Hals suddenly felt puzzled, unsure of why.
But he didn’t dwell on it.
Hals was the kind of person who accepted things as they came. In short, he was someone who didn’t bother thinking about things he couldn’t understand.
You could say he was a bit of a laid-back person.
However, when it came to training, he was very diligent.
Hals had something in common with Bullet from the movie “One Piece: Stampede”: both believed that personal strength was the most important. The difference was that Bullet thought having companions was a burden, while Hals wanted to become strong enough to protect his companions.
That was the difference between Hals and Bullet.
Of course, Hals couldn’t beat Bullet.
Meanwhile, in Foosha Village…
Garp knew Sabo was dead, but Hals didn’t. After upgrading his light magic to level three, Hals could resurrect people. At level two, he could use parts of a person’s body, like hair, eyes, skin, or nails, to determine if they were dead.
Hals hadn’t upgraded his light magic to level two yet.
It didn’t seem particularly necessary right now.
Garp didn’t force his grandsons to join the Marines; he just spent time talking with them.
Ace and Luffy felt like Garp had changed somehow but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
They asked about Hals, and things seemed to be going well.
Hals could now use two of the Marine’s Rokushiki techniques.
“Which two? I remember there are six, called Rokushiki,” Luffy asked Garp, who was suddenly puzzled.
How did Luffy know about Rokushiki?
Who told Luffy?
“Luffy, how do you know about Rokushiki?”
Garp’s eyes widened as he looked at Luffy.
This didn’t seem like something his grandson would know.
Could it be…
This isn’t my grandson?
Is this some Devil Fruit user disguised as my grandson?
“It was Hals. Hals told us,” Ace interrupted Garp’s wild thoughts.
“Hals divided Rokushiki into three categories: attack, defense, and speed.”
“Attack includes Shigan and Rankyaku. Defense includes Tekkai and Kami-e. Speed includes Soru and Geppo.”
“Which ones does Hals know? Hals said Soru and Geppo are the most useful, and the others don’t matter.”
Garp had a headache, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.
How did Hals know about these things before joining the Marines? His family must be extraordinary.
That’s what Garp thought.
However, Garp didn’t hide anything and told them Hals had learned Soru and Kami-e.
“Hals said Geppo and Soru are the strongest Rokushiki techniques. Why learn Kami-e?” Luffy didn’t understand.
“Luffy, for Hals, Geppo isn’t particularly important because he can already fly. But Kami-e is a powerful skill that Hals needs,” Ace explained.
Among Rokushiki, the attack techniques Shigan and Rankyaku were considered weak, and Tekkai was too since it only allowed you to take hits while standing still. In the original story, Tekkai was often broken through.
Unknown Marine: “Tekkai!”
Enemy: “One punch.”
Unknown Marine fainted.
Of course, Tekkai wasn’t weak.
Tekkai had variations like Tekkai Go, the strongest defense, and Tekkai Utsugi, which could reflect attacks back to the opponent. The stronger the opponent’s attack, the greater the reflection.
That is, if you can withstand it.
Additionally, Tekkai could be localized, not completely immobilizing you. There was also Jabra, who could use Tekkai Kenpo, allowing normal movement while maintaining Tekkai.
Hals found this very practical. If he could learn Tekkai and use Tekkai Kenpo, it would be very powerful.
However, Hals wasn’t interested in asking Jabra. Whether Jabra still knew Tekkai was a different matter.
And Jabra wasn’t part of the Marines but the World Government.
Garp was speechless.
What had Hals told them?
Even Rokushiki was starting to be dismissed.
This was something that required a superhuman physique to learn.
Or rather, learning Rokushiki made you superhuman, a strong fighter beyond ordinary humans, not someone who could deflect bullets, fly, or shoot lasers from their eyes.
“Soru enhances speed, Geppo allows easy movement through difficult terrain, and Kami-e lets you dodge attacks. The others, Hals said, are useless.”
“Tekkai can be replaced by Armament Haki. After hardening with Armament Haki, you don’t need Tekkai. Shigan and Rankyaku just add more attack methods and power, that’s all.”
“These things can always be replaced.”
“Hals thinks Fishman Karate is more powerful than Shigan and Rankyaku. It can manipulate water currents, which complements Hals’ water magic well. Hals wants to learn Fishman Karate but plans to finish Rokushiki first because mastering it can lead to techniques like Seimei Kikan and Rokuogan.”
Garp: “…”
These things are at least close to the New World. Hals doesn’t seem ordinary.
Suddenly, Garp felt Hals’ background was complicated, especially since his family had been wiped out by a pirate crew.
It was probably a big-time pirate.
But it didn’t matter. Hals, grandpa will always stand by you. You don’t need to be afraid or worry.
Hals didn’t know Garp had come up with strange ideas.
He didn’t care about that pirate crew.
They were just a crew without Devil Fruits, and their martial arts and swordsmanship weren’t strong.
There was nothing to be afraid of.
Hals could easily defeat them.
Meanwhile, Hals was thinking.
Let me think, how can I piss people off?
I’ve almost forgotten most of what I read in “The King’s Avatar” and “I Am a Big Player.”
Suddenly, Hals had a new idea.
Hals had a bold idea.
