Battle of Marines Part 3
His sword merged with Armament Haki and clashed against the Flying Slash. This time, it simply disintegrated the entire flying slash into dust.
Seeing this, T-bone’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.
“How can you suddenly produce such a powerful attack?”
He wasn’t a master at Armament Haki so he didn’t know that it was actually the Armament Haki that Zoro used.
But, Yamakaji wasn’t the same. He also saw Zoro crashing the flying slash used by T-bone. He immediately saw through the Haki that Zoro used and shouted.
“T-bone, he is using you to learn Armament Haki. Don’t give him time to release Armament Haki. Attack him with all of your might.”
Hearing that, T-bone was initially shocked but soon he was full of anger. He couldn’t wait to chop Zoro into pieces.
“Damn you, don’t use me as a whetstone!”
T-bone slashed his sword a few times, releasing several flying slashes at Zoro.
Seeing this, Zoro conjured that feeling once again but he quickly closed his eyes and changed his target. Just like Luffy, he couldn’t harden his Armament Haki but it didn’t matter.
He could still use Armament Haki with ease now. So, this time he didn’t attack instead he tried to feel those slashes. After all, T-bone just released several slashes and this was a perfect opportunity to learn Observation Haki.
“Damn it! You are still using me to train your Haki.”
T-bone immediately saw through Zoro’s action this time. His face was turning red in anger. He didn’t hesitate to slash a few more times, releasing nearly dozens of slashes.
“You idiot, don’t use the flying slash.” Seeing this, Yamakaji couldn’t help but burst into anger. He could see that Zoro was using the flying slash as a way to train his Observation Haki.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zoro had already merged Armament Haki into his arm so he was casually swinging his sword and slashing those flying slashes. But unfortunately, his Observation Haki wasn’t as good as Sanji’s.
So, a few slashes managed to cut his skin. Even so, they didn’t manage to kill him.
“Hiss! Damn, this guy is ruthless.” Seeing Zoro covered in blood, T-bone paused his action and cursed. Originally, he hated Zoro for using him as a training partner but seeing just how far Zoro could go just to train his Haki made him speechless.
He felt conflicted for a moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and swung his sword.
“Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! Die!”
From outside, it seemed like T-bone was hellbent on killing Zoro. But some people like Yamakaji, Luffy, Liam, Smoker, and Sanji could see through his action.
He was trying to help Zoro practice Observation Haki. Otherwise, he could simply rush toward Zoro and attacked him from a close distance.
Seeing this, Sanji couldn’t help but look at the opponents he was facing.
“Hey, so why don’t you guys help me train Armament Haki too?”
Because he was already good at using Observation Haki, he didn’t need to train it. But he must train Armament Haki at any cost.
“You bastard!” The commodore’s face turned red in embarrassment. He couldn’t help but feel speechless at T-bone’s action.
They were enemies but T-bone was actually helping his enemy.
But then again, he was still amazed by Zoro’s strong Will to train Observation Haki by putting his life on the line.
There are two ways to train Haki.
First, you can simply get a teacher who would explain you and slowly teach you everything. Although you might need to fight you won’t need to risk your life that much.
Second, go through several life-and-death situations to slowly awaken the dormant Haki inside of you. This is a ruthless practice method but it also helps you awaken Haki faster than the first method.
Of course, there is a third method. You can ask something to explain to you how to train Haki first then go through life-and-death situations in order to awaken it even faster.
Because if you know about Haki, you will understand how to awaken it in the battle much faster than unconsciously awakening it.
Zoro was using the third method. He already knew how to awaken Observation Haki and Armament Haki. So, he was using the second method together with the first method to force out his Haki.
But, Sanji had a difficult time doing that. It’s not that he didn’t want to get beaten. He had already learned Observation Haki. What he wanted was Armament Haki.
But whenever he tries to feed his Haki into his muscles, he finds something else awakening rather than his Haki. This was quite disturbing for him.
Even though he didn’t think that he would awaken his cyborg-like body. He was trying to awaken Armament Haki, not other kinds of power.
After thinking for a while, Sanji finally decided to give up. He realized that if he keeps on focusing on releasing Haki, he might not be able to concentrate on this battle.
“In that case, I might simply accept this new kind of power.”
Sanji muttered to himself and the next moment, he spun his body. The energy that was stored inside his body started coming out. His spinning force was so fast that it created a powerful spark in that energy.
Focusing that energy on his feet, he managed to conjure flames out of his foot.
[Diable Jambe]
“Fire? How can he conjure flame out of his feet?” The commodores fighting him stopped for a moment and stared at him in shock.
“This flame is all of my passion burning out for the battle. I poured all of my passion for ladies, cooking, and rivalry to conjure the flames of the devil.”
Sanji smiles and the next moment, his body dashed toward three Commodores. He slides his body and kicks the one in the middle with his flaming foot.
[Diable Mutton Shot]
[Iron Body]
Bang!
The commodore instantly uses Iron Body to block the attack but he underestimated the power of Sanji’s kick. Not only it broke his chest but also burned his muscles.
Of course, he didn’t stop there. Sanji quickly puts his hands on the ground and started spinning. The flames spiraled around him and smashed the remaining two Commodores.
[Flying Pizza Shot]
Bang! Bang!
Those two also use Iron Body but couldn’t block his attack. Both of them fell on the shores and Sanji slowly stops. The flames on his foot also disappear.
“It’s pity I can’t use Armament Haki. But, this kind of power isn’t that bad either.” Sanji muttered to himself.
“Sanji-kun, help!” Suddenly, a cry came from afar. He turned around and saw Vivi, Chopper, and Usopp being overwhelmed by several Captains.
There were a lot of marine soldiers. Previously, Robin was using her ability to quickly end the battle but now she wasn’t with them.
Robin had left Chopper, Vivi, and Usopp alone to fight against Hina so they were easily overwhelmed.
“Vivi-chan, your prince is here.”
Sanji spoke and the next moment, he used Shave to appear next to one of the Captain.
He spun and kicks the captain on his neck, flying him toward the shore.
Bang!
Sanji no longer cared about other Captains instead he turned around. His eyes turned into the shape of a heart as his legs changed into a whirlwind.
“How was that Vivi-chan? Did you like it?”
Bang!
Zoro who was fighting against T-bone sensed a strange feeling and turned around. When he saw Sanji acting like an idiot, he slashed T-bone’s attack into pieces and shouted.
“That lustful cook!”
Sanji who was trying to impress Vivi suddenly sensed gunpowder and turned his eyes to Zoro. For a moment, blue lightning flashed between their eyes.
“Damn it! How did he defeat those guys so easily?” Hina who was just a Captain felt worse. Those commodores were supposed to be stronger than her but they were defeated even before she could defeat Nami and Robin.
Originally, she almost defeated Nami but Robin came just in time and helped Nami. Her ability was quite troublesome even if she wasn’t that powerful.
“No, it can’t go on like this. We will lose. What is Vice-Admiral Yamakaji doing? Why can’t he defeat Straw Hat?”
Hina felt even more frustrated because of Yamakaji. After all, as a Vice Admiral, he should be able to defeat Straw Hat but he was still playing against Luffy.
“No, he is going to win.”
When Hina saw Yamakaji combining his sword with Armament Haki and slashing Luffy on his chest, she immediately thought that this battle was won by the Marines.
“Liam!”
But suddenly, Luffy shouted from his position while launching a Jet Bazooka at Yamakaji
Bang!
The sword and the palm collided. Although that sword was covered with Haki, it didn’t manage to cut Luffy’s hand. It only left a scar but at the same time, Luffy managed to push Yamakaji away.
On the other side,
Liam who was simply waiting for Luffy’s call instantly took out iron gloves. He stared at Smoker and said.
“Let’s end this!”
