I, a Celestial Dragon!

“Haha, Mr. Rayleigh, I don’t believe that’s your limit.

But even if it's not the case, I bet you can only continue to fight me for ten minutes. Do you think my bet is right?"

Gawain teased with a smile, and his words made Rayleigh simply raise his cane.

"You are disrespectful to your teacher, you little brat. Look at the sword!"

"okay!"

Gawain smiled and swung his bamboo sword, his blade moving along with Rayleigh's cane. He kept blocking Rayleigh's slow teaching of swordsmanship while Gawain listened to Rayleigh continue.

“Only when the domineering Haki is immature will it work for a short time but cannot be actively controlled.

That kind of domineering color can only become the power of its owner when the mood is excited enough.

If your domineering Haki foundation is not strong enough, I will probably beat you half to death and then throw you into the jungle to compete with wild beasts for food.

Only when you feel enough crisis can you get used to the feeling of using Dominant Haki.

But your foundation of Conqueror's Haki is so strong that you can skip this step. From now on, you can practice Conqueror's Haki with me for four hours every day.

Of course, future confrontations are conditional. During the confrontation, I will constantly change the strength of my Domineering Color.

No matter how strong my domineering power is, you must maintain an equal strength with me!

Pay attention, even if my domineering aura is as dim as a candle in the wind, you must maintain an equal strength with me!

If you can’t do it, then, haha…”

Snapped!

There was a crisp sound.

"Uh!"

Gawain was knocked flying sideways, and he rolled six times on the beach before he finally stopped.

Rayleigh smiled slightly as he watched Gawain, who had finally managed to get up after holding up his left thigh and struggling several times.

“The swordplay I just performed can be broken even by a six-year-old child in the East Sea. From tomorrow on, even during our training, Big Bear will be by your side.

Pay attention, from now on, your domineering Haki must be equal to mine. If you extinguish the candle of my domineering Haki, I will teach you how to become a swordsman!

But, I don’t want you to become a swordsman without mastering the Conqueror’s Haki!”

After he finished speaking, Rayleigh came to Gawain with a smile.

"Does it hurt?"

he asked.

Gawain took a breath and laughed.

"It hurts, old man."

“That’s good, let’s deepen the impression and keep the injury as long as possible.

Believe me, it would not be a good thing if you over-rely on the big bear's ability and underestimate the sense of crisis that pain brings you.

Today's training ends here. Get on my back and I'll carry you back!"

As he spoke, Rayleigh turned his back to Gawain and squatted down.

Looking at Rayleigh's gray hair, Gawain shook his head slightly.

"I can walk on my own."

"Humph!"

Rayleigh suddenly snorted heavily.

"You have a lot to learn, you little brat. You don't even know your own body.

Your bone is already broken. You will break it if you can't walk a hundred steps. Otherwise, do you think I am willing to carry you?

When I carried you on my back, I moved my broken left leg by myself. Don't be afraid of the pain, feel the pain carefully.

If you want to become a truly strong person, you must remember the feeling of pain. You must learn to judge the extent of your injury based on the types of pain you experience. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh turned around and picked up Gawain. Then he threw Gawain on his back and walked slowly.

And Gawain, feeling the care and earnest teachings from old man Rayleigh, endured the severe pain and moved his right leg with a grimace.

Even though he had no experience, he tried his best to feel the taste of the moment, because experience comes from hard work.

After remembering the current feeling deeply, whenever he encountered similar pain and bone discomfort, he would know the extent of his injury.

On the beach, Rayleigh walked while paying attention to Gawain's condition. He saw that Gawain was sweating from the pain, but he still followed his instructions.

Rayleigh smiled knowingly.

Then, he suddenly started telling Gawain some stories to distract his attention.

"Conqueror's Haki is a power that does not change with the strength of the owner.

Its strength has nothing to do with your ability. Everything depends on your heart.

There are many children in the world who have awakened their Dominant Haki since childhood, but they may not make any progress in their Dominant Haki throughout their life.

There are also many people who don't awaken their Domineering Haki until old age, but over a few years, the strength of their Domineering Haki continues to increase.

why?

At this point, I will tell you about what I studied with Roger back then. "

Rayleigh smiled with a nostalgic look in his eyes. He looked towards the dense forest in the distance and spoke softly.

"After comparing many Conqueror Haki owners, Roger and I finally came to a certain conclusion. After all, we are quite aggressive, like to fight, and are always chased and beaten.

Beat all the owners of Conqueror's Haki once, and then beat them again every few years. Wouldn't it be possible to find data that can be summarized?

We found that the intensity of the domineering color is mainly determined by three points.

The most important and top priority is the dream itself. The purpose of awakening the Conqueror's Haki basically determines the initial strength of the Conqueror's Haki.

Many people only awaken in desperate situations, and their goal is just to stay alive, so their domineering color will be very weak at the beginning.

There are some people, like you, who don’t know what kind of monster lives in your heart. I hope you won’t be devoured by that monster!

As for the improvement of the Domineering Haki, it is mainly achieved through the continuous realization of goals.

The closer you are to your goal, the more relaxed your mentality will be. The more achievements you make and the higher your status, the more magnificent your momentum will naturally become.

So I told Daxiong that even if your career is just starting out, I think you are the one closest to success!

As for those who awaken with ordinary goals, if they encounter different choices in their life, as long as they have clarified their new goals, their domineering color will still be enhanced as the new goals are continuously achieved.

In short, this power can be strong or weak, but there are always a few key points.

For example, lofty ideals, firm goals, tenacious will, and fearless spirit.

Also, I have extreme self-confidence, as if I am the only one who is superior to others!

It is for this reason that the domineering color domineering is called the domineering nature!

Otherwise, compared to Armament Haki and Observation Haki, Conqueror Haki should be called Dizziness Haki or Wave Haki, right?"

"indeed!"

Gawain responded while enduring the pain, and his miserable appearance made Rayleigh burst out laughing.

As he laughed, Rayleigh missed the past more and more, and he said slowly.

“You don’t have to answer me, you should just feel the pain. The more you feel now, the better you will know how to avoid pain in the future.

I am old now, so it is inevitable that I talk more, and I am usually silent, haha.

After that year, I have been silent for too long...

Carrying you, little brat, on my back, I can't help but recall that the last person I carried on my back was a kid named Shanks.

I like Shanks guy better, but Jabba, haha, that guy appreciates Buggy more.

I don't know if you've heard of those two kids, they've grown up... er..."

Having said this, Rayleigh couldn't help but pause, and his voice became a little helpless.

“Well, at least one of them has become a big shot, haha.

In this way, it is indeed the people that I admire who are more worthy of my appreciation!

But Jabba likes guys who are lucky, and he also likes bastards who like to laugh and make trouble. Bucky's smile is not the kind of unpredictable smile you usually have. He is really grinning, and he is grinning alone, haha!

Looking back, if there weren’t so much blood and wailing in my life memories, my life now would probably be much happier than it is now…”

After he finished speaking, Rayleigh sighed slowly, then he quickened his pace.

Not long after, he brought Gawain back to the beach.

Just after Gawain was placed on the sofa that Kalifa had prepared in the afternoon, before Rayleigh had time to call the big bear over to clap his claws, Jinbei came to Gawain in a serious manner.

"grown ups!"

Jinbei bowed heavily and lowered his head.

"I'm afraid I've caused you trouble!"

"What's wrong."

Gawain was not in a hurry to summon Kuma. He and Rayleigh looked at Jinbe together.

Facing Gao Wen's calm gaze, Jinpei's nervousness faded a lot. He rubbed his hair on both sides of his temples and answered.

"Whitebeard father just called me and he already knew about the fact that Fishman Island has hoisted your flag.

As for me, I couldn't help but say more because I was grateful for the kindness of old man Whitebeard.

As a result..., Whitebeard decided to go to Fishman Island. He probably wants to meet you in person."

After saying this, Jinbei lowered his head again.

Looking at Jinbei's ashamed look, Gawain smiled slightly and patted Jinbei's leg.

"Is that all? That's fine. I can just find time to meet him.

Did he mention the specific time?"

"Uh, no."

Jinbei quickly shook his head.

Looking at Jinbei's appearance, Gawain smiled freely.

"Don't worry too much. Whether it's Whitebeard or other powerful men in this sea, I will meet them one day.

As for seeing it sooner or later, it makes no difference.

Relax, everything remains the same. If he arrives at Fishman Island, we can just rush over there!"

"As ordered!"

After hearing Gawain's decision, Jinbei looked at Gawain with emotion. Lord Gawain was able to face the approach of Whitebeard with such a nonchalant attitude. He was worthy of being the person he had decided to follow!

Meanwhile, Gawain finally called over Big Bear and slapped the fractured bones and pain out of his body.

It was now six o'clock in the afternoon. Kalifa had already prepared dinner. Everyone ate until seven o'clock, but still did not wait for Gion and Hancock to return.

The flashes of swords and shadows of legs in the distance continued endlessly.

In this case, Rayleigh temporarily acted as Gawain's physical fitness and boxing coach, and continued to train until about 9:40 in the evening, when a pile of red cat claws accumulated behind Gawain.

Gion finally came out of the dense forest.

She was holding her sword, and her clothes were not damaged at all, and there was not a single scar on her body.

But behind her, Hancock did not appear.

Gion looked at Gawain and noticed how seriously he was practicing. She smiled with satisfaction and then nodded to Rayleigh.

"Mr. Rayleigh, leave Lord Gawain to me. It's late at night and the training will only last until eleven. Go and get some rest."

"Well, I'll leave him to you. But by the way, where's little Hancock?"

Rayleigh asked Gion with a smile.

"Are you two really going to fight to the death?"

"How can it be!"
