Chapter 23 The Agitation of Armament Haki (Please read on~)

"That move..." Red was slightly stunned, a little surprised, but a little unbelievable.

He asked uncertainly: "Are you talking about... Armament Haki!?"

"Ah!" Luffy nodded, raised his fist and stared: "I seem to... feel a strange power in my body..."

"I just don't know how to use it like you said, Red!"

"In fact, this feeling has existed since you taught me to headbutt, but it's a little stronger now."

"What did you say!?"

Red stood up suddenly excitedly.

Pokémon moves can also help Luffy practice Armament Haki! ?

Wait!

A flash of inspiration flashed in Red's mind:

"If Armament Haki is really a manifestation of Qi and blood power as I thought..."

"Then the general energy of Pokémon is also a kind of development of physical potential!"

There may be some connection between the two!

"Interesting."

Red's eyes flashed, and he pursed his lips and smiled.

If this guess is true, then he really underestimated the role of the machine before!

By learning general-type moves to master the mobilization of the body, plus the physical strength increase brought by the level increase...

Perhaps with this, he can even let Nami, a partner who is not suitable for close combat, use Armament Haki!

And since Armament Haki can be learned in this way...

Is it possible to practice Observation Haki through perception-type Pokémon moves, such as See Through, See Through, and Heart's Eye...

Or use moves that can strengthen mental power to awaken the partners to Conqueror Haki! ?

"Oh my goodness~"

Red suddenly realized the correct way to use the machine and became serious.

"It seems that in addition to speedrunning, we should also pay attention to other uses of the game world."

He murmured in his heart, then raised his head and praised:

"Good job, Luffy!"

"It's just right, since you have found the opportunity of armed color domineering, then you will be responsible for guiding Zoro's training in the future!"

"No problem, leave it to me with confidence!" Luffy patted his chest and laughed loudly.

Although he didn't know how to teach others...

At this time, Red added:

"Armament Haki is an important ability to travel in the Grand Line!"

"It can not only enhance attack and defense, but also deal with difficult natural fruit ability users."

"If we don't even know Armament Haki, we may be suppressed to death by natural fruit ability users as soon as we enter the Grand Line!"

"I don't know how many ignorant pirates have been buried in the Grand Line."

"I don't want to be one of them."

"You two too, don't underestimate the Grand Line!"

At this point, Red suddenly paused, glanced at Nami with his peripheral vision, and continued thoughtfully:

"For example, the strongest Dragon Pirates in the East China Sea..."

"Huh!?" Nami, who had no interest in the topic of practice, suddenly stopped and looked over with trembling eyes.

Red continued:

"They were just some remnants of the Fishman Pirates, trash that didn't even make it in the New World in the second half of the Grand Line..."

"But now in the East China Sea, they are able to dominate the mountains and make the navy powerless, becoming the local tyrants who oppress humans!"

"It is precisely because of this phenomenon that the East China Sea is called the weakest sea!"

"The trash of the New World, the strongest in the East China Sea?"

"It seems that I have been sitting in a well and looking at the world all these years~"

Zoro quickly heard the meaning of Red's words and laughed at himself softly.

But when he put his hand on the hilt of the knife, endless fighting spirit rose and burned in his body.

He immediately said to Akari in a shocking voice:

"Don't worry, Vice Captain Akari!"

"No matter what the price, I will definitely practice Armament Haki before entering the Grand Line!"

"I don't want to hold our pirate group back!"

Luffy is powerful, Akari has mysterious abilities, and Nami has top-notch navigation skills praised by Akari...

Compared to them, I am just a little famous in the East China Sea, and I am really incompatible with this pirate group!

I am really too weak~!!!

Zoro quietly clenched his fists.

This feeling of loss has really not been experienced for many years.

With a flash of thought, Zoro said to Luffy seriously:

"Luffy, I'll leave it to you next!!!"

"Hehe~ We are partners!"

Luffy patted Zoro's back. Although he had not yet mastered the Armament Haki, he said confidently:

"Leave everything to me!"

"Red!"

At this moment, Nami, who had been silent all the time, spoke at this time, causing Red, who was facing away from her, to raise her eyebrows.

"Can't you help it?"

He sighed in his heart, and then pretended to be nonchalant and looked back.

"What's wrong, Nami?"

"You just... were talking about the Arlong Pirates?"

"That evil dragon pirate group composed of fishmen!?"

Nami's expression was complicated, and she couldn't help but recall what Red had said to her in Shields Town.

"Well, what? You also know about that pirate group!?"

Red asked knowingly.

Although it was a bit cruel, there were some things that he had to let Nami say in person.

First, let her trust Luffy and Zoro, and completely treat everyone as partners who could entrust their lives.

Otherwise, it would be too unfair to Luffy and Zoro who trusted her unilaterally.

Second, let her break through her own heart knot and give up the false hope of exchanging 100 million Baileys for the freedom of the villagers.

Only in this way can she break through and stand up again, and say goodbye to her past self completely!

"I..." Nami choked up at this moment.

Luffy and Zoro, who were still excited, frowned and noticed the abnormal atmosphere.

However, Red stepped forward at this time:

"It seems that you have thought about it, right?"

"...Yeah."

Glittering tears slid down Nami's face, suddenly fell to the ground, and stained the deck.

Nami slowly pulled up the sleeve of her left arm, revealing a purple tattoo pattern.

She sobbed and said:

"I'm sorry, everyone..."

"Actually, I am a member of the Dragon Pirates."

"What!?"

Luffy and Zoro suddenly widened their eyes.

Zoro was about to ask something, but Red suddenly waved his hand to stop him.

Then he continued to speak to Nami in a gentle voice:

"So, is this why you are collecting money everywhere in the sea?"

"...Yeah."

Nami continued to nod.

Red took out a tissue and handed it to Nami, and helped her pull down her sleeve to cover the pattern that disgusted her.

"It's still a long time before we reach the next island."

"Then, Nami, tell me everything you want to say!"

"The reason why you cry, the reason why you suffer, and..."

"What you hope your friends can do for you!"

When he said the last sentence, Akane suddenly emphasized his tone.

Nami looked up and met his eyes full of love and encouragement.

At this moment, for some reason, Nami felt that Akane already knew everything and was just waiting for her to say it herself.

After a few seconds of silence, she took a deep breath and raised her head. She stopped crying firmly and told Luffy and Zoro everything about her and Kokoa Nishi Village's experiences.

Ten minutes later, Nami, who had let out all the pent-up emotions in her heart, held her heart tightly and bowed deeply to the three people in front of Red:

"Please help me!!! Help Kokoa Nishimura!!!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Red suddenly turned his head and looked at Luffy and said:

"What do you mean, Captain?"

"Your navigator is asking you for help?"

"Should we help him?"

"What are you talking about, Red?"

Luffy rarely made a fool of himself and showed a serious expression.

He slowly put his straw hat on his head, then took a deep breath and suddenly shouted loudly to the sky:

"Of course I will --!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The huge decibel, like the wrath of God, shattered the clouds in the sky...

At the same time...it also broke Nami's heart knot!
