Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

Shanks said: "Luffy, I don't know if you believe in fate! This devil fruit has rolled under your feet twice, I feel it is not a coincidence. If possible, I would like to give this devil fruit to you!"

[Luffy quickly refused Shanks's kindness, saying it was too expensive! ]

Although Luffy didn't know how much this devil fruit could be sold for, he knew it was definitely an astronomical figure!!

Facing Luffy's sincerity, Shanks laughed heartily: "As pirates, we do whatever we want! The value of this devil fruit isn't important; what's important is that it chooses you. Don't worry about the money; the key is whether you want it. If you choose it, then even if you have to pay it back later, that's fine."

【It chose me...?】

Luffy stared at the rubber fruit and began to think.

[His mind flashed back to the scene where the rubber fruit had just fallen to his feet twice...]

[It seems to be really choosing me? ? ]

[But if it chooses me, should I choose it...?]

[But...if I miss it, this devil fruit will most likely be eaten by someone else. Once I miss it, I'll miss it forever...]

[Should I cherish this magical fate, or ignore it? ]

[Luffy's mind fell into a vortex of struggle~~~]

Shanks remained silent. Following his gaze, the Red Hair Pirates remained silent.

He didn't want to interfere with Luffy's choice. In his opinion, if it was truly a special fate, then it should be entirely up to Luffy to decide!

Luffy pondered for a long time. When he raised his head again, there was no trace of hesitation on his young face.

【"I want it!" Luffy's eyes were determined. 】

【He finally decided to take it seriously!!】

"Uncle Shanks, I will definitely pay you back the money for this devil fruit when I make money in the future." Luffy said.

"No problem, it's yours!"

Shanks wasn't particularly excited when he saw Luffy accept the Rubber-Gum Fruit.

If Luffy chooses to refuse, he won't even try to persuade him.

【He left everything to fate! 】

@ 【Luffy accepted the devil fruit, said goodbye to Shanks again, and prepared to leave. 】

[But before he could take even half a step, Shanks called out to him again...]

"Hmm? Uncle Shanks?"

= 【"Luffy, do you still want to learn the Conqueror's Haki training method just now?"】

[“I want to!” Luffy’s eyes lit up! ]

By the time Luffy came out of the bar, it was already getting dark~~~

After returning home, he left everything else to his own devices. He immediately found a pen and paper and wrote down in detail the training method Shanks had taught him. Although he couldn't replicate it exactly, he managed to get a good approximation of it.

As for the rubber fruit, he didn't eat it immediately.

[It is still hesitating~~~]

[Become a person with special abilities, and at the same time become a landlubber! ]

[This matter still needs to be carefully considered~~~]

【Time passes day by day...】

[Finally, one morning a month after Luffy obtained the Rubber Fruit, Luffy ate the Rubber Fruit! ]

The video plays here, and it is obvious that the answer has been determined!!

[Ding! The top three correct answers to this quiz are Shanks, Bye, and Bye.]

【Congratulations to one person for receiving a reward! 】

[Congratulations to Shanks, and I'll give you a Kirin Arm as a reward!]

[Because the Qilin Arm is a magical object from another world, special notes are made.]

[Note: This arm, tempered with the blood of the ancient mythical beast, the Fire Qilin, possesses superb strength and defense, invulnerable to both heat and cold, and invulnerable to swords and spears!]

WTF! !——

Seeing the comments about the Qilin Arm, the chat room suddenly exploded~~~~

-

Chapter 16: Awakening the Domineering Haki at the age of 9!

In a sea area away from the Navy Headquarters~~~

The Red Hair Pirates' flagship, the Redfors, is here!!

As the rewards were distributed, Red-Haired Shanks suddenly felt a dull pain in his left arm!!!

It was as if something extremely hot was burning madly in his broken arm!!!

"Hmm..."

Despite the unbearable pain, Shanks still gritted his teeth and tried not to make any sound~~~

But how could the youngest of the Four Emperors make a fool of himself in front of his subordinates?

“Boss!!”*

"Shanks!!"

"Captain!!!"1

The surrounding cadres just turned their eyes towards Shanks and saw his unusual reaction! !

They were eager to rush to Shanks and ask about his condition.

However, under the constraints of the viewing system, they are unable to make any drastic actions! ! 4

It can only make very small movements within a very small range, and its movements are very slow, just like being hit by a slow light wave...7

"Don't worry, I'm fine!!"

Shanks frowned, but told everyone not to worry.*

He could clearly feel that the cells at the broken part of his left arm were growing crazily! ! !

Each of these newly grown cells contains extremely powerful flame energy and life energy! !

The next moment, a flash of fire instantly illuminated the sea area! ! !]

The clouds in the sky were also dyed a flame orange!

Under the astonished gaze of the Red Hair Pirates' leaders, Shanks' left arm was growing and repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the flames completely subsided, an arm covered in flames appeared on Shanks' body! !

Through the firelight, everyone could clearly see a lifelike fire unicorn pattern on that arm! !

The chat room is also very lively~~

Gol D. Roger: "Little Shanks, do you have three arms now?"

Shanks: "...Captain, my left arm was broken 10 years ago. Now I have the Kirin Arm, which means I have two arms..."

Gol D. Roger: "Ah~, that's such a shame! If you had three arms, your strength would be even higher!"

Kozuki Oden: "Hahaha! Captain Roger, I think it looks better with two arms, otherwise it would be so weird!"

Kaido: "Shanks, is that Kirin Arm really that magical? I wonder how it compares to my defense?"

Shanks: "You'll have to try it to know! But... this Kirin Arm is indeed full of power, and it can also produce Kirin flames. I feel like I got the Flame-Flame Fruit for free~~~"

Dracule Mihawk: "After the Battle of Marineford, Shanks, you came to me on Kraikana Island. You are now qualified to spar with me in swordsmanship again."

Shanks: "Haha! No problem! But I feel like, if I hold the sword in my left hand now, I can beat you into a pulp~~~"

Ghost Spider: "Not sensitive to heat or cold, invulnerable to swords and spears... Is this Qilin Arm really that exaggerated???"

Borsalino: "What a hassle! A Four Emperors-level pirate got hold of something like this! It's really a headache...!!"

Zhan Guo: "Don't think too much, the movie is still going on. As long as we have the opportunity to answer the questions, our navy will definitely get a lot of rewards!!"

Shiki: "With your wicked and rotten character, you can't expect anything! When I'm resurrected, I'll destroy the Marine Headquarters and avenge that blow!"

Zhan Guo: "Get lost! I don't want to waste my time talking to a dead person!!"

The video continues~~~

[Day after day, Luffy trains from dawn to dusk.]

[Two years later, Luffy is now 9 years old.]

[In the forest, Luffy is practicing his Observation Haki while being surrounded by a hundred wild beasts.]

[Suddenly, an incomparable sense of intimidation emanated from Luffy, instantly spreading throughout the entire forest! ! ! ]

All the beasts present immediately fell to the ground, their legs in the air, foaming at the mouth and twitching non-stop.

[There was even a lot of feces and urine spraying out at the same time, the scene was horrific...]

WTF! !——

Seeing this scene, all the strong men felt their scalps tingling~~~

Dauberman: "That's..., hegemony... hegemony color...???"

Kuzan: "No doubt, that is indeed the Conqueror's Haki!!!"

Crane: "Garp, you're worthy of being my grandson...! Awakening Conqueror's Haki at the age of 9 is a rare talent even in the New World!"

Monkey D. Garp: "Stop talking! The more you talk, the more uncomfortable I feel!!! Compared to Red Luffy over there, I feel more and more that my eldest grandson is a piece of shit..."

Monkey D. Luffy: "(⊙o⊙)..."

Nico Robin: "Hehe, this is a complaint from Grandpa Luffy~~"

Roronoa Zoro: "Are we actually taking risks under the leadership of a piece of shit..."

Franky: "Hahaha! Stop it, it's too heartbreaking. Um, super~~~!"

Charlotte Katakuri: "This kid's talent is really abnormal..."

Marco: "The talents of the Straw Hat boys on both sides should be the same, but Luffy on the other side has spent all his time on training, so he awakened the Conqueror's Haki early. Logically speaking, Luffy on this side must also have the qualifications of a king, but he just hasn't awakened yet."

Monkey D. Luffy: "Huh? Can I also awaken that Conqueror's Haki?"

Monkey D. Garp: "Idiot! How dare you say that! Luffy over there awakened his Conqueror's Haki at the age of 9! What about you? You haven't awakened yet, aren't you ashamed!!"

Boa Hancock: "Grandpa, please stop scolding Luffy-kun. Luffy-kun has actually awakened Conqueror's Haki, and I can prove it!"

Before, when he was on Nine Snake Island, Luffy saw that the lives of Margaret and the other two were threatened, so in desperation, he awakened his Conqueror's Haki!

Luffy didn't know what that was about, but Hancock did.

Now seeing Luffy being scolded by his grandfather, she couldn't bear to see Luffy being criticized, so she hurried to prove Luffy's case.

Monkey D. Garp: "Shut up! Stop calling me Grandpa all the time! What happens between you and Luffy is your business, don't involve me!"

Garp was furious when he thought about Luffy driving a huge truck with such a small body! !

Damn, Luffy is totally ruined!!

Karp now wishes he could dive into the red-framed screen and swap places with the Karp over there~~

Luffy in the picture is still practicing~~

【Day after day, year after year~~】

Another five years have passed in a hurry~~

【At this time, Luffy is 14 years old! 】

[Two months after Ace went to sea, Luffy also went to sea! ]

At this point, the big screen with a red border dimmed.
