Chapter 318

Master Zefa cut straight to the point: "What I will teach you is Observation Haki and Armament Haki. The former allows you to sense a person's inner thoughts, anticipate an enemy's movements, and predict their attacks."

"It is an extremely powerful perception ability…"

"Once mastered, you will be able to foresee enemy attacks beforehand, effortlessly avoiding them."

"The latter is a very powerful offensive technique."

"It is also the second method, besides Seastone, to counter Logia users across this sea. And it is the very path to becoming a true Champion."

"If you had already mastered Armament Haki, you wouldn't have needed Seastone to capture Smoker. At that point, even unarmed, you could kill Smoker with a single hand."

Lu En had some understanding of Observation and Armament Haki.

Next,

under Master Zefa's instruction, his comprehension of the two Haki types grew increasingly profound.

As he was about to begin training in the two Haki types, Lu En's heart swelled with excitement and anticipation, and he listened intently to every word Master Zefa spoke.

What he currently lacked most…

was the two Haki types!

Only by mastering the two Haki types could one become a Champion!

The two Haki types were the key and core to becoming a Champion.

Without mastering the two Haki types, one could not truly protect oneself across this sea.

Mastering Six Powers was far from enough!

Haki was the foundation of everything.

It was also the true measure of strength across this sea.

"Devil Fruits can never lead one to the strongest…"

"Only Haki can reach the pinnacle of the world!"

Master Zefa suddenly glanced at Lu En with a complex expression and added an unexpected warning.

He paused,

then sighed: "That statement was made by a great pirate from the old era. Though I have never approved of pirates, I must admit—his words struck right to my heart."

"I agree with his words."

"Across this sea, only Haki is the key to becoming the strongest!"

"As for Devil Fruits…"

"They simply lack such ability and potential."

Huh!

Master Zefa exhaled softly, his expression solemn: "In the coming period, I will teach you the correct method to cultivate Haki."

"Of course."

"For a beginner, fully mastering the two Haki types will inevitably take a long time."

"Even the most gifted genius…"

"cannot possibly master the two Haki types in less than a year and a half."

"Therefore, before we begin, you must prepare yourself mentally."
