Chapter 1058: Ceiling

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The fifth emperor?

Kuro did not know who these people were.

Those with a good brain definitely don’t believe it. Those with a bad brain probably don’t believe it either, because those with a bad brain don’t believe anyone and only want to fight.

Kuro used to think that William had a good brain, but now he realized that it didn’t seem to be much better.

Kuro recognized that Logia was powerful.

William was indeed strong, but it was a pity that the path he took looked familiar to Kuro.

Apart from Logia making him a little tricky, Kuro could see his own shadow in all the remaining moves.

What was there to say? It was the easiest to deal with such a person.

If it had been anyone else, it might have taken some effort, but if it was just William, whether it was Kuro’s skill or hard strength, he would have been crushed. He was too familiar with him and would have been easy to deal with.

However, he used a little more strength.

Although he fought casually, the degree of Haki he used was not low. The last move was directly used by Unified Haki and he was too lazy to fight with William.

“He’s not dead yet…”

He glanced at William, whose chest was still rising and falling, and clicked his tongue. “Why didn’t you do a good business? Why did you go to be a pirate? You have no future.”

“William!!”

Elmira’s face was extremely gloomy and she subconsciously wanted to hold the two guns tightly. Even if she died, she would teach this man a lesson.

“He’s not dead yet. There’s no need to be so angry.”

Kuro glanced at him and pointed at William and said, “But if it’s any later, it may be gone. It’s not good for him to have killing intent in his body. But if he survives, I’m willing to give him a chance…”

“If you survive, report to me. I will give you a chance to be a real big pirate, not the so-called fifth emperor of the local rats in the gutter.”

With that, his body floated away and he flew directly to the Battleship and greeted it. The Battleship moved and directly ignored the Pirate Ship and sailed towards the sea.

After confirming that the Battleship had left, Elmira stared at the Battleship with a complicated look and quickly ran to William.

… .

“Just like that?”

In the Battleship office, Leda looked curiously at Kuro, who was biting his cigar.

“Otherwise?” Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke. “His combat power is indeed good. In the current Shichibukai, he is neither high nor low. To be able to tie with that crocodile, his strength is not bad.”

“I can deal with that kind of strength, right?” Leda said. “How can that be called yes?”

Kuro nodded in relief. “You have finally grown up. Yes, don’t be arrogant and keep this humility so that you can go further. Don’t be like William, who was fine before. If he fought with me with the same mentality as when he met me in East Blue, he might have been able to fight. Humph, he made the same mistake as Doflamingo, but I’m not a straw hat. Making such a mistake in front of me is no different from courting death.”

This guy is so full of ideas that he wants to beat me. If he was normal, Kuro would not have won so easily.

But it was just a little effort. The real combat power of the sea is not this kind of small-scale fight.

“Listen, Lida, Crowe, there are many kinds of combat power on the sea. Body Technique Sword Art, ability, Haki, any one of them is a strong person, but this is only the end. You have seen my battle with Barrett, you should understand that the combination of the three is the real power. Body Technique Sword Art and ability are not easy to distinguish, everyone has a unique way, but Haki is universal, the level is there.”

Kuro bit his cigar and said, “You know about the ordinary Armament Haki level. There are four realms, entanglement, hardening, externalization, and destruction. Above this is the Unified Haki, which is the Haki realm known as ‘Muramasa’. This can be achieved. Before this move, keep humble.”

“Observation Haki can be divided into many kinds. The most powerful one is Listening to All Things, but this is also related to talent, but the rest of the powerful ones are not bad. Among the Yonkō (Four Emperors), Charlotte Lingling’s Kenbonshoku (Observation Haki) can even be used to see through things. In the Marine, Brother Yixiao’s Kenbonshoku (Observation Haki) has a wide range and he can also read minds. There are many people who can see through things, read minds, predict the future, and listen to all things… but compared to Armament Haki, Kenbonshoku (Observation) requires a higher aptitude. This is not forced, just try your best.”

This thing is actually also related to personal characteristics. Kenbonshoku (Observation) is actually a passive thing that is used to warn others. It can only be released when you are calm. If you are not calm, you will not be able to release Kenbonshoku (Observation).

And according to each person’s characteristics, their growth is not the same. Leda’s Kenbonshoku (Observation) is the same type as me, both are wide-ranging.

However, Leda has not yet cultivated to his level. His Kenbonshoku (Observation) not only has a wide range, but its biggest function is to sense the strength of others. Other people who are proficient in Kenbonshoku (Observation) may only be able to feel it in person, and their perception is not deep. They only know that they are very strong, but how strong they are still has to be done by themselves. This is not necessary for Kuro. In this situation where the second form is not developed, he knows how strong he is.

This sea has a ceiling. No matter how strong it is, it will not exceed that ceiling. That is the limit.

Just like in his previous life, no matter how strong a human body is, it will not exceed that limit.

“When you reach the limit of this Haki, if you still have Haoshoku or something similar to Haoshoku and can wrap around it, you can peep at the ceiling on the sea.”

Kuro pondered for a while and said, “The Haoshoku’s entanglement is not only in the attack, but also all over the body. With the enhancement of the Unified Haki and the understanding of his own ability, he can complete the second form.”

“Eh? Don’t you want to add body techniques or swordsmanship?” Leda asked curiously.

“That kind of thing in itself is a personal understanding, how to add it? After reaching that form, it depends on pure body technique and swordsmanship. Everyone is on the same level, so it depends on oneself,” Kuro said.

The second form itself does not carry body techniques and swordsmanship, but abilities must be brought.

Devil Fruit is a characteristic of the sea and also an extremely strong combat power factor. Kuro has never heard of a body technique that can conquer the world.

Karp?

Garp can’t either.

Times change, just like how no one knew that the so-called ‘Emperor of the Sea’ would appear a long time ago.

This concept only appeared after Rox died.

In the 800 years since the establishment of the World Government, the strongest generation on the sea is actually now.

Without the ability, even if Haoshoku is wrapped all over and combined with the Unified Haki, it is impossible to complete the ‘second form’. That is a posture that must be developed to a certain extent and combined with Haki.
