Twenty days passed in a flash.
Inside a cabin on the Falling Star God Meteor, Luo Chen opened his eyes, and a powerful aura overflowed.
A breeze stirred within the room, blowing up the dust settled on the tables, chairs, and floor.
A system panel appeared on his retina.
[Host: Luo Chen]
[Taijutsu: Lv11 (Weak Emperor Level ≈ 4 Billion Bounty Pirate)]
[Skills: Conqueror's Seal, Observation Killing, Divine Departure, Conqueror's Haki (Enchantment 2), Swordsmanship (No-Sword Realm), Observation Haki (Enchantment 1), Armament Haki (Enchantment *1), Marine Six Styles - Soru, Marine Six Styles - Geppo]
[Ninjutsu: Chibaku Tensei, Impure World Reincarnation, Kamui, Shinra Tensei, Tengai Shinsei, Susanoo, Sage Mode, Flying Thunder God Technique, Wood Release Collection]
[Cultivation Points: 1,450,000]
[Next Stage Cumulative Recharge Reward Standard: 300 Billion Berries]
"With this, I should truly be invincible, right?"
Luo Chen looked at his own strength panel, a smile appearing on his face.
He had been in seclusion for over half a month. The ten million cultivation points exchanged from the World Government's one hundred billion Berries were completely exhausted.
Whitebeard's nine billion Berries were exchanged for nine hundred thousand cultivation points.
In the Big Mom Pirates' treasury, he found treasures worth about fifty billion Berries.
He also exchanged those for five million cultivation points.
With a total of nearly sixteen million cultivation points, Luo Chen had consumed fifteen million.
The improvement in his strength could be described as a qualitative change across multiple dimensions.
"Upgrading Taijutsu from Lv10 to Lv11 consumed 3.2 million cultivation points."
"If I hadn't learned various skills and Haki enchantments, it would have been enough to reach Lv12, but the time required was too long."
Luo Chen had asked the leather-clad female teacher.
Raising Taijutsu from Lv11 to Lv12 required 6.4 million cultivation points.
It would take at least a month of time in the outside world.
With such a long duration, he was worried the World Government would attack before he could break through.
It was better to improve his strength in a shorter time by learning new skills, swordsmanship, and Haki enchantments.
During his seclusion, Luo Chen spent 400,000 cultivation points to learn a new skill—Conqueror's Seal.
This ability was specifically designed to counter the immortal bodies of the God's Knights and the Five Elders.
The so-called immortality was actually the soul being stored in the "Phantom Room." As long as the soul remained imperishable, the physical body could rapidly recover regardless of the injury.
The principle behind this should be related to Imu's ability or the special rules of the "Phantom Room."
Conqueror's Seal involved infusing Conqueror's Haki into the enemy's body to form a sealing layer.
The seal could sever the connection between the soul in the "Phantom Room" and the physical body.
Although it couldn't kill the soul body inside the "Phantom Room."
It could prevent the physical body from recovering under the soul's influence after being destroyed.
It was equivalent to cutting off the link between the soul and the body.
Luo Chen learned the "Conqueror's Seal" ability from the projection of "The Pirate King's Left Arm," Jabba.
"I wonder how the ordinary-sized Jabba managed to get a female giant pregnant."
Luo Chen had asked Jabba's projection at the time.
However, the projection did not give an answer.
"I'll visit the giant kingdom of Elbaf in the future," Luo Chen thought, gathering his thoughts.
He focused his mind on the text for [Observation Haki (Enchantment *1)].
[Observation Haki (Enchantment *1)]
[Enchantment Passive: Observation Haki effect strengthened by 10%.]
[Enchantment 1 — Spirit Vision Eye: Can see through the physical shell and peer into the soul.]
Spirit Vision Eye—this enchantment trait alone was worth a full ten billion Berries.
If one were to call it expensive, it was actually acceptable.
Just the passive 10% enhancement to Observation Haki was worth more than ten billion Berries.
Luo Chen's current Observation Haki was very strong, arguably top-tier in the world.
Strengthening it by 10% on top of that was a huge improvement.
The duration of his future sight was also extended by 10%.
Moreover, the [Spirit Vision Eye] enchantment trait was designed to be used in conjunction with an enchantment trait of Conqueror's Haki.
[Conqueror's Haki (Enchantment *2)]
[Enchantment Passive: Conqueror's Haki effect strengthened by 30%.]
[Enchantment 1 — Soul's Lament: Conqueror's Haki can damage the soul.]
[Enchantment 2 — Conqueror's Domain: Within the domain, those with weaker Haki cannot activate Devil Fruit abilities.]
Luo Chen had applied two enchantments to his Conqueror's Haki.
The first enchantment trait increased Conqueror's Haki intensity by 10%.
The second enchantment trait increased Conqueror's Haki intensity by 20%.
These two traits directly increased the intensity of Luo Chen's Conqueror's Haki by one-third.
He had felt Red-Haired Shanks' Conqueror's Haki during the Summit War.
Now, his Conqueror's Haki definitely surpassed the other party's.
"After enchanting one trait, I was about the same as Red Hair."
"After enchanting the second trait, I directly surpassed Shanks."
"There is still a certain distance from Imu."
Luo Chen recalled the Conqueror's Haki Imu erupted with during the attack on Mary Geoise.
The feeling it gave him was much stronger than Shanks.
It was also stronger than his current self.
"If I enchant it one more time, my Conqueror's Haki probably won't be weaker than Imu's."
Haki enchantment followed a stepped progression path.
Only after enchanting [Soul's Lament] could Luo Chen unlock the subsequent [Conqueror's Domain] enchantment option.
The prices for the two were also different.
[Soul's Lament] cost 2 million cultivation points, which was 20 billion Berries.
It was double the cost of the Observation Haki enchantment, [Spirit Vision Eye].
[Conqueror's Domain] was double the cost of [Soul's Lament] again, a full 4 million cultivation points.
"With 'Conqueror's Domain,' I no longer have to worry about being besieged."
A smile appeared on Luo Chen's face.
Anyone with Conqueror's Haki weaker than his would be unable to use their Devil Fruit abilities.
In other words, aside from Imu, no one could use Devil Fruit powers in front of him.
"The fruit abilities of the three Admirals are effectively useless."
"It's hard to say about the Five Elders and the God's Knights; those guys can probably have their bodies occupied by Imu."
"With Imu assisting them with Conqueror's Haki, they should still be able to use their fruit abilities."
"Unless my Conqueror's Haki surpasses Imu's."
Luo Chen recalled Joy Boy, the enemy Imu feared most in the original story.
Eight hundred years ago, this person sealed his own Conqueror's Haki within a rope knot.
Eight hundred years later, the knot was untied, and Joy Boy's sealed Conqueror's Haki was released.
It directly knocked the Five Elders, who had teleported remotely, out of their monster forms and back to their original forms, sending them back to the Holy Land, Mary Geoise.
Even Imu in the Room of Flowers was forced to kneel by the shock of Joy Boy's Haki.
"Joy Boy... his Conqueror's Haki must surpass Imu's."
"As for sealing Haki in a rope knot, he probably used the technique of Conqueror's Seal as well."
"I can also seal Haki in a rope knot now, but the effect definitely wouldn't be that strong."
Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh; there is always a mountain higher.
Joy Boy gave him the feeling of being stronger than Imu.
And Imu was stronger than Rocks.
Below Rocks were powerhouses like prime Whitebeard, Pirate King Roger, prime Garp, and Red-Haired Shanks.
