Chapter 48

While Aokiji was explaining the functions and differences of the three types of Haki to Senju Hashirama and Gan Fall, the battle between Uchiha Madara and Enel continued.

And their battlefield had unknowingly moved two or three kilometers away from Senju Hashirama and the others.

During the battle, except for the beginning where Enel was beaten quite badly because he didn't understand Armament Haki or Uchiha Madara’s abilities, he quickly adjusted his state.

After all, his Mantra (Observation Haki) was indeed very impressive, and combined with his lightning-like speed, as long as he tried hard not to let Uchiha Madara get close to him, there naturally wouldn't be any problems.

After a round of fighting, both sides stopped temporarily and stood in a standoff.

Uchiha Madara gave Enel an evaluation: "Your strength is just passable!"

For Madara, being able to give such an evaluation was already quite good.

But these words, falling into Enel’s ears, felt like a great insult!

After all, he had always considered himself a god, always looking down on all living beings from above. To have his strength evaluated as merely "passable," how could he endure that?

Consequently, the enraged Enel began to lose it!

Enel shouted, "30 Million Volts, Thunder Bird!"

At the same time, he struck the drums on his right shoulder with his golden staff. Following the sound of a drum—

"Crackle!"

Terrifying electric light emerged from the drums, and then rapidly formed a massive, brilliant, lightning-surrounded giant bird, resembling a phoenix, in front of him!

"Swoosh!"

The thunder bird let out a long cry and suddenly shot through the air, leaving a brilliant silver rainbow in the sky, rushing to Uchiha Madara’s front as if teleporting.

The power of this thunder bird was far too great, so much so that Senju Hashirama, Aokiji, and Gan Fall, who were three kilometers away, felt it and all looked up toward that direction.

Gan Fall naturally knew the terror of this move, and couldn't help but worry for Uchiha Madara.

However, even if he worried now, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't warn Uchiha Madara to dodge because Enel’s speed was simply too fast!

By the time this thought crossed his mind, Uchiha Madara had already been swallowed by the thunder bird!

Senju Hashirama, on the other hand, just glanced over there and then impatiently urged Aokiji: "Come, come, let’s continue!"

Aokiji really doubted whether Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were "plastic brothers," and said, "Aren't you worried about your companion?"

Senju Hashirama smiled nonchalantly and said, "What’s there to worry about? He can't be killed!"

He can't be killed!

This sentence undoubtedly brought a huge shock to Aokiji!

Aokiji immediately wanted to ask: Why can't Uchiha Madara be killed?

However, Senju Hashirama didn't give him that chance, just urging: "Forget about them, hurry up and let me see your Conqueror’s Haki!"

Aokiji could only put this matter aside for now, and then suddenly unleashed his Conqueror’s Haki!

"Boom!"

A powerful sense of oppression suddenly radiated from Aokiji, as if a massive mountain had suddenly descended from the sky with terrifying force!

Instantly, Gan Fall felt the world go black before his eyes, and he almost fainted on the spot!

It was only because he had served as the god of the Sky Kingdom for many years before Enel conquered it that he had some resistance to this, but he still felt extremely uncomfortable.

This was still with Aokiji not targeting him; he was just caught in the aftermath. He found it hard to imagine what kind of pressure Senju Hashirama, who was bearing this pressure head-on, was enduring?

Gan Fall retreated while trying to get away from the center of the pressure, looking at Senju Hashirama with difficulty.

The next moment, his eyes widened sharply.

What did he see?

He actually saw Senju Hashirama with his arms crossed, looking calm and relaxed, and even looking around with interest.

What’s going on?

Why is he completely fine?

Could it be that Aokiji released his Conqueror’s Haki in the wrong direction, only affecting me and not him?

This was the first thought that surged in Gan Fall’s mind.

However, he soon realized he was wrong.

Because Senju Hashirama spoke up: "So this is Conqueror’s Haki? It really is a very powerful oppressive force!"

These words undoubtedly admitted that he was currently enduring Aokiji’s Conqueror’s Haki, yet he really had no reaction!

This isn't scientific!

Not to mention Gan Fall being shocked, Aokiji was even more shocked!

And what shocked them even more was that after Senju Hashirama felt his Conqueror’s Haki, he suddenly fell into a state of deep thought, and immediately after, a similar presence gradually appeared on Senju Hashirama!

Aokiji’s eyes widened sharply: "This... could he be..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the restless aura on Senju Hashirama suddenly erupted!

"Rumble..."

That oppressive aura was like a massive volcano erupting, carrying terrifying power as it swept in all directions, even sweeping across the entire island beneath their feet!

In an instant, the Sky Island shook, and all sides were shocked!

Not far from Conis’s house, in an open space.

Lin Xuan was practicing under the guidance of Master Roshi.

Conis was holding Suu, watching from the side.

And Master Roshi was supervising Lin Xuan with a serious face. If Lin Xuan did anything incorrectly, he would immediately teach him a lesson without mercy.

Clearly, besides the fact that Master Roshi was always strict when teaching, part of the reason was to take the opportunity to get back at Lin Xuan.

However, what surprised him was that Lin Xuan’s progress was simply too fast.

At first, he could pick out Lin Xuan’s flaws, but basically, as soon as he pointed one out, Lin Xuan could correct it immediately.

Later on, he could barely find any flaws, and had to change to new training methods to find a chance to teach Lin Xuan a lesson.

But as a result, Lin Xuan learned more things, and his progress speed was even faster!

Of course, Master Roshi was also somewhat distracted, his gaze scanning toward the central area of the Sky Island from time to time.

Because there were bursts of roaring sounds coming from that direction, and he could feel terrifying energy fluctuations; how could he not know that super-experts were having a great battle there?

Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention to the battle there, because he had great confidence in Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.

It’s just a mere Enel; if Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama couldn't even solve that, how could they help him beat up the Marines later, and how could they help him seize the Sabaody Archipelago?

He just meticulously tried his best to practice according to Master Roshi’s methods.

And it must be said, he really chose the right person with Master Roshi. The methods Master Roshi taught him were indeed effective. Now he felt that the bottleneck he had felt before was rapidly disappearing!

Feeling it was effective, he naturally practiced even harder!

Just as he was practicing hard, a terrifying pressure swept out from the center of the Sky Island without warning, instantly knocking Conis and her pet Suu, who were watching Lin Xuan practice, unconscious. They were about to collapse to the ground!

"Careful!"

Lin Xuan, who was holding a huge rock and doing squats, changed his expression, immediately threw the rock away, flashed, and arrived behind Conis, who was over ten meters away, catching her directly.

And after he steadily caught Conis, the huge rock he threw away crashed to the ground.

Clearly, just from this reaction speed, one could see how much progress Lin Xuan had made in just half a day!

At the same time, Master Roshi’s voice reached his ears: "What is going on?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to have much discomfort under this terrifying pressure, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh internally: This old man really has some skills!

He naturally knew what was going on and explained to Master Roshi: "This is a special power in this world called Conqueror’s Haki, a power that can intimidate others with one’s presence!"

When he said this, his mind was racing: Strange, why does this Conqueror’s Haki have no effect on me at all?

However, he soon thought of the key point: "Could it be that this Conqueror’s Haki wasn't released by Aokiji, but by Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama?!"

As far as he knew, people on this Sky Island shouldn't know Conqueror’s Haki, even Enel.

At first, Lin Xuan thought this Conqueror’s Haki came from Aokiji, but Aokiji’s Conqueror’s Haki clearly wouldn't have no effect on him.

Then, the only remaining possibility was Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara!

After all, according to the system’s introduction, people brought back by his Reanimation Jutsu could not harm him. Only this could explain why he had no reaction.

"I really didn't expect that before I learned Haki, Madara and Hashirama would learn it first!"

Lin Xuan’s mouth curled up: "This is interesting! It seems that when the Ninja War happens later, I’ll have a chance to see Madara and Hashirama use Haki to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki!"

Just then, he felt his practice needed to be paused, and going to see the battle was fine too.

As it happened, Master Roshi also wanted to see the power of this world and had long wanted to go over and take a look.

Plus, practice requires a balance of work and rest, so Lin Xuan and the others sent Conis and Suu back to her house, then immediately rushed toward the battlefield.

After Senju Hashirama released his Conqueror’s Haki just now, he soon realized he seemed to have used too much force.

Looking to his side, Aokiji was dazed, Gan Fall had fainted, and even Enel and Uchiha Madara, who were originally fighting, were startled by his sudden burst of Conqueror’s Haki and had temporarily stopped fighting.

Senju Hashirama quickly withdrew his Haki, then gave everyone a sheepish smile, scratching his head while saying, "Sorry, I seem to have used too much force just now!"

Aokiji: "..."

Uchiha Madara: "..."

Enel: "..."

Seeing the three of them looking bewildered, Senju Hashirama quickly shouted to Uchiha Madara and Enel: "You guys continue fighting, don't mind me!"

However, Uchiha Madara suddenly had no interest in continuing to fight Enel, but instead asked curiously: "Hashirama, what was that just now?"

"Conqueror’s Haki!"

Senju Hashirama replied, then pointed at Aokiji and said, "He taught me!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Madara actually abandoned Enel and flashed to the side of Senju Hashirama and Aokiji.

He said to Senju Hashirama in an irresistible tone: "You, go deal with that Enel guy!"

Then, he said to Aokiji: "You, teach me how to use Conqueror’s Haki too!"

Aokiji: "..."

Can I say I don't know how Senju Hashirama learned Conqueror’s Haki either?

And we are enemies, why should you order me? I don't want to teach you at all, okay!

Senju Hashirama also had opinions about Uchiha Madara’s arrangement, saying: "How about you fight that Enel for a while longer? I still want to try to see if I can learn the other two types of Haki!"

Enel: "..."

Ahhh! These two bastard Blue Sea dwellers actually dare to underestimate this God so much. This God must kill them!
