Chapter 149: Unwavering Strength
Zhang Da also nodded. This was most likely Jinbe-style modesty. When he said he was not good at this, he probably meant that he could fight with the Four Emperors Big Mom without showing any fear, or even make her suffer a small loss.
So, everyone sat on the ground, the four people and the cat formed a small circle in front of Jinbei, and listened carefully to Teacher Jinbei's lecture.
Jinbei was a little uncomfortable with their seriousness, so he put his fist in front of his mouth and cleared his throat:
"The so-called Haki is the potential power possessed by all humans in the world. Of course, the 'humans' here are a general term that includes giants, dwarfs, fishmen and other races. Haki is like momentum, aura, and deterrence, but most people are not aware of this power, or they are unable to guide it throughout their lives. The Haki that is usually mentioned can be roughly divided into two types: Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Only a very small number of people possess the third type, Haki."
Jinbei told all the information he knew. He was a man of "benevolence and righteousness". He would repay a favor. He could even teach fish-man karate, let alone just a little knowledge about domineering.
"Armament Haki is like an invisible layer of armor. When the armor is strong enough, it can also be used as a weapon to attack. It can do things that are difficult to do with pure strength." Jinbei found two wooden boards. An ordinary punch broke the board in the middle, but a punch with Armament Haki shattered the board.
At this time, Zhang Da also realized what "invisible armor" was. The black effects in the animation were supposed to let the audience know that this move used domineering power, not that the fist would really turn black.
The red special effects when using Ryuo and the lightning special effects when using Conqueror's Color are similar.
None of this is important. The problem is that when talking about how to cultivate Haki, Jinbei's answer is "I don't know."
Because his domineering aura did not appear through training, but he naturally sensed this power in battle, and later gradually learned about domineering aura.
So as to how to guide the Haki in their bodies, the only thing Jinbei can do to help them is to demonstrate the power of Haki a few more times and explain what it feels like to the body when using Haki.
"How is it? Does anyone of you feel anything?" Zhang Da also got nothing himself, so he had to ask others.
Shark Chili spread his hands: "Don't count on me for now. It's already very difficult for me to learn Fishman Karate. I probably don't have Haki, a human-specific power, in my body."
Rui Mengmeng also shook her head and said, "Feeling the power in the body is so abstract. I have no idea how to do it."
Altria didn't say anything, she was still trying something with her eyes closed.
Tom also closed his eyes, supported his chin with his hands, and nodded repeatedly, obviously about to fall asleep.
Zhang Da also looked at Tom, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Jinbei, how about you try to punch Tom with your domineering power?"
Jinbei: O_O
Isn't that your pet? Why are you abusing him?
When Tom nodded again, his arms couldn't support his head and he woke up suddenly. He rubbed his eyes and seemed to have heard something terrible in his daze.
Then Tom saw his master approaching him with a smile, and he discussed with him: "Tom, how about letting Jinbei punch you? Feel the power of Haki and then learn it. I will buy you whatever cat food, dog food, dried fish, and bones you want to eat later."
Tom looked at the fist as big as Jinbei's and shook his head like a rattle. At the same time, he took out a piece of paper from behind him. On it was written a line of words: 'You are abusing animals! '
After showing it, Tom turned the paper over and saw on the back: 'I want a lawyer!'
Zhang Da also threw away the paper in Tom's hand and rubbed his head: "I'm asking you to study, not to abuse you. A lawyer's letter of warning is useless, and a beating won't kill you, why not give it a try~"
Tom still disagreed because he was afraid of pain.
"Why don't you hit me and let me experience it myself? Unfortunately, I'm definitely not as talented as Tom, so I may not be able to learn anything." Zhang Da also added, "Be gentle."
Jinbei was silent for a moment. From what he heard, that cat had the best qualifications?
But since Zhang Daye asked so, Jinbei bent his finger and pointed it at Zhang Daye's forehead: "If you just want to feel the domineering power, this is fine. Get ready."
Boom! Jinbei's finger flicked on Zhang Tatsuya's forehead. I didn't expect that a fishman with webbed hands could perform such a flexible action as flicking his head.
"Wow!" Zhang Da, who was originally sitting cross-legged, suddenly tilted his head back, causing his body to fall onto the deck, lying in a spread-eagle position.
"Boss, are you okay?"
"Boss Tatsuya, how are you?"
"Meow?"
"Ah..." Zhang Da also covered his forehead, "It's okay, don't shout in my ear, my head is buzzing now, it feels like I was hit by a sledgehammer, the kind that hits eighty times."
After a while, Zhang Da also sat up: "Hey~ this thing is really awesome!"
Jinbei asked, "How do you feel?"
"I don't feel anything." Zhang Da also confirmed that his aptitude was not very good and he really couldn't feel any special power. How about persecuting Tom?
"Let me try?" Altria raised one hand. She also wanted to experience this power, which was completely different from magic, for herself.
Jinbei cooperated by punching her palm, though he certainly didn't use his full strength.
Altria frowned, and a silver gauntlet appeared on her hand that covered her forearm. "Can you try this?"
"Of course." Jinbei punched the gauntlet with the same force, making a sound of metal colliding.
Altria dispersed the magic gauntlet and thought: "I always feel that this power called 'Haki' is related to 'heart'."
"Heart?" Jinpei was puzzled.
"Or should I say it's will and belief." Artoria nodded and explained, "When you hit me wearing protective gear, your subconscious thought it was not easy to hurt me, so you could attack with confidence. Therefore, although the second punch was similar in strength to the first punch, the destructive power was different. That should be because the armament color was affected by the 'heart'."
Although she doesn't understand domineering, she has experienced many battles and witnessed various kinds of power. Her rich experience can help her analyze the characteristics of a .
At this time, Jinbei was 34 years old and had only been a pirate for three or four years. He was far less mature than at the beginning of the story. This was the first time he heard such a theory.
"In other words, when other conditions are similar, the more determined a person is in his beliefs, the more powerful his domineering aura will be?" Jinbei suddenly felt as if he had suddenly realized something.
So, who is going to teach whom?
