"It's started, it's started!!!"
"How long do you think Ronan can last this time?"
"Last time it was one minute, this time...it should be at least one and a half minutes."
"Two minutes, I guess."
"Want to place another bet, Mina-san?"
"...Don't make me slap you, Petermoo!"
Perhaps because they were too bored, a group of rough guys on Roger's pirate ship were enthusiastically joining in the fun, watching a battle that was about to begin.
Ronan was wearing a shrunken black military uniform that he had found somewhere, with a black gun on his back. He was looking at the figure opposite him with full vigilance.
His long black hair fluttered in the wind, and his resolute face, though young, was still handsome.
That face has a unique beauty similar to that of the Uchiha family.
Standing opposite him was a middle-aged blond man. Although he was just standing there casually, he still put a lot of pressure on Ronan.
"As expected of Dark King Rayleigh, just by looking at his stance, you can tell that this guy is terrifyingly strong."
Ronan understood that there was no powerful person in the world of One Piece who did not become strong through fighting. Blindly practicing was the only way for low-level pirates to improve.
And he, Ronan,
The main point is stubbornness!
If you are afraid of pain, you shouldn't be a pirate!
Seeing that Rayleigh did not move, Ronan simply did not wait any longer. In the confused eyes of Buggy and Shanks, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.
"Huh? Disappeared in an instant?"
"When did Ronan eat the devil fruit?"
They knew about the fraud conspiracy between Ronan and Uncle Petermoo, and they also knew that the treasure Captain Roger lost in the bet was actually a devil fruit.
But when Ronan divided the spoils, he did not ask for money, but only took the devil fruit.
According to Captain Rayleigh, the fruit's name seems to be...
Teleportation fruit?
"Not really!"
Before he knew it, Captain Roger had come up behind Shanks and Buggy, and touched their heads with his big hands. He said with a smile, "You should have seen it before. Ronan is using the Navy Six-Type."
"Why!!??"
Shanks and Buggy opened their mouths wide in disbelief.
They certainly knew about Rokushiki, an advanced application of Taijutsu, or a preschool version of Haki, but the key issue was...
This is one of the representative skills of naval officers. How could Ronan learn it at the age of nine?
Sure enough, when they looked at the battlefield again, Ronan had suddenly appeared behind Rayleigh and kicked him in the kidneys.
Shakky, don't blame me!
But when he was about to kick, Ronan suddenly retracted his foot for some reason and quickly moved away from the opponent.
Rayleigh slowly turned around and looked at Ronan, whose eyes were full of solemnity, with a sly smile on his face.
"Why did you stop halfway?"
Ronan looked at Rayleigh, who had a wicked grin on his face and looked like a weird uncle, with a bad look on his face. He curled his lips and said, "Nothing. I just feel like if I kick him, something bad will happen."
actually,
Just at that moment, he vaguely saw his leg broken.
With the attitude of preferring to believe it, Ronan took the initiative to retract his legs and tried to find the feeling just now.
"If your Observation Haki is too developed, it will sometimes hinder your development, young man!"
Rayleigh smiled and said, then appeared in front of Ronan almost instantly.
What?!
Ronan's Observation Haki emergency warning!
Observation and hearing color: There is an enemy!
Brain: React quickly!
Body: 666, come over here and react? Kami-e!
This is one of Ronan's shortcomings. His overly powerful Observation Haki gives Ronan a natural perspective of a strong man, or a God's perspective.
But this still cannot change his nature as a little kid, his body cannot keep up with the reaction, the difference between the two is his disadvantage,
This has nothing to do with talent, it can only be honed through constant battles, thus possessing monster-like combat reactions and instincts.
In this way, you can control more advanced power.
For example, domineering.
To translate it, fighting more and getting beaten more is the best quick tutorial for learning Armament Haki.
Ronan's naturally strong physical fitness can only help shorten this process, but cannot skip it.
Therefore, when facing Rayleigh's sudden attack, Ronan quickly realized that he could not dodge it at all, so he would rather stand at attention and take the beating.
So he decisively chose to use this opportunity to hone himself, and immediately he became ruthless.
Using the beggar version of Armament Haki that I had just learned recently -
"Iron Body!!!"
I don't believe I can't even block a kick.
…
…
"Ronan, you finally woke up!"
"Fuck..."
Ronan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two young men standing beside the bed. It only took him two and a half seconds to realize what was going on.
Uncle Rayleigh kicked me to sleep again.
Should we say that Rayleigh's kicks are just strong, or is it that being coaxed to sleep is the passive effect of this crappy skill?
If I use Iron Body again, I will be a dog.
Ronan swore secretly in his heart.
"Hey! Ronan, are you really okay?"
Seeing Ronan get up and get out of bed, Buggy and Shanks said with concern,
After all, they saw clearly that after Ronan fainted, the black and purple Armament Haki on the feet of Vice Captain Rayleigh was so strong that even Captain Roger was sweating coldly and asked Rayleigh if he had hit him too hard.
Although Ronan was a monster, he would have to lie down for a few days after being kicked so hard. They couldn't imagine how Ronan managed to survive.
Furthermore, as Ronan's good brothers, they were also worried about his health problems.
This guy Ronan... is really too reckless.
But Ronan, who was at the center of the incident, obviously didn't take it seriously. Instead, he stretched his muscles.
"It's okay. I slept for a long time, not a whole day."
Ronan was like nothing happened, and only took a breath of cold air when he touched his chest.
It hurts so much!
Shanks and Buggy saw his expression and thought that his wound had relapsed or something, so they quickly supported him.
"Don't be so stubborn, Ronan!"
"Yeah, if you're injured, just rest up, asshole!"
Ronan bared his teeth, unbuttoned his chest, looked at his dark chest, and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Hey? Ronan, when did you master Armament Haki?"
When Shanks saw this scene, he opened his mouth wide and shouted in shock, with an incredible look in his eyes.
Buggy was furious at his reaction and cursed, "Are you an idiot? It's clearly a bruise!"
"Oh...hahahahaha, I see!" Shanks realized it belatedly and laughed, "So I was seeing things."
"You bastards are so infuriating!"
Buggy just can't stand this about Shanks. He often fails to understand what others are saying and always watches him get angry calmly.
At this time, Ronan would usually laugh and watch the show. After they finished arguing, he would put his arms around their necks and cleverly change the subject.
"Don't be angry, Buggy, let's go eat together."
"Tsk... Then I'll give Ronan a favor, but it's not because of you, Shanks!"
"Okay...I understand."
