One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

Luffy and his two companions stared at the enormous shadow reflected on the water's surface, their faces filled with despair.

However, just when Luffy and his two companions were at a loss...

Having already circled the entire island and swam to the back of the group, Ace discovered Luffy and the others, who were being driven to a dead end by the Lord of the Coast.

"Hey! You three, put your heads in the water!"

The moment Ace saw the horrifying scene before him, he leaped out of the river and soared into the sky! He then shouted loudly at Luffy and the others who were constantly fleeing.

"I know, I know!"

Although Luffy and his companions didn't know what Ace meant, they still did as Ace instructed and buried their heads underwater in the river.

"Hey! Big guy, look over here..."

After Luffy and the others dived underwater as Ace had instructed, Ace shouted loudly at the Lord of the Near Sea whose head was above the water.

"Um?!"

Hearing the commotion behind him, the Lord of the Near Sea looked puzzled. He turned his head and looked in Ace's direction...

However, with just that one turn, the Lord of the Near Sea regretted it!

A gigantic fire fist, over ten meters in diameter, hurtled towards its head! The Lord of the Near Sea wanted to run, but it was too late…

"fire punch!!"

Ace let out a furious roar.

The Lord of the Near Sea had his head punched through by Ace on the spot!

The terrifying flames released by Ace's fist did not stop there; instead, they continued to surge forward, crashing all the way to the end of the island!

"So strong!"

At this moment, the three little ones in the river once again emerged from the water. They looked at the Lord of the Near Sea, who had been instantly killed by Ace with a single punch, their eyes filled with shock.

"He's even stronger than I imagined!"

Kuina, who had already experienced Ace's strength back at the Isshin Dojo, muttered to herself as she looked at the endless flames Ace had just unleashed.

Every time Ace revealed his strength, he would give her an unprecedented surprise. She originally thought she had grasped the approximate strength of Ace, but she found that the information she had was just the information that Ace wanted her to know.

"call……"

"It's finally resolved! You scared me half to death..."

Ace looked at the Sea King, who had been roasted by his punch, and laughed, "Haha! I've never eaten Sea King meat before! Today I'm in for a treat!"

"Hey! The last one to get ashore won't get any meat!"

Ace chuckled softly at Luffy and his two companions in the seawater.

"Meat! I want to eat meat..."

Ace's words were like a shot of adrenaline to Luffy, who submerged himself in the water and swam desperately forward.

"Hey! Damn it, wait for me! Luffy..."

Zoro watched Luffy advance, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and he too began to exert all his strength, pushing forward...

"Zoro, wait for me! You'll get lost if you go alone!"

Kuina looked at Zoro, who was starting to rally, and said with a worried expression.

If she didn't keep an eye on Zoro, she was genuinely afraid he'd just keep swimming! Swimming...

So I swam back to Shimotsuki Village...

Meanwhile, inside Char's villa.

Char held a glass of red wine, calmly sipping the fine wine. His Observation Haki had already sensed the death of the Lord of the Near Sea...

"Shanks, I saved your arm's life!"

"Now, when you see Whitebeard again, you won't have to say things like, 'You bet your arm on the New World!' You won't have to be your one-armed king of pride anymore! Sigh, I'm such a kind and good person..."

To be honest, Char is sometimes really moved by his own kindness.

midnight.

When Kuina dragged Zoro ashore, the Lord of the Near Sea had been eaten and only fish bones remained!

"Damn it! Luffy ate all the food!"

Kuina rolled her eyes as she looked at Luffy, who was lying unconscious beneath the skeleton of the Lord of the Coast, his belly protruding. The Lord of the Coast had all gone into Luffy's stomach, meaning they had no food left. Without food, their exhausted bodies couldn't be replenished with enough nutrition and energy! This meant their fatigue wouldn't recover, affecting their training the next day…

"It's all your fault, Zoro! Why did you get lost?"

"Isn't it better now? I was worried I wouldn't have anything to eat..."

Yes, the reason Kuina and Zoro were so late getting ashore was entirely Zoro's fault. Although Kuina's swimming speed in the river couldn't match that of Ace, Hathaway, and Amuro—which was comparable to the swimming speed of an average fish-man in the ocean—her underwater speed was an astonishing thirty meters per second…

But she can swim seven or eight meters per second! That means that at Guina's speed, it would only take her four or five hours to swim 100 kilometers and get back!

However, in order to pull Zoro back from his inexplicable deviation, she had to drift in the sea for more than ten hours. By the time Kuina and Zoro came ashore, they had both far exceeded their training quota for the day.

"This is a nutrient solution personally prepared for you by His Highness Xia..."

Just as Kuina was fretting about Luffy eating all the Lord of the Coast, CP0, who had been waiting for Kuina and Zoro to come ashore, immediately served the two with Char's specially prepared nutritional supplements.

"Forehead……"

Kuina looked at the greenish nutrient solution inside the two transparent bags in front of her, and her expression turned unpleasant. This stuff just doesn't look good...

"Tons, tons, tons..."

Just as Kuina looked at the nutrient solution with a hesitant expression, Zoro had already taken the solution from CP0's hand and began to gulp it down...

Zoro ate with great relish, and only after he had completely drained the nutrient solution from the transparent bag did he wipe his mouth, lie down on the ground, and fall into a deep sleep.

"Huh? Is it really that good?"

Kuina watched Zoro suck the nutrient solution into a jelly-like form, and after a moment of silence, she took the nutrient solution from CP0's hand, just like Zoro, and began to suck it up in large gulps.

"Ugh! It tastes awful..."

After Kuina gulped down the entire bag of nutrient solution, she spat out the nutrient solution that Char had specially made for her. The strange, indescribable taste made her tongue numb, and she spoke with a slight sense of nausea.

"Anyway, Miss Kuina, you have to do your best!"

"You and Zoro have now received the lowest scores in the training camp twice in a row."

"If you get the lowest score again next time, you'll be punished..."

"Please remember the taste of today's nutrient solution..."

"Because if you qualify last again in the next training session, then please remember, today's nutrient solution will be the most delicious thing you'll eat for the next month in the training camp..."

CP0 looked at Kuina in front of him and gave her a warning with a smile.

"what?!"

Guina was stunned when she heard this.

If I make her drink nutritional fluids for the next month, then I might as well kill her...

So the next day.

Today's training session is a 100-kilometer marathon!

Guina, as always, charged forward with boundless energy.

Unfortunately, despite Kuina's best efforts, she, Zoro, and Luffy returned to the training camp with the lowest scores.

"You know..."

When Kuina returned, CP0 immediately greeted her with a smile and served her a cup of Char's specially made nutrient solution.

"Forehead……"

Looking at the nutrient solution in front of her, Guina suddenly felt nauseous.

On the other side, Zoro continued to gulp down the nutrient solution. It seemed that for Zoro, no matter how unpalatable something was, as long as it could help him become stronger, he could accept it!

As for Luffy, although he, like Kuina, kept sticking out his tongue and making a contorted face after drinking the nutrient solution, it was still within his acceptable range...

For Luffy, having something to eat is better than having nothing to eat...

"Damn it!"

As for Guina, she drank the nutrient solution with tears in her eyes.

"Ha ha……"

CP0 simply smiled in response.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye...

In the days that followed, CP0 would lead Char's children, as well as Zoro, Kuina, and Luffy, in continuous basic physical training to help them build a solid foundation, even though this training was far too easy for Ace and the others.

However, the changes in Luffy, Zoro, and Kuina in this month have been astonishing! While Kuina and the others have worked hard, the main reason is the Char's nutrient solution. Among the three, Kuina, who is the tallest, has reached 1.7 meters with the help of the nutrient solution, while Luffy and Zoro have reached about 1.5 meters in height.

As for Char's children, even the shortest one, Laa, is over 1.8 meters tall.

It's clear to the naked eye that Char's children have all grown considerably during the training process...

"Next, I will teach you the essence of the World Government's martial arts, a skill that every expert in the Government and the Navy must master, and it is called—the Six Powers!"
