Chapter 8
Isn't this pretty easy?
Sengoku was standing not far away, staring at him with a bewildered expression, blinking repeatedly, as if trying to confirm whether the person in front of him was indeed his grandson.
And standing next to him was Zephyr.
"Old man? What brings you here?!"
A look of confusion crossed Kyle's face.
Sengoku did not answer, still staring at Kyle in disbelief. The next moment, he flashed and disappeared from his original spot, appearing beside Kyle.
His arm reached out to grab Kyle.
The sudden movement made Kyle instinctively want to transform into lightning and escape.
But before he could make any of these movements, Sengoku grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him up by the collar.
Raise Kyle to his level.
The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
After a long pause, Sengoku suddenly spoke:
"When did you eat a Devil Fruit, kid?"
Kyle didn't hesitate and began with the words he had prepared beforehand:
"This morning, a purple pineapple inexplicably fell from the sky. It looked so tempting, so I picked it up and ate it. But it tasted like shit!"
As he spoke, Kyle even made a disgusted face to make it more vivid.
Upon hearing this, the Warring States period was even more astonished.
"Have you ever eaten shit? Otherwise, how would you know it's the same as eating shit?"
"Kyle!! Your grandpa is a Fleet Admiral, I wouldn't let you be reduced to eating shit, would I?"
"Or... is this some kind of peculiar hobby of yours?!"
(*  ̄︶ ̄)
Alright, alright! So this is how you play the old man?
Kyle smiled slightly and replied:
"No! I was just saying that's what Devil Fruits taste like when I saw you secretly eating poop last time, Grandpa!"
"You were smacking your lips and savoring the taste!"
"Afterwards, you even had someone hypnotize you to forget that memory of eating shit, so it's normal that you don't remember it now!"
(⊙o⊙)...
In an instant, Sengoku felt a disdainful gaze directed at him. Turning around, he saw Zephyr looking at him with an extremely strange expression.
Although he didn't speak, Sengoku had already understood his meaning.
"No, I haven't eaten it, and I haven't forgotten it either!"
The Warring States period was a bit furious.
"Yes! You haven't forgotten!"
Kyle chimed in.
"I really didn't eat it!!"
"Mmm, you didn't eat!!"
……
"I'll say it one last time: I haven't eaten shit, nor have I forgotten that I have!"
Zhan Guo's face turned red and his neck thickened, and his tone became incoherent.
Kyle, who was being carried, suddenly brightened up and said, seemingly in surprise:
"Ah!! Grandpa, you finally remembered you ate shit?"
"That's good, then I don't have to keep hiding it for you anymore!!"
……
(╬▔盘▔)╯
Sengoku's face turned bright red, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared intently at Kyle.
!!!
Kyle's eyes narrowed, and a bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
We're doomed!!
It seems... a bit too much!
"Kyle!!!"
Sengoku roared, and then his fist, as big as a sandbag, slammed down towards Kyle.
BOOM BOOM BOOM! !
A series of dull thuds rang out, accompanied by Kyle's occasional screams of pain.
I don't know how much time passed.
Kyle sat on the ground, clutching his head, the pain making him grimace.
He meows!
This old bastard, is he bullying him because he's young and weak?
What Kyle didn't see was that Sengoku's gaze was slightly dazed at this moment, his eyes filled with confusion and a hint of disbelief.
The feel is different!!
He had beaten up Kyle quite a few times, so he had always been familiar with Kyle's physique.
When I beat him up a week ago, he was still a piece of trash.
How come it has improved so much in just one week?
When the first blow landed on Kyle, it felt like he was hitting a piece of iron.
It's completely different from what it used to be.
He even had to use Armament Haki so that Kyle could enjoy his grandfather's love.
However, he is now certain that the brat in front of him is indeed his grandson.
He didn't believe a word of the nonsense his grandson was spouting. Didn't he know what kind of person his grandson was?
But he didn't want to ask any more questions.
Everyone has their own secrets; he just needed to make sure Kyle was alright.
At this moment, Zhan Guo suddenly noticed a small figure lying not far away. After recognizing it for a moment, he spoke uncertainly:
"Is that kid over there... Garp's grandson?"
"right!!"
Kyle nodded.
"I accidentally unleashed a power just now, and it knocked him unconscious!"
"Release? Stun?"
A moment of confusion flashed across Sengoku's face, then he seemed to realize something and stared intently at Kyle.
"Could you unleash that ability again?"
"Can!"
Kyle nodded.
His gaze narrowed slightly, and his Conqueror's Haki, like a wild horse unleashed, suddenly erupted from his body, sweeping outwards.
!!!
Sengoku and Zephyr's naval cloaks rustled in the wind, but they paid no attention to these details; their eyes were filled with nothing but horror.
"Conqueror's Haki?!?"
The Warring States period was marked by a deafening scream.
Even as a naval admiral who had seen countless storms, he was genuinely shocked.
Zephyr's expression was no better, his mouth agape.
At this moment, Zephyr's previous thoughts became even stronger.
No matter what, he was determined to get this kid into the elite training camp.
Such a genius is only worthy of being taught; could anyone else teach him effectively?
"How did you awaken Conqueror's Haki?!"
Sengoku grabbed Kyle's shoulders with both hands and asked loudly.
Kyle, on the other hand, pretended to be clueless.
"Conqueror's Haki? So this ability is called Conqueror's Haki?"
Kyle had never been exposed to anything related to Haki before, at least not in Sengoku's opinion.
Therefore, he cannot appear to know everything, otherwise he will have to continue making things up.
"I don't know what happened, I just awakened out of nowhere! Isn't this pretty easy?"
Pretty easy?!
To be honest, it's hard to associate this word with Hegemony during the Warring States period.
If Conqueror's Haki were so easy to awaken, it wouldn't be called the quality of a king; only a very few people in the world could awaken it.
First of all, Conqueror's Haki depends on aptitude. Even if someone is very strong, they will never be able to awaken Conqueror's Haki in their lifetime if they do not have the aptitude.
Thinking of this, Sengoku couldn't help but look at Zefa on the other side.
Zephyr: ? ? ?
Feeling Sengoku's gaze, even though he didn't say anything, Zefa inexplicably felt uneasy and had an urge to hit him.
Looking back at the tiny Kyle in front of him, Sengoku couldn't help but recall the time when he awakened his Conqueror's Haki.
He remembered it was a dark and stormy night...
"Hey! Old man, stop reminiscing, stop taking up time in the story, don't you know any better?"
Warring States Period: ? ? ?
