One Piece: Free Ronin

Haiyuan Calendar December 1510

It has been ten months since Rocks taught Flo how to practice seeing and hearing Haki.

After being blindfolded and beaten for ten months, Flo still covered his eyes with the animal skin. He tilted his head slightly to the right, just in time to avoid the wooden stick that Rocks stabbed at his face, and then came A series of dodge movements, as if he was witnessing it with his own eyes, he was able to dodge Rocks' wooden stick without any delay every time.

This attack and avoidance lasted for about a quarter of an hour.

It ended with Flo being severely beaten away with a wooden stick.

"Mou hahaha, boy, you are making good progress! You have mastered the power of seeing, hearing, color and domineering very well. It's just that your body's reaction speed is still not up to par. It seems that the training of strength and speed needs to be strengthened. " Rocks shouted while looking at Flo who was rolled far away on the ground after being hit with his stick.

Then Flo got up from the ground as if nothing had happened.

He patted the dust on his body and said casually as he walked towards Rocks: "It is true that I am a little behind in the cultivation of strength and speed, but who told me that I am only 14 years old. And for the last stick, you obviously used your Overlord Se Baqi interfered, otherwise I would have been able to escape."

At this time, he still wore the animal skin blindfold on his face, and he walked very calmly, as if he was fully aware of the surrounding environment.

In fact, he basically spent these ten months wearing an animal skin blindfold.

In order to train Flo's domineering power of knowledge and knowledge, Rocks deliberately adopted this method to close his visual senses, so that he could better use his ears and mind to sense the breath of objects.

Flo could only slightly perceive danger at first. When Rocks' stick came, with his rich experience of being beaten and the sound of the wind, he knew that the attack was coming, but he didn't know where exactly the attack would land. When taking dodge action, the stick would have already hit him just before he could make a move.

The rich dodge skills he had accumulated when he was beaten without a blindfold seemed to be of no use at this time.

So in the first six months, he would be beaten almost every day, leaving injuries all over his body and bruises on his head.

After a day of beatings, replenish your energy and rest for a night. Early the next morning, after Shenglong ran vigorously, he was beaten again and again.

As my eyes were plunged into darkness for a longer period of time, the blows from wooden sticks came from different directions every day.

I don't know at what moment, Flo's mind turned from pitch black to snow-white. In this pure white space, he began to perceive the vague outlines of some external things. Every time Rocks waved a wooden stick to hit him, At this time, accompanied by the whistling wind, he could gradually "see" the trajectory of the ancient stick.

As if he could see it with his own eyes, he could predict where the stick would land and then make dodge movements.

As Flo continued to dodge the incoming wooden sticks, the corners of Rocks' mouth slightly raised, and he chuckled to himself: "He is really a talented kid."

Then he quietly increased the speed of swinging the wooden stick until Flo could no longer easily dodge, and then continued to attack at this frequency. Flo made sudden moves from left to right, and could only narrowly avoid it every time.

As Locks' speed became faster and faster, the stick shadow in Flo's domineering white perception space also became extremely fast. Although he could still barely feel it, there was no time to take action.

Just like before when he exercised his perseverance, Locks was always able to push Flo to his limits. In this way, he transcended himself again and again, and the originally dark world became more colorful with Flo's knowledge and perception. The outlines of external things became clearer and clearer, and sometimes he could even "see" ripples caused by the flow of air.

After asking Locks, he found out that what he "saw" in his mind were the sounds and breaths of all things in this world.

They reconstructed the world in Flo's mind, and the breaths that appear in his perception of the world also contain deeper information about things. "Seeing" and understanding them is the ability given to Flo by the Haki of Seeing, Hearing and Color. .

Everything in the world has its own unique breath and sound. Those breaths and sounds cannot be captured by the eyes, and can only be "seen" with the power of perception of the mind.

Perhaps it's because Flo's soul is particularly powerful. Since he truly awakened to the Haki of Seeing and Hearing, as his practice continues, the range and clarity of what he can perceive has grown rapidly. The growth became even more astonishing later on. From the initial area of ​​about ten meters around his body to the final area of ​​nearly a kilometer in radius, it undoubtedly took less than four months for everything to materialize in his mind.

Rocks was briefly surprised when he learned about it, but then he was relieved. Due to different mental strength, the amount of information that everyone can receive is also different. He knew that Flo's mental will was already terrifyingly powerful, and after these years of hell-like training and torture, it seems that the mental will had been further tempered and became stronger, so it was not long before he awakened to the domineering power at such a young age. It's not surprising that you can "see" so many things, but thinking about it, the time that this range of perception can be maintained is extremely limited.

Therefore, Rocks told him that such range and clarity were due to his relatively strong spirit, and that ordinary people could achieve it through continuous training of will and practice.

It is also said that those who have truly cultivated the power of seeing and hearing to the extreme can even foresee the future.

Some people are even born with the domineering power of knowledge and knowledge, so they can "see" or "hear" information that others cannot receive since childhood. Some people can understand people's voices, some people can read the voices of plants or animals, and Roger has the ability to listen to the voices of all things...

After listening to Rox's explanation, Flo had a relatively systematic understanding of the Haki.

It also lets him know that he still has a lot to explore and learn.

When Flo came closer: "Mou hahaha, kid, it seems that the practice of seeing, hearing, color and domineering is over. From now on, you will have to practice and strengthen yourself." You also know that there are still many things that can be explored in depth, and in my opinion, your talent in this area is very outstanding, and you should focus on developing it. "

Flo sat cross-legged on the ground and said with a smile, "Hey, I will carry your name on my back and go to the sea to make waves in the future! It's not enough to just focus on sight and sex! There are still many shortcomings. Next, I’ll continue to beg you!”

Locks looked down at Flo with a wooden stick and said with great satisfaction, "Mou hahaha, you are still so self-aware, boy. It is good to have such an awareness. Then you can continue to go to the jungle from tomorrow. Strength and The speed can be enhanced through constant fighting. I guess you can already distinguish the strength of living creatures with your knowledge, right? This is enough to save your life."

Raising his head to face Rocks, his heart moved. Suddenly, Rocks in Flo's domineering perception turned blood red, so red that it was a bit dazzling. He touched his head and said bitterly: "Ah, awakening to see and hear the color can detect After seeing how dangerous creatures are to me, I feel frightened every time I see you, teacher... how powerful you were before, and Garp and Roger who can join forces to defeat you are not bad at all. Too many? There are so many monsters in the sea that are so terrifying..."

A violent chestnut hit Flo, and there was a big bump on Flo's head. Locks saw this and chuckled: "Mou hahaha, I guess you are wise. If I were strong, since I had the ambition to dominate the world back then, I would definitely have You have the strength to match this ambition.”

Then his tone changed, as if he had thought of something again, and he suddenly sighed softly, "But, kid, don't be too obsessed with power... This is my warning, right?"

Flo was a little surprised when he heard this, because this was the first time in such a long time that he heard Rocks sigh like this, but if he thought about it carefully, he could understand what Rocks meant by the bell...

So he didn't speak, just nodded heavily.

In fact, there is no need for Locks to remind you about this. Flo has already thought about this issue thoroughly in his previous life. Power is just a means to achieve the destination, and the more important thing is the person himself. If you want to control more powerful power, you must have a strong heart to match it, otherwise you will just become a slave to power.

He could understand why Rocks gave himself such a warning.

He thought: "It seems that all the hard training has made Rocks think that I have a morbid desire for strength. Is he afraid that I will follow his old path? Hehe, definitely not, old man. But thank you for your concern... "

Seeing Flo solemnly nodding in agreement, Rocks knew that Flo had understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything more, just turned around and leisurely went to the dense forest to find enough food for the two of them.
