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

The two fought faster and faster, and the fight became more and more intense.

They fired from the deck into the air, from the air into the sea, and then from the sea back onto the deck.

With a snap.

Just as the two were about to unleash their ultimate clash, Nami emerged from the girls' dormitory.

Then she looked up at the sky, and the sky had collapsed.

To be precise, the clouds in the sky were cracked open by the aftershock of the two men's attack.

The opening stretched from east to west, as if someone had slashed the sky with an invisible giant knife.

Nami's face instantly turned ashen, a huge tic appeared on her forehead, and she felt like the sky had fallen.

"You can't use Conqueror's Haki!"

Nami's shark mouth reappeared, startling Jinbe once again. "H-Conqueror's Haki?!"

Aren't there too many Conqueror's Haki designs on the ship now?

The main thing is that Luffy and Zoro, who were in the middle of a fierce battle, both shrank back when they heard this.

"We didn't use Conqueror's Haki!" Luffy retorted.

"Why did the cloud split open?!"

Nami pointed to the sky.

“That’s sword pressure, pure sword pressure! You wouldn’t understand if you weren’t a swordsman,” Zoro said confidently.

Luffy nodded repeatedly from the side, "That's right, that's right."

This is outrageous!

Do you think I'm blind? This is such an obvious Conqueror's Haki.

Nami has seen her share of big battles; she's witnessed countless fights between Luffy and the Four Emperors.

Before she could even react, Luffy and Zoro started arguing on their own.

"Your slash was at the wrong angle just now. If you had slashed diagonally upwards, the power would have increased by at least 30%!" Luffy gestured as he spoke.

"fart!"

Zoro retorted without hesitation, "The essence of the Three-Sword Style is to attack from three directions simultaneously, thus dispersing the enemy's defense! A diagonal slash from bottom to top? That's your One-Sword Style, not suitable for me!"

"Who says you can't use a diagonal slash with a three-sword style? You can just adjust the angle of your third sword, can't you?"

"You make it sound so easy! Once the balance of the three swords is broken, the power of the entire technique will decrease! What do you know about the three-sword style when you're just a one-sword style user?"

"I'm a great swordsman too! I have the right to speak on this!"

The two argued more and more intensely, their faces almost touching.

Luffy put on a cheeky expression and said, "How about this, you try it the way I tell you, and if the power doesn't increase, I'll admit you're right."

Zoro was so angry at his expression that he gritted his teeth, his hand already unconsciously resting on the hilt of his sword. "What kind of expression is that? Are you looking for a fight?"

How could someone be so despicable!

They were fighting side by side just a moment ago, but now they're acting like they deserve a beating.

Zoro wished he could just swat him with his sword and let him experience the power of the Three-Sword Style.

"Come on! Let's try again! Let's see who's right!"

"Let's try! Who's afraid of who!"

As they talked, the two were about to start fighting again.

Before Nami could stop it, the explosion had already begun.

Boom!

Although he didn't use Conqueror's Haki this time, the commotion was even greater than before.

Luffy's black sword clashed with Zoro's three swords, and the pure sword pressure created a visible shockwave that spread outwards from the two of them.

The shockwave created a huge depression in the sea, displacing the surrounding seawater and forming a circular basin several hundred meters in diameter. Fortunately, Franky reacted quickly and used a blast to break it up; otherwise, he would have been sucked in.

The Sunny rocked and swayed in the aftershocks, and the people on board quickly grabbed whatever was around them to steady themselves.

Nami covered her face, speechless at the thought of those two.

However, the crew members on board were already used to it.

"They've started again."

Shirahoshi rested her chin on her hands, leaning on the ship's railing as she watched the two fighting in the distance. "These moves look way too dangerous."

Perona floated in mid-air, legs crossed, holding a cup of ice cream in her hand, scooping it out with a small spoon.

She has now fully adapted to life with the Straw Hat Pirates, and her Ghost Queen demeanor has toned down considerably, turning her into an ordinary girl who enjoys sweets.

“You haven’t seen anything far more dangerous yet,” Perona said, licking her spoon.

She recalled the scene when Luffy tested the Vibration Ball on the high seas during their training near Amazon Lily.

The entire sea surface was blasted into a huge hole, the power of which was many times stronger than this slash. The Navy's secret SWORD unit happened to be in that area, and as a result, they were thrown into chaos and almost wiped out.

Carrot leaned closer curiously, clearly very interested in it.

Shirahoshi also wanted to know.

"You wouldn't know this, would you?"

Perona puffed out her full chest, quite confident in it. Compared to Shirahoshi and Carrot, she was considered a senior on this ship.

She was basically by Luffy's side when he was on Amazon Lily.

He's a veteran.

He can compose all sorts of short stories on the spot.

Shirahoshi and Carrot were stunned.

"Lord Luffy is amazing!" Shirahoshi's eyes sparkled.

"It's impressive, but it's too reckless," Reiju said.

Perhaps this is the true spirit of a maritime emperor?

Chapter 522 Hot Spring Island

Reiju leaned against the ship's railing, elegantly taking a sip of her black tea.

Everyone is discussing it.

However, only Shirahoshi, Perona, Carrot, and Reiju are here.

They sat together leisurely, eating and drinking.

The next destination is Guran Tezoro, the legendary entertainment city. Since it's a place like that, I don't need to be as tense as before. I can relax and enjoy myself.

As for the others, they all have their own things to do.

For example, Bonnie was fiddling with something around the giant cyborg body with Franky. Although Franky couldn't restore the giant bear's consciousness, he could at least keep the giant bear's body in optimal condition.

Humans need maintenance, let alone cyborgs.

Chopper was organizing the medicinal herbs he brought back from Zou Island in the infirmary. These were precious herbs accumulated by the Mink Tribe over generations, which would be of great help in making various medicines.

As for the lookout tower?

The Straw Hat Pirates no longer need anyone specifically responsible for security.

If you try to ambush someone, you'd be lucky to get slapped away by a drunken Nika.

During the voyage, they encountered some hotheads who charged in recklessly, shouting, "I'll take the head of one of the Four Emperors!"

Then it was destroyed by an attack from an unknown source.

So everyone was very relaxed.

After Luffy and Zoro finished their sparring match, the two lay sprawled on the deck.

Luffy laughed and said, "See? My suggestion was right, wasn't it?"

A sly smile made Zoro turn his head away in disgust, unwilling to admit it.

However, he knew in his heart that Luffy was right.

He just adjusted the angle of the third sword as Luffy suggested, and the power of that move, Great Thousand Worlds, was indeed increased.

Is this guy not only strong, but also has reached this level of mastery in swordsmanship?

Now he'll have to add Luffy to his list of targets.

That being said, the goals of both sides are not in conflict.

One becomes the Pirate King, the other becomes the world's greatest swordsman; for Luffy, swordsmanship is merely a means of attack.

"Now it's getting boring again."

Luffy sighed and then started rolling around on the deck.

Nami and Robin thwarted his plans in the morning, and he barely managed to cope by using Super Multitasking. As a result, he can no longer quench his thirst by thinking about the development of Devil Fruits.

"If you're bored, go lift weights," Zoro said irritably.

"I've already done it!" Luffy replied matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing this, Robin peeked out and looked over, but realizing they weren't talking about him, he turned his gaze back to the book in front of him.

The fair fingers were slightly curved, and the five fingers were full, as if they had just participated in some activity.

"When will we get there? This is taking too long. But the World Government and the Navy don't seem to have time to deal with us right now. Otherwise, we might be able to see some acquaintances if we go."

While doing push-ups, Luffy suddenly stopped counting to two thousand, and then his rubber arms stretched out to the watchtower.

The distant sea stretched to the horizon, and as the Sunny sailed in that direction, the outline of an island could be vaguely seen.
