Start your adventure from Pirate World

Did you sense my strength through seeing and hearing Haki?

Just this sentence, the information revealed was enough to shock Koushiro.

Domineering is the threshold of being strong. People who are not domineering are not necessarily weak, but people who are domineering are definitely not weak.

However, in the East China Sea, domineering is not a widely known thing, or in other words, ordinary people know nothing about it except that they have experienced it in the new world or have relatives who have experienced it in the new world.

Even for Devil Fruits, which are more common in the sea, people in the East China Sea know very little about them. Many people still think that Devil Fruits are just rumors on the sea.

This is one of the reasons why the East China Sea is called the 'weakest sea', because narrow vision can also limit a person's strength.

Of course, Koushiro is not an ordinary person who knows nothing, and he knows more, so he was shocked by Noel's words.

Because ordinary sight and color cannot perceive the strength of other people!

In other words, Noel's application of this kind of knowledge means that his power of knowledge has reached the stage of deep development!

Being able to apply his knowledge to advanced fields at such a young age, Koushiro found that he still underestimated the strength and potential of the person in front of him.

"I see. It seems that all my previous remarks were in vain."

Koushiro showed a helpless smile. Now he understood why he was found, and he also slightly dispelled some suspicions about Noel.

As for Noel's question, Koushiro thought about it and answered:

"I do know a thing or two about armed domineering."

Hearing this, Noel's face suddenly showed an expression of joy.

Sure enough, I caught a big fish now!

"but,"

However, Koushiro suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile:

"If possible, I would like to ask Mr. Noel a few questions first."

"Of course, please."

The Nuoer Center trembled, and everyone sat upright in their seats, knowing that the entrance exam was coming.

Although Koushiro didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious. If you answer these questions well, I'll teach you. If you don't answer them well, everyone will say goodbye.

Of course, if you kidnap Kuina to threaten him, he might teach you, but Noel is not the kind of person who will use any means.

"First of all, I want to ask, why do you want to pursue power?"

Noel replied:

"In order to have the power to protect myself in today's era, and even be able to live relatively freely and do what I want to do."

This answer surprised Koushiro, and he asked:

"As far as self-protection is concerned, your strength is enough to establish yourself in the Grand Line or even the New World. Isn't this strength enough to protect yourself?"

In his opinion, with just a high-level Haki, self-protection should not be a problem as long as Noel doesn't take the initiative to provoke any strong people.

However, Noel scratched his head and said:

"I think if you want to protect yourself, it's best to reach the level of the Three Emperors or Three Generals, right?"

"puff!"

Koushiro spurted out half of his tea. Fortunately, Noel dodged in time and was not hit.

"What did you say?"

Koushiro suspected that he had heard wrongly.

So Noel had to repeat it again:

"I think if you want to protect yourself, it's best to reach the level of the Three Emperors or Three Generals, right?"

The Three Emperors refer to Whitebeard, Big Mom and Kaido. Shanks has not yet ascended the throne of the Sea Emperor.

In Noel's view, if you want to live comfortably in the world of One Piece, the best state is to be like Hawkeye Mihawk, who has super strength himself and does not occupy any borders. He plays his own game without thinking about anyone. To offend Mihawk.

What's more, he also has a golden finger that can travel across the world. He wants to go on adventures in other worlds. In order to deal with various situations, the stronger the better, of course. The strength of the three generals may not be enough.

Koushiro didn't know what Noel was thinking in his heart, but even so he was very embarrassed. Wasn't this requirement for self-protection too high?

But judging from Noel's expression, he seemed to really think so.

However, he also thought that Noel already had such strength at such a young age and had mastered advanced knowledge. With his talent and potential, it seemed that it would not be a delusion to achieve such strength in the future.

In the end, he could only sigh:

Young people today are amazing.

Then Koushiro asked again:

"If you just want to protect yourself, then what is your purpose of going to sea?"

"I want to look around and see the wonders of this world. In the process, I think I will find my goal."

Noel replied, his words revealing confusion but his tone firm, giving people a contradictory feeling.

Are you still looking for a goal, or someone whose goal is to find a goal...?

Koushiro smiled and thought Noel was very interesting.

"Have you found anything since you went to sea?"

"I dare not say what I found, but just before I came here, I heard a story that impressed me deeply."

As he spoke, Noel concealed some specific names and details, and briefly told Koushiro the story of Navy Captain Ben Pine.

...

......

Listening to Noel's story, the smile that had been hanging on the corner of Koushiro's mouth gradually disappeared, replaced by silence and faint anger.

Even though Noel's account was not as shocking as his own words, Koushiro could still feel the cruelty of the Tenryu people, the absurdity of the naval government, and the despair of the naval colonel.

"...Oh, it's really impressive."

Finally, Koushiro sighed quietly and wanted to continue to say something, but he opened his mouth and finally did not say anything.

Still afraid to talk, still don't want to talk, or don't want to talk in front of him, Noel doesn't know.

The Celestial Dragons are a taboo topic for most people. If someone with a heart hears about it, it may lead to disaster. It is understandable that they don't want to talk about Noel in front of outsiders.

But Noel was not afraid and continued:

"Perhaps the vast majority of the navy is just most of the time, but the existence of the Celestial Dragons and their actions to protect the Celestial Dragons are black spots that they cannot erase. This is one of the reasons why I am unwilling to join the navy. .

Earlier, a group of pirates invited me to board the ship, but I also refused.If nothing else happens, I will probably maintain my current status as a bounty hunter and continue my activities alone. "

"However, in today's era, it is difficult for anyone to be alone."

Koushiro said.

"Therefore, in order to be able to stand alone and protect myself in this era, I need stronger power, such as armed Haki!"

After saying that, Noel lowered his head and asked:

"Also ask the teacher to teach me!"

Looking at Noel who lowered his head in front of him, Koushiro recalled some of his words just now and finally showed a smile.

He smiled and said:

"There is no need to call the teacher. I can only tell you some experience, if you are willing to listen."
