Chapter 72: Mastering Observation Haki

—Bang!!!

The ground exploded, and the terrifying shockwave swept in all directions.

Siano flashed, barely dodging Dory's giant sword.

But he was hit hard by the side of the battle axe, flying out like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the giant bones in the distance, instantly piercing through the entire bone.

"Hiss—!"

In the smoke and dust, Siano struggled to climb up, his expression changed slightly, and he turned his head and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Did it shake my internal organs..."

Feeling the slightly chaotic aura in his body, he raised his eyebrows and immediately adjusted his breathing rhythm.

Interesting.

Clearly, they didn't use Haki, but this shockwave, when it hit the body, caused violent vibrations inside and outside the human body, having a similar effect to Armament Haki's "internal destruction."

Is this the Elbaf Spear?

Siano looked back at the ground where he had just been.

There was no grass growing there, and two huge, wide gullies extended for hundreds of meters, heart-stopping.

This was the "Elbaf Spear" that Brogy and Dory had just slashed out.

Compared to the ultimate combination technique "Hakkoku," which requires two people to work together to unleash.

The "Ikoku" slashed out individually, while inferior in lethality and destructive range.

But there is no doubt that it is also an extremely domineering and terrifying move. Even Big Mom, after becoming an Emperor, still likes to use this move she learned in Elbaf back then.

"Are you okay, Siano?"

Dory's voice came.

"I'm fine! Keep up this intensity!"

Siano laughed loudly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with extremely excited light—

"Come again!!!"

Time passed, and the sun gradually sank.

Thump, thump, thump!

The open space between the two giant bones had been shaking from morning until now.

As dusk fell, Siano didn't know how many times he had dodged, or how many times he had been knocked flying.

Under the continuous offensive of the two great giants like a storm.

Even with his strong physique, he was now covered in bruises, blood was seeping from the corners of his mouth, and his breathing was as heavy as an old bellows.

However.

His spirit was becoming more and more excited, and his movements were becoming smoother.

"Hey, Brogy, you noticed it, right." Dory narrowed his eyes, "Siano's evasion speed..."

Brogy also noticed the anomaly: "Clearly his physical state has been getting worse, but he's dodging more easily?"

Siano didn't reply.

His world was becoming different.

At first, he could only rely on his naked eye to capture the giant's movement trajectory, and then rely on the body's evasion instinct given by Paper Art, combined with "Shave" to dodge.

But gradually, he no longer relied on vision.

Even with his eyes closed, he could "hear" the sound of Dory's shoulder muscles tightening, could "smell" the wind pressure brought by Brogy's battle axe swinging, and could even "feel" every subtle vibration coming from the ground—

Thereby predicting their next move.

"This is..."

His heartbeat was getting slower, and his breathing was getting steadier.

"Observation Haki!"

—Hum!

When Dory's giant sword slashed down again, Siano's closed eyes suddenly opened.

In his pupils, a clearly visible crimson light flashed!

He didn't use "Shave," just took a small step forward, the evasion range being much smaller than any of the previous times.

But the sword blade and the battle axe slashed down on the left and right, grazing his clothes, not missing by a fraction.

In the instant the two weapons slashed across quickly, he had actually found the only gap between them to dodge!

"Oh?"

Blue Ogre Dory's eyes lit up.

"Gahahahaha..."

Red Ogre Brogy also grinned, "Did it work?"

"It worked!"

Siano nodded with a smile, Observation Haki spreading like ripples. With a slight sensing, all movements within a radius of hundreds of meters were clearly distinguishable.

The most wonderful thing is that these sounds were not disorganized.

Under the sorting of Observation Haki, they seemed to automatically construct a three-dimensional map in his mind.

The trajectory of sweat dripping under Dory's bronze helmet;

The shape of every notch on Brogy's battle axe;

Even the path of dust dancing in the air...

As long as you feel it carefully, you can know it all.

"Gahahahaha! Amazing, Siano!"

Brogy slapped Siano on the back, almost slapping him into the dirt, "Mastering Observation Haki in just one day, much faster than Dory and I back then. Your talent is truly terrifying!"

"It's not talent."

Siano shook his head with a laugh, being honest, "I've been exploring it myself for a long time. What I lacked was this breakthrough catalyst. If it weren't for the two uncles' all-out cooperation in special training, relying on myself alone, who knows when I would have mastered Observation Haki."

"That also requires you to be tough enough to take a beating!"

Dory stroked his long beard and marveled, "Humans generally can't have your strength of physique. If you weren't about the same height as ordinary humans, I would have suspected whether you also have the blood of the giant race."

Giants are like this, straightforward, saying whatever comes to mind.

He was praising Siano from the bottom of his heart, completely unaware that this sounded like arrogance, which would make humans feel uncomfortable.

Truly amazing!

Brogy also sighed. Such a little guy, actually able to withstand the joint attack of himself and Dory for a whole day?

Even in Elbaf village, the physique and physical strength of most adult warriors aren't this amazing, right?

"Two uncles."

Siano suddenly said again: "Those giant race stunts you used today, such as the Elbaf Spear... can I learn them too?"

Perhaps feeling that this request was indeed a bit excessive, he hurriedly added:

"If Elbaf has rules that these moves cannot be passed on, you can just refuse directly, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Eh?"

Dory and Brogy were stunned at the same time.

The two looked at each other, their expressions changing from surprise to weirdness, and finally—

"Gahahahaha!!!"

The earth-shattering laughter startled the birds in the forest, and even the ground trembled.

"Siano, you're overthinking it!"

Dory finally stopped laughing and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "In Elbaf, combat techniques have never been a secret!"

"That's right! There's no such inexplicable rule!" Brogy also said, "We laughed because no outsider has ever taken the initiative to say they want to learn this!"

Dory nodded and sat cross-legged in front of Siano, revealing a rare, serious expression:

"The Elbaf Spear is not for show. For beginners, every time it is performed, it will cause a huge burden on the body."

He pointed to his scarred arm, "In Elbaf, many adult giants cannot withstand the backlash, let alone a little guy like you."
