Chapter 490 Pineapple Head with Glasses
Den Den Mushi Castle
On the empty first floor, the man in black armor and Rayleigh sat opposite each other.
With his narrow eyes gleaming, 『BIB』said slowly: 『Regarding Conqueror Haki 』
"Ah, what did you say? I can't hear you clearly..." Rayleigh opened his hands next to his ears, as if there was a video Den Den Mushi in front of him with a crackling sound and poor signal.
"…" "BIB" was silent. This was why it was always silent.
"Now it's all right," Rayleigh took out a bottle of wine, tilted his head back and took a sip, "You can talk."
『BIB』 sat cross-legged with his arms folded, and said in a deep voice: 『Over the years, according to my observations and conclusions, I have a guess about Conqueror Haki, or, in other words, about this thing called Haki... Haki has always referred to the same thing. That is a certain energy in the human body! Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and even Conqueror Haki are just different ways of using this power...』
"'You'?" Rayleigh's focus seemed to be different.
"BIB" said: "...I am Giorno, and Giorno is me."
Rayleigh said, "You guys are really weird..." He waved his hand and corrected, "You are really weird."
His casual tone quickly changed, he took a sip of wine, and said leisurely: "Go on."
"Armament Haki refers to the method of directly using one's own Haki." The Stand Armor slowly stated, "Observation Haki is the method of receiving this kind of energy signal from the body of external objects... It is precisely because of the information exchange at the energy level that people can sense the situation hundreds or thousands of meters away in a short moment, and can also sort out various situations covered by Observation Haki with an efficiency that exceeds one's own thinking ability..."
"You think so? I never thought so!" The bottle stopped at his lips. Rayleigh thought for a moment and smiled. "But if I think about it carefully, it seems to be exactly what you said."
"BIB" said: "This can explain two things. First, everyone is born with domineering power, but they just don't know how to use it..."
These were Rayleigh's original words when he taught Luffy. Rayleigh listened and nodded frequently.
"Second, some people are born with a certain kind of Haki awakened. There are more examples of Observation Haki, and the least of them are Conqueror Haki." The Stand Armor said slowly, "These people are not born with a certain kind of Haki awakened - Haki itself exists in everyone's body; what they instinctively know is the technique of using Haki... just like some people are born with the ability to write with their left hand, and some people can easily do things that others can't do even if they study hard without practice."
For example, Hancock was born with the ability to master Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror Haki. While ordinary people are still practicing how to master Haki, she might still be wondering, does it need to be learned specifically for something as simple as eating, drinking, and breathing?
Rayleigh nodded and said, "I have indeed seen people who are born with the ability to see and hear..."
He stroked his chin and suddenly smiled. "We once had a samurai on our ship who was born with the ability to use Armament Haki! Even the difficult Ryuo, according to him, he had never learned much. But after hearing about such a thing, he was able to use it in the blink of an eye. He was an amazing guy."
Is this Kozuki Oden, who was thrown to his nanny at birth, caught rabbits at the age of two, threw bears at the age of four, and visited prostitutes at the age of six? "BIB" understood.
Rayleigh took a sip of wine and said, "I think I know what you are going to say..."
"Haoshoku Haki is also a skill that can be learned." He wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and smiled, "You think so, right?"
This serious tone...BIB couldn't help but be solemn.
Rayleigh nodded and said, "Yes, you are right."
As expected, the Conqueror Haki is still... huh? "BIB" was shaken by Rayleigh's sudden change of tone. This old man is so naughty!
"Conqueror's Haki is like a rare talent that can do two things at once..." The Stand Armor said in a deep voice, "It is necessary to combine the two skills of Armament Haki that uses energy and Observation Haki that receives information. This can explain... why Conqueror's Haki can be targeted at a certain target. It also explains why some powerful Conqueror's Haki can even cause physical damage... It cannot be explained by the so-called king's spirit alone. Since Conqueror's Haki is also called Haki, then it is obvious that the answer is already self-evident - it is originally "Haki." 』
Rayleigh drank and laughed, "Did you learn this from Shanks?"
"No." The Stand Armor said, "Boa Hancock, she was born with Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror Haki all awakened..."
Rayleigh was surprised: "Looks a lot like Roger? That's amazing."
Pirate King Roger was also born with all three colors of Haki fully awakened? "BIB" was very surprised, but also felt it was reasonable.
Perhaps it is because of such a monster that the heavens envy him and he suffers from an incurable disease...
As for Hancock? BIB is not worried at all. God is probably her fan. How could he bear to see her die?
"The power of Armament Haki and the sharpness of Observation Haki, combined together, is the so-called 'two-tasking', which is Conqueror Haki..." Rayleigh pondered, "I see. Since I awakened Conqueror Haki myself, I have never thought about it from this perspective... But, this is probably why Aojiao is always so conceited..."
"Green pepper?"
"Cone Pepper. An old fellow from a previous era." Rayleigh drank. "Maybe not many people know him now, ever since he was taught a lesson by Garp... He was the backbone of the navy of the Flower Kingdom. He used to be very proud of their Eight Treasures Navy and the so-called 'Eight Punches'! Now that I think about it, Pepper's pride might be that they were able to 'learn the Conqueror's Haki'."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Eight Punches..." the Stand Armor pondered.
"What's the matter?" Rayleigh asked curiously, "Do you have a grudge against Qingjiao?" "No," BIB's narrow eyes flickered, "Because I am from the Kingdom of Flowers. And... I also know a little bit of Ba Chong Quan."
Rayleigh was surprised.
…
〖No. 29 ——〗
Marco patted the blue flame on his clothes on his shoulder, adjusted his glasses, and stepped into the gray area of the Sabaody Archipelago.
If Rayleigh wanted to live in seclusion in this archipelago, then in order to avoid harassment from the navy, it is very likely that he would choose number 1 to 29.
He started from No. 29, passed No. 28, No. 27...
Bars, restaurants, streets...
Marco skillfully moved through various places suitable for gathering information, and soon heard interesting content from the pirates who were drinking and chatting.
"It's been really uneasy lately. I heard there's a hunter called 'Tequila' popping up..." The pirate burped and said disdainfully, "He's really nonsense. When he meets me, I'll let him know what a real pirate is! Hahaha..."
"A real pirate?" Another pirate shook his head and said drunkenly, "The Pluto Rayleigh and Giovanna Giorno didn't talk a while ago, so how could it be your turn?"
The pirate who threatened to teach bounty hunter Tequila a lesson sneered, "'Pluto'? They are all old guys from the old times! Besides, do you really believe such rumors? The remnants of Pirate King Roger were wiped out by the navy a long time ago... hiccups!"
At this moment, a hand with blue flames pressed on his shoulder. The pirate turned his head and saw a pineapple-haired man wearing glasses. He smiled gently and asked, "Are there more things about Rayleigh and Giorno that you mentioned?"
