One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 24 Rorschach was whipped

As Gion continued his incessant explanation, Rorschach reviewed what he already knew.

After finishing speaking, Gion added, "Besides Armament Haki, there's also Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki."

"I won't introduce these two yet, because you wouldn't know even if I did!"

Rorschach nodded, but his eyes were fixed on Gion's hands. Noticing Rorschach's gaze, Gion realized what was happening and said, "By the way, the method for training Armament Haki is..."

"There is a kind of energy hidden in our bodies. Calm down and feel the flow of that energy, and gather it into your fist."

"You'll succeed when you can cover your fists with a layer of armor."

Luo Xia frowned upon hearing this. "Sister Zhiyuan, isn't there a quicker way?"

"I feel like I'm not doing anything useful by sitting here for days, am I?"

Gion glared at Rorschach, "Do you think Armament Haki is easy to master?"

"Countless people have cultivated their skills in this way, even the Four Emperors are no exception!"

Speaking of which, I once heard a story.

Then, Gion's tone shifted abruptly, and she laughed, "However..."

"but?"

"I heard that when Vice Admiral Garp was training his Armament Haki, he literally blasted open eight mountains to succeed. If you want to speed things up, that's the only way!"

After saying that, Gion pointed towards the back mountain, "Look, if you want to go, the back mountain is a good place!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Luo Xia walked to the courtyard where he had practiced the night before with a dark expression. The power of the Ice-Ice Fruit was revealed in his hand, and half of his face was covered by a mask.

The next moment, Rorschach's ability was activated. In the courtyard where they were originally, something resembling a recliner appeared out of thin air, except that it was made of ice.

That wasn't all; Rorschach then made several chairs and a parasol.

After finishing these things, Luo Xia nodded in satisfaction. The next moment, Luo Xia sat cross-legged on the chair he had just made and then closed his eyes tightly.

In the distance, Gion's face darkened instantly as he stood up, his fists clenching involuntarily.

"This kid really knows how to enjoy himself!"

With her teeth clenched, Gion walked straight toward Rorschach. Because Gion moved very quietly, Rorschach was completely unaware of the danger approaching.

Within seconds, Gion arrived in front of Luo Xia. Seeing the slight upturn of Luo Xia's lips, he was furious. Upon closer inspection, he became even more enraged.

It turns out that while Gion was watching intently, Rorschach was actually sleeping, and doing so very discreetly.

At this moment, Gion could no longer hold back. He covered his fist with Armament Haki and threw a punch at Rorschach.

"Ah~"

"Who hit me?"

Luo Xia covered his flushed cheeks and barely opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhiyuan standing in front of him.

Luo Xia's lips twitched, and he forced a smile. "Sister Zhiyuan, you haven't left yet?"

"Hmph, brat, have you never been beaten before?"

"You were brought here to cultivate, not to go on vacation?"

"You dare to put all this stuff on me? What are you trying to do?"

Seeing Gion's cold expression, Luo Xia said helplessly, "It's so hot under the blazing sun!"

"Besides, you said that to cultivate Armament Haki, you need to calm down and feel the flow of energy in your body. If I don't do that, how can I calm down?"

"You brat, you've got a lot of fallacies up your sleeve!"

Gion really didn't expect this kid to be so eloquent; she didn't like nonsense at all.

Without saying a word, Zhiyuan drew a whip from his waist and lashed it hard against the ground. The crisp sound made Luo Xia's heart tense up.

"Hmph, now begin your cultivation. Two hours!"

"Oh, okay!" Luo Xia plopped down in the chair and closed his eyes to feel it.

"You'd better not even think about sleeping. If you accidentally fall asleep, my whip won't be merciful and might leave a welt on someone's face!" Zhiyuan said coldly.

These words startled Luo Xia, and his body trembled.

Before long, seeing that Luo Xia was really cultivating seriously, Zhiyuan looked around and then lay down on the recliner that Luo Xia had made.

It's cool and refreshing, it feels so good.

This guy is mischievous, but he's really smart; no wonder he can synthesize so many things!

At the same time, Luo Xia's eyes were closed, and his consciousness had already sunk into the system.

Before Rorschach lay a fragment emitting a dark purple light. "This is a fragment of Armament Haki?"

"Do I have to collect all 100 pieces?"

[Yes, host. The stronger one's Armament Haki, the more fragments will be generated.]

Luo Xia was no longer surprised by the system suddenly speaking.

Rorschach's consciousness reached towards the fragment of Armament Haki, and the next moment something miraculous happened.

The Armament Haki fragments actually flew towards Luo Xia's consciousness on their own and merged into his body in the blink of an eye.

"what happened?"

[Ding! Each Armament Haki fragment acquired will automatically be integrated into the host's body for the host's safety.]

Luo Xia frowned slightly and thought for a while before figuring out the reason.

If someone suddenly acquires Armament Haki, it would be strange if others didn't find it odd. It's the gradual, subtle changes that are truly reliable.

It was just a tiny bit of energy, and although Luo Xia could feel that "little bit" of energy in his body, it was of no use at all.

Therefore, a large number of fragments are still needed.

Time flew by, and two hours passed quietly. During this time, Luo Xia was still whipped, and now there is a red mark in the middle of his face, and it is very evenly divided.

Luo Xia had been cultivating for an hour when he saw that Zhiyuan had fallen asleep on the recliner, so he began to relax and fell asleep soon after.

About five minutes later, Luo Xia suddenly screamed in pain. It turned out that Zhiyuan had whipped Luo Xia directly.

As a result, Luo Xia now has to cover half of his face with an ice mask to avoid making a fool of himself, because the mark is just too ugly.

"Alright, two hours are up. Let's go to the Navy mess hall for lunch first. After we finish eating, I'll go find Admiral Kizaru and see if he'll come!"

"Okay, I got it!"

"Hmm? Why do you sound so weak?" Gion asked, puzzled.

Luo Xia pursed her lips and pointed to the mask on her face. "Have you forgotten what you just did, woman?"

"Now I have no choice but to use my abilities to cover up that mark for the time being, so as not to embarrass myself in the naval mess hall later!"

"Pfft... Hahahaha!" Gion laughed unrestrainedly.

This made Luo Xia's teeth itch; he wished he could pull out his Tiger Hunting Spear and stab him right now.

However, Lu Xia can only endure it for now; everything she does now is for the future.

"I will endure!"
