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

The World Government is truly wary of his sinful bloodline as the Pirate King.

Luffy's bounty is an unprecedented 3.5 billion Berries!

"Kuralala!"

Whitebeard laughed as he held up his bounty poster.

His photo is a demonized half-body portrait, and the bounty has been slightly increased, but the increase is not significant and seems more like a symbolic adjustment.

"Straw Hat's bounty is almost catching up with mine. The new era is really coming on strong."

Whitebeard chuckled, glancing at Jinbe: "Jinbe, what are your plans now? The title of Shichibukai is gone, and King Neptune should be able to stabilize the situation on Fishman Island for the time being."

Even if Jinbe isn't one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Whitebeard Pirates' flag still flies over Fishman Island, so nothing serious is likely to happen in the short term.

All eyes were on this former Shichibukai.

Jinbe has been stripped of his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and has returned to being a pirate.

But it still doesn't belong to anyone; that's a powerful force.

Shanks had already offered to recruit him, but Jinbe refused.

Jinbe, holding Luffy's bounty poster, said solemnly, "I would like to go find Mr. Luffy first and thank him in person."

Jinbe is a very serious person.

Upon hearing this, Shanks burst into laughter:

"Hahaha! It seems you've been completely won over by Luffy too, Jinbe! That kid's charm is truly unique."

Jinbe nodded solemnly.

Like his father and Mr. Ace, Luffy is the third person who has won him over.

That kind of charisma and charm made him yearn for it.

That's how it is among pirates; those with unique charisma always attract a steady stream of powerful followers.

Whitebeard looked at Jinbe with admiration in his eyes.

He knew that Jinbe was a man of great loyalty and principle, so it was no easy feat to get him to say such a thing.

"Kuralala, since that's the case, let's go."

Whitebeard reached into his pocket and took out a small Vivre Card.

It was a piece of paper made from a part of his body, and no matter how far apart they were, it would always point in his direction.

He tore off about a quarter of it and handed it to Jinbe.

"Take this and give it to Straw Hat Boy when you see him. I owe him a drink, so when he comes to the New World, we must have a good drink! I want to see if this brat with two legendary Devil Fruits has improved his drinking capacity!" Whitebeard laughed loudly.

The captain and crew members around who heard this all showed expressions of surprise.

Dad's Life Card!

Not everyone is qualified to receive that.

In the New World, having Whitebeard's Vivre Card is almost equivalent to having a talisman and a pass.

Shanks smiled and took out his Vivre Card from the lining of his coat, tearing off a portion as well: "Jinbe, take this with you too."

We didn't have enough time back then, so we didn't have a proper chat.

"Jinbe, this is Luffy's Vivre Card."

Ace handed Luffy's Vivre Card to Jinbe, saying, "I'm such a bad older brother, I've really caused him a lot of trouble."

Sending your younger brother to rescue him was truly shameful.

But more than anything, I feel relieved!

We all have our own journeys to take, so let's meet again in the new world.

.....

a few days later.

Calm zone, near Amazon Lily.

A small boat slowly approached the shore and stopped beside a deserted island with lush vegetation.

Luffy was the first to jump off the ship, stepping onto the soft sand.

This island is quite large, with complex terrain, including forests, hills, and waterfalls, making it an ideal place for spiritual practice.

"This is it."

Rayleigh also disembarked. "You said before that you wanted to practice the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and get familiar with Haki. This is a good place for that."

The golden lion looked around and nodded in satisfaction: "A good place, suitable for recuperating."

"Lord Luffy, Amazon Lily is in that direction, it takes half an hour by boat. If you need anything, you can come anytime."

Hancock pointed to the sea in the distance.

She originally wanted Luffy to live on Amazon Lily, but Rayleigh and Shiki did everything they could to stop her.

I knew I shouldn't have brought those two stinky men along!

Beside him, Perona, who was floating next to Luffy, looked like she had been drained dry.

During this time, Luffy would suck her dry; anyone would be drained of their life force.

She's not the type to be very studious!

She has some experience in scaring people, but not much. If she insists on developing it into a discipline, Perona is already spewing ghosts from her mouth.

In terms of admiration, Perona now admires Hancock.

Because she is in the morning, and Hancock is in the afternoon.

She's still studying, and Hancock looks radiant these past few days, even more beautiful than before.

Perona even suspected that her course was different from Hancock's!

Why does Hancock look so pampered?

Judging from the outcome, Perona conceded.

Through diligent practice, your (mental) level has improved, gaining +3 proficiency.

【go through.....】

For Luffy, training and learning have become a habit.

After such a battle, returning to this routine of daily training brings a strange sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including nostalgia or reflection).

When Rayleigh and Shiki on the ship first saw Luffy pulling Perona to the deck and then pulling Hancock to her room, they simply remarked how wonderful it is to be young.

But when they actually saw Luffy studying, the two old men couldn't hold back anymore.

Especially in the mornings and afternoons, Luffy would even begin to forge the giant golden stone monument on the Going Merry at night.

Golden Lion wondered where this kid got so much energy.

But that was just the beginning!

After such intense training for a day, it would be quite an achievement for a normal person to maintain the same intensity the next day. However, at 1 a.m. the next day, the Golden Lion heard a series of striking sounds coming from the deck.

The old man floated out to look in disbelief, only to see Luffy's shadow in the moonlight.

This kid is really weird!

He never trained this hard when he was young, so it's truly unbelievable that he was defeated by someone like this.

There's no way around it; it just becomes a habit.

For almost a year, Luffy has been undergoing this kind of intense training.

And the main threat is still that kind of threat!

That is something that can cause physical damage and social death.

Luffy only ever fought back once, when no one was around, through Robin, and Robin isn't here right now.

He is, after all, known as the Fifth Emperor... Have some shame and show the majesty of the Sea Emperor!

Not only can psychology help us understand others' thoughts, but it is also quite beneficial for us to multitask.

Luffy has become even more adept at multitasking.

This allowed him to make good progress in developing the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's abilities, which he had been focusing on for most of his time.

at last,

[Fruit Development (Tremor-Tremor Fruit) 1/10]

[You gain the ability, Tremor Body]

The ability to vibrate is a state that Luffy has been imagining.

During the Impel Down war, Luffy discovered that seawater is an absolute threat to Devil Fruit users.

Many Devil Fruit users have developed various abilities to deal with the threats of the sea. As a Fish-Man, Jinbe moves freely in the sea, posing a threat comparable to the Four Emperors!

However, Luffy saw how Whitebeard used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, simply and directly shaking away the seawater.

What if we apply it further to the body?

If a layer of vibration waves is constantly covering the surface of the body, isolating the seawater from the body, would it be possible to move freely in the ocean for a short period of time?

"In that case, the seawater and seastone that Devil Fruit users fear the most have been broken... Just like Aokiji, his Ice-Ice Fruit, in a sense, is to cover his body with a layer of ice to isolate him from the seawater."

Luffy can't wait any longer.

He's going to give it a try!

If you can shake seawater apart, then you can shake apart anything, right?

This includes ice, magma, and light.

This is similar to Armament Haki, but it's more like a more comprehensive form of Armament Haki.

"Hey, Luffy, what are you doing?!"

Perona had just regained some energy and looked up when she saw Luffy walking towards the sea.
