The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

In the end, the crimson gold one had a slight advantage. After slowly wearing down the pink slash, it continued to advance, only to be worn down by the pink slash that followed closely behind.

"Your Highness's Devil Fruit ability and Conqueror's Haki have improved even more."

Gion descended from mid-air and let out a cry of praise.

Luther also sheathed his sword and walked over from the other side, smiling as he said:

"You should say that my swordsmanship has improved a lot, while my Conqueror's Haki and Devil Fruit abilities have just been gradually improved."

"Your Highness, swordsmanship is the only thing I cannot speak of without a clear conscience."

Gion smiled, showing no intention of acknowledging Luther.

"Master, I believe that Gion is inherently rebellious and should be eliminated!"

Hancock's timely words came from the side; she had been watching from a distance.

Even though it wasn't the first time she had seen Luther and his companion fight, her heart still pounded whenever she saw those devastating strikes.

This was a power she had never seen before, a strength that seemed completely unlike anything a human should possess.

According to Luther and Gion, reaching such strength only means that one has just stepped into the threshold of becoming a top-tier expert.

Even those who have grudges against them are far more powerful than this.

Whenever she thinks of this, Hancock feels a surge of motivation.

Sooner or later, she will become just as strong!

"Ok?"

Gion's soft murmur made Hancock's heart tighten.

Meeting those dangerous pomegranate eyes, Hancock pursed her lips and lowered her head meekly, saying:

"Alas... I... am speaking from the bottom of my heart!"

Only after being trained by Gion did she truly understand the vast difference between the two.

She won't be thinking about surpassing that for at least the next 10 years.

If you can withstand it for 5 minutes after 6 months, that would be a remarkable achievement.

Having been disciplined by Gion to some extent, Hancock took the opportunity to run to Luther's side, took off his worn-out training clothes, and carefully changed him into a new suit.

Judging from her skillful technique, she has done this many times in the past six months.

With six months of rapid growth in strength, coupled with being in her developmental stage and consuming the most luxurious and nutritious foods, Hancock has grown considerably taller, now exceeding two meters, surpassing the height of a normal future Hancock.

On Luther's side, Hancock, apart from being disciplined by Gion, did not suffer any grievances, and her overall mental state was excellent.

Combined with the allure of sweet fruit, she absolutely deserves the title of the world's most beautiful girl.

Luther stroked Hancock's long black hair and said with a smile:

"Stop arguing with Gion. I know you two get along very well."

"I'm not close to her, it'll never happen!" Hancock scoffed.

"I don't know who it is, but they keep begging me to say no."

Gion walked slowly towards them, a playful expression on her beautiful face.

"Humph!"

Hancock buried her head in Luther's chest, refusing to look at Gion even once.

"What level is my current strength at?"

Luther steered the conversation back to Gion and asked her a question.

He needs to assess his own strength now in order to proceed with his next plan.

"Your Highness, your current strength should be no weaker than that of Kozuki Oden."

Gion roughly assessed Luther's current overall strength.

"That's pretty much what I expected, but unfortunately, physical strength is still a weakness for now, so I can't fight for long periods of time," Luther said regretfully.

He's now similar to Kozuki Oden, both being exemplars of high offense and low defense.

Fortunately, he is still young and far from reaching his peak.

As he gets older and continues to exercise, his physique is also constantly improving.

If he were to grow for another ten years and reach his peak, with the foundation of a Celestial Dragon and the Golden Crow Fruit, a top-tier Mythical Zoan, he wouldn't be much weaker than Kaido at his peak in the future.

"What does Your Highness need strength for?"

Gion asked with some doubt, because normally, Luther wouldn't pay so much attention to improving his strength, especially in actual combat.

"We need to prepare to go to the East China Sea; strength is a necessary factor," Luther smiled.

Although the East China Sea is only one of the four seas, it is extremely valuable.

The future Four Emperors, Shanks and Buggy, are currently spending their days in the East Blue.

Garp and Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, also frequently travel to the East Blue.

Even the legendary pirate Shiki, who escaped from Impel Down three years ago, is now gathering strength in the East Blue.

Without sufficient strength, there is a risk of capsizing if one is not careful.

This time, he couldn't bring his general with him on his trip to the four seas. Only Gion was by his side, which made him feel somewhat unsafe.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Gion's strength, but rather that their opponents were ridiculously strong.

Luther stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

This time, it seems we'll have to recruit a high-ranking general to accompany us, otherwise it just doesn't feel safe.

......

After resting for a few days, Luther and his companions left the Holy Land aboard the Don Quixote.

During this period, they also stopped at the Navy Headquarters to pick up a large group of people who had been training there.

The procession was still quite large, and the Don Quixote was bustling with activity.

Although no active-duty general accompanied him, Luther still managed to secure a general-level combatant.

It wouldn't be in line with Luther's travel standards if he didn't have two general-level bodyguards when he went out.

"Professor Zephyr, I never expected you to agree."

Luther looked at Zefa, who was walking aggressively from the bow of the ship, and greeted him with a smile.

"You bastard, you took all my students away, how could I not come!"

Zephyr walked up to Luther, and without saying a word, he swung his thick arm, imbued with Armament Haki, at Luther.

boom!!!

Luther, wielding Ace with Conqueror's Haki swirling around his sword, effortlessly blocked Zephyr's greeting attack.

“Teacher Zephyr, I didn’t force you to do anything. Maria and the others just missed me and wanted to come with me to the East Sea,” Luther chuckled.

"Hmph, they know perfectly well that they are in a crucial period of training right now, and the previous batch of trainees has just graduated, while I'm taking a break."

Zephyr looked displeased, but still withdrew his hand from attacking Luther.

At this moment, he was also secretly alarmed.

Although he hadn't used his full strength in that punch, he didn't expect Luther to have taken it so easily.

There might only be one: Luther has already approached or reached the level of a general.

“Isn’t this a perfect opportunity to invite Professor Zephyr to relax and take a trip to Garp’s hometown?” Luther said.

“What are you up to?” Zephyr frowned. “I’d rather go with you and beat up Garp than go to the East Blue with you.”

Beating up Garp would at least be something he'd like to see, but the excuse of going to Garp's hometown could only mean that Luther was secretly plotting something deeper.

Everyone knows that as long as Luther goes to sea, something big is bound to happen.

The first time they destroyed Ohara, the second time they captured the Red Earl, and the third time they turned the New World upside down.

This is the fourth time. If they do something even more intense, Zephyr won't be able to handle it.

“Do you know, Professor Zephyr?”

Suddenly, Luther gazed at the distant sea and said in a low voice:

“I have enough information here to get Garp to the execution platform, right here in Garp’s hometown.”

"What intelligence?"

Zephyr frowned; he had long known that Garp was unreliable.

However, they were comrades-in-arms for many years. Although they were not as close as Garp was to Sengoku and Tsuru, he would not stand idly by.

Of course, if Garp goes against justice, he will definitely be the first one to go and cause trouble.

Zefa's mind stirred, and he suddenly thought of something:

"Is that his bastard son? He was doing well in the navy, then he defected and disappeared without a trace. I heard he's now in that revolutionary army?"

“Those are minor matters. Long is now the leader of the revolutionary army, liberating non-member states, and he’s already overwhelmed with work.” Luther smiled. “Besides, family members shouldn’t be implicated. The government isn’t that heartless.”

"So that's something he did himself? Hah, that old guy's got what he deserves."

Zefa chuckled, his previous tension completely gone.

Luther, however, knew why Zephyr was behaving this way.

If it involved other people, Garp might be innocent, but since it involved Garp himself, it was clear that Garp had done something wrong.

Whatever he did, Garp must have known the consequences; ultimately, he deserved it.

Tell me what happened, and let me have a laugh too.

Zefa also became curious and wanted to know the details of what happened.

“When Roger was executed five years ago, there was a secret piece of information about him that Professor Zephyr should know,” Luther said.

“Of course I know!” Zephyr’s eyes held a hint of reminiscence. “It’s the bloodline of the Pirate King Roger, isn’t it? Back then, the government and the navy practically turned the world upside down, and they didn’t spare a single newborn whose bloodline was uncertain. Tens of thousands of pregnant women and babies died at that time.”

You mean?
