Pirate: I am King Luffy

After a few rounds of fighting, Luffy rode on the gorilla's chest with an infuriating expression: "Oh, are you out of strength again? You are so pitiful, a useless gorilla..."

Luffy patted his arms. Those arms, which couldn't even bulge muscles, were filled with incredible explosive power, and this power made him happy.

After beating up his animal friend, Luffy began to share fruit with it.

Uta sat next to Luffy, and the three of them formed a triangle.

It was difficult for the little girl to understand why Luffy beat up his animal friend and then shared food with it.

When the fruit was finished, the gorilla climbed up the tree as expected.

Then the earth shook and the Hog Rider charged at Luffy.

"Luffy, hide!"

Uta was frightened by the wild boar. He jumped up from the ground and pulled Luffy to escape.

But Luffy just stood there motionless, "Iron block!"

Then Uta watched Luffy being thrown out and falling into the deep sea.

"Luffy!!!"

"one two Three……"

"Come out, my strongest stand, marine hero!"

Luffy counted down silently in his heart, but no man as strong as a bear came to pull him out of the sea.

What about Cap?

How can I be a Cap as big as me?

Luffy couldn't hold his breath anymore and blew out a string of bubbles.

A girl with red and white hair fell into the water and pulled him out.

"Cough cough cough..."

Luffy lay on a rock and spit out water, unable to believe that his Stand power had disappeared.

"As a coastal person, you can't swim?"

Uta twisted the corner of his clothes and looked at Luffy, who he had rescued, with great surprise.

Swimming is just like eating and drinking, it is a normal and routine skill.

Only children living in large inland cities may not do so.

But Luffy doesn't look like that kind of child at all.

"I can't swim if I eat fruit, so I'm hesitant about whether to learn this skill."

Luffy said as he laid down in the sun.

"What does eating fruit have to do with swimming?"

"One more thing: If I don't have a lovely big sister to teach me, I will never learn to swim in my life."

Luffy added.

Swimming is a good skill for getting close to girls in the future, so you can’t learn it now.

Chapter 5: Does Luffy Want to Become King?

"It's really hard to understand your train of thought."

Wuta looked at the country boy with disdain, then looked at the water stains on the ground, "It's all your fault. My clothes are wet."

The two returned to the tavern, dripping wet, where Shanks and a group of pirates were already having fun and drinking.

"Luffy, Uta, did you fall into the water?"

Shanks smiled as he looked at their clothes.

"Luffy fell into the water, and this guy couldn't even swim. It was Uta who saved him!"

Uta said, rolling her eyes.

"I'm going to take a shower!" Uta gritted her teeth.

"Shanks, come teach me swordsmanship!"

Luffy picked up a broom from the corner of the tavern and looked at the sword on Shanks' waist with stars in his eyes.

"You promised me yesterday!"

"Is that true? Okay then." Shanks gestured in the air twice with a pair of chopsticks.

"Come on, I will teach you swordsmanship in actual combat."

Luffy gathered his strength and attacked Shanks, but the wooden stick in his hand collided with the chopsticks in the opponent's hand and he could no longer move forward.

Shanks was playing with Luffy like an adult teasing a child.

The pirates watching the excitement shouted for Luffy, "Hurry up and cut him in the middle!"

"Come on, Luffy!"

"It was almost there, it hit Shanks!"

They cheered for Luffy enthusiastically, not caring about the image of their own captain.

"Shanks, is this really teaching swordsmanship?"

Luffy was a little skeptical.

After struggling for a while, he was completely exhausted.

"What does Luffy think swordsmanship is?"

"With just a casual swing, the sword energy can travel hundreds of meters and cut through everything!"

Luffy got excited when he recalled the grand scene of Hawkeye cutting the glacier.

To protect the beautiful two-dimensional world, you need this kind of power!

"You're wrong. Swordsmanship is just a skill to defeat others." Shanks said with a smile.

Then he took the chopsticks that he had used to fight with Luffy and gestured in the air, "Like this, like this, and like this again..."

Shanks drew a horizontal stroke, then a vertical stroke, and then swung diagonally.

"That's the thing about swordsmanship, Luffy. I've given it all to you."

"That's it?"

"That's it." Shanks spread his hands.

What else, things like All Things Breathe, cutting iron...

nothing.

At least you have to give me a resounding line, right?

Luffy suspected that Shanks was fooling him because of his young age.

The famous pirates generally won't make things difficult for children, but it's hard to say whether they will teach the children seriously.

Even his grandfather, Karp, is the same.

Luffy wanted to train to become stronger, so he begged his grandfather to teach him some cool techniques, so Garp taught him the Iron Block, and proudly said that this was a technique that could make one stronger by simply getting hit...

Luffy was injured by the wild boar with half belief and half doubt until now.

Perhaps seeing Luffy's distrustful look, Shanks rubbed his hair and said, "All the moves are very simple. The rest is just a matter of strength and application."

"Luffy needs to exercise more."

"Then...are there any moves that can produce cool power without training?"

Luffy thought so too. Without a body, everything would be useless. It would be better for him to focus on laying the basics.

But Luffy thought of the power of Haki again.

Shanks is said to be a master of Haki, especially Conqueror's Haki.

I have to find a way to get him to teach me!

"That's true... Luffy might have this talent."

Shanks said, thinking about the power of that guy Garp.

"Heroism is a potential power that all human beings possess. This power is an innate ability, just like "momentum" and "deterrence", it exists like an instinct; however, most people cannot realize this power, or they will never be able to bring it out in their lifetime.

Among them, Conqueror's Haki is the "Haki" of the chosen person that only one person among millions of people has, that is, the "king's qualifications" that stand above others. Unlike the previous two, "Conqueror's Haki" can be controlled freely, but it cannot be strengthened by training. It can only be strengthened by the user's own growth... It is precisely because of this particularity that the outbreak of Conqueror's Haki is very random. Even young children may burst out with this power when they are emotionally excited..."

Shanks recalled his understanding of Haki and said to Luffy.

"I want to learn this, Shanks teach me!"

Luffy said immediately.

Of course he is sure that he has this power, he is Luffy!

"Ah, I don't know how to practice this power. Maybe Luffy will learn it by himself if he gets excited."

Shanks spread his hands, unable to teach.

"This is the power of the heart, will, and emotions. The only shortcut is to have an outburst through strong emotional stimulation. The probability of this happening is higher after experiencing the pain of losing something important..."

"Does Luffy want to be king?"

he said jokingly.

"If becoming a king can bring happiness and freedom, then it's only natural!"

Luffy gave a thumbs up.

He was also thinking about the conditions for unleashing the domineering will.

As long as one has this talent, Conqueror's Haki is the easiest power to master. Doflamingo is just a child, but he has burst out with this power. This power can even be used as a passive skill and released unconsciously.

And most of the demands from children are...life-threatening and extremely emotional?

It’s a bit similar to the Eye Clan in Eye Legend.

Luffy thought seriously about what extremely strong emotions he had.

Theoretically, he already had the ability to unleash the power of Conqueror's Haki, the only thing that hadn't been mobilized was his emotions.

A child can explode with just a little emotion, so he should be able to explode easily too.

After all, Ace had used this power to save Luffy when he was a child.

Being life-threatening is not a necessary condition, but intense emotions are.

urgent!

It's like a cornered dog jumping over a wall. If you get desperate, you can subconsciously use this power...

Come and try it, you are Luffy!

Luffy closed his eyes and pondered, gathering his emotions.

Uta had taken a bath and changed into new clothes.

She walked in from outside, dressed like a princess. She confidently tossed her hair back to let the fragrance spread, and then she found that everyone was sitting around Luffy.

Luffy was holding his eyes closed, thinking about something.

Um~

Uta tiptoed over curiously, not daring to disrupt the atmosphere.

What are you doing?

puff~

Luffy suddenly opened his eyes and released the fart that he had been holding in for too long.

"Hahahahaha..."
