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

Habits are a terrible thing.

Luffy got up, left his room, and went to the deck.

Life is like this... since you can't fight it, you might as well just enjoy it.

Luffy has gradually gotten used to Garp's pressure.

This sound is like Garp's fist. When facing his grandfather, Luffy can still put up a little resistance with his mouth, but he can't resist this sound at all.

Squatting on the toilet is the least of your worries.

Even if Luffy were shameless, he wouldn't dare to easily try the kind of socially devastating punishment it entails.

He didn't want his friends to call him "Splatoon" or "N times a day" in the future.

The moonlight barely illuminated the deck, and the sea breeze carried a chill.

Luffy stood in the center of the deck, gripping the barbell tightly with both hands.

This is the simplest form of physical training; he had already experienced it with Garp long ago.

"Nine hundred and ninety-seven...nine hundred and ninety-eight..."

"That's enough, I really want to fight."

Luffy thought this physical training was too boring. What kind of pirate king spends all his time training on the ship?

They all rose to prominence through battles against pirates and the navy.

Luffy remembered that he was in the East Blue.

Garp often picks his nose and says that the East Blue is the weakest sea. Luffy has indeed felt this since he set sail. He hasn't seen many pirates, let alone marines.

There isn't a single one who can fight!

The moon squinted slightly, realizing it was almost time to get off work.

Squeak.

The hatch leading to the deck was pushed open.

Zoro yawned, stretched his muscles as usual, and prepared to begin his unwavering morning exercise.

This is a habit I've had since I was a child.

In terms of talent, he may not be as talented as many others, but in terms of hard work, no one is more dedicated than him...

However, the next moment, his movements froze, and his chin seemed to lose its support, almost hitting the deck.

"Hey Luffy, when did you get up?"

Zoro immediately came to his senses.

......

"12:30," Luffy replied, panting.

"30 AM?"

Zoro's eyes widened, his pupils dilating.

Let alone 12:30 AM, has Luffy ever seen the Going Merry at 4:00 AM?

He clearly remembered when he fell asleep; the clock at the stern had just struck twelve.

In other words, Luffy got up almost in the middle of the night, shortly after he lay down...?!

Luffy's unusual training yesterday could be understood as a sudden whim, but this second day is definitely not normal!

Luffy, who was barely able to be dragged out of bed by Nami just two days ago, is now sweating profusely as he lifts a barbell that looks unusually heavy.

"Are you alright? Did you play some kind of betting game with Usopp again?" Zoro asked suspiciously.

"What kind of stereotype is that?!" Luffy gave him a deadpan look.

"So you really are possessed by a ghost or spirit."

"Have you ever seen ghosts or gods before? Then don't say you've seen ghosts or gods!" Luffy said, sounding a little unsure of himself.

That voice really wouldn't be wrong to call it a ghost or a deity.

But would they believe me if I told them?

Even if you believe it, what can you do?

It's better not to say anything.

"But can you even manage like this?"

Zoro looked Luffy up and down.

With two bright dark circles under his eyes, his face was pale with a weak, sallow hue, and his body was trembling slightly, looking as if he might collapse and die at any moment.

He looked even more pathetic than after a major battle.

Zoro was genuinely worried that he might die in front of him someday.

If it were the old Luffy, faced with such an insulting question, he would definitely have stuck his neck out and pouted so hard he could hang an oil bottle on his lips, saying:

"I'm a rubber man, Zoro, you're not up to par."

The voice was absolutely unreasonable yet defiant.

But now...

"Let me get some sleep first," Luffy said.

"You should have gone to sleep a long time ago." Zoro said speechlessly.

Then I saw Luffy close his eyes and start snoring.

She fell asleep really fast!

Zoro was about to take the barbell from Luffy when Luffy, who had just been asleep, suddenly came back to life, full of energy. "Alright, I'm back to normal!"

"...Are you really a rubber man?"

Luffy immediately demonstrated his rubber maneuverability, stretching his arms incredibly long. He proudly declared, "I can do it anywhere! Want to see?"

"No need, no need." Zoro had absolutely no liking for this kind of gifted guy.

"Haha, don't be so downcast. Even though you'll never be as good as me, I'm still the captain!"

Luffy chuckled mischievously and patted Zoro on the shoulder.

That bitch.

"You bastard..." Zoro resisted the urge to draw his sword and slash him.

Taking a step back, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"Hey Luffy, isn't this kind of training boring?" Zoro knew Luffy's personality well.

Although I don't know why he's even more frivolous than me, I can tell from Luffy's expression that he's in agony.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Luffy's eyes lit up.

"How about we spar to train?" Zoro grinned.

"Huh? If I punch you, will you punch me back?"

“No, you punch me once, I’ll punch you ten times,” Zoro said.

"Zoro, do you think I'm an idiot? Do I look like an idiot?" Luffy retorted.

Even if he's a rubber man, you can't fight like that. Zoro's punches hurt a lot.

[Hint: Zoro's suggestion has greatly improved your skills. There's not enough time left for morning training. Proceed to the next step: accept Roronoa Zoro's invitation. Countdown: 3 minutes.]

A death knell-like countdown was buzzing in my head.

"Zoro, come on!"

Luffy felt lucky to be a rubber man, otherwise he would have been tortured to death by that pendant.

Even he knew it was a stupid thing to do!

"you sure?"

Zoro looked Luffy up and down with some suspicion, remembering his earlier teasing.

He is very confident in his fists.

"How about this, I won't take advantage of you. If you can hold out until morning, I'll cover your housekeeping for a month!"

The boys' personal hygiene is the most troublesome thing. Before Nami joined the crew, Luffy and Zoro were floating on a small boat and didn't even want to take a bath.

However, since Nami arrived, she's been very strict about hygiene.

Even Luffy wouldn't want to be stared at by Nami with that look of disdain.

He won't get excited!

Chapter 6 Encounter with the Navy, Headquarters Lieutenant Commander?

"bring it on!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Hurry up and attack!"

"So tough?"

Zoro rolled up his sleeves, a wicked smile spreading across his face. "If you can't hold on, remember to speak up."

......

With a bang.

Luffy punched Zoro in the stomach, took a deep breath, and put on a mocking expression: "Zoro, is it because you didn't have breakfast? You're so weak."

A snap, followed by a series of snaps.
