│3rd Person POV│
[Grand Line, New World, Beehive Island…]
Ron felt as if his head were on the verge of exploding under the influence of Teach’s power.
Yet, he couldn't resist it at the moment as the force was overwhelming, rendering him completely defenseless.
‘Damn it! Why is the awakening of Observation Haki so much more painful than Armament Haki! The physical pain doesn’t come close to the pain I’m suffering in my head!’ Ron cursed inwardly, feeling a sense of helplessness in the current situation.
However, stopping was not an option at this moment.
As Teach had mentioned earlier, once initiated, there was no possibility or opportunity to halt the process. As time elapsed, Ron's senses became numb and he stopped feeling any pain.
After an indefinite period of being completely senseless, Ron’s senses began to open one by one.
‘Did it succeed?’ Ron thought, his spirits lifting.
With him experiencing the awakening of Armament Haki just some moments ago, he had a rough idea of what Observation Haki's awakening would feel like.
Soon, even with his eyes closed, he could see things that he couldn’t with open eyes, he could hear things far more clearly. His sense of smell, taste, and touch were also enhanced.
Not surprisingly, Teach also seemed to have noticed this, as he began withdrawing his power from Ron’s body rapidly.
This also caused Ron’s suppressed Conqueror’s Haki to burst out suddenly.
Ron's closed eyes snapped open, releasing a surge of power that enveloped the surrounding area.
In an instant, he felt invigorated, as his awakening of all three Haki significantly enhanced his strength.
Ron felt as if he had undergone a complete transformation and only now was he truly seeing the world around him properly.
Without hesitation, he swiftly accessed the copy panel to check his progress.
‘Copy Copy: Status Panel!’
As Teach had indicated, awakening Color of Observation and Color of Armament would not only improve his strength but also boost the development rate of his Copy Copy Fruit.
He knew that Teach was right as the feeling of fullness that was ever present in him since copying the Phoenix Fruit finally disappeared.
Even then, he wanted to see that reflected in his status.
【Ron】
【Age: 14】
【Strength: Commodore 】
【Devil Fruit: Paramecia-type; Copy-Copy Fruit】
【Development Progress: 33%】
【Copied abilities: Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit; Bird-Bird Fruit; Model: Phoenix (33%)】
【Number of copies available: 1】
‘Oh! The development rate went up by 4%, and it only went up by 2% when I awakened Armament Haki. Why is that?’ Ron questioned in his mind, his pupils shrinking at the enhancement revealed on the copy panel.
While the earlier awakening of the Color of Armament had brought some improvement, the actual improvement was relatively modest compared to the remarkable progress he was currently witnessing.
This is simply incomprehensible, and truly beyond his expectation.
‘By the way, I am now at the Commodore level!’ Ron's attention shifted toward the strength column after a while as he regained his composure.
"Ron, how did it go? Are you able to copy another Devil Fruit now?" Teach asked from the side, sensing the change in Ron's aura and knowing that he had reached the Commodore level.
Feeling excited in his heart, Teach eagerly awaited Ron's response. After so much trouble, only a single step remained for his plans to succeed.
"Yes, I can!" Ron replied, his emotions settling down as he looked at Teach beside him. "Teach, thank you very much.
“If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to awaken the two basic Haki types before even reaching the Commodore level.
“Not only that, I can clearly feel the presence of all the people in my surroundings, even those who are not visible to me because of some obstacles.
“Just after awakening Observation Haki, I am close to mastering the Presence Sensing technique. That’s just awesome.”
Ron was feeling genuine gratitude for Teach at the moment, acknowledging the role he played in his progress.
Despite being part of Teach's calculations, Ron was willing to recognize the invaluable assistance Teach provided in accelerating his growth.
"You're welcome," Teach responded with an equally excited smile. "I’m glad that I could help you. This was my first attempt at something like this.
“There were considerable risks involved. If something were to go wrong, you and I would both have to bear the consequences."
Hearing this Ron smiled on the outside while inwardly, he was sure that Teach dared to do this only because he was absolutely sure that this would work.
His words just now were undoubtedly hinting at the fact that he wouldn’t do this again in the future.
After all, Ron had asked Teach previously if he could also help others awaken their Haki.
If Ron didn’t have enough value, he wouldn’t have enjoyed Teach’s help.
Considering this, Ron promptly echoed Teach's sentiments, expressing, "It was indeed dangerous. I felt like I was on the verge of death several times.
“To be honest, I feel a little fortunate that everything went as it should have.
“After going through your shortcut method, I feel that the most suitable approach is to diligently work towards awakening the two basic Haki types after reaching the Commodore level.
"Now that I've reached the Commodore level, I can train to improve my Haki. Additionally, I can feel that my strength has significantly improved compared to before.”
After saying this, Ron's expression changed from excited to curious as he inquired, “Teach, what about you? How strong are you exactly?
"The power you need to be able to awaken others Haki through special techniques should be at least close to the Admiral Candidate level, right?
"No, no!" Teach quickly waved his hand, hoping that any such notion didn’t take root in Ron’s mind.
Inwardly he was thinking that if he admitted to having such high strength, there would be no hope or possibility of staying in the shadows in the future.
Reflecting on this, Teach continued saying, "My strength is just at the Vice Admiral level. Even If I go all out, I wouldn’t even touch the elite Vice Admiral level.
“I am far from achieving Admiral Candidate level strength. Additionally, I’m not skilled in combat. Despite possessing Vice Admiral level strength, my fighting ability is far weaker than others with similar strength.”
