Cultivating Haki: Kaido's Compatibility with the Warrior Profession

Chapter 29 Cultivating Haki: Kaido's Compatibility with the Warrior Profession

However, this was not the time for Rhodes to think about such things, since he hadn't even mastered the fel magic yet! He had only just acquired some high-level fel magic from the Burning Legion and needed to practice it even more diligently.

Moreover, his future training schedule is packed with things, starting with the three types of Haki from the One Piece world, and also Devil Fruit abilities.

In the short term, I will not be able to study any psychic or shadow magic. What I lack most is time.

"Kid! You've mastered the essence of Observation Haki quite well, and your control over Conqueror's Haki is also good."

"As for Armament Haki, you still need to hone it. You haven't even scratched the surface yet!" Kaido said.

Kaido was quite satisfied with Rhodes' progress in mastering Observation Haki. The kid's speed in comprehending Observation Haki was so fast that even he, one of the Four Emperors, was somewhat surprised.

He has also mastered Conqueror's Haki quite well, but Kaido is quite dissatisfied with Armament Haki.

"Observation Haki, to put it simply, is actually a kind of spiritual energy, as is Conqueror's Haki. I don't find these two powers too difficult to cultivate," Rhodes said.

The reason why Rhode's Observation Haki and Armament Haki progressed so quickly was due to his powerful mental energy. After all, he was a master of manipulation, and playing with mental energy was his forte.

Rhodes has mastered Observation Haki and can now sense some of his opponents' attacks even with his eyes closed.

As for Conqueror's Haki, after Kaido guided him a few times, Rhodes successfully mastered it and can now release it in its initial stages, rather than releasing it unconsciously.

The next step in training is to further control his Conqueror's Haki, to be able to use it to intimidate enemies according to Rod's will, and to be able to distinguish between friend and foe.

"In our world, Conqueror's Haki cannot be enhanced through training; it can only be improved by raising one's own spirit. I can only teach you how to control Conqueror's Haki."

As for Observation Haki, you'll need to hone it yourself. Fighting and sparring with others will help you develop it. As for Armament Haki, keep working on it! Kaido said.

Kaido has been teaching him Armament Haki for over ten days, but this kid hasn't grasped it at all.

Compared to his progress in cultivating Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki, it was far inferior.

"I'll practice this even more," Rod said.

Rhodes was originally a magic-based professional, possessing both Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki, which are related to mental strength, so he naturally learned them quickly.

Armament Haki is essentially a warrior's training method, so it's naturally learned slowly.

If a top-tier warrior or paladin from Azeroth were to come to the One Piece world, they would definitely be able to master Armament Haki very quickly, since it's a close-combat technique. But I'm a mage!

You fucking expect me, a spellcaster, to fight in melee? Then what are your daughter and Runti here for?

"Do as you please. I can only teach you as much as I can anyway." Kaido said, taking out a jug of sake and gulping it down.

"Kaido, besides the power of fel energy, there is another energy in my world that you can control, as well as a very advanced combat technique, which I think would be very suitable for you," Rhodes said.

Kaido possesses immense physical strength, and his Armament Haki has been honed to the highest level.

If someone like that were to learn the way of the warrior, Kaido would definitely go very far, even though being a warrior is a very common profession in the world of Azeroth.

But this doesn't mean there aren't any skilled warriors. You should know that the first generation of paladins were actually top-tier warriors who were transformed from warriors and received the infusion of holy light.

A powerful warrior can unleash their rage and use certain skills.

Whirlwind Slash, Blade Storm, Execute, Devastate Strike, Bloodlust, Mortal Strike, Burning Fury, Reckless Strike, Cleave, Charge, Storm Hammer, and even Avatar – these are all combat techniques that only warriors can master.

With Kaido's monstrous physique, if he learns the way of the warrior, his combat power will be further enhanced, definitely not much less than the enhancement brought by the power of evil energy.

"Is it a special power from your world?" Kaido asked, intrigued.

"That's right, it's a melee skill. This profession is called Warrior, and they can control an energy called Rage."

This is a power generated by developing one's own body, similar to your Armament Haki.

"However, because the worlds are different, if you want to learn it, you must go to our world," Rhodes said.

After gaining the ability to travel through time, Rhode had a vague idea that he wanted to learn the unique powers of other worlds.

Then you must learn it in this world so that you can use it in other worlds. If you only know one cultivation method in other worlds, you will not be able to learn this power.

For example, if you awaken Conqueror's Haki in the One Piece world, you can also train Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

Rhodes conducted an experiment before. When he first came to the world of One Piece, he exchanged a Devil Fruit with the Golden Emperor Tesoro, namely the Zoan-type Wildebeest Fruit.

After the fruit came to the world of Azeroth with him, it immediately turned into a strange fruit.

The fruit still retains some of the appearance of a Devil Fruit, but it has lost its mysterious patterns.

It's a rather peculiar fruit that doesn't rot.

Rhodes had guessed at the time that if one ate a Devil Fruit in the world of Azeroth, there was a high probability that one would not gain the Devil Fruit's power.

After being transported back to the world of One Piece, the Devil Fruit returned to its original form.

Therefore, Rhodes concluded that eating a Devil Fruit in the world of Azeroth would not grant Devil Fruit abilities.

However, after eating a Devil Fruit in the One Piece world, one should be able to normally obtain the Devil Fruit's abilities.

"Now that you mention it, I'm interested. Increasing my strength has always been my favorite thing."

"I'm already getting impatient with the combat techniques from another world. Kid, when are we setting off?" Kaido asked.

"Don't worry, Kaido. After that artificial Devil Fruit is delivered, I'll eat it and then train for a while."

"We'll head to the world of Azeroth. I'll find you a top-tier warrior mentor to teach you the way of the warrior," Rhodes said.

Just as the two were talking, a pirate came to report that King the Wildfire had returned and that the artificial Devil Fruit that Rod needed had also been retrieved.
