บท 21: Chapter 20
"Haki?" Sin frowned. "Aren't there only three forms of Haki?"
"There are only three forms, but all three of them have their advanced forms," Brogy said.
"What you witnessed was one of the two Advanced forms of Armament Haki. It is called Emission." Dorry explained and then lifted his right hand for them to look at it. "Watch closely." He said and soon his hand started emanating the Blue Aura they had seen before. "Emission allows us to manifest our Inner Flow of Armament Haki outside of our Bodies in form of Aura. Which can cover parts of our bodies and weapons, and usually every person's Aura is different in color. Mine is Blue, Brogy has Red." He said and then thrust his palm towards a Volcanic Mountain that was hundreds of meters away, unleashing a destructive beam of Shockwave towards it, that destroyed the trees in its path and then struck the Volcanic Mountain, destroying a part of it as well.
The show of power shocked everyone, and they could not take their eyes off all the destruction the simple thrust of Dorry's palm had caused.
"Gegyagyagyagya..." Seeing them enchanted by his Power, Dorry laughed heartily, and his booming laughter brought them out of their trance.
"And the other form of advanced Armament Haki is called Internal Destruction." Brogy told them and then lifted his hand, slapping it on top of a giant boulder. When his hand struck it, nothing happened for a couple of seconds, but then the boulder exploded into tiny fragments with a loud boom. "As the name says, we imbued our Aura or Ryou, as it is called in Wano and Elbaf, inside a body and an object, and it causes an internal explosion, destroying it from inside."
"Wow..." Bonney whispered and her eyes sparkled in excitement. "Teach me!" She hopefully requested.
"It is not really something that can be taught." Dorry shook his head. "One needs a very High Proficiency in Armament Haki to be able to feel and freely control their Inner Flow, Ryou, to emit it outside their bodies. Once you can sense and freely control it, you will be able to learn how to utilise it yourself by practicing it. To be able to emit it out of your hands is the easiest, but it still takes a long time to achieve Mastery over it. I would suggest trying to learn to emit it out of your hands first and not focus on all of your body."
"I see..." Bonney nodded and lowered her head. She always believed that she was quite proficient in Armament Haki, having mastered both Hardening and Imbuement, but she had never felt her Ryou. It meant that she still had a long way to go, and she was determined to conquer it.
"What are the Advanced forms of Observation and Conqueror's Haki?" Robin asked the question that was looming on her mind.
"Observation Haki is quite complicated. It has four Basic Techniques, and only someone who has Mastery over all four of them can unlock the Advanced Technique. The four basic Techniques are Presence Sensing, Emotion Sensing, Intent Sensing, and Strength Sensing. With Presence Sensing, you can see things that are concealed from your eyes, and hear things that are out of your normal range of hearing. Emotion Sensing allows you to sense and feel the other person's Emotions. Intent Sensing allows you to sense the Intentions of the people around you. And Strength Sensing allows you to understand the difference in the strengths of people when compared to yourself." Brogy smiled and waited for them to understand what he was trying to say. "It is extremely rare for someone to be able to have complete Mastery over all four of them, and even both of us have not achieved such a level of Observation Haki yet. We have so far not been able to achieve a balance. But we know what the Advanced Form of Observation Haki allows a user to do."
"The Advanced Form of Observation Haki is Future Vision," Dorry said and smirked when he saw their eyes widen in surprise. "Yes, it allows you to peek into the Future, albeit only for a short period of time."
"That's outrageous!" Bepo exclaimed, realising how dangerous such a Power could prove in a battle.
"Gegyagyagyagya..."
"Gabababababa..."
Both the Giants burst out laughing when they heard Bepo's words, but then nodded their heads.
"True. It is outrageous." Brogy again nodded his head.
"But not as Outrageous as what the Conqueror's Haki is capable of." Dorry looked at Sin, Robin, and Hancock before leaning back against the cliff and looking at the Sky. "There are scriptures in Elbaf, that call the Conqueror's Haki a blessing as well as a curse." He lightly whispered, and then stayed silent.
"Why is that so?" Sin frowned.
"You will find out for yourself one day." Dorry glanced at him and smiled. "But let's talk about the Techniques a Conqueror Haki User possesses."
"Unlike other forms of Haki, you can only learn or more specifically, unlock, each basic Technique step by step," Brogy informed them. "And know that those possessing Conqueror's Haki are born with it. It is not present in everyone. And everyone that possesses it has the potential to become a Ruler." He mystically spoke.
"The first Basic Technique is Intimidation, which allows the User to dominate over those weaker than them, and deter them," Dorry spoke. "Once you have sufficient control over it, you unlock the next stage, which is called Incapacitation. It allows you to knock out people with weaker Will Power compared to yours. A very dangerous ability."
"And once you have sufficient control over Incapacitation, you can unlock the final Basic Technique, which is simply addressed as the Presence or Pressure. Your Will emits from your body, not only affecting living things but also harming inanimate objects. It is usually invisible, but once the Presence of two Conquerors clashes, it can be seen in form of thin lighting-like streams of colored energy that crackle, trying to overpower their opponent. This energy is capable of affecting the surroundings, causing shockwaves that can blow away all the flora and fauna of the land, and even influence the weather around the users, bringing storms, or splitting the clouds in the skies. Weak-Willed people even die if they are caught in the vicinity where two Conquerors are clashing against each other."
Brogy's explanation made all their hearts palpitate in fear. Even if they had seen Sin, Hancock, and Robin use it, the three of them had never gone into details explaining what their Power was truly capable of achieving.
Hancock and Robin learned a lot, understanding where they currently stood in the Conqueror's Haki Proficiency, but Sin did not seem surprised and his mind was lost in some other thoughts.
"One of the Advanced forms of Conqueror's Haki is Infusion. Quite similar to Armament Haki, but different in principles. It allows you to Infuse your Conquering Will in your Weapon and your attacks, giving your Attacks a tremendous boost in Power. And your Attacks do not necessarily have to make contact with a body to deal damage to it. The stronger your Will Power, the stronger would be the Boost in Power that you can achieve." Dorry informed them.
"That's... unfair." Nojiko frowned as she thought over the consequences of someone possessing such a Power. "Doesn't that mean that the ones possessing it are bound to be stronger than anyone else? How can others even hope to contend with such people?"
"Gegyagyagyagya..." Dorry laughed at her words, and Brogy only smiled brightly.
"Life is unfair, little girl." The Red Ogre bluntly said. "But even those born with it may not be able to utilise their true Potential. Yes, it is true that if they don't take it for granted, they can achieve heights where no one else can even think of catching up to them, but only a handful of such people have ever existed in History. One should always have the Will to stand against anyone, even if it is the Heavens they are up against. If you convince yourself that you are weak because someone has an unfair advantage over you, you would forever remain weak."
"And if your Will is weak, then such people will be able to easily dominate over you." Dorry seriously said and looked her in the eyes. "And it is not like they are invincible." He smirked. "Those that reach for the Heavens, usually fall to their demise."
"What do you mean?" Kuina curiously asked.
"Want to know what the glaring weakness of a Conqueror Haki User is?" Brogy mischievously said.
"Yes!" The unified reply of their Crew made Sin, Robin, and Hancock let out their chuckles.
"It is their Conquering Will," Dorry said. "If they come across something that they have to overcome, and they fail even after giving their best, their Conquering Will becomes less potent. With every loss that they take and can not get over, their potential diminishes. And all of them are crazy in their own right."
"But isn't that the case with every person?" Law frowned.
"True." Brogy nodded his head to his words. "But it is far worse for those possessing the Will of Conquerors." He explained, making them all fall into deep thought.
"Are there more Advanced Forms of Conqueror's Haki?" Sin suddenly asked, looking Dorry right in the eyes.
The Giant stayed silent for a couple of minutes, before eventually nodding his head.
"There are." He smiled lightly and cut them off before they could ask what they were. "If you want to know more about Conqueror's Will, reach Elbaf and look through the scriptures present in the Temple of Pride. But know that if you do not belong to the Giant Clans, you would only be allowed inside the Temple if you are a True Conqueror."
"True Conqueror?" Sin devilishly smiled at his words, and nodded. "By the way, how beautiful is Elbaf?" He changed the subject and smiled brightly when Dorry and Brogy fondly told them about their home.
And everything they learned only made them yearn more to see Elbaf for themselves.
