One Piece, I will gather the faith

Hearing such exciting and inspiring words, Luffy and Sanji couldn't help but look over together.

In their sight, it was the laughing Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach and the three people behind him, including Van Oka.

Sanji was a thoughtful person, and he saw at a glance that Blackbeard and others were not good people, and his brows could not help but frown.

It's not Sanji's fault, it's true that the appearance is determined by the heart, and he is true in any world. Blackbeard looked fierce, and the first impression he gave people was not very good.

However, Luffy was born with face blindness.

Or, he never judged people by their appearance. At this time, he heard someone affirm his dream and even encouraged himself to be firm in his dream. For a while, he thought he had found a confidant.

"Uncle, do you think I can become the Pirate King?" Luffy greeted with a smile.

"Hahahahaha..."

Blackbeard laughed up to the sky, "Becoming the Pirate King can be everyone's dream, and I think the man who can become the Pirate King must be me!"

Luffy was furious when he heard it, and his only good impression was gone, and he glared at her.

You know, becoming the Pirate King is his dream since he was a child, and he has made countless efforts for it. How could he give it to someone else?

"I am the man who will become the Pirate King!" Luffy said with his hands on his waist, "The Pirate King must be me!"

"It's me!" Blackbeard said unwillingly.

"It's me!"

"It's me!"

......

The two of them started arguing, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Sanji and Van Oka were watching from the side, and they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, Sanji still instinctively felt that these four people must have bad intentions, and soon after, he interrupted Luffy and Blackbeard's dispute.

He asked Blackbeard and his gang: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Thief hahaha..." Blackbeard laughed again, and then said: "I heard that this is the territory of the famous God's Priest, Winx Lake? We came here specifically to meet him."

Blackbeard's voice directly alarmed the guardian knight on duty. Hearing that someone was going to visit Lake, he came over to find out the situation.

"Who are you? Is there anything important for the priest?

"Brother, we came here from the Grand Line specifically to meet your priest. Please inform us. "Van Oka still had some brains, he grabbed Blackbeard and stepped forward.

He was also afraid that Blackbeard was used to being arrogant, and he would cause a conflict for no reason, thus alerting the enemy.

After all, there were only four of them at the moment.

Although they all thought they were strong, facing Lake who was in the limelight recently, they still wanted to take him by surprise and save trouble.

Blackbeard had long believed that Lake was a Devil Fruit user. In his opinion, it was too exaggerated for him to be so strong at such a young age.

He combined the things Lake did to protect civilians, which were He thought it was meaningless and thought it must be related to the power of the fruit. He further deduced that faith was the reason why Lake became stronger.

He did guess right, but it was useless!

The Navy and the World Government also guessed that it was faith, but they knew that it was not the power of the devil fruit. So the Navy did not act rashly.

Unfortunately, Blackbeard didn't know and thought that Lake relied on the power of the fruit.

At this time, he was still relying on himself to be the nemesis of all fruit power users, dreaming of catching Lake off guard.

And Lake had just finished practicing his Observation Haki.

In order to awaken his Observation Haki, he had been in the Illusionary Realm, in a 10-fold time flow rate, and had been in seclusion for 2 months.

During this time in the Illusionary Realm, he had been blindfolded and fought with No. 1 with all his strength. Or it would be more appropriate to say that he was doing his best to resist the full-strength attack from No. 1.

Because No. 1 was made of special materials and his body was extremely hard, even if Lake, who was wrapped in Armament Haki, was hit, he would feel a little pain. He was really an indestructible weapon, a true humanoid weapon.

Each of its punches and kicks made a loud noise, like an explosion.

Of course, it was definitely not an explosion.

Scientifically speaking, this is the sonic boom produced when the speed exceeds that of sound.

However, if you think about it carefully, you will know.

How much power is needed to support a punch at such a speed.

Perhaps most people don't have this concept.

Because this is something that is simply impossible to do in the conventional world, and even in the pirate world, there are very few people who can do it. Who is this number one compared to Garp in his prime?It's hard to say whether he is stronger or not.

It's not that No.1's strength exceeds that of the admiral, but he is a pure burst of power. In terms of strength alone, he is definitely stronger than the admiral.

Facing his bombardment, even if Lake's body has been tempered by the full body of Armament Color, he has to dodge carefully.

Because, if you get hit, it really hurts. And Lake didn't wrap his whole body with Armament Color.

So why doesn't Lake use Armament Color to harden his whole body?

It's very simple. If that's the case, what's the point of training.

Anyway, getting hit is just like that. What motivation is there to predict and resist?

So, all along, his Armament Color domineering only covers the fist part. And what he has to do is to predict the direction of the attack and resist with his fist.

At the beginning, Lake was always hit by No.1's indestructible fist, which was very painful.

After all, he is not a masochist, and he certainly can't stand the bombardment without a breath every moment.

Fortunately, the temptation of the Observation Haki finally overcame the resistance in his heart and did not let him give up halfway.

He fought with No. 1 for about a month and officially awakened his Observation Haki. He didn't know how he awakened it at the beginning, and he felt confused.

All he did was to cover his eyes and concentrate on guessing the direction of the attack, hoping not to be hit. Even at the beginning, he just hoped not to be hit in the face.

He kept guessing the landing point of the fist and resisted the vital parts.

As he was hit more and more times, his desire to block the attack became stronger and stronger.

I don't know when No. 1's fist hit Lake less and less. In the end, Lake could even instinctively know where the attack would come from in the next moment.

At that time, he knew that this was the awakening of Observation Haki.

But when did it start?

He had no impression at all.

In the end, he could only sigh at the magic of the Creator, who allowed people to evolve continuously in extreme environments and adapt to the environment.

He was also more convinced that these miraculous abilities could not be replicated in batches, because it was really impossible to describe this state of awakening, difficult to describe and record, and could only be attributed to people with strong qualifications.

Everyone has different qualifications, different tolerances, and even more different psychological qualities. Therefore, even in the same training ground and under the same conditions, the probability of awakening of the observation Haki will be a thousand miles apart.

Fortunately, Lake had such a venue, with super physical skills and strong generals constantly bombarding him. He kept feeling the attacks, and it only took a month in the end.

He did not relax after awakening, he knew that this skill had different levels.

So, he still endured the bombardment of No. 1.

It was not until another month later that he was truly able to use it completely at his fingertips, and there was no lag in using it, just like instinct.

That's how he withdrew from the Fantasy Realm.

It was at this time that he wanted to feel the magic of the observation Haki, and he felt the quarrel between Luffy and Blackbeard.

Although he could not feel who it was through the observation Haki, Blackbeard's magical laughter and the motto like a life mentor were too recognizable. As a fan of One Piece, how could he not hear it?

However, he was very curious, why did Blackbeard come to the East China Sea? He still had to come to see him specially.

After a little thought, he seemed to guess.

It must be his unfounded fruit ability!

Otherwise, Blackbeard came to the East China Sea from the Grand Line for nothing, after all, it is not close to the Frost Kingdom after passing through the Calm Belt.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
