[She hasn’t taken Rayleigh as her master, nor will she; it’s just for the sake of the meme (Rayleigh, the Mediocre Teacher of Haki)!] ———— At one in the afternoon, Rayleigh brought Mina to a new primitive island.
The overall area of this island was several times larger than Amazon Lily, and there were no traces of civilization on it—only the most primitive and savage ecological environment.
Giant plants hundreds of meters tall could be seen everywhere, along with hideous mountain ranges piercing the clouds like sharp swords.
However, the most eye-catching thing was the creatures inhabiting this island.
They were massive; those forty or fifty meters tall were only considered “cubs,” while hundred-meter-class behemoths were common.
Deep within the island, there were even terrifying existences slumbering with auras no weaker than super-giant Sea Kings.
“Alright, girl, from today on, this will be your training ground.” Rayleigh stood on a huge boulder, arms crossed, looking down at Mina, who was sitting on the ground curiously observing her surroundings.
Being “looked down upon” by a little runt less than two meters tall felt a bit novel to Mina.
“The first rule of training,” Rayleigh’s voice carried the seriousness of a strict teacher, “From now on, you are forbidden from using your body’s flame ability.” “I don’t know why you have Lunarian Race blood, but if you keep relying on the near-invincible defense it grants you, you’ll never truly sense danger, nor will you be able to break through your limits in a life-or-death situation.” “Oh,” Mina responded half-heartedly.
“Second,” Rayleigh continued, “your goal is to use pure physical strength to fight these strange beasts, to feel their every attack and every breath, honing your combat instincts and bodily reactions in battle.” After listening, Mina blinked and asked directly.
“Why all the nonsense?
Just teach me how to use Three-Color Haki directly, isn’t that enough?”Check With one sentence, she blocked all the teaching theories Rayleigh had prepared.
Rayleigh’s temple throbbed uncontrollably.
Resisting the urge to draw his sword, he looked at her as if she were an idiot and let out a sneer.
“Three-Color Haki?
Especially Haoshoku—that is an innate kingly quality, proof of a chosen one that appears only once in a million people.” “A simpleton girl like you, with nothing but muscles and brute force and an empty head, deserves to have Haoshoku?” Instead of getting angry at this mockery, Mina revealed a smile brighter than the sun.
“Oh?
Is that so?” She looked at Rayleigh with a grin.
The next second, an invisible, mountain-toppling, tsunami-like terrifying pressure erupted with her at the center!
“Buzz—!!!” There was no sound, yet it surpassed any thunderclap.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
The birds and beasts across the entire island, regardless of size or location, rolled their eyes and foamed at the mouth, losing consciousness instantly.
Violent Haoshoku Dark Lightning swept across a hundred-mile radius.
Wherever the Dark Lightning passed, towering waves rose on the sea, clouds in the sky were torn apart, and even the weather changed abruptly; the clear sky instantly became covered in dark clouds, with lightning and thunder.
This Haki was extremely massive and unreasonable, filled with a pure, all-crushing violent aesthetic.
However, this was not the end.
While releasing this area-of-effect strike, Mina condensed this massive Haoshoku into an invisible torrent, like a target-locked ICBM, its core aimed directly at Rayleigh on the boulder!
Under that terrifying pressure that would make even some Admirals shudder, Rayleigh’s battle-hardened body couldn’t help but tense up.
The mockery on his face vanished, replaced by unprecedented shock and horror.
“This amount…
you’ve got to be kidding me!” Without time to think, Rayleigh also erupted with his own Haoshoku!
Unlike Mina’s overwhelming Haki that felt like a natural disaster, Rayleigh’s Haoshoku was more condensed and pure, like an indestructible sharp sword piercing the sky.
If Mina’s Haki was a quantitative change, like a flood drowning everything, then Rayleigh’s Haki was a qualitative change, a sharp edge capable of cutting through anything.
Two distinct yet world-peak Conqueror’s Haki clashed violently in mid-air!
“Boom—!!!” The sky was completely torn apart, and black lightning flickered wildly like dancing demon snakes at the boundary of the two Hakis.
The ground beneath them could not withstand the pressure and cracked inch by inch; countless rocks were swept into the sky and ground into powder by the violent air currents.
The entire Monster Island trembled under the confrontation of these two kingly qualities.
This earth-shattering confrontation lasted for a full ten seconds before finally ending with both sides withdrawing at the same time.
The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and sunlight spilled down once again.
Everything seemed to return to peace, with only the devastated earth proving that what had just happened was not an illusion.
Mina still sat in place with a grin, as if she hadn’t done a thing.
Meanwhile, Rayleigh had dark lines on his forehead, his face so dark it could drip ink, as he glared at the brat in front of him.
After a long time, he squeezed a few words through his teeth.
“…I’ll teach you how to continue improving your Haki.” From that day on, Rayleigh’s hellish teaching and Mina’s “One Punch Man” style combat officially began.
On the morning of the first day.
Rayleigh carefully selected a four-legged strange beast fifty meters tall, covered in rock-like armor.
“Listen up, this ‘Rock-Armored Beast’ has extremely strong defense; ordinary physical attacks are useless against it.” “So, what you need to do is use Observation Haki to predict its attack trajectory, find the weakest joints in its defense, and finally use an attack imbued with Armament Haki to win in one hit!” Rayleigh stood at a distance, providing tactical guidance with a serious face.
“Oh, what a pain.” Mina responded casually while picking her nose.
Then, as the Rock-Armored Beast roared and charged, she raised her right fist without dodging.
No Armament Haki infusion, not even a shout of a move name.
Just a simple, unadorned straight punch.
“Thud!” With a dull thud, the Rock-Armored Beast, which had enough momentum to crash through mountains, came to a sudden halt.
Its indestructible rock shell began to show spiderweb-like cracks starting from where Mina’s fist made contact, spreading rapidly across its entire body.
The next second, with a crisp cracking sound, the entire giant beast, along with its proud defense, shattered into stones.
Rayleigh: “…” Mina withdrew her fist and looked at her fair hand; there wasn’t even a white mark on her skin.
She then turned her head and gave the petrified Rayleigh an innocent smile.
“Mediocre Teacher, your teaching isn’t that great!” Afternoon.
Rayleigh brought over a flying strange beast that wasn’t large but was fast as lightning and could spit poison.
“This opponent tests your speed, reaction time, and use of Observation Haki!
You must…” Before Rayleigh could finish his sentence.
Mina had already moved, her huge palm so fast it left an afterimage.
Before the flying beast could react, she snatched it out of the sky and held it in her hand like a little chick.
“Mediocre Teacher, are you even up to the task?” The next morning,…
No matter how powerful, bizarre, or troublesome the beasts Rayleigh found were, the final result was always the same.
Mina would just go up and throw a punch.
If one punch didn’t solve it, then…
then another punch.
However, such a situation never happened even once.
Most of the time, she was too lazy to use Armament Haki; the freakish natural defense of the Lunarian Race was enough to ignore all the beasts’ attacks.
Furthermore, her iron fist inherited from the Garp template was simple and crude to the extreme.
Absolute power overcomes all skills.
In the face of absolute power, any technique or tactic appeared pale and weak.
Rayleigh was completely numb.
Sitting on the mountaintop, he watched the simpleton girl in the distance blow up another hundred-meter-long giant snake with one punch, and silently took a large gulp of wine.
He now seriously doubted if agreeing to teach her was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life.
This wasn’t teaching; this was clearly a one-sided noob-crushing performance.
And he, the so-called “teacher,” was useless throughout the entire process, except for being half-dead with anger and receiving repeated mocks of “Mediocre Teacher.” “Mediocre Teacher—!
Mediocre Teacher—!
Where’s the next one?” From afar, Mina’s excited shouts came again.
Rayleigh’s eye twitched wildly, feeling his blood pressure start to soar again.
He really wanted to kick this brat off the island and back into the sea right now, out of sight, out of mind.
He had clearly told her not to use the Lunarian Race defense, but that natural defense was just too bugged.
At this point, he had to bring out his trump card; otherwise, he’d be laughed at by this girl for the rest of his life.
Also, he had to control this girl’s attacks; ordinary methods wouldn’t work anymore!
