“This requires steady control. The essence of Fishman Karate is not in brute force, but in how to concentrate the power of the whole body into one point,” Jinbe said.

The little girl is the type who, once she becomes interested, devotes a great deal of energy to learning, but she is also eager to know whether she has talent in this area and how well she is learning.

Bonney then asked curiously, "Jinbe, are we good enough at Fish-Man Karate to beat the monsters from the Beasts Pirates in Wano Country?"

The monster was referring to several Beastmen. Bonney and Shirahoshi saw Jinbe use Fishman Karate to defeat all the Beastmen, who were difficult for many people to handle.

Jinbe chuckled and praised, "You haven't reached that level yet, but you'll catch up soon."

That's quite good.

You're doing well?

Luffy stepped forward cheerfully, "I've also learned Fishman Karate, how about we have a spar?"

Jinbe was slightly taken aback and wanted to stop him, trying to make amends for what he had just said.

Then he saw Shirahoshi and Bonney fly away. Luffy turned to look at Jinbe, a few question marks popping into his mind.

Is this considered good?

It's definitely because Jinbe's kind-hearted nature kicked in; you can tell even though Luffy's Fishman Karate skills are still developing.

Jinbe looked away somewhat embarrassedly, "Kids need encouragement."

Luffy, adopting the demeanor of a stern teacher, said, "That won't do. It will lead to unrealistic ideas, and in a real battle, the enemy won't care."

Then, looking at Shirahoshi and Bonnie, she said, "You're still a bit lacking. You need to train seriously. If you want to learn, come find me at 2 AM starting tomorrow. You'll definitely be able to in a few days..."

Before he could finish speaking, a fist slammed into the back of his head with a sharp whistling sound.

"Boom!"

If you say it again, I'll cry!

Nami playfully punched Luffy, then looked at the dejected Shirahoshi and Bonney and comforted them, "Don't mind him. He hasn't broken free from his own Yonko (Four Emperors) standards yet. By normal standards, you two are already very strong."

After all, he's only been learning Fishman Karate for a few days and he's already able to perform it.

Who else besides Zoro and his training fanatics could meet the standards of the Four Emperors?

Nami complained, "He's just not suited to teaching."

Bonney chuckled, "Nami, you're right. Luffy has absolutely no idea how to teach people."

Luffy thought to himself that he had already lowered his standards by several levels according to his grandfather's.

Seemingly knowing what Luffy was thinking, Kuzan was completely speechless.

Mr. Garp's training is something that ordinary people simply cannot compare to.

Nami raised her fist, turned around and pulled Bonney and Shirahoshi to the other side, "Ignore him, come on, Sanji seems to have a new dessert, I'll take you to try it."

"Dessert!"

Bonnie's eyes lit up, and she and Shirahoshi walked away noisily.

Then, Luffy and Jinbe exchanged a glance. Jinbe, who was about to leave, knew something was wrong when he saw his captain's eyes.

Luffy has had some free time for a while now and is starting to get restless.

"Jinbe, you know what I mean, right?"

"Ok?"

"Want to have a fight?"

Jinbe gave a wry smile, then straightened his posture and said, "I'd also like to try and see what the difference is between me and the Emperor of the Sea."

"Hehe, Jinbe, you could probably fight the Emperors of the Sea even when you're in the sea, right?" Luffy chuckled and stretched his shoulders.

Lately, he's either been fighting opponents like Kaido or sparring with Zoro; it's been a long time since he's had a proper fight with someone whose style is different.

"Let's test out the new thing I've been researching lately."

"Something new?"

"Well, I'm just thinking about how to incorporate the power generation method of Fishman Karate into my moves."

Luffy clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking softly. "I can't stand still."

He would not let go of any way that could make him stronger.

These are all instinctive reactions ingrained in the grain; even when it appears idle, it is actually constantly growing stronger.

Jinbe nodded solemnly: "In that case, I will accompany you to the end."

He stepped to the open area in the center of the deck, stood firmly on his feet, bent his arms slightly, and assumed the starting stance of Fishman Karate.

"Come on, attack with all your might!"

Is that really the case?

Upon hearing this, Kuzan, who was not far away, couldn't help but stand up.

All-out effort?

Jinbe is too serious.

The conversation between the two men spread across the deck, drawing people who had been scattered about to gather around like sharks smelling blood.

Zoro leaned halfway out from the second-floor railing. "Want to fight? How about I sign up second?"

Kuzan put away the ice shelter, held up his wine glass, and said unhurriedly, "I'll be third. I'm also interested in sparring."

Sanji, a cigarette dangling from his lips, poked his head out of the kitchen doorway: "Luffy and Jinbe, don't you dare damage the ship, you bastards."

Luffy looked at these guys who wanted to watch the show with a bit of annoyance, and some of them even wanted to sign up. "Do you want to come up one by one or all at once?"

Zoro grinned, "That's not impossible."

Kuzan agreed, saying, "Why don't we have a duel between the Straw Hat Pirates?"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of interest.

Hancock, who had just come out of the cabin, heard this and, for some reason, the image in her mind began to materialize, and her face turned bright red.

"Are we...are we going to fight Lord Luffy?"

Uta, standing nearby, looked speechless. "It was a fight, not something that happened in bed."

"Fighting in bed?!"

"It's on the ship!"

Uta decided it was better not to stay with this woman, otherwise her brain would be completely contaminated by some strange thing.

She...she only kissed me!

Everyone enjoys a lively atmosphere. Besides games like playing cards and drinking, barbecues are another popular form of entertainment. So when they heard about a friendly competition, even Luo from the other side showed great interest and came out.

"Just how far has the 'Straw Hat' family really gone?" Luo was eager to know.

Jinbe was somewhat amused and exasperated. He had already gotten into his starting stance when someone next to him stopped him, and everyone gathered around.

Luffy stood in the center of the deck of the Thousand Sunny, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. Jinbe, opposite him, took off his outer robe, revealing his muscular chest and the broad shoulders and back typical of fishmen.

The two were only seven or eight meters apart, but the air within a radius of several dozen meters around them seemed to have become heavy.

"Mr. Luffy, I am ready." Jinbe once again assumed a defensive stance.

"Then I'll go."

Luffy grinned, clenched his left fist, and charged forward.

Boom!

The simple collision created wind pressure that sent all the light objects on the deck flying. Usopp was caught off guard and almost got thrown off the deck.

"Is this what you call a normal sparring match?"

Usopp thought to himself, anyone who didn't know better would think they were fighting amongst themselves.

"Hai Liu·Sheng Fist!"

With his simple, unadorned punch combined with Jinbe's unique racial strength, the power was enough to pierce through the keel of a medium-sized warship head-on.

Even Big Mom praised it highly after trying it.

Luffy entered Gear Second with a simple gesture, and it was even Gear Second Plus. In addition to steam, his body was surrounded by white patterns.

"Fishman Karate!"

Jinbe's pupils constricted slightly.

No, Captain, you really know how?

To be precise, Luffy's punch was delivered in a way that was more precise than that of many fish-man karate practitioners who had trained for years.

The palm wind is concentrated and does not disperse. All the power gathers in the three-inch center of the palm, and the airflow forms a thin film that is almost invisible to the naked eye on the edge of the palm.

This is the essence of Fishman Karate.

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw it.

Luffy actually incorporated Fishman Karate into his own fighting style.

Who taught it?

Luffy said with a grin, "Don't forget, Jinbe isn't the only one on the ship who knows Fishman Karate."

Robin then came out of the cabin with a book in his hand. Seeing the lively scene, he walked over with a smile and said, "Oh my, it seems like you're doing something interesting."

Nami secretly pulled Robin aside, "Robin, when?"

Robin also learned Fishman Karate in the two years that followed.

Luffy, who was still fighting, saw this scene and thought to himself, "Please don't tell anyone."

When he and Robin had time, it was only when they were resting in bed. When they had nothing to do, he would ask Robin to teach him some fun things.

Originally, they just wanted to explore how many tricks the Flower-Flower Fruit could be used for, but as they explored, they discovered that there were indeed many tricks, and then they started practicing Fish-Man Karate.

Sometimes, they're not even in their room.

Robin still had that smiling expression, gently tapping her chin with her finger: "Hmm... it was probably on a night when I was resting. Luffy said he was very curious about Fishman Karate, so I taught him a little bit of the basics."

"When did you teach me? I didn't see it!" Nami's eyes widened.
