Under Wang Shi's command, Aramaki used Armed Haki defenses of various strengths to resist Wang Shi's Time Travel power.
In addition to long-range Exile Power within the time domain, there was also close-range Exile Power from Wang Shi's direct touch.
They tested the maximum strength of Wang Shi's long-range and close-range Exile Power, as well as his stamina consumption.
Wang Shi even had Aramaki cover branches with Armed Haki of various strengths to determine the strength of Armed Haki he could forcibly cut through with 'Time Slash'.
"Such terrifying Exile Power. If I'm not careful, I could be exiled."
Aramaki spoke with a slight apprehension. This top-tier Paramecia ability was indeed hard to guard against.
Actually, Wang Shi also wanted to try exiling a part of a Natural type user's elementalized body to the future.
He wondered if the ability user would die, or be unable to reform as a whole, appearing with missing limbs.
Trafalgar Law's ability to directly cut out the heart of Smoker, a Natural type ability user, filled Wang Shi with a desire to learn.
Considering the uncertainty of this experiment, Wang Shi did not use this idea on Aramaki.
"Aramaki, please train our two types of Haki thoroughly."
Without Garp and his Marine ship, Wang Shi found a new teacher.
But the next moment.
"Isn't this something you awaken naturally and grow stronger with on your own?"
Aramaki's single sentence directly struck everyone's hearts, even leaving Wang Shi somewhat dumbfounded.
"Natural awakening?"
"Growing stronger on your own?"
Even Van Auger and Zoro shouted out, while Eric and Saka were completely stunned.
"Aren't you?"
Aramaki flicked his hair with his right hand, showing off, and his rhetorical question made Wang Shi and the others realize what monstrous talent truly meant.
Could it be that Aramaki's physique was also a special one?
Or did the devour power of the Natural type Mori Mori no Mi help the ability user enhance both types of Haki?
"No!!!"
Zoro and Saka bared their fangs, veins bulging, shouting at Aramaki.
"Alright then, I'll try my best to teach, but I'll state beforehand, I'm not good at teaching people."
Aramaki took off his sunglasses, wiped them, put them back on, and chuckled softly.
"Bastard! Is it so great to be fed by the heavens?!"
Eric's tone was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
But he wished he was also such a genius, getting stronger every day he woke up.
The offspring of a lion, if allowed to grow normally, will always be stronger than small cats and dogs.
Some people diligently cultivate and become strong. Is it possible that they were originally lion cubs?
The ugly duckling turned into a swan because it was a swan to begin with.
Just like Zoro, who diligently cultivated and grew to the Yonko Commander level in just a few years, he already had good bloodline.
It was just his diligence that allowed him to grow faster and become stronger.
And a monster like Aramaki, through continuous effort, could still reach this level in his thirties or forties.
Sanji, the Cyborg, was even more outrageous. After his bloodline suddenly awakened, he could directly beat Plague Queen.
Steel skin and bones, simply unkillable.
Twisted limbs and neck could be easily put back into place.
Wang Shi looked at the silently showing off Aramaki, his fists slowly clenching.
But then he thought, it seems he's also getting stronger every day now.
Could it be that he, a transmigrator, is also such a natural monster and cheat?
Thinking of this, Wang Shi, who had been provoked by Aramaki, immediately felt much better, and his fists relaxed.
I'm also a cheat, I don't need to envy, be jealous, or hate.
In the following days, Aramaki completely became the sparring partner for Wang Shi and his group, and also taught them the two types of Haki with his half-baked methods.
But this monster's way of getting stronger was somewhat useful for reference, but not much.
After the training, Wang Shi also paid attention to the pirates in the South Sea.
At this time, he wondered if Bartholomew Kuma and Bonney had returned from Vegapunk at Egghead Island.
After the big explosion at Punk Hazard this year, the World Government's laboratory moved to Egghead Island.
Kuma also received Dragon's message this year to find Vegapunk, and finally used himself as a condition for Vegapunk to treat Bonney, undergoing cell transplantation for over half a year.
After almost full recovery, Bonney would be sent back to Sorbet Kingdom to recover for a year, while Kuma became the most obedient Shichibukai of the World Government.
It was already the end of the year, and this year was about to pass.
Fire Fist Ace, after sailing for a year at 17, entered the latter half of the New World at 18 and met Yamato in Wano Country.
Afterward, Ace first defeated the Shichibukai Hanafza, then fought Knight of the Sea Jinbe to a draw, went to challenge Whitebeard, and joined the Whitebeard Pirates in the same year.
'Now Fire Fist Ace has already defeated the Shichibukai Hanafza, but the World Government has not yet announced the new Shichibukai's appointment.'
Wang Shi looked at the recent news. It seemed Kuma was also about to become the new Shichibukai.
If Kuma hadn't become a Shichibukai, it meant Kuma and Bonney hadn't returned to Sorbet Kingdom yet.
After Bonney recovered for a few months in Sorbet Kingdom, she sailed at over nine years old and arrived at Sabaody Archipelago at ten, becoming a Supernova.
'Forget it, it's hard for me, an Allied Nations emperor, and Kuma, a Revolutionary Army member, to get along.'
'I'm too lazy to wait for Bonney, that female Nika.'
Wang Shi directly gave up on this father-daughter duo. After all, the Gorosei and Marineford were watching them, and their target was too big.
Moreover, he was in a hurry to go to West Blue to redeem Issho and didn't have time to wait for these two in the South Sea.
Among the Supernovas from the Worst Generation originating from the South Sea, there were only Bonney, Kid, and Killer.
Bonney couldn't be waited for, so had Kid and Killer sailed yet?
Wang Shi looked at the pirate bounties in the South Sea and also didn't find these two.
It seemed that Victoria S. Doruyanaika, the secret crush of Kid and Killer, those two delinquent leaders, hadn't been killed by gangs and mountain bandits yet.
Kid hadn't exploded and wiped out those gangs and mountain bandits, hadn't subdued those delinquent leaders, and hadn't sailed yet.
Heat and Wire, the cadres under the Kid Pirates, were both among the four delinquent leaders.
The Kid Pirates' ship, the 'Victoria Punk,' was named after his deceased crush.
Wang Shi checked the map. Kid and Killer's Kutsuk Island was very far away, and Kid, that delinquent leader, possessed the potential for Conqueror's Haki, so he would probably be difficult to recruit.
Forget it, he would stick to the plan and go directly to West Blue to redeem Issho first.
As for Kid, that hot-headed punk, Wang Shi would meet these extremely evil Supernovas once he entered the Grand Line or reached Sabaody Archipelago.
Wang Shi also wanted to first obtain various Devil Fruit technologies from Vegapunk.
That way, catching ability users would be more convenient.
Wang Shi had Nami command the fleet to return directly to the Red Line's safe sea route, re-entering the Grand Line.
This time, they would ascend the Red Line, take the safe sea route to the New World, and go directly to West Blue.
