One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 11 The team is formed, the target is the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
"That's all. Just rest for two days and you can move normally again."

After returning home, Luo quickly treated Gray's injuries and let him lie on the bed to rest. Then he turned to look at Rhodes and couldn't help but speak.

"I'm surprised you didn't get yourself badly bruised this time."

After he gradually mastered the power of the Operation Fruit, Rod would appear at his door every once in a while, carried by Neru, dying. Relying on the presence of a doctor, he would unscrupulously exploit his body, and he hated such behavior.

Of course, thanks to Rod, his ability with the surgery fruit developed very quickly.

"Hahaha, you should understand, Luo."

Rhodes laughed and patted his chest.

"I am very strong now. It is not easy to put me in that state again!"

When he was young, even though Rod had the golden finger of "Sit-ups", he only trained himself moderately. According to the training method of "Turtle School" in his memory, he took a few people to plow the fields, deliver goods, climb mountains, and swim (Rodeo rowed a boat), working and training himself at the same time.

He also adheres to the purpose of [Turtle School] - exercise well, study well, have fun well, eat well, and rest well!
Make sure to take at least half an hour lunch break every day!
However, as his training progressed, with the help of [Sit-ups], Rhodes' physical fitness improved rapidly and soon reached a bottleneck period. Conventional exercise could no longer make him feel oppressive. Even if he used the heaviest weight, the effect on his body was still minimal.

At this time, after training, Luo's fruit ability has been developed to a more advanced level.

So, Rhodes began all kinds of suicidal practices, and pushed his body to the limit several times. When he was about to collapse, Luo would rescue him.

With Luo's medical skills and the dual protection of [Sit-ups], his physical condition improved rapidly.

Until now...
"At least for me, there is no way to push myself to the limit."

"unless···"

As he spoke, Rhodes hooked his arm around Luo's shoulder, a hint of anticipation flashing across his face.

"You use your—"

"Absolutely impossible!"

He broke free from Rhodes's stranglehold and rejected it outright.

"I will never attack you, no matter what the reason is!"

"That's so corny, Luo!"

Rhodes laughed loudly, but when he saw Luo's serious look, his smile faded slightly and then his expression became serious.

"Now, we have all been trained to a considerable extent. Even Pei Jin and Xia Qi are already very good. So, it's time to raise our flag on the sea!"

"Just good, Boss Rhodes..."

Pei Jin and Xia Qi were crying beside each other.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Luo's expression also became serious, and there was a cold light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"Before that, there is one thing I need to tell you. Please think carefully before making a decision."

Luo lowered his head slightly, and under the shadow of his hat, his eyes looked even gloomier, and he seemed to be falling into darkness.

"I have a goal. After going out to sea, I must end things with him, and he will definitely pay attention to me soon."

In Luo's mind, scenes from the past emerged one by one, and he recalled his childhood experiences.

I thought of the outbreak of platinum-lead disease in the white town, where friends and family around me died one by one;

Thinking of his lucky escape, he joined Don Quixote's family and wanted to destroy the world;
I thought about how I was thrown out again and again by Mr. Corazon;
I thought of Mr. Corazon taking me everywhere to look for doctors, and getting angry at the attitudes of the doctors and nurses; I thought of Mr. Corazon stuffing the surgical fruit that he had snatched with great difficulty into his mouth, and then he fell in a pool of blood;

I thought of the smile that Mr. Corazon showed me at the end, and the word "love" he said to me;
Also, Mr. Corazon was shot and killed by Doflamingo!

"That man is one of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea, Donquixote Doflamingo!"

Luo lowered his head, his eyes drooping, controlling himself not to look into Rhodes and Neilu's eyes. He clasped his hands together, his fingers unconsciously clenched tightly.

"If you go out to sea with me, it means that you are bound to encounter one of the monsters that dominate the sea."

Luo pursed his lips, more words stuck in his throat, but he didn't want to say any more.

"Shichibukai - Donquixote Doflamingo!"

Hearing the name from Luo's mouth, Nia was slightly stunned. She had also been traveling on the sea for several years. How could she not have heard of the title of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, let alone this great pirate from the North Sea.

Thinking of this, Nia unconsciously turned her head to look at Bellamy who was thrown aside by her. The yellow-haired boy woke up once in the middle, but was knocked unconscious by Rhodes again.

"What an idiot!"

Rhodes suddenly laughed and nudged Naylu with his arm.

"You read more books. Is this guy's personality called tsundere?"

"Yes, but generally speaking, this is a feminine character setting in stories."

Nelu suppressed his laughter and spoke seriously.

"I'm going to kill you two bastards!"

Luo's defense was broken in a second, and his face flushed slightly.

"More like it!" X2
After a quarrel, Rhodes held Luo's shoulder with a serious look.

"Do you think Neru and I know nothing? You really underestimate us! There have been rumors circulating in the underground world about the extremely expensive surgery fruit back then, and the Don Quixote family that once ran rampant in the North Sea and still has a great influence today!"

"We are just waiting, waiting for you to say it yourself. And we have already thought about it. If you dare to leave without explaining, we will definitely beat you up!"

"As your captain, I have to shoulder your dreams and expectations! In return, you must help me conquer this sea!"

"You really know how to talk, Rod!"

A relieved smile appeared on Luo's face, and the haze in his eyes seemed to have been dispelled.

"Since we have decided to go out to sea, how can we be timid! They are just the Shichibukai, they are our target to be eliminated!"

"Well, I look forward to your guidance from now on, Captain Rhodes!"

"Captain Rod!" X4
Rhodes turned to look at Nia and invited her again.

"So, after hearing the title of Shichibukai, do you still dare to board my ship?"

"What a poor way of provoking someone."

Rolling her eyes at Rhodes, Nia lifted her hair and then held his hand.

"Then I'll put my life and property on your shoulders, Captain Rhodes!"
