Chapter 207

"Demon Slayer, the name fits perfectly! — Amitabha, well done, well done!"

Listening to Sengoku chant 'Amitabha' on the left and 'well done, well done' on the right.

Sima Di was amused too.

Wasn't this inexplicable sense of humor a little too funny?

He glanced at Luffy and Garp, who were fighting again, and was happy to just stand here shooting his mouth off and slacking off.

"That's right, this is a Haki Martial Art move I created myself, I call it 'Wu Gong'!" Sima Di raised an eyebrow and said: "The highest realm of Armament Haki is Flowing Sakura, that is, the flow of Armament Haki."

"But what about inside the body?"

"If the Armament Haki within the meridians circulates along a specific route, it can achieve a body-tempering effect, far surpassing ordinary physical training."

"And if the Haki is circulated along a specific route and stimulated, it will produce different amplification effects."

"This is Wu Gong! A cultivation system created solely by me in the entire World of Pirates!"

Sima Di's voice was very loud, with no intention of concealing it at all.

It caused many high-end combatants who had Observation Haki active to all involuntarily look over.

That enormous Buddha palm just now...

Was actually not a Devil Fruit ability, but a move powered by Armament Haki?

This......

Isn't it a little too outrageous?

If it really is like this......

Everyone vaguely realized that it seemed a new era was about to arrive!

This era is called—the Era of Haki!

Or rather, the Era of Armament Haki!

If Armament Haki could also unleash the bizarre and varied abilities of Devil Fruits, its destructive power would far surpass Devil Fruit abilities, and there wouldn't be any side effects......

Who wouldn't love that?

Only......

Was Sima Di really that kind-hearted?

He chuckled.

The mastery of the "Haki Cultivation Method" was extremely difficult,

Even the Straw Hat Pirates, who had the method directly infused into them, found learning it time-consuming and laborious.

Developing it themselves?

They didn't have the Word Spirit ability or Dragon Essence Language, nor did they have "Wu Xia novels" to enlighten them, they could only rely on time to slowly try and err.

That initial version......

The cultivation progress would be absolutely heartbreaking!

If the Cultivation Technique was already like this, then Wu Gong was even more so.

Without going berserk a thousand eight hundred times, don't even think about getting started.

With that time and effort, it would be better to pump some more iron.

Sengoku also realized there must be more to it, and immediately prepared to probe deeper.

"This is just your one-sided story, I'm afraid it's the ability of the Word Spirit Fruit in disguise, meant to waste the energy of the World Government and the Marines, right! — Amitabha, well done, well done!"

This goading tactic was too clumsy.

But Sima Di had a sudden idea—digging a pit for the Marines and the World Government was also a good choice!

After all......

To research Haki Martial Arts, you fundamentally need people who have Haki to do the research, right?

And they also need a certain talent for physical combat, preferably a physical combat genius.

Just moving one's lips,

One could waste the physical combat geniuses of the World Government and the Marines—this deal was worth it.

Therefore,

Sima Di pretended to be angry and said: "How is that possible? This is a cross-era invention! Armament Haki is different from Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki, it is a power originating from the body, and also the fairest power, as long as one diligently trains, there is a chance to awaken it!"

"Once Armament Haki is awakened, the amplification speed of physical training will greatly decrease, but in the end it still increases the physique, thereby allowing the body to have more power to tap into."

"If you don't believe it......"

"Nami! Show them your Golden Buddha Imperishable Body!"

Nami looked at Sima Di with a bewildered face.

Such important intelligence, was it really going to be leaked?

Mind Link!

Sima Di: 【"I'm stringing them along."】

Nami suddenly understood!

That's right,

How could someone as smart as Di possibly fall for such a clumsy goading tactic?

Immediately raising her hand,

She condensed a bolt of purple lightning, striking Smoker not far away, shocking him into a tremor and unable to dodge in time, before being punched away by Chopper.

Those present were no ordinary people,

Under Observation Haki, they all clearly perceived that the Armament Haki contained within that purple lightning was only slightly above beginner level, not even intermediate.

It actually mastered the external release of Armament Haki that should only be possible with advanced Armament Haki?

"Look!" Lord Sima said proudly: "This is the martial art I custom-made for Nami. Paired with her Rumble-Rumble Fruit, even a beginner-level Armament Haki can be released outward to wound enemies. Amazing, right?"

"It really is amazing—Amitabha, well done, well done!" Sengoku laughed.

After all, he's still too young!

Just a tiny little goading trick, and he exposed such a huge trump card?

Wu Gong......

It seems this great sea is truly about to welcome a new era!

"So...... so strong! This concubine truly loves it!" Hancock appeared not far from Lord Sima at some unknown moment, her eyes shining as she said: "I never expected that what our Amazon Kingdom has discovered over the past century, Your Majesty has already developed to such a profound level! This concubine truly admires you!"

Lord Sima looked at Hancock, whose eyes were shooting heart shapes, and was a bit baffled.

No......

Aren't you supposed to be very proud and aloof?

How could you be in this little fangirl mode?

Just because......

He invented Wu Gong?

"Bo Ya??? Han??? Jiong?????? Yi??? Yi????????? Yi??? ≥???????????????? Cha??? Zi Yan??? Qian??? Yu??? Zheng......"

"Perfume Femur!"

No one had expected,

Hancock would actually kick straight at Sengoku. Sengoku, who knew Hancock's Devil Fruit ability well, did not choose to take it head-on; he exploded backward and dodged Hancock's long leg.

"Hancock! Are you trying to rebel? —Amitabha, well done, well done!" Sengoku roared angrily.

"Hmph!" Hancock exaggeratedly raised her head, aimed her nostrils at Sengoku, and said proudly: "This concubine is the most beautiful woman! Why should what she does be bound by some status?"

Sengoku: (▼へ▼メ)

Lord Sima: "???"

Ah, this......

What got into Hancock?

"I say......" Lord Sima said carefully: "Hancock, you......"

"Hee~" Hancock instantly switched to heart-eyes and said in a lovesick daze: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Your Majesty?

Only then did Lord Sima notice this form of address......

Something's off!

Lord Sima had already sensed the death glares Vivi and Robin were shooting his way.

Robin, who had been using her Flower-Flower Fruit to provide support, even spread her wings and flew over.
