Holy Land Marie Gioia.
This is where the Celestial Dragons live, and it is also the seat of the World Government that rules this world.
In a luxurious and exquisite hall, five people are sitting or standing. They are the core of power of the world government and the actual controller of the world government, the Five Old Stars.
"Tenyasha, Don Quixote, Doflamingo..."
"I don't know how extensive the dark side trading network he established in the South China Sea is. This is just one of them. The focus is on his identity, which is difficult to deal with."
Even the five old stars have a headache due to Doflamingo's existence.
In the eyes of the Five Old Stars, Doflamingo's level of trouble is no less than that of the Four Emperors, because Doflamingo was once one of the world's nobles and Celestial Dragons. Even though he no longer has privileges, he still has There are many ways to tie their hands and feet.
"Okay, let's put Doflamingo's matter aside for now. The situation in the new world has become increasingly unoptimistic. The battle between countless pirates has gradually come to an end. Four of the major forces are now difficult to shake."
"Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Beast Kaido, Charlotte Lingling, Red Shanks, many people call them the Four Emperors... Now it seems that they are somewhat worthy of the name."
The five old stars all said this, and their faces were a little solemn.
Roger the Pirate King ushered in the era of great pirates, and then the world's strongest man, Whitebeard Edward Newgate, escorted this era, making it difficult for the world government to wipe out pirates. Now it has formed a situation that is difficult to suppress.
"Once the four emperors' forces are completely formed and separated from each other, it may be difficult to balance them with the power of the navy alone."
"The navy seems to be getting worse and worse in recent years. After the current three generals, Porusalino, Sakaski, and Kuzan, there seems to be no navy that can stand alone."
"That's true. I don't know if it's because the quality of the recruits has declined, or because Zefa's ability to teach the recruits has declined in recent years."
Having said this, the five old stars shook their heads slightly.
Back then, the three of them, Akainu, Aoki, and Kizaru, had risen astonishingly quickly. With extremely fast speed, they had become a navy that could stand alone.
After the then Navy Marshal Gang Gu Kong was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and the Navy Admiral Fo Zhi Seng Guo was promoted to the Navy Marshal, the three of them directly and logically assumed the positions of the three generals.
But after that, in so many years, there has never been a recruit who can compare with the three of them. Even the best recruits in recent years are far behind Aokiji, Kizaru and Akainu. .
"Perhaps we should investigate the current situation of the new recruits at the Navy Headquarters."
"How about letting CP go?"
Wulaoxing, who was sitting on the sofa, took a sip of tea and said: "There is a good newcomer among the CP reserve members. How about we let the CP reserve members go and 'communicate' with the new recruits from the Navy Headquarters. "
CP is not under the jurisdiction of the Navy. It is a special organization directly under the World Government. It can be regarded as a parallel organization with the Navy.
"Yes, this 'communication' does not need to be made public. Just contact Zefa directly and conduct it privately."
Several other Five Old Stars nodded casually.
To them, such things are just trivial matters. Unless the Navy Headquarters can produce a new recruit who is comparable to Akainu, Kizaru and Aokiji, it is not worth their attention at all.
What they really care about is the next development of the navy and the future direction of the world.
…
Navy Headquarters.
In a separate training ground, Zefa is teaching Roja the practice of domineering.
Armed color domineering is closely related to physical strength.
The stronger the body is, the stronger the armed color haki will be. If the body is weak, even if the armed color haki is learned, it will be weak.
Just like the Daughter Island located in the windless zone of the Grand Line, it is all women. All the people on that island are warriors, and almost everyone can use Haki, but their physical strength is not enough. Even if they can use Haki, they are still very weak. weak.
It takes time to practice domineering, and it cannot be achieved overnight.
To practice domineering when the physical strength is insufficient is to waste time and put the cart before the horse. It is better to spend time on building physical strength.
The potential of the human body is almost unlimited, and the physical strength can theoretically be increased without limit. However, the stronger the body, the more difficult it will be to go further. Even looking at the entire sea, there are only a few people who can reach the level of Garp. .
Generally speaking, it is most appropriate to start practicing Armed Color Haki when your physical strength reaches a certain level and it becomes very difficult to continue to improve your physical strength.
If it were anyone else, even if their physical strength was similar to that of Roja now, it would still be a bit too early to start practicing domineering in Zefa's opinion.
But Roja is different.
In just a few months, Luo Ya has cultivated an extremely weak body to the current level. With such a speed of cultivation, such things as practicing domineering too early will not apply to Luo Ya at all!
"The intensity of Armed Color Haki varies from person to person, but the control of Armed Color Haki has a simple and general division, which is the same for everyone."
Now it was time to officially teach Luo Ya how to practice domineering, so Zefa explained it in great detail, describing it bit by bit in a calm tone.
"Cultivating Armed Haki and being able to wrap it around your fist or weapon and slightly increase your attack power is just getting started."
"You can make the armed color Haki no longer surround, but attach to the weapons and fists at a high density, forming a hardening of the Armed Color. Only in this way can you truly master the Armed Color Haki."
"If you go a step further, you can also make any part of the body attached to the armed color Haki, so that the whole body's armed color is hardened. If you can reach this step, you have mastered the Armed Color Haki."
"Of course, the most fundamental thing is the intensity of armed domineering. No matter how perfect the control is, if it is not strong enough in essence, it is still not strong enough."
Zefa continued to state, and Roja nodded from time to time, with a look of certainty in his eyes.
For a large part of what Zefa told, Roja already had some guesses and inferences in his mind, but he was not sure. But now it seems that most of his thoughts and guesses are correct!
Being able to harden the entire body's armor is not a sign of strong domineering power, it can only be said to be a strong control of domineering power.
Assuming that today's Roya can cut through the armor color hardening with a strength of ten, then whether it is partial armor color hardening or full body armor color hardening, as long as the strength is below ten, Roya can cut it without fail!
The intensity of the armed color is fundamental!
Unless the strength can reach 20 or 30, otherwise, even if the armed color Haki with strength 10 is played to its full potential, it will not be able to stop Roja's slashing attack.
Zefa looked at Roja leisurely, paused, and then spoke slowly again.
"Being able to harden the color of your entire body's armament can certainly cope with most situations, but strength is the foundation. Now you only need to practice to the point where you can harden the color of your partial armament."
What Zefa said was exactly what Roja was thinking. If you hold a sword in your hand and don't think about how to attack, but instead think about how to defend with hardened armor, you are simply abandoning the way of the sword.
No matter what enemy is ahead, kill them all with one sword!
This is Roja's style, Roja's swordsmanship, and the soul of the sword that merges with Roja's soul, the will that is secretly conveyed to Roja.
Seeing Roja nodding, Zefa smiled slightly, then with a solemn expression, he said: "Then... we will officially start the practice of domineering. Listen carefully, you need to..."
