One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

port.

On a pirate ship flying a flag with two axes and a skull, the crew of the Giant Axe Pirates are drinking and chatting.

A newcomer to the Giant Axe Pirates was happily telling the surrounding pirates:

"Hehehehe, being a pirate is so great."

"We just raided a village and made a fortune. We also captured a few slaves. We can sell them to slave traders and make a huge profit. Then the boss can take us out for a few more days of fun."

Upon hearing the rookie pirate's words, the pirate captain next to him immediately teased, "Kam, you bastard, if it weren't for me, you would have almost been caught by the Navy last time."

"Of course, of course, thank you, Captain!"

While the pirates were laughing and joking, several pirates who had escaped from the tavern hurriedly returned to their ship.

"Boss Buck! Boss Buck!"

The pirates who were drinking and chatting on the deck looked at the few pirates who had escaped back with surprise.

"Bang!"

The cabin door was suddenly kicked open with great force, and a fat man with a face full of scars, standing 2 meters tall, carrying a double-edged axe on his back, walked out of the cabin with an angry expression.

"Damn it, what's all the noise about? Who's disturbing my enjoyment? Don't they know I hate being interrupted when I'm drinking?"

Seeing the captain's furious face, all the pirates on the deck turned their attention to the group of people who had just escaped back.

Noticing that everyone was looking at them, one of the pirates stammered, "Boss Buck, our Scarface Captain got killed by a brat in the tavern."

After hearing what the pirate had to say, Buck the Giant Axe became even angrier.

"Your captain has been killed, so what are you bunch of useless trash doing back here?"

"Men, kill these good-for-nothings and throw them into the sea to feed the fish."

"Have mercy, boss! We came back to deliver a message!"

Upon hearing the captain's order, pirates immediately drew their machetes and surrounded the ship.

After killing the men and throwing them into the sea, Buck gave orders to the pirates on deck.

"Go find the guy who killed Scarface. I'll teach him a lesson for offending 'Giant Axe Buck.'"

"yes!"

Upon receiving the captain's order, the pirates scattered like birds and beasts, disembarking and heading towards the town.

Back at the inn, Roy, who had returned to his room to rest after the banquet, was unaware that killing a pirate henchman had attracted the entire Giant Axe Pirates to come out.

Even if I found out, I wouldn't worry. It's just a pirate crew that sounds like trash. Even if they came, I could just wipe them out easily.

At this moment, Roy was examining the intelligence he had bought from Shakky.

After briefly flipping through the manual in his hand, Roy had a rough plan in mind for everyone's future growth, and then turned off the light and went to sleep.

The next day, Roy woke up from his sleep, checked his injuries, and opened the door to find Stella setting breakfast on the table.

"Good morning, Stella." Using her Observation Haki to scan her surroundings and finding Tesoro not in the room, she asked curiously, "Where did that Tesoro go so early?"

"He went out to train early this morning. Let's have breakfast first."

Seeing that Stella had already set out the food, Roy sat down without ceremony.

"Bang!"

"I'm back, Stella!"

Tezzolo pushed open the door and saw that the two were already seated at the dining table, so he quickly went over.

Looking at the bruises on Tesoro's face that hadn't faded yet, Roy knew that this guy had been working hard to train these past few days.

After the group finished breakfast, Roy looked at the two of them.

"We'll rest here for a few days. My injuries should be fully healed in a few more days. In the next few days, we need to prepare supplies for the upcoming voyage, and more importantly, we need to have our own ship."

"Tesoro, your training should be paused for now..."

"But, boss, I want to get stronger quickly. I can't hold you back anymore. I don't want to experience that feeling of helplessness I felt when facing the pirates yesterday."

"Idiot, can't you let me finish what I have to say?" With that, Roy took out the basic training method he had obtained from Shakky from his luggage and handed it to Tesoro.

"Your physical talent is good, but you still lack systematic training. For now, train your physique according to this method. Once your physical strength has improved, I will teach you more advanced training methods."

"Yes, boss." Tesoro happily accepted the booklet, as if it were a priceless treasure.

Seeing Tesoro's delight, Roy took out a simple map of the first half of the Grand Line and a Log Pose from his pocket.

"Stella, this is the compass for our next island." "We need you to confirm the sailing route first."

"Okay, Boss Roy."

Over the next few days, the three of them began a short rest in the small town.

Tesoro devoted almost all his time to training. Every day before dawn, he would go to the back mountain of the town to begin tempering his physique.

Stella was responsible for procuring supplies, food, and fresh water, as well as determining the next voyage route.

Roy himself wasn't idle either.

He spent most of his time meditating in his room, further familiarizing himself with and controlling his surging mental power and newly awakened Conqueror's Haki.

He discovered that by meticulously integrating his mental energy into his Observation Haki, he could not only perceive emotions and simple thoughts, but also vaguely "see" the blurry trajectory of the other person's next move. At the same time, he was also constantly developing the ability of the "Mind-Mind Fruit".

Of course, the peaceful days did not last long.

When Roy's bounty reached the island, the hotel owner who recognized them immediately and secretly reported the discovery to the navy at a nearby naval base.

On the afternoon of the third day, Roy, who had fully recovered from his injuries, and Tesoro, who had finished his training, appeared together in the town's only weapon shop, wanting to choose a decent sword for themselves, when a group of strange-looking pirates were rushing towards them menacingly.

"Boss, something's wrong."

Roy, who was paying the bill, glanced at the counter with his Observation Haki, put the money on the bar, picked up the longsword he had chosen, and led Tesoro out of the weapon shop.

As soon as they stepped out of the shop, the pirates who came towards them blocked their way at the entrance of the weapon shop.

The burly man leading the group, wielding a giant axe, was none other than "Giant Axe Buck," the captain of the Giant Axe Pirates. Behind him followed a dozen or so menacing-looking pirates.

"Captain, it's this kid! I've found out, he's the one who took down Scarface!" Cam, the new pirate who had just joined the crew, shouted, pointing at Roy.

Upon hearing this, Buck the Giant Axe looked Roy up and down. He couldn't believe that Scarface, one of his capable subordinates, had been defeated by this seemingly childish kid dressed as a nobleman.
