Pirate Shadow Guardian

"It seems that I have accidentally found a way to increase my spiritual power..."

Yang Ye initially knew about the relationship between Observation Haki and spiritual power. No matter how you look at it, the so-called Observation Haki is very similar to the legendary cultivator's spiritual power...

So, he referred to the method he read in the novel, meditation. Meditation is not about emptying your mind, but about visualizing a pattern in your mind, and then concentrating your mind to ensure that the pattern is always clear and that no other distracting thoughts appear.

It is easy to say but hard to do.

There is a word called "a restless mind", which means that people's thoughts are like wild horses that have broken free from their reins and cannot be controlled at all. It is difficult to have a free mind from distractions, and it is even more difficult to maintain a fixed pattern.

Naturally, what he visualized could not be Tathagata Buddha, the Jade Emperor, the Monkey King or the like, nor could he choose some illusory demons and monsters that did not even have a fixed form.

Even, I can’t visualize myself!

It wasn't because of shame, but mainly because his state was not static. Yang Ye, who was still a little boy at that time, would change slightly every few months, if not every day.

It is too troublesome to visualize like this, and it needs to be updated from time to time. It is already difficult to maintain the visualization, and then add changes... Yang also asked himself that he is not the protagonist of those immortal cultivation novels. He cannot be completely focused, nor does he have that kind of magical visualization method that can make people unconsciously indulge in it.

So, pick something simple, something that will not change, something that can last forever, and something that you understand!

So Yang also visualized the full moon.

Why not visualize the sun?

Because the sun and human heart cannot be looked at directly, and neither can visualization.

He was simply gazing at the full moon above Yueyin Island, a full moon without any waxing or waning phases.

When these words appeared unconsciously in his mind, the full moon also changed accordingly.

then…

Visualization failed.

Not to mention visualizing it in your mind, even if you were asked to look at the real object, it would be difficult for you not to use your rich associative ability.

Even if you see a stone on the roadside, when you see it, will you subconsciously think about how big and heavy the stone is? If you kick it, it will probably hurt for a long time...

So it’s really so tiring!

You have to visualize it, but you can't use your own associations, and don't add some weird things. The moon is the moon, even if it is a full moon, don't think of August 15th, don't think of moon cakes!

Thinking of this, the visualization failed again!

You cannot deliberately avoid certain information, because doing so itself is a distraction!

In short, if you visualize a full moon, it will only be a full moon. You can visualize a full moon, then empty your mind, quietly appreciate this full moon, and quietly feel its charm.

Don’t be too relaxed, or you’ll fall asleep easily…

In the past, Yang would always suffer from nervous breakdown because of this kind of visualization.

But it seems that because of this, his spiritual power grew relatively quickly, and he had awakened his Observation Haki at the age of eleven. It seems that it was not entirely due to the time travel.

So, as Garp said, he increased his spiritual power through this almost harsh meditation method. This is why his observation Haki would improve rapidly after every battle.

It's a pity that Cap has already left Windmill Town, otherwise I could help him...

Never mind, Karp can't help him.

He couldn't explain why he came up with such a perverted way of meditation. If he told Garp about his practice method, he would most likely be considered a psychopath and a masochist...

In short, I have been meditating for several years, and since it is effective, I will just continue.

Putting aside other things, visualizing the full moon and relaxing your mind will not cause insomnia. When you visualize until you are mentally exhausted, you will automatically fall asleep, which can be said to be a great sleep aid.

Cap's departure was also inevitable.

Otherwise, with such a big dog-headed warship parked outside Windmill Town, which blind pirate would dare to approach it? Even if you don't approach Windmill Town, just approaching this island requires courage!

After half a month, many ships had landed in the Kingdom of Goya.

He has not yet made a move against Yang Ye, perhaps he is waiting for someone with weight to take the lead, and then he can fish in troubled waters. Or maybe he is worried that he can't keep the 30 million Baileys.

It’s so funny!

Before they came, they were blinded by the benefits and came without thinking. When they really wanted to take action, they hesitated and shrank back. But they were unwilling to give up and leave here.

How ridiculous it is to be a greedy and foolish person!

Since they didn't take any action, Yang was too lazy to care about them.

Anyway, it is the Goya Kingdom that is worrying now, not Yang Ye.

The Goya Kingdom was indeed in a lot of trouble when this group of unruly and lawless pirates entered their territory. Although it did boost the economy, it also brought disputes.

If pirates abide by the law, what are they?

So, some people drank and made trouble, some molested women, some fought, some made enemies...

Anyway, the Goya Kingdom’s prisons are now somewhat overcrowded…

Unintentionally, this also attracted a wave of hatred towards Yang.

Don’t think that all pirates are short-sighted. They may not understand the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold", but if the Goya Kingdom can catch other pirates, it can catch them too!

Then, the Goya Kingdom became even more chaotic...

As a last resort, the king ordered that the port and town closest to the garbage mountain be emptied out, and the residents be transferred to other towns, leaving only an empty town for the pirate group that landed. In addition, he also arranged for people to provide food and drinks for a fee.

It is difficult to say whether the Goya Kingdom made a profit or a loss, but at least it is temporarily stable.

But even a fool knows that long-term stability is impossible.

Do you expect a group of pirates to stay quiet every day, spend money on food, and never go out of the house?

impossible!

The pirates with excess energy are not otakus, they need excitement!

Whether it is fine wine, women, or wealth, pirates like them all.

Even if Goya Kingdom provides it, what can they do? They have no money!

No money, but reasonable!

I'm a pirate, isn't it natural for me to rob?

Right now, these things are only happening on a small scale, and most people are still restrained. After all, this is a member country of the World Government.

However, it is foreseeable that a storm is brewing.

Now the top leaders of the Goya Kingdom hope that the battle will start immediately! Because only in this way can the pirates focus on the battle, and the threat to their country will be much smaller.

This is what I thought and this is what I did.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ye didn't expect that the first shot of the battle was fired by the Goya Kingdom!

Of course, they couldn't send troops to suppress the pirates. During this sensitive period, they had already mustered up the courage to arrest some pirates who broke the law. If they were asked to send troops to suppress the pirates again, the angry pirates would definitely bring huge losses to the Goya Kingdom!

Therefore, the Goya Kingdom sent out dozens of death squads to launch an offensive against Yang Ye!

They did not expect that these mere dozens of guards could kill Yang Ye, but just wanted to send out a signal and use the blood of these dozens of people to ignite the fire of war!
