19: Chapter 19 Uncle Ape's Popular Science TipsThe news of the Akainu fleet's defeat and withdrawal from the New World, which was ambushed by numerous pirates in the New World, has been spread around the world by the News Bird, causing widespread panic.
Upon seeing the news, Akainu immediately burned the newspaper and said viciously, "Morgans, do you have a death wish?How dare you publish such a smear campaign against the Navy.Was that a retreat?It was merely a strategic withdrawal.When we go to the New World next time, I'll show those pirates what cruelty is."
Not satisfied with his words, Akainu retaliated by throwing several large flamethrowers into the empty sea ahead before calming down and beginning to seriously consider the suspicious points of this ambush.
After thinking for a long time, Akainu realized that in this ambush, all four Yonko crews sent their vice-presidents to lead the operation.Moreover, as if they had planned it, each crew was only responsible for their own area, and their attack methods were similar.They were only meant to destroy the Navy's warships and kill weak soldiers, so that they would eventually be forced to withdraw from the New World due to a lack of manpower and reinforcements.
"It seems these royal crews aren't just acting out of spite, retaliating against the Navy's last operation to capture New World pirates.It's almost certain that it was a planned attack by those four damned emperors, and their only goal is to drive us out of the New World.They don't want to go to war with the Navy, but they still want to save face.These pirate emperors have really played their cards well," Akainu muttered to himself with a gloomy face.
Actually, the four pirate emperors hadn't planned this operation beforehand; they just wanted to give the Navy a beating.The coincidence was that each of them sent their first mates, whose intelligence and rationality were both at their peak.
The meeting of these Royal Navy vice-presidents was not as tense as one might expect.Instead, it was Beckman of the Red-Haired Pirates who spearheaded this drama of the Navy's defeat in the New World.Moreover, Newsbird was also in contact with them, using threats and inducements to semi-coerce Morgans into publishing this article.
The purpose of doing this was because they all understood that if they attacked the Akainu fleet haphazardly, there would only be two outcomes: either total annihilation or mutual destruction.Such an outcome would only lead to a full-scale war between their pirate crew and the Navy.
But even if the four Yonko crews couldn't all unite, and even if they were to go to war, the Navy still had the World Government's support.Even the mighty Rocks Pirates were defeated by these two forces; how much better off could they possibly be?
Therefore, the best approach is to defeat the Navy and then manipulate public opinion to smear them.This will maximize the satisfaction of your captain and prevent them from mentioning attacking the Navy again.It will also keep the Navy busy dealing with public panic and prevent them from provoking the pirates of the New World.
On the Navy side, Sengoku received a reprimand from the Five Elders.After much persuasion and assurances that he would appease the public as quickly as possible and resolve the matter in the shortest possible time, Sengoku finally had the Five Elders hang up the Den Den Mushi.
After putting the Den Den Mushi back in its place, Sengoku began to think about what to do.After a while, he waved his hand and gave several orders.
He ordered Morgans of the news agency to delete the article and also made him publish another one, which stated that the Navy was not defeated and forced to withdraw from the New World, but rather that the enemy's firepower was too strong, so they temporarily avoided the enemy's attack and waited for support.At the same time, the Navy would send Admiral Aokiji to guard the entrance to the New World, protect the stability of the four seas, and prevent any pirates from breaking through the pass.
If Akainu and Aokiji were to switch positions, Akainu would definitely want to retaliate against the New World pirates because of this incident.Letting Aokiji, who is guarding the Red Line, switch positions with him would allow him to calm down.
Release the list of pirates previously captured by Kizaru, and at the same time strengthen patrols across the four seas so that the public knows the strength of the Navy.
These three orders quickly took effect.Although the public still had some doubts, things had stabilized.Akainu was also forced to calm down, and the balance between the New World and the Navy was basically restored.
Meanwhile, on the Golden Island, Luffy and Kizaru were unaware of what was happening below, as the Newsbirds couldn't fly that high.
(Before explaining Kizaru's origins, I'd like to clarify something.People in the comments section often ask if Garp has Conqueror's Haki.In this book, he does, though some might say the original work didn't mention that.)
It's possible he might have it in the original work, since Conqueror's Haki is clearly hereditary in the Monkey family; Dragon and Luffy both have it, so it wouldn't make sense for Garp, the top dog, not to.It's just that the time hasn't come yet for him to show it.After all, even Buggy became one of the Four Emperors, so who can say for sure?
After seeing that Luffy had basically mastered the energy particle counterattack, Kizaru said, "You have done a very good job in the current stage of training, and your control over the fruit's energy has become stable."
I've mastered two of the six techniques, which is basically enough.If you want to learn more, I'll tell you the method later.If you want to practice, then practice on your own.The next task is to cultivate domineering aura.
Everyone with a certain level of strength in the New World possesses Haki, but they only grasp the basics.Only those who truly cultivate Haki to an advanced level can be considered significant figures.I'm saying this to make you understand that Haki is just as important as Devil Fruit abilities; both must be trained to become truly strong.
After saying all that, Kizaru still felt a little unsatisfied, so he cleared his throat and continued:
"Let me explain further: if you've only mastered your Devil Fruit abilities to the extreme but your Haki is only superficial, then you can only be considered first-rate in this world."
If you've mastered Haki (referring to both types of Haki) to its peak, but lack a Devil Fruit ability, you'll always fall short of the absolute top.Only those who have mastered both Haki and Devil Fruit abilities to their fullest potential can be considered the world's best.
Even a powerful figure like the Pirate King Roger wasn't stronger than Rocks before him or Whitebeard now.Roger became the Pirate King simply because he went to the final destination.Therefore, don't let Roger's achievements fool you.They mistook his title for the strongest.
After Kizaru finished speaking, he paused, thought for a moment, and then continued:
"Of course, those with Conqueror's Haki are a different story.The entanglement of Conqueror's Haki is actually similar to, or even stronger than, a Devil Fruit ability.One can reach the top by mastering all three types of Haki, but it is very difficult."
Furthermore, if Luffy possesses Conqueror's Haki, then you're incredibly lucky, because you'll have the chance to become the strongest in the world.If you master all three types of Haki and your Devil Fruit ability, you'll be invincible.
Why do I think you have Conqueror's Haki?Because dragons have it, and there's a high probability that Conqueror's Haki can be passed on to their offspring.
Of course, the strongest is just a legend.It exists in a legend from eight hundred years ago.Nika, the ruler of the Kingdom of Gods at that time, was such a person.His strength was invincible, and the Kingdom of Gods flourished because of his existence.But for some unknown reason, he suddenly disappeared one day, and the Kingdom of Gods collapsed with him.
After that, there was nothing more about the Kingdom of God and Nika.The current World Government is extremely secretive about these things; only a very few exceptionally powerful individuals know even a little bit about them.So, keep these legends to yourself, but don't spread them around.
Wang Lufei was shocked after hearing this and hurriedly replied, "Understood, Uncle Yuan.I won't tell anyone."
He knew about the three types of Haki, but he didn't expect it to be so complex, with the strongest legend even connected to Nika.The World Government had blocked the news, yet these powerful individuals still managed to find clues; that was truly impressive.
