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

He glanced at the clock on the bedside table.

Four o'clock in the morning.

"I saw the Going Merry at 4 a.m. again."

Luffy sighed, then skillfully got out of bed, put on his clothes, opened the door, and prepared for his daily training.

This is his daily routine.

It's much better now than when I first went to sea. Back then, I would go to bed at dawn and get up at two o'clock. Everyone would praise me for being in good health.

The corridor was quiet; everyone else was asleep.

Luffy walked silently through the restaurant, grabbed some food and stuffed it into his mouth, but when he passed through the living room, he was surprised to find a small lamp still on.

Under the light, a slender figure sat on the sofa, holding a book in her hands, her legs elegantly crossed, and her long black hair cascading over her shoulders.

From a distance, that figure exudes a unique intellectual beauty.

It's Robin.

Chapter 521 What kind of cultivation is this?

Luffy walked over and asked in surprise, "Robin? You're not still awake?"

Hearing the voice, Robin looked up and saw Luffy, a gentle smile appearing on her lips.

She closed the book in her hands and said softly, "I went to bed very early last night, so I got up early."

Luffy asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you up so early?"

Robin didn't answer, but just gave him a look.

There was a hint of languor, a hint of allure, and a hint of... longing in those eyes?

In an instant, Luffy understood.

He understands it all too well.

He had only seen Robin look at him like that in one situation.

The problem is that Robin isn't a thief, so why is she making that greedy expression that only Nami would make?

Luffy instinctively said, "I still need to train."

A routine training plan can not be completed until late morning.

But Robin had already closed the book and stood up. She walked up to Luffy, now half a head shorter than him, and had to tilt her head slightly to see his eyes.

Robin winked at him playfully, "Fulfilling your partner's needs is also a form of training, you know."

Then he reached out and grabbed Luffy's hand, and without saying a word, they walked into the room.

Luffy was both amused and exasperated.

What kind of cultivation is this?

This is not included in the One Piece training program!

Meanwhile, at the girls' dormitory...

Bonnie, Merry, and Shirahoshi share a room.

The Sunny actually has quite a few rooms, and even the Merry, after being modified, could accommodate a few people, but everyone just slept together in twos and threes.

At this moment, thanks to Merry's power, Shirahoshi's body no longer resembled a mermaid; instead, she looked like an eighteen-year-old girl with long pink hair spread out beside the bed.

Bai Xing opened her eyes groggily, her blue eyes still heavy with sleepiness.

She gently nudged Merry beside her and whispered, "Merry, I need to go to the bathroom."

Merry also had a sleepy look on her face. After sitting up, she yawned, and the two of them walked out of the room hand in hand, groping their way forward in the dimly lit corridor.

The corridors of the Sunny were exceptionally quiet at night. Shirahoshi walked along in a daze, her eyes half-closed, relying entirely on instinct to move forward, completely unaware of where she was.

The two unknowingly walked to the vicinity of Luffy's room.

Shirahoshi suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Merry, did you hear anything?"

At this moment, Merry was unaware of the seriousness of the situation. As a ship spirit, she could sense what was happening on the ship, but she generally wouldn't actively seek to know, since even partners need privacy.

I was still half asleep when I woke up, and then I glanced at it and realized, oh, it's Luffy's room. Oh well, it's alright then.

Something's wrong!

She subconsciously sensed the situation in the room.

Then I saw it.

Merry's eyes widened instantly, her cheeks turned bright red at a visible speed, and her sleepiness vanished without a trace, making her fully awake.

She stammered, "N-no, it's nothing! Shirahoshi, let's go back quickly!"

He grabbed Bai Xing's hand and dragged her away from there.

Before Bai Xing could react, she was pulled so hard she stumbled and almost fell. "Hey? Merry? What's wrong?"

"Go, go, go!"

Merry's face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and her voice trembled slightly.

Robin is one thing, but why is Nami here too?!

The sounds from Luffy's room seemed to pause for a moment, as if the person inside had also noticed the commotion outside.

But soon the sound rang out again, and it was even more... audacious than before.

Merry grabbed Shirahoshi and fled the corridor as if they were escaping.

When the two returned to their room, Merry's face was still red. She buried her head in the blankets and covered her head with the pillow, as if trying to banish everything she had just experienced from her mind.

Bai Xing sat beside her, looking at her blankly. "Merry, what did you see?"

There's nothing there!

Merry's voice came from under the pillow.

Bonnie was awakened by the noise of the two of them. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. She looked at Merry, who was curled up in the blanket, and then at Shirahoshi, who looked blank. She shook her head in confusion.

"What are those two doing in the middle of the night?"

She mumbled something, then lay down and went back to sleep.

By the time Luffy came out of the room, the sun was already high in the sky. It was rare for him to have spent a few days in the New World with calm seas. Before, there had been storms and snow, and it felt like a place no human could stay.

"The sun is shining brightly."

Luffy couldn't help but sigh.

Never before has the sunshine tasted so delicious.

The Sunny was sailing smoothly, and everyone was doing their own thing. It would be too boring not to lift weights at a time like this.

Zoro then saw Luffy running over excitedly.

"Hey, Luffy! I've invented a new move, want to try it out!"

Zoro fought Katakuri last time, and it was a very enjoyable battle. He gained a lot from it, and his goal is to defeat the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk.

Katakuri is not a pure swordsman, so there isn't much to learn from him.

However, Zoro made a promise to Luffy that he absolutely could not lose to Hawkeye again when they reached him once more.

On the ship, Zoro is second only to Luffy in his training fanaticism. He still has bandages wrapped around his hand, indicating that he had trained alone this morning.

"Oh? You've invented another new move? Let me see! Speaking of which, I've also invented a new sword technique, so don't be too slow to catch it." Luffy knew Zoro was about to recite poetry again. This training maniac Zoro comes up with a new move almost every few days.

Some moves are indeed incredibly powerful, but others... well, the recitation of the poem is longer than the actual combat.

The two walked to the center of the deck, and the others consciously stepped aside. Just kidding, if these two guys were to spar, the aftershocks could send ordinary people flying.

Luffy never refuses Zoro's challenge. Given Zoro's current level, there are few on the ship who can give him a good sparring match.

Sanji is one, but if the two of them try it out, they might just end up fighting. In that case, it won't be a friendly spar, but a real, hard fight.

Kuzan is a formidable fighter, but the former admiral has absolutely no interest in it and is currently sleeping on a beach chair with an eye mask on.

Zoro drew his three swords, took a deep breath, and assumed his signature starting stance to warm up.

They started reciting poetry.

"Nine mountains and eight seas form one world; gathering a thousand worlds creates a smaller world; this world multiplied by three, without interruption, is the ultimate secret of the Three-Sword Style—One Great Three Thousand Great World!"

Luffy also drew his black sword, Demonic Intent, and wrapped it with Armament Haki, waiting for Zoro to make his move.

As soon as Zoro finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

The next second, the three swords slashed out simultaneously, transforming into countless beams of light that surged toward Lu Fei like a tidal wave.

"Nothing has changed. It's still the same old move."

Luffy roared, unleashing a sweeping attack of his black sword, its dark red Conqueror's Haki crackling wildly on the blade.

With a single slash, it completely enveloped Zoro's countless sword lights.

"Warm-up? Do you even know what a warm-up is?" In response, Zoro's sword was also crackled with blue and red lightning.

Ding ding ding ding!

The dense clanging of metal rang out like a torrential downpour as the two engaged in a fierce sword duel in the center of the deck. The flashes of their blades intertwined, and each collision erupted with dazzling sparks and ear-piercing metallic clangs.

Zoro's swordsmanship has indeed improved rapidly.

Heaven favors those who work hard, and it's even more extraordinary when that person is also talented. Someone more talented than you is also working harder than you. Doesn't that make you panic?

Many people see Zoro as a talented individual, but he is actually quite flustered, after all, he is facing Luffy, the captain who can turn the world upside down.

Since entering the new world, I have faced some pretty good enemies, which has been quite enjoyable. I always learn a lot of useful things from fighting strong opponents, and my swordsmanship has reached a new level.

But Luffy's progress is faster.

Not only his swordsmanship, but also his Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and the dual abilities of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Nika Fruit, his overall strength far surpasses that of ordinary Yonko.
