Chapter 99: Beginner Observation Haki!
"Incredible, incredible!"
Inside the cell, two "stitched" masters threw stones at Pirate Ren Arakawa.
Ren Arakawa could basically dodge about half of the stones.
If that were the case, Ren Arakawa wouldn't be so exaggerated.
He was just dodging with his eyes closed!
Observation Haki, in a certain sense, is very similar in effect to the Sharingan.
Don't look at the surface; Pirate Ren Arakawa seems to have only opened his eyes for a month.
But in reality, all four Ren Arakawa were using their eyes with high intensity!
Especially Main God Ren Arakawa.
With his memories synchronized, Pirate Ren Arakawa's body could already perform dodges in the vast majority of situations; this was a subconscious reaction fostered by his Sharingan.
And coupled with the training in Observation Haki, as well as the joint training of Stephen Fang and Uchiha Ren.
Pirate Ren Arakawa had already touched the edge of Observation Haki!
Time was pressing.
More than a week had passed since everyone inexplicably awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Although there was no contact, all the Ren Arakawa understood that Main God Ren Arakawa must have faced immense danger or provocation to activate the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
After all, they were all kings of endurance; ordinary matters didn't bother them at all.
Stephen Fang put down everything at hand and fully dedicated himself to studying Observation Haki.
Uchiha Ren under the waterfall was also the same, and his training speed was much faster than the other two Ren Arakawa.
Because he had a perfect sparring partner!
Under the waterfall, Uchiha Ren stood in the rushing water, his eyes tightly closed, allowing the splashes to hit his body.
Killer B was swinging his stone-wood blades at an astonishing speed, stabbing towards Uchiha Ren!
At first, Uchiha Ren seemed a bit flustered; Killer B's single blade attacks, though simple, were extremely fast, leaving him unable to dodge in time.
Amidst splashing water, Uchiha Ren's body was struck by the wooden blades from time to time, but each hit deepened his muscle memory.
As the training intensified, Killer B increased the difficulty, beginning to simultaneously use four short wooden blades to attack Uchiha Ren from different angles and directions.
These wooden blades carved streaks through the air, forming an almost inescapable net of attacks.
However, Uchiha Ren's body became exceptionally agile under the impact of the waterfall. His ears could detect the sound of the wooden blades cutting through the air, and even with the interference of the water flow, he could distinguish between Killer B's blades and the rushing currents.
Gradually, Uchiha Ren began to adapt to this high-intensity training.
His body seemed to develop an autonomous consciousness; whenever a wooden blade was about to strike him, he could always react at the last moment—sidestepping, leaning back, or ducking his head—cleverly avoiding Killer B's attacks.
Killer B's attacks grew faster and more ferocious, but Uchiha Ren's dodges became increasingly precise and composed!
His body danced beneath the waterfall, as if merging with its currents; each dodge appeared so natural and graceful!
The more Killer B swung his blades, the more astonished he became.
If he had activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and dodged these attacks, it would be one thing.
But Uchiha Ren had his eyes closed!
"Ah! Unbelievable, I object to this! What kind of move is this, I wasn't looking for trouble!"
Uchiha Ren suddenly opened his eyes and confidently declared: "Observation Haki!"
"Synchronization!"
"What is synchronization? Such amazing taijutsu, it's synchronization, not children's trousers!"
---
Main God Ren Arakawa had never felt time flow so slowly.
In a mere hour and a half, it felt as though many days had passed.
His body was covered in deep, bone-exposing wounds; each wound spoke of the battle's brutality.
Half of his face had been sliced off by Freddy's claws, exposing stark white bone and torn muscle; his left Sharingan hung precariously in its socket, liable to drop at any moment due to violent movement.
Behind him, the wings that could originally create distance were broken, leaving only tattered remnants, merely palm-sized feather-like tissues hanging limply behind him, utterly incapable of flight.
As for Ren Arakawa's strongest attack, his Kagune tail, it was also being toyed with by Freddy. But after playing with it for a while and finding it boring, Freddy tossed it away like trash.
"Cough!"
Ren Arakawa coughed out a large mouthful of blood. He struggled to prop himself up, his left hand supporting his eyeball, and even though the pain made him grimace, he stared intently at Freddy.
Seeing the "bug" he had toyed with for over ten days finally about to be tortured to death, Freddy smiled happily~
Ren Arakawa's miserable state was like a microcosm of the entire Central Continent Team.
They hadn't been attacked by Freddy, but they had to constantly guard against Freddy appearing in their minds.
Dream Servants rushed at their faces like suicide bombers. These things weren't strong in offense or defense, but with each Dream Servant's death, the person who killed them would become increasingly exhausted.
Zhang Jie had only eliminated three Dream Servants before almost dying in his dreams at Freddy's hands. If it weren't for a temporary 'burst' from his Gene Lock, this canonical character might have died prematurely in Nightmare Alley.
To cover the retreat of his family and the four Central Continent Team newcomers, Zheng Zha had his chest slashed, and there were two deep bite marks on his neck; he showed no trace of the imposing demeanor of Zheng Pangu.
The Central Continent Team was cornered on the rooftop; they were just a door away from the Dream Servants. Once the door was breached, they couldn't escape the fate of being pushed off the rooftop.
"Heh heh. Heh heh heh heh."
Suddenly, Big Mom in the crowd laughed eerily. Zhao Yingkong was the first to turn her head and raise her gun.
Zhao Yingkong had to guard against Big Mom turning traitor after a mental breakdown, to prevent her from collapsing the entire team.
However, Big Mom wasn't targeting anyone else; she rushed straight towards Yan Wei, who was crouching among the family members.
It wouldn't be like Big Mom to not seek revenge!
To avenge the two deaths from the Alien: Covenant incident.
As life was nearing its end, Big Mom no longer hesitated, rushing forward to grab Yan Wei by the neck.
The two struggled together!
Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan, and Xiaoye Hui, these three 'veterans,' seeing the infighting among their teammates, had no intention of stopping it at all.
Because they all understood that no matter what, everyone would die soon anyway.
Almost everyone in the city was rushing towards them; they had all become lost souls under Freddy's claws. Countless Dream Servants surrounded the entire building, making it impenetrable!
So many of them, in fact, that they formed human ladders beneath the rooftop.
Good news: because there were bodies to cushion the fall below, being pushed off wouldn't be fatal.
Bad news: once you fell, you would instantly be surrounded by a huge crowd of 'people', and even if they did nothing, you would suffocate to death.
Because Zheng Zha was missing an arm, he didn't have the strength to push the door, so Zhao Yingkong set him aside.
Standing at the edge of the rooftop, Zheng Zha looked in the direction of the gigantic Freddy. When he saw Ren Arakawa actually close his eyes and let Freddy attack him...
Zheng Zha gave a bitter smile: "Even you have given up resisting?"
"No, that's not right."
"How did he do that!??"
