Chapter 701: Sagros Aitalga (2)
"I will be careful."
Aitalga, who had slowly stood up, heard what Möbius said.
He grabbed his chin and twisted it hard, directly resetting his dislocated jaw.
Then, he nodded seriously in response.
That lesson just now was very profound.
If Möbius had truly attacked him, if Loki hadn't held back, then the outcome awaiting him would have been death.
Once he was wrapped by Möbius's black sinews coated with Armament Haki, he would have no way to break free.
And if Loki's blow had struck his head with full force, he would have lost half his life, even if he didn't die.
The defense provided by Armament Haki is not absolute.
It only serves to weaken the impact.
Force can be transmitted; ultimately, one's body still has to endure a portion of it.
Moreover, whether it was strength or Armament Haki, Loki was stronger than him.
Furthermore, the head is also a vulnerable part of the body.
Looking at Möbius and Loki, Aitalga felt immense respect in his heart.
The two were both his elder brothers and his Teacher.
Although his body still ached a bit, it was nothing to him.
He had experienced such pain countless times over the years.
With his powerful potential, he could almost fully recover his body just by sleeping.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
After going to sea with Möbius, Aitalga realized how vast this World was.
Everything was so novel.
Accompanying the Ten Thousand Snakes on their four seas tour, he witnessed Islands and Kingdoms of various styles.
And all sorts of unheard-of wonders of the Great Sea.
Aitalga was especially grateful to Möbius for taking him away from his remote Small Island.
To his hometown, he was the child of disaster.
His life in childhood wasn't good.
After all, because of his uncontrollable ability, the entire Island was affected by storms that would occasionally whip up.
It even caused serious negative impacts on the originally ordinary Island.
Fishermen who lived by the sea couldn't go to sea, and could easily be buried in the Great Sea if they weren't careful.
The merchant ships coming and going gradually decreased, unable to bring supplies from the outside world.
The harsh weather also affected the lives of the Residents.
Gradually, people started leaving the Island.
His hometown became desolate because of him, with fewer and fewer people.
Around the age of six or seven, he had already realized that these strange storms were likely caused by his influence.
Of course, the main reason was that the wind around him was often stronger, and the environment harsher.
Furthermore, the Island had been very peaceful before, and everything began shortly after he was born.
However, Aitalga hid it very well and did not expose his identity.
The main reason was that Aitalga lived in a relatively remote area, avoiding contact with people.
His parents were also educated people and realized early on that their Child might have a problem.
However, they did not give up cultivating Aitalga.
When Aitalga was six years old, having accumulated sufficient knowledge, they sent him to live by himself in a relatively remote part of the Island and instructed him not to expose himself.
But they would visit him often.
Aitalga also had an older sister and a younger brother.
Because of the companionship of his family, Aitalga's growth was actually not affected.
Before he left his hometown with Möbius, they had specifically said goodbye.
Now, he was able to control his ability and its range of influence.
He really wanted to go back to his hometown to see his family and tell them how strong he was now.
But now was not the time.
His hometown was in the South Blue.
And the Ten Thousand Snakes' four seas tour only had the North Blue left as a destination.
He wanted to follow the Ten Thousand Snakes and finish the four seas tour together.
It would only take two or three years of time, perhaps the speed would be even faster than expected.
At that time, at Reverse Mountain, he would disembark and return to the South Blue, back to his hometown.
Then, starting from the South Blue, he would begin his own journey.
Having seen the wider World, Aitalga was no longer content to remain ordinary.
He yearned to carve out a place for himself in this World.
He wanted to become a Pirate, and he also wanted to search for the One Piece, find that legendary treasure, and become the Pirate King.
Aitalga, who grew up around the Great Pirate Era, was undoubtedly influenced by the words of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, before his death.
Perhaps twenty years later, not many people would believe Roger's nonsense and would no longer pursue the elusive great treasure and the Final Island.
But now, countless Pirates shared a common target, yearning to become the next Pirate King.
They wanted to obtain the legendary treasure.
Even those Top-tier Great Pirates wanted to obtain it.
They coveted the ancient weapon in Roger's hands, the immense treasure capable of conquering the World.
Roger definitely possessed such a thing.
It was no secret to those Top Factions; the World Government's encirclement and suppression of him was proof.
And the current Aitalga was just one of those influenced.
More importantly, he needed to give himself a target, a reason to go to sea.
For Möbius, time also passed quickly.
Just a few years ago, he was still a little kid, but soon he could stand on his own.
He had long seen through Aitalga's thoughts.
Although it was a bit regrettable, Möbius actually supported Aitalga's plan to go to sea.
Because one more or one less Strongman didn't have much impact on the Ten Thousand Snakes.
Having himself, Loki, and Cho'Gath was enough.
Möbius wanted to build a Sea Entertainment City, which wouldn't affect the structure of the Great Sea.
On the contrary, Aitalga vying for hegemony on the Great Sea would actually be more interesting.
He still remembered the time after Aitalga first joined the Ten Thousand Snakes.
Storms that occasionally whipped up affected the voyage of the Thousand-Armed Bodhi.
Even such a massive super luxury battleship became somewhat bumpy.
During that time, Möbius and Loki had been teaching Aitalga how to skillfully use Conqueror's Haki.
The reason he couldn't control it was because Aitalga hadn't realized the existence of this strength.
Until three months later, Aitalga achieved control over his Conqueror's Haki.
However, it wasn't perfect.
Mastering its application took another four years of time.
Because he was too weak and possessed this strength too early.
This was also a good thing.
At such a young age, he had surpassed his peers in Conqueror's Haki by who knows how much.
