Chapter 25: Kaido Teacher, Online Teaching Me the Three-Color Haki

At this moment, the other Beasts Pirates members who had retreated below the orbit also felt this strong Conqueror's Haki.

"A strange Conqueror's Haki, the aura is coming from the direction of Ghost Island, it must be that kid!" Kuinyin said.

"Hmm! There are only three people up there: Kaido boss's Conqueror's Haki, and Young Master Yamato's Conqueror's Haki; we all know, this strange Conqueror's Haki must be that kid's." Flame Disaster Ash said.

"He actually awakened Conqueror's Haki at this time; this newcomer might just fill the last spot of our Sky Six Sons." Black Maria opened her folding fan, covering half her face as she spoke.

"Want to go up and take a look?" Drought Disaster Jack said.

"No need, Kaido boss is up there; there won't be any problems." Flame Disaster Ash said.

He had absolute trust in Kaido's strength.

On Ghost Island, after releasing the Conqueror's Haki, Luode was also bewildered at this moment; he truly hadn't expected that a conversation with the Beasts Kaido would actually grant him Conqueror's Haki.

But the key isn't that; the key is that I'm not even a person of this world—could I also have Conqueror's Haki?

In the world of One Piece, Conqueror's Haki is a kind of strong will, or rather, the quality to become a king.

This ability cannot be improved through training; only when one's own will changes does Conqueror's Haki increase accordingly.

Don't be fooled by how common it seems in the anime; in the real pirate world, Conqueror's Haki is extremely rare.

Only one in several million possesses it, and among those who have made a big name in the world, most possess this power.

You may be strong, but not necessarily possess Conqueror's Haki; however, the absolute top tier are definitely its possessors, at least the strength boost from being surrounded by Conqueror's Haki is truly enormous.

But speaking of royal quality, does a king have to be born that way? Some are born kings, but others become kings through later effort.

Before crossing over, Luode's hometown had an old saying: "Nobles and generals—where do they come from?"

Some are born with the quality of a king, but others attain kingship later.

Although Luode came from another world, in this world he subdued Kaido, thereby raising his own will, which caused his Conqueror's Haki to awaken.

In that case, I can also train the three-color Haki.

"Hahaha! I've started to have a little hope for you; maybe in ten years you'll really be able to beat me." Kaido also sat up, looking at Luode as he spoke.

Geez! How am I supposed to talk to my subordinates later? Your boss, I just got taken care of, now I'm someone else's lackey.

Damn it, he can't say that kind of thing as Beasts Kaido; otherwise, let's just disappear with this kid, making his subordinates think Beasts Kaido went missing.

"Kaido, for the next period of time, please spare some time to teach me Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki." Luode said. Beasts Kaido is undoubtedly one of the strongest Haki users in the One Piece world; that classic saying, "Only Haki is everything," suffices to show how formidable Kaido's mastery of Haki is.

Only a master of the three-color Haki is a true teacher.

"I got it, kid; if you want to learn, I'll teach you." Kaido curled his lip as he spoke.

"I thought you'd say, does this stuff even need teaching? You just go out and fight, and you'll naturally learn it." Luode looked at Kaido and said.

"Tch! Indeed there is such a method, but that would make you take many detours; back when I was interning in the Rocks Pirates."

"But I received quite orthodox Haki training; the person who trained me was that old man Whitebeard." Kaido said.

Gaining Haki through self-realization is also a path, but if someone teaches you, you'll undoubtedly avoid many detours.

"Hmm! I need to study magic every morning and evening; from now on, at noon and afternoon each day, you teach me how to use the three-color Haki." Luode said.

"I got it, hey kid, can we discuss something?" Kaido said, somewhat hesitantly.

"Got it, Kaido! Go gather your subordinates! From now on, in name you'll still be the great overseer of the Beasts Pirates, and in front of outsiders I'll still call you Kaido boss." Luode said. Given Beasts Kaido's pride, having him admit in front of all his subordinates that he is my master is obviously unacceptable to him, and his crew wouldn't accept it either, so let's just let things take their natural course! Anyway, controlling Beasts Kaido equals controlling the whole Beasts Pirates, and later when we go to the Azeroth World, those Beasts Pirates members unaware of the situation will also be easier to manipulate.

Even if this bunch gets captured and someone probes their minds or souls, they'll only get one answer: their boss is Beasts Kaido, not me Luode.

"Hahaha! That puts my mind at ease, kid; from now on, privately I'll obey your orders, boo-hoo! If Jin and Kuinyin find out, I'll be utterly embarrassed to have been schemed into becoming someone else's subordinate, boo-hoo!" After saying that, Kaido actually burst into loud sobs.

"Damn! You and that tough-guy image just now are way too different, huh? 'Kaido, follow me from now on, and the benefits are huge—let alone a measly Wano Country, I could even send you a planet in the future, you won't think this world is just this sea, right?'" Luode chuckled as he spoke.

"Uh! What do you mean by that?"

"The stories I told you before are all true; Titans really exist.

I didn't mean to deceive you; this world has many planets, and I am from another planet.

You can understand it as another world; in the future I'll take you to see different worlds and let you gain their powers." Luode said.

"Haha, if you say that, it's too interesting." Kaido said.

An endless, boundless world? That would also mean countless strongers! That's what makes it interesting!

"Alright Kaido, I'm giving you your first mission: there's an artificial Devil Fruit with Doflamingo the Heavenly Yaksha, made by Vegapunk, and I want to obtain that artificial Devil Fruit." Luode said.

Luode's next goal is that artificial Devil Fruit made by Vegapunk, a Devil Fruit produced using Kaido's bloodline factor.
