Chapter 323

Previously,

He had once judged.

To master Observation Haki, one would need at least several months to possibly touch its core secret.

Never in his wildest dreams…

Before him, the four-year-old Lu En had done it in just half an hour!

Observation Haki had already been fully comprehended by the boy.

"What kind of monster is this kid?!"

Zefa opened his mouth, his spirit violently shaken.

Huh!

He exhaled heavily, tossed aside the branch in his hand, and stared with wide, terrified eyes at Lu En, who sat with eyes half-closed.

The way he looked at Lu En…

Was as if he were staring at a monster!

After a long silence,

Zefa finally spoke: "Enough. You don't need to train Observation Haki anymore."

Upon hearing this,

Lu En opened his eyes.

The moment he opened them, he saw Zefa's complex expression.

"You've already mastered Observation Haki?"

Zefa asked again.

Even now, he still could not believe such a reality-shattering phenomenon.

This was simply too astonishing!

Less than half an hour…

A complete beginner had mastered Observation Haki?!

If this got out, the entire sea would be turned upside down.

Unprecedented!

Unheard of!

"Master Zefa, didn't you already know the result just now?"

Lu En replied with a smile.

"You kid…"

"You're truly a monster!"

Zefa sighed, offering an honest evaluation.

He had taught too many geniuses in his lifetime.

Yet not one of them could be compared to Lu En before him.

After a long silence,

Zefa forcibly suppressed his inner shock, took a deep breath, and said: "Since you've mastered Observation Haki, it's time I formally begin teaching you Armament Haki."

"I originally thought…"

"You'd need at least several months before even touching Armament Haki. But I never imagined you'd be this much of a monster."

"You mastered Observation Haki in just half an hour!"

He had originally thought…

Even with Lu En's astonishing talent, mastering Observation Haki would still require no less than three months, right?

But the final truth…

Had shattered Zefa's understanding.

Had overturned his previous judgment.

Left him utterly stunned.

Next,

Lu En listened attentively.

And Zefa gradually began explaining the many aspects of Armament Haki.

"As is well known,"

"Armament Haki…"

"Is an extremely terrifying power—and one of the primary keys to becoming strong on this sea! Compared to Observation Haki, Armament Haki is even more important!"

"It is the only technique, aside from Sea Stone, capable of inflicting very heavy damage on a Logia user's element form."

"Once you master Armament Haki, you no longer need to fear a Logia user's element form."

"Moreover…"

"Armament Haki enhances the body's defense, strength, explosive power, destructive force, and more. In other words, attacks infused with Armament Haki unleash destruction far beyond their original power."

Gradually,

Under Zefa's explanation,

Lu En gained a deeper understanding and awareness of Armament Haki.

Instantly,

Zefa demonstrated Armament Haki for Lu En personally.

"This… is Armament Haki."

In an instant, Zefa's wrist turned black, as if clad in a layer of black armor, radiating an icy, chilling aura of pressure.

Like black jade…

Unbreakable!

Full of grandeur

This black armor enveloping Zefa's wrist was naturally the so-called Armament Haki!

A powerful force capable of countering the elementalization of Logia users!

Only by mastering Armament Haki can one be considered to have basic self-preservation ability in this sea.

What about Observation Haki?

Observation Haki is akin to a supporting technique.

Armament Haki, however, is an offensive technique!

The two complement each other.

Only when both are used in tandem can maximum combat power be unleashed.

Of course.

In comparison,

Armament Haki is vastly more important than Observation Haki.

Its cultivation difficulty is also significantly higher.

"Did you see clearly?"

Zefa, having activated Armament Haki, turned his gaze toward Lu En.

"I saw clearly."

Lu En nodded.

"Shall I demonstrate it again?"

Zefa asked.

"I think…"

"It's probably unnecessary."

Lu En shook his head.

Seeing this,

Zefa did not press further and continued: "Under normal circumstances, even a talented cultivator with considerable strength requires at least half a year of training to master Armament Haki."
