Chapter 12: First Meeting Kaido, Conqueror's Haki

"Kaido boss, what you're eating is what this kid brought, it seems to be called an Awakening Potion, which is said to clear your mind and restore your mental power." Kuinyin said.

"To be honest, he doesn't even know what mental power is, because the pirate world simply doesn't have such a concept."

"Huh! How to put it! I feel extremely comfortable now, my mind is exceptionally clear, completely without any hangover feeling, and even my Observation Haki has slightly increased, my perception has gotten much stronger." Kaido shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Luode also fell into thought beside him; Kaido said his Observation Haki had slightly increased, which should be the effect of increased mental power.

Secondary Awakening Potions are usually prepared by mage apprentices, and their target users are all magic-based professions.

Of course, paladins, druids, and other professions that possess spiritual magic can also use this potion.

When one's own mana is exhausted, it can quickly replenish mana. In the World of Azeroth, mana is linked to mental power, while in the One Piece world, Observation Haki is a perceptual ability, and Conqueror's Haki is one's own spirit.

These are all mental-related things; in the One Piece world, Observation Haki can also be strengthened through training.

Conqueror's Haki requires raising one's spirit, and this kind of increase is fundamentally an illusory thing.

I don't know if Kaido's Conqueror's Haki has increased.

"Wait! Drink!" Kaido suddenly felt something and let out a sudden roar.

A powerful pressure surged forward; Luode instantly felt his head jolt, his whole body began to tremble, and before his eyes a terrifying monster seemed to appear, as if his life were about to be taken at any moment.

Luode felt his eyelids extremely heavy, his body swaying, but as a warlock, his mental ability was still strong, so he didn't pass out; instead, he immediately took out a bottle of Secondary Awakening Potion and drank it.

And he mobilized the fel energy throughout his body, beginning to form a fel shield to defend against this immense pressure.

This must be Conqueror's Haki! Indeed not simple, and fortunately I am a magic-class profession, my mental power is inherently immensely strong; if it were a warrior or rogue coming instead, they'd instantly be stunned unconscious.

I'm becoming more and more fond of you, Kaido! I must have you, capture you as my mount; in the future, crossing to other worlds, riding this dragon out, even just imagining the form of an Eastern giant dragon is mighty!

But others weren't so lucky; all the little pirates in the room collapsed to the ground, eyes turned white.

"Hey hey hey, Kaido boss, don't recklessly release your Conqueror's Haki like this! This time, nearly everyone near Ghost Island will probably pass out, and maybe even Wano Country will be affected." Kuinyin complained from the side.

Kaido's Conqueror's Haki is indeed strong, but it still can't affect someone of his level.

However, complaining aside, for Luode standing nearby, he wasn't stunned by Kaido's Conqueror's Haki but remained conscious, causing Kuinyin to look at him with new respect.

This kid is impressive; he looks physically weak, but I didn't expect that.

He can actually withstand the boss's Conqueror's Haki! You know, this is Kaido's Conqueror's Haki; ordinary weaklings don't even have the qualification to stand before him.

In this world, the only one whose Conqueror's Haki is slightly stronger than Kaido's is Red-Haired Shanks; even Whitebeard wouldn't dare say his Conqueror's Haki surpasses Kaido's. Could this kid also possess a king's spirit?

"Hahaha! This is great, Kuinyin, do you know? After taking this potion, Kaido's Conqueror's Haki actually increased; I can feel it, clearly feel it."

"Hahaha! If I were to fight Whitebeard now, I would definitely knock that old bastard down." Kaido laughed loudly and said.

"What! Kaido boss, you, you're not joking, are you? You just said your Conqueror's Haki also increased?" Kuinyin instantly opened his mouth wide, face full of disbelief, and said.

What joke? Are you mistaken? In this world, Conqueror's Haki is a recognized hardest-to-increase thing; this is related to one's illusory spirit and self-confidence.

Never heard of any thing or item that can boost Conqueror's Haki, and there isn't even a cultivation method for Conqueror's Haki.

"I never expected this kid to have such a good thing; it actually boosted your Conqueror's Haki, big boss, and also your Observation Haki." Kuinyin said.

"This kid is the one you mentioned, the maker of that green healing stone and the one who just gave me the potion to drink, right?" Kaido looked at Luode and asked.

Being able to withstand one's own Conqueror's Haki is not simple! If I were to be stunned by my own, Kaido would be a bit disappointed.

"That's right, Kaido boss is this kid." Kuinyin said.

"Hahaha! Well done, Kuinyin, you did well this time; this kid is of vital importance to my future plans, having this stone that can heal injuries."

"And this potion that can boost my Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki. I can easily defeat that old bastard Whitebeard, hahahaha! Just thinking about it makes me happy!" Kaido instantly revealed a crazy smile.

He seemed to already see himself fighting Whitebeard, both sides severely wounded, then his injuries instantly healed, and his Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki increased; then Whitebeard would be doomed.

Having something that can instantly heal his own injuries, Kaido's combat power will increase exponentially.

"Boss, this thing this kid made. If you want to use it, the consumption will likely be substantial." The kid said.

"Your life energy is dozens or even hundreds of times that of an ordinary person, so the consumption of healing stones will be even greater; the potion you just drank, you actually drank over twenty bottles." Kuinyin said.

"Ah! Is that so? But being able to boost my Conqueror's Haki is already great; I don't know if it's a permanent increase or just temporary."

"Kaido boss, using a medium-grade healing stone should be enough to fully recover your injuries."

"Medium-grade healing stones, I might need to consume a bit more life energy, but I can still make them now; as for this Secondary Awakening Potion, I will also make it myself, so no need to worry—this Secondary Awakening Potion can restore your mental power, that is, boost your Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki, but the effect will fade after a while." Luode said.
