Chapter 134 Storytelling, Ryu Sakura
Chapter 134 Storytelling, Ryu Sakura
"East Sea? Is it the New World? No, is it somewhere outside the Grand Line?"
Yamato became more interested after hearing Lu Li say he was from the East China Sea, "Can you tell me what the world outside is like?"
She grew up in Wano Country/Onigashima. Especially after she called herself Kozuki Oden, her father directly confined her to her home, so she had never been out to sea and was very yearning for the outside world.
Of course, more importantly, her idol Kozuki Oden longs for the outside world and freedom, and she feels that she should be the same.
"That's a long story."
Lu Li always felt that there was some kind of force watching this place, so he acted cautiously.
Although he doesn't like Yamato's "taking care of the filial daughter" behavior, Yamato himself is not a bad person. He is just obsessed with idol chasing. The key is that the object of his idol chasing is a bit problematic. There are so many people you can idolize, but you have to idolize the "heroic man" Kozuki Oden.
But no matter what, he can't be said to hate Yamato, to the extent of killing someone for the devil fruit. He has his own plans for the fruit mission.
What's more, attacking the "Demon Princess" of the Beasts Pirates in Wano Country is clearly an act of seeking death.
"It doesn't matter. We can't go out right now anyway. Just tell me what's going on outside."
Yamato's eyes sparkled, she didn't care at all about 'it's a long story', on the contrary, she liked long ones.
Since he was not going to do anything to his roommate, Lu Li changed his mind and said, "I can tell you the story outside, but you have to promise me one thing."
"What is it? Please tell me. I, Kozuki Oden, always keep my word!"
Yamato urged.
"I'm very interested in how this country uses Haki. Can you teach me?"
Lu Li had a new idea after meeting Yamato. There was no need for him to go far to find old man Hyogoro to teach him Ryuo, and he was not sure that with his charm, the other party would be willing to teach him.
Isn’t the Yamato in front of us the perfect teaching tool? He is a disciple of the Four Emperors Kaido, is proficient in the three colors of Haki, and his brain is not very smart and he is easily fooled, which obviously makes it easier for him to learn Haki.
Moreover, Yamato is Kaido’s daughter, maybe she has also inherited Kai’s excellent teaching ability?
"Haki? Sure, I was going to teach you even if you didn't tell me. After all, you look a little weak, and you're a comrade who wants to overthrow Kaido's rule together with me, Kozuki Oden. Leave it to me!"
Yamato patted his chest and said, and suddenly D's will surged.
Yamato agreed so readily that Lu Li was stunned. He didn't expect that he would have such benefits even though he was in jail at the beginning.
This is a free tutor delivered to your door, and he is a senior lecturer from Baishou Tuition Group.
"What do you mean by a little weak... Never mind, let me tell you about what's happening outside first. Where do you want to start?"
It was a bit regrettable for Lu Li to tell Yamato that he was weak, although if he didn't burst out, his attributes were indeed not very strong.
"Anything is fine. I'm interested in all the adventures out there. I really want to be free."
Yamato said happily that she didn't expect that after being sent here for labor reform, she would meet a like-minded comrade, and the other party was an outsider who could tell her many interesting stories.
Lu Li thought about it, and then began to tell Yamato about the various strange islands, countries, customs, etc. in the outside world. He was not a person with a talent for storytelling, but Yamato listened with gusto. The main reason was that she didn't have many friends in Wano Country to communicate with, and she usually lived a very secluded life.
Since they had made an agreement, Lu Li was not in a hurry to learn. He wanted to make Yahe happy first, and then let the other party teach him carefully.
The two chatted all night, and Yamato was still in an excited state in the early morning, "Wow, there are islands in the sky, the world outside is so magical, I really want to go out and see it."
"Didn't you say you wanted to help Wano Country establish its own country? Why do you keep thinking about leaving?"
Lu Li asked back.
Yamato was completely unaware of the contradiction in his thinking, "Because I am Kozuki Oden, I am a man who yearns for freedom. Of course I want to go out for adventures, but precisely because I am Kozuki Oden, I also want to help Wano Country to establish its country and defeat Kaido."
Lu Li was speechless about Yamato's train of thought. Why did he have to learn from such an abstract figure as Kozuki Oden? He wanted to found a country, and then he wanted to abandon his country to go out and play when the country was in danger. It was simply too abstract.
However, after close face-to-face communication, he felt that maybe because of her age, Yamato had not been so brainwashed yet. At least he felt that Yamato wanted to go out for adventure not simply because of the influence of Kozuki Oden's diary, but because of her heartfelt yearning for freedom as a girl of this age.
But Yamato herself was unaware of this. She usually just called herself Kozuki Oden, cut ties with Kaido's forces, and refused to admit that she was the daughter of a demon.
"I've been talking all night and my throat is dry. Let's continue tonight. I want to practice my domineering aura for a while."
Lu Li ended the story session and wanted to learn Haki from Yamato.
"Time flies. It's already morning. This is the first time in eight years that I've talked to someone my age for so long."
Yamato's happiness was evident on his face, "Since you said you are tired, Brother Lu, let me teach you."
Because of the customs of Wano Country, Yamato, who calls himself Kozuki Oden, originally called Lu Li, who was older than him, "Lu Jun". However, Lu Li said that he did not like the way of addressing him here and asked Yamato to call him by the name of his hometown. Yamato was also happy to try the name from outside and found it very interesting.
After entering the teaching mode, Yamato was unexpectedly serious and earnest, "Brother Lu, let me see your domineering power first."
Upon hearing this, Lu Li immediately activated his passive Armament Haki, covering his arms with it and making the Haki color visible.
Considering that many people here can use Haki, Lu Li turned off his passive Armament Haki to avoid any sense of disobedience. Yamato didn't notice his Haki level. "Not bad. What Brother Lu lacks now is the advanced method of using it."
Yamato looked at Lu Li's Armament Haki and praised, "You now need to release your Haki to form a buffer zone on the surface of your body, allowing it to flow like air."
As Yamato explained, she used Armament Haki and released it with the Ryusaku technique. Suddenly, her hands were covered with a cherry blossom-like color that wrapped around her hands like qi.
She took the initiative to stretch out her hand and move closer to Lu Li's fist. Although there was still a certain distance between them, Lu Li's fist was pushed back by a force.
"This is Ryusakura..."
Lu Li looked at the Armament Haki in Yamato's hand thoughtfully. Seeing it with his eyes and experiencing it with his body was a completely different feeling from watching anime.
Yamato's release was not fast, allowing Lu Li to feel the mysterious workings of the power within it. He soon knew why he had not been successful before.
"Can you try to fight me again?"
Lu Li suggested, standing up.
Yamato was fine with it, and kindly reminded him: "Then you better be careful, I'm quite strong."
Lu Li nodded, and Yamato stopped talking and punched him.
Because Lu Li's hands were tied with seastone, he could only raise his fists and hit Yamato's fists together.
In the collision of forces, Lu Li was flung away, causing cracks on the wall behind him.
After standing firm, Lu Li showed a look of surprise on his face, because he found that there was indeed a qualitative difference between Ryuo and ordinary armament Haki.
Yamato's strength is not greater than his own due to the limitation of seastone, but he was knocked away in the collision just now. This is the power of Ryuo.
Simply put, the previous ordinary Armament Haki only increased the attack through hardness. If you want to inflict high damage in this situation, it requires great strength, speed, etc. of a person.
If the strength is average, the attack power is actually just so-so.
For example, old man Hyogoro in the original work, because of his old age and frailty, if he used ordinary armed color domineering to hit people, he probably wouldn't be able to hurt anyone in this Usagi prison, but if he used Ryuo, he could even knock down some jailers.
The same goes for Luffy. In terms of attribute panel, he is definitely no match for Kaido, so when he uses ordinary armament domineering to hit Kaido, it is just like tickling, but after using Ryusakura, he can scratch Kaido.
In short, Ryuo is a powerful technique that can greatly enhance attacking capabilities and has the power of both offense and defense. It is a stage in the temperament transformation of Armament Haku.
"Are you OK?"
When Yamato saw Lu Li being knocked away, he just stood there with a smile on his face, thinking that Lu Li was hurt by him.
"I'm fine, just a few more, I think I'm getting the point."
Lu Li discovered that Yamato's language ability was actually average. It would be better to let her fight directly than to let her explain theories to him. With her attentive guidance, it would be easy for him to grasp the trick.
bang bang bang-
As a result, the sound of people being beaten against the wall kept coming from the cell, which made the prisoners next door a little impatient. They started cursing and asked if Lu Li and the other man were too energetic and sick, and whether they were making such a noise so early in the morning and should go mining if they had the energy!
Facing the prisoners' shouting and cursing, Lu Li and Yamato turned a deaf ear and devoted themselves to the practice and teaching of domineering.
Because Lu Li and Yamato were still injured, and in accordance with the principle of sustainable development, the jailer did not call them out to work today.
If Lu Li was the only one who acted lively and energetic, the jailer of Rabbit Prison would definitely ask Lu Li to come out to mine. However, in the eyes of the jailers, it was Yamato who was "beating" Lu Li at this time.
They thought that Yamato was unhappy and was taking it out on Lu Li, so no one was so blind as to bother their "young master".
In addition, the sparring between Yamato and Lu Li made quite a bit of noise, so the jailers all felt that Lu Li's injuries must have worsened. They felt a bit of "sympathy" for Lu Li's situation, so they decided not to call Lu Li out to work for the next few days.
Lu Li naturally didn't know what the jailers in Tudon Prison were thinking. Anyway, as long as they didn't ask him to mine, he was happy to continue clashing with Yamato in the cell.
boom--
Until one time, during a fistfight between the two, Yamato was knocked flying by Lu Li and hit the wall behind him. Rubble flew everywhere and almost broke the specially reinforced prison wall.
Lu Li looked at the translucent dark red Haki wrapped around his hand, a smile appeared on his face. He walked over and stretched out his hand to pull up Yamato who was rubbing his head, "Thank you, I have mastered Ryuo."
After a day of practice, he has successfully mastered Ryuo, and it no longer has the problem of sometimes working and sometimes not.
Since Armament Haki was placed in the Seed of Origin column by him, he can also adjust the 'power', allowing the passive to be in the normal Armament Haki characteristics, or activate the Ryu Sakura characteristics.
This regulatory function allows Lu Li to not worry about his entire body being wrapped in a thick buffer zone, affecting his daily life.
As for Ryuo, it is enough to activate it only in battle, and usually just use ordinary armament color domineering to cover the whole body.
