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

Luffy stared at Nika in front of him. "In other words, I am your master. And you want to harm my crewmate?"

Whoosh, he leaped into the air.

Nika's eyes widened as a fist the size of a giant approached from afar.

Boom!

Chapter 69 Are you kidding me?

Screams echoed through the dark dungeon.

eighty.

eighty.

eighty.

"Awoooooo!"

Despite it being his own power, it was now being used against him. Nika was hit repeatedly by Luffy's massive Gear Third fist, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

Since Luffy ate the Nika Devil Fruit, there has been no progress in developing the fruit's abilities over the past ten years. However, Nika was just sleeping normally. When he woke up, he found that Luffy's development of the fruit had reached a level that he could not have imagined.

But from another perspective, Luffy is the master here. Before Luffy's Devil Fruit awakened, Nika had very little power to use, otherwise why would it be locked in a cage?

Compared to Nika, who was suffering, Luffy was fighting with great enthusiasm.

[Nika's approval rating] is still increasing, albeit by a small amount, but it makes Luffy wonder if this guy has some kind of masochistic fetish.

"boom!"

Another heavy punch landed hard on Nika's chin, causing its entire body to arch backward dramatically, its eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.

Luffy stopped his attack and stood still. After a round of blows, white flames, seemingly alive, were faintly wrapped around his body, as if they had been plundered from Nika.

Yes, that's right, those are all mine!

Nika didn't know whether Luffy knew or not that he could plunder the power within him, which might accelerate the awakening of his Devil Fruit.

Judging from the current situation, Nika is not entirely confident that he can control the Straw Hat Boy's consciousness.

Konica didn't expect that Luffy would jump over the fence and step directly on its head, staring at the consciousness in front of her that was supposedly the sun god but was in a sorry state.

"Hey, do you still have that thought now? Do you think I should listen to you and go after Weiwei?"

"Of course..."

Nika shook his dizzy head, trying to muster a bit of ferocity, but seeing Luffy's giant fist, he wisely suppressed the thought. "That's all!"

The sound was very loud, as if afraid Luffy wouldn't hear it.

Each time Nika was hit by Luffy, some kind of primal power drained away, while the white flame cloud around Luffy intensified.

Nika didn't want to be beaten again.

Temporary difficulties are not a disgrace; the ability to bend and stretch is what makes Nika!

Luffy pursed his lips, a hint of regret on his face.

The flames on his fist dissipated, but the faint white aura around him did not completely disappear.

He also discovered that by beating up Nika, this strange white cloud of flame seemed to be stimulated and accumulated, and an unprecedented sense of power filled his whole body, as if every rubber cell in his body was rejoicing.

In a sense, Nika is simply an infuriating energy pack.

"Tell me, what exactly are you? Where did you come from?" Luffy sat down cross-legged.

"what?"

I am nothing.

Nika was about to retort, but looking at Luffy's kind eyes, she said somewhat aggrievedly, "As I said before, I am the will residing within a Devil Fruit!"

"will?"

Seeing that Luffy didn't seem to care much, Nika also felt that this wasn't prestigious enough, and added, "Not all Devil Fruits have a will. Only special Zoan-type Mythical Beasts can possess an ancient will."

"Someone like you? You don't seem very useful, and you don't look very smart." Luffy waved his hand.

"you!"

Nika was momentarily speechless, daring not to retaliate, "Devil Fruit awakening is when the will and the user are in perfect harmony, thus releasing the fruit's deeper power!"

"You are the one I have chosen, the destined warrior of liberation. You should shatter this false peace and liberate this world, just like the Nefit bloodline..."

"Should we have targeted Weiwei?"

Luffy's voice turned cold.

Nika was about to habitually affirm that it was true, but when she suddenly met Luffy's intensely oppressive gaze, she swallowed all her words.

It felt that it was not a god in front of Luffy at this moment, but rather a pet that could be crushed at any time.

That intimidating power, emanating from the depths of its soul, made it tremble.

"No, it's not."

Nika's voice trembled.

Luffy understood at that moment.

Why did Nika's acceptance level increase when he did those things to Vivi before?

However, none of this matters to Luffy; his body is his, and so is his will.

He only acts according to his own will.

Other miscellaneous things can be ignored.

Luffy looked at Nika. Besides, the benefits of beating it up were real.

As Luffy felt the surging power within him and the vibrant white flames around him, he looked at Nika with eyes that seemed to regard him as if he were looking at a glittering mountain of gold.

He didn't care about willpower; in his eyes, it was no different from welfare.

"I know I'll come back again." Luffy stood up.

The fiery clouds around his body quickly moved, transforming into a giant rope that wrapped around Nika's body.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"We'll do an experiment. If you stay here quietly, you'll be fine."

Perhaps because he conducted many experiments, Luffy also grew to enjoy doing experiments more and more.

He realized that this was his own personal space of consciousness.

Soon, the scene before them receded like the tide, and the noisy battle sounds and Nika's suffocating breath vanished instantly.

When his vision cleared again, he saw the warm light in the room and Vivi's sullen face right next to him.

"Luffy!"

The girl's voice was filled with dissatisfaction, like a young wife who had been suddenly abandoned and ignored when she was doing something important.

Merry next to him gave a big smile.

"Luffy, you're back." Merry sensed it.

That's the magic of the ship spirit.

Vivi saw Luffy finally come to his senses, and she couldn't understand how he could fall asleep in that state. Was it because that kind of thing was tiring? The application of medicine at the end was practically like caressing...

"What's wrong?" Luffy found it hard to connect the ruler Nika mentioned with Vivi.

"What else did you say...?"

Weiwei felt apprehensive and uneasy.

A princess who once had no worries about food and clothing resolutely infiltrated a hostile organization to become a secret agent.

There are some things that one would rather endure than die than suffer, but must live to accomplish them.

But the more she realized how terrifying the enemy she was facing was, the more terrified she became. She was already gritting her teeth and forcing herself to go through with it when someone walked up to her and said in a tough tone that she could rely on her partner.

So I let my guard down and wanted to take this opportunity to confide in someone.

As a result, the person she was confiding in closed their eyes and fell asleep at this crucial moment?

Are you kidding me?!

Weiwei was extremely anxious, and tears were almost welling up in her eyes.

Chapter 70 Second Rank, Dimensional Reduction Attack

in the room.

Luffy's Observation Haki is incredibly powerful when it comes to his sensitivity to emotions. For example, the complex emotions in front of him are like a train engine that is blocked from all sides and has no way out, and it may crash into something at any time.

Luffy composed himself, remembered the previous topic, and asked with a more serious expression.

"So... what was it that you were determined to accomplish, even at the cost of your life?"

"Weiwei, what was it that you said you would do even if it meant death? Tell me."

Mentioning this, Weiwei's momentum immediately weakened, and struggle and worry appeared on her face... Normal people would be scared away just by hearing that name.

Over the past two years, she has investigated and found the leader of that organization, who may be the one she suspected.

"I...I'm afraid if I say it, you'll think I'm overestimating myself."

At the crucial moment, Weiwei backed down, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

What she feared even more was that Luffy would hesitate, waver, and then back down when he heard the name.

If I hadn't had any hope in the first place, I wouldn't have this kind of feeling now.
