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

"Because we're not in a room."

Nami's expression froze subtly for half a second.

"Not in the room?"

"Hmm... somewhere outside."

Nami understood.

She couldn't help but ask, "Approximately how many times?"

Robin thought for a moment, "Not many, maybe seven or eight times. Luffy's talent is still quite good."

Seven or eight times!

Chapter 609 The Straw Hat Crew's Grand Tournament

How long does each session last?

"One or two hours?"

Robin thought for a moment, "Sometimes it takes longer, since Luffy learns very quickly and once he starts teaching, he can't stop."

Nami felt a throbbing in her temples.

Seven or eight times, each time for one or two hours, at night when she was unaware, or rather, when she and Weiwei were sleeping in the next room.

"Sister Robin."

"Ok?"

"Call me next time you teach him."

"Ara,"

Robin covered her mouth and chuckled, "Nami wants to learn too?"

"No."

Nami forced a smile. "I want to watch from the sidelines and see how seriously he's studying."

Luffy felt a chill run down his neck, while Jinbe was still in shock.

Because Luffy's Fishman Karate is very authentic and has been incorporated into the power of the Nika Fruit, even without using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Jinbe is in a tough spot.

Another punch landed, and Jinbe dared not be careless, crossing his arms in front of him to take the blow head-on.

With a loud bang, he was pushed backward a distance, his wooden clogs carving two shallow scratches on the deck.

They were completely overwhelmed.

"Just as I expected."

Luffy was a little excited, using the physical properties of the Gum-Gum Fruit to combine with Fish-Man Karate techniques.

Surprisingly, a good chemical reaction occurred between the two.

The Gum-Gum Fruit granted him superhuman flexibility and resilience, while Fish-Man Karate's power techniques transformed this elasticity into a highly destructive attack method.

When he struck out with his palm, his entire arm lashed out like a stretched whip, then snapped back at the moment of contact, releasing all the accumulated elasticity in an instant.

After Jinbe blocked three times, his arm began to feel slightly numb.

"Luffy, you've combined the power generation techniques of Fish-Man Karate with the properties of the Gum-Gum Fruit?"

Jinbe noticed it.

"Yes, I trained with Rayleigh for a while before. He said that Devil Fruit abilities serve the techniques, and techniques don't have to be used rigidly. Just use whatever feels comfortable."

In terms of teaching ability, Rayleigh is quite skilled.

Jinbe took a deep breath, and his wooden clogs suddenly sank a little, making his aura several times more composed than before.

"I'm going to have to give it my all too. The pressure is getting a bit intense," Jinbe said.

Luffy nodded, and then Jinbe's figure in front of him became blurry in an instant.

Ocean Current - Instantaneous Movement!

This is much faster than shaving, and besides, this isn't the ocean.

He slapped Luffy in the side.

Luffy twisted his waist sharply, turning half of his body ninety degrees like a wrung towel, almost brushing past Jinbe's palm strike.

They really didn't hold back at all.

Jinbe followed up with his second palm strike, this time at an even more tricky angle, targeting Luffy's lower body.

Luffy had to leap into the air to avoid the attack, but Jinbe's palm strike actually hit the deck after missing, making the deck of the Thousand Sunny vibrate.

"Wanli, Wanli, are you alright?"

Luffy looked back in mid-air.

Knowing what Luffy was worried about, the little lion put his hands on his hips, and the cracks on the deck healed again at a speed visible to the naked eye. He even gave Luffy a thumbs up.

Usopp's eyes widened. Is this what makes the ship spirit so powerful?

There's absolutely no need to worry about damage to the hull.

Thanks!

Luffy twisted in mid-air and launched a counterattack the moment his feet touched the ground.

He used the flow and penetration of Fish-Man Karate as a foundation, combined with the projectile properties of his Gum-Gum Fruit, to deliver a straight-line push that exploded from the palm.

Jinbe crossed his arms in front of him.

I almost flew out.

“You’ve already grasped the essence, so I won’t stand on ceremony. It would be arrogant of me to say I’d go easy on Mr. Luffy.” Jinbe, being an honest man, offered his assessment.

"Hahaha, come on, come on." Luffy was also itching to fight, and he certainly wouldn't miss an opportunity to spar.

The two began to fight, exchanging blows.

With each punch and kick, waves were stirred up around them.

This was still a deliberate restraint. If the two of them were allowed to fight freely, who knows what the scene would be like, especially if Jinbe went into the sea, where Jinbe's home turf is.

Vivi created a wind barrier in front of everyone, preventing even the strongest impacts from blowing her away.

Bonney and Perona, who hadn't yet reached the level of Shichibukai, stared wide-eyed. Nothing was more shocking than seeing it in person. Before, when Luffy and Kaido fought, they could only watch from afar and hadn't felt it this deeply.

Now I have a vague reference point in my mind. Luffy seems to be able to fight many Jinbes. So, how many of them can he fight?

Perona thought for a moment, chuckled, and realized that she didn't need many; just sending out three generals—Robin, Vivi, and Nami—would suffice.

If all else fails, Hancock will make a grand finale appearance.

Luffy, clearly not yet satisfied with his fight, flicked his wrist and turned to look at the enthusiastic crowd around him:

"Is anyone else coming? It's rare that everyone's free today!"

Upon hearing this, Zoro was the first to grin and say, "Sure, I'll do it."

Sanji stubbed out his cigarette: "Count me in."

Kuzan leaned against the mast and raised his hand: "I can stretch my muscles too."

Usopp, looking terrified, raised a white flag: "Wait, wait! Wasn't today just to check Bonney and Shirahoshi's training results? How did it suddenly turn into an internal fighting tournament for the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

Several people inside the venue had already gathered together with great interest.

Who goes first?

"Let's decide by rock-paper-scissors," Kuzan suggested.

"good idea!"

For the next few seconds, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Kuzan squatted on the deck and seriously played a round of rock-paper-scissors, leaving the onlookers speechless.

"Why does a Yonko pirate crew have to decide the order of appearance by rock-paper-scissors?" Usopp covered his face.

Nami mercilessly retorted, "Because the captain is an idiot, the first mate is a competitive idiot, the head chef is an idiot with intermittent mental lapses, and the former admiral... well, the former admiral probably just wanted to have fun."

Kuzan raised his fist and looked at his scissors, only to lose to Luffy's rock. He then smiled and stepped aside, saying, "Then let's watch your performance first."

Sanji defeated Zoro, so he stepped forward first.

"Luffy, go easy on me."

Zoro gritted his teeth and sheathed his sword.

"Don't worry, I'll come back and kick you away later," Sanji said irritably.

The duel between Luffy and Sanji lasted less than three minutes.

The two have completely different styles.

Luffy is all-out and relies on strength to win, while Sanji is extremely fast and is known for his skill and tricky angles.

However, Luffy's Observation Haki has now reached an extremely terrifying level. He can predict the trajectory of Sanji's kicks half a beat in advance. As a result, the whole sparring match looks more like Luffy is leisurely parrying Sanji's moves, occasionally retaliating with a couple of palm strikes using Fishman Karate.

Finally, Sanji was pushed back to the ship's side by Luffy's Gum-Gum Flow Palm. He somersaulted and landed steadily, extinguishing the flames on his ankle.

"I'm not playing anymore, it's pointless."

Sanji simply shoved the cigarette back into his mouth.

The difference is obvious to the naked eye.

Luffy grinned and gave him a thumbs up: "You're much faster than before."

"Come on."

Sanji rolled his eyes and walked back into the crowd.

Zoro then entered the fray.

Something sharp seemed to fill the air.
