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

He gently wiped the blade, his eyes fixed on it as if he were looking at a lover.

"Oh, is this the new sword?" Luffy curiously leaned closer and reached out to touch it.

"Hey, who gave you permission to touch that?"

Zoro immediately moved his sword away nervously, looking wary, and said:

You didn't even wash your hands!

Chapter 58 Come to my room tonight

Luffy pursed his lips, then stretched out his hand and waded through the seawater several times. His ability was simply to make things convenient.

Zoro has no excuse now.

After giving countless instructions, he handed Xuezi to Luffy, looking as if he was afraid Xuezi would leave his sight.

"A fine sword." Luffy may or may not have a talent for swordsmanship, but he certainly has a fondness for swords.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. His fingers turned pitch black, and an invisible wave spread out. The pitch-black Armament Haki briefly covered and enveloped Yukari's blade, adding a heavy and oppressive feeling to the already sharp sword.

"Holy shit." Zoro cursed, his eyes widening instantly.

"Haha, it really can be done!" Luffy said, looking at the snow-covered snow in his hand.

"Hey Luffy, is it really possible to do this just by learning Armament Haki?" Zoro stared intently at the blade covered in Armament Haki, his envy almost overflowing.

"It's just a simple application of Armament Haki."

"Really?"

Luffy withdrew his hand, his Armament Haki fading, and he raised an eyebrow at Zoro.

Zoro instantly understood. Although his facial muscles twitched slightly, he resolutely stood up. "Come on!"

When Nami and Merry came out after taking a bath, they saw Zoro in the moonlight, standing in a horse stance, gritting his teeth, with veins bulging on his forehead, while Luffy was pounding his stomach with his fists covered in Armament Haki.

"You really aren't lying to me?" Zoro's forehead veins bulged, and he grimaced.

"That's how I learned it!" Luffy said confidently, "This is my experience. If you don't believe me, go find someone else."

Zoro was skeptical, but feeling the burning pain on his body and the subtle feeling of being tempered, he finally gritted his teeth.

Nami: "..."

She couldn't believe that Luffy didn't harbor any selfish motives, like wanting revenge for being beaten up by Zoro back then.

Oh well, they're both idiots anyway.

After it was over, Zoro lay dead on the deck.

Come to my room tonight.

Having just finished showering, Nami's face was flushed, and her gaze darted around as she spoke, not daring to look at Luffy at all.

"Huh? Why?"

Luffy even suspected that Nami was drunk, inviting him to her room during her sleeping hours. We don't have any cats on our ship, otherwise we could have explained that the cat had learned to do backflips and asked if he wanted to come and see.

"Idiot, it's because Merry wants to sleep with you!"

Nami's face flushed instantly, both embarrassed and angry. She jumped up and locked Luffy's neck with her arm, while her other hand dug into his head forcefully: "What are you thinking? You don't think I'm going to sleep with you, do you? How come you've become like that lecherous cook?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Luffy screamed in agony.

Zoro, standing nearby, rubbed his stomach and didn't know how to complain.

Is this some kind of fun that newlyweds have with their child?

They've already slept for days and are still playing this kind of game.

To put it bluntly, there aren't any beds for Luffy in the boys' dorms anymore.

Zoro paused for a moment.

He sighed, "Be mindful of the impact, and don't set a bad example for Merry."

It turned out that the family of three didn't seem to hear it at all.

Girls' room.

Luffy feels just like he's back in his own room when he returns here.

He was startled.

On the other hand, it seems that since the Going Merry came along, he's been sleeping on the floor in Nami's room even more often.

Nami is considerate, though she doesn't say it, she does it. Everyone probably knows Luffy's time management; to be precise, how could he possibly sleep at this hour?

It's just that Luffy is here as a sleeping companion, and only for eye candy.

Forced into a focused state of developing his Devil Fruit abilities, Luffy reduced his perception of the outside world to a minimum, gesturing at the air, sometimes stretching out his arms and wrapping them with Haki, sometimes steam rising from his body, immersed in the use and combination of Gear Second and Gear Third, without any distractions.

After completing a certain stage of thinking, he let out a long sigh, stood up from his desk, stretched out his arms and legs, and his bones made a series of crisp sounds.

[Warning, it's time to wash up...]

Luffy frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.

After washing up, it's time to sleep. This plan even compresses his mealtime to one minute, and gives him five minutes to take a shower.

It's like a Celestial Dragon holding a gun behind a slave's back, saying, "I'll set you free."

Isn't that pure nonsense?

Oh well, what's done is done.

Who cares about the raging flood behind us!

"There are so many animals: dragons, tigers, snakes, apes..."

Moreover, Luffy has never seen many of these animals before, and simply imagining them is a waste of brain cells.

However, this is a step in the right direction.

Luffy then realized that the room was quiet and cozy.

Nami leaned against the bed, reading the nautical logbook under the warm light. Beside her, little Merry was already asleep, breathing evenly, clutching her little hammer in her arms, a sweet smile on her lips.

Nami looked up, and Luffy happened to see this.

Who wouldn't be confused by this scene?

A husband after a hard day's work, a wife taking care of the children, and a sleeping child—a typical scene of an old married couple.

Luffy has never seen such a scene before.

A father who has disappeared without a trace, a mother who has not been heard from, a grandfather who likes to catch pirates, and an empty house... Luffy is alone most of the time.

That's why he was so excited when Uta came.

That's why he longed to become a pirate.

That's why he was so envious of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Because partners are like family.

People feel empty when they have no goals. But Luffy has been fulfilled since setting his goal, no matter what the process was like.

Looking at the scene before me now, my heart seems to be filled with something else.

As Nami read, her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, pretending to continue reading.

She asked, "Is it done?"

"Ah, um."

Luffy was momentarily speechless.

"Go take a shower and go to bed quickly." Nami's face flushed slightly, and she closed the book, pretending not to care.

Luffy went to the bathroom in a daze and found that his change of clothes had already been prepared.

He didn't have much time to wash up, but when he came out, Nami had already closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep.

There was a spot left on the bed next to Nami, which looked like it was left on purpose.

It's a good thing that we don't have to sleep on the floor anymore.

【warn......】

There was no time for Luffy to think further; he quickly lay down on the bed. From one o'clock in the morning until now, it had been another fulfilling day.

So, does it really care about the time I spend being so stingy?!

A new day begins.

[Checking today's schedule.......]

It's time for bedtime, 24:00-6:00.

[Fruit development 2/10. Current fruit development status detected. Fruit development scene will be broadcast, which can be counted as time recovery.]

Luffy: "......"

I knew you had ulterior motives.

Chapter 59 Luffy's Relieved Smile

Is it really possible for him to fall asleep at a time like this?

Nami, too nervous to sleep, peeked open her eyes a crack, breathing heavily. She felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and she could even hear it pounding.

There have been similar incidents before, such as Luffy falling asleep in three seconds and then staying in her room, only to be caught by Nojiko. Although she explained a lot afterward, it was like trying to hide something obvious, and no amount of explanation could explain why Luffy would hug her leg and kiss her.

Nochiko even took a lot of things from the doctor before leaving and stuffed them into her arms.
