Pirates: Usurping a Kingdom Is Surprisingly Easy

The fierce battle that erupted on the outskirts of the Goa Imperial Capital attracted the attention of countless people. After all, the prosperous First Empire of the East Blue already had countless forces setting up branches and intelligence personnel within it. Even the World Government and Marine Headquarters were no exception.

However, the terrifying Conqueror's Haki collision between Kael and Dragon directly stunned a large number of citizens who came to watch the excitement and intelligence personnel with low strength. Even the Goa Barons like Van Augur, Laffitte, Capone Bege, Jesus Burgess, and Bartolomeo couldn't get close to the terrifying battlefield.

"Damn it! Who exactly is fighting?!" Bartolomeo felt the terrifying Conqueror's Haki from the outskirts of the battlefield, which made him dizzy and almost fall.

"It's too terrifying, what kind of enemy is it?! Is His Majesty and the 3 Marquises all fighting? Could it be that the Four Emperors have come to the East Blue?" These Barons all looked horrified. They didn't know who else in this world would dare to invade the Goa Empire, which possessed One Emperor, Three Marquises.

"Is it really the Four Emperors? How come the Four Emperors left the New World, and Marine Headquarters didn't even know? We must believe in His Majesty and the 3 Marquises; even if the Four Emperors come, they will fall."

As more and more people gathered on the outskirts of the battlefield, the entire Goa Empire became chaotic. Van Augur immediately jumped to a high place, wanting to use his ultra-long-range scope to see who the enemy was.

In a high-end club within the Goa Imperial Capital, several beautiful women were reporting the situation to their boss.

"Sister Stussy, a fierce battle has erupted outside the Goa Imperial Capital. It might be Tyrant Kuma and One Emperor, Three Marquises fighting. Is this newly appointed Warlord of the Sea really that strong? To actually be able to fight One Emperor, Three Marquises? We felt two extremely terrifying Conqueror's Haki."

Several high-ranking members of the pleasure district were reporting urgent intelligence to Stussy, the Queen of the pleasure district, who was far away in the New World.

"They really started fighting? No, I remember Kuma doesn't have Conqueror's Haki!"

Stussy spoke with a bit of helplessness, thinking that Kael hadn't held back against Kuma, but the next moment her eyes widened. This was not Kuma fighting One Emperor, Three Marquises at all.

"You guys find a way to find out who exactly is fighting."

Stussy's expression was a bit solemn. According to the intelligence she had, the strength of the 3 Marquises was indeed very strong, each not inferior to First Treasure Mastermind Don Chinjao and Jack. Besides the Four Emperors, who could defeat the combined attack of One Emperor, Three Marquises? Currently, all the Four Emperors are in the New World, so they can be ruled out. Just having powerful Conqueror's Haki, making countless people unable to get close, already rules out most of the strong individuals.

"Could it be Garp? Garp did indeed have contact with Kael before and taught Kael about Conqueror's Haki."

Stussy immediately picked up another Transponder Snail and called to inquire about Garp's location. But Garp had not returned to the East Blue; he was still at Marine Headquarters. Could it be some hidden powerhouse?

...

Besides Stussy's subordinates, the World Government's CP agents were also approaching the forest on the outskirts, wanting to know who Kael was fighting against. But the terrifying Haki still prevented these intelligence personnel from getting close. Going too deep would result in being stunned by the Conqueror's Haki, frothing at the mouth and fainting.

This terrifying Conqueror's Haki lasted for a full hour before slowly weakening, allowing the crowd to get a bit closer. But the fierce collision at the center of the battlefield became even more violent, and the ground tremors became increasingly terrifying.

In fact, the rampant Conqueror's Haki did not weaken; instead, its range was compressed smaller and smaller. Kael's Conqueror's Haki, after special training with Garp, gradually became proficiently controlled, and he continued to cultivate it during his voyages across the Four Seas, reaching the level of directional deterrence. Today, under Dragon's guidance and beating, he gradually compressed the fully unleashed Conqueror's Haki, which was a hundred times more difficult than directional deterrence. Even veteran Conqueror's Haki awakeners like Donquixote Doflamingo and Charlotte Katakuri are still at the realm of rampant unleashing and indiscriminate deterrence. They can't even achieve directional deterrence. Kael put in a lot of effort to achieve directional deterrence. He always knew that Haoshoku Haki Infusion was very important.

"You have already mastered the method of compressing Conqueror's Haki. Next, you need to continuously strengthen your spirit, make your Conqueror's Haki stronger, and constantly practice the compression process to reduce the compression time. I believe that if you practice for a few years, you will be able to instantly compress Conqueror's Haki and complete Haoshoku Haki Infusion."

Dragon looked at the scarred Kael. Although Kael had not yet mastered Haoshoku Haki Infusion, he had already glimpsed the path, and it would require more time to fully master it. In fact, Kael might even master Haoshoku Haki Infusion faster. That would be to fight Dragon to the death with a resolute determination, and in the midst of life and death, desperately master Haoshoku Haki Infusion. But how could Dragon truly engage in a life-and-death battle with Kael while surrounded by the 3 Marquises? What if he really killed Kael?

Moreover, Dragon also didn't want Kael to fully master Haoshoku Haki Infusion so quickly. As long as Kael hadn't fully mastered it, Dragon would still have leverage, and he could gain more time for the Revolutionary Army headquarters to relocate.

"Practice for a few years?"

Kael dispersed his Conqueror's Haki, staring at Dragon, panting, his whole body's muscles trembling as if he had reached his limit. Kael suspected that Dragon was still holding back and was an incompetent teacher. But Kael had no evidence. He had indeed figured out the method of compressing Conqueror's Haki, but now he just wasn't fast enough or strong enough.

"Practicing for a few years and still be extremely talented? Currently, among the pirates in the entire world, many strong individuals have awakened Conqueror's Haki, but those who have mastered Haoshoku Haki Infusion are fewer than the fingers on 2 hands. Mastering Haoshoku Haki Infusion gives you the power to challenge the Four Emperors. Haoshoku Haki Infusion is the standard for Four Emperors level powerhouses."

Dragon glanced at Kael. This Goa Emperor was truly greedy. Even the youngest of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks, only mastered Haoshoku Haki Infusion after turning 30. Dragon himself only gradually mastered Haoshoku Haki Infusion after his Conqueror's Haki strength was sublimated and strengthened when he transformed the Self-Defense Army into the Revolutionary Army. At that time, he was already nearly 40 years old. He admitted that Red-Haired Shanks, known as the strongest Conqueror's Haki user, had even higher talent than him. However, now seeing Kael, this Goa Emperor, his talent seems even more monstrous than Red-Haired Shanks. But even if Kael is monstrous, it's probably impossible for him to complete the awakening to coating of Conqueror's Haki within 2 years.

"Practice for a few years and still be extremely talented?"

Kael recalled Dragon's son, Straw Hat Luffy, who went from awakening Conqueror's Haki to Haoshoku Haki Infusion in just over 2 years.

"Your Majesty, many people are coming."

Fujitora immediately reminded Kael. If the outside world knew that Kael, the Goa Emperor, was actually learning from the leader of the Revolutionary Army, it would probably shock the entire world. Even the World Government would suspect whether Kael and Dragon had already colluded, which would be very bad for the Goa Empire.

"Then let the battle continue! You hit me so hard just now; hit him!"

Kael seemed to immediately turn hostile, instantly ordering the three to brutally beat Dragon, and he himself fiercely attacked Dragon.

"Kael, even if I can't kill you today, the World Government will destroy you because you are too powerful!"

Dragon also immediately stopped chatting, violently unleashing Conqueror's Haki, shouting, and at the same time, unleashing endless Wind Blades, leveling the entire forest. Then, in front of the crowd, he flew away at extreme speed.
