One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

They usually possess certain extremely powerful attributes.

For example, the national treasure of Wano Country, the black sword Shusui.

Its key features are its exceptional toughness and hardness.

Even if a dinosaur stepped on the blade, it wouldn't bend by even a millimeter.

Another example is the Black Blade Yoru, used by Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman.

Although the attributes of the Black Blade Yoru are unknown, it is universally acknowledged as one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, and that is enough.

"This halberd was not used by Wang Zhi alone. Over the centuries, many powerful figures from the Flower Kingdom have used this national treasure. Its nurturing was completed by several powerful individuals."

Zhan Guo smiled at Luo Xia and handed the Heavenly Dragon Halberd back.

"Now, isn't it your turn to take over? I hope it will undergo its final transformation in your hands and become the Black Blade."

"That's too early. I haven't even mastered Armament Haki yet."

Luo Xia scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Three days."

Zephyr held up three fingers. "Within three days, I will help you awaken Armament Haki."

"Three...three days?"

Rorschach was stunned.

“What’s so surprising? I’m Black Arm Zeff! Sakazuki, you should be free these next few days, right? I’ll need your help then.”

Zephyr said to Akainu.

"Okay." Akainu was as sparing with his words as ever.

"But Uncle Kuzan said that I couldn't awaken because my physique hadn't reached its bottleneck..."

"Kuzan? He doesn't know anything about Haki."

Before Luo Xia could finish speaking, Zefa grinned, and a deep, inky color instantly covered his exposed left arm.

"I have devoted my life to studying physical techniques and Haki. In order to hone the ultimate Haki, I even gave up several opportunities to obtain some excellent Devil Fruit abilities."

"Kid, let me tell you, never rely too much on your Devil Fruit powers. In this world, Haki is the power that transcends everything!"

Looking at Zephyr's steel-like left arm, Rorschach sensed with his Observation Haki that the power contained within was so terrifying that he probably couldn't withstand even a single punch from it.

"Hahaha, that's right! Domineering aura is the strongest power that every strong person must possess!"

Garp laughed, the air around him distorted, and his clenched fist seemed to be covered with an invisible, intangible armor.

“But I think some Devil Fruits are also very powerful…” Rorschach muttered to himself.

"Hmm?" Zephyr and Garp looked over at the same time, their expressions darkening, which made Rorschach shiver.

Garp stepped forward, grabbed Rorschach's shoulder, and dragged him toward one side of the square.

"Kid, practice is the only true measure. Since you don't believe me, then I'll let you experience the power of dominance firsthand."

Zefa, with seaweed in his mouth and swinging his mechanical arm, followed along.

"Grandpa, I was just saying that casually. I didn't mean that being domineering isn't important."

Rorschach wanted to cry but had no tears.

Honestly, why am I saying this in front of these two old guys who don't reap the rewards?

He spent his entire life honing his physical skills and Haki, and without relying on Devil Fruits, he defeated all the well-known and powerful figures across the entire ocean.

Chapter 100 The Mystery of Fist and Bone: The Humanoid Black Blade

Far from the central square, in a corner, Luo Xia, looking miserable, was grabbed by two fierce-looking old men.

"Click." "Click."

Garp released Rorschach, clenched his fist so tightly it cracked, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Kid, come and fight me."

Rorschach's lips twitched, and he waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, "Grandpa Garp, how could I possibly be your match? Please let me go."

"No! We have to fight so you can truly understand the power of the Overlord."

Garp stomped his foot and charged straight at Rorschach, raising a fist and lightly striking his face.

According to Rorschach's Observation Haki, Garp's fist did not appear to be covered with Armament Haki.

However, even if Garp doesn't use Haki, he probably still...

"Blue Scale Form!"

A six-meter-tall Qilin rose from the ground, and Rorschach gripped the Heavenly Dragon Halberd in his hand, using it as a large cleaver to slash down at Garp's head!

"A discharge of fifty million volts!"

"Rachel!"

Crackling lightning flashed on the halberd's blade, transforming the Heavenly Dragon Halberd into a battle halberd radiating lightning.

boom!

Before the halberd could even strike Garp, the explosive power of the halberd cleaved a crack tens of meters long in the ground in front of Rorschach.

"That's the kind of spirit we need!"

Garp's smile grew even brighter as he punched directly at the sharpest blade of the halberd.

"Fist bone!"

"Clang!"

A loud bang of metal clashing.

Luo Xia felt his arm muscles trembling violently, and he could barely hold onto the halberd, as if it were about to fly out of his hands.

The heavy Heavenly Dragon Halberd was sent flying high into the air by Garp's punch, along with Rorschach's six-meter-tall body.

"What? Your fists aren't covered in Armament Haki?"

Luo Xia's eyes showed confusion.

"Hahaha, so, Rorschach kid, your understanding of Haki is still at the most basic level of coverage."

Garp stepped on the Mooncloth, his figure flashing, so fast that he even stirred up a violent gust of wind in the air.

"Fist bone..."

A rough, large hand gripped Luo Xia's face, making his scalp tingle.

"Life returned!"

His already imposing body swelled even more in an instant. Crows was surrounded by lightning. He didn't bother to use his battle halberd to attack Garp. His silver hair was crackling with lightning as he stabbed towards Garp's eyes.

Garp ignored him, grabbed his face, and slammed him to the ground with his right arm.

"Falling into the ocean!"

Boom!

A deafening explosion, like a thunderclap, resounded throughout Marineford Square, sending chills down the spines of the new recruits and instructors who had resumed training.

On the ground, Luo Xia's body crashed down like a meteorite, blasting a large crater more than ten meters in diameter into the hard bluestone floor.

"Cough cough! This old man actually used such a heavy hand, does he think I'm Kuzan?"

Deep in the pit, Luo Xia's body was directly knocked back to its original form by this move, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his battle halberd flying out of his hand.

"Clap."

With a soft thud, Garp landed from the air and stood on the edge of the pit. He squatted down and looked at Rorschach lying on his back at the bottom of the pit with a grin.

"Well, kid, do you understand now?"

"What do I understand?! What have you taught me, and you're asking me if I understand?"

Luo Xia was speechless with frustration.

Is this Garp's teaching style?

Give him a beating, then ask yourself if you understand now.

"Domineering aura isn't just for nurturing weapons."

At that moment, Zephyr appeared at the edge of the pit and explained to Rorschach.

He pointed to Garp, who was squatting to the side, and said, "Garp's strongest move is called Fist Bone."

"You probably noticed it too, right? Even though Garp wasn't using Armament Haki, his fist was harder than your great sword, wasn't it?"

Luo Xia was startled.

He looked at Garp in disbelief.

"Could it be... that you've internalized your domineering aura to the very core?"

"Hahaha, that's right! Since domineering aura can be applied to weapons, and after a long period of nurturing with domineering aura, a weapon can be transformed into an incomparably hard and incredibly powerful black blade, then it can absolutely also nurture a human body into a 'black blade' in the same way!"

Garp extended his fist.

"After decades of cultivating my domineering power, I have honed these fists into 'black knives'."

"To...to train one's own fist into a black blade??"

Luo Xia's eyes widened, his face showing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"Originally, I wanted to train all the bones in my body to the level of a black blade. But Armament Haki is a power that is trained within the human body."

"Therefore, using this internal strength to train oneself is not as effective as using it to nurture weapons."

Garp pulled a donut out of nowhere, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed, then pointed at Zephyr's arm.

"The saying goes, 'Don't bite off more than you can chew.' Look at Zephyr, he wanted to surpass me, so he used Haki to nurture both arms, trying to turn them into black blades. Hahaha, but he still hasn't succeeded. I guess he'll never have the chance in this lifetime."

Bang!

A rock hit Garp on the forehead, shattering into pieces.
