Chapter 15: The Situation in the East China Sea

  "Hahaha... Great! You've caught all the pirates in the East Sea, which is good for me too. And I'm even more delighted to see that the personnel dispatched from the Warring States have been promoted back to their original department in no time. I'm really looking forward to seeing his dark face again——Wahahahaha!"

  A burst of laughter, and then Karp began to explain the situation in the East Sea to Hobodi: "Taking the Gemini Strait as a reference point, on our right side is the area around the Porsuta Islands near Rogg Town, and directly in front of the port of Rogg Town is the Sambas Sea, which we just mentioned, and where we are currently sailing. This is also the main place for your 76th branch to patrol at sea after this. The most famous restaurant in the East Sea, Barati, is also nearby.

  Near the center of Sambas Sea, to the right square, Konami Islands' Kokosia Village is a town that produces the most delicious oranges in the East Sea! These three islands are the three islands you will be patrolling later.

  In the Konami Islands, several hundred miles ahead of our current course, is the Yozba Island Sea Area. Behind this sea area, on an island in the East Sea, lies the largest fortress of the East Sea, stationed at Chelc Town.

  The waters of the Enn islands are where the kingdom of Goya is located in the East Sea, and my hometown of Windmill Village is also at the foot of that mountain.

  "Almost all major events in the East China Sea occur in the places I mentioned above."

  "Alright, the Jecro Islands are just ahead. Pokato, prepare a small boat for him and let him disembark at the islands!"

  "Hold on, Captain Karpov. Before you go, I have one more question to ask." Hobodi shouted as he wrapped the Shanghai Military Lieutenant's cloak around him.

  Ka Pu's expression changed suddenly, he rubbed his nose and looked silly: "What's the matter? You little guy also wants to do something big. If it's something I know about, I'll definitely tell you."

  Hoboldi recalled the scene of being trampled at Marindu Port a month ago, took a deep breath: "Overbearing, how should I cultivate overbearing? You should know this kind of existence, right?"

  "Huh?" Kaprow stared at Hobodi for a few seconds, and from the young man's eyes, he saw a thirst for power. Suddenly, he burst out laughing, tears streaming down his face, pointing at Hobodi and mocking him: "What's with you, kid? You've been making faces at me for a month, always thinking about the fear of being controlled by Sakaski? And in the end, you couldn't bear it and asked me? Hahahahaha..."

  "Then I'll ask you!" Hobodi didn't get angry either, his eyes staring straight at Kap.

  Hobold's expression made even Karp unable to laugh anymore. Karp said, "The aura of dominance is a power that lies dormant within the human body, and everyone can use it. However, the conditions for awakening it are too harsh, and most people cannot endure the suffering. Listen well, apart from the one in a million who possesses the aura of the Overlord, the best way to awaken the auras of Perception, Strength, and Defense is to push your body to its limits. Under intense stimulation, they will respond to your desire for power."

  "You haven't mentioned specific exercise methods yet."

  "Are you really going to get away with this?" Karp rubbed his temples, finding Hobodi's request extremely headache-inducing. However, under the pressure of those eyes, he couldn't just cover it up like that.

  Finally, Kapur sat down on the deck with his knees bent, and seriously explained to Hobodi: "You're really helpless, okay. Let me explain it for you. First is the color of seeing and hearing, that is, the ability to 'listen'. The best way is to cover your eyes, use your ears, and feel with your body! Like this..."

  Kapp made a demonstration, closed his eyes and picked up a doughnut, suddenly "whoosh" threw it into the sky, a passing seagull was hit, angrily squawking at Kapp.

  "Awesome!" Hobbit exclaimed.

  Kaputo smiled, and then said: "As for Busoshoku Haki, you've already experienced it in Sakaski's place, and it's not that great of a power. Busoshoku Haki is more about physical training, putting the body's strength on the surface of the skin, forming an armor-like shell, which can also be used as a weapon for the body. This is what Busoshoku Haki is. At the same time, it is also the only means to capture the natural element of the devil fruit ability holder. If you can master Kenbunshoku and break through your own limits, Busoshoku Haki's aura shouldn't be far off."

  "That Conqueror's Haki...!" Bopodi was no stranger to the two owners of Conqueror's Haki in the Punk Hazard Arc, Monkey D. Luffy and Donquixote Doflamingo, that kind of power that could knock down all sorts of small fries with just one glare.

  "You're too greedy, kid. The aura of a true leader is something that only one in a million people possess. That kind of aura is formed by the leader's own character and can't be obtained through cultivation or any other means. As for you..." The words trailed off as Karp shook his head with a disdainful expression, making his thoughts clear.

  Don't you have that kind of talent? Hobodi wasn't disappointed, and the last question was more because he couldn't understand the power used by those two on Pongkaret Island.

  But now the answer has been found; it's because of one's own aura!

  He now knows two specific ways of cultivating overbearing aura, and being greedy for more would be harmful to him.

  Hobbit bowed to Captain: "Thanks."

  Kapu snorted, farting out: "The overbearing training method is known to many in the Navy, but why can only a few people cultivate it? Don't think it's too easy."

  Here is the translation:

  "Speaking of which, he looked at Hoppodi with a worried expression: "Wanting power is not wrong, I don't know if what I'm saying is good or bad for you. The only thing I can tell you is some cases from the Navy Headquarters. In the past, some naval officers who tried to awaken their Ambition, many of them ended their naval careers prematurely due to excessive extreme training, and there were even those who died directly during training. After the Great Pirate Era, Ambition was only passed down among the middle-ranking officers and some gifted naval geniuses under Shichibukai's orders."

  "And I'm telling you this much, kid. During your stay here, make sure to protect the peace of Donghai for me! Got it?"

  Hobadi was skeptical of Kap's advice, having experienced extreme training in his past life. He had seen many people who trained to death, but most of the time it was due to either physical weakness and overexertion or uncontrolled training frenzy.

  He has his own set of methods, and for dominance, he must grasp it in his hands.

  Smiling, he nodded and at this time the warship had already arrived at the shore of Djoko Island. The boat was lowered and Hobodi jumped down, turned around and waved: "Goodbye, General Kapur."

  "Hmph, you ambitious little devil, I don't want to see you again."
