One Piece: I'm a Hunter on the Grand Line

Chapter 112 Where can you find a good teacher these days?

You lied to me.

Robin leaned against the edge of the bathtub, his face weary and his voice hoarse: "You're the one who sent me to Whiskey Peak to learn Observation Haki from you, but I ended up training my strength and stamina in the mountains instead!"

After a long day, she was so exhausted that she could barely move freely. She hadn't been this tired when she was on the run.

"This is basic training, an essential condition for enhancing your strength. You don't want to be captured by the Navy or bounty hunters one day, do you?" Yelena stepped into the bathtub and lay down comfortably.

Robin didn't speak, his eyes fixed on her.

Ten seconds or so passed.

Yelena blushed slightly as she was seen sliding into the water, leaving only her head above water.

"Stop, stop, stop. I'll teach you tonight, okay? Take a shower first, the water'll get cold soon."

After dinner, Vivi went to the side to practice her swordsmanship, while Yelena took out a piece of black cloth and blindfolded Robin.

She held an inflatable hammer in her hand, circling around Robin as she walked, saying:

"The essence of Observation Haki is our innate sixth sense, which can be enhanced through specialized training."

"I will attack you with an air hammer. You need to concentrate on sensing the attack and dodge it."

"When you can easily detect your opponent's attacks without relying on your eyesight, you've truly mastered the basics."

Robin nodded. "Let's begin."

Yelena swung the hammer at her.

"Ugh," Robin groaned as she was struck in the head, her body swaying slightly, but she remained unfazed. "Again."

Duang!

Robin frowned. "Again!"

Duang!

Robin gritted his teeth and forced out two words: "Again!"

Duang...

After dozens of blows, Robin collapsed to the ground, clutching her head. The cloth strip was removed, revealing bloodshot eyes and an alluring rosy glow beneath her tanned skin…

Yelena stroked her chin and put the air hammer behind her back.

This has been flagged as red.

"Don't think, just feel."

Swish!

Robin looked up, her eyes even more bloodshot, and said, word by word, "Are you sure this method will work?"

Vivi stopped training and walked over. She looked at Robin, whose hair was disheveled, and then at the air hammer in Yelena's hand. Her throat moved slightly, and she swallowed.

"Yeah, all we've seen in this short time is Sister Robin getting beaten up."

Yelena raised her chin. "What do you know? This method has been verified by a well-known expert. Whether it can be mastered quickly is hard to say, but it definitely works."

Luffy's Observation Haki was honed under Rayleigh's countless blows, wasn't it?

Compared to that old man, she was already very gentle.

It used an inflatable hammer, not a wooden stick, and it wasn't coated with Armament Haki.

Although she doesn't know how either.

"Keep going. You'll learn naturally after you get hit a few times." Yelena raised the air hammer.

Upon hearing that he was going to be beaten again, Robin's face quickly darkened.

"I see... Take care, Robin. I won't bother you any longer."

Weiwei's lips trembled a few times, but she quickly regained her composure. When she turned around, the trembling was now in her shoulders.

It was obvious that she was struggling to suppress her laughter.

A gloating fellow.

Yelena didn't argue with Vivi, but some people didn't want her to see the drama unfold.

"Eighty blooms..."

As soon as Weiwei took two steps, eighty arms emerged from all parts of her body and the ground nearby, palms interlocking to fix her in place.

"An ability user?!" Vivi's expression changed from joy to surprise.

She pushed her arms outward with all her might, instantly freeing a small portion of the restraints.

Robin's expression changed slightly. "He's quite strong."

She activated her abilities, her arms working in unison, and pulled Vivi to her side before she could completely break free of her restraints.

"You and I will suffer together... cough cough, we'll study together."

Vivi froze, stopping her struggle. "So Sister Robin is a power user! What amazing abilities!"

"Praising me won't help." Robin blindfolded Vivi with a strip of cloth, nodded to Yelena, and said, "Let's continue."

Robin's expression relaxed; having someone to share the beating with made him feel much better.

"Sister Yelena, can this really help me develop the Observation Haki you've been talking about?" Vivi asked, her eyes wide with anticipation despite her obstructed vision.

Compared to Robin, she yearns to become stronger.

Yelena nodded. "Don't worry, it will definitely work."

That should be fine.

Her mastery of Observation Haki is not high; she only has a superficial understanding of many aspects and is far from being able to guide others.

But there are no good teachers out there on the high seas, so I'll just have to make do.

Duang!

A few days later, Yelena also joined the game, her face covered by a cloth strip.

Three people with limited vision chased each other in the yard, each wielding the same type of air hammer.

Yelena activated her Observation Haki to its fullest extent, easily dodging the attacks of the other two and launching counterattacks in the process.

Engaging in offensive and defensive battles without being able to see the target consumes a lot of Observation Haki, but conversely, it also significantly enhances it.

During the day, they train in strength and physical fitness; at night, they practice Haki, swordsmanship, or Devil Fruit abilities. They also occasionally go out to sea to hunt pirates and engage in real combat. As a result, their strength steadily increases.

One year later, the Grand Line, the long island loop.

"Well!"

Yelena pulled the longsword from the pirate captain's chest, took out the wanted poster, and wiped the blood off the blade.

Looking around, hundreds of pirates lay on the ground, some covered in blood, some with their eyes rolled back, none of them able to continue fighting.

Except for the battlefield on the right.

Vivi, wearing a mask, is locked in combat with a pirate who wields a samurai sword in each hand.

Bang! Clang!

The sound of blades clashing carried far.

When the pirate saw Yelena had defeated her opponent and was staring at him, his eyelids twitched violently, his steps became unsteady, and his sword-wielding speed noticeably slowed down.

Vivi seized the opening and slashed out with her sword from the upper right to the lower left!

Click!

The pirate's twin swords broke, and "Hanazu" slashed across his chest and abdomen, causing blood to spurt out instantly.

The pirate swordsman trembled and fell to the ground.

"Not bad, you single-handedly defeated a pirate with a bounty of 70 million. Your strength is now completely different from when we first met."

Yelena took "Huazhou" from Vivi and wiped the blood off the wanted poster as well.

"Your habit is really strange." Vivi removed her mask, but the expected joy did not appear on her face. "Sigh, even today, I still can't turn my sword strikes into waves."

Seeing Vivi's troubled expression, Yelena smiled and shook her head. "Your physique and strength are already up to par. What you lack is an understanding of swordsmanship. I can't teach you that. Just try to grasp it slowly. Maybe you'll succeed tomorrow."

Even with a renowned master guiding him and eight years of rigorous training, Zoro couldn't achieve that. It wasn't until after setting sail and experiencing several life-or-death battles that he finally became a swordsman.

How long have you been training? You want to reach the "Sword Master Realm"?

"I don't know how much longer I'll have to wait."

Vivi raised her long sword and brought it down heavily in front of her. Apart from the sound of it cutting through the air, there was no other noise.

She smiled helplessly. "Hopefully we'll get to that point soon. By the way, what about Icarus and the others?"

"They chased a group of pirates eastward."
