The Pirate Djinn - Chapter 5 Eternal Haki
“I will ask my father to make something later.” said Nate
“Alright then, I will impart you with the necessary knowledge required to train in the Mystic Art, you will lose consciousness for sometime. While you will be unconscious we begin relocating into the ring” said the Djinn
Soon Nate felt like something flowing into his head followed by sharp pain that caused him to lose his consciousness.
After sometime Nate woke up disoriented as he was having a hard time understanding the large amount of information that he was subjected to. As he looked around the cavern he noticed that the lights where dimmer and most of the crystals weren’t shining anymore. He examined his ring and noticed that it had some engravings in it with an eye in the middle.
“There are somethings that I need to inform you about.” Nate heard Baal within his mind “Now that I am possessing your ring, it could be considered a form of Metal Vessel and I can telepathically communicate with you.”
When Nate was about to respond to the Djinn he noticed that he was no longer in the cavern and was greeted by the sight of dazzling view of stars in the night sky with a bright moon drifting next to the horizon, he was also noticed a brilliant sun hovering on the opposite horizon.
“Welcome to [Mumazil Ul-Manzil]. This is a mindscape we created within the ring that can help you meditate and train while we Djinns can teach about our different powers.”
“Wow.. This is really cool, so does that mean that I have pocket dimension!” Nate was delighted.
“Did you forget what I just said, its just a mindscape so anything physical can’t enter and since Djinns are ethereal beings we are not bound by such restrictions.” replied Baal.
“Oh, you can’t blame me.. anyone would be excited after hearing a name like that and seeing a sight like this.” said Nate while embarrassed.
“It means ‘The House of Stars’ where we the Djinns are the stars that light our King’s path.” said Baal proudly “Since you are already here I will explain some of the mysteries of the Haki that can be gained through fusion. Although you have the technique, it will be lot simpler if I were explain some of the more confusing aspects to you.”
“Alright.” Nate focused on what Baal was explaining to him.
“As you might have already known the three types of Haki are Observation, Armament, and Conqueror’s Haki, all have three have there own strengths like the Observation Haki allows the user to sense the presence of others, even if they are concealed from view or too far to see naturally. The Armament Haki allows the user to use their spirit to create, in essence, an invisible armor around themselves that would be used to defend against attacks that would otherwise cause them harm. And finally the Conqueror’s Haki allows the user to exert their willpower over others.” summarized Baal.
“What you need to do when fusing these three types Haki is that, by using Armament Haki as a base you create a medium for the Conqueror’s Haki to insert its will or to be more precise your will and then by using Observation Haki you provide the senses.” explained Baal “And the end result will an energy medium similar to the Rukh which is compatible with our powers. And this form of Haki is more potent than any other and will cause more damage to your enemies.”
“Amazing!!” Nate was astonished.
“It will be ten times more powerful than regular Haki techniques.” said Baal “It will be more devastating on devil fruit users since this type of Haki will give them continuous damage after just one blow.”
“Wow!!” Nate was thrilled “What is it called?”
“Its called the Eternal Haki due to its nature to exist for a long period of time similar to a poison due to its will and senses.” stated Baal.
“Oh, so does that mean any damage done by this type of Haki will keep on hurting for a long period of time?!” Nate was practically over the moon when Baal decided to smack him down to dirt.
“Yes, but its not just with its perks. In order to train in this type of Haki you need to first master the other three, then you need to learn how to manipulate them using the mystic art and then fuse it all together. Finally get better at imbuing it and getting used to it in battle.” said Baal scornfully “Who knows how many years it will take with your talents.”
“So what, we have lot of time.” said Nate casually since he knows that its only been three years since the Pirate Era began “I am just three years old, I have lot of time left to train before I set sail to conquer the seas.”
“The mystic art also contains a method to refine your body with the help of Eternal Haki” said Baal “It will help in making your body much stronger than possible which will help in handling the recoil from your Full Body Equip. Also never eat a devil fruit, this is an order from the Supreme Void.” said Baal.
“Why?” Nate asked confusedly
“Your soul will be corrupted with devil fruit energy and you will not be able to use Eternal Haki” stated Baal. “Which will result in you losing any powers you gained through the Djinns.”
“Hmm, not much of lose there.” Nate didn’t mind losing out on a devil fruit since he had Eternal Haki and Djinns at his disposal. “Will I be able to teach others how to use Eternal Haki?”
“Devil Fruit users aside, as long as they have sufficient talent and have awakened all three types of Haki, they will have some chance in learning it with the help of the Mystic Art.” replied Baal.
“I need to try and teach it my crew once I have gathered them.” Nate was lost in thought when he suddenly recalled. “Wait!!!..How long was I stuck here?!!”
