"do you want to eat what I will make, or do you want to cook the food yourself," Leo asked him,

"No, I will cook for myself," Zoro said as he walked out of the room.

.

A few moments later.

.

Both Leo and Zoro were sitting at the dining table with the respective food they cooked for themselves,

While Leo's food was an egg curry and rice with milk to drink, it was a simple dinner food but still looked appetizing,

But the same could not be said about Zoro's food, as he tried to create the same food as Leo but failed in cooking as well as him.

After looking at Zoro food, Leo asked, "Do you want some, because I cooked a lot,"

'While I want to tease him, I'm isn't that cruel and don't want him to eat food that is clearly amateur work while I eat such tasty food in front of him.'

"No, it's not that bad. I can eat this," Zoro whispered.

'Of course, he would say that,' Leo thought before preparing another serving of his dish while placing it in front of him.

"You don't have to," Leo stated while taking away the food Zoro cooked.

After taking the bit from the food, Zoro's expression immediately lights up, "This is really good. I didn't think you could make such great food,"

"Na, it's the work of fresh ingredients because I am just an intermediate chef." Leo chuckled while scratching the back of the head.

"Now that bullshit!" Zoro fired back.

'But, I really telling the truth because my cooking skill is only at the intermediate mastery,' Leo thought while rolling his eyes.

[Cooking - Intermediate{29%}]

.

"Alright, let's just finish eating first," Leo added.

After they finished eating. Zoro asked, "So, you will be our chef, right."

"No way, we will get a proper chef for the ship, as I am barely a home cook," Leo claimed.

'Even if I like cooking, I only cook because it makes me feel relaxed, and I am not going to take the food responsibility of the crew.' Leo thinks as he moves the dishes into the sink.

"All right now, we can talk about Haki." Leo voiced as he sat on the seat.

Zoro sitting on the dinner table seat, immediately move his gaze toward him.

"Haki is a mysterious power that uses spiritual energy to do various things."

"It can be used to sense people's spiritual energy and predict their actions, give the user a protective coating of spiritual energy, and, for a specific group of "chosen ones!" can use this to overpower the willpower of others."

"All living beings in the world are capable of learning Haki; however, most people do not notice it or fail to awaken it."

"There are three types of Haki, Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and last Conqueror Haki or King Haki."

"Observation Haki gives the user a sixth sense of the world around them, allowing them to sense the presence, strength, and emotions of other people in a certain range."

"Armament Haki allows the user to use their spiritual energy as armor to defend against attacks and make their own attacks more potent.

It can also be used to bypass Devil Fruit defenses, such as Logia intangibility, like the blunt damage immunity of rubber body,"

"So, with Haki, my attacks will work against you because it will bypass your unbreakable skin, right," Zoro asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, this is where my unbreakable skin is superior to Logia's intangibility because, with Haki in play, Logia's invincibility ends, but for my power, even with Haki, I will only take 50% damage," Leo shot back with his own smirk,

"But were we, yeah Conqueror Haki grants the user the ability to unleash their own willpower to overpower the will of others.

This results in victims being mentally overwhelmed by the user, with particularly weak-willed foes instantly losing consciousness."

"That is the same what you did at our fight, right you used Conqueror Haki at me," Zoro asked with his eyes narrowed at him,

"Yes, as I said at the restaurant, I want to see you will, But congrats," Leo replied.

"On what, not falling unconscious," Zoro snarled at Leo.

"Na, even if it would be funny, I just want to congrats you for unlocking Conqueror Haki and becoming one in several million," Leo revealed

Zoro's eyes widened after hearing Leo's claim, "How!"

Leo sighed, "When Conqueror Haki is used on a person who has Conqueror Haki but has not awakened it, then there are only two ways, he will overcome the pressure and will awaken his Conqueror Haki, or he will succumb to the pressure and will lose the qualifications to awaken it,"

"So, it is a gamble," Zoro snapped.

"And you win it," Leo sang.

Zoro glared at Leo for a moment, before signing and asked, "What do you mean by one in several million,"

"This type of Haki is exceptionally rare in the world, even in New World, a play where almost everyone sailing knows the other two types of Haki.

It is said that only one in several million people are born with the ability to use this." Leo explained.

"And most people who can use Haki tend to have one type that they are better at, and, as a result, they primarily focus on training and fighting with that type. However, a person can improve their abilities with all the types of Haki, it will just require more training."

"So, which type of Haki, you are better." Zoro inquired.

"I don't know," Leo replied while shrugging his shoulders.

"Huh! what do you mean you don't know," Zoro asked with confusion clearly written on his face.

"I only know Conqueror Haki, and even at that, I am only at a Controlled level," Leo laughed nervously while scratching his back of the head.

Zoro raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean Controlled level,"

"I was going to give you later, but since you asked this question, here have this," Leo said while passing him a Crew card.

Zoro took that card from Leo's hand and examines it, "So, what is the use of this card,"

But instead of replying, Leo just smiled at him.

Seeing Leo has no intention of telling, Zoro wave the card in irritation,

The moment Zoro waved it, a holographic screen pops out, with 'would you like to bind' written on it.

"What The Fuck!!" Zoro screamed.

"Don't scream like a dumbass; you just say yes to it." Leo scolded.

"Yes!" Zoro muttered.

!!Would you like to see your stats!!

"Amm!" Zoro mumbled but seeing Leo sighing toward him to say yes, "Yes!"
