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

She clutched her stomach, her face radiating an almost sacred maternal glow.

"I can't be bothered with you."

Hancock said, turning and walking into her chambers, "I'm going to go and properly strengthen the bond between my child and Lord Luffy."

As she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something, stopped, turned back to look at Grandma Newt, and gave her a sly smile.

"Oh right, Xia Qi mentioned before that you have to do a handstand? Hehehe, I don't believe I won't get pregnant in a year!"

After saying that, she closed the door and locked it from the inside.

The corridor was deathly silent.

Grandma Niu stood there, dumbfounded.

Upside down?

Pregnant?

A year?

A few seconds later, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Xia Qi, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Peony!"

The roar echoed throughout the entire palace.

Xia Qi was prepared and had already slipped away in a blur before Granny Niu could pounce on her.

Only the faint smell of her cigarette and a soft laugh lingering in the air remained in the corridor.

"It's so good to be young!"

After leaving Hancock's palace, Luffy breathed a long sigh of relief.

He ran to the garden outside the palace, leaned against a big tree, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It wasn't from being tired, it was from being nervous.

The gentle breaths and soft pleading of the world's most beautiful woman by his side for several days were enough to melt his bones.

Hancock is even more powerful than Nami.

No, at least Nami is still shy, and she will occasionally push him away.

Hancock was completely open, not only taking the initiative but also encouraging him in various ways, and even making suggestions that made him blush and his heart race.

For example, you could use the abilities of the Nika Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and then add some Haki.

Just thinking about it made Luffy's legs feel weak.

Are these forces capable of being used in this area?

This is truly eye-opening!

That's why they say the best way to deepen the bond between a man and a woman is through sex.

In the past few days, his relationship with Hancock has been progressing at an unprecedented pace.

From initial awkwardness and shyness, to now being completely open and familiar with each other's every reaction and every sensitive spot.

Luffy shook his head, trying to banish those alluring images from his mind.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

He has important things to do.

"So, Captain, you're still here."

Suddenly, a faint voice came from above.

Luffy was startled. When he looked up, he saw Perona floating in mid-air, holding a rag doll that had been sewn up from somewhere, looking at him with a resentful expression.

When did she arrive?

Suddenly remembering something, Luffy narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand in an instant, and pulled Perona down from mid-air.

"Wow!"

Perona screamed and fell into Luffy's arms.

"I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it,"

Luffy stared at her, his eyes dangerous. "You've been the one tipping off Nami and the others, haven't you?"

Perona froze, then immediately looked up at the sky, pretending to study the shapes of the clouds.

"I'm doing this all for your own good!"

Perona's voice betrayed her guilt, "How can I, as the captain, let my crew worry? I'm just helping you maintain team cohesion!"

How did you become so eloquent?

I really should give it a try.

"Now I'm worried about you."

Luffy gritted his teeth, grabbed Perona, and headed towards the training ground. "Since everyone is training hard, you should train hard too."

"Hey, what kind of effort is this?!"

Perona struggled, but Luffy's hands were like iron clamps, and she couldn't break free at all.

She hadn't even dared to approach Hancock's bedroom these past few days, because the sounds coming from inside were too embarrassing.

That kind of effort is hardly worth mentioning.

It's simply.....

Does Luffy mean that I should work hard like him too?

Perona blushed.

Luffy said righteously, "You don't understand."

Perona blushed: "You don't understand. Do you think I'm a child? Don't forget I'm older than you."

She might not understand at first, but after hearing that kind of sound repeatedly for several days, and with that kind of noise continuing, how could she not understand?

She looked like she was terrified that Luffy would drag her into that kind of effort.

Luffy's efforts are certainly the important thing.

Recently, he has been working hard to develop his Devil Fruit abilities, and he has a lot of expertise in this area.

He discovered that the abilities of Devil Fruits were like an untapped treasure trove, with countless possibilities to be explored.

"On the other hand,"

Luffy suddenly remembered something and looked at Perona, "Have you really seriously developed your abilities?"

In his view, Perona's abilities were, to some extent, invincible.

The Spirit-Spirit Fruit can generate spirit ghosts during battle. As long as the ghost passes through the enemy's body, it can put the enemy into a negative state and make them lose their will to fight.

Luffy had previously experimented with this, and after being passed through by a ghost, his strength was reduced by at least 30%.

This is only if his willpower is strong enough.

If it were an ordinary person, they would immediately enter a passive state and would have no way to fight back in a short period of time.

Moreover, ghosts are spiritual entities, and no physical attack is effective against them.

Of course, if the opponent knows how to use domineering energy, it is still possible to hit them.

Perona panicked when asked that question.

You can doubt anything, but you absolutely cannot doubt her development of Devil Fruits!

"Of course I have the ability to develop it well,"

Perona shouted, "If it weren't for you, you would have all been wiped out on Thriller Bark! My ghost is very powerful!"

"That's not necessarily true,"

Luffy instinctively replied, "If we're talking about negativity, we also have Usopp."

Perona: "......"

Is it that one with the long nose?

Are you kidding me?

She doesn't believe that such negative people exist in the world.

"Anyway, let's train hard together." Luffy held onto Perona tightly.

His hands were wrapped around Perona like rubber ropes, and she couldn't break free at all.

That hand technique is amazing!

Perona puffed out her cheeks, secretly determined to tattle on Nami and the others.

Since it's already been exposed, there's even less psychological burden.

Since you dare treat me like this, don't blame me for exaggerating.

A mischievous smile appeared on her face.

"Are you planning to do something bad?" Luffy looked her over suspiciously.

"Ok?"

Perona was taken aback. "You could even tell that?"

"Hey, do you think I learned all that from you for nothing?"

Luffy looked very proud.

"My psychological research level is quite high. Just by looking at your expression, I can roughly know what you are thinking."

He's no longer the most easy-going member of the Straw Hat crew.

This nearly year-long One Piece training program, besides physical fitness, Haki, and Devil Fruit abilities,

Just by looking at Perona's expression, you can roughly tell what she's thinking.

It's all thanks to her.
