章 73: Chapter 73: The Devil's biggest lie!
"Zi zi zi!!"
The sound of thousands of birds chirping echoed through the forest.
Utilizing the remaining Chakra within his body, Yu decisively unleashed the Chidori.
A large amount of dazzling thunderous electric current condensed on the palm covered with black Armament Haki, presenting an exceptionally eerie and splendid appearance.
After coming out of the Hidden Sand Village, he had been on the run for three days, battling the pursuit and assassination forces of Sand alone until now.
Even if Yu's physical strength and Chakra were strong, at this moment, he was at the end of his strength, especially considering the long journey ahead to cross the Land of Rivers and reach the Land of Fire.
So, with the next attack, he must completely take down the Scorch Release Ninja Pafuka in front of him!
"I've never seen such Ninjutsu..."
"To actually concentrate such a large amount of Lightning Release Chakra in the hand?!"
Looking at the astonishing power of Chidori released by Yu in front of him, Pafuka tightly gripped the giant blade in his hand, and his fierce eyes were filled with complexity and determination, "If you manage to successfully escape the Wind Country..."
"Perhaps in the future, you will become a prominent figure in the ninja world?"
Pafuka was well aware that the next move would be the moment of life and death between himself and the white-haired youth in front of him.
"Unfortunately, you won't live to see that day..."
With calm words spoken, just as the leaves were falling in front of him, Yu made his move.
With a thunderous sound that shattered the ground beneath his feet, he transformed into a streak of lightning, sprinting forward.
So fast!
Facing Yu, whose entire body's cells had been activated to the utmost by Lightning Release Chakra, Pafuka's eyes flashed with a hint of horror.
Immediately, gritting his teeth, he raised the giant blade in his hand and directly charged forward.
When paths cross, only an unwavering belief in victory can allow the last person standing to survive!
"Boom!"
A muffled collision echoed.
The two sprinting figures finally fiercely collided, but quickly brushed past each other.
At the border between the Wind Country and the Land of Rivers, in the forest of falling cherry blossoms.
Yu and the Scorch Release Ninja Pafuka stood several meters apart, facing away from each other. The small figure and the towering one formed a stark contrast.
"That really hurts..."
"But at least it's over."
Bowing his head to look at the wound on his chest cut by the ninja tool, a relaxed expression appeared on Yu's face.
"Bang!"
As Yu's words fell, the tall figure of Scorch Release Ninja Pafuka, standing not far behind him, collapsed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
A continuously bleeding hole had appeared in his chest—Yu's Chidori had pierced through his heart.
"So exhausted!"
After finally annihilating the Sand pursuit force, Yu, looking disheveled, sat down unceremoniously on the ground.
...
"About Haki... Don't you plan to explain it to me, Devil?"
Recalling the Observation Haki and Armament Haki he had awakened during the battle, Yu questioned Devil.
"You've already figured it out, haven't you? What else is there to explain?" Faced with Yu's questioning, Devil inside him rolled her eyes. "Your body has been reconstructed by my Devil Law. Your body is already different from the people in this world. Awakening abilities like Haki during battle is not that strange, is it?"
"What about Conquerors Haki?" Listening to Devil's completely irresponsible explanation, Yu helplessly asked, "Am I going to awaken such an outrageous ability too?"
Thinking about the legendary Conquerors Haki, imagining himself shaking the battlefield with overwhelming king's aura, and enemies falling around him, Yu couldn't help but start to fantasize.
Conquerors Haki is the Haki in One Piece that only one in millions may possibly awaken—a Haki for those with the qualifications of a king standing above the masses. Unlike Color of Arms and Observation, even if Conquerors can be controlled freely, it cannot be strengthened through training. It can only be reinforced through the personal growth of the user.
This is an inherent spirit that cannot be acquired through postnatal cultivation but is determined by one's fate. In the entire world of "One Piece," those who can possess Conquerors Haki are few and far between.
"Conqueror, huh..."
"With your qualifications, perhaps you might awaken it in the future, but it's not a certainty."
Sensing Yu's reverie, Devil, with its perennially lazy and charming voice, directly dispelled his thoughts.
"But rather than the elusive Conqueror, you should focus on mastering Color of Arms and Observational Haki first."
"After all, in this world, these two are the true abilities that can help you in battle in the early stages."
After pouring cold water on Yu's aspirations, Devil explained further.
"For instance, Observational Haki in its initial stage allows you to foresee danger, predict your opponent's next moves, and discern their positions. In the second stage, you can expand the range of perception and catch glimpses of the future. In the third stage, you can attain the ability to hear the voices of all things, reading the deepest thoughts and secrets in others' minds..."
"Armament Haki, in its initial stage, can be wrapped around weapons or hardened on one's body part to enhance power and defense. In the second stage, Armament Haki can cover the entire body, achieving full-body reinforcement. The third stage allows the user to chanel their Haki and use it to attack while ignoring the enemy's defense!"
This... this is so incredible?!
After listening to Devil's explanation, Yu stared blankly with his mouth wide open. He had never known that Observation Haki and Armament Haki had such clear level distinctions.
"So..."
"Train diligently; currently, your Haki is only at the initial stage."
Watching Yu's dumbfounded expression, Devil sarcastically struck him.
"Also, there's another matter."
After Devil finished speaking, Yu suddenly looked serious.
"What matter?"
Seeing Yu's solemn expression, Devil couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Why did you lie to me?"
"How did I lie to you?"
The Devil inside his body looked confused.
"It's so obvious that you're a flat-chested loli. Why lie to me and say you're a busty mature woman?"
With a righteous expression, Yu continued to question her.
Upon hearing this, the Devil within Yu felt both angry and embarrassed.
"When did I ever tell you I'm a busty mature woman! You're just having your own wild fantasies... Besides, I'll grow up eventually..."
At this point, the Devil's formerly cold and arrogant voice suddenly became as soft as a mosquito. "You're so annoying..."
"Though it's not quite as I imagined, this is fine too."
"After all, true feelings exist in the world, and flat-chested lolis can be cute too..."
!
Yu was seen, with a faint smile on his lips, comforting the Devil inside him, and he gradually walked towards the depths of the forest.
"Go to hell!"
Under the evening twilight, with the setting sun casting its golden glow, no one could see a bewitching black-haired girl within Yu's body, baring her fangs and claws.
