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

Chapter 7: The Iron Block is Invincible!?

Luffy felt a continuous surge of power emanating from all parts of his body.

This resilient little guy was trained from a young age.

I vaguely remember my grandfather throwing me into a bottomless abyss, leaving me in a dangerous forest, and then tying me to a balloon and releasing me into the air.

This talent is just waiting to be activated!

As the saying goes, a great teacher produces great students, and Luffy's foundation was laid by his grandfather, the naval hero Garp.

Whether you're a navy officer or a pirate, the most important thing on the high seas is survival.

If one's vitality is not strong enough, then when fighting against someone of a higher level, it is very easy to fail or even die.

If you have a strong will to live, you can get up again and again and break through your own limits time and time again.

Luffy's vitality has achieved another small breakthrough. Facing the cannon flying from the sky, he grinned and said, "Gum...balloon!"

He inhaled deeply, causing his abdomen to swell.

The shells flew over and were deflected.

The sailors on deck stared wide-eyed as they saw the shells they had fired flying back.

"W-what happened?"

"He's a Devil Fruit user!"

When Lodi saw this, he recognized him immediately, even though he was a lieutenant colonel at the Navy Headquarters. His expression turned serious.

How could a Devil Fruit user appear in the small East China Sea?

They must be one of the lucky ones from somewhere else.

The shells will become the enemy's weapons instead, so let's use boarding maneuvers!

"Move the boat closer to me!" Lodi shouted.

the other side.

The commotion was so loud that it woke Nami up.

It's making so much noise so early in the morning, doesn't it let anyone get any sleep?

To be honest, I didn't sleep very well last night.

The name "Arlong" was almost her nightmare. The moment she saw Bellemere's photo, she was reminded of the scene where Bellemere was killed by Arlong while protecting her and Nojiko, which is why she was so agitated.

After that, Luffy's serious expression would pop into my mind from time to time.

partner.

These two words are, to some extent, something Nami finds extremely offensive.

Having spent her childhood on the high seas, Nami has seen countless pirates who, one second, are talking about being comrades, and the next second, are stabbing each other in the waist.

Girls tend to be more perceptive. If Nami were the naive and innocent type, she probably wouldn't have known she was captured by the slave owner and sold to a nobleman long ago.

How could someone have managed to raise nearly 100 million Berries all by themselves until now?

But she truly felt that Luffy considered her a comrade.

That's why Nami is conflicted.

After years of deceit and treachery, when someone suddenly appears who opens their heart to you, Nami finds herself softening.

Normally, she would have already found an opportunity to sneak away with the treasure.

Luffy said that crewmates should help each other.

However, Arlong's power was deeply imprinted in her mind. Over the years, many marines came to capture Arlong and his gang, but they were all sunk to the bottom of the sea along with their ships before they even met them.

Can Luffy and Zoro really help her defeat Arlong, rescue the villagers of Cocoyasi Village, and also save her from that nightmare?

If it were any other pirate, Nami might have deliberately shifted the blame, causing them to fight Arlong's crew.

In her eyes, whoever wins or loses is just a dog-eat-dog fight.

But... Luffy's smile keeps popping into my mind, and I just can't bring myself to do it.

"Calm down, do you really think of yourself as his navigator?"

Nami patted her face, then opened the door and went out.

Looking up, I saw Luffy leap into the air.

Immediately afterwards, a fist that blotted out the sky appeared in the field of vision.

"Wow, it's huge."

Nami opened her mouth wide.

......

Can a rubber man turn into a giant?

This is the question Luffy was thinking about yesterday.

Previously, he felt that his moves were sufficient and there was no need to spend more time thinking about these things.

But yesterday, I wasn't fully focused on developing my experimental skills. If I lost focus even slightly, I would hear the countdown in my ears.

The reaction came immediately.

He was given absolutely no time to slack off.

So Luffy figured out this new move in just one day.

Named,

"Rubber Giant Pistol!"

On the ship, a group of soldiers from the Navy Headquarters were about to show off their skills when they suddenly looked up and saw a fist that blotted out the sky.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Why would a giant appear in the East China Sea?

"It's not a giant, it's a Devil Fruit ability!"

"shot!"

Lodi's eyes widened, and he immediately began issuing orders.

Where did they take him?

Anyone who didn't know better would think he had arrived at the Grand Line.

Giants are purely numerical monsters.

The so-called "body shape equals justice" theory.

In the navy, being slightly larger has a significant advantage.

This is especially true among pirates; most of the famous great pirates are large men.

In a small sea area like the East China Sea, this is practically a game-changer.

Have you ever seen a fist the size of a sandbag?

Instead of fists the size of sandbags, we saw fists almost as big as naval warships.

The bullets were completely ineffective against that enormous fist.

Damn it.

"Iron block!"

Lodi shouted loudly with a stern face.

After all, he was a colonel-level officer from the headquarters, and he knew a few moves of the Navy's Six Styles.

Lodi graduated from the training camp and has been studying this move ever since.

Iron blocks are invincible!

"bring it on!"

Lodi faced the giant's pistol, and his face contorted the instant of contact, along with the destruction of most of the naval warship.

The encounters between pirates and the navy are just that brutal.

If it were any other pirate crew, they would have killed and looted everything after achieving such a result.

If a Cross Society were to emerge a few years from now, they might arrest the navy and use the bounty to do something rebellious against the Heavenly Gang.

However, Luffy and his crew didn't have this idea.

If the navy lacks the combat capability to catch up, that's fine.

"Is our captain that capable?"

Usopp's eyes lit up.

Why are some people's moves so cool?!

He actually saw a giant, even if it was just a fist.

"It's cool, but aren't the side effects too much?" Zoro couldn't help but watch the figure falling from the sky.

"...Catch me, you two bastards!" Luffy yelled.

The moves are pretty cool, but the side effects are significant; he's now shaped like a child.

The only comforting thing is...

Can I eat now?

Could you provide more of these shelves?
