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

They said we need to take precautions, otherwise it would be terrible if someone died at sea.

Nami was stunned at first.

What kind of death could this cause? Then, Nojiko pointed mischievously at her stomach and said considerately that after she got pregnant, she could help Nami take care of the baby when they went back to the East Blue.

Nochiko was happy to be the child's godmother.

Now we see Merry.

Nami felt her face getting hot again.

No, I mustn't let my mind wander.

Nami suddenly covered her mouth; it turned out that Merry had just wrapped his arms around her waist.

It's just Merry, not Luffy.

As expected, Luffy, half asleep, turned around and leaned against her, his hand resting on her waist just like Merry's.

Nami's body stiffened instantly. She turned her head to look at Luffy, whose eyes were closed. She was so close that she could feel his breath. A breath from him seemed to soften her entire body.

Nami sleeping in the middle was a deliberate choice. Given how close Merry is to Luffy, who knows where she might end up sleeping?

As a result, I ended up being sandwiched in the middle.

It's like having a screw tied at both ends.

"Is Luffy having a nightmare?"

Nami was momentarily at a loss for what to do with her hands. As she struggled with this, she saw Luffy close his eyes and furrow his brow. It was rare to see him with such an expression. By the time she came to her senses, she had already pressed Luffy's head against her chest.

Am I out of my mind?

Nami suspects that she is being controlled by Luffy, otherwise why would she do such a thing?

But she also had something to say. Seeing Luffy like that, she couldn't help but feel a surge of maternal love.

"Anyway, he doesn't know, and he'll most likely be up and exercising when I wake up."

Just because I didn't see it doesn't mean I didn't know!

Besides, everyone makes unconscious moves when they're asleep. Luffy even bit her thigh once, and Nami wanted to take a picture to prove that Luffy was a leg fetishist.

"The me in your dreams isn't the real me. If you have any problems, go find me in your dreams!"

Nami felt a sense of relief; she had indeed found a good excuse.

And there should be some progress by now.

It's been a rare period without Uta, but who knows what other Uta might pop up? Let's avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Anyway, Uta can't catch up with me no matter how fast he goes."

.....

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

Why is he still frowning and looking so worried even when he's asleep?

Because when Luffy saw those words, he really wanted to curse, and in a very vulgar way.

The release of the Devil Fruit development scene can be simply explained as Luffy lacking some necessary conditions to develop his Devil Fruit.

Often, things you haven't seen are hard to imagine.

It's almost like reinventing the wheel.

At this point, the [One Piece Training Program] is quite considerate. You haven't seen them before? Then let you see them all.

Furthermore, considering that merely imagining this matter doesn't carry much weight in the development of Devil Fruits—it doesn't even exceed fifty percent—theory must yield to practice.

And so Luffy saw the scene before him.

He knew he was dreaming.

But the passage of time and the existence of senses are real; various animals are staring at him with bared teeth and ferocious expressions.

The one-punch kill of that unidentified fish that was about ten meters long wouldn't even make the list here.

It's truly a newborn.

Luffy cursed and swore, and their exchange was a classic case of "you have your clever plan, I have my countermeasure."

However, the One Piece training program is the kind of program that's completely unrealistic and prone to being overturned.

Luffy's stingy spending added up to less than an hour in total, but he'll be spending at least a day in there making mistakes!

"What the hell? Who taught you math? How can you calculate like that?"

They say one thing but do another.

This thing is just like the ultimate version of Grandpa.

Although they trained him to the point of exhaustion, their intentions were good.

Luffy can feel himself getting stronger.

Both Observation Haki and Armament Haki are incredibly useful. It's just that he hasn't seen an opponent use them yet.

The smoker named Smoker once said that such power seemed to be controlled only by the strongest in the Grand Line.

Currently, both Observation Haki and Armament Haki are only at level 1, leaving considerable room for improvement.

Let's do it then.

Luffy stared at the enormous creatures before him.

The scene before me was in a vast forest, where snakes thicker than boats coiled around huge trees, flicking their tongues.

The lion, its eyes bloodshot, roared, its face bearing scars that symbolized the glory of battle.

The ape pounding its chest is baring its teeth.

......

What a feast!

"Speaking of which, the taste of food probably doesn't change when you're dreaming, right?"

Luffy muttered to himself.

He swallowed hard. Putting everything else aside, the group of giants in front of him looked like a buffet to him.

Moreover, having learned a little about cooking from Sanji, I know that the flesh of animals that look muscular is actually quite elastic.

Glug.....

My throat involuntarily swallowed my saliva.

"It wouldn't hurt to give it a try..."

Having a goal provides motivation, so Luffy got moving, but there was someone who moved even faster than him.

Despite its enormous size, the giant snake moved with extraordinary speed, quickly reaching Luffy in a winding path.

"So fast."

The scene from earlier flashed through Luffy's mind; he could remember it perfectly and replay it over and over again as if he were refining it.

But Luffy, having had experience, knew that dying in a dream was still a real death, and the pain would still be there. So he instantly activated Gear Second and jumped onto the giant snake's head.

"Rubber, the Fist of Giants!"

The punch landed with just the right amount of force.

Being confused doesn't hurt your brain.

After an unknown amount of time, apart from Luffy who was standing, all the giant creatures were lying dead.

"The snake meat is delicious, it's a pity there's no seasoning, but it would be flavorful enough for grilling..."

There was meat, and there was wood for grilling, but the only thing missing was fire. After racking his brains, Luffy invented a technique called Gum-Gum Fire Fist Gun.

Indeed, one must fulfill oneself.

Just as the meat was being cooked on the grill, Luffy was thinking that the "Pirate King Training Program" did have some humanity, when he heard a huge noise in the distance.

The monsters, who were supposed to be eaten, have been fully revived.

Luffy looked back and saw that the air was burning on the barbecue grill.

He suddenly smiled with relief.

Chapter 60 I'll Dare Again Next Time

What's the point of having you if we can't eat it?

We're not friends.

It's no fun if they can just revive on the spot after you kill them.

Although Luffy himself can do it too.

One thing at a time, being able to look but not eat is torture for him.

Resentment is like a raging flood, never-ending.

I can't do anything about that monstrous plan, but can't I at least teach you a lesson?

Unlike before, they weren't laughing and joking anymore. Their faces were cold and menacing. The moment Luffy turned his head, the giant monsters that had been baring their teeth instantly regained their senses and didn't even dare to show their teeth.

[The person who appeared in this dream is a real person who possesses natural emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and fear.]

In other words, are we able to communicate?

[Animal Language Experience +3]

This can open up a path?

You might even gain a passive talent.

Luffy spent most of his childhood interacting with various animals, so it's fair to say he has a real affinity for them.
