"And you will sign over there." Kairo could be seen tutoring Lilly on something. She was seen writing down some Kanji.
"Your calligraphy is quite good," he would comment, to which she seemed happy.
"I have been tutored on it since I was a kid," she would say. He nodded—made sense, she was a princess.
"The last step is to pour your haki into it."
"Haki?" She seemed confused. He tilted his head.
"Haki." He would say, using armament haki to strengthen his arms.
She still looked confused. Damn, he forgot people couldn't see it. He used a minor genjutsu, messing with her senses a bit. There—she saw it. His fist was black with a light taint of orange, like an inferno.
"Is this haki?" she would question.
"Heh, what haki?" A dumb voice behind him could be heard saying. He looked at Luffy, who seemed confused.
"Haki is something you need to actually make it in the Grand Line or the New World. It allows you to actually hit logia users. There are 3 types of it: basic armament—" As he said those words, he also casted them in a genjutsu, making them able to see what he wanted them to see.
"Observation haki, which basically allows you to sense intent and dodge accordingly. And conqueror's haki—though only a few people possess it—it allows you to subdue people with weaker will."
"Oh, so that's what you used back then," Luffy would say, grinning. So this ninja had conqueror's haki... how fun.
"TL;DR, Vivi, you need to at least be able to pour some haki into the ink for it to work."
"Is the training to achieve haki hard?" was her question. He shrugged.
"Well, it took me half a year to get the basics."
She seemed down. She didn't have that much time.
"But I had to figure it out as I went. But hey, you have me, maybe you can learn faster. The fastest way to awaken haki, however, is through battle—where your life is on the line—which we shall not do. I can always try and pass my haki through you and see what that does... if you want, of course."
"Yeah, let's try that." She seemed eager. Wonder why—it's not like sealing was all that major.
"Strip."
"Heh!?"
"You dirty pervert, how dare you try and get Vivi-san to strip!" Kairo looked confused, tilting his head a bit. Why was he being called a pervert? He was like 25 mentally, and she was 16 years old. He viewed her more as a little sister and a patient than anything else. Why was Sanji calling him a perv?
"It's easier to feel the flow like that. That way she could feel it from her every pore. I mean, it's not required if she doesn't want to—she could just say no." He looked confused.
"Don't give me that bullshit excuse, no one's buying it. You just wanted Vivi-san to strip!"
"Not everyone's like you, swirly brows," Zoro would say, looking at Sanji.
"Shut up, mosshead!"
"Who you calling mosshead, dirty cook?"
"You heard me, wannabe swordsman."
Ussop meanwhile looked at Sanji. This guy was calling Kairo a pervert, yet he was bleeding from the nose. The heck? Wasn't he the one being the perv here?
"I wanna learn it too," Luffy would say, smiling.
"Sure. When we land on Drum Island, I can fight you," Kairo would say, shrugging.
"See, he's a pervert. Why not tell Luffy to strip too?" Sanji would say, seemingly clinging to any hope of his slander.
"Because Luffy is a brawler, and his learning type is more 'learn as we fight.' For Vivi, she's more analytical—she can analyze the feeling and be able to recognize it for herself. This requires thinking—intense thinking. Meanwhile with Luffy, well..."
Sanji looked at Luffy, opened his mouth... then closed it again. Touché.
"Hey, I can think," Luffy would retort, to which Kairo would smile as if to say, sure you do.
"Guys, there is an island up ahead," Ussop would say, looking toward the north. Kairo nodded. Maybe this was the Drum Island those guys were talking about.
"We can start later," he would say, his gaze on the island. They should arrive in 6 or so minutes, give or take.
His brow furrowed.
"It seems like every villager is gathered at the port, and they're all with weapons. Seems like they're on edge about another pirate raid."
He frowned for a bit before opening his hand. As he did so, the blue-haired guy he dropped in the ocean a couple of minutes ago appeared in his hand.
The guy was passed out.
How the fuck did he get that guy on the ship? That was simple—he marked him. Anything he marked, he could teleport to them at any given moment, no matter the time of day. As for distance, he currently couldn't teleport more than a kilometer away. But if he placed a seal at intervals of 1 kilometer each, he could get there.
Though... that would be a lot of fucking work.
