Chapter17: Young Bartolomeo, Pay Homage To Our Emperor!
After calming down, El Jorge realized that he couldn't use Conqueror's Intimidation again.
His heart instantly went cold.
Finally got an attack skill, but it turns out it can't be used?
How is this going?
However, having said that, such a powerful move must consume a lot of stamina.
Why is my physical and mental strength not affected?
Could it be that this move is just like the Emperor Engine, a useless physical skill and a passive skill?
If so, that makes sense!
Next, El Jorge began to frantically use Conqueror's Intimidation.
But he eventually made a pitiful discovery.
All of his skills were passive!
Conqueror's Intimidation! (Automatically triggered by high emotions)
No wonder!
Did this mean that this move wasn't for him to attack but rather to show off?!
Whether witnessing Roger's execution platform, the Upside Down Mountain, or the legendary Sky Island, El Jorge's Conqurar's Intimidation would involuntarily activate at any famous location or scene!
In short, as long as there is a scene where a famous person is named, El Jorge's Conquror's intimidation shock will be triggered involuntarily!
Damn it!
This skill turned out to be a way for him to show off!
Was he doomed to walk the path of showing off in front of others?
The other skills were just as pathetic, all psychological warfare, without any attack capabilities!
Turtle Card Conqueror's Haki! (Passive lock-on skill, cannot be actively used)
Emperor's Engine! (Automatically triggered by fear)
Calm and Composed! (Stuck on his face)
Directly Affecting the Soul! (Stuck on his eyes)
Emperor's Domain! (new) (Automatically triggered when his feet touched the ground)
"So, as long as my feet don't leave the ground, I'll always maintain the image of wearing an emperor's crown and dragon robe?"
Everything else was fine, but El Jorge had a bit of trouble accepting the Emperor's Domain.
He wasn't an emperor, and he didn't have a kingdom or a palace. It would be ridiculous to wear a dragon robe every day and show off... It was too much showing off!
"Look, why does the boss keep wearing a dragon robe and crown?"
"Shh, don't make a fuss, that's the boss's awakened form of his Devil Fruit ability!"
"What, Devil Fruit awakening?!! That's even rarer than Conqueror's Haki!"
"But isn't this state very stamina-consuming? Why can the boss maintain it for so long?"
"Because the boss is too strong! Maintaining the awakened state of his Devil Fruit ability is as easy as drinking tea and eating fish for him!"
"I heard that Vice-Admiral Dalmatia of the Navy can also maintain his Zoan form for a long time, but compared to our boss, he's far inferior!"
The henchmen were enthusiastically praising him.
El Jorge was instantly confused!
He knew it!!
Continuously maintaining the Emperor's Domain form should lead to trouble for others! When did his Devil Fruit ability awaken?
Maintaining the awakened state of his Devil Fruit ability was as easy as drinking tea and eating for me..?
These fanboys were too imaginative!
How could you guys imagine that?
That's a little too much! You guys are exaggerating!
With all this talk, are you even letting Katakuriko and Doflamingo live anymore?!
"How do you know about Devil Fruit awakening?"
What puzzled El Jorge the most was that even his little brothers, who hadn't even been to the Grand Line, knew about Devil Fruit's awakening.
And they were even imagining things about him!
It was ridiculous!
Normally, these uncultured bumpkins should never have even heard of Haki!
"""It was explained to us by Master Hawkeye!"""
Everyone said in unison.
El Jorge's surprised gaze turned to Hawkeye.
The latter coughed awkwardly, his face slightly red.
He liked telling stories to these little brothers when he was bored polishing his sword.
It had to be said that Hawkeye had become quite obsessed with appreciating how these little brothers hadn't seen the world.
Haki, Devil Fruit awakening.
Even Flowing Sakura Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, Future Sight, and Mantra. Hawkeye would casually tell these stories to the little brothers when he was bored.
This led everyone to marvel at the vastness of the world.
And Ace became even more proactive, training harder, and making rapid progress in strength.
"Alright, alright."
El Jorge helplessly spread his hands.
What else could he say?
He couldn't possibly say that this wasn't Devil Fruit awakening, right?
That would be even more unreasonable!
He could only go along with it... For some reason, his Devil Fruit ability had awakened... But the problem was, he didn't seem to have a Devil Fruit at all!
"Too cool!"
"Truly worthy of being an idol!"
"Maintaining such a handsome emperor form all the time, My Idol truly embodies a living emperor!"
From the nearby barrel, an unreasonable rooster head popped out.
Bartolomeo!
Seeing this scene, everyone's jaw dropped in shock except for El Jorge, whose face remained paralysed.
When did this guy slip in???
"You're the rooster head!"
Ace exclaimed with delight, apparently the two had just met on the island and had a good relationship!
"Ridiculous!" Hawkeye was completely speechless.
When did this damn rooster head sneak up here?
How did he not notice at all? Why?
Did everyone completely ignore his Observation Haki? Had his Observation Haki gone wrong?
Hawkeye started to doubt life...
"Ace!" Bartolomeo greeted Ace with a smile.
The two had had a strange experience in Loguetown and had developed a fairly good friendship.
But now Bartolomeo didn't have time to bother with Ace. Because he had more important things to do!
Bartolomeo rolled up his sleeves!
And bowed deeply!
"Bartolomeo, at your service, Your Majesty!"
