"Now back to Haki," Luffy said, causing them all to take notice. "Haki is a power that exists and lies dormant in all living things in the world." "This power is not much different from the senses we have." "However, most people are either not aware of that power or fail to awaken it," said Luffy before taking a sip of whiskey.
"So, everyone can learn this power called Haki?" Johnny asked with a look of pure awe on his face. Luffy nodded his head before taking another sip of his drink.
"That's so cool," Johnny said, looking at Luffy. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with what Johnny had just said.
"There are two types of haki that anyone can acquire with proper training." "The first is observation, Haki," he said before stopping and looking around to make sure everyone was paying attention.
After seeing everyone listening carefully, he continued. "That hati gives the user a sixth sense of the world around them and limited precognitive abilities." "I've heard rumors of people honing Observation Haki to such a degree that they can see a little into the future," Luffy said, causing all of their eyes to widen.
"Looking into the future?" Sanji asked in disbelief. Luffy nodded before answering.
"Yeah, just for the next few seconds or so," he said before taking a sip of his drink. "I haven't reached that level yet; I can only predict my enemy's movements and sense the life aura from everything within my reach," he said before turning to Usopp and speaking.
"You, as a sharpshooter, Usopp, can use observation haki to aim at enemies at a great distance and hit them with precise accuracy," said Luffy, causing Usopp's eyes to widen.
"Wow!" said Usopp before starting to jump up and down for joy. Luffy shook his head before he spoke again.
"The next type is armor haki," he said before holding out his right hand for everyone to see. As they stared at Luffy's hand, they were all surprised when they saw it suddenly change from its normal skin color to a glossy black.
"This haki allows the user to use their will as armor to defend against blocking attacks or to make their own attacks stronger," he said before the black color on his arms seemed to fade back to normal.
"If you're fighting someone else who also uses the armament haki, the fight depends on who has the stronger will or wants to win more, and in this case, the one with the weaker will will definitely accept defeat," he said before finishing his drink and looking towards Zoro.
"You can also use it on your sword to make your attacks stronger," Luffy said, causing Zoro to smile. "There are two important things about Armament Haki that you need to know," said Luffy, making them pay more attention to what he was going to say.
"Firstly, your haki can run out if you use it too much," he said, surprising them once again.
"And secondly, this type of Haki also has the ability to pass through the power of a Devil Fruit user whose body has been altered by a Devil Fruit of any kind," he said, causing everyone's eyes to widen.
"What do you mean affect their body?" Nojiko asked.
"For example, I'm a lightning Logia-type user, which means I can turn my body into lightning and make my body invulnerable to certain attacks," he said, causing all of his crew to nod, indicating that they had understood thus far.
"If you punch me now, your arms will go through my body, not hurt me, and you will be electrocuted, but if you punch me with your hands imbued with Armament Haki, your fists won't go through me; they will hit me, and it will hurt my real body," he said.
"Wow... so this haki is very useful against devil fruit users?" Nami asked in a surprised voice. Luffy nodded before speaking again.
"Those are the two main types everyone can awaken," he said, causing them all to nod their heads except for Nami, who looked at Luffy with a confused look on her face before she spoke.
"Two main types?" Nami asked, causing Luffy to nod. "So there's more?" he asked again. Luffy smiled at her question before he answered.
"There's one more that only a certain group of people can have," said Luffy, surprising them.
"It is a type of haki that is so rare that only one in a few million people can possess it." "That haki is called Conqueror haki or the Supreme King's Spirit," he said.
"One in several million?" Usopp asked, causing Luffy to nod his head.
"What does it do?" he asked.
"That haki allows the user to overpower other people's will." "Zoro, Nami, and Usopp have seen me use it before," said Luffy, causing the three of them to be confused. He looked at their faces, trying to remember when they had seen him use it.
"Usually, when someone uses it, they can stun a group of people just by their presence," he said, causing the three of them to finally figure out what he was talking about.
"Those with strong wills can withstand the effects of Conqueror Haki," he said before getting up from his throne and walking to the Captain's room and returning carrying several pieces of black cloth.
"First, I will teach all of you observation haki before I teach you armor," said Luffy as he walked towards them.
"Is there a reason why that's what you taught me first?" Zoro asked.
"I think it would be better for all of you to learn how to predict your enemy's moves in battle before we power up your attacks," said Luffy as he started handing out the blindfolds to Johnny, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji.
"And it's so much more fun to learn—actually fun for myself," he said with an evil grin that made everyone nervous.
