BUZZ
At that moment, Dai Yuhao realized that one of the splinters from the palm tree that had exploded into pieces due to his blow was heading toward him. As if he had foreseen it in advance, Dai Yuhao turned his face to the side, causing the splinter to graze his cheek lightly.
"Observation Haki," Dai Yuhao muttered. At that moment, the black armor on his right arm began to disappear. The next instant, Dai Yuhao felt exhaustion wash over him. He walked to the top of the fallen tree and picked up one of the coconuts.
Dai Yuhao gritted his teeth as he felt the outer shell of the coconut. The next moment, the purple soul ring flashed again, and Armament Haki covered his arm once more.
Seeing this, he took advantage of the situation, extended his index finger, and pierced the coconut with ease. The moment he withdrew his finger from the coconut, the Armament Haki disappeared again.
At that moment, Dai Yuhao trudged over to a nearby palm tree and sat down in the shade.
"I'm still weak. Maintaining Armament Haki and Observation Haki for a long time is extremely difficult in my current state." Dai Yuhao thought as he began to drink the coconut water. "I have to become stronger!"
That's right, after obtaining the first soul ring, Dai Yuhao immediately acquired two of the three types of Haki, namely Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
The blow that shattered the palm tree earlier was achieved with Armament Haki. The effect of this Armament Haki was to cover the body with a layer of armor, making it almost indestructible! But Dai Yuhao knew that Armament Haki was not limited to that; there were four stages that he knew of.
Hardening: hardening parts of the body. When this is done, that area turns black and metallic in appearance, making the user stronger and denser, and giving their attacks more power.
Imbuing: when the user's Armament Haki is strong enough, by touching an object, they can imbue it with their own Haki, greatly increasing its power and resistance.
Emission: When Armament Haki is sufficiently advanced, it can be emitted at a certain distance from the user's body without the need for a medium. This attack can generate a shockwave that destroys everything in its path.
Internal Destruction: The highest point of Armament Haki. Haki is emitted inside a target, flowing and destroying everything inside the object.
As for Observation Haki, its function is similar to that of radar. Within a certain range, everything is clearly visible, and if one is talented, one can also perceive the emotions of others.
Some people who have practiced Observation Haki to the fullest can even hear the thoughts of others, hear the voices of all things, and foresee the future.
Finally, there is Conqueror's Haki, the most special of all. It is similar to the coercion of a powerful being, but even more dominant. Once unleashed, it can terrify all living beings, leaving them with no chance of resistance. It is a necessary skill to eliminate the enemy and demonstrate the aura of a king. That is why it is called Conqueror's Haki!
But that is only its basic use; after all, there is still Conqueror's Haki at its peak.
Interweaving or infusion: a very small number of Conqueror's Haki users, considered by Kaido to be the strongest, are able to "infuse" their Conqueror's Haki, similar to Armament Haki, greatly increasing the power of their physical attacks. After coating themselves (or their weapons) with Conqueror's Haki, it is emitted invisibly, so that any resulting attack appears to strike without making contact.
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason that Dai Yuhao does not understand, he never awakened Conqueror's Haki. Perhaps he lacked the aura of a king? Or perhaps the soul ring did not provide it? He does not know, so he only awakened Armament Haki and Observation Haki, and it is unknown if he will ever have the opportunity to awaken Conqueror's Haki.
But he is still happy, as just by possessing these two abilities and with enough training, he can achieve terrifying strength in this world.
...
In conclusion, after obtaining his first spirit ring, Dai Yuhao directly awakened two types of Haki, which could be considered his spiritual abilities.
Dai Yuhao stopped drinking the coconut water and lay down on the sand. At that moment, his martial soul had already disappeared, and as he looked up at the blue sky, he immersed himself in his thoughts again.
His martial soul has advantages and disadvantages.
By adding spirit rings, his martial soul, the mermaid princess Shirahoshi, will not grant him unique spiritual abilities. In other words, regardless of the spirit rings he obtains in the future, the spirit of the mermaid princess will no longer possess other spiritual abilities. At most, will enhance both types of Haki.
Therefore, the function of the spirit ring, in addition to allowing him to improve, increase his physical and spiritual strength, and increase the power of his dominant aura, can no longer provide him with any spiritual abilities.
Dai Yuhao naturally knew all this after careful observation. To be honest, he was a little disappointed. After all, those strange and dazzling spiritual abilities were still very tempting.
But he shouldn't be too greedy. In his opinion, as he had mentioned before, Armament Haki and Observation Haki alone, if used well, would be enough to dominate the Douluo Continent, or at least he should be able to defend himself. Although he was a little disappointed, he knew that he possessed the White Tiger Martial Spirit, so this initial disappointment disappeared.
In addition to Haki, the world of One Piece has numerous offensive techniques that he should be able to emulate. For example, the famous Six Styles of the Navy, which with some training he will easily master with practice. In short, he has no shortage of offensive options.
"So, for the time being, I will stay on this small island to adapt to the changes in my martial spirit. I will also practice the Six Naval Styles. Once I have some self-defense power and capital to sail the seas, I will begin to travel across the planet Douluo." Dai Yuhao reflected silently, thinking that before becoming the only True King of the Douluo Continent, he should at least know this vast world, and his conquest should begin by becoming the King of the Sea!
"I want to be the King of the Sea!"
[The Strongest King System in the Multiverse]
Name: Dai Yuhao
Cultivation: Soul Master Level 15
Martial Soul: Mermaid Princess (First Purple Soul Ring)
Martial Soul: Abyssal White Tiger (no soul ring attached)
Main Quest: Become the only king under the heavens! — With the royal blood of two great empires, you naturally deserve to be the ruler of the world.
[Quest Reward: Unlock the function of traveling the world! ]
"Level 15, not bad," Dai Yuhao thought as he looked at his level and nodded his head. Absorbing a thousand-year-old soul ring could raise him five levels, which was considered very good.
"Then another reward is coming," Dai Yuhao suddenly thought.
At that moment, remembering, Dai Yuhao muttered in his heart, "System, receive the Devil Fruit!"
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Devil Fruit from the world of One Piece: the Logia-type Devil Fruit: the Thunder Fruit!
When the system notification sounded, a fruit appeared out of nowhere in the void, floating gently downward.
Seeing this, Dai Yuhao unconsciously reached out to grab it, looking at the strange fruit in front of him, recalled the information about this fruit in the original book.
The Logia-type Devil Fruit: the Thunder Fruit!
This Devil Fruit, present in One Piece, the Goro Goro no mi, is considered one of the most powerful Devil Fruits and the strongest Logia. As one of nature's most destructive forces, the Thunder Fruit is truly terrifying, as it allows the consumer to produce, transform, and manipulate electricity at will. In addition, the electrical potential can be regulated at the consumer's will, producing up to 200,000,000 volts. The consumer can also travel at lightning speed (up to 200,000 km/s in perfect conditions), allowing them to reach distant places in a short time. If I remember correctly, enhances the Observation Haki through electric waves, a true terror among the Devil Fruits.
Thinking about it, Dai Yuhao felt so ecstatic that he jumped up and grabbed the Devil Fruit tightly, marveling at it. But at that moment, he remembered something that discouraged him.
"Well, devil fruits are fine, but this weakness of fearing seawater and sea stone..." Dai Yuhao frowned in disappointment. He was at sea. Furthermore, his Martial Soul could command sea beasts, so he would inevitably have to deal with the ocean in the future. How could he afford such a serious weakness?
Ding! Reminder: This fruit has no side effects and is an optimized and upgraded version. Don't worry about the side effects of seawater after taking it, so use it freely.
At that moment, the mechanical sound of the system sounded like the sound of nature to Dai Yuhao's ears.
At that moment, Dai Yuhao began to carefully observe the devil fruit in his hand and discovered that the upgraded and optimized devil fruit was different. Its texture was unique and seemed to emit light from top to bottom. It even gave off an attractive fruity fragrance.
"Enhanced? Is that true? The system is too considerate, right?" Looking at the system message, Dai Yuhao, without hesitation and with hunger gnawing at his stomach, finally grabbed the fragrant devil fruit tightly and took a bite.
SQUISH
After taking a bite, Dai Yuhao felt sweet nectar spread throughout his mouth. At that moment, upon tasting that flavor, Dai Yuhao discovered that not only did the devil fruit no longer have the flaw of fearing seawater, but even the flavor that was described as shit in the original book had been transformed into a common fruity flavor, with a hint of watermelon.
Immediately, hungry and greedy, he swallowed the devil fruit in just a few bites.
A strange sensation invaded his entire body!
Dai Yuhao closed his eyes involuntarily, silently feeling the euphoria of his soul ascending to the heavens.
CRACKLE
ZzzZIzzZii
A few seconds later, Dai Yuhao opened his eyes suddenly, whith his ocean-blue eyes shining with electric sparks. At that moment, numerous electric currents ran through his body, crackling and hissing.
"The Thunder Fruit... as expected of a lodge, it's truly terrifying! Or rather, no devil fruit is simple. Developed to its fullest, challenge everything!" he muttered to himself, looking at the electric currents crackling on his arm. In the original novel, this devil fruit appeared early on, so many internet users agreed that it was being wasted
If this devil fruit had appeared later, its user would undoubtedly be at the Yonko level or, at the very least, the Admiral level.
Dai Yuhao extended his index finger toward the sea.
CRACKLE
ZIZIZIZ
Dai Yuhao used all his strength and accumulated a large amount of lightning in his fingers. The moment he felt he could no longer accumulate any more, he prepared to launch the attack.
SQUEAL
ZIZIZIZ
BOOM
The electric thread reached the sea at a terrifying speed, causing a small column of water to splash after the impact
The electric currents spread a few centimeters until they finally disappeared.
"Incredible," Dai Yuhao muttered despite his exhaustion as he watched his attack hit the sea.
