Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

The only regret is that although he had vaguely grasped the trick of using Conqueror's Haki to entwine the Golden Lion, he still hadn't been able to fully master it.

If the enemy in every battle is the teacher, then the Golden Lion is a somewhat unqualified teacher.

"What a pity," Luffy muttered to himself.

"What's a pity?" Nami didn't hear clearly.

"nothing."

Luffy shook his head and patted his stomach. "It's a bit of a shame that some guy took that old man, Golden Lion, away in the end. Otherwise, we might have been able to have a chat."

"What are you talking about!"

Nami couldn't help but raise her voice, "That kind of dangerous legendary pirate, the further away the better! You really want to invite him onto the ship?"

Luffy whistled and looked up at the sky, looking a little guilty. He had actually had that thought, after all, he was having a lot of fun fighting.

Nami could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. She was so angry that she wanted to twist his ear, but she was worried about his injuries, so she could only stomp her foot.

However, both Luffy and Shiki were still savoring the battle, which clearly spurred on the rest of the crew.

Once Luffy had eaten enough and was able to move around normally, his crewmates gathered around.

Zoro was the first to arrive, his green bandana already tied up and three swords slung at his waist. "Luffy, who are you training with next? I'm ready."

Zoro was eager to improve himself; the aftershocks of the battle he had just fought made him clearly aware of the gap between himself and the top tier.

Chopper opened his mouth, wanting to say that Luffy was just seriously injured.

As a doctor, patients should not be treated this way.

But seeing Luffy already full of energy, he swallowed his words and only expressed the same longing with his round eyes.

Chopper wants to become stronger too!

Sanji also came over. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

Although Usopp was a little scared, he mustered up his courage and stood at the back. Even Little Merry blinked her big eyes and looked at Luffy expectantly.

Looking at his crewmates' high spirits, Luffy couldn't help but scratch his head: "What's wrong with you all?"

"nonsense!"

Sanji lit a cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring. "It's not a pleasant feeling to watch you fight all by yourself while we can't do much to help. Mosshead, don't hold us back this time."

"Who are you calling a drag? Curly-browed guy, wanna fight?"

Zoro immediately retorted.

"Come on, let's stretch our muscles!"

These two can argue all day long.

However, this time it stopped quickly because there were more important things to do.

Sanji lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and stared at Luffy with a dangerous look: "Hey, Luffy, you can't keep choosing ladies! You've been going back and forth between several ladies every day lately, I'm starting to suspect you're doing it on purpose!"

The sourness in his voice was almost palpable.

"That's not something I can completely decide," Luffy said, spreading his hands innocently.

The [One Piece Training Program] has a great deal of say in arranging learning partners.

As a result, everyone stared at him with a strange expression that said, "You'd never believe that."

Choosing who to study and train with is not something you, as the captain, can decide.

You're kidding me!

However, Luffy's strange behavior wasn't something that happened overnight, and everyone was already used to it. But at this moment, they were all extremely eager to become stronger.

No matter who it is, or in what aspect.

Since Sanji and Zoro are combatants, they naturally want to increase their strength.

Chopper also wants to improve in this area, and if he trains with Luffy, there's a high probability that this will also help him as the ship's doctor.

Learning is about learning from each other.

As a sniper, Usopp was very interested in Luffy's talk of Observation Haki.

Wouldn't a sniper's combat effectiveness be greatly enhanced if they had this capability?

Vivi wants to develop her Wind-Wind Fruit, and currently, Luffy is undoubtedly the most authoritative figure on the ship when it comes to developing Devil Fruits.

While Robin and Nami don't aspire to become as strong as combatants like Sanji and Zoro, developing their abilities or improving their skills is still necessary.

Even Little Merry stared at Luffy with her big, bright eyes full of anticipation.

"Since everyone wants to get stronger, let's train together!"

It's time for the [One Piece Training Program] to start.

"Let's start with Zoro and Sanji!"

If Luffy claps his hands, he might be able to find the feeling of Conqueror's Haki enveloping Shiki's move while fighting.

Chapter 253 Heading to the Sabaody Archipelago

If the teacher isn't supportive, then the students have no choice but to work hard on their own!

Just like with certain things, if the object doesn't move, you can only take the initiative.

However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

When Nami came out of the surveying room in the afternoon, ready to ask what they were having for dinner, she found several people lying haphazardly on the deck.

What's wrong with them?

Nami looked at Zoro, Sanji, and the others who were lying on the ground, their chests still rising and falling, with Usopp and Chopper lying next to them.

Luffy is doing arm curls with a giant dumbbell, looking completely innocent.

"So you just lay down during practice."

"I forced them to do the same physical training as me, and then they couldn't take it anymore."

He made a sarcastic remark, implying that this year's cohort of participants wasn't up to par.

"You think everyone is like you, you monster!"

Usopp used the last of his strength to protest, his arms still trembling uncontrollably, "Hundreds of push-ups in half an hour? And those weighted squats? Is that even possible for a human?"

Chopper nodded with teary eyes. He was a reindeer, after all, and he felt like his legs weren't even his own anymore.

Zoro and Sanji were too exhausted to speak; they could only express their shared indignation through their eyes.

They even suspected that Luffy had been doing extra training!

After physical training, there is also resistance training, which is ostensibly to practice observation and armor defense. Do you think you can just take Luffy's punches like that?

Not to mention Usopp and Chopper, even Zoro, who prides himself on his tough skin, and Sanji, who specializes in kicking and has a stable lower body, felt like they had lost half their lives.

Luffy put down the dumbbells, whistled, and spread his hands, saying, "You guys were the ones who said we needed to do extra training."

He actually felt that his partners' ideas were somewhat unnecessary.

Encountering an enemy of the Golden Lion's caliber is, in itself, the captain's responsibility.

For him, having fun and going on adventures together is the most important thing.

However, he also understood Zoro and the others' feelings.

To become stronger, one must be able to fight alongside others, rather than merely worrying from the sidelines or clearing out the minions.

He accepted the sentiment.

Nami looked at the group lying on the ground, especially Sanji, and sighed helplessly. She walked over and pinched Luffy's cheek: "Sanji is so tired, who's going to cook dinner?"

Luffy's mouth was distorted from being pulled, and he mumbled incoherently:

"Well, then I'll do it myself and show you my skills."

"Miss Nami, leave it to him."

Sanji was so tired he could only pant, barely managing to raise one hand. "Luffy is already 20% of my level."

"Only 20%?" Luffy retorted, dissatisfied. "At least 50%!"

Nami was skeptical.

On second thought, Luffy has become a decent navigator after studying navigation with her for a while.

Other aspects should be about the same.

At dinner time, the table was filled with food that Luffy had personally cooked.

really.

Although it didn't look as refined as Sanji's, it tasted surprisingly good, was plentiful and filling, and was full of Luffy's boldness.

As everyone ate, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Captain Luffy, the crew almost collapsed after just half a day of his intense training, yet he's been doing this almost every day since the East Blue, sometimes even more intensely. His perseverance and talent are truly something to be envied.

"Luffy, you're a monster," Usopp said sincerely as he munched on his meat.

"Hahaha, of course, because I'm going to be the Pirate King!" Luffy said without any modesty, swallowing his food in large gulps.

Just then, Little Merry excitedly ran in, carrying a news-delivering gull.

Previously, when people saw the paper gull, their first thought might be to give it a treat. But Robin later warned them that Morgans, the editor-in-chief of the World Economic Herald, was a well-informed and vengeful man. If you offended his paper gull, you might really go blind on the vast ocean.

Therefore, the important task of receiving the news-delivering seagulls has now been handed over to the most harmless and seemingly cute and friendly little Merry on the ship.

The mail-delivery gulls also liked her very much, and every time they came, they would flutter their wings and burrow into her embrace.

Nami bought two newspapers.

"I hope this doesn't make the headlines?" Luffy asked listlessly.

Although they defeated a legendary pirate like Shiki, the only regret is that no one witnessed it. Surely the World Government has spies in the sky too, that would be too terrifying.
