Chapter 19: Transcendent-level Observation Haki ()
Points flowed away like water, and the ten thousand points Lin Que had just harvested yesterday were instantly cleared by more than half.
And in return, the level of his Observation Haki was directly raised to the Transcendent level.
Lin Que tried to activate it, and the next second, his perception began to spread wildly in all directions.
First, the palace ruins and the vast surrounding forest, then Cocoyasi Village and the edge of the island.
In less than a second, even the sound of the waves on the sea more than a thousand kilometers away fell clearly into Lin Que's ears.
Lin Que temporarily stopped the expansion of the range and instead sensed the specific differences.
Unlike the simple and crude perception that relied on powerful physical fitness in the past.
The perception activated through Observation Haki was smoother and more delicate, like a gentle spring rain falling quietly, shrouding everything.
In this state of perception, Lin Que could basically judge the location and number of enemies around him, as well as the actions his opponents were about to take in the next instant, without much effort.
In addition, after pushing the Transcendent-level Observation Haki to the limit, Lin Que's perception even developed some special abilities he didn't have before.
Like Katakuri's future sight, Roger's voice of all things, and Otohime's thought transmission and emotional resonance.
These realms, which were very rare in the original work and even claimed to be impossible to achieve through later cultivation, were all naturally mastered by Lin Que after he raised his Observation Haki to the Transcendent level.
"Not a loss."
A look of satisfaction appeared on Lin Que's face.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
The points required to raise skill levels were indeed a bit high.
But after raising the level, the return was real.
"This Observation Haki... what did you do?!"
Mihawk, standing to the North North North Side, looked at Lin Que in disbelief.
Although the speed of mastery was a bit fast, the other party's Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki were still within the normal range.
But what was going on with this Observation Haki?
As soon as Lin Que activated it, he felt a pair of invisible eyes appear, seeing through all his secrets.
Mihawk had experienced this situation before.
That was a situation that only occurred when the level of Observation Haki exceeded one's own by a large margin.
In just a few minutes, Observation Haki could be raised to this extent?
Lin Que's unintentional action once again reshaped Mihawk's shattered worldview.
"You can go now."
Perhaps because Mihawk's emotions were too agitated, even though Lin Que didn't specifically listen, the other party's inner voice still reached his ears.
Shifting his gaze over, Lin Que waved his hand at him casually.
"Just like I said before, just help me collect more valuable treasures."
"Don't be afraid of provoking people; if someone attacks you, just hit them back."
Mihawk couldn't help but ask: "What if there are many people on the other North North North Side and I can't beat them?"
"If you can't beat them, then go die."
Lin Que said with a smile, delivering a cold reply: "I took you in to have you do work, not to raise a master."
"If you do well, I will naturally have rewards for you."
"But if you can't even do this, then you're useless."
After driving Mihawk away, Lin Que glanced at the remaining activity time.
Yesterday he traveled here to solve Arlong, knocked down Mihawk, then participated in a banquet and played all night with Nami.
Adding these things up, it took him a little over half a day.
Now, he had a little over ten hours of activity time left in the One Piece world.
It didn't seem like much, but for Lin Que, it was enough.
"If there's only one Mihawk, the efficiency is still too low."
"I need to find more people to ensure I can cover the whole world."
Tossing a pebble in his hand, a thoughtful look appeared on Lin Que's face.
To be honest, there were still many optional targets.
But as for who would be most effective to control......
"Let's go take down the World Government; it's a good way to farm some world reputation."
Navy Headquarters, Marineford.
As the dominant force on the ocean, Marineford's location was extremely special.
Not only was it below the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, acting as a gatekeeper.
It was also directly above the undersea passage to Fish-Man Island, which led to the second half of the Grand Line, maintaining order.
And not far from Marineford was the famous Sabaody Archipelago.
Because it was backed by the Red Line, there was no bad weather there all year round.
Coupled with the beautiful scenery, a large number of Celestial Dragons liked to go there to squander their money.
And as the dogs of the World Government, the Navy naturally had to protect the safety of the Celestial Dragons.
Situated at the intersection of these three important locations, even though Marineford was the Navy Headquarters, it still had to spend a lot of energy managing it every day.
Fortunately, the overall strength of the Navy had gradually increased in recent years, and coupled with the constraints of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the overall situation on the ocean had begun to stabilize.
But even so, the Navy Headquarters still had to deal with a large number of troubles every day, many of which were very strange situations.
"What did you say?"
Listening to the news coming from the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku couldn't help but be stunned.
"A Navy branch in the East Blue disappeared into thin air?"
"Saying it disappeared isn't quite accurate."
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Garp stood at the very front of the warship, looking at the sea ahead with a solemn expression.
"It evaporated along with the entire island."
Sengoku frowned: "The reason?"
"It was sunk by a pebble."
Recalling the phantom that had flashed past his warship not long ago, Garp couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Someone threw a pebble from a very far place."
"That pebble hit the island and evaporated it along with the Navy branch on it."
"Garp, this is not the time for jokes."
"Do you think I look like I'm joking?"
"......"
On both sides of the Den Den Mushi, the two fell silent together.
As the ceiling of the One Piece world, both Sengoku and Garp actually had the ability to destroy a small island, but that was by no means a simple matter.
Throwing a pebble from a thousand meters away or even further to sink an island.
If he didn't understand Garp's personality, Sengoku would even want to pry open the other's head to see what the person who said this was thinking.
"I just asked, the manager here is a Colonel named Nezumi."
Garp's voice came through the Den Den Mushi again: "You check to see if he has any grudges with anyone."
"I will investigate."
Sengoku replied: "You also investigate the vicinity to see if there are any traces of Ancient Weapons."
"Okay."
ECHO is turned off.
