Chapter 181 That wasn't greed, it was madness.
Human lifespan is finite, so aging and disease are unavoidable.
Not everyone can possess extraordinary physical abilities like Charlotte, Kaido, and Garp.
Many people feel powerless when facing aging.
This also means that his peak period is over.
Even though they still possess formidable combat power, deep down they still harbor some resentment.
Therefore, in order to restore their bodies to their peak condition, many people try various methods.
For example, body modification, the creation of pure gold.
However, the method described by the author of this book is somewhat different.
While he was unwilling to accept his decline, he was also keenly aware that it was a natural process that he could not reverse through human effort. Continuing to wallow in self-pity would only erode his fighting spirit and cause him to fall into depravity, so he quickly corrected his thinking.
but……
Could he weaken others? This was his new idea.
That is to use one's own domineering aura to weaken the domineering aura of others, or more accurately, to plunder the domineering aura of others.
Plundering and domineering?
Qi can influence each other.
The impact and destruction created by the clash of their domineering auras prove that the power of domineering auras can be superimposed and spread, and their power is not simply 1+1>2.
In the event of conflict, can my domineering aura grant me the enemy's original power?
Hmm, that's a new idea!
While watching, Roman was also thinking.
The abilities of Devil Fruits have been explored in countless ways by most users, but not everyone has the opportunity to eat one. Moreover, an ordinary Devil Fruit costs at least 100 million Berries, which means that most people can only look on with envy.
Theoretically speaking, everyone has a domineering nature; it's just a matter of whether they can unleash it.
To put it more humorously, this person is telling you that even domineering behavior can be used in creative ways, as long as you dare to think, have a big imagination, and have the ability to back it up.
Honestly, it's not impossible.
Take, for example, Shanks's "Observation Kill".
Normally, visual color (見聞色) is considered a form of perception.
After activating Observation Haki, the five senses will be rapidly enhanced, and the opponent's moves can be judged, which is a common use.
Of course, some people will use it for other purposes.
For example, Roman can use Observation Haki to listen to her heartbeat and sense emotions.
Foreseeing the future and distinguishing truth from falsehood are additional functions that masters of Observation Haki can perform. The more they train and the stronger they become, the greater the scope of influence and effect that Haki itself can have.
However, Shanks's "Observation Kill" revealed to everyone that Haki could be used in this way.
He used a reverse operation to conceal himself, so that others' Observation Haki could not detect his movements at all.
It has to be said that he took his domineering aura to an extreme.
Whether this power comes from Shanks' Conqueror's Haki or Observation Haki is still under debate.
But it also presents new possibilities.
However, this person did explicitly state that the domineering aura contained the concept of "eating".
Swallow the anger of others and make it your own.
This also reminded Roman of his second battle with Mihawk.
At that moment, he actually felt Mihawk's Haki attached to the blade weaken, while his own Haki strengthened.
Is this the kind of special case they're talking about?
"Qi is the outward manifestation of the body's energy, which can represent a part of your power. Therefore, it can react against the enemy and cause them harm. So why don't I try to absorb the enemy's power to strengthen myself?"
Eat it?
"The domineering auras of the two collide and intertwine through their carriers, thus unleashing power. But what I want to say is that the domineering auras between you do not necessarily need to resist each other. You can 'encircle' it and then plunder it."
The further along the text goes, the more abstract the descriptions become, and the more difficult the content is to understand.
Roman felt that his mind could no longer keep up with the author's train of thought.
Devouring someone else's domineering aura? What would happen in practice?
No, let me think about it carefully for a while first.
For a long time, she has used the aura of others to stimulate her own domineering aura, making her domineering aura more active and aggressive. So, if we consider domineering aura as a simpler form, such as an overflowing energy, can we also see the use of feelings of crisis and the environment as a form of stimulating energy?
Qi also needs to be replenished and stimulated.
Qi comes from within, so when your physical strength is weakened or you are in despair, you cannot use your Qi. Only after you recover can you once again display your domineering aura.
However, in this regard, everyone is thinking about restoring themselves, rather than satisfying themselves by plundering others.
Looking at the calorie-packed compressed biscuits in his hand, Roman made another connection.
Yes, it's food, food.
Energy absorbs energy, making itself stronger.
Domineering aura isn't just for fighting; it can also be used to absorb the opponent's domineering aura.
This is a way to strengthen oneself by consuming the enemy's supplies.
"Surround"?
That's a bit abstract.
Roman gathered his Haki in his hands. Because Haki can be shared between different entities, even the book in Roman's hands was tainted with Haki and turned black.
Now it's no longer an ordinary book, but a weapon that can instantly smash someone's head.
The simplest form of Armament Haki is to increase hardness, because the aura surrounds the body, forming a protective layer.
To break through, we must use even more powerful weapons.
This is defense.
So how can one make domineering become greedy?
The sheer arrogance of being so greedy as to be willing to devour the other party.
Roman continued reading.
"Haki is the power of the heart. I once heard that people who eat Devil Fruits gain all sorts of abilities because their bodies are inhabited by demons. The demons' wishes are held by the users, and with the blessing of those wishes, the users use their bodies to fulfill the demons' wishes. This is a reflection of the heart. If we extrapolate from this, is Haki the same?"
"If even Devil Fruits, which are external forces, can obey our development and desires, then why can't my own Haki obey my will? What I want is to eat the other party and gain power."
In one's heart?
Roman felt as if he were caught in a huge whirlpool, and the more he struggled, the deeper he went.
She felt it was a task so difficult it was almost impossible, but the other person's idea seemed to have a magical power that made Roman want to continue exploring.
To devour the other party's greed?
If it were truly possible, that wouldn't be greed, it would be madness.
But that's precisely what makes it interesting!
