{ Ninth Year Of The Great Age Of Pirates }
"Well, I'm glad you're motivated. Now get out. I'm going to teach you how to use and train it."
Enzo stood up and walked out of the house as the door was already opened. Cain followed behind with a curious expression mixed with delight.
{ A few hours later }
Cain sat down on a small rocking chair as he has a contemplative expression. On the other side, his pops couldn't be seen anywhere.
It seemed that his father already went back home after he taught him the basics of Haki.
'I already have [Observational Haki] but I can improve it by using blindfold and walk, run, fight like it's a second nature to me. Now that I think about it, haven't Silver been doing all his life? Does that mean his [Observational Haki] are better than my own. Interesting.'
Basically, [Haki] was surprisingly simple and easy to understand. It was based on spiritual strength and strength of the mind.
In case of [Observational Haki], it can only be obtained at birth or awaken through trauma. Out of all [Haki], this one was the easiest to train and improve massively.
According to Enzo, he blindfolded himself and tried to feel the presence of other. It's not something out of this world, he trained his sense of sound and body. It's similar to when you feel a presence that is about to touch at your back, you couldn't help but react to it.
This [Haki] though will enhance it and improved your sensitivity around your area.
It was also very versatile as it can help you in different areas. One example, an individual will be able to sense your emotion or another will predict the future.
Or able to see everything visionally even if it's a wall, shell of a body and the likes which happened to be Cain's innate ability obtained by [Observational Haki.]
In case of [Armament Haki]. it can only be obtained by training or intense will-power.
According to Enzo, this [Haki] was truly complex and weird as all you needed was monstrous endurance and strength which was easy for him and Cain but what was difficult was being able to focus and boost your fighting spirit continuously.
Apparently, [Armament Haki] wasn't at all visible but in certain case, it would have like in coating sword or their body. They are called [Hardening] mainly used by people that can use this [Haki] exceptionally.
Meaning that people who aren't able to make it visible are considered weak in this [Haki].
Enzo wasn't able to specify how to train it as it was differently for everyone but he had said that he could train it by fighting creatures and people that could make him struggle as this would truly help him massively in this [Armament Haki] department.
As for [Conqueror's Haki], Enzo kept his secret since he had liked to tease him and he also know the fact that he hasn't obtained it anyway.
Though luckily, he gave one piece of information that truly made him not want it.
Apparently, it can only be obtained through deep trauma, intense stress or a struggling fight. It seemed like [Conqueror's Haki] are only gifted to people that have problems or went through one.
Enzo decided to tell him how did he manage to awaken it and quite frankly it surprised him as he didn't think his father would be alright to expose it to him as it seemed like it was bad.
His prediction were correct as Enzo told him that he awakened his [Conqueror's Haki] when he was kidnapped by slave traders, managing to knock them out. First thing he did after that was run back home which made them pursue after him after remembering what happened.
As it clearly cemented on their mind that they had found a gifted child that had the potential to be powerful in the far future which is useful for them.
When the slave traders appeared in his home, the child told his parents that they were the one that kidnapped him and so the struggle between the group and the parents exploded literally and figuratively causing him to hate himself and others for being weak.
'What a mess. [Conqueror Haki] sounds like a bother. You could only get it after going through something that traumistised you. The ability must be worth it since he said it's special.'
After processing all of this information, he could only stuck with it and not ask for more as he will try to use this to his advantage. Especially, [Armament Haki] as it was very important for him if he ever wanted to defeat a Logia Users.
At the moment, he was only rocking on a chair and thinking about his future since he would definitely have a hard time surviving and might even die. Especially, when he thought about the other ninety-eight people that has reincarnated with him.
He was thinking about what their ability or power will be. Now that he know about [Haki] and [Devil Fruit, especially the latter that is even more deadly.
'I would not be overpowered if I simply have my own body and [Haki]. Should I really get an [Devil Fruit]? But that inability to swim really sucks. I like swimming and add on the fact that I'm in the world where there is more seas than land. Though if I were to get one, what should I get? [Logia, Paramecia, Zoan]?'
He immediately crossed out [Zoan Devil Fruit] as he was pretty certain that he would be fucked up if he were to have a different animal when he himself were a mix of human and mink.
As for [Logia], he truly didn't mind since it sounded cool to be part of an element. Though, he would be pretty alarmed if he was an element of sticky things. He chuckled at that thought.
[Paramecia Devil Fruit] was confusing and arguably the strongest in his opinion since apparently it will give you soverignty ability over certain object or bodily alteration and lastly environment alteration.
How awesome was that? Imagine being able to control others or teleport. They were an example of [Paramecia Devil Fruit] abilities.
So out of all [Devil Fruits], he would certainly choose a [Paramecia] over others. Though, what ability did he want would be long to ponder about and quite frankly he wasn't interested in thinking about it for now.
Suddenly, there was a noise behind him. Cain turned his head over his shoulder, looking back and what captured his attention was Silver wearing a full bandage except his own eyes and nose.
"That must suck. I know you're uncomfortable." said Cain, amusement thick in his voice.
"Shut up. You went through this last year. Who are you to say as if you never experienced it?"
Veins popped out in his neck and forehead as Cain felt an urge to beat this dislikeable human being even if he was injured.
"Don't make me hurt you. You're very vulnerable right now so you can't use your [Devil Fruit] to escape my attacks" said the younger child as he grinned as if he thought he won.
"Then I'll tell the nurse you inflicted even more injuries on me just after she treated me. She won't make you foods before you leave" said Silver as he dared provokingly.
Cain turned his head and spat out on the ground distastefully like a child that lost miserably in Mortal Kombat game against their own friend.
"Whatever. So what made you come here? Shouldn't you still be resting in bed?"
The injured fellow didn't answer for a moment as he walked, found a rocking chair nearby as he wanted to sit and relax.
"Nah, it's boring. I had enough of that shit. Staying on bed are unhealthy as fuck. For some reason, it just have the ability to make me more lazier than usual."
"Yeah, I can't lie that is true." replied Cain as this was really relatable.
Since Cain experienced this many times in his previous life when he was a teen and whenever he was on the bed, and he had to complete his school work assignments but he felt intense lazyness and felt unmotivated to get off the bed.
He would stay on his mobile phone or watch television, only to come out in order to piss and eat and then repeat. He never wanted to experience that again.
So when he was seventeen, he changed his habit and started truly going out with people, watch cinema, sports and most importantly training his combat skills.
"Still though, that was surprisingly mature of you. Thought you would stay stuck on the bed."
"Just what do you think of me? I'm not a sloth." retorted Silver, assuming a annoyance expression on his face as he turned his head to look in the beautiful blue sky.
"I don't know."
Silver snapped his head at Cain with a confused expression as if he couldn't understand what he was spouting out of his mouth.
"What do you mean you don't know? We have been together for six years and you don't know what you thought of me."
"Nope. I guess you weren't that important." said Cain with amusement in his voice, shrugging with his hands in the air.
As if he was offended, Silver instantly reached his hand out to Cain's chair and violently pushed making Cain fall to the ground unexpectedly.
"You deserved that, you ingrateful mutt!" shouted Silver with a large smile on his face.
Cain's expression turned cold as the atmosphere surrounding him went gloomy and he gave out a dangerous vibe while he stood up facing Silver.
Quickly noticing this, Silver wangled his right index finger at Cain with a serious expression.
"Oh no, you don't. Remember my warning. No foods from nurse if you hurt me."
"I. Don't. Care. I'm going out to the jungle after I'm done with you anyway." said Cain as he walked slowly toward Silver as he raised his hand, claws out.
'Didn't I already went through this by father. You're exactly like him.' thought despondently as Cain finally grab his neck, raising him up in the air.
Struggling to breathe when suddenly, his torso received multiple minor slashes from Cain as he swiped his claws while laughing out loud with a sadistic vibe.
