Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Bang!

A dull thud followed, and the punch landed squarely on As's face, sending him flying several meters away.

? ?

Feeling the tingling and pain on his face, As was completely dazed.

no?!

How did a fist suddenly appear?

"Rubber, rubber..."

"Battle Axe!"

He had only been lying there for less than two seconds when he heard that familiar voice. As's expression froze, and he immediately rolled to the side.

The very next second after he rolled away, a wooden flip-flop landed where his face had been, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Yass's face turned green. After rolling around a few more times, he immediately stood up and looked at Luffy with an unfriendly expression, saying:

"Luffy! Always aiming for people's faces when you attack isn't a good habit!"

Luffy glanced at him, stuck his right pinky finger into his nostril, and said while picking his nose:

"And then what? What can you do to me?"

His speech was copied from Kyle, and his movements were copied from Garp.

The combination of the two creates a truly sarcastic tone!

(╬▔盘▔)╯! !

A fierce rage blazed in Yas's eyes. Today, he was determined to teach this brat a lesson and show him how to respect his seniors!

With a powerful push off the ground, he shot forward and delivered a whip kick right in front of Luffy.

! !

Luffy's expression changed, and he immediately leaned back, falling face-first to the ground like a crab.

Only because Luffy ate the Gum-Gum Fruit could he make this strange move so easily.

Immediately afterwards, Luffy braced himself on the ground with both hands and kicked his two feet toward As.

Upon seeing this, Yass immediately crossed his arms in front of him to take Luffy's attack head-on.

He was kicked back two steps, and after regaining his balance, he immediately lunged forward again, throwing a punch at Luffy...

After an unknown amount of time, two heavy breathing sounds echoed across the field.

Luffy and As both stared intently at each other, their chests heaving.

The people from the surrounding elite training camp stopped making a fuss and instead stared intently at the two people on the field, or more precisely, at Luffy.

They mocked Yass because they thought Luffy was just a six-year-old kid and couldn't possibly have any strength.

But after Luffy's battle with As, they realized that Luffy was a bit overpowered.

Even if they were to go up against them, they wouldn't gain much advantage.

At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds: who would win in the end?

Judging from the strength they just displayed, they are almost evenly matched, and either one could win.

It all depends on who can seize the opportunity!

On the field, Yass took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and stared intently at Luffy, as if the only person left in the world was Luffy, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

He cannot afford to lose, at least not today!

Luffy, on the other hand, rolled his eyes a few times, as if he was thinking of a solution.

He also realized that As's strength was similar to his own, and that defeating him would not be an easy task.

At this point, we'll need to come up with some unconventional tactics!

Suddenly, Luffy seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his lips.

I've got it!

Luffy suddenly shot forward, shouting:

"Rubber rubber...whip!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yass's muscles reacted, and he instinctively jumped up.

but--

A fist slammed into his chest without warning.

Bang! !

A dull thud was heard, and Aston was instantly sent flying with a muffled groan.

He slammed heavily to the ground, the pain in his chest fueling his rage. He propped himself up, glared at Luffy, and shouted:

"Luffy, have you no shame? You said you'd use a whip but you threw a punch?"

"I was just shouting nonsense! Is there a problem?"

"Who says you have to shout something to use that move?"

Luffy glanced at him indifferently, then suddenly shouted again:

"Rubber pistol!!"

Hearing the shout, As was startled, wondering if it was just another random shout.

But sometimes the body moves faster than the brain; before he can even react, his body has already dodged to the side.

Then I felt a sharp pain in my waist and was flung away.

This time it's the whip!

Also, it was definitely just random shouting!

After taking those two blows, As was completely at a disadvantage.

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

Luffy shouted and charged towards As in an instant, followed by a series of dull thuds and occasional cries of pain.

After a long while, As, who was almost unable to resist, lay on the ground, slightly raised his hand, and spoke in a weak voice:

"I...I give up!!"

I'm tired. Let's destroy it!

Let him be nailed to the pillar of shame then. It's not that he doesn't want to win, it's just that Luffy is a bit too strong, and most importantly, he's cunning!

He didn't lose unjustly!

Even so, he couldn't help but ask Luffy:

"You brat, if you have that kind of strength, why do you resort to such despicable methods?"

"Hey! Don't you dare say anything out of line, or I'll beat you up!"

Luffy glared and pretended to swing his fist.

"What do you mean by underhanded tactics? Can't you speak properly?!"

"What I called tactical interference at most is your own fault for being distracted during the battle, not mine?"

Luffy spoke calmly.

As Kyle once said, all's fair in war. It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!

After a short while, Luffy immediately jumped up from the ground, looking excited.

"Hehe! I'll go back and tell Ace and the others later that I defeated the Marines in the elite training camp!"

"Even if they come back and defeat these people later, I'll be the first to win!"

As he spoke, Luffy's smile widened.

Now he wants to compete with Ace and the others in everything he does in life.

For example, who eats more, who eats faster, who urinates farther...

He compared almost everything that could be compared.

But the problem is that apart from these, he has never been number one in any other aspect of combat!

This is the first time!

The problem is that they didn't think of this and didn't come to the elite training camp to challenge someone.

The more Luffy thought about it, the happier he became. He immediately ran towards the outside of the training ground, eager to see Ace and the others and show off to them.

On the other hand, Yass still looked helpless, turned over, and changed his position from lying down to being on his stomach.

Hearing what Luffy had just said, his mind started to race.

He knew Luffy, and naturally he also knew Ace and Sabo.

He also knew that Luffy had always been the weakest of the four brothers.

Now that Luffy has told Ace and the others about defeating him, there's a high chance that Ace and the others will also come to challenge them.

In that case...

Yas looked around at the others, especially at the few who had laughed at him the loudest earlier.

He had already been put on the pillar of shame, so he felt it was necessary for his good brother to enjoy the same treatment as him.

After all, they are good brothers who share both good times and bad, right?

Yes! That's right, you can try it!
