Chapitre 4: Chapter 4 Shanks' A-Level Talent, Conqueror's Haki!
In the mountains!
A hidden valley.
Burning bonfires, camps with wooden houses and tents, and noisy laughter.
Higuma held the wine bottle, patted Leno on the shoulder, grinned, and said, "Leno, you did a good job today!"
His nose was red, and his steps were staggering. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot.
"You are already a qualified bandit. Come on, everyone, have a drink for Leno!"
"Drink!"
All the bandits raised their glasses one after another.
Leno followed suit, took a sip seemingly heroically, but didn't drink it down, letting the wine flow out of the corner of his mouth.
He's already copied Shanks' Conqueror's Haki talent, so it doesn't make much sense to stay with Higuma and his bandits.
In addition, with the arrogance of this group of people.
As long as he's still around, he'll definitely be fighting the Red Hair Pirates. And will Shanks hold back then?
So, he was ready to run.
Leno calmed down and blended into the celebration.
The bandits, drunk, began to dance around the bonfire, and the barbecue on the shelf exuded a tempting aroma.
In Leno's peripheral vision, he noticed Barry, the cadre in charge of the outpost, looking their way eagerly.
Leno glanced at Higuma again. He and a dozen bandits were gathered at the long table outside the wooden house, gambling.
These bandits are the backbone of the group, always getting the most money during robberies.
Tonight is the best chance to get rid of Higuma's bandits.
Leno opened the system interface.
Host Name: Leno
Real Age: 17 years old
Existing Talents: Smart Tongue, Big Eater, Conqueror's Haki
Strength Evaluation: You are still a rookie, but you have the posture of a king. Hang on, boy, the future is yours.
Leno squinted slightly. He could feel an inexplicable and unknown power in his body. As long as he wants to, he can release that power, but he can't control it.
Leno took a sip of his drink, got up, took the wine bottle, and climbed up to the sentry tower in the canopy.
"Leno, what are you doing here?" Barry asked.
"Hey, Brother Barry, I'll help you keep watch. In exchange, how about you teach me how to throw dice?"
"Stinky boy, do you know how to keep watch?"
"Why not? Besides, who can find us here?"
"Then, you can keep an eye on it!"
"Don't worry!"
It's only been five days since Leno joined the bandits, but he has already noted the people who need attention.
Barry's strength ranks among the top five, and he is one of the people Higuma trusts most. But he has obvious weaknesses. He is addicted to alcohol, gambling, and greedy for petty gains. He naturally wanted to participate in the current excitement, but it was his turn to watch tonight.
Wouldn't he be happy if someone took his place?
Although Leno is a newcomer, his performance in the past few days, killing and beating people, has already won their trust. Besides, bandits have no discipline at all.
Barry excitedly descended the tree, grabbed a bottle of wine, and joined the gambling table.
Leno stayed in the tree, seeing what Seeger had said to him, the cadre at the same table glanced at him twice. Leno stood dutifully.
"This guy is a bandit!" Barry commented, pulling Higuma and the others to place a bet.
Leno looked at the wooden house, where gold and jewels robbed by the bandits were kept. He had been inside once; it was estimated at 100 million Berries.
Since he was leaving, how could he go without some travel expenses?
Leno waited for about half an hour, exhaled, and stretched out his hand to pull the big warning bell.
"What happened?"
The bell rang, making the bandits confused.
Leno shouted: "Enemy attack, I saw the enemy, ah..."
He screamed, seemed to be attacked, and fell.
"Leno?"
"Is there an enemy?"
The lively camp suddenly panicked.
Leno at the watchtower stared, and in the next moment, an invisible threat spread around him.
The world became silent, the leaves and sparks seemed to be frozen, completely suppressed by a mysterious force.
The bandits in the camp suddenly lost consciousness, deprived of the power to think, and fell into a fainting field.
Plop!
A bandit fell. This seemed to cause a chain reaction; one after another, the bandits fell down.
"Hey, you..."
Higuma saw his subordinates fall down one after another, feeling the inexplicable terror, sweating profusely. He supported the table with his hands and vaguely saw someone approaching. He didn't see who it was and slid under the table.
"This thing is really useful!" Leno marveled.
Conqueror's Haki! King's qualifications. People who have Conqueror's Haki can intimidate, deter, and stun enemies relying on their own "spirit" without making a move. It can also stun opponents who are much weaker than themselves. But if it is not well controlled, it will implicate the people around. On the contrary, if Haki reaches a higher level, it can achieve a coercive effect or cause substantial damage.
Leno hasn't trained yet. But his Conqueror's Haki, derived from Shanks, has an A-level strength, definitely surpassing those who have just awakened. The current Shanks is not the future Emperor, and his strength cannot reach the top. If it were a few years later, it must be SSS class!
The whole camp was quiet.
"Haki will be consumed. Physical strength and energy cannot keep up, but it is a burden."
Leno wiped his sweat, feeling tired. He grabbed a piece of meat on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
Big Eater talent activates. Food makes his physical strength and energy recover faster.
Hurry up, lest the bandits wake up.
Leno found the key from Higuma and opened the lock of the wooden house. The cabin was dark. Leno lit the torch, went to the back room, pulled out the treasure box from the hidden compartment under the bed, and opened a box full of gold ornaments and jewelry.
He laughed and whistled. He pulled the tablecloth, wrapped the treasure box, and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a bigger box in the corner.
"Higuma is a good guy!" Leno babbled.
He opened the big box. There was no gold, silver, or jewelry in it, only some sundries. Leno picked up a dusty book in the box.
"K Rogge's logbook?"
Curious, Leno opened it and found that it was a sailing diary of an adventurer named "K Rogge." He was from the Kingdom of Oykot, an adventurer sent by the royal family. He was caught in a storm on the way to the Grand Line.
Leno found a chart of East Blue in the box again.
"Barry mentioned that they once killed a group of pirates and robbed a lot of things. This is probably from that time."
"If you want to go to sea, nautical charts and logbooks are very important things. Good luck."
Leno wrapped these two items, put them on his body, carried the treasure chest on his back, held the torch in one hand, and the sword in the other.
As soon as he came outside, he felt a warning sign in his heart. Almost instinctively, he raised the sword to block the sudden slash, and the huge force shook him back.
"Despicable fellow!"
Leno was surprised: "Higuma, you woke up!?"
