Zoro felt a little uncomfortable under Kuina's big eyes and turned his head away.

Nami couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Zoro, why is your face red?"

"Who, who's blushing! It's from the sun!" Zoro roared angrily.

Sanji, standing nearby, smugly exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Oh, even green algae-heads blush? I thought your skin was thicker than a knife."

Luffy laughed so hard he almost fell over: "Zoro blushing is so funny! Look, look!"

"Shut up, all of you!" Zoro's forehead veins bulged, and he almost drew his three swords.

Looking at the noisy scene, Guina smiled and shook her head, then continued leading the way forward.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps between the buildings on both sides, casting interlaced light and shadow on the stone pavement.

"The training ground is just ahead," Kuina pointed ahead.

The distant rumbling could already be faintly heard, like muffled thunder, one sound after another, and the ground was shaking slightly.

Luffy's eyes lit up instantly: "Great! I can't wait to cause a ruckus!"

Nami reflexively tapped him on the head: "You better behave!"

The group followed Kuina toward the training ground, the noise of the commercial street behind them gradually being replaced by the roar ahead.

Guina walked at the front, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

Beehive Island is going to be lively today.

At this moment, on the nearest island, Barrett, in his White Tiger Beastman form, was relentlessly smashing Crocodile's Yamata no Orochi.

Each strike of the white tiger's claws kicked up clouds of dust, and the sand and dust spewing from the broken part of the snake's body blotted out the sky.

On another island, Tesoro stood in the very center of the Golden Realm, as lightning and hellfire simultaneously surged towards the Red Earl from three directions.

It moved so fast that only a dark red shadow could be seen flashing between the fire and the lightning.

Hawkeye stood on the high platform near the center, his eyes closed, motionless.

Occasionally, a golden ray or two would spill out from his body; that was the power of the Glint Fruit unconsciously leaking outwards.

The light streaked through the air with a sharp buzzing sound, and a giant rock a dozen meters away was grazed by the aftershock and silently split in two.

On the training field, the ground trembled, and everywhere there was a clash of Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki.

"Wow—that's so cool!!!"

Luffy was the first to jump up, his eyes shining like two small suns.

"How terrifying..." Usopp's legs went weak, and he clung to Franky's shoulder.

Nami instinctively grabbed the Weather Stick, her face as white as paper.

She swallowed hard, pointed at Tesoro who was using three abilities simultaneously, and said in a trembling voice, "Wait, wait..."

"Do all the people on Beehive Island possess Devil Fruit abilities?!"

"You guys have such a huge stockpile of Devil Fruits! If you sold them all..."

Nami's eyes, lost in her fantasy, instantly turned into money symbols.

Guina glanced back at her, her tone relaxed:

"Buying them is out of the question. These top-quality fruits are all carefully cultivated on Beehive Island."

"What do you mean?" Sanji also perked up his ears.

"The joint laboratory on Beehive Island, under the leadership of Dr. Vegapunk, has broken through the technical barriers of Devil Fruit replication and the coexistence of multiple Devil Fruits."

The island's core members now all possess three Devil Fruit powers, making them several times stronger than ordinary Devil Fruit users.

"Three Devil Fruits..." Robin repeated softly, a thoughtful smile playing on her lips.

Chopper was so frightened that he completely transformed back into his reindeer form, clinging to Nami's waist with his four hooves, his eyes brimming with tears.

"I want to go back to the ship..."

Luffy wasn't scared at all.

He slammed his fists together and shouted towards the center of the training field, "Roy—!!!"

The sound echoed across the training ground, instantly drowning out the explosions.

The noise on the training field gradually subsided.

Barrett released Crocodile's tail, and Crocodile sat up from the ground. The sand reformed into human form, and he spat out the blood foam from his mouth.

Tesoro withdrew the Golden Domain, and the Red Earl landed lightly on the edge of the platform.

Hawkeye opened his eyes and looked down at the entrance to the training ground.

Roy stood up from a high platform on the side of the training field.

He was wearing a dark black trench coat and holding a cup of coffee, looking completely out of place among the monsters around him who were frantically cultivating.

"You're here."

Roy's voice was familiar, yet it reached everyone's ears precisely.

"Want to fight?"

Luffy looked up at him, grinning widely:

"Of course! I'll make up for the fighting that wasn't finished in Wano Country today!"

"Perfect."

My officers here have been getting a bit tired of training lately and need a few decent opponents to help them get back on track.

Roy walked down from the platform, his figure flashing several times on the steps, and he was already in the center of the training field.

He looked around at the Straw Hat crew, his gaze lingering on Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji before finally settling on Kuina.

"Those who want to spar can choose their own opponents."

Zoro was the first to step forward.

His three knives were already drawn, their blades gleaming coldly under the training field lights.

"I want to challenge Hawkeye Mihawk."

Hawkeye leaped from the platform and landed without making a sound.

Black Blade Night was slung diagonally into the scabbard on his back. He turned slightly to the side, revealing a sharp eye as keen as a hawk's.

"Yes." Hawkeye's voice was deep and calm.

Sanji spat out the extinguished cigarette butt from his mouth, lit another one, and took a deep drag.

He looked at Tesoro, a smile spreading across his face:

"That guy in the gold suit looks really strong."

I'll go and meet him.

Tezzolo adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, a playful smile on his face:

"Black Leg Sanji? If you can last three moves against me, I'll buy you a drink."

"Then I'll choose the wine myself." Sanji's right foot burst into flames.

Luffy's eyes were already fixed on Bullet.

He pointed at the giant who was more than twice his height, his tone filled with excitement:

"Big guy! Let's fight!"

Barrett stood up from the ruins and shook the sand off his hands.

He looked down at the tiny creature, whose legs weren't even as long as his own, and grinned, revealing a ferocious smile.

"Straw Hat Kid, you have a good eye for picking opponents."

"You look like the best fighter!" Luffy laughed without any fear.

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

Barrett laughed loudly, his voice so powerful it seemed to shake the air around the training ground.

"Alright! I'll give you a good time today!"

Three matches will be played simultaneously.

Without a second's hesitation, Luffy immediately activated Gear Fifth.

His body was surrounded by swirling flames, and his white hair stood on end like flames.

Black and red lightning of overwhelming power spread wildly from him, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack inch by inch.

His laughter echoed across the training field, and his body instantly expanded, transforming into the white Nika form.

"Let's go!"
