CP9 lay sprawled across the ruined square, each one encased in energy restraints forged from Jack cosmic alloy.
This cosmic alloy absorb their power and drained their stamina, it act like sea stone but more potent. Even Lucci, his body twitching from internal damage, could barely lift his head.
Spandam was trembling, Every marine in the vicinity had fallen unconscious, their minds overwhelmed by the conqueror Haki that dragon had released.
The only ones standing in the middle were the Straw Hat Pirates, and the man cloaked in shadows and wind Monkey D. Dragon.
Jack adjusted the controls on his wrist gauntlet, golden light shifting as the restraints tightened.
"Containment complete. CP9, neutralized. Their vitals are stable..barely," said Jack before looking at Luffy. "So captain what are we going to do next?"
"Let's go party," said Luffy cheerly.
Jack just shaking his head, "Captain I wanted to put them on prison."
"Huh why take them?" asked Luffy even the other become interested to know the real reason.
"Because they ate Devil fruit so I wanted to know either I can extract the devil fruit from them," replied Jack.
"WHAT!! You can extract devil fruit?" asked Luffy shocked. It is not just him who was shocked even Dragon looked surprised that a man wanted to test Devil Fruit extraction from a living human.
"The success rate is 50% that is why I need them because they ate Devil fruit," replied Jack.
"Ok," agreed Luffy.
Suddenly Dragon spoke up, "If it succeed can you share the technology with me?"
Jack nodded. "Yes but you need to teach us Haki."
Hearing this Dragon eyes widened before agreeing.
"Now… let's see if devil fruit powers can be extracted directly from a living host," said Jack while looking at Lucci who was on the grond.
"You're really planning to experiment on them? That's… kinda dark, metal-head," asked Sanji.
"Call it science. The World Government uses people as experiments all the time. I'm just reversing the equation," smiled Jack.
"If it succeed will you give it to us?" asked Nojiko.
"Yes, but their devil fruit is too weak, so I won't give it to you," replied Jack.
.....
"So… it's true, huh? You're my dad?" asked Luffy once again, he only had grandpa, Dadan, Ace and Sabo and a group of bandits and don't forget makino too.
Dragon: smiles faintly, lowering his hood "Yes, Monkey D. Luffy. I am your father."
For a moment, no one said anything... the crew looked almost sad at the scene of the son who suddenly meet his father until Luffy tilted his head and asked with innocence...
"So… uh, what's a father, actually?"
Every single member of the crew froze. Then came the sound of synchronized exasperation—
"EEEEE....."
Usopp jaw dropped so hard it looked like it might hit the floor, Nami facepalmed so loudly it echoed. Nojiko can't believe this captain didn't even know that he didn't know the word father
Zoro muttered something that sounded like "I can't believe this is my captain…." and sanji he remembered his biological father Vinsmoke Judge.
But for Jack is different, he almost laughed because remembering the scene on water 7 when Garp reveal that Luffy had father.
Dragon suddenly laughed because Luffy behaviour is like his father Monkey D Garp.
"You are like my father luffy," commented Dragon.
"You mean Grandpa?" asked Luffy.
"Yeah, he is my father," replied Dragon.
Jack, who had been watching quietly, stepped forward, his voice calm but firm.
"Dragon-san, I want to make you an offer," said Jack.
Dragon turned to face him
"An offer?" asked Dragon
"Yes. Join us aboard the Going Merry wasn't you have agreed to teach Luffy and us Haki, at least for a while. Teach Luffy something he can't learn on his own."
"Jack... It should be me who invite the crew even though he is my father," replied Luffy looking angry.
"It is not joining us as strawhat pirates captain luffy," explained Jack. "To learn Haki you need months and even a year and it is better to learn from those who had awaken and mastering it like your grandpa or your father, so to do this we need him on board with us, sail temporarily."
"Oh is that it?" said Luffy. "Then is ok, hey father you can join us."
"You want me to join your crew?" asked Dragon.
Jack interrupted. "Not as a crew member. As a teacher. Luffy may have your blood, but his training is… chaotic. His grandfather, Garp, never taught him the ways of haki. Especially Conqueror Haki."
"Luffy have you awaken conqueror Haki?" asked Dragon.
"I... I don't know," answer Luffy. He had heard about conqueror but never saw and never face it before.
"He has conqueror Haki, he and Zoro I can confirm they have because of their will," said Jack. "Luffy wanted to become pirate king and zoro wanted to become the greatest swordsman in the world. This is the will of those who possessed conqueror haki."
Dragon who heard this just nodded.
"I can't stay long. My revolution needs me. But what Jack said is true — if you're going to face what lies ahead in the Grand Line, you need to understand haki. You already have the potential."
Luffy scratches his chin "Potential? Is that like meat?"
Zoro just can sighs "No, Captain. Not everything is meat."
"I see… teaching you will be interesting," commented Dragon.
He stepped closer to Luffy, placing a hand lightly on his shoulder, a faint wave of Conqueror's Haki, strong enough to make the rubble around them vibrate.
Luffy eyes widened. He could feel it, the strange, invisible force that made his heartbeat quicken, something wild and untamed inside him answering back.
Suddenly Jack commented, "Luffy, Zoro, fight that feeling. It was one way to awaken conqueror Haki."
The only one standing at the moment is Jack, Sanji, Zoro and Luffy. While Usopp, Nami and Nojiko had fainted.
Hearing this, not just Zoro and Luffy who tried to fight it, even Sanji do the same. Meanwhile Dragon released even more conqueror Haki after hearing a word from Jack, he now knew this may a way to awaken conqueror Haki.
And it works, Luffy suddenly burst his conqueror Haki, after a few second Zoro also awaken his conqueror haki and lastly sanji also had awaken his conqueror Haki.
