One Piece: Power-Power Fruit

Chapter 11 This Observation Haki is a bit special

Chapter 11: This Observation Haki is a bit special

Mu Chong didn't know how the top-tier fighters in the One Piece world trained their Observation Haki, but he knew it certainly wasn't through the kind of torment and excruciating pain he was experiencing now.

Just like now, Mu Chong was covered in bruises and injuries, lying on the ground half-dead, and he didn't want to move at all.

For the entire afternoon, Yi Xiao fired stones at Mu Chong like a machine gun, and any pause was considered disrespectful to the stones.

What? Won't it run out?

That's right, it's inexhaustible and continuously recyclable. With the power of the Gravity Fruit, Issho makes stones seem alive in his hands, always able to strike you from different angles and unexpected places, delivering a satisfying blow—it's perfect.

"Brother Mu, how are you feeling?"

Yixiao withdrew his fruit power, and the floating stones around him fell to the ground. He then asked Mu Chong, "..."

"Hehe, Uncle Yixiao, I'm fine, I'm excellent. I feel like I can go another three hundred rounds, and then you can just send me straight to the Grim Reaper..."

Mu Chong responded weakly to Yi Xiao's question, asking how I was feeling. "I'm already doing well to survive, why are you asking?"

"Haha, that's enough for today's training. We'll continue tomorrow. Brother Mu, get some rest..."

Yi smiled, shook his head, and then turned and walked towards his resting place.

"Ah...we'll continue tomorrow, hahaha...then let's continue, as long as we don't kill them, we'll go all out..."

Mu Chong, with a bitter expression, spoke the most resolute words, exhaled a deep breath, and then slowly stood up.

Although Mu Chong couldn't see the sky, the coolness of the summer night told him that the sky should already be full of stars.

Mu Chong didn't rest; instead, he swayed and staggered to the stone bench and sat down.

Mu Chong's afternoon of Observation Haki training wasn't without its gains. Although his body was covered in bruises from being hit by stones, it couldn't hide the fact that for a fleeting moment, he had dodged a stone.

That's right, it wasn't a coincidence, because his senses told him that he had definitely dodged the stone, because he had "seen" the trajectory of its flight.

Mu Chong sat cross-legged on the stone bench, his hands clasped in front of him. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and try to recapture the feeling of that moment; he firmly believed it wasn't accidental.

Slowly closing his eyes beneath the black cloth, he tried his best to relax his mind, calm his agitated heart, and perceive everything around him.

The night was already quiet, and being located halfway up the mountain, the courtyard was deserted except for Mu Chong; only the occasional evening breeze brushed against one's cheek.

He didn't know how long he sat there, but just when even the starry sky seemed to grow dull, Mu Chong began to change.

call……

A soft flapping of wings brushed past Mu Chong's ears, causing his heart to skip a beat. A fleeting image flashed through his mind, disappearing before he could even clearly see it, and his mind plunged back into darkness.

"No rush, no need to rush... Observation Haki is about using your mind to 'see' the world. This power of the mind exists within everyone. As long as you look for it with your heart, you will definitely find it. No need to rush..."

Mu Chong spoke softly, his body slowly relaxing again, steadily calming his mind, trying to feel a force within his body opening the closed door to his heart.

thump...

"Hmm? That's it..."

shuh...

Mu Chong, who was blindfolded, suddenly stretched out his right hand to grab forward, then stopped moving.

"Hehehe... Is this Observation Haki? What amazing power! I can actually 'see' it..."

Mu Chong withdrew his right hand, feeling the small animal struggling in his palm. His heart was filled with excitement; this was what he had just "seen" and had grabbed.

"No, that's not what you see. I was carrying a weight, so I wasn't that fast. That's why I reached out my hand beforehand, and the little guy just bumped into my palm..."

Mu Chong suddenly froze, his eyes, hidden behind the black cloth, snapping open uncontrollably. Even though he couldn't see anything, he couldn't hide his excitement.

"Phew... wait, is it a coincidence? Then... let's do it again..."

After a brief moment of excitement, Mu Chong regained his composure. It was as if he were naturally calming down. He released the little creature from his right hand and began to focus his mind once more on his surroundings, searching for the hidden power of his heart within him.

This time it lasted longer, and the evening breeze gradually lost its patience, making the entire courtyard of the mountain stronghold utterly silent, as if the place were completely empty.

pat...

boom……

As the two voices resounded in Mu Chong's mind, the first voice seemed to open a door in his mind like some force, while the second voice was like an invisible wave spreading outwards.

The next moment, Mu Chong could no longer contain his joy, for at this moment, the image of the mountain stronghold courtyard appeared clearly in his mind.

He "saw" it; he actually saw it without using his two eyes.

"Is this Observation Haki? This is just too amazing..."

Mu Chong excitedly used his Observation Haki to continuously "see" everything in the mountain stronghold: the courtyard, the big trees, the stone table, and the houses.

"Huh? This is..."

shuh...

"Hey, Uncle Yixiao actually ambushed me..."

When Mu Chong noticed a stone flying towards him, he had already moved away from the stone block, standing dashingly in the courtyard, and then "watched" a smile slowly appear.

"Hahaha, Brother Mu, you really surprise me! In such a short time, you've successfully activated Observation Haki, and the quality is quite high..."

Yi Xiao slowly walked towards Mu Chong, her steps showing no sign of stopping.

"What? What does Uncle Yixiao mean?"

Mu Chong didn't understand what Yi Xiao meant at that moment, and immediately asked, but the answer he received was a huge fist.

"Uncle Yixiao..."

"Young Master Mu, try taking a few punches from me..."

Yi Xiao didn't give Mu Chong time to think. He quickly moved closer and threw a punch, but just as the fist was about to land on Mu Chong, it was miraculously dodged.

"It seems that Brother Mu has indeed activated Observation Haki..."

As they spoke, Yixiao launched another fierce attack on Mu Chong.

Ignoring Yi Xiao's words, because in Mu Chong's own "vision," Yi Xiao's punches were very slow, and he could even predict the location of the opponent's next attack. Thinking of this, Mu Chong no longer hesitated and immediately raised his hand to counterattack.

A fist came straight at him with a smile. As Mu Chong raised his right hand to block, his left hand, instead of attacking when the opponent's body opened up, pressed down.

boom……

The next moment, Yi Xiao's knee came hurtling down, slamming heavily into Mu Chong's left hand.

"Hmm? Brother Mu's Observation Haki..."

While Yi Xiao was still stunned, Mu acted impulsively. He gripped Yi Xiao's fist tightly with his right hand, pulled him sharply, and then pressed his body close to Yi Xiao's. He raised his left arm in front of him, successfully blocking Yi Xiao's other fist attack. Then, he raised his foot and swiftly kicked Yi Xiao in the abdomen.

hum...

boom……

"Damn it, Uncle Yixiao, you have no sportsmanship..."
