"After all, he is the son of destiny. Even if I steal the Flame-Flame Fruit, it will not affect his rise."
After reading today's World Economic Daily, Dewey sighed in his heart.
"He's only eighteen years old and he's already mastered the three colors of Haki. This guy is actually the same as the boss?!"
Nami stood behind Dewey, massaging his head with both hands, and looked at the headline of the World Economic News with a look of amazement.
"Not only that, he is from the East China Sea just like us." Kalina also held a newspaper in her hand and said, "And he and the boss are from the same period. We both entered the Grand Line last year. He was even a supernova in the second half of the year."
Staring at the bounty of Ace posted on the newspaper, Kalina said in surprise, "I just didn't expect that he has three colors of Haki like the boss. But apart from Haki and Taijutsu, he is not an esper and is definitely not the boss's opponent… We were lucky not to meet him last year."
Dewey smiled after hearing what Kalina said.
Even if you encounter it, you can only pretend that you didn't see it.
After all, the three-color domineering notebook was obtained in exchange for Ace's information.
And according to the information in the newspaper, Ace had already mastered the three colors of Haki before joining the Whitebeard Pirates.
Obviously, the teacher who taught him how to master Haki should be Rayleigh.
As long as Dewey still remembers the favor of Rayleigh giving him the domineering notebook, he will not take the initiative to target Ace.
Even though this domineering note was obtained in exchange for Ace's information.
Compared with Pluto Rayleigh's domineering notebook, the news about the Pirate King's son is not worth mentioning at all.
Throwing the newspaper aside, Dewey lay on the sun lounger, enjoying Nami's massage while calling up the virtual panel to check his growth in the past six months.

Level 10 is a huge watershed.
When the ability reaches level 10, there will be a huge transformation.
After the transformation, Dewey found that his proficiency, which had been improving extremely slowly, became smooth again, just like a blocked channel that had been cleared.
Although the speed of improving proficiency cannot be compared with that before level 10, Dewey's "Breath of All Things" and "Observation Haki" have still increased by 7 levels in the past seven months, an average of one level per month.
Until recently, the rate of improvement has slowed.
In fact, Dewey knew very well that the reason for upgrading so quickly was not because of the breakthrough to level 10, but the credit of [System Strengthening].
Over the past six months, while Dewey and his two companions were traveling around the world, they also happened to encounter many pirate groups at sea.
Just like the pirate groups encountered in the East China Sea, many pirate groups targeted the flagless sailboat of Dewey and his companions, but were killed when they failed to rob it.
Among them are the captains of two pirate groups, both of whom are Devil Fruit users. After Kalina took away their Devil Fruits, Dewey used them to strengthen himself.
Just as he guessed, although the upper limits of physical fitness and talent have not been digitized by the game system, level 10 is indeed a huge watershed.
When Dewey started his tenth strengthening, his body underwent a huge transformation.
That kind of transformation is also invisible, but it can be clearly felt.
Only Dewey himself knew that after completing the tenth enhancement, his body had transformed from an ordinary person into an inhuman "monster".
Mental state, physical fitness, strength and endurance…all skyrocketed to incredible levels.
At this moment, Dewey couldn't wait for a good fight.
It's not just that he wants to understand his own strength, but also because his proficiency in "Conqueror's Haki" has been stuck at [Level 9 99%] and has not moved. Even after Dewey completed the tenth enhancement, he still couldn't reach [Level 10].
Even the panacea experience points lost their effect for the first time, as if some conditions needed to be met.
In the terms of the gaming industry, this is a prerequisite.
Unlike the other two types of Haki, Conqueror's Haki is a kind of king's qualification, which can only be determined by one's own destiny, and the way to improve it is based on one's own strength and courage, especially the latter.
The stronger the spirit, the stronger the domineering aura.
Dewey knew very well that the reason why his Conqueror's Haki could not reach [Level 10] was because he had always crushed others in battles and had never fought against an equally powerful enemy.
Even if it weren't for the game system, the possibility of Dewey awakening the domineering Haki would be almost zero.
Therefore, if Dewey wants to reach the [10th level] of Conqueror's Haki, he needs to use the "Battle of Life and Death" to hone himself, improve his spirit, and condense the so-called "heart of the strong".
Realizing this, Dewey discovered that the game system was also quite rational.

Gaya Island. After more than half a year, Dewey and his two companions came to this island again.
After Bellamy was killed by Dewey and the "Don Quixote Family" sent people to take back Doflamingo's flag and take over Bellamy's real estate, the Magic Valley Town, which was originally a small place, completely turned into an inconspicuous chaotic place.
The pirates who had gathered here because of the name of Doflamingo had all left Mogu Town, and those who remained were just some small-time thugs.
Therefore, when Dewey and his two companions returned here, they could not see even a sailboat flying a pirate flag at the dock.
Dewey and his two companions did not care. They asked the local residents about the exact time of the strong current and then prepared to go to the sky island.
"etc..."
Kalina suddenly woke up, looking at Dewey with a pale face, and said in a rare trembling voice: "Boss, you…you are not going to use the surging ocean current to get to the sky island?"
Hearing this, Nami beside him also turned pale, staring at Dewey whose mouth corners were slowly curling up, and forced a smile: "Haha, are you… kidding?!"
"You guessed it right."
Dewey shrugged, breaking the last fantasy of Kalina and the other girl.
"Boss, are you serious?!"
Nami rushed to Dewey, grabbed his collar with both hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "You mentioned it before, that's 10,000 meters high! Even if the ocean current can send us into the sky, if we are not careful, our ship will fall and we will be smashed to pieces!"
"Don't worry, I have a solution."
Dewey patted the back of Nami's hand, smiled confidently at the two girls, and said, "You know I never do anything I'm not sure of."
"…"
Dewey's last words were like a shot in the arm, which suddenly calmed down the excited Nami and the other girl.
Looking at Dewey's serious expression, Nami and Kalina looked at each other and finally smiled helplessly.
"Really? I'm totally defeated by you, Boss."
Kalina sighed, but she made up her mind.
