Pirates: Awakening of the Divine Religion, I just want to teach and preach Chapter 005

Armament Haki!

There are various abilities on this sea.

Powerful close-quarters combat techniques, incredible Devil Fruit abilities, terrifying swordsmanship that can cut the sea with a single stroke…

Due to different focuses in training, everyone develops in different directions.

But one thing is certain: mastering Haki is the only path to becoming a true powerhouse!

Specifically, Haki is divided into Conqueror’s Haki, Observation Haki, and Armament Haki.

Conqueror’s Haki is an innate ability and cannot be awakened through conventional training.

Only Observation Haki and Armament Haki can be mastered through cultivation.

Armament Haki can enhance one’s defense, acting like an invisible armor.

It can also be evolved into offensive power, allowing one to contend with Devil Fruit users, and even touch the true form of Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

And the man in front of him, with his sinister eyes and a terrifying scar on his neck, was clearly a powerhouse who had mastered Armament Haki!

Vein’s heart sank as he looked at the foot, which seemed to be coated in black paint, pressing against his saber.

He had indeed judged correctly.

But since he had made up his mind to act, he would not back down.

If he could save Zephyr’s wife and child in this destined tragedy, he would be able to cling to the latter’s thigh.

And most importantly, although the group of pirates in front of him was not weak, he did not need to kill them all.

He just needed to hold on for a few minutes until the Marine’s reinforcements arrived.

He’d risk it all!

“You haven’t even mastered Haki, and a mere Marine Lieutenant Commander dares to join the fray?”

The leading man felt the force of Vein’s saber and a cruel sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At first, he thought a Vice-Admiral level expert from Marine Headquarters had arrived.

But upon seeing the shoulder epaulets on Vein’s Marine cloak, which indicated a Headquarters Lieutenant Commander, his apprehension quickly dissipated.

A mere Marine Lieutenant Commander couldn’t stir up any waves, let alone stop their actions.

As he spoke, the power in his foot suddenly erupted.

Under the explosive force of Armament Haki, Vein felt a磅礴冲击力 from the saber in his hand, his expression changed, and he stumbled back several steps.

A burning sting came from the tiger’s mouth of his hand.

He didn’t even need to look down to know that his tiger’s mouth had been split open.

This was the power of Armament Haki!

Under normal circumstances, a person who has mastered Haki will easily gain an overwhelming advantage when fighting someone who hasn’t.

“Kill him!”

After forcing back the troublesome Marine with a single strike, the man’s indifferent eyes erupted with chilling killing intent, and he roared sharply.

The surrounding pirates immediately reacted and swarmed forward.

“Go!”

“He’s alone!”

“Hurry up! Kill him!”

The pirates’ eyes radiated a crazed killing intent, even glowing red.

In the smoky darkness of the night, they looked like hungry beasts, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Killing intent rushed over him, but a stern, cold smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Vein’s mouth.

He flexibly dodged the strike of the pirate charging at the front with a swift side step, his movements clean and decisive.

Then, in the instant the pirate froze, the saber, held in a reverse grip, suddenly swept up.

Chii—

The sharp blade of the saber easily cut through flesh, tearing a half-meter long gruesome wound directly across the pirate’s chest and even his neck.

Blood spurted out like a fountain.

The saber was stained with blood, and specks of blood splattered on the young face of the Marine Lieutenant Commander, staining his handsome features with an eerie bloodiness.

After successfully landing the strike, Vein did not hesitate, his eyes as cold as ever, and he stepped forward decisively.

Marine Six Powers: Soru (Mastery) – You can perform the combat techniques of the Marine Six Powers almost perfectly, possessing superhuman physical abilities.

Vein’s figure, like a phantom, darted through the lingering flames on the ground. In a flash, a ghastly crimson blade light bloomed again.

Chii—

Chii—

Two more pirates who rushed forward trembled all over, their grinning faces suddenly froze, and their pupils gradually filled with terror and disbelief.

“Such a fast blade…”

“How is this possible…”

Before they could finish their words, two crimson gashes exploded simultaneously in their throats.

With a bang, they both knelt on the ground, desperately clutching the wounds in their throats, but blood continued to gush out from between their fingers.

Seeing this, the leader of this group of pirates’ pupils contracted, and a hint of disbelief surged in his heart.

This was… swordsmanship at the level of a swordsman!

This young Marine Lieutenant Commander had actually cultivated his swordsmanship to the level of a swordsman!

Coupled with the high-speed movement technique this guy had just displayed, and the effortless way he used it.

Damn it!

When did such a genius appear in the Marines?

This was not something a Headquarters Lieutenant Commander could do!

However, in that instant of distraction, the Marine Lieutenant Commander struck again.

Two pirates roared and leaped up from behind him, both holding sharp, gleaming longswords high.

They launched a sneak attack from behind, slashing fiercely towards Vein’s neck.

It was imaginable that if these two strikes landed, the Marine Lieutenant Commander’s head would definitely be separated from his body.

However, the next second—

Clang—

Clang—

Two sharp metallic clanging sounds exploded simultaneously, deafening the two pirates and making their faces change drastically.

Sparks flew.

The two only felt as if they hadn’t struck flesh and blood, but rather steel.

Six Powers: Tekkai (Mastery) – By strengthening the body’s muscles, the skin and flesh gain a hardness comparable to steel, making them impervious to blades and bullets.

Vein, whose back of the neck had been struck by the two, narrowed his eyes and his body sank slightly.

He extended his blood-stained hand and suddenly pressed down on the hilt of his saber, assuming a diving posture.

“This…”

The pirate leader’s eyes widened, his heart pounding.

“One-Sword Style: Iai Slash!”

Without even looking, Vein abruptly turned and drew his saber with a fierce motion.

As the strong wind swirled, a brilliant flash of blade light erupted, briefly illuminating the dark night.

The crescent-shaped sword slash, like a snowy white silk ribbon, heavily struck the chests of the two pirates.

Crackling sounds of bones breaking rang out, and huge bloody gashes were forcibly torn open on the pirates’ chests.

They transformed into two bloody streaks of light, flying into the distance and falling heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.

Flying Slash!

Swordsmanship ( 64.56%) – Swordsman Realm!

Seeing this, the pirate leader could no longer restrain himself. Veins of blood appeared around his pupils, and he roared:

“You guys go take care of the target, this guy is mine!”

He finally understood.

This guy was definitely not an ordinary Marine Lieutenant Commander.

The strength this Marine displayed was definitely at the level of a Marine Rear Admiral!
