Chapter 29: Cultivating Haki, Kaido's Compatibility with the Warrior Profession

However, this is not the time for Luode to think about so many things, after all, the fel magic techniques haven't been mastered yet! I have just obtained some high-level felagic techniques from the Burning Legion, and I need to practice them more diligently.

Furthermore, the days ahead are already filled with what I need to cultivate: first, the three types of Haki from the One Piece world, and also Devil Fruit abilities.

In the short term, I cannot study spirit communication or shadow-type magic; what I lack most is time.

「Kid! You've grasped the essence of Observation Haki pretty well, and your control of Conqueror's Haki is also fine.

As for Armament Haki, you still need to keep training; you haven't even reached the beginner level yet! 」Kaido said.

Regarding Luode's progress in mastering Observation Haki, Kaido was quite satisfied; this kid's comprehension speed is extremely fast, even surprising him, one of the Four Emperors.

His grasp of Conqueror's Haki is also decent, but the only thing that dissatisfies Kaido greatly is his Armament Haki.

「Observation Haki is actually just a form of mental energy, and Conqueror's Haki is the same; these two powers aren't too difficult for me to cultivate. 」Luode said.

The reason Luode's Observation Haki and Armament Haki progress so quickly is thanks to his strong mental energy; after all, he's a spellcaster, and manipulating mental energy is his forte.

Luode can now use Observation Haki proficiently; even with his eyes closed, he can sense some of his opponent's attacks.

As for Conqueror's Haki, after Kaido gave him a little guidance a few times, Luode also mastered it; he can now make an initial release, rather than an unconscious one.

The next step in training is to further control his Conqueror's Haki, enabling him to intimidate enemies according to Luode's will, and distinguish friend from foe.

「Conqueror's Haki, in our world, cannot be strengthened through cultivation; it can only boost one's aura, and I can only teach you how to control Conqueror's Haki.

As for Observation Haki, you need to train yourself; fighting more in the future will help your Haki cultivation. As for Armament Haki, keep trying! 」Kaido said.

Kaido has been teaching Armament Haki for over ten days, yet this kid hasn't grasped anything at all.

Compared to his progress in learning Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki, the difference is simply huge.

「I will practice this twice as hard. 」Luode said.

Luode is originally a spellcaster profession; Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki are related to mental power, so he learns them naturally quickly.

This Armament Haki corresponds to a warrior's training method, so it's naturally slower to learn.

If a top-tier warrior, a paladin from the Azeroth world, came to the One Piece world, he would surely master Armament Haki quickly, since it belongs to melee combat techniques—but I'm a spellcaster!

What the hell, do you expect me, a spellcaster, to engage in melee combat with people? Then why did I bring your daughter and Runti?

「Do as you please; anyway, I can only teach you as best I can. 」After saying that, Kaido took out a jug of wine and started drinking it, gulping.

「Kaido, besides fel energy, in my world there is another energy you can control, and also a highly advanced combat technique; I think it would suit you very well. 」Luode said.

Kaido's physical strength is extremely strong, and his Armament Haki has been cultivated to the top level.

If such talent were to learn the Way of the Warrior, Kaido would surely go far; although warriors are a dime a dozen in the Azeroth world, that doesn't mean there are no experts among them—know that the first-generation paladins were actually top-tier warriors who transferred professions, having received the infusion of Holy Light.

A strong warrior can release his own rage and use certain specific skills.

Whirlwind Slash, Blade Storm, Execute, Mortal Strike, Bloodthirst, Deadly Blow, Enrage, Reckless Blow, Cleave, Charge, Storm Hammer, and even Avatar—these are combat techniques that only warriors can master.

With Kaido's monstrous physique, as long as he learns the Way of the Warrior, his combat power will further increase, certainly not by any less than the boost from fel energy.

「Is it your world's special power? 」Kaido also became interested and asked.

「That's right, it's a melee combat technique; this profession is called Warrior, and one can master an energy called Rage.

This is a power developed from one's own body, similar to your Armament Haki.

However, because the worlds differ, if you want to learn it, you must go to our world. 」Luode said.

After gaining the ability to traverse worlds, Luode vaguely guessed that he wanted to learn the unique powers of other worlds.

Then you must master it in this world to be able to use it in another world; if you only know one cultivation method in another world, you won't be able to learn this power.

For example, after awakening Conqueror's Haki in the One Piece world, I can still cultivate Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

Luode previously conducted an experiment; when he first arrived in the One Piece world, he exchanged a Devil Fruit with Huangjin Desuoluo, which was that Animal-type Giraffe Fruit.

After this fruit followed him to the Azeroth world, it immediately turned into a strange fruit.

The fruit still retained some appearance of a Devil Fruit, but it lost that mysterious pattern.

It is just a strange fruit that does not rot.

Luode then guessed that if he ate a Devil Fruit in the Azeroth world, there was a high chance he would not gain Devil Fruit abilities.

After crossing over to the pirate world again, that Devil Fruit returned to its original appearance.

Thus Luode drew a conclusion: eating a Devil Fruit in the Azeroth world would not grant Devil Fruit abilities, but after eating one in the pirate world, one should normally gain Devil Fruit abilities.

「You say that, and I actually become interested; increasing strength has always been what I'm most enthusiastic about.

Another world's combat techniques, I'm already somewhat impatient; kid, when do we set out? 」Kaido asked.

「Don't rush, Kaido; after that artificial Devil Fruit is delivered, I'll eat it and then train for a while.

We'll then head to the Azeroth world; I'll find you a top-tier warrior instructor to teach you the Way of the Warrior. 」Luode said.

While the two were talking, a pirate came to report that Yan'zai Jin had returned, and the artificial Devil Fruit that Luode needed had also been retrieved.
