Chapter 24 Armament Haki Awakening

More than 300 stranded soldiers entered the laboratory and went to the hall and material warehouse for supplies one after another.

"All troops, rest! I'll go check other places." Dragon arranged the soldiers and planned to search for Vegapunk alone.

"But, Colonel! What about our mission?" a soldier stood up and asked, looking worried.

task?

Dragon had no idea about this mission at all. He was more curious about why this mission was to transport Kaido and the legendary clan.

Why not tell him the specific mission information.

He wanted to find Vegapunk to find out what the conspiracy was.

"Listen, everyone. If we continue to carry out our mission in the dark and sacrifice ourselves for the World Government's ambitions, we might as well forget about the mission and enjoy the present moment."

As a colonel, the highest-ranking officer here, what Dorag says goes.

Everyone lowered their heads silently, thinking that what Dorag was saying was not wrong, and that they should just enjoy the present moment.

In the laboratory——

After eating the apple pie, Arthur also walked through the door of the monitoring room to a larger area in the laboratory.

Although his body was still aching slightly, he felt a force emerging throughout his body.

Looking at his hands, Arthur tried to mobilize the breath flowing through his veins.

Then it wrapped around his wrists, and in just a moment, a dark and domineering skin like iron wrapped around Arthur's wrists.

Those powers seemed to possess him, making his skin as hard as steel.

"Beginner level of Armament Haki?" Arthur was a little surprised. The gains from this battle were really great.

But he found that he couldn't fully control it, and the domineering aura appeared vaguely in his hands.

If it were any other ordinary person in this world, they would definitely think that there was something wrong with their body.

But Arthur is a time traveler, and he can recognize many things, objects, and powers that he knows at a glance.

He was not surprised when he began to master Haki.

After experiencing two battles, he felt that possessing domineering power would not necessarily allow him to defeat those who did not have it.

Such as himself.

He took the Thunder Bagua from the 28-year-old Kaido without any domineering power, and then on Lionheart Island in the Eivor Sea, he withstood the domineering fists from Lake and Apollo.

To him, domineering power is just an auxiliary force.

For example, it is quite effective against some natural abilities.

"It's been ten years, but it's only just beginning to show its Haki. It seems that the average Haki in Wano Country is at the level of Ryuo. It still needs practice." Arthur tried to wave his fist and felt a little strange:

"It seems to be no different, just covered with a layer of domineering skin?"

He pounded his fist again and found it was terribly hard.

It's one level harder than a piece of iron.

"The most important thing is Observation Haki..." Arthur was suddenly stunned.

Suddenly I thought: Did I lay a very good foundation?

Learn moves very quickly.

"How about I learn some Observation Haki?" Arthur suddenly understood and closed his eyes.

Rayleigh's domineering teaching slowly came back to his mind, forcing himself to close his eyes and feel the things around him.

Arthur practiced, trying to find the exit of the laboratory with his eyes closed.

At this time, Vegapunk walked out of the monitoring room and looked at Arthur running around in the hall of his laboratory with his eyes closed.

I couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing, navy boy?"

"Practice your observation skills." Arthur turned his head sharply to look at him, then pointed at him: "Am I pointing at the right person? You should be standing outside the monitoring room."

"This is not the ability to see and hear, it's the ability to locate by sound." Vegapunk looked at Arthur with contempt, then quietly waited for his fate.

"That's right. Sometimes I can dodge some attacks with my eyes closed just by relying on my intuition."

Arthur began to try to practice, having previously trained for survival and fear for his life.

Now, after the battle, it seems as if potential is gradually being stimulated, and new power is beginning to rise rapidly.

"MADS leader Vegapunk!" Dragon's voice reached the ears of the two from the corridor, and soon he appeared outside the laboratory where Arthur and Vegapunk were.

Dorag looked at the two of them. He was shocked to see Arthur acting as if nothing had happened. He asked with concern, "Arthur, is your injury okay?"

"Apart from the dull pain, nothing seems to be wrong," Arthur responded, knowing his body well.

The recovery ability was fast, but this time the body was left with scars.

"That's good." After Dragon's caring greeting, he immediately looked at Vegapunk in the laboratory.

Just as the rumors said, it had thick short brown hair that seemed to be glued to its huge head.

"I've heard rumors about you, Vegapunk. It's because you ate the Brain-Brain Fruit that your brain is so swollen now, right?" Dragon approached Vegapunk, wanting to know what he was researching here.

Why is Kaido here? Why is the only known surviving Lunaria boy also here?

What kind of research is the world government doing?

"Monkey D. Dragon, if you arrest me, you will lose a scientist who can change the world." Vegapunk met Dragon for the first time.

He felt a little scared of the stern-looking man in front of him, but he didn't run away.

"I just received an order from the headquarters. The higher-ups want me to arrest you, Vegapunk." Dragon said in a strong voice, frowning and asked him, "As long as you tell me what the World Government hired you to do here, I can consider letting you go."

"Why did the World Government suddenly order your arrest?"

He didn't understand and stared at Vegapunk, waiting for the answer from his mouth.

"I used Kaido's blood and the blood of the Lunaria named Abel to create something called bloodline factor for them."

For his own safety, Vegapunk planned to explain everything to the man in front of him.

"Bloodline factor? Is it another weapon of war?" Dorag was puzzled. He hated war.

"You can really believe that this technology is an unprecedented discovery. Once the finished product is unveiled to the world, it will be enough to cause panic around the world..." Vegapunk said excitedly.

His obsession with scientific research has reached a point of madness.

The bloodline factor is also the highest masterpiece of his current technology.

"What specific effect does it have?" Dorag was very shocked, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"It can be used in many fields, such as improving inferior genes and bloodlines. More importantly, it can be used to copy devil fruit abilities, but it has not yet been put into practice. This is just my current speculation."

Can a unique devil fruit ability be turned into a replica?

The conversation and question-and-answer session between the two continued, but Arthur had little interest in it and quickly left the laboratory with his knife.

He said to Dorag, "Colonel, this matter has nothing to do with a sergeant like me. I'm leaving first. Cooper might be crazy and looking for me everywhere."

After waiting for a while, Drago, who was talking to Vegapunk, ignored Arthur.

Arthur took his knife and left alone. These things in the field of science and technology had almost nothing to do with what he was pursuing.

What he needs is to become stronger, not mutate. The pursuit of swordsmanship, physical strength, and dominance is his goal.
