Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Luffy looked down and saw that the pendant tattoo had appeared on his chest at some point, seemingly merging with his body.

The only way to break free from this strange punishment is gone.

Does this mean we'll be controlled from now on?

impossible!

[Warning, proceed to the next item immediately. Punishment countdown begins...]

Luffy shuddered. Wasn't it supposed to be a random punishment? Why is it fixed now?

He immediately ran to find Zoro.

"Zoro, save me!"

Luffy ran onto the deck, where a green-haired man with earlobes was lifting weights.

"What kind of trouble are you causing now?"

Zoro looked at Luffy warily. "Don't disturb my training. Go play with Usopp."

But Luffy, without saying a word, snatched Zoro's barbell and began training.

There was no time to speak.

Zoro was stunned for a while before he reacted.

Is our captain alright?

Luffy always manages to pull off some crazy moves that leave Zoro covered in wounds; this is truly the first time I've seen something like this.

Is Luffy the type of person who trains diligently?

Do not make jokes.

Zoro looked completely bewildered, his brows furrowed.

Luffy often has a kind of innocent foolishness in his eyes.

Zoro labeled Luffy as unreliable the first time they met.

But he's mentally sound most of the time, especially when it comes to combat.

Is this... a sudden realization?

Luffy's body has an innate sense of self-awareness; he can lift the barbell skillfully after picking it up, all thanks to the special training he received from a certain devilish grandfather.

As for the current situation...

He could only console himself.

"These are all things one has to go through to become the Pirate King."

"Anyway, I'm bored. I've always done it this way before. I'll just treat it as Zoro keeping me company to pass the time."

Luffy thought about it again.

This is only the first day, so it might be a little strict. The plan might become more relaxed later on.

He grinned, in a very good mood, and turned to Zoro to chat, "Hahaha, why are you looking at me like that? Let's train together..."

[Warning: No other topics allowed during cultivation! Punishment countdown: ten, nine...]

You can't even speak?!

No.

Luffy then experimented and found that discussing training with Zoro would not trigger the punishment.

As a training fanatic, Zoro has his own unique insights.

Do the right thing at the right time: practice swordsmanship, arm training, and strength building. When it comes to food, he and Luffy have a lot in common; just eat as much as possible.

Once the topic of food came up, Luffy couldn't stop talking about it, chatting away with Zoro about what was delicious.

This wasn't considered part of the cultivation process by the pendant, and it almost made him ejaculate on the spot.

That was a scene of social death.

He has no choice but to be serious!

"Is there anything wrong with it?"

Zoro has almost never seen Luffy so serious, only vaguely during battles.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, as neither the captain nor the crew had anything to do while sailing.

That's how pirates are.

Most of the time, the navigator leads the way, and only when they encounter pirates or the navy do combatants like Zoro step in.

Zoro assumed Luffy was just bored.

......

Luffy is almost paralyzed.

If one day is like this, and it continues like this in the future, is there any point in continuing to live like this?

What kind of adventure does he crave?

"I'm so hungry."

"When can we eat?"

It was finally noon when Luffy lay on the deck groaning in pain.

"Ate."

"You've already eaten? Why didn't you call me?!"

Luffy's eyes widened, startled by Zoro's words.

Are we not even able to guarantee three meals a day now?

"I'm not hungry."

Zoro, swinging a heavy barbell, turned around and said, "Nami came to call you earlier, but you ignored her."

Luffy jumped up from the deck and rushed towards the restaurant.

He was under both psychological and physical pressure.

Because it's lunchtime!

The countdown timer next to him felt like a death knell, and for the first time, Luffy realized that being forced to eat was a painful experience.

Chapter 3 was merely the captain's mission.

In the restaurant.

"Isn't the most urgent thing to do to find a chef?"

Usopp looked at the table full of leftover fish and couldn't help but complain.

We can't just waste so many fish like this, and the most gluttonous fish didn't even come today.

"You have a problem with that?"

Nami's smiling face was quite intimidating; she used that expression to solidify her position as the ship's emperor... Of course, navigators generally hold a very important position on a ship.

Otherwise, if one person is in a bad mood or depressed, they could drag the whole ship down with them.

Therefore, in many cases, the captain of a pirate crew is also the navigator, especially those pirates who do not trust their subordinates.

"If you have any complaints, then cook for yourselves. Let's see what you eat."

She's a navigator, not a cook!

"The problem is that even Luffy won't eat it... Also, Nami, is something wrong? You seem distracted," Usopp asked, somewhat observantly.

next second.

The sound of running footsteps rang out.

It's Luffy!

As if it hadn't eaten for a week, the fish that Usopp said even Luffy wouldn't eat was swallowed up by the giant maw of the abyss.

Not enough, still not enough.

Is there anything else?

Luffy, panting heavily, looked at Nami with bloodshot eyes.

[Warning: It's time to learn about navigation from Nami. Please proceed to Nami's room in one minute... Countdown: 59, 58.]

Luffy clenched his fist.

Do you only have one minute to eat at home?

But there was no time for him to complain.

"Yes, there is, but I need to draw a nautical chart later, so you can have Usopp do it for you..." Nami wasn't just making excuses.

The next second, Luffy grabbed her hand and led her into the room, saying, "I'm full. Nami, I want to study with you!"

Usopp stared at the two figures from behind with a suspicious look.

Is there that kind of relationship between Luffy and Nami?

He kindly offered a reminder.

"Hey, it's still daytime!"

At least close the door.

......

"You want me to teach you navigation?"

Nami was panting and her heart was pounding as Luffy dragged her along. Halfway there, she was still wondering what he was planning to do by bringing her into his room.
