One Piece: The Strongest Swordsman

—------------

Chapter-9

—------------

But Rayleigh dodged it before the monster fist could land on him, he quickly dodged the punch even without turning around

Monster seeing he failed to land a punch, becomes irritated than before as he launches another punch towards Rayleigh but again he dodges even without looking

*Roar*

The monster becomes more irritated as he launches continuous punches at Rayleigh but Rayleigh keeps dodging punches like it's a piece of cake for me

As he opened his mouth and spoke "This is observation Haki which grants you a sixth sense that allows you to sense the presence, strength, as well as emotions of others but if you are able to master this then you will also able to see few seconds or even minutes in future"

Seeing and hearing all this, yoriichi eyes become a little wider since this is the first time he heard something like this

Rayleigh then slowly raised his hand towards the next incoming, but as the monster's fist touched Rayleigh's hand

The Monster flew back in a long distance, destroying everything in's path as a result monster got knocked out unconscious

Then Rayleigh continues to speak as he explains "This second type of haki which is also known as Armament Haki is a form of Haki that allows the user to use a person's spiritual energy to create an invisible piece of armour around that person, providing incredible offensive and defensive capabilities both to that person"

"And for now you will be learning these two types of haki, do you understand kid?" Rayleigh, as soon he finished explaining, asked this as he looked towards yoriichi

Yoriichi nodded his head even though he understood what he would be doing but he couldn't understand how he do it

Seeing such an obedient student, Rayleigh also smiled happily since his previous students weren't that obedient as he said "Then let's start"

…..

Back at the cabin…

"I finally found it!" Hancock said this in out loud tone as she finally found the fruit and pointed her finger at it in the book to show shakky

"That's interesting" shakky said as she exhaled smoke and looked at the picture that Hancock was pointing to in the book

"Listen kiddo, the thing that they make you eat is called Devil Fruit and whoever eats those will get cursed by the sea for their entire life" shakky explained as she looked at Hancock

Hearing this, Hancock nodded her head since she already knew this much after hearing that celestial dragon who forcefully fed her that fruit

Shakky again smokes as she continues to speak "but in return, the person who ate fruit will get a supernatural ability"

*sigh*

Hearing this Hancock releases a sad sigh and becomes depressed because even though she knows about this still she doesn't know what power she has and how she can use otherwise she would help yoriichi instead of just watching without helping

"Even though your devil fruit power right now may not work on many people but in future this might become your greatest weapon in future," shakky said as she saw a depressing look on Hancock's face but she couldn't help but think that this devil fruit might be best for someone like Hancock

After listening to this, Hancock's eyes showed a determined look as she stood up from her chair

"Please train me to become stronger!" she said as bowed 180° towards shakky and requested this

During this whole time, she understood one thing she needed strength to protect herself and her dear ones

Seeing her sisters like this, Sandersonia and Marigold also stood up as they bowed towards her and asked "Please help us too!"

Maybe they also understand the importance of strength as they also make the same request

Seeing her sisters like this, Hancock became surprised and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, she didn't say anything as she kept her head down

"you are asking this of the wrong person," Shakky said as pick up the empty glasses from the table and started to clean up those

Shakky continued this as she stopped looking at them and focused on her work "Ask this Rayleigh and if he agrees then we will delay our trip for a month but that's all"

"But you are a previous generation empress, you must be very strong right?" Hancock asked this as she raised her head and looked towards shakky since she didn't believe that shakky was weak otherwise she won't have become Empress

"I am but I am not the strongest in th sea, outside that island there are many other people who are alot stronger than myself, some can even destroy whole islands just for fun," shakky said as she recalled some of her memories

And continued "And not to mention I am not good at teaching but Rayleigh is both stronger and great at teaching than me since he already taught some people in past"

'That old man is really strong?' Hancock inwardly thought this since she didn't have much hope for Rayleigh and not to mention if possible then she really wanted to avoid all men due to her past experience the only exception is Yoriichi

But remembering all the bad past memories, her desire to become strong is stronger than her trauma as she finally decides to put trust in shakky words

"And if you made up your mind then you all can go to Rayleigh, he must be in nearby woods training your weird friend there" shakky spoke this without even looking at them

After hearing, this Hancock finally decided to do she looked towards her sisters and said "Let's go" and started to walk outside

Both of her sisters nodded their heads as they started to follow Hancock while they said 'thank you' to shakky and finally exited through the door
