Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

It is rumored that "Lone Red" Baroric Redfield possesses a mysterious and special Observation Haki. In addition to sensing the breath of the target within a certain range like ordinary Observation Haki, he can also read people's hearts.

If this ability to read people's hearts is driven to the extreme, it can also check the target's memory to a certain extent.

Although this has always been just a rumor, from now on, this guy may really have some special power.

Thinking of this, Darren's eyes gradually brightened and smiled:

"It seems that the rumor is true."

Hearing Darren's words, the other criminals present were all stunned.

Wait!

Their expressions were extremely stunned, as if they had discovered something, and they looked at Darren in confusion.

So... this madman sneaked into the city of Impel Down, opened all of their seastone shackles, and released them, and finally beat almost all of them like crazy, just to practice his Observation Haki?

Is this reasonable?

If you want to practice Observation Haki, go find your teacher.

Isn't "Black Arm" Zephyr a former admiral of the navy?

Why did he come to us?

These "world-class" criminals rubbed their bruises and broken bones, grimacing in pain and full of resentment.

Hearing Darren's words, Redfield sighed and sat down on the spot.

Even though he was seriously injured, his back was still straight, his demeanor was calm, and he exuded the noble temperament of an aristocratic gentleman.

"No matter what kind of domineering, it is the power of the "heart"... and this is especially true for the observation domineering."

"High-intensity fighting and confrontation can indeed force people's physical potential to a certain extent, and force the ability to capture the target's breath to be more acute, but this method cannot allow you to truly master the power of the 'heart'."

Darren frowned.

"The power of the heart?"

To be honest, he thought he had studied the practice of domineering quite thoroughly.

The so-called "domineering" is the potential power possessed by all human beings.

According to the theory Darren has mastered now, Haki is an innate ability.

Momentum, murderous intent, fighting spirit... When people can control these abilities that cannot be seen by the naked eye, strong willpower can be transformed into an indestructible weapon.

And this powerful force is called Haki by people on this sea.

This is easy to understand.

Momentum, murderous intent, fighting spirit... These are the "energy sources" of the Conqueror's Haki, and willpower itself is the catalyst that causes these energies to explode.

So under normal circumstances, a battle-hardened warrior has enough "energy sources", but if their willpower declines, or if their spirit declines, he will have no way to drive his own momentum and murderous intent as a weapon to attack the enemy.

This also explains why in the original plot, Crocodile and Gekko Moriah, after losing to Whitebeard and Kaido respectively, their spirits were completely beaten, resulting in a serious decline in their own strength, and even the most basic Armament Haki and Observation Haki could not be displayed.

But this is just one of the understandings of Haki.

And the "Lonely Red" Redfield in front of him gave another understanding at this time.

——Haki is the power of "heart".

"Yes, I may not have much say in Armament Haki and Conqueror Haki. Garp and Zephyr are much better than me in this regard, but Observation Haki is ultimately an ability to perceive people's hearts."

Redfield nodded.

Seeing Darren sitting there in thought, covered in blood and scars, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly asked with a strange look in his eyes:

"Could it be that... the way you practiced Observation Haki in the past was so simple and crude?"

"By fighting with the strong one after another, you let yourself walk on the edge of death?"

Darren's expression suddenly became strange.

"Aren't you?"

Redfield: "..."

Facing Darren's self-righteous expression, he couldn't help rubbing his temples and said helplessly:

"It's a miracle that you can live to this day."

"For me, fighting is just a means to verify the results of cultivation... Although fighting with strong enemies can indeed give the body enough stimulation to force oneself to break through the original limit, no one can guarantee that the goddess of victory will always stand on their side."

Darren thought about it, nodded and shook his head:

"In fact, it's not entirely true. As long as the body is trained strong enough, even if it is a fatal injury, it can be recovered quickly."

A, a fatal injury?The criminals who were eavesdropping on the side were stunned.

If someone else said this, they would just think he was bragging.

But this guy's words...

Thinking of the "scraping" attack they had just launched on Darren, which did not leave even a scratch on the latter's body, they shut up obediently.

This is the truth, and there is no way to refute it.

Redfield's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He tightened the blood-red umbrella in his hand, and then quickly let go.

"Did you always talk like this before?"

He said expressionlessly.

Darren raised his hands in surrender and explained:

"I'm just telling the truth."

Redfield took a deep breath,

"That's not the point of what I'm saying... The point is that even if you have extraordinary physical defense, you can't guarantee that you can survive every fight!"

He stared at Darren with his eyes and said word by word:

"Only by living can you become stronger."

Darren pondered for a few seconds and said slowly:

"You have a point."

Redfield smiled.

"People with weak physiques should be more cautious, otherwise, they will die if they are not careful."

Darren stroked the stubble on his chin and whispered.

"..."

Redfield's smile froze.

Blue veins bulged on the back of his hands and forehead. He felt that his lifelong cultivation could not suppress the anger in his heart.

This kid is too infuriating!

"But for me, what you said is not really appropriate."

Darren suddenly said.

Redfield said unhappily:

"What do you mean?"

Darren smiled and said:

"Compared to you and most people in this sea, I don't have much time to grow up."

"As you can see, I am now the number one enemy of the World Government and a wanted criminal with one of the highest bounties... And unfortunately, if I am arrested, I am afraid I won't even have the chance to come here and be a cellmate with you guys..."

"For you, you can live first and then become stronger."

"But for me..."

He blinked at Redfield.

"Only by becoming stronger can you live."
