I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

raging.

The golden flames of evolution reflected a mesmerizing luster under the sunlight.

With just a slight sensation, the body's cells cheered, eagerly anticipating contact with the flames.

Yi Jin Xi Sui enhances one's natural talents.

Guina looked around.

Based on general patterns, Koushirou should be nearby during this time period.

Then he stared at her with those big, bell-like eyes.

But not today.

I searched left and right, but it wasn't there.

“The teacher is probably not free today,” Dick said, not surprised.

"Come here, Kuina, let me improve your aptitude."

Dick opened his arms.

Guina stopped a meter in front of Dick and watched silently.

"Is it necessary to hug him?"

“It’s not necessary,” Dick said, subtly lowering his hand.

"As you know, hugging is to increase the contact area. Without hugging, it's like Zoro, which is a bit inefficient."

“With your strength, this shouldn’t be difficult for you. You have excellent control.” Kuina crossed her arms.

Dick suddenly noticed that Guina had grown noticeably taller.

Her tender body has grown a lot, especially her legs.

Tall and slender, upright.

Perhaps due to long-term exercise, she is not as slender as the average girl, but rather somewhat rounded and strong.

Unfortunately, it's A.

But it's okay, given the developmental level of women in the One Piece world, Kuina has a promising future.

“The Flame of Evolution is different from ordinary flames; it’s quite magical. Just using it takes a lot of my effort,” Dick said without changing his expression.

"There's simply no extra energy to control it."

"Really?" Guina asked doubtfully.

In fact, Dick was almost omnipotent in Kuina's eyes in the past.

Even his father, whom he revered like a god, was often exasperated by Dick.

"Of course. You can take your time, like Zoro."

Guina stared straight at Dick, who was equally unyielding and showed no sign of weakness.

He has a clear conscience.

Eyes facing each other.

The grass sways gently, the breeze stirs softly; at this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

A dozen meters away, Zoro yawned through a layer of green grass.

"Ha, Kuina, are you done yet? Don't waste my time."

As he spoke, Zoro began to get up.

Then, walk directly onto another road.

Kuina looked away.

"Okay, I'll trust you this once."

"But if I find out you did it on purpose, you're dead."

Kuina took out the Wado Ichimonji.

The blade flashed, its cold light chilling.

"No, I've always been an upright person," Dick said righteously.

As she spoke, Guina, like a swallow returning to its nest, threw herself into Dick's arms.

Yeah, my bones hurt.

It's still too small after all.

Dick thought to himself.

Kuina blushed slightly.

Thinking of my mother's teachings, I realized that this was not right.

But the desire for strength still prevailed.

Yes, it's all about strength.

Dick stayed for another half month, and after confirming that the two of them could no longer absorb the Flame of Evolution in the short term, Dick left again.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the world, a figure streaked across the sky at an imperceptible speed.

On the high seas, majestic warships set sail, braving the wind and waves. They stand tall and proud.

Ordinary petty thieves really wouldn't dare to intercept people on the road so easily.

Dick sat leisurely in a recliner, with a large electric fan whirring behind him.

Sipping a glass of juice, with desserts on the small table, wearing sunglasses and sunbathing—if there were a few bikini-clad beauties around, that would be absolutely irresistible.

Unfortunately not.

Dick clicked his tongue in disappointment.

Cherish and enjoy the limited time you have.

Tomorrow, I'll have to work hard again.

Dick thought to himself.

"Report, Captain, pirate ship spotted ahead, it's the target."

"Oh?" Dick perked up.

On a unique pirate ship, each crew member has their own distinct characteristics.

There are swordsmen riding unicycles, animal trainers with whips, mighty lions, and of course, a captain with magical abilities.

On the deck, in the very center, sat a figure who was clearly a top expert.

Its pale cheeks were whiter than a corpse; its狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious) mouth could stop a child from crying; and its round red nose was the color of a demon.

On the sail, a striking image of a red-nosed figure flutters in the wind atop the pirate flag.

The Buggy Pirates.

Buggy, a peerless master with Conqueror's Haki-like luck.

"Report, Captain, there is a warship ahead, but it is not flying a naval ensign."

Bucky's eyelids twitched.

"Avoid."

In other words, he wanted to keep a low profile and not seek fame. Back in the day, he could easily wipe out not only warships, but even naval admirals.

To Bucky's surprise, he managed to evade the attack, but the warships relentlessly pursued him.

Bucky:? ? ?

"Captain, shall we fire?" Chief of Staff Kabaji asked coldly.

"No rush," Bucky said, picking at his nails. His bounty was already quite high. It was best not to provoke a powerful enemy unless absolutely necessary.

Boom.

The warships opened fire.

Bucky: ε=( o｀ω′)ノ

Well, they really think they can take Bucky for a fool.

"Take out the Bucky Bomb." Bucky grinned maliciously.

"Hmph hmph hmph." The others also grinned maliciously.

The Pakistani-modified Pakistani bomb is a bomb with unimaginable power.

The highest-level Pakistani bombs could destroy half a street, which is normal for them.

"Heave-ho, heave-ho!" The pirates loaded their weapons with great enthusiasm, adjusted their angles, and prepared to fire.

They had already imagined the scene of the enemy crying out in despair.

"Report, Captain!" Kabaji exclaimed.
