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

He never imagined that he would have such a day.

As expected of Mr. Long's son.

"With this kind of desensitization training, who would still feel anything for Conqueror's Haki?"

Perona, holding a black lace parasol, floated in mid-air, watching the commotion in the training area with a somewhat subtle expression.

Her negative spirits swayed on her shoulders, each one drooping its head, clearly also quite intimidated by that domineering aura.

Because Luffy trained so hard, even the previously lazy Perona and the others stopped playing around.

He obediently landed back on the deck, put away his parasol, and began practicing controlling the ghost.

Ever since they saw the being named Im on Egghead Island, an indescribable sense of urgency has enveloped the entire ship.

It turns out that even Luffy has to take this enemy so seriously.

Everyone began to cultivate diligently.

Even Shirahoshi is no exception.

"I...I will work hard too!"

Shirahoshi clenched her fist, her voice soft yet exceptionally firm, "I will help Lord Luffy!"

Uta, who was standing next to her, had been holding a deck of cards. Seeing Shirahoshi's expression, she awkwardly stuffed the cards back into her pocket.

She cleared her throat, trying to appear nonchalant.

"Actually, there's no need to be in such a rush..."

“Uta, your cards are showing.” Perona floated over and pointed expressionlessly at Uta’s pocket.

Uta's lips twitched. He silently tucked the half-exposed playing card back in, then took a deep breath and resignedly joined the training group.

"This is so troublesome, so troublesome..."

At the cabin door not far away, Usopp and Chopper sat side by side, with the empty fishing bucket between them.

Usopp turned to look at Chopper.

Chopper turned to look at Usopp.

“I think…” Usopp began with difficulty.

“We should also try our best,” Chopper finished speaking for him.

The two, known as the slackers on the Sunny, exchanged a glance and simultaneously let out a heavy sigh.

Then Usopp pulled out his slingshot pouch from his waist, and Chopper took out a Rumble Ball from his pocket. The two of them walked towards the training area with a tragic gait as if they were heading to their execution.

It doesn't seem quite right for just the two of them to be slacking off here.

Luffy was naturally aware that he had inspired everyone to train together.

The more the better.

I did become a bit lax before.

It's not too late to play around with Im and his gang later.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

Besides Zoro and Aokiji, Hancock and Sanji have also taken up the baton among the Conqueror's Haki users on the ship.

Sanji awakened his Conqueror's Haki not long ago. Although its strength is not as overt as Zoro's and Aokiji's, it has its own unique style in terms of precise control and emotional enhancement.

Hancock's Conqueror's Haki awakened in her childhood, and in terms of purity, it was second to none among those present.

Conqueror's Haki is related to willpower.

Given Hancock's personality of looking down on everyone except Luffy, to be honest, her Conqueror's Haki is quite strong.

"Lord Luffy, please use my power to your heart's content!"

Hancock cupped her hands around her heart, her eyes practically radiating pink hearts, while the Conqueror's Haki emanating from her body simultaneously reached a terrifying intensity.

"Hey, didn't you suddenly become much stronger just now?!"

Zoro, who was taking a break, wiped his sweat while his eye twitched.

"Women in love are terrifying," Aokiji said, lying on the ice with his eyes closed, in a tone that suggested he was used to it.

The continuous clashes of Conqueror's Haki gave Luffy a long-lost sense of fulfillment.

It's back, that feeling is really back.

The One Piece training program stalled after he defeated Kaido and Big Mom's combined forces.

At that time, he felt that his strength was sufficient, and indeed, being able to defeat the combined forces of two Yonko on his own was a feat that could be found in the entire history of the ocean.

Until Im appeared.

The projection, which only carried a portion of his own power, already made him feel a long-lost threat.

That's a completely different level of existence from Kaido and Big Mom.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

The person who sparked the training craze on the entire Sunny has just finished the last round of high-intensity combat training for the day.

Luffy lay sprawled on the deck, his clothes burned with several holes by the heat generated when sweat and Armament Haki clashed together, revealing his well-defined muscles.

His straw hat rolled to one side, and he stared motionlessly at the starry sky above, panting heavily.

Hancock was sneaking around, seemingly up to no good, when Nami and Robin grabbed her from either side and carried her away before she could even leave.

Her protests continued, "Let go! Lord Luffy needs me..."

The sound faded into the distance and was eventually blocked out by the cabin door.

Luffy couldn't help but laugh.

Hancock really does have much more energy than him.

After resting for a while, I climbed up from the deck.

[Warning, it's time for midnight snack...]

The plan has also changed; unexpectedly, there will even be time for late-night snacks.

A late-night snack is a must; you need to eat before you have the energy to cultivate.

Luffy shook the sweat off his hair and headed towards the kitchen.

A warm yellow light was shining in the kitchen.

There aren't many people who follow his lifestyle, but Frye is still there. According to his and Sanji's declaration, no one on the ship should go hungry.

That's because their chef is unqualified.

So Fry made him a late-night snack.

The aroma of roasted meat instantly filled the entire kitchen, the fat sizzling on the surface of the meat, which was then roasted to a perfect brown color.

"The time is right."

Frye laughed, "Mr. Luffy, I'll make up for all the energy you used up today."

Luffy's eyes are already shining.

Yes, yes!

He plopped down at the table, clasped his hands together, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I'm starting to eat!"

The food in front of them was devoured in a flash.

The most important thing for a strong person is to have a stomach that can digest food!

When Luffy was halfway through his meal, the kitchen door was pushed open a crack.

Uta poked half her head in; her hair was a little messy, indicating she had already taken a shower, but she didn't look sleepy at all.

She was wearing a loose white nightgown, barefoot on the wooden kitchen floor, her toes curling slightly from the cool night air.

Chapter 633 Childhood Sweethearts, Finally Become a Couple

"You're still awake?"

Luffy, his mouth full of meat, asked indistinctly.

It must be very late now.

Most of the people on the Sunny had returned to their rooms more than an hour ago, leaving only the kitchen in Frye's area late at night.

"You couldn't sleep, so you came out to check. You're still awake."

Uta walked into the kitchen and closed the door behind her.

She walked barefoot with almost no sound, prompting Luffy to remark, "She's just like Perona, almost like a ghost."

"Perona is floating."

As she spoke, she naturally walked over to Luffy, reached out and took a piece of grilled meat from the tray, stuffing it into her mouth.

The meat at Frye's grill is tender and fragrant, bursting with juice when you bite into it.

It's really delicious, isn't it?

Thinking that she might need to do something physically demanding later, she ate a little more.

However, his gaze was wandering, and he seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Luffy, however, did not notice any of this.

Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care much; they'd likely just think Uta was plotting some prank on them.

They're childhood sweethearts, after all. They've suffered so much persecution together that Luffy is used to it.

Of all things under the heavens and earth, eating is the most important.

In the end, it was simply a matter of having eaten first since things had come to this.
