After hearing what Guan Liyuan said, Zoro didn't know what he was thinking about. He stood there for a long time. When he came to his senses, Guan Liyuan had already left.

"Oh no! I haven't informed the chef and the long nose yet..." Zoro muttered, and then ran away in a hurry.

As for Luffy? First of all, Zoro didn't believe that Luffy would be easily killed by the navy. Secondly... the big guy just now should have gone to save Luffy, right? Is he Luffy's uncle? He looks quite young...

In fact, Guan Liyuan was always aware of the situation of Luffy's battle with Smoker, so he was not in a hurry before. To be precise, the entire Rogue Town was actually covered by Guan Liyuan's observation Haki. Haki

is a unique power system in the world of pirates. Compared with the ability of fruits, fruits represent "non-human" abilities, while Haki strengthens the abilities of "people" themselves.

Even the so-called special attributes... For example, Enel's "heart net" has a much larger range than the same observation Haki, Roger's "listening to the voice of all things" has many more uses than the same observation Haki, and Guan Liyuan's Armament Haki and Observation Haki both use soul effects... and so on, which are also extensions of personal abilities.

Enel's desire for control, Roger's broad mind, Guan Liyuan's kryptonian soul... give their Haki a mind-based effect bonus.

Special Conqueror Haki aside, the cultivation of the other two "popular" Haki can be roughly divided into two major schools. One is like Guan Liyuan, who starts with Haki from the beginning, while also improving various skills and steadily improving strength;

the other is to practice the basics first... Whether it is kendo, physical martial arts, or fruit ability, first improve your foundation, and then practice Haki. In this way, after practicing Haki, there will be a leap period.

The advantage of the former is that the domineering and the foundation are improved at the same time, and the skills are also adapted to the domineering. There will not be some moves that are quite useful without domineering, but become useless after everyone has domineering; the advantage of the latter is that when there is no domineering, the practice of skills can be uninterrupted by domineering, and it is easier to reach a profound level.

Many swordsmen prefer the latter, because in this way their sword will will be purer...

However, for Guan Liyuan, he did not practice basic skills in the pirate world, but he had the foundation in the main world and other worlds, and he practiced domineering for ten years. To a certain extent, Guan Liyuan is also the second type, but his foundation-laying process was not completed in the pirate world!

In the four seas and even the first half of the Grand Line, domineering is very rare, and the navy also takes the second path, first honing skills with the six styles, and then practicing domineering after the strength is formed. To

a certain extent, the world government is also unwilling to see domineering in the first half of the Grand Line and the four seas. As for the "New World"... Because the power of the four emperors is too strong, the world government has almost no influence there.

However, in Rogue Town, Guan Liyuan had not yet discovered who else had Haki, so he used his Observation Haki without any scruples, not worrying about being discovered at all...

Sure enough, even without Buggy, Luffy still ran into Smoker's hands.

From the previous intelligence, Guan Liyuan already knew that Smoker had been preparing to "block" Luffy recently.

After all, after defeating Arlong, Luffy was wanted for the first time and was set at a high price of 30 million, becoming the pirate with the highest bounty in the East China Sea.

And with Luffy's personality, it is impossible for him to leave Rogue Town, the "holy city" in the minds of the pirates... As

for the battle situation, it was also within Guan Liyuan's expectations. Luffy had no way to deal with the natural-type Smoker. On the one hand, it was because he did not have Haki and had no solution to the natural type. On the other hand, Smoker also had a pair of ten hands with seastone inlaid on the front, which poked Luffy so hard.

The two have acquired the fruit ability for more than ten years. Their physical skills are closely integrated with the fruit ability and they are also adapted to each other. If both of them have mastered a certain degree of Armament Haki and Smoker does not have Seastone, they should be able to fight... But there is no "if"!

In the current battle, Luffy has no way to deal with the Nature Fruit. Even if Smoker's physical skills are lowered by two levels, he still can't win.

And Smoker's ten hands are the most "upright" original ten hands. There are no black moves with iron hooks and spikes. It is more like a blunt weapon. Therefore, it is not very effective against the rubber fruit. However, Smoker's ten hands are inlaid with a seastone on the front end, causing Luffy to be completely "poked and jumped" now. He just uses his own flexibility to dodge and has no ability to fight back.

"Your daydreaming ends here! Straw Hat Boy!" Smoker hates "pirates who talk about One Piece" more than "pirates who do evil."

Although Smoker's hatred for these pirates is different from that of the World Government, because their existence has fueled the tide of the pirate era and will breed more "pirates who do evil", but it is true that his thoughts are in line with the political correctness of the World Government on this point.

This is also the reason why Smoker's official career gradually became prosperous after he stared at Luffy and "hammered" him in the original work. In addition, as the World Government's policy change on pirates, Smoker, as a hawk, began to be gradually reused.

This is also the reason why the Anbu has been unable to "develop" Smoker. While yearning for moral justice, Smoker still supports absolute justice.

At this time, Smoker had used the "White Snake" with his smoke-like left hand to completely trap Luffy, and took the opportunity to smoke his right wrist. The ten hands in his hand were aimed at Luffy's throat and stabbed fiercely!

But at this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Luffy, and the black and purple right hand directly grasped Smoker's smoke-like wrist...

"Who is it!" Smoker asked immediately after a slight pause.

At this time, he also found that his wrist was completely grasped and could not be pulled out!

Even though he had not yet cultivated Haki, Smoker at least knew the existence of Haki, and understood that those who could master Haki were at least not weaklings...

"He's just an uncle who came to control the secondhand smoke and save the children." Guan Liyuan said.

Although Guan Liyuan regarded himself as an "uncle", in fact, because the lifespan of the giants is more than three times that of humans, Guan Liyuan, as a half-man of the giants, still looks only about twenty years old even after ten years in the pirate world.

"Are you an accomplice of the Straw Hat? Then stay together!" Smoker said, and smoke burst out from his body, like a vine entwining Guan Liyuan.

Although the Armament Haki can attack the entity of the natural ability user, it will not directly invalidate and weaken the opponent's ability like seastone.

As a man who was born in the Navy Headquarters and had seen a lot, Smoker was thinking of using the "white vines" to trap Guan Liyuan. Even if one or two of the white vines that turned into smoke were attacked by Guan Liyuan, he would only be injured...

However, Smoker obviously misjudged Guan Liyuan's use of Armament Haki!

Before the "white vines" got close, Guan Liyuan slightly tightened his grip on Smoker's wrist, and a scream came out of Smoker's mouth.

It wasn’t because it hurt... When he used the white vine to attack Guan Liyuan, he had already prepared for his wrist to be broken, but the pain at this time was not as simple as a broken wrist bone!

From the position where Guan Liyuan was holding, Smoker’s right arm began to be passively covered with Armament Haki gradually...

And for the natural fruit ability user, when the body is elementalized, the elementalized part cannot cover the Armament Haki. After Guan Liyuan forcibly covered it with Armament Haki, Smoker felt the pain of his arm being beaten into dust!

It might be better to be beaten into powder, but at this time, these dusts still have pain nerves...

At the same time, Smoker’s elementalization was also passively cancelled. The right arm that was originally stretched long and smoked quickly returned to its original state, and the wrist was held by Guan Liyuan, so it was Smoker’s body. When he felt great pain, it was pulled by the "rebounding" arm and dragged in front of Guan Liyuan by friction on the ground...
