Chapter 159 - Chapter 159: Luffy's Breakthrough, Observation Killing!

🤗 Please if you find any incorrect names let me know in comments so I can fix them 

[Bartholomew Kuma: "This is truly a battle where you live or die...!"]

[Trafalgar Law: "Indeed! The Navy wants to put on a good show in front of the Five Elders, and we Straw Hat Pirates are fighting for survival. Both sides are directly aiming for each other's lives!"]

[Vinsmoke Sanji: "Over there, we can actually fight against the entire Marine Headquarters...!!!"]

[Usopp: "And CP0 and Kong too!"]

[Nami: "So strong!!! When can we reach such power...?"]

[Nico Robin: "But what are they doing now? The Navy has a huge advantage, not only did they send out four Admirals, but they also have six Vice Admirals..."]

[Tony Tony Chopper: "Wahh, wahh, wahh... We won't die at Marine Headquarters, will we...?"]

[Silvers Rayleigh: "In that case, the 'me' over there will also come to an end~"]

[Shanks: "Now you know? That's the consequence of liking to stir up trouble!"]

[Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha!!!"]

[The battle between the two sides immediately entered a white-hot stage...!!!]

["Sulong, Buggy, don't even think about dragging this out. Go all out!"]

[Luffy, while constantly parrying the continuous attacks of Kong and Sakazuki, shouted loudly~]

[His strength is certainly great, but at the same time, facing Kong and Sakazuki is pretty much his limit!!!]

[This is also taking advantage of Kong's age!]

[If it were Kong in his prime, plus the current Sakazuki, Luffy would definitely be crushed!]

[Luffy's battle is like being trapped in a swamp, he can't fend for himself, unable to find a breakthrough~]

[So he can only hope that Sulong or Buggy break through quickly on their side...]

[If either Sulong or Buggy can completely defeat their opponent, or make their opponent lose their ability to act, then the Straw Hat Pirates might have a chance of winning!]

[Otherwise, the chance of victory is basically zero!!!]

["Thirty Wheels Bloom - Flapping Foot!!!"]

[Watching the Navy Rear Admirals and Vice Admirals charge at them, Nico Robin crossed her arms and activated her Hana Hana no Mi ability...]

[Swish, swish, swish!!!!]

[Long, slender legs sprouted from the ground in front of her, forming a neat row, a full thirty of them!!!]

[These legs simultaneously bent, then fiercely kicked out!!!]

[Thump, thump, thump, thump...!]

[!!!!]

[Streaks of violent kicking shockwaves condensed in an instant, then exploded towards the Navy in front of them with the momentum of a galloping horse and lightning!!!]

["What is this!?"]

[Facing so many flapping foot shockwaves, the Navy Rear Admirals looked quite miserable~]

[Swish, swish, swish!!!]

[The Vice Admirals almost reflexively made a move, parrying these flapping foot shockwaves~]

[But then, the second wave followed immediately...]

[Just parried, and the third wave came again...]

[... ]

["Rear Admirals, hold them back! Vice Admirals, go to the front to support!" At this moment, Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke~]

[Although her heart was also in turmoil at this moment, she would not be careless about the Five Elders' orders!!!]

[Kuzan, Borsalino, Sakazuki, Sengoku, Garp, and others immediately jumped out of this area being bombarded by the flapping foot shockwaves, bypassing the frontline battlefield to break through!]

[The remaining Rear Admirals, lacking that strength, could only endure the bombardment of these flapping foot shockwaves!!!]

["Troublesome!! Those guys are coming over!"]

[Nami saw this scene, her small face filled with anxious emotions.]

[She was constantly using "Clima-Tact: Slippery Fatigue" on Robin's side. Once she left Robin, Robin's flapping foot shockwaves wouldn't be maintainable for long. At that time, those Navy Rear Admirals would rush over, making things even more troublesome for the Straw Hat Pirates!!!]

[Of course... Just the current situation alone seems to be beyond salvation~]

["Straw Hat Luffy!! Give up!! You have no chance at all! Voluntarily surrender your life, and your companions can receive a lighter punishment!!"]

[Kong continuously attacked Luffy while launching a psychological attack~]

[Although this method is cliché, it does indeed make people feel annoyed...]

["You immortal! Go back and lie to your mom!"]

[Luffy punched away Sakazuki's attack, then flashed to the side, his body covered in Armament Haki!]

[In Luffy's perception, he had never actively surrendered this matter!!!]

[Any temptation or favorable condition offered by the enemy is untrustworthy!!!]

[Luffy would never believe that if he gave up resisting, his companions would live...]

[On the contrary, even if he wanted his companions to live, Luffy would do it his own way!!!]

[As early as 15 years old, Luffy had already awakened his Conqueror's Haki!!!]

[But is the awakening of Nika's form the end of the Gum-Gum Fruit's development...?]

[No! Absolutely not!!!]

[Just as a person's dreams never stop, the end of the Devil Fruit's development is also constantly extending...]

[Luffy is now 17 years old. In these two years since awakening his Devil Fruit, Luffy has never wasted any time!!!]

[Regarding the development of the Devil Fruit, he had endured immense hardship, but he never stopped!!!]

[In those few months of training on Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy burst out with a new ability during his awakening, but Luffy is unwilling to use it unless absolutely necessary!!!]

[Because after using it, Luffy will enter a period of extreme weakness for an entire day!!!]

[And the conclusion Luffy came to after his own analysis is... this ability is very strong, but it should consume a lot of life force!!!]

[Which means...]

[In the current situation, if Sulong and Buggy can't open a path on their side, Luffy is prepared to fight to the death, not sparing his own life to create one last path for his companions~]

[Luffy knows very well that even if he shouts himself hoarse now, they won't listen~]

[Only when they reach that truly desperate situation, will his companions, who value their hard-won 'lives', listen and leave...]

["Before my Observation Haki, all your attacks will be rendered ineffective!"]

[Kong coldly snorted, just about to dodge, but then stopped abruptly...]

["Hmm???" Originally, in his Observation Haki, Luffy's attack trajectory suddenly disappeared completely!]

["Not good!!!"]

[He secretly cried out in his heart, Kong was just about to dodge...]

["Bang!!"]

[Luffy's punch, wrapped in Armament Haki, slammed squarely into his face!]

[Kong's head snapped back violently, directly turning a full circle...]

["Fleet Admiral!!!"]

[Sakazuki cried out in alarm, then immediately blasted fire, forcing Luffy back~]

["What happened??? My Observation Haki...!!!???"]

[Kong slowly got up from the ground, touching the swelling on his cheekbone, his eyes filled with disbelief~]

[Just now, he had already predicted Luffy's attack trajectory, but suddenly, Luffy seemed to disappear from his Observation Haki!]

[Although it was visible to the naked eye, his Observation Haki couldn't sense Luffy's presence!!!]

[Kong's first reaction was that his own Observation Haki had a problem...]

[... ]

[However, the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened: "Could it be...??? No! Impossible!!! You're only a few years old, your Conqueror's Haki couldn't possibly reach that level!!!"]

[At this time, after Sakazuki exchanged a punch with Luffy, he was directly sent flying by Luffy's kick~]

[Bang!!]

[Sakazuki was knocked into a wall, then stabilized himself, also looking utterly astonished: "What happened?"]

[Compared to Kong and Sakazuki's expressions of bewilderment, Luffy's face instead showed a look of sudden realization~]

["So that's what's going on..."]

[Luffy looked at his own fists, then at Kong and Sakazuki, saying, "By adjusting my own breathing, I can prevent you two from accurately predicting my attack trajectory, or even predicting it at all!!!"]

[Just now, in the battle with Kong and Sakazuki, the three of them fought for hundreds of rounds in a short time. Luffy occasionally noticed that the two opponents' predictions of his attacks were very accurate, but sometimes their predictions were slightly off, yet they could still block them!!!]

[Luffy felt very puzzled when he discovered this problem!!!]

[Then, in the subsequent battles, he constantly tried and experimented...]

[Finally, in the two clear attempts just now, he got the affirmative answer!]

[That is, as long as he adjusts his breathing, he can make it impossible for the opponent to accurately predict his attack trajectory!!!]

[In other words, the opponent's Observation Haki temporarily fails on him!!!]

["Observation Killing!!"]

[Kong's face instantly turned grim: "At your age, you've actually cultivated Conqueror's Haki to that level!?"]

[Eustass Kid: "Observation Killing? What's that...?"]

[Trafalgar Law: "I've only heard of Observation Haki. This is the first time I've heard of Observation Killing~"]

[X. Drake: "So... what exactly is this?"]

[Sengoku: "That's something only those who possess Conqueror's Haki know how to cultivate!!"]

[Jewelry Bonney: "Huh? The threshold is that high?! Then we who don't have Conqueror's Haki aren't even qualified to think about it...!!!"]

[Eustass Kid: "Fortunately, I have Conqueror's Haki, I just don't know how to cultivate this thing~"]

[Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha!! Kid, don't think too much. Eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep. Don't think about cultivating this kind of thing~"]

Please send flowers...

[Donquixote Doflamingo: "Why? Is this very difficult to cultivate?"] As a possessor of Conqueror's Haki, Doflamingo was also very interested in this ability!

[Shanks: "Possessing Conqueror's Haki only means you have the qualification to cultivate Observation Killing, but... there's a second threshold too!!"]

[Boa Hancock: "Another threshold???"]

[Shanks: "The second threshold is to cultivate your Conqueror's Haki to its peak, and only then can you come into contact with Observation Killing~"]

Oh!!!

Upon hearing Shanks' authoritative explanation, those who possessed Conqueror's Haki all spat out a mouthful of old groove Holy cow

What the hell!!!

We, who are lucky enough to possess Conqueror's Haki, are already rare, one in a million. And then we have to cultivate Conqueror's Haki to its peak... This is like selecting the phoenix among phoenixes!!! You might as well just not have this thing at all!!!

And then you set the conditions so harshly... Aren't you playing with our feelings!!!

Ahhhhhh...!!!

[Charlotte Katakuri: "Captain Shanks, have you cultivated Observation Killing?"] As someone who has honed Observation Haki to its extreme, Katakuri was very concerned about this question.

Shanks: "Hmm, yes."

Hearing Shanks' reply, Katakuri slapped his forehead immediately~

Damn it, I've been walking the wrong path...

...

I should have known to focus on Conqueror's Haki!!!

But then again... Conqueror's Haki isn't like Armament Haki or Observation Haki, which have clear cultivation methods~

Even if Katakuri focused on cultivating Conqueror's Haki, he might not necessarily achieve anything...

[Shiki: "Shanks' Conqueror's Haki has actually been cultivated to this extent? Is it stronger than Roger's Conqueror's Haki?"]

[Gol D. Roger: "In the realm of Conqueror's Haki cultivation, little Shanks should currently be the strongest!!! This is the result of his talent and effort!!!"]

[Shiki: "Nani? Roger, then if you were to duel Shanks, wouldn't you be at a great disadvantage???"]

Shanks: "How could I duel Captain? Besides... Captain is someone who can hear the Voice of All Things. Observation Killing has no effect on him at all..."

...

[Capone Bege: "Voice of All Things??? What's that???"]

[Eustass Kid: "To become the Pirate King, he truly possesses qualities that ordinary people don't!! It's an eye-opener!!"]

[Dasie: "Heh heh heh!! Are you guys having a lecture? Why are new terms popping up one after another!!!"]

[Jewelry Bonney: "If you guys keep talking like this, we'll seem very ignorant..."]

[Trafalgar Law: "If it weren't for the viewing system, I guess we wouldn't know this much knowledge in our entire lives~"]

[Gol D. Roger: "Huh? Wait a minute!! Shouldn't I take this opportunity to popularize the cultivation methods of Armament Haki and Observation Haki to everyone??? This way, even commoners living in remote areas can cultivate Haki!!"]

[Sengoku: "Hey! Roger, what do you want to do!!!!"]

[Gol D. Roger: "Don't worry, Sengoku. I just want to let everyone in the world have the ability to protect themselves..."]

[Kong: "Damn it! This matter isn't up to you to decide!! As long as a country becomes a World Government affiliated nation, its citizens will naturally be guaranteed safety!!!"]

[Shiki: "Hahahahaha!!! What are you two old farts so nervous about??? Are you really that afraid of everyone in the world being able to cultivate Haki???"]

[Tsuru: "If everyone cultivates Haki, then it means everyone can possess powerful weapons. At that time, various incidents of harm will endlessly emerge!!! Roger, if you reveal the cultivation methods of Haki, can you bear this responsibility?"]

[Gol D. Roger: "What kind of nonsense is this...? Do incidents of harm not happen just because commoners don't have self-defense capabilities? Just now, whether in the white-framed video or the red-framed video, aren't these things still happening often?"]

[Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahaha!!! Roger, even though I want to kill you right now, your idea isn't bad!!!"]

Exactly opposite to Roger's thoughts, Rocks felt that only when the entire populace began cultivating Haki could he find more suitable teammates.

[Gol D. Roger: "Rocks, I forgot to ask you, where have you been revived to?"]

[Rocks D. Xebec: "You fool, do you think I'd be like you and publicly announce my revival location??? Idiot!!!"]

[Shiki: "You bastard, you probably haven't done anything good. As soon as you revived, you've already started messing things up!"]

[Rocks D. Xebec: "Heh heh!! Anyone I set my eyes on, just wait and see!!!"]
