Chapter 266: Setting Out for the New World
Ryugu Palace.
After the rebellion at the Fish-Man District was settled, everyone returned to the palace to rest, including the Straw Hat Pirates.
Although the war ended earlier than expected because of the Dream Exploration Team's interference, the New Fish-Man Pirates, after taking the Energy Steroids, still left them pretty badly hurt.
"Hey!" Luffy suddenly spoke. "Jinbe, was that burst of energy just now from Ryuen?"
He finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked the one thing that had been on his mind the most.
He had Conqueror's Haki too, but ever since the Summit War, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't use it again.
Jinbe nodded seriously. "Yes."
Luffy's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Then how did he do it? What do I need to do to use Conqueror's Haki like him?"
Jinbe shook his head with a helpless smile. "Luffy, that really was Ryuen's Conqueror's Haki. But if you're asking me how to control that kind of powerful spirit... I can't help you. I don't have Conqueror's Haki myself."
Luffy frowned and fell into thought.
From what he had learned from Crocus, Conqueror's Haki was a gift you were born with—not everyone could have it.
