Chapter 74
The old man was so angry that he was forced to leave.
"Haowang Haki..."
Flying Squirrel muttered to himself, but he quickly reacted and stared at his boss who was smoking with his legs crossed in disbelief:
"Wait! You awakened the Domineering Haki!?"
Darren glanced at him and smiled:
"Yes."
In the battle between Lubeck Island and Doflamingo, he ordered Flying Squirrel to lead the navy to directly block the island, evacuate civilians, and set up a cordon.
When he and Doflamingo had a collision of Domineering Haki, Flying Squirrel was still busy issuing orders, so he didn't know.
"When did it happen!?"
Flying Squirrel took a breath of cold air, his face full of confusion.
He had heard that Conqueror's Haki was rare. In the North Sea, even the previous North Sea Admiral, Sakaski, who was called a "monster", failed to awaken it successfully.
Perhaps in the Grand Line or the New World, many strong men have awakened Conqueror's Haki, but they are basically famous strong men among pirates.
For example, the great pirate Whitebeard, and the mysterious Roger.
However, in the navy, there are very few people who can awaken Conqueror's Haki.
As a violent law enforcement agency under the World Government, the Navy focuses on discipline and obedience with clear levels. There is simply not enough space and soil for free will to arise, not to mention that there is a high and mighty existence like the world's noble Celestial Dragons above them.
Under such conditions, it is as difficult for a navy to awaken the "spirit of the king" as to ascend to heaven.
As far as Flying Squirrel knows, the only ones who have awakened Conqueror Haki in the Navy are the current Admiral Kong Ganggu, Admiral Buddha Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters, and the strongest Marine Vice Admiral Garp, who is known as a "hero".
But now Darren actually told him that he has successfully awakened Conqueror Haki! ?
Does this mean... this guy's talent is stronger than the so-called "monsters" Sakaski and Borsalino?
If he didn't know Darren's character, Flying Squirrel would have thought he was fooling him.
"When..."
Darren exhaled a stream of smoke from his mouth, and said with a half-smile:
"It's probably when Shields Saint was attacked by a sea king creature and died... probably..."
"Well, if you also want to awaken the Conqueror's Haki, I have a good way."
The flying squirrel had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still asked:
"What?"
Darren threw up a coin.
The coin suddenly melted and twisted into a gleaming dagger in mid-air.
The sharp tip of the knife was perpendicular to the ground and pointed directly to the sky.
"Kill a Celestial Dragon."
He said lightly.
Flying squirrel: ...
The corners of his mouth kept twitching, and several black lines rose on his forehead.
"Are you serious?"
Darren shrugged and said:
"Who knows? This is just my guess, but I think it is likely to be useful."
"This method may not be very effective for pirates, after all, they are lawless guys... But for the navy, it will definitely have an extremely drastic impact on their personal will."
"The so-called domineering aura, based on my personal experience and understanding, is ultimately the external manifestation of personal will and courage, and generally awakens in extreme states."
"This extreme state does not refer to physical danger. After all, as a navy, we take great risks whenever we go on a mission... The so-called extreme state refers to the spiritual state."
"As a navy, from the day we put on our military uniforms, we have been trained and educated to obey orders and safeguard the world. "We may be defending justice, but we know deep down that our mission and actions are more about maintaining the rule of the World Government." "And at the top of the World Government are the Celestial Dragons who sit high above the clouds and call themselves "Gods." Darren's voice gradually became lower, his deep eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he smiled and said: "For a navy, what is more exciting than killing the "God" who is high above and gives us orders?" "How about it, do you want to try the feeling of killing God? Watching the ugly faces of the Celestial Dragons wailing in front of you, witnessing them kneeling in front of you begging for mercy, leaving the noble and great descendants of the Creator without posture and dignity
..."
"Aren't you curious about that feeling?"
The flying squirrel looked at Darren's half-smiley eyes, shuddered, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Hahahahaha!"
Seeing the flying squirrel take a step back, Darren couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The flying squirrel rolled his eyes in annoyance,
"You bastard, don't tempt me... You are such a devil! ”
“No wonder you can’t take care of that kid Doflamingo. Sometimes I start to wonder if your devil fruit has the ability to bewitch people…”
I have to admit that the flying squirrel actually found that he was tempted by Darren’s proposal for a moment!
However, as soon as this thought came up, he felt a chill all over his body, and the pores on his back stood up.
The dagger in the air turned back into a coin again. The lines, numbers and patterns on it were exactly the same as before, without any change, and it was extremely delicate.
Darren caught the coin falling in the air, gently placed it on the desk, and smiled:
“That ability may exist, but in the final analysis, the so-called human heart is actually very simple.”
“As long as it is a human, whether it is a high-ranking superior or a humble civilian, there are weaknesses and desires.”
“Money, wealth, power, status, fame, beauty, gambling, cigarettes, wine... There are many ways to kill a person, and violence is the simplest and most direct way. "
"But if you want to destroy a person's will, you must find his weakness."
"The desire to destroy is a weakness that most people have."
"Don't be surprised. Our navy's duty is of course to 'protect', but the navy is also human, and humans have desires."
"When faced with magnificent and extremely beautiful things, you will have the urge to worship, pity and protect them at the first time, but in the deepest part of your heart, you will also have a twisted desire to destroy..."
"'What would it feel like if I destroyed such a beautiful thing with my own hands...' We often have similar thoughts."
"So there are love stories in the world... where people who can't get love will be cruelly killed."
"And what is the most sacred, beautiful, noble and greatest thing in the world?"
"Naturally, it is the World Government and the Dragon People."
"Perhaps one day, when the people of this world look at the behemoth that has ruled the world for 800 years, their fearful eyes will change a little. How wonderful would that picture be? ”
