Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain

Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Unlike Hancock and her younger sisters, Shakky’s expression was the same as Rayleigh’s.

Shakky, who was quite familiar with Conqueror’s Haki, was shocked when she realized Lin Tian was emitting Conqueror’s Haki. However, she was not surprised. It was only natural for someone like Lin Tian to have the qualifications to become a King.

He was already a Commodore at a very young age, and his fighting strength had already surpassed Rear-Admiral. At the same time, he was able to withstand Conqueror’s Haki for quite a long time.

“Shakky, what happened to Lin Tian?” Hancock asked and looked at Lin Tian with a worried expression on her face.

Shakky smiled and answered happily: “Now Lin Tian is transforming. If he is successful, his fighting strength will probably increase greatly.”

Even though he was new to Lin Tian, ??Shakky had already fallen in love with Lin Tian. Of course, this is not a feeling that Hancock feels, but this is a feeling that parents continue to support their children. So, seeing Lin Tian trying to transform to become strong, Shakky was delighted.

Hearing Shakky’s explanation, Hancock let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also felt happy that Lin Tian was able to increase his strength.

Feeling the aura emanating from Lin Tian, ??Sandersonia gaped curiously: “Shakky, what happened to Lin Tian?”

“Looks like he managed to awaken his Conqueror’s Haki now,” Shakky explained softly.

“Impossible…!” At Shakky’s words, Sandersonia and Marigold gasped. Shakky explained beforehand, so they knew how powerful Conqueror’s Haki was.

Everyone is eager to have this power, but it is a shame that this power is attached to one’s soul and cannot be mastered by mere practice. Now that Lin Tian truly awakened Conqueror’s Haki, Lin Tian had the qualifications to become a King that only one in a million people possessed.

At this time, Rayleigh didn’t know why suddenly pulling out Conqueror’s Haki, which he inflicted on Lin Tian.

The main trigger why Lin Tian was able to awaken Conqueror’s Haki was due to Rayleigh’s Conqueror’s Haki’s constant suppression, and now that Rayleigh had drawn his Conqueror’s Haki, the weak Conqueror’s Haki Lin Tian emitted disappeared in an instant.

Feeling that the aura that Lin Tian emitted was disappearing, Hancock chided him strangely: “What’s wrong? Why did the aura suddenly disappear?”

“Did he fail?” Sandersonia was unsure of her guess.

They all knew that the aura Lin Tian emitted was a form of his Conqueror’s Haki. Now that Conqueror’s Haki is gone, does that mean Lin Tian’s awakening of Conqueror’s Haki failed?

Shakky looked at Rayleigh with a confused look. Shakky also found that Rayleigh’s Conqueror’s Haki had also disappeared. Lin Tian was able to awaken his Conqueror’s Haki because Rayleigh suppressed his potential continuously.

In the beginning, if Rayleigh had continuously suppressed Lin Tian with Conqueror’s Haki, Lin Tian could most likely awaken his Conqueror’s Haki, but why did Conqueror’s Haki retract at the last moment? This made Shakky wonder.

Once Rayleigh’s Conqueror’s Haki disappeared, Lin Tian’s consciousness gradually recovered as well. Lin Tian, ??who just came to his senses, shook his head and slowly got up.

Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief as he felt control of his body return.

Although this practice was only a few minutes, what Lin Tian felt was different. He felt that time had passed so long, and every second was torture for him.

Seeing Lin Tian awake and nothing bad happened, Hancock’s heart felt like it was falling.

She felt concerned and asked: “Lin Tian, ??are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“Hey, Lin Tian, are you okay? Hancock is anxious for you. If I don’t stop her, she will go up to Rayleigh and force her to stop.” Seeing that Lin Tian was fine, Shakky was relieved and smiled at Hancock.

There was also a smile on Rayleigh’s face. Although his attention was focused on Lin Tian, ??Rayleigh could see what Hancock would do beforehand.

Seeing the others laughing at her, Hancock blushed, and then she covered her face with her delicate white hands.

Lin Tian felt the worry from everyone’s heart, a warm feeling rose in Lin Tian’s heart, and this feeling of being cared for by others felt very comfortable.

Lin Tian looked at the embarrassed Hancock and grabbed her hand with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’m not hurt; it’s just that I’m a little tired.”

“Rayleigh, you bastard, how dare you to do such an evil thing to my beloved!” Hancock shouted at Rayleigh.

Rayleigh could only smile wryly at Hancock’s harsh words, but in his heart, he only intended to help Lin Tian.

However, based on what Hancock said to me, I seemed to have done something mean to Lin Tian, ??which seemed unforgivable.

But Rayleigh only said those words in his heart. A woman in love is scary, especially for a young girl like Hancock. Rayleigh didn’t want to cause trouble with him.

Unlike Hancock, Lin Tian knew very well the meaning of Rayleigh’s intention to do this to him. Lin Tian looked at Rayleigh and said sincerely, “Thank you, uncle Rayleigh. Thanks to you, I was able to reach the threshold of Conqueror’s Haki.”

Seeing that Lin Tian could understand his good intentions, Rayleigh was pleased, “Lin Tian, ??now you understand that your dreams are still long, and you have unlimited potential.”

Listening to the conversation between these two people, Shakky and the others were filled with confusion. Why couldn’t Lin Tian awaken his Conqueror’s Haki yet? In their opinion, it wasn’t a bad thing.

That’s right, if it weren’t for the realization from Rayleigh, the current Lin Tian was not suitable for awakening Conqueror’s Haki, and he would have mastered it at the right time.

Lin Tian was delighted when he found that he had actually reached the threshold of qualification for a King under Rayleigh’s Conqueror’s Haki pressure.

As a reincarnated person, Lin Tian, of course, knew about Conqueror’s Haki, but the probability of one in a million was too low. Lin Tian had always believed that the determination he had had no potential to awaken Conqueror’s Haki.

But today, he found that he had the potential and managed to reach the threshold of Conqueror’s Haki. How could Lin Tian be unhappy?

At that time, Lin Tian hoped that Rayleigh could strengthen his Conqueror’s Haki until Lin Tian completely mastered his Conqueror’s Haki.

But on second thought, Lin Tian realized that the current he was still not suitable for awakening Conqueror’s Haki.

Since his Conqueror’s Haki aura was still too weak, so it wouldn’t be a good thing for him if his Conqueror’s Haki managed to awaken now.

In the past year, Lin Tian had experienced countless battles, but his fighting strength had only increased slightly. This is due to the weak foundation.

Even though the battles over the past year have honed my combat abilities, that’s only the rough part, and I still don’t have a solid foundation.

As an illustration, “A large building must have a solid foundation in the ground,” Lin Tian now understood the consequences of a bad foundation. Not only is his progress slowing down, but I have to deepen my foundations now, and it will be several times more difficult than in the past.

He is currently unable to master Conqueror’s Haki fully, but after receiving a test from Rayleigh, he is naturally triggered to reach Rayleigh’s level and surpass the people around him.

In addition, Conqueror’s Haki cannot be strengthened by just training but must be accompanied by the user’s growth.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Tian still didn’t want to awaken his Conqueror’s Haki right now, but at that time, he couldn’t tell Rayleigh at all. But luckily, Rayleigh saw this clearly as well and retracted his Conqueror’s Haki in time.

Also, since I have found out that I have the potential to awaken Conqueror’s Haki, it is not too late to find a way to awaken Conqueror’s Haki, so I must have a solid foundation. However, I still have less combat experience than other Conqueror’s Haki owners.

So Lin Tian was grateful to Rayleigh very sincerely for showing him such great potential.
