Chapter 154 Pool PartyChapter 154 Pool Party"As expected, you're strong! You live up to your name!" Koby said, admitting defeat as he lay on the ground.Luffy looked at Koby, indicating he didn't recognize the guy.Koby patted off the dust: "Luffy, Luke, long time no see! Do you recognize me? It's me, Koby!""Koby!"Luffy carefully recalled the Koby he had met before; at that time, Koby was still a little kid, a bit chubby.Now he had grown so tall, his body was slender, and he was much more handsome than before.And there was Captain Morgan's son, Helmeppo; this guy hadn't become more handsome, but he had grown a lot taller, considerably taller than Luffy.Currently, Koby and Helmeppo were both training under Garp, and their strength was growing rapidly.Earlier, Garp had punched a large hole in the wall and was now directing his subordinates to help him repair the house.While repairing the house, Garp suddenly brought up Luffy's father.Luffy had no knowledge of his father; he even thought he didn't have a dad because he had never seen him.Garp picked his nose and said, "Didn't that guy reveal his identity to you? He said he saw you off in Loguetown!"Luffy recalled the situation in Loguetown but still couldn't remember where he had seen his dad."What kind of person is my dad?"Everyone else was also very interested in Luffy's father.Garp, while hammering, said, "Your dad's name is Monkey D. Dragon, he's a revolutionary!"At this moment, not only the people inside the house but even the Marines outside were shocked.Revolutionary Dragon had a son, Luffy was Dragon's son, Dragon was Garp's son, and Dragon's full name was heard for the first time.It was the first time everyone had heard such explosive news.Except for the calm Luffy, everyone else knew Monkey D. Dragon; the name of the revolutionary was too famous.Luffy was curious why everyone was so shocked.Robin explained: "How best to explain it… while pirates don't actively attack the government and Marine, there is now a force that wants to directly overthrow the World Government, and that is the Revolutionary Army. The person at the pinnacle of the Revolutionary Army is Dragon. Their ideology is spreading in many countries around the world, causing rebellions in kingdoms. Some countries have already collapsed because of this. The government considers Dragon, the mastermind, to be the world's most heinous criminal and has been pursuing him everywhere. However, they haven't even been able to ascertain his background; he is a mysterious man."Garp, who was hammering a wooden board, suddenly said, "This matter… it really wasn't good to say, was it! Ah ha ha ha ha! Well, let's just pretend I didn't say anything."Everyone was petrified; how could they pretend it wasn't said when they had all heard it?After repairing the house, Garp intended to leave with the Marines.Before leaving, Garp gave Luffy another beating; from beginning to end, only Luffy kept getting beaten.The way the grandfather and grandson acted, it was clear they were related by blood.Garp temporarily left, leaving Koby and Helmeppoto chat with Luffy.Their conversation revealed a piece of information: Marine warships could directly pass through the Calm Belt into the Grand Line.The principle was to place many Sea Stones at the bottom of the ship, allowing it to be immune to attacks from Sea Kings due to the energy of the sea.Behind those groundbreaking technologies, including Sea Stone, one name appeared: Dr. Vegapunk.This scientist had always been heard of but never seen, the Edison, Einstein, and Tesla of the pirate world.At the end of their conversation, Koby talked about the latter half of the Grand Line: "Do you know what the latter half of the Grand Line is called? The final sea that unfolds opposite the Red Line, people call it by another name: the New World."The New World is the ocean where people who will forge the next era gather. The person who can rule that sea is the Pirate King."Mr. Luffy, Luke, we will definitely meet there again, won't we? Next time I'll capture you! I'll become stronger, and one day I will become an Admiral to show you!"After Koby said this, he felt embarrassed, thinking it was too shameful, and wanted to find a hole to crawl into."Koby, if you want to fight me, you at least need to become an Admiral. That's only natural." Luffy didn't deny Koby's words but rather had high hopes for him.Koby was very moved by this and vowed to work even harder."We will also become stronger! We must meet in the New World! Let's go!"Koby shouted loudly, then left with Helmeppo.During the time chatting with Koby, Nami, Kokoro, and Chimney went to the pool.Hearing they went to the pool, Sanji's beastly nature took over, and under the guise of making drinks, he eagerly trotted over.Luke was feeling a bit sleepy now; he had only slept eight hours in the past two days and needed another eight hours to catch up on sleep."Luke, come on, let's go to the pool party!"Just as he was about to sleep, Luke was directly pulled by Luffy and rushed towards the party."Kalifa, prepare some coffee for me. No more sleep, time to party!" Luke, floating in the air, said."Yes, Master!" Kalifa said obediently."Bastard, how can you order Sister Kalifa to pour you coffee!" Sanji said indignantly."She's my secretary. If you're so capable, find a secretary too!" Luke shrugged.Indeed, Luke's attitude was truly infuriating; Sanji's ears were fuming, but he could do nothing about it.He argued with Sanji all the way to Water 7's water park.At this time, Nami was already in a swimsuit, playing ball with Chimney, a delectable sight that filled Sanji's eyes, almost making his nose bleed.Luke found a long chair and lay down. After drinking the coffee brewed by Kalifa, he picked up a cool iced drink and guzzled it down.To host this party, Sanji brought all his cooking tools, mainly for grilling.Luke came to the grill table, wanting to take a skewer of meat, but was stopped by Sanji."This is for Sister Kalifa, ladies first! Sister Kalifa, here you go!"Sanji, with hearts in his eyes, handed three grilled meat skewers to Kalifa.Kalifa happily accepted the skewers, then came to Luke's side and, in front of Sanji, gently fed Luke the meat bite by bite."Mmm~~~ Sanji, your grilled meat is really good!" Luke said, still wanting more.Sanji's heart shattered directly; he half-knelt on the ground, speechless for a long time.Luke patted Sanji's shoulder: "Sanji, I'm not full.""Go away!" Sanji was dispirited.Seeing Sanji in this state, Luke couldn't bear to hit him further, so he jumped directly into the pool and played in the water with Kalifa.Kalifa, in a swimsuit, had an elegant and graceful figure, extremely sexy, showcasing her mature yet innocent temperament perfectly.Seeing Luke and Kalifa happily playing in the water, and then seeing the mermaid, Kokoro, in that state, Sanji's fantasy was directly shattered.
Chapter 155 Six Styles MasteryChapter 155: Rokushiki MasteredFor this banquet, Luffy secretly took out the 100 million Berries Nami had hidden in the closet. Of course, Nami was unaware at the moment, happily playing in the water.The Franky Family, Galley-La employees, two giants from Enies Lobby, and even the two enormous Sea Kings, Blu, were invited to the banquet.Mr. Iceberg and Franky also arrived. Usopp stood on a high platform and began to sing the Usopp Song.Accompanied by the lively music, everyone started to dance with rhythmic beats."Alright, let the banquet begin!""Born on Sniper Island, I'm a hundred-shot, hundred-hit wonder, lulu lala lu.""Awoo~~~Awoo~~~""Even a mouse's eye, I can lock on. Even your heart, I can lock on. The big man of Sniper Island, lululu, lulu lala~~~"As the evening approached, more and more people arrived at the banquet.Luke lay in a reclining chair, already immersed in the Book Spirit's training.He had eaten and drunk his fill and wanted to finish this tormenting Rokushiki crash course as soon as possible, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable all over.Unintentionally, the ten-hour Intermediate Iron Body tutorial was completed. Luke lay bruised and swollen in the reclining chair, gazing at the sky.Kalifa beside him exclaimed in shock, "Master, why is your face swollen?""It's nothing serious, just practiced some endurance. How's the banquet?""The banquet is still ongoing," Kalifa replied.It was already late at night, but the area was still bustling with fireworks lighting up the sky.That eccentric Usopp had stacked nearly fifty tables and chairs into a tall tower and was singing loudly from the top.Tables were spread around the pool, and everyone was enjoying themselves, drinking, eating, and having fun.Nami and Robin sat together, sipping drinks and enjoying the evening breeze, feeling very content.Luke watched until he grew sleepy, then he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.Meanwhile, a major event was unfolding in the New World.The Four Emperors Red Hair Shanks and Whitebeard Edward Newgate had a direct confrontation.Shanks brought sake to Whitebeard's ship, hoping to persuade Whitebeard to have Ace abandon his pursuit of Blackbeard Teach, as Red Hair knew Blackbeard was very dangerous.This proposal was immediately rejected by Whitebeard. Blackbeard had killed someone on Whitebeard's pirate ship, owing a debt of honor, and for Whitebeard, this was an uncrossable line.So Whitebeard and Red Hair clashed with a single strike, and their powerful Haki directly tore apart the clouds in the sky. This was the power of the Four Emperors, capable of causing celestial anomalies.If Ace were to be captured, this incident would become the fuse for the Marineford War.In his dream, Luke dreamt that Ace severely beat Blackbeard.When Luke woke up, it was already noon the next day, and he still felt like he hadn't slept enough."Master, here's some rock sugar pear stew I made for you. It's delicious after being chilled," Kalifabrought him a chilled drink.Luke drank it all in one gulp, feeling incredibly refreshed. There was nothing more satisfying than a chilled drink in the summer.Nami opened her money cabinet and noticed something was wrong. Only a thousand Berriesremained from 100 million Berries. At first, she thought she was seeing things.After reconfirming, she learned that Luffy had spent all 100 million Berries to host yesterday's banquet.Nami was so furious she almost turned into Misae Nohara, and Luffy was beaten into an alien form."We already got the ship, so just use it," Luffy said, with a large bump on his head.Nami cried heartbrokenly, "I wanted to add luxurious furniture to the ship!"Luffy then said, "Nami, I want to go out and play. Give me some pocket money.""Ah! How dare you even say that? You're not getting any!" Nami gave Luffy another beating.Luke yawned and reminded her, "Nami, there's another safe next to it. Open it and see. There should be 500 million Berries inside. The password is six eights."Upon hearing about the money, Nami looked at the safe next to her. Franky had delivered it this morning, with Kalifa supervising the entire process. The discarded gold from Enies Lobby had been sold for 1 billion Berries. 500 million Berries were given to Franky to make the ship even more luxurious, and the remaining 500 million Berries were for Nami to manage carefully.After entering the password, 500 million Berriesappeared in the safe, and Nami was so happy she almost fainted."This is great, Xiao! Indeed, indeed, you understand me the best!" Nami hugged Luke, crying uncontrollably."Master, please show me some affection too," Kalifaleaned against Luke on the other side.Sanji, seeing this scene, couldn't take it anymore and stomped his foot in anger: "What kind of imperial treatment is this? It's unfair! Protest, protest!""Rich and handsome," Luke said, shaking his head modestly."Nami-san, please hug me too," Sanji's expression looked very pitiful."Let's go, Robin! We're going to buy some luxurious furniture!"Nami ignored Sanji, took a few million Berries, locked the safe, changed the password, and pulled Robin towards the market.Sanji was left feeling lost.Nami wasn't a miser; she distributed some money to everyone so they could buy what they needed, and a pleasant shopping spree began.Luke was too lazy to go out, so he directly instructed Kalifa to buy some interesting and collectible items.Because Luke still had to continue studying the remaining Rokushiki tutorials.The new ship incorporated an electrical system, so Franky's design changed quite a bit, and the construction difficulty also increased. Conservatively, it would take at least fifteen days to complete this new ship.So for the next half month, he would stay in Water 7and study diligently.Luke had already completed six beginner tutorials and one intermediate tutorial. He still had five intermediate tutorials, six advanced tutorials, and three ultimate technique courses left.In total, he had 14 lessons left, which meant 140 hours. If he powered through for ten days straight, he would definitely finish it, the timing was just right.After everyone left, Luke lay in his bedroom and began his course training.Three days later, Luke completed five intermediate Rokushiki courses.Five days later, Luke completed five advanced Rokushiki courses.Now, only the three ultimate technique courses remained.Finally, it was time for the ultimate technique courses, which Luke was very much looking forward to.Entering the Book Spirit's world, he saw the majestic Book Spirit, who had transformed into Garp."You've arrived. Congratulations on completing the beginner, intermediate, and advanced Rokushikicourses. Now, only the last three ultimate technique courses remain. After completing them, you will be a top-tier user of Rokushiki," the Book Spirit said."That's fantastic! Can you tell me what the ultimate technique courses Teach?"The Book Spirit introduced the specific contents of the ultimate technique courses, including Tobu Shigan (Flying Finger Pistol), Rokuogan (Six King Gun), and Rankyaku: Senzan (Tempest Kick: Mountain Splitter).Tobu Shigan (Flying Finger Pistol): Prolonged training fills the fingers with destructive power. By striking the air with the fingers, crescent-shaped air bullets are fired to attack distant enemies, also known as a shooting-type Finger Pistol.Rokuogan (Six King Gun): The highest ultimate technique that only those who have mastered Rokushiki and trained it to its extreme can comprehend. Both hands clench into fists and are brought together, unleashing a powerful, shockwave-like attack.Rankyaku: Senzan (Tempest Kick: Mountain Splitter): A semi-circular vacuum slash with destructive power is kicked out instantly. Its immense power can even cleave mountains.
Chapter 156: Reward for AllChapter 156: All-Crew BountiesTwo more days passed, and Luke finally finished his three advanced lessons.Physically and mentally exhausted, Luke lay on the grass, gazing at the sky. Ten days had passed like a white colt galloping past a crevice, and he had grasped the essence of Rokushiki.Building on the Finger Pistol, Luke had also developed the Fiery Pistol.Using his fingers to strike the air, he could fire air bullets infused with flames at incredible speed. Now, Luke's hands were like human machine guns; his entire body was a weapon.Similarly, his Tempest Kick could also be imbued with flames.Returning to the room, he found everyone discussing their next island destination.Nami's Log Pose pointed downwards.Kokoro smiled and said, "The next island is Fish-Man Island, an underwater paradise."Speaking of Fish-Man Island, Nami's mood became complicated. Their village had been occupied by the Fishman Arlong for so long that she had no good feelings towards Fishmen.Sanji, however, was very knowledgeable about Fish-Man Island and enthusiastically introduced it: "Fish-Man Island is a famous location on the Grand Line, a dream kingdom where beautiful mermaids draw arcs on the sea surface and can play with fish."Then Sanji glanced back, saw the mermaid Kokoro, and painfully pounded the ground.Reaching Fish-Man Island was not an easy task.Kokoro picked up a newspaper and showed it to everyone. It reported that 14 ships had disappeared this month in the Florian Triangle.That area was the only sea route to Fish-Man Island, and more than 100 ships went missing there every year.Although missing ships were sometimes found later, there were countless sightings of ghost ships carrying the dead, drifting at sea."No way! I absolutely don't want to encounter such a terrifying ship!" Nami exclaimed."Those who get into trouble can't get out of that sea area. It's a dark sea shrouded in thick fog, so be careful. In short, it's a sea area with many shipwrecks, so be sure to prepare thoroughly before setting sail," Kokoro warned.Robin casually remarked, "There are usually legends of treasures on merchant or pirate ghost ships, aren't there?"Hearing about treasure, Nami immediately perked up: "Let's go find a ghost ship!""Leave it to me!" Luffy cheered excitedly.It seemed the next arc would involve facing one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gekko Moriah, and adding a new crew member, the musician Brook.Just as everyone was discussing the Florian Triangle, Franky's two female attendants, along with Chimney and her pet Gonbe, rushed in, breathless."What's wrong?" Luke asked, smoking at the doorway."Big Brother Franky sent us to find everyone; the ship of dreams is finished!" said one of the attendants."He built an amazing ship!" Chimney exclaimed.It only took ten days to build the new ship.This was five days ahead of schedule, truly worthy of Franky.During this time, Franky, Iceberg, and Paulie had worked day and night to build the new ship. Frankyhad specifically instructed that no one should visit during construction, as he wanted to give everyone a surprise once it was finished."It's already done? That's fast!" Luffy was thrilled."That's because it was built by five super-First-class boatman," the attendant said.Hearing this, everyone was eager to go see the new ship.Just as they were about to leave, the younger members of the Franky Family ran over, shouting, their expressions anxious."What's wrong with you guys? Why are you so out of breath?" Nami asked."Actually, I have an urgent request. Have you seen the wanted posters?" Zambai, the elder brother of the Franky Family, said, panting."Wanted posters?""Your bounty is an incredible amount, Big Brother Straw Hat, and everyone else has been put on wanted posters too," Zambai said."I have one too? That's great!" Sanji was excited.As soon as Sanji finished speaking, Luke burst out laughing. He remembered Sanji's wanted poster, which was incredibly ugly.The reason the newspaper failed to get a photo of Sanji was simple: the reporter forgot to remove the lens cap when taking the picture, resulting in a completely black image. So, they could only draw him from imagination."Xiao, what do you mean? Are you mocking me? Do I not deserve a wanted poster?" Sanji indignantly questioned Luke.Luke covered his mouth, stifling his laughter: "Sorry, I just remembered something amusing."In fact, everyone was quite excited about their bounty amounts.Zambai took out the wanted posters and spread them on the ground for everyone to see.First was Straw Hat Luffy, with a bounty of 300 million Berries.Next was Fire Fist Luke, with a bounty of 270 million Berries.Pirate Hunter Zoro, 120 million Berries.Devil Child Nico Robin, with a bounty of 80 million Berries.Black Leg Sanji, photo acquisition failed, bounty of 77 million Berries.Sniper King Usopp, with a bounty of 30 million Berries.Cat Burglar Nami, 16 million Berries.Cotton Candy Lover Chopper, pet, bounty of 50 Berries.The total amount exceeded 800 million Berries.On the wanted posters, everyone had their own title. Luke's title had changed from Thunder Hammer to Fire Fist.Sanji looked at the photo on his wanted poster, momentarily disbelieving: "Who is this?""Haha!" Luke laughed twice, then immediately covered his mouth. He would still rely on the cook for food in the future, so he couldn't mock him. He had to hold it in.Nami slumped to the ground. Having a wanted poster meant being wanted, and enemies seeking bounties could appear at any time.Chopper was directly petrified, with a bounty of only 50 Berries."That's too little, Chopper. A newspaper costs 100 Berries," Luke said."50~~" Chopper mumbled.Seeing everyone looking disheartened, Zambai said, "I understand how you're feeling right now. Although I have a thousand words, what we want to ask you is this."Zambai pulled out the last wanted poster: Cyborg Franky, with a bounty of 44 million Berries."If Big Brother continues to stay in Water 7, his life will be in danger. If he's caught again, we won't be able to save him. So, we all discussed it. Big Brother Straw Hat, we beg you, even if you have to force him, take Big Brother out to sea. That man is a child of pirates to begin with!""Big Brother Straw Hat, this is the wish of all of us.""Please!"The entire Franky Family knelt down.Luffy smiled: "You don't have to say it; I would do it anyway. I already decided that he's the only shipwright for us.""Really? Do the rest of you have no objections?" Zambai looked at the other members of the Straw Hat Crew.At this moment, Sanji and Chopper were petrified and hadn't heard him at all. Nami was engrossed in her depression over having a bounty and said she didn't care who joined the Straw Hat Crew."Of course," Robin said."No problem," Luke said."That's right," Zoro said."That's great! Since they've agreed, there's no need to say more. Let's go, lads!"Zambai led the younger members of the Franky Family out of the courtyard.
Chapter 157 Dream ShipChapter 157: The Ship of DreamsEveryone packed their luggage, preparing to head to the shipyard.Usopp was still wandering the streets; he actually wanted to return, but he was too proud and still hoped for a grand comeback.Before leaving, Sanji held his wanted poster, depressed beyond redemption.Sanji cared about how all the women in the world viewed him, and now he was certainly being ridiculed.Nami's photo, taken from a side angle, looked somewhat alluring and charming, snapped by a magazine in the city."Hurry up, Big Brother is waiting!" Franky's two maids said at the door."Sorry, sorry!" Luffy greeted them, then walked out of the room with everyone.Luke was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, so he simply closed them and let Kalifa carry him on her back.Kalifa had taken many pills these past few days and now had over a thousand Doriki; carrying ten of herself would be no problem.Lying on Kalifa's back, Luke immediately fell into a deep sleep.Kalifa gently carried Luke on her back, heading to the shipyard with everyone.Nami occasionally glanced at the sleeping Luke, wondering if this guy was on an adventure or just enjoying himself; she felt extremely unbalanced inside.Everyone jogged along, arriving at the abandoned shipyard, where a massive ship was covered by a tarp.Mr. Iceberg stood in front of the new ship, waiting for them."Unfortunately, Franky isn't here right now, but the ship is finished. I'll show it to you on his behalf."Mr. Iceberg walked towards the new ship: "This ship is incredible! Even I was wide-eyed when I saw the blueprints. It can cross any sea, and with this ship, going to the ends of the world isn't just a dream!""Let me see it quickly!" Luffy was already impatient.Chopper's eyes also lit up: "Hurry!""Franky asked me to tell you this, Straw Hat, if one day you become the Pirate King, then sail on this King of Beasts!"With that, Iceberg pulled down the tarp covering the new ship, revealing the luxurious new vessel, the Thousand Sunny, also known as the Sunny.Even Luke, who had seen the Sunny in the anime, was awestruck by the ship; it was truly magnificent.The beautiful combination of gold, red, and wood colors made it very appealing.The sunflower on the bow, no, it was a lion, was both cute and imposing.The Straw Hat Crew members let out exclamations of amazement.With this ship accompanying them on their future journeys, their spirits would be very joyful."It's so big, so cool, and there are so many things I've never seen before!" Luffy excitedly stomped his feet.Even Zoro exclaimed, "It's several times bigger than the Going Merry.""What a huge mainsail!" Nami said happily.Robin said, "What a magnificent ship. Is that a flower on the bow?"Mr. Iceberg pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I think that should be a lion's head."Luffy was already impatiently jumping onto the new ship, and the others quickly boarded as well.The first thing they saw was a deck with a lawn, which was incredibly cool. It was rare to see land and grass during voyages, but now they could touch it anytime, anywhere on the deck.There was even a slide, it could be used as a garden."Oh~~ There's the locked refrigerator I've always dreamed of, and a huge oven! Thank you so much, Franky!" Sanji was the first to rush into the kitchen, feeling like he had entered a new continent.Luke walked around the Sunny, summarizing the facilities it possessed.There were a men's room, a women's room, a cola energy supply room, an electricity supply room, an imagery room, a KTV, a game room, a medical room, a gym, a kitchen, a granary, an aquarium, a library, a measurement room, a bathroom, a small factory, a timber reinforcement storage, an ammunition and military weapons storage, and a dock.Inside the dock were sub-ship systems (also known as soldiers) used to assist the mother ship's navigation. The circular dock was divided into six small rooms. By selecting a channel using the numbers on the helm and the lever nearby, occupants could first go to the "crew standby room" located in the center of the ship.Luke focused on the electricity supply room, imagery room, game room, and KTV. These were facilities he had asked Franky to build, operating on electricity, and were perfect places for leisure and relaxation.The imagery room could play movies, the game room included a billiard table, a basketball hoop, etc., and the KTV was for singing loudly.With these entertainment facilities, the journey wouldn't be too boring.Arriving at the electricity supply room, Luke tried to inject electrical energy into the golden orb, and the entire Sunny instantly lit up.All the lights on the Sunny turned on, in various colors, and then the music from the KTV started, and everyone began to sway to the beat."Let's sway!" Luke waved the glow stick in his hand."Sway!" Luffy and Chopper, each holding a glow stick, twisted wildly under the colorful lights and pumping music."Sing with me, Ultraman, Ultraman!" Luke shook his head frantically."Ultraman, Ultraman." Luffy and Chopper followed, shaking their heads."Fight monsters, fight monsters!""Fight monsters, fight monsters!""Buy a watch, buy a watch!""Buy a watch, buy a watch!""Slim waist, slim waist!""Slim waist, slim waist!""I can't help but sway, please give me a minute!" Luke held the microphone, facing the sky at a 45-degree angle."I can't help but sway, please give me a minute!" Luffy and Chopper stood on either side of Luke, shouting into the microphone."You three, quiet down! What Ultraman, what buying a watch? You're so noisy!"Accompanied by Nami's roar, each of the three had a large bump on their heads and quieted down."But we were singing~~" Luffy said with a wronged expression."You're too loud! Next time you sing, close the door and turn the volume down!" Nami stood with her hands on her hips."Understood." Luke was also intimidated by Nami's aura.After quieting down, everyone remembered the main business.Luffy asked, "Uncle Iceberg, where did Franky go?"Iceberg told Luffy that Franky didn't intend to come over.Because Franky had already realized that Luffymight invite him to be the shipwright, and Luffyconfirmed this statement."So he's unwilling?""Quite the opposite. If you invited him face-to-face, he wouldn't have the confidence to refuse you, so he hid. In fact, he really hopes to set sail with you. Entrusting this ship of dreams to you makes that clear, doesn't it? Franky genuinely likes you guys, but he's imposed upon himself the obligation to stay on this island forever. If you truly want to take him, use any means necessary. Forcibly taking him is the only way to free him!" Iceberg said.So everyone gathered around, discussing how to forcibly take Franky away.Luke said, "Let's first go find the younger brothers of Franky House. They know Franky very well and will surely have a way to get Franky to come here.""Alright, let's go find Franky, Luke, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, let's go!"The five of them rode the Somersault Cloud, flying towards Water 7 at an extremely slow speed, severely overloaded."By the way, isn't this speed a bit slow?" Sanji said, puffing on his cigarette."More than slow, I can run faster than this!" Zorosaid."Go, Somersault Cloud!" Luffy kept cheering on the Somersault Cloud, but it was to no avail.
Chapter 158 Sauron's PrinciplesChapter 158: Zoro's PrincipleThe Somersault Cloud carried everyone into Water 7. Not long after they flew, they heard a commotion ahead.It turned out to be Franky's subordinates, who had stolen Franky's pants, and Franky was staging a street chase for his pants.Franky was truly ruthless, firing cannonballs at residential buildings, destroying many houses.The reason for Franky's pants was that his subordinates hoped Franky would chase after them, leading him to the Straw Hat.Just as the guy holding the pants was about to be caught by Franky, Luffy stretched out his rubber arm: "Throw them up!"Franky's subordinate swung hard, throwing the pants into Luffy's hand. Luffy then took them and started running towards the Sunny.Franky chased desperately behind, his lower half bare and swaying in the wind.The surrounding residents couldn't stand it; it was an eyesore: "Pervert, get out!""Shameless!""You! @#@!#"Franky didn't care, running forward with his head held high and chest puffed out."I say, do you like the ship?" Franky shouted.Luffy said, "Hehe, I've never seen such a great ship, thank you!""Of course! With my super design, all your requests have been included. Have you seen the Soldier Dock System I invented?""Not yet!"Luffy ran on the rooftops with the pants, while Franky chased below, naked, drawing gasps from the onlookers.After about five minutes of running, Franky kept introducing the ship's features, looking very happy and proud.Once he finished the introduction, Franky pulled out a cannon and fired at Luffy.The explosion blew Luffy away. Luffy then played hot potato with the pants, throwing them to Chopper.Chopper leaped into the air and surprisingly caught Franky's pants with his mouth."Chopper!" Luke gave Chopper a thumbs up.Chopper looked at the pants in his mouth and only then realized something was wrong."Ah!~~ Franky's pants, ugh, bleh, bleh, bleh!"The pants once again floated in the wind.When Franky tried to jump up and grab the pants, Sanji and Zoro appeared, grabbing Franky's left and right arms, then stuffing Franky into the large cannon his subordinates had prepared."Aim for Scrapyard Island!"Franky's subordinate aimed the cannon at Scrapyard Island and lit the fuse.With a thunderous roar, Franky flew towards Scrapyard Island, which was where the Sunny was located."Catch me, Chopper!"Seeing Franky fly away, Luffy stood on top of the town, stretching his arms.To Chopper's astonishment, he and Chopper flew towards Scrapyard Island like marbles.Luke took out the Somersault Cloud, with Sanji and Zoro standing on each side, and then flew towards Scrapyard Island.The three of them, it could be said, didn't quite see eye to eye with each other."The Somersault Cloud's maximum speed only supports two passengers," Luke reminded.Zoro nodded: "In that case, pervy cook, get down!""What did you say, you moss-head? Your muscle mass is much heavier than mine!" Sanji retorted.Luke snorted softly: "It's time to show some real skill."Luke leaped into the air, jumping down from the Somersault Cloud."Hey, what are you doing?" Sanji asked."Don't worry, he must have some other gadget," Zoro said confidently, crossing his arms.Immediately after, Zoro and Sanji saw Luke pass by them.Looking closely, Luke wasn't stepping on any gadget, nor did he have any gadgets on his back or in his hands.Luke was running in the air, moving at an extremely fast speed."Moonwalk?" Zoro said in surprise."It... it seems so," Sanji raised an eyebrow."If I don't work harder, I won't be able to catch up with that monster," Zoro looked at Luke, his eyes filled with fighting spirit."Needless to say, moss-head!" Sanji also decided to train hard.Using Moonwalk, Luke flew to Scrapyard Island at an incredibly fast speed and landed on the Sunny.Luffy and Chopper looked at Luke in astonishment."Xiao, you can fly!?" Chopper exclaimed."I have invisible wings," Luke said."Really!?" Luffy and Chopper's eyes lit up, believing him.Just then, Zoro and Sanji flew back, riding the Somersault Cloud."You two idiots, that's Moonwalk! How can a person grow wings?" Sanji said."Moonwalk? Luke, you actually learned Moonwalk! Can you teach me?" Luffy asked humbly."No problem. I'll give you a book later, and you'll know it after you study it."Luke decided to take out "The Rokushiki Crash Course Secret Manual" and give it to Luffy to study."A book! I don't understand books," Luffy said, rubbing his head with some resistance."You'll know later. Let's deal with Franky's matter first," Luke said."Ah, I almost forgot! Thank you for building our ship, Franky!"Luffy shouted loudly towards Franky, who was not far away.Franky pushed down his sunglasses: "I wish you a safe journey."Luffy said, "If you want your pants back, become our nakama!"Those were Franky's only pants; he had never been seen changing or washing them, cherishing them like a treasure.Franky stood on the pile of scrap, his arms pressed together, pointing towards the sky."Aww~~~ A man, though naked, is worth a thousand pounds, fierce as a lion unafraid of great waves!"At this moment, Franky's body was emitting light. That's right, the light of a rogue poet, a rogue poet with no rhyme, and not even as catchy as Zoro's attack names.The surrounding onlookers were all stunned."He's posing even with his lower half bare!""Don't look!" Mama covered her daughter's eyes."It's too bad, that guy is too bad."Seeing Franky like this, Luffy also knew he was too naive. It would be difficult to get him to join by relying on his pants."I was too naive. I didn't expect him to be so strong. That guy is a man among men!" Luffy's favorability towards Franky increased."He's just a gentleman!" Nami smacked Luffy on the head.At this moment, our big sister Robin needed to make an appearance.Robin smiled slightly: "If you want to be rougher, I can help!"Then, the classic scene unfolded."Dos Fleur."Two white jade arms appeared.Amidst everyone's exclamations, Robin clenched her hands.The Dos Fleur arms squeezed Franky, which looked painful."Ga-ya!~~~"Franky was numb with pain all over, though it was unclear if it was real pain or pleasure."Look, that must hurt so much!" Luffy's eyes were almost popping out.Chopper covered his face: "Ah, Robin! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!"Franky was seen moving left and right like a crab, unable to break free.Shipwright Iceburg's cigar fell to the ground, and even Franky's two female attendants exclaimed:Luffy slapped the deck: "Hey Robin, I want him to join as a man! Don't twist it off!"Franky's agonizing screams echoed across Scrapyard Island.// Chapter 158 was bannedFranky lay on the ground, still unyielding, claiming that the Sunny was the last ship he ever built, and his ship of dreams.But Iceburg exposed his lie; that wasn't the ship of dreams Franky spoke of. The true ship of dreams is one that he sails on, crossing countless seas, enduring countless battles and hardships, and only when it reaches the end of the sea can it become a ship of dreams—this is what Franky told Iceburg when he was a child.Only by personally witnessing the Sunny's future could it be considered a ship of dreams."Everything you're doing on this island now is compensation," Mr. Iceburg said.Franky was still bothered by Mr. Tom's arrest, because the armed ship he built led to Mr. Tombeing framed and ultimately killed. Although Mr. Tom forgave him, Franky couldn't forgive himself."Whether you're with the thugs in the back alleys or protecting this island under the guise of a bounty hunter, everything is to protect Water 7, which Mr. Tom loved. Even though Mr. Tom has forgiven you, and I have forgiven you, nothing has changed. It's about time you forgave yourself, Franky. You can finally live for your own dream!" Iceburg said.At this moment, Franky was in tears, sobbing loudly.The Franky Family also came to see Franky off, throwing his luggage bag over.They thanked Franky for taking care of them all these years, for taking in those homeless outcasts in the back alleys."You guys, each and every one of you..."Franky covered his lower half, then started shouting in pain, a sight that was quite shocking.Actually, Robin only squeezed him at the very beginning and didn't squeeze him afterward. Frankywasn't in pain at all now; he was just giving himself an excuse, quite like a seasoned actor.Robin smiled slightly: "All I did was grab him at the very beginning. He's very cunning, using pain to mask his tears."Franky lay on the ground, rolling around and shouting in agony.Just then, Luke saw Garp's dog-headed Marinewarship approaching from a distance."Hey, it's time to go. Your grandpa's warship is here," Luke warned."Why? Didn't he say he wouldn't catch us here?" Luffy asked, puzzled."We don't know, and Franky, aren't you going to put on your underwear?" Luke said.Luffy forcefully threw the underwear in his hand to Franky."Come on, get on, Franky, come to my ship!" Luffysaid."Hehe, don't be so presumptuous, you bunch of amateurs who only know how to patch holes. Such a luxurious ship, yet without a single shipwright, it's truly pathetic. No choice, I'll take care of it! Your shipwright will be me, Franky!" Franky said.He finally agreed; he's such a tsundere."That's great, we have a new nakama!" Luffybeamed with a happy smile.Franky, carrying his luggage backpack, walked step by step towards the Sunny."Young shipwrights of Galley-La, I entrust Iceburg to you. I've caused you a lot of trouble. Kokoro, little one, and Rabbit, Yokozuna, the lively citizens, my sisters, Sodom, Gomorrah, and my lovely subordinates, I'm off."Franky finally boarded the ship.The Sunny set sail. Luffy sat in a deck chair, appearing calm but inwardly panicking.It was the first time Luke saw Luffy shaking his leg, yet pretending to be nonchalant.The reason was simple: Usopp hadn't boarded the ship yet.Due to their previous conflict, the two hadn't reconciled.Actually, it was just a thin barrier, and once broken, everything would be resolved.Luffy learned from Sanji that Usopp had been seen loitering outside the door last night, rehearsing his lines for his return, which meant Usopp had the intention of coming back.Luffy was happy to hear this and originally wanted to go find Usopp and bring him back, but he was stopped by Zoro.Zoro's principles were very sound at critical moments, which Luke greatly admired. He recalled what Zoro had said to Luffy last night."I won't allow any of you to go get him. Even if he made a mistake, you can't humble yourself. Luffy, until he bows his head and admits his mistake, I will not forgive him."Nami wanted to refute Zoro, but Zoro immediately silenced her with a "Shut up.""When Luffy and Usopp started arguing, no matter what their thoughts were, no matter who was right or wrong, since men decided to duel, the outcome was entrusted to the battle. Then that guy lost and left on his own. All of you listen carefully, no matter how foolish, Luffy is our Captain. We don't need someone in our crew who doesn't listen to the Captain's words at critical moments.""A crew where even the Captain has no authority will surely collapse. Listen up, Luffy, I don't care how you're fooled normally, but you are still a man above me. If you do something so pathetic, next time I'll leave this crew of yours.""If that idiot sincerely wants to come back, then fine. However, if this matter isn't properly resolved and he tries to gloss over it, I will absolutely not allow it. In that case, we'll just have to leave Usopp on the island."Nami said, "Wait, Zoro. Indeed, that guy also has his flaws, but we can just scold him properly after he comes back, right?"Zoro directly drew his katana and stabbed it into the deck: "Is leaving a crew such a simple thing?""No, but..." Nami was momentarily unable to retort.Sanji said, "Miss Nami, I'm afraid that, this time, he's right."Zoro held the hilt of his sword, his expression serious: "We can't trust a man who dares to do something like that so casually. It's simple: if Usopp's first words upon returning are of deep remorse, then fine. Otherwise, there will be no place for him to return. We're not playing a children's pirate game!"So, everyone was now waiting for Usopp. Even though they had set sail, the ship wasn't moving very fast, drifting slowly forward.After waiting for a while, Usopp still didn't appear.Luffy was already drenched in sweat: "I've been waiting, but he hasn't shown up. This is his answer. That guy can be happy on his own. He won't give up being a pirate. It would be great if we could meet on the sea someday. Haha, hahahaha, hahahaha!"Luffy's laughter was insincere; it was obvious he was saying things he didn't mean.Zoro leaned on the deck, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of his sword, his brows furrowed. He also hoped Usopp would appear and sincerely apologize.After waiting for a while, Usopp didn't appear, but Garp's dog-headed Marine warship did.Garp stood on the warship with a megaphone, shouting: "Hey, Luffy, can you hear me? I'm your grandpa, I'm your grandpa.""Grandpa, what are you doing? Didn't you say you wouldn't catch us here?""But a lot has happened. Sorry, you're still going to die at the bottom of the sea.""Eh!!!""Even if it's an apology, I'll take you on alone. Bring me the cannonballs!"Garp extended his right hand, and a Marine soldier laboriously handed him a cannonball with both hands.The cannonball was huge, but Garp tossed it around in his hand as if playing with a tennis ball."Fist of Love: Meteor!"Garp flung the cannonball with one hand. It flew faster and with more force than if fired from a cannon, causing a violent explosion on the sea surface next to the Sunny.It was clear that the first shot was just a warning, a near miss; he would get serious next.The crew members were all stunned by Garp, who threw cannonballs by hand. They immediately grabbed their weapons and stood ready. Although the new ship was durable, it couldn't withstand this kind of abuse.
Chapter 159: Usopp's Return and the Touring BountyChapter 159: The Return of Usopp and the Circulating Wanted PostersAccompanied by Garp's hearty laughter, Marinesoldiers quickly ran, bringing Garp 1000 cannonballs and placing them before him.Next was the performance of Garp's Fist of Love: Meteor Shower.Cannonballs flew like a meteor shower, and everyone used all their might to block them.The crucial thing was, why hadn't Usopp arrived yet?"He's here! It's Usopp!" Chopper excitedly shouted, peering over the mast.Usopp's figure appeared on the shore of Scrap Island."I'm still here! Why, why, didn't we fight together even after arguing? I'm the great Sniper King who made such a big impact! Did you abandon me just because I didn't show up? Wait for me!"Usopp shouted there, but everyone pretended not to hear him, all waiting for him to apologize.Usopp kept running towards the shore, but the Sunny didn't speed up."Cheer! It's me! Chopper, the weather's great today, let's go fishing! Oh, wait, this isn't the time for that, ah ha ha ha! Oh, right, I have good news for you all! It's fine if I become the Vice Captain when I return, how about it? Hey, Luffy, everyone!"Usopp ran, waving his arms, suffering for his pride."You wouldn't actually believe those jokes from back then, would you? We've been together for so long, how could those be my true feelings? Even though I said a lot of things I shouldn't have, we're still comrades! Let's just let a small matter like that go, hey, say something!"Everyone still ignored Usopp, not hearing the crucial point.Seeing the Sunny getting further and further away, Usopp realized the seriousness of the situation; no matter how much he shouted, there was no response."Luffy, Usopp is calling us," Chopper said."I didn't hear him," Luffy said, kicking away a cannonball."Xiao!" Chopper looked at Luke again.Luke made a gun shape with his right hand and used Finger Pistol to blow up a cannonball.Luke shook his head: "Captain didn't hear him, and I didn't either.""You're lying! You all heard him!" Chopper shouted loudly.No one spoke, they were just waiting to see Usopp's next move. If he performed well, he'd get on the ship; if not, it might be goodbye.Usopp knelt on the shore, tears streaming down his face."I'm sorry!"Usopp's loud apology echoed on the shore."I was too proud, I'm sorry, I was wrong."Hearing Usopp's words, everyone smiled."Usopp," Zoro finally let out a sigh of relief."It's embarrassing now, but I said I would leave the crew, can I take back those words? No? Please, let me come with you! Let me be your comrade again!"Luffy looked at Usopp, then extended his rubber arm to Usopp's side on the shore."Idiot, quickly grab me, ow~~~!" Luffy was also in tears at this moment.Usopp roared, then grabbed Luffy's hand and flew back onto the Sunny.Nami couldn't help but shed tears, Sanji cheered happily, and Zoro grumbled, "You're the idiot."Finally, everyone was back on board."Let's escape this cannon barrage and go on an adventure!" Luffy said.Following Franky's instructions, everyone furled the sails, preparing the Coup de Burst."Are you sure it's okay, Franky?" Zoro asked as he furled the sails."Huh? Idiot, you have to believe in this ship!" Frankysaid.Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were now dancing shoulder to shoulder: "Idiot, you just have to believe in it! Idiot, idiot, idiot!"One moment they were crying buckets, now they were dancing together, the idiot trio reliving their past glory.Before firing the Coup de Burst, they needed to name the ship, otherwise, it wouldn't have any momentum when it flew away.Luffy's suggested names were "Bear White Bear Lion," "Tiger Wolf Lion," and "Squid Octopus Masira."Mr. Iceberg's suggested name after building the ship was "Thousand Sunny."Robin's suggested name was "Darkness-maru."Sanji's suggested name was "Sunflower Master."Zoro's suggested name was "Boss Lionel."Franky's suggested name was "Lion Violent Gang Champion."In the end, everyone still thought Mr. Iceberg's suggested name sounded best, so they named it the Thousand Sunny.Just then, Garp pulled out an enormous iron ball, ridiculously large.If that iron ball hit them, even the best ship would be buried at the bottom of the sea."We're gonna die!" Usopp's soul nearly left him the moment he saw the enormous iron ball."Franky, hurry!" Sweat was pouring down Luffy's face.Garp mercilessly threw the enormous iron ball at the Thousand Sunny."Coup de Burst!"The Coup de Burst erupted from the cannon at the stern, and the Thousand Sunny shot into the sky at a 45-degree angle.The Marines were stunned; the ship actually flew away.It flew a thousand meters, leaving the Marinewarships far behind.Franky stood on the deck and proudly declared, "Everything the going merry could do, this ship can do, and it can do it even better. The brave soul of that ship will be inherited by this Thousand Sunny. If it gets damaged, I'll repair it perfectly. Leave the ship and weapons to me! From today on, this guy is your ship!"Then the Thousand Sunny landed steadily on the water, with only a slight jolt.Watching the Sunny depart, Garp sighed, "He truly is my grandson."Meanwhile, all over the world, newspapers reported on the Straw Hat's daring raid on Enies Lobby.On an island in the Grand Line, Smoker received the wanted posters from Tashigi.Smoker looked at the wanted posters, feeling that their growth was too fast."What we need now is status. After the Enies Lobbyincident, the whole world looks at the Straw Hat in a new light. I will stake my pride and destroy them in the New World!" Smoker resolved.At the Baratie, the sea restaurant in the East Blue, the chefs saw reports about the Enies Lobbyincident, as well as Sanji's wanted poster."Ya ha ha ha ha!"The chefs were practically dying of laughter."Sanji is truly amazing.""It's really him! A 77 million bounty outlaw, Black Leg Sanji's old friend, Sea Restaurant Baratie, welcome!"In Windmill Village, East Blue, Luffy's hometown.The villagers gathered at the tavern, discussing Luffy. They believed Luffy was now the most successful pirate in the East Blue."Cheers!" The villagers drank heartily.The village chief sighed helplessly, "What in the world is Garp doing? His grandson is involved in such a huge incident, and he doesn't do anything. All three generations have problems. I wonder if Dadan knows about this."Syrup Village, East Blue, Usopp's hometown.Kaya looked at the Sniper King's wanted poster. Although he was wearing a mask, she recognized him at a glance."There's no mistake, it's Usopp," Kaya said."Right? It's Captain! Look at his nose. No one in the village believes it.""Because it's 30 million Berries!""I'm sure Miss Kaya would recognize him right away," Usopp's three subordinates said happily.Shimotsuki Village, East Blue, Zoro's hometown.The students at the dojo held Zoro's wanted poster, full of admiration."Teacher, teacher, was Pirate Hunter Zoro really in this dojo?""Yes, it's true, but you shouldn't admire him.""Why? He's so cool! Teach us to be pirates too!"Genzo said, "I never taught him how to be a pirate."Although the Enies Lobby incident surprised Genzo, he felt that Zoro's heart was not lost. No matter what kind of person Zoro became, as long as he stuck to his swordsmanship, it would be fine.Cocoyasi Village, East Blue, Nami's hometown.A Jian pasted Nami's enormous wanted poster on his wall."How can they distribute such a lewd wanted poster to the whole world? It's more like a marriage proposal than a wanted poster! It's utterly indecent!" A Jian said righteously.Nami's sister, Nojiko, said, "But you really like that picture, you even enlarged it!"Grand Line, Drum Kingdom, Chopper's hometown.Dalton handed the Straw Hat's wanted posters to Doctor Kureha.Looking at Chopper's 50 bounty, Kureha laughed happily: "As long as I can see his face, nothing else matters."Grand Line, Desert Kingdom, Alabasta.Princess Vivi and the King discussed Luffy."I believe everything they do. It's useless to overthink it; their abilities are completely different from ours.""You've matured, Lady Vivi."Grand Line, Baltigo, the White Soil Island.Revolutionary Army leader Monkey D. Dragon received Luffy's wanted poster.Dragon went to the rooftop alone."Live as you wish, Luffy. Sometimes, an era will question the world with various coincidences and passions. One day, we will meet, won't we?"Everyone on the Thousand Sunny had already started celebrating."Everyone, do you all have drinks?""Yes.""Then, once again, to the returning Robin and Usopp, and to our new comrades Franky, Kalifa, and the pirate ship Thousand Sunny, cheers!""Cheers!"
Chapter 160 Weight-bearing ExercisesChapter 160: Weighted TrainingA new day dawned, and the Thousand Sunny sailed across the vast blue ocean.Nami was enjoying a relaxing bath in the spacious bathroom, gazing at the sea through the window.Chopper, in his dedicated infirmary, wore a stethoscope and began to mimic a doctor examining a patient."I caught one! I caught a magnificent shark!""Put it in! Put it in the water tank!"Luffy carried the shark and placed it into the aquarium.He then went with Usopp to the aquarium room."Hey, is the shark in?" Luffy asked happily.Robin nodded, "Yes, it's in, but all the fish we caught earlier are gone."Looking through the giant horizontal glass panel, the shark that had entered the aquarium had eaten all the fish inside and let out a satisfied burp.Sanji couldn't help but complain, "You guys need to consider coexistence! Isn't that obvious?""Damn it! I'm going to make him tonight's dinner! Sanji, grilled shark! This stupid shark!!" Luffy raged.Luke, meanwhile, was fishing from the fishing platform specifically built by Franky.He had fished all morning, catching only items of little value. All the fish he caught were put into the aquarium, only to be eaten by the shark Luffy had just put in.Suddenly, Luke felt the fishing rod in his hand sink heavily. This feeling was different.Luke immediately began reeling in the rod, which felt incredibly heavy. He might have caught a treasure chest.While reeling, Luke tugged a few times and found no counter-pulling force, indicating it wasn't a living creature.Luke pulled hard upwards, and a dark, black object was hauled from the sea onto the deck.Coincidentally, Luffy walked out at that moment, and the dark, black object landed on his head, instantly knocking him unconscious."Hey, Luffy, are you okay?!"Luke went over to Luffy and saw two footprints on his face. The dark object turned out to be a pair of shoes.These shoes were incredibly heavy. Luke picked up one with a single hand and felt it was heavier than Zoro's training equipment."Congratulations! You've caught the Boots of Weight, crafted from Sea Stone. They are heavy and durable, perfect for training."Boots of Weight, interesting. Wearing them would be like strapping on a sandbag.But with their current function, they were still a bit useless. He decided to appraise them.Touching the Boots of Weight, the All-Things Appraisal skill activated."Ding! Appraisal successful. The Boots of Weight have been appraised as Controllable, Breathable Boots of Weight. Their weight can be adjusted at will, with a controllable weight range of 0.01 to 10,000 kilograms!"Who would wear shoes weighing ten thousand kilograms? It would be like having your feet encased in concrete.If he accidentally set them to ten thousand kilograms, he and the shoes would probably punch straight through the deck into the sea.But if controlled properly, they would be excellent for training leg strength.Luffy woke up at this moment. "My head is so dizzy, and why do I feel so weak?"Being hit by Sea Stone shoes has side effects for Devil Fruit users."What is this? Shoes?" Luffy looked at the black shoes with great interest."Try them on," Luke suggested."Okay!"Luffy excitedly put on the Boots of Weight, then collapsed to the ground, completely drained of strength."Why do I feel completely powerless?" Luffy asked innocently."These must be boots made of Sea Stone," the knowledgeable Robin immediately recognized.Luke took the shoes off Luffy's feet and put them on his own. They fit perfectly and were very breathable.[Adjust weight, 0.01 kilograms]0.01 kilograms, or 10 grams. Wearing these shoes felt like not wearing any at all, very light and comfortable.[Adjust weight, 100 kilograms]Luke felt like he had a person strapped to each foot. His walking speed noticeably slowed, as each boot weighed 100 kilograms.He would treat it as weighted training, first adapting to the 100-kilogram intensity, then gradually increasing it.Luke suddenly remembered something and pulled out the "Rokushiki Crash Course Secret Manual," throwing it to Luffy."Don't you want to learn Moonwalk? Open it and see!"Luffy opened the book. Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Franky, and Chopper all gathered around curiously to see what was inside the book that allowed one to learn Rokushiki so quickly.The moment the book opened, they all entered their respective Book Spirit illusions, receiving Garp's baptism.Ten seconds later, Usopp was the first to emerge, bruised and battered, bleeding profusely, and collapsed unconscious.Then came Chopper, eyes rolling back, body convulsing.Next were Sanji and Zoro."I was careless!" Zoro spat out a mouthful of blood."That was terrifying, cough, cough!" Sanji clutched his chest and also coughed up a mouthful of old blood.Luffy then emerged as well. "I saw Grandpa! He was so scary!"Luffy's head was covered in large bumps from being beaten, and his body was black and blue."Xiao, what did you want us to see? Are you trying to murder us?" Sanji exclaimed.Luke waved his hand. "This is a training manual, you guys! Didn't you hear the Book Spirit say that completing all the courses will allow you to learn Rokushiki and its ultimate techniques?""That's true, but the difficulty is immense! Could it be, Xiao, that you've already completed the training?" Zoro looked at Luke in astonishment.Luke shrugged, tacitly confirming it."Damn it, how can I fall behind!" Zoro resolutely plunged back into the Book Spirit's world."Wait for me, Marimo head!" Sanji also rushed into the Book Spirit's world.Luke looked at Luffy, who remained unmoved."Luffy, didn't you want to learn Moonwalk? Aren't you going in?"Luffy lay on the ground, sweating profusely. "Seeing Grandpa makes my stomach hurt."Thanks to Garp's excellent education, Luffy had developed a psychological shadow of him."I forgot to mention, once you're inside, you can ask the Book Spirit to change its appearance. It doesn't have to be your Grandpa; it can be Ace, but the intensity won't change," Luke said.Luffy clapped his fists together. "Oh, in that case, I'm not scared anymore."With that, Luffy once again dove into the Book Spirit's world.Chopper and Usopp, however, had not yet woken up. After they did, they probably wouldn't want to go back in.Robin asked curiously, "Is it a world similar to an illusion?""Yes, I don't recommend girls go in, as the teaching might be a bit violent," Luke said.Robin chuckled. "Is that so? Then I won't go in."Nami looked at Usopp and Chopper's miserable state. Needless to say, she also had no desire to enter the Book Spirit's world.Soon after, the three of them emerged from the illusion, bruised and battered again.The three lay on the ground, panting heavily."Couldn't withstand it, the punches were too hard!" Zoro said."Hmm, that hateful old geezer," Sanji said, looking at the sky and taking a puff from his cigarette."Even though it was Ace, it's hard to just stand there and take a beating!" Luffy complained.
