"Kid, your methods are really something. You were able to cut off the explosion sensing of the neck collar in an instant through Flowing Cherry. It seems that you're very skilled in the use of Armament Haki."
Rayleigh also said with a slightly surprised expression, "However, the use of Conqueror's Haki is even more difficult than this. Are you really sure you want to do it here?"
He often did things like auctioning himself off.
It could be said that he had scammed all the auction houses on the Sabaody Archipelago once.
However, he also knew how much strength it would take to untie this neck collar.
Watching Rayleigh, who was repeating the confirmation again and again, Kai rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Mr. Rayleigh, if you dawdle any longer, Akainu and the others will arrive."
"Rest assured, I won't go back on my word afterward."
"Alright then. I also want to see what you look like when you fail. Don't look dazed after listening to the explanation."
Seeing that Kai was insisting, Rayleigh was unwilling to waste any more words and went straight to the point.
"I don't know where the Mental Shock you used just now came from, but this thing is very similar to Conqueror's Haki."
In the end, Conqueror's Haki is the imperial will that special people are born with. It's different from the two colors of Haki, but it can also act on the two colors of Haki.
You can understand it as a person who possesses Conqueror's Haki possessing two souls, and the second soul is Conqueror's Haki.
As he spoke, Rayleigh took a sip of the wine and raised his right hand.
Before Bonney could react, pitch-black Armament Haki spread out quickly, covering the entire arm.
"This is Armament Haki. We call it beginner." Rayleigh glanced at Bonney, who had a blank expression, and specifically explained.
"The next level of Armament Haki, the color will be darker, and it will be more indestructible. You can understand it as the thickness of the Haki being different."
"As for advanced Armament Haki, it's to liquefy and flow Cherry, forming a power similar to internal energy. It can not only enhance defense, but also enhance attack power."
Speaking of this, the Haki on Rayleigh's hand flowed like a liquid, and the aura that it exuded became even heavier, making Bonney's beautiful eyes widen, as if she had opened a new door.
However, before Bonney could react, the next moment, Rayleigh's eyes suddenly narrowed.
The lazy aura that he had been exuding all over his body changed in an instant.
Before everyone could react, it directly turned into a sharp blade with all its sharpness revealed.
One after another, strange scarlet patterns spread out quickly on his arm.
The Flowing Cherry, which had been flowing like a tide, squirmed quickly at this moment, directly turning into a solid object in Rayleigh's hand.
What entered their eyes was a blade that was about a meter long, jet black, and exuded a chilling light that was captivating.
"As I guessed, Conqueror's Haki can enhance the power of the two colors of Haki. It has a meaning similar to fuel." Kai's eyes lit up involuntarily.
In the original story, he knew that Luffy's Fourth Gear used the rapid consumption of the three colors of Haki to improve his own strength.
At the same time, in the TV version, there was even a Marine Vice Admiral, Kongming, who was able to materialize Armament Haki.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to know quite a lot, kid." Rayleigh chuckled and said, "The strength of a person's Haki can be improved through training, but Conqueror's Haki is innate, and there are few means of training it."
"If you want to materialize Armament Haki with Armament Haki alone, you need high-intensity training and a long accumulation of time."
Speaking of this, Rayleigh looked at Kai and said, "Your talent is not bad. I think you can awaken Conqueror's Haki in a month or two. To achieve Armament Haki materialization, it should take two years if you train under me."
"However, you just used the favor I owed. If you want to get my guidance, do you want to give me something?"
Watching Rayleigh raise the wine pot in his hand, Kai rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Just tell me the secret. I don't want to owe you this old man a favor."
This wine and gambling were simply Rayleigh's life pleasures.
However, for Kai, spending time to learn was just nonsense. What he really wanted to do was to master the secret of sensing Conqueror's Haki.
"Really don't need it?" Rayleigh was stunned for a moment and hurriedly added, "I'm a famous teacher. Look at Shanks, you know him, right? That kid worked under me, wiping my back for several years before I agreed to guide him. At that time, he even wanted to warm my bed."
"However, besides him, there's also a red nose who runs off to be a clown every day. It's just that his aptitude is a little dull. Of course, there are many famous pirates who have asked me for guidance. How about you give me some wine and I'll slowly count them for you!"
In order to drink some free wine, Rayleigh was clearly going all out, even selling his relationship with Shanks.
Kai was immediately helpless and said, "You old man, you're selling even Shanks for the sake of drinking. Be careful he has someone chop you."
"You just need to tell me the secret to awakening Conqueror's Haki. As for the wine, I robbed a merchant ship transporting Heavenly Tribute when I came. There's still a lot on it. You can go ahead and take it."
Heavenly Tribute? Bonney was stunned all of a sudden.
In the original story, she had played the role of the Queen Dowager of the Sorbet Kingdom, so she naturally knew that Heavenly Tribute represented the face of the Celestial Dragons.
Ordinary pirates didn't even dare to touch it.
The Four Emperors, in order to avoid a direct conflict with the World Government and the Marine Headquarters, wouldn't let their subordinates touch it.
However, now Kai had seized the Heavenly Tribute on the way here, which was too shocking.
She finally understood why Kai would attack, even with the Celestial Dragons' identity clearly in front of him.
"You kid, you even robbed the Heavenly Tribute. However, I like it." Rayleigh laughed and said.
"However, I really have a simple method to awaken Conqueror's Haki, which is for me to directly use Haki to shock your spirit and forcibly activate it. However, the success rate is very low. Are you sure you want to try?"
"Of course. You old man, stop beating around the bush. They're almost here." Kai said with a roll of his eyes.
For Kai, who possessed a one-key max level system, as long as there was a sliver of opportunity, it was enough.
Watching Kai, who had a determined look on his face, Rayleigh sighed helplessly and said, "I really can't figure out what you're thinking, kid."
"However, oh well. This old man wants to see what you look like when you fail, with that look of confidence on your face."
As he spoke, this time Rayleigh didn't dawdle. The katana that had materialized from Armament Haki dissipated in the air in an instant.
His right index finger gently pointed towards Kai's forehead. The next moment, his turbid eyes suddenly narrowed, turning as sharp as a hawk.
