Chapter 14 What is a Genius?

"Haki is a kind of will, a kind of mental power. The stronger the will, the stronger the Haki..." the red-haired man explained.

Dick nodded in understanding.

After all, he is a master of domineering, and Red Hair’s explanation is indeed easy to understand.

If it were Karp, he probably wouldn't be able to explain it clearly and would just let you feel it for yourself.

It’s not about getting beaten more often, it’s about practice that makes perfect.

"Now calm down, focus your spirit, and feel the power of your will..."

Dick closed his eyes and felt it silently.

"Beckman, how long do you think it will take for this kid to learn how to be domineering?" Lakilu said while biting a chicken leg.

"have no idea,"

"How about taking a gamble? Since he is Senior Koshiro's most proud disciple," Jesus thought about it, "three months."

"You overestimate it, don't you? Domineering is not something that can be found everywhere." The cool Rem Jones frowned, "Four months."

"Two months."

"I'll bet for half a year."

Everyone placed bets.

"What about you, Beckman?"

Beckman finished his cigarette and blew out the mist from his mouth.

"About 30 days."

Everyone was surprised and looked at each other.

Learning to be domineering in 30 days is more difficult than you can imagine.

You know, even in the current Red Hair Pirates, there are still some people who have not learned the dual-color domineering.

Even though the Straw Hat Pirates were already a Four Emperors-level pirate group, nearly half of their members still did not know how to use Haki.

And now, a little kid learns to be domineering in just one month?

If Beckman hadn't said this, everyone would have laughed at him.

"why?"

"Look at his age,"

Everyone took a closer look and was shocked.

Even if the temperament is mature, even if there is the flame of evolution to promote physical development.

The immaturity on Dick's face could not be concealed.

At best, definitely not over 16 years old.

Being able to travel at the age of 16 and qualified to learn domineering skills, this talent is definitely genius.

And this is the worst-case estimate.

If Dick is under 16, then the younger Dick is, the more terrifying his qualifications are.

The one with the most terrifying talent right now is Big Mom.

The bounty for the 8-year-old lady is as high as 5 million berries.

Everyone was silent. Perhaps this kid could really learn to be domineering within 30 days.

"Oh?" The red-haired man was surprised.

He could feel the awakening of a momentum.

Dick himself is a time traveler, and the combination of the two makes his spiritual will higher than that of ordinary people.

In addition, Dick brainwashes himself every day and firmly believes in the existence of the divine fire, and his will is unconsciously being trained and strengthened.

There is also the improvement of the Flame of Evolution, which continuously improves Dick's qualifications and strengthens Dick's body.

After arduous training, Dick unknowingly found himself only one key away from unlocking his domineering power.

Now, the key arrives.

"That's it." Dick opened his eyes and found his right hand covered by invisible aura.

"You..." The redhead opened his eyes wide.

Just once...

"Hey, am I seeing things?" Lakilu rubbed his eyes. The meat in his hand no longer smelled good.

"I'm not seeing things," Jesus Bu couldn't believe it and even used his sight and hearing color sense.

That momentum, that feeling.

That’s right, it’s Armament Haki.

But, isn’t this too fast?
"Squeak, squeak, squeak," the red-haired boy, the group's only favorite and cadre, Meng Shida, screamed.

It still doesn't even have the ability to be domineering.

Now a human cub can do it just by trying, so what should it do?
"Squeak, squeak, squeak," Mengshida's tail dropped down, weakly.

The banana in my hand no longer smelled good. "Great, you have a great talent," the red-haired man praised.

Although learning Haki does not mean that you are stronger than someone who does not know Armament Haki.

After all, Nico Robin doesn't know Haki, but she still defeated Black Maria of the Flying Six;

Everyone on Nine Snake Island is domineering, and except for the Empress, no one can defeat King Luffy who doesn't know how to be domineering.

Franky doesn't know Haki, but he can still easily defeat the lieutenant admiral of the headquarters who masters two colors of Haki.

But learning Armament Haki is ultimately proof of one's talent.

Prove that the treasure trove of domineering power has officially been opened.

"This is Armament Haki, and the next is Observation Haki. Compared to Armament Haki, Observation Haki places more emphasis on spiritual power, and is far rarer than Armament Haki." The red-haired man continued.

"First of all, you need to stay calm. You can't use your Observation Haki if you're anxious."

"Also, you need to actively trigger your Observation Haki, otherwise it's equivalent to nothing."

Dick emptied his mind and tried to transform his mental strength into invisible ripples.

One minute, 2 minutes.

“…” The red-haired man scratched his head.

He just focuses on introducing the general practice method, not asking you to really practice.

Observation Haki is not only rarer than Armament Haki, but also more difficult to cultivate.

Let me put it this way, if there are 100 masters of Armament Haki, then the number of masters of Observation Haki is at most 5.

The gap is extremely shocking.

"Stop first..."

The invisible wave spread out to about 10 meters with Dick as the center.

Dick's experience was magical, as if he was watching everything within a 10-meter range from a third-party perspective.

Cicadas chirp, breeze blows, and grass sways.

"I learned it," the redhead's mouth twitched.

How long did it take him to learn the dual-color domineering technique?

"Have you learned Haki before?" the red-haired man asked curiously.

"No, Mr. Koshiro just told me to figure it out on my own."

So you really learn it in one go.

The redhead was frustrated.

This is a blow when a genius encounters a stronger genius.

“Got it,” Lakilu’s drumstick dropped.

Jesus Bu could hardly hold the sniper rifle.

As the officer in the Red Hair Pirates who is best at Observation Haki, he has always been proud of his Observation Haki talent.

However, when he first learned Observation Haki, it wasn't this exaggerated.

You can learn it in one go. Is there such a monster in the world?
"Hey, what are you all surprised about?" Luffy looked confused.

What kind of domineering power and willpower Shanks was talking about? Although I don’t understand it, I feel it is powerful.

"Idiot, you don't understand anything at all," Uta tapped Luffy's head.

"So what happened?"

“This…” Uta was speechless.

To be honest, she didn't understand either.

"This, that," Uta stammered.

"It's simple. Dominance is a treasure given by God to life, which allows life to control power beyond the limit." Beckman took a long puff of the cigarette.

"Everyone who can master Haki is a genius, except for the Nine Snake Island."

"Considering his age and learning speed, he is definitely a genius among geniuses. As long as he doesn't fall and become depressed, he will definitely have a place in the future ocean."

"So awesome." BY Luffy, Uta.

"How old are you?" the redhead asked curiously.

"Two and a half months to go, 14 years old."

14 years old. What was I doing when I was 14?

The redhead thought of himself when he was 14 years old.

Yes, working as a handyman on Roger's ship with Buggy.

I have the best teachers, the best opponents, and have seen the most of the world.

Learn to be domineering?

Don’t think too much. Dreams contain all kinds of things. Let’s defeat Buggy first.
