Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

He then grabbed the drowsy Luffy and hurriedly chased after them.

They hadn't run for long before they were both panting heavily.

Ron and Guina have been out of sight for a long time.

"This won't do. We need to get Luffy up, otherwise he won't even be able to finish one trip, let alone three."

Ace said.

Sabo nodded, panting heavily, and called out to Luffy, who was leaning against him, "Luffy, Luffy, get up!"

"You're useless. You can't even call Luffy. Let me do it."

As Ace spoke, he leaned close to Luffy's ear and shouted, "Luffy, Grandpa's here!"

"grandfather?!"

Luffy suddenly woke up with a start. "Where's Grandpa? Huh? Where am I?"

"Still sleeping? Don't you remember what we talked about with Ron yesterday?"

Ace punched him on the head.

"Oh right, I have to work out with Ron today."

Luffy touched his head, finally coming to his senses.

"Good to know. Now get running on your own. It's too tiring to carry you around."

By the time the three brothers reached the mountaintop, it was already past midnight.

"So hungry."

Luffy lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily with his tongue lolling out.

"I really want to eat meat."

Ace and Sabo were also panting heavily and had dry mouths.

"You guys are so slow, I'm almost falling asleep while waiting."

Ron jumped down from a tree, walked over to the three of them, and kicked Luffy, saying, "Don't lie down. What you're about to do will be your favorite kind of training. If you win, you'll get meat."

"Meat?"

Luffy's eyes lit up, and he instantly got up.

Where can I find meat?

Ron laughed at the three of them, "If any of you three can hit me at once, you'll get a piece of meat."

"Keep your word."

Ace punched his fist in the palm and grinned.

Luffy's eyes gleamed.

Sabo adjusted his hat.

"on!"

As a result, it wasn't until noon.

The three of them still couldn't hit Ron even once.

Looking at the three brothers lying on the ground, panting heavily with their tongues hanging out, Ron said, "That's enough for today," and left.

On the way back to the tavern.

Kuina looked at Ron, who had a smile on his face, and asked curiously:

"You seem to be enjoying yourself? Is there anything special about those three?"

"Although the three of them are weak now, they will definitely become very strong in the future."

"how do you know?"

"Feel."

Ron laughed.

………………

The next few days.

The situation was similar for all three of them: they followed Ron through massive physical training, followed by one-on-three sparring, and the results were the same.

He couldn't even touch Ron's clothes.

However, the fact that the three of them were able to persevere and become stronger still made Guina take notice.

One day, in the tavern behind the house.

Guina was learning bartending from Makino behind the counter.

Four boys of similar age sat around a table not far away.

"Hey, Luffy, this is my meat."

Afraged, Ace grabbed Luffy's face and pulled it apart.

"Spit it out right now!"

"No! What's in my mouth is mine!"

No matter how long Luffy stretched his rubber face, he refused to let go, his mouth bulging as he continued to chew, like a hamster.

"You guy!"

"Ron, is that a real knife you're carrying?"

Sabo looked curiously at the Rachel that Ron had placed aside.

"of course."

"Amazing! Can I take a look?"

Sabo's eyes shone with admiration.

“Sure, but be careful, this knife is very sharp,” Ron said with a smile, holding a beer mug and drinking fruit beer, then handed him the Raiche.

Sabo extended his hands with reverence and piety to receive it.

"It's so heavy, is this a real knife? Ron, do you usually carry something this heavy?"

"Is it heavy? I don't think it's heavy at all."

"...As expected of you. May I pull it out and take a look?"

"Sure, just be careful not to cut yourself."

Ron nodded.

The next second, he threw a punch, sending Luffy, who was reaching out with his rubber arm to sneak away from the roasted chicken in front of him, flying.

"Amazing."

Sabo stared at the Raiche he had just pulled out, his eyes shining.

Ace joined in, excitedly asking, "What a beautiful knife! Does it have a name?"

"Raychi".

"So handsome!!"

Ace, Luffy, and Sabo's eyes shone brightly.

Behind the counter.

"Is that so?"

Following Makino's instructions, Guina successfully brewed a glass of bubbly fruit beer.

"Right, that is it."

Makino glanced at it and then said.

Then she looked up at the noisy table, her eyes full of gentle smiles.

……

33. Luffy: I don't want to be the Pirate King anymore, I want to be a traveler! (2/5)

As time goes by.

The group grew closer and more familiar with each other.

Ron and Kuina would sometimes pause their sword training to go up the mountain with Ace and the other two and have some fun.

diving.

Catch rhinoceros beetles.

He competed against a monkey that knew how to box.

Luffy couldn't even defeat one monkey, while Roon single-handedly took down the entire monkey troop, earning him many admiring glances from Ace and his companions.
