One Piece: Starting in God Valley as a Slave

Kizaru had the word "reluctance" written all over his face. He raised his hands and said, "Teacher Zephyr, Carl is still a newcomer, and he is Logia. If one of them fails to control himself later..."

Zephyr interrupted angrily, "You don't have to worry about this anymore, come up here now!"

"Well!"

Sighing heavily, Kizaru lowered his head and walked to the opposite side of Carl. Zephyr added next to him, "Be more serious later. If I find you busy with business, I will cancel your extra allowance for this month."

"Nani!? Teacher Zephyr, you can't joke about this!"

"Who are you kidding? You haven't had a serious battle in a long time, right? I have to see if you have made any progress recently."

"Then Sakazuki..."

"Sakazuki, I don't have to worry about this at all. As for you..." Zephyr crossed his arms and squinted at Kizaru, his meaning self-evident.

Kizaru wanted to struggle a few more times, but Zephyr kicked him on the butt and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Let's get started!"

After saying that, Zephyr directed the other students to retreat to the edge of the training ground, leaving the entire space to Carl and Kizaru, which was enough for two Logia users.

Kizaru patted the big black shoe print on his butt, muttering something under his breath, then looked up at Carl and asked, "Carl, shall we start?"

Carl responded with a smile, "Please give me your advice, Borsalino."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru raised his hand and shot out a laser. The laser directly penetrated Carl's body and exploded in the rear, blasting a large charred pit in the ground.

Kizaru had already anticipated this situation. In his opinion, since Carl is Logia, he must be able to elementalize. Energy attacks of this level are definitely ineffective. His move was purely to irritate Zephyr.

Zephyr had just said that he only cares about fighting and does not need to worry about the rest, so Kizaru decided to let dear Teacher Zephyr worry more about repairing the field.

Anyway, just seeing Zephyr's black face makes him feel happy!

But Zephyr knew Kizaru very well. He shouted to Kizaru with a stern face, "Borsalino, didn't I teach you how to deal with Logia?"

Kizaru pouted, knowing that he couldn't continue playing around. He raised his leg, and a layer of dark Haki slowly adhered to his calf, causing all the students to exclaim:

"Is that Haki? Borsalino has already mastered it!?"

"This guy hides it well enough. I've never seen him use it before!"

"Is there a possibility that he doesn't need Haki to deal with us?"

"Well, that's true, but do you think Sakazuki can do it too?"

"That's a matter between monsters. Let's ask less. Knowing too much will only upset your heart!"

"This Carl is going to be in trouble. Without Haki, he can't threaten the opponent at all."

Zephyr nodded slightly. Judging from Kizaru's performance, he had a relatively good grasp of Haki.

He had another reason for letting Kizaru use Haki, which was to let Carl, a Logia user, feel what it's like to be hit.

After decades of his Marine career, Zephyr had encountered several Logia users. Almost all of them had a common problem—they were too dependent on elementalization.

He wanted Carl to realize this in advance, so Carl wouldn't become overconfident just because he is a Logia user and should pay more attention to physical training.

Kizaru kindly reminded Carl, "Carl, be careful later; you may get hurt."

Carl didn't seem to know the power of Haki and still looked calm, as if inviting Kizaru to come at him with everything he had.

Kizaru pushed up the sunglasses on his face, and his body emitted a golden light. He turned into a stream of light and appeared in front of Carl, sweeping Carl's waist with a horizontal kick.

He was extremely fast, and by the time the people on the field reacted, Kizaru's right leg had already struck Carl.

However, the expected scene of Carl being kicked away didn't happen. Kizaru's right leg, coated in Haki, actually passed directly through Carl's body.

Kizaru didn't expect this at all. He was so confused that he spun 360 degrees in front of Carl due to the inertia, staggering and almost falling to the ground.

After standing firm, he glanced at the Haki on his right leg that hadn't dissipated, then raised his head and stared at Carl in disbelief.

Even Zephyr on the sidelines was shocked. With his rich combat experience, he quickly realized that Carl had predicted Kizaru's attack and transferred his elementalized body in advance.

This realization shocked Zephyr even more because it meant Carl had awakened Observation Haki, and at a considerable intensity!

Considering Kizaru's terrifying speed, ordinary Observation Haki wouldn't be able to keep up.

Zephyr couldn't help but think of the scene when Carl had grabbed his arm at the entrance of the training ground, and he became even more convinced of his suspicions.

Thinking of Carl's age, Zephyr was at a loss for words.

Even without the Dark-Dark Fruit, Carl is a true genius!

What Zephyr didn't know was that Carl's situation was completely different from what he imagined.

After Carl became a Dark-Dark Fruit user, he discovered that the Dark-Dark Fruit could be elementalized. However, due to the darkness's characteristics, attacks would be automatically absorbed and eventually fed back to the user at the cost of doubled pain.

To avoid this shortcoming, Carl developed another type of "elementalization," which involved hiding his elementalized body in a dark space to evade attacks.

The advantage of this approach was that it could dodge almost all attacks, even Haki.

Of course, the downside was that while in this state, Carl couldn't attack others.

And although Carl himself was dark, it was easy to get lost in the endless darkness if he stayed in the dark space for too long. The time he could remain in this state couldn't exceed ten minutes at a time.

However, as Carl developed his fruit's abilities, the duration would gradually increase.

This method was inspired by Obito Kamui from Naruto, so Carl named this special element Kamui.

Kizaru didn't give up and wanted to test it a few more times, but Carl didn't give him the chance.

A black vortex appeared in Carl's palm. Kizaru instinctively felt a sense of crisis, and his body instantly turned into photons, dispersing toward the back.

Carl slowly raised his right hand and said softly, "Universal Pull."

The countless light points that made up Kizaru suddenly stopped, then flew back to their original position, finally reforming into Kizaru's shape.

His shoulders were tightly held by Carl, and there was a rare look of panic on Kizaru's face.

Because he found that he couldn't activate his ability!
