Chapter 699: Scope, Capacity, Smuggling!
The sofa in the Fleet Admiral's Office was filled with a group of burly men.
Even someone like Bogart, who looked slender, had a height of over two meters. Actually, as an ordinary Vice Admiral, he shouldn't have been sitting here.
But for some reason, Sengoku tacitly allowed him to participate in this Meeting.
"This is a document just sent over by the Command Department. It's about the advanced direction and specific methods for Haki Cultivation."
Sengoku handed the two documents in his hand to Garp and Kuzan. This was because he hadn't initially expected Bogart and Issho to be present.
The reason he asked them to look at it together now was because they were all there,
and their identity and strength met the condition, so he might as well not split them into two groups.
"What?!"
Garp's reaction was the biggest. His eyes widened considerably, and the words spoken by Saint Jaygarcia Saturn earlier suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Could this be that...?"
Kuzan also looked thoughtfully at the document in his hand, while Issho and Bogart beside him showed expressions of doubt.
"That's right, it should be Lord Imu who agreed to your request at that time."
"Puhahaha, looks like this person is good, quite generous!"
After hearing Sengoku's words, Garp threw his head back and laughed heartily. He developed a certain amount of favor towards the Im he had never met before.
After he came back at that time, he hadn't held out much hope for this matter.
After all, even if the other party possessed a Cultivation Secret Method that could reach a higher level, how could they possibly disclose it to people like them?
Not to mention, the other party was a Celestial Dragon...
But now it seemed, he was wrong.
That founder of the World Government, who had lived for nearly a thousand years, had a scope and capacity far beyond his imagination!
The fact that the other party dared to tell them this showed that they weren't worried about being surpassed at all. This was absolute confidence in themselves in all aspects. Their spirit was so vast, it truly left one speechless!
Having said that, Garp immediately opened the document and began reading the content, feeling quite impatient.
For a time, the Office fell silent, with only the sound of pages turning repeatedly. Sengoku, who had already read it, stroked the Little Sheep beside him with one hand while drinking the Green Tea in his teacup.
The content within the text was neither too little nor too much.
Im had written his Insights on Haki Cultivation on it using relatively concise writing.
"So that's how it is... balance, mix, compress..."
As Garp handed the document he had finished reading to Bogart beside him, he pondered and digested the content he had seen in his heart.
To summarize simply.
The general meaning was to cultivate different types of Haki to the same level, and then mix them together in a balanced proportion within one's consciousness.
Then, use firm will to compress them, making them merge into one to become the so-called 'Colorless Haki'.
It was mentioned above that this 'Colorless' didn't mean there was no color in its external manifestation, but rather that there was no longer a distinction between 'color systems', turning into the purest Haki.
And the conversion efficiency between this 'Colorless Haki' and will would be even higher.
Fluctuations in one's heart could be converted into the strength of Haki (Mental Energy) almost one-to-one. Extreme or heightened emotions would become the best fuel for Haki.
However, the difficulty of cultivating each type of Haki to the same level was considerable.
As mentioned before.
Everyone had their own talent bias in Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Just like Garp himself was biased towards Armament Haki.
Then his Observation Haki level would naturally be slightly lower than his Armament Haki level.
Therefore, if he wanted to transmute 'Colorless Haki', he would next have to find a method to strengthen his Observation Haki until it was at the same level as his Armament Haki.
At the same time, there was another issue involved here.
One must possess Conqueror's Haki!
And then raise it to the same level as Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
When he saw this explanation, Garp's expression immediately changed at that moment.
A bad feeling arose in his heart.
Finally, there was compression, which placed extremely strict requirements on a person's willpower.
Basically, anyone who could mix 'Colorless Haki' would be completely immune to most mental attacks, because their willpower could already be described as indestructible.
This was also the reason why Armament Haki and Observation Haki couldn't be mixed from the start.
"I really didn't expect that someone in this world could cultivate Haki to this Realm..."
After Issho finished reading, he felt nothing but awe. Bogart, sitting opposite him, nodded in agreement after listening, although he didn't say a word.
Kuzan, on the other hand, fell into hesitation.
Because he had just come into contact with the Path of Natural Energy Cultivation, and the cultivation of this 'Colorless Haki' clearly also required a lot of time and energy.
So he had to make a choice.
Which one first, which one later, which one primary, which one secondary?
At the same time.
Meanwhile, the higher-ups with combat power from the Army Headquarters, Marine Headquarters, Air Force Headquarters, and CIPHER POL Headquarters were also reading this 'Haki Insights' bestowed by Im.
Those who were confirmed to possess Conqueror's Haki had joyful expressions on their faces.
Because they saw a clear promotion direction.
It was foreseeable.
The current Admiral Level Combat Power will no longer be the future Highest Combat Power. The Power Ceiling of the Sea Star World will be directly raised to the height where Former Imu stood.
Titan World, Noah's Ark.
Stussy stood in the Study Room, looking at the notebook recording various information in her hand, and said softly.
"Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the Family Head of Wano Island, requests that the Ubuyashiki sisters be allowed to go home and stay for a few days to celebrate the New Year with their family."
Im raised an eyebrow upon hearing this report.
Indeed, the Ubuyashiki Four Sisters were still young girls who hadn't reached adulthood. It wasn't appropriate not to let them go back and see their parents for the New Year. He immediately agreed.
"Then let them stay there until February 10th."
"Also make an arrangement for them to take back some Danger Beast ingredients for their family to taste, and reward the Ubuyashiki Family with gold worth four hundred million Berry and a Thousand-Year Dragon Egg."
But at this moment, Stussy calmly said, "Lord Imu, according to Cipher Pol's investigation, the Ubuyashiki Family and the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps have been in close contact with Muzan Kibutsuji recently."
"Muzan Kibutsuji is not only using his ability to provide physique enhancement for them, but also seems to be planning to restart the Relationship Network of the Demon Slayer World and conduct Commercial Activity between the two worlds."
"Among them, Morgan William, the Logia-type Steam-Steam Fruit User who won seventh place in the previous 'Top 100 Combat Power Competition', is also involved."
"They transport various ingredients or certain strange plants and animals from the world to the Demon Slayer World for high-priced sale, and then use these Berry and gold to purchase needed supplies in the world, or even build factories."
"Do you think it is necessary to issue a warning and stop them?"
Im was quite surprised to hear this. What was this, a bottom-up, spontaneously formed inter-world smuggling Commercial Activity?
But was it really necessary to strictly prohibit this matter?
Of course, he understood the principle that guiding is better than blocking.
However, it didn't seem to be the time to fully open the Star Gate passage to the civilian population yet.
Moreover, the Demon Slayer World was currently the only world connecting the world to the Titan World. Military Control was still necessary...
