While Kane and Kaido were talking, on the other side of the world, a group of people were also discussing them.
Above the Red Line.
Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.
This is the center of world power.
"Heavenly Scourge… Kane?"
A man in a black suit, with white curly hair, a fluffy white beard, and a black flat hat, one of the Gorosei, Warrior God of Science and Defense, Satan Saint, spoke indifferently: "What a greedy fellow."
"That doesn't matter. We have plenty of resources to fill their stomachs. Their barren minds can't even imagine how wealthy we are, having ruled the world for eight hundred years."
The man in a white robe, bald, and wearing glasses, Warrior God of Finance, Nasjuro Saint, stood by the window, looking at the distant scenery, a cursed sword named Shodai Kitetsu held in his hand:
"My only concern is that that kid's Devil Fruit has never been recorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia."
Ever since the World Government was established, they have tirelessly recorded the Devil Fruits that appeared on the sea.
The internal data of the Celestial Dragons even contains records from eight hundred years ago.
When it comes to understanding Devil Fruits, no one knows more clearly than them.
But Kane's Berry ability seemed to have suddenly appeared.
Unknown means risk.
"Let's observe first. Although the ability Kane displayed in that battle was powerful, it did not exceed our imagination."
The Warrior God of Justice, Worcury Saint, in a dark green suit, bald, with two inverted-V shaped mustaches, concluded: "For eight hundred years, geniuses have appeared on the sea like carps crossing a river, but in the end, weren't we the ones who triumphed?"
"Even Rocks, as strong as he was, we were still able to extinguish his lamp of life."
...
Onigashima.
"Phew~ Say, say, why do I have to train too! I'm clearly supposed to be the lookout."
Violet was wearing a specially made weighted suit, running on the dirt road at the edge of Onigashima, sweating profusely, panting, her throat feeling like it was on fire.
Such high intensity right from the start was too painful for her, a princess who had been pampered since childhood.
"If you're too weak, I'll be very troubled. Don't forget, you are now a member of the Emperor Pirates! Your opponents are all famous figures on the sea."
Kane, wearing a special Sea Stone bracelet on his wrist and dragging a special steel ingot behind him, had already lapped Violet twice, catching up and panting: "You're my companion. If someone kills you, I'll be very sad."
His ship's cadres must have a certain level of strength.
Even Nami, the weakest combatant in the Straw Hat Pirates, will be able to compete with Cracker and Ulti in the future.
Behind Kane, Yamato, similarly dressed, charged over with great momentum, surpassing Kane.
"Hahahaha, Kane, I'm going to win!"
"It's still too early!"
Kane quickened his pace to catch up, leaving only Violet deep in thought.
Companion?
At this moment, Koizumi, also wearing a weighted suit, chased from behind.
Her face was pale but her steps did not stop, she passed Violet: "Keep it up."
Violet quickened her pace and walked alongside Koizumi, looking at the resolute woman in front of her, she asked curiously: "And why are you doing this? Aren't you Kane's personal maid?"
"Me? Fighting? Is that okay?"
Koizumi smiled slightly, recalling the conversation Kane had with her last night.
"Koizumi, do you want to fight alongside me?"
"Me? Fighting? Is that okay?"
"Why not give it a try? I think your physical fitness is quite good."
Thinking of this, a suspicious blush appeared on Koizumi's delicate face.
The words were good, but the conversation scene was not very healthy.
After running three laps around Onigashima, Violet and Koizumi met Kane and Yamato, who had already finished ten laps, in Onigashima's cafeteria.
"This time, I'm definitely going to eat more food than you!"
Yamato's cheeks were puffed out, like a hamster hoarding nuts.
"You can challenge that too?"
Kane shook his head and sighed, his words full of disdain, but his hands were not slow at all: "However, I won't lose either!"
The small mountain of food beside them disappeared at a visible speed.
However, besides ordinary food, there was also a plate of meteorite fragments next to Kane.
Half an hour later, Kane and Yamato almost simultaneously finished their food, holding their big bellies and exclaiming: "Phew~ So full!"
"Next up is the next event! Challenging Kaido!"
Yamato raised her hand and shouted.
Yes, Kaido finally decided to fulfill his promise to Kane.
Teaching Haki!
This time, Violet and Koizumi didn't need to participate.
Only Kane and Yamato were qualified to attend Teacher Kai's small class.
Leaving the cafeteria, green light bloomed, and Kane instantly transformed into a giant emerald green divine dragon.
Without Kane needing to speak, Yamato leaped up familiar with the routine, jumping onto Kane's head.
"Let's go! Divine Dragon Go!"
Are you Wataru? Yamato.
Kane flew upwards, and in less than two minutes, he arrived at the central area of the Skull Dome.
Here, Kaido was sitting cross-legged on the ground, drinking from a sake gourd, seemingly having been there for a while.
"Worororo, you're here."
Kaido swayed as he stood up, letting out a burp: "The quality and quantity of Haki need to be cultivated by yourselves, but there's a shortcut to mastering the techniques."
Kane nodded silently. Strictly speaking, techniques like Armament Haki's coating, hardening, internal destruction, Observation Haki's Future Sight, and even Haoshoku's coating, are just techniques; there is no hierarchy among them.
Even if you've just awakened Haki, you can still use those techniques, it's just a matter of power and duration.
Kaido's explanation continued.
Perhaps he was drunk, or perhaps it was his first time being a teacher, Kaido spoke patiently for the first time.
But in Kane's opinion, there was too much unhelpful information.
What do you mean, just think about letting Haki penetrate the enemy's interior, and Haki will do it itself!
"Oh, oh, I see."
Yamato looked as if she had found a treasure, nodding repeatedly, looking like she had learned something.
...
Kane was silent, sighing.
Should he say they were indeed father and daughter?
He even began to suspect there was some secret code in that last sentence that only they, father and daughter, knew.
"To master Haki techniques, the most effective teaching is combat!"
Kaido drank all his sake, pulled out his spiked club from behind his cloak: "Come on, attack me with the resolve to kill me."
"I'm going!"
Yamato, who had been beaten since childhood, was already familiar with the process.
She dragged her spiked club, charged forward, then leaped up: "Thunder Bagua!"
The spiked club, mixed with Haki and lightning, heavily struck Kaido.
However, Kaido merely swayed and steadily took the blow.
Is the gap that big?
Kane was shocked.
