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

Does this have absolutely nothing to do with becoming the Pirate King? Does it mean that becoming the Pirate King means eventually living in some luxurious castle and being respected and revered as a king?

That's pretty much the same as the pigs that Grandpa used to live in Mary's land.

A fleeting memory of those boars flashed through Luffy's mind. Of course, those boars that his grandfather mentioned from time to time had no aristocratic manners whatsoever, not even basic human etiquette. As Garp would say, just thinking about them was enough to make him physically uncomfortable.

This is torture upon torture.

But the countdown to punishment hung like a Damocles' sword over his head, leaving him no choice but to grit his teeth and face it.

"Aristocratic etiquette?"

Vivi looked at Luffy with a strange expression. "Isn't it about getting stronger?"

"So is it possible that if you do anything to the extreme, that is strength?"

Luffy himself doesn't believe this nonsense.

Although aristocratic etiquette is divided into many aspects, most of it is reflected in clothing and appearance... well, being extremely strict about a certain aspect at least tempers one's mental strength, doesn't it?

"That seems to make sense," Vivi said, automatically filling in the blanks in her mind.

They don't even look at what Luffy learned from Robin before.

I heard it's history.

That's even more abstract.

But the fact is, Luffy is indeed strong. This proves that his method is effective.

Although Vivi was puzzled as to why Luffy suddenly wanted to learn this, she readily agreed. She chose the part she thought might be useful to Luffy—dancing.

Luffy then had something to say.

"Dancing can improve flexibility and balance, which is also helpful in combat," Luffy said.

This is not a hoax.

Having practical combat experience, Luffy understands the importance of body balance, which simply means controlling one's body.

When you train to the extreme in certain areas, your body will exhibit subconscious stress responses.

......

"First, let's talk about flexibility... Luffy, you have a natural advantage in this area. Rubber is truly enviable."

Vivi couldn't help but poke Luffy's leg; she was certainly very good at it. If she hadn't fully mastered aristocratic etiquette, the royal family wouldn't have given her, the princess, so much freedom.

You need to be good enough to gain enough freedom.

This statement applies everywhere.

In other words, if you are strong enough, you are the freest.

"Luffy, your flexibility is unmatched. You can move on to the next step. Boys can also learn to dance. Girls are graceful and charming, while boys are bold and expansive. Both are forms of beauty."

The basic dance steps for solo dancers will now begin.

To Vivi's surprise, Luffy learned extremely quickly.

His rubber-man-like physical coordination and the extraordinary learning ability forced out of him by the training program allowed him to quickly master the basic footwork in a respectable manner.

As Vivi spoke, Luffy adjusted his posture.

This novel item instantly brought Luffy back the joy of being a craftsman.

Therefore, life also needs some spice.

When you eat the same thing for a long time, you start to crave something else.

[Through diligent practice, your dance skills have improved, gaining 10 proficiency points.]

[Your mental strength is severely depleted, but your willpower has increased, and your Observation Haki proficiency has increased by 1.]

[Your physical energy has been compressed and trained, increasing your physical strength and Armament Haki proficiency by +1.]

.....

Can I add all of them?

Luffy's face lit up with joy.

This was the first time he had ever seen two domineering abilities combined since he was forced to study.

This is double happiness.

Vivi noticed Luffy's rapid changes as his proficiency improved.

They couldn't help but fall into the same silence as Nami and Robin.

Isn't this a bit too fast?!

Vivi is feeling a bit numb.

Could you please be a little more considerate of me and slow down a bit?

A gradual approach is more reasonable. You've only just begun and you're already pushing yourself so hard... I'm not playing with you anymore.

[Through diligent practice, your dance skills have improved, gaining 10 proficiency points.]

[Through diligent practice, your dance skills have improved, gaining 10 proficiency points.]

[Through diligent practice, your dance level has increased to lv1.]

......

This feeling can easily make one feel subdued.

Luffy doesn't care whether it's intentional or not; he absorbs water very quickly, just like a sponge.

Vivi quickly became drenched in sweat because she didn't know what to teach anymore.

There's only so much you can teach in solo dance.

The remaining aspect is form and temperament, which requires continuous practice.

Vivi even suspected that Luffy was exerting so much force because he wanted to learn a duet dance.

To be honest, while she wasn't exactly a greenhorn in this area, she wasn't exactly a master either.

Then she quickly realized that there was simply no time to think about these things.

Vivi gently placed her hand on Luffy's shoulder, and when Luffy's hand wrapped around her slender waist, their bodies inevitably drew closer.

Chapter 91 My relationship with learning is like that of siblings!

Vivi has been learning dance in the palace since she was a child, and her dance partners are mostly palace dancers or etiquette teachers. When has she ever been in such close contact with a man?

She could clearly feel the heat emanating from Luffy's body and his firm muscle lines, and two blushes involuntarily rose on her cheeks.

The singing was melodious.

That was a soft hum from Vivi's lips.

Whether fast or slow, intense or calm, Luffy has gradually caught up with Vivi's pace. The shock in his heart is indescribable. At the beginning, he was clearly a novice, but in just a few hours, she has been learning from elementary school to adulthood.

But gradually, her heart calmed down. Looking up, she could see Luffy's focused expression.

Perhaps it was to break the somewhat ambiguous silence.

Perhaps Vivi really wanted to know.

"Luffy".

Vivi whispered to Luffy the question that had been on her mind for a long time: "Why are you willing to challenge a powerful enemy like Crocodile for someone like me, whom you've only known for a short time?"

"Because what he does is annoying."

Luffy has his own set of concepts of good and evil.

You either like something or you hate it.

"And the most important reason is because you're our partner. Isn't it only right to help a partner when they're in trouble?"

Luffy said slowly, "I said I'd beat him up, and I will!"

Simple and direct words are more powerful than any fancy vow.

A warm current and an indescribable sense of security surged through my body.

A sense of security—something she hadn't felt in a long time.

This feeling is captivating.

She gently pressed her forehead against Luffy's chest.

Luffy?

It was for my sake, wasn't it?

This somewhat absurd thought involuntarily surfaced in Weiwei's mind.

Just then, Sanji walked over with the breakfast he had prepared.

The scene before him froze him instantly, and he almost dropped the plate in his hand.

"Again, is it like this?!"

He knelt on the ground, wailing inwardly.

"Miss Nami, Miss Nami, come quick and see this heartless rubber bastard captain!"

At that moment, Nami walked over, prompted by Robin.

Sanji felt like he'd seen a savior. He clenched his fists and shouted inwardly, "Yes, that's right! Nami, beat him up!"

This bastard who's got one foot in... uh, it seems like he's involved in more than two relationships!

However, Nami's reaction was unexpected by Sanji.

She looked at the two embracing, a complex expression flashing across her face before she forced a smile, stepped forward, and grabbed Luffy's arm, saying:

"Hey, Luffy! It's time to come with me to learn about navigation! We haven't reviewed yesterday's lesson yet!"
