Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

Xiluobu Village!

The villagers here are not qualified to speak in the chat room of the viewing system, but they can see the screen images in the sky.

When the truth of that day was revealed, the whole village shed tears~~~

"Damn it!!! What have we done to him!!!"

"He informed us with the determination to die for us, but we drove him away..."

“We are not human beings!!”

......

Although the large white-framed screen had dimmed, the image of the young man fighting alone to protect the village was etched in the minds of every Xiluobu villager...

This guilt and self-blame is enough to make many people slap themselves in the face when they suddenly wake up from their sleep...

Damn, I was such a terrible person back then!

-

Soon~~

The red border gradually became brighter!

The screen appears.

[The boat is sailing on the sea~~~]

"Straw Hat boy, you're only in your teens, aren't you? Why are you so strong?"

On the deck, Buggy looked at Luffy who was practicing swordsmanship and couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

“Practice!”

Luffy continued his slashing training as he spoke calmly, "When I was little, I witnessed countless life-and-death battles on my grandfather's ship. Back then, I understood that if I didn't want to be killed by someone else's sword, I had to become the strongest."

[“The most powerful one…”]

Buggy was quite shocked when he heard Luffy's calm voice expressing his brilliant idea.

[No wonder this guy already possesses such a strong domineering Haki at this age, it turns out he has such big ambitions!!!]

"What about you? You're free at sea, aren't you? Why don't you practice? Come over here, let's practice together!" Luffy turned to look at Buggy and suggested.

However, Buggy shook his head: "No, I'm different from you. I'm a Devil Fruit user, and my training methods are beyond your comprehension."

[As for cultivation, Baki has stopped doing it since he came to the East China Sea!]

[Practicing is so tiring! ]

[Especially in a small place like the East Sea, he can already be domineering with the power of the devil fruit, so what's the point of practicing~~~]

【Lie down! You must lie down!!】

[Of course, he couldn't say that, so he just found an excuse to fool Luffy.]

However, Luffy curled his lips and said, "Come on, even for a Devil Fruit user, training is the most important thing! Use your imagination to create the prototype of a move, then try to put it into practice, and then through countless training sessions, successfully develop this ability. This is how Devil Fruit users train, right?"

【Nani~~~】

[After listening to Luffy's words, Buggy was completely stunned! ! ]

He looked at Luffy in bewilderment: "Hey, hey, hey, how do you know so much about the training methods of espers? Are you also an esper...???"

"Of course! Who isn't a user with special abilities?"

Luffy grabbed his face and pulled hard, "See? I'm the user of the Rubber-Gum Fruit! So... your excuse won't fool me. Come, let's train together!"

【"no......"】

Just as Buggy was about to say something, he suddenly felt an extremely terrifying intimidating force envelop him!

[It was as if countless terrifying murderers surrounded him instantly, but without touching him directly!]

[Obviously, this is Luffy's Conqueror's Haki! ! ! ]

[It's that kind of super domineering color that is precisely controlled to surround Buggy! ]

[Eh~?]

Bucky's face froze.

[Didn't you agree to be my guide? Why are you forcing me to practice?]

Chapter 44: Bucky's Training Method

Shanks: "Hahaha!! Buggy's expression over there is so funny~~~"

Nami: "He probably never dreamed that Luffy over there is not only strict with himself, but also with the people around him~~~~Ahahaha~~"

Hill Baz Rayleigh: "Speaking of which, Buggy's talent ceiling is actually very high, but after Roger's death, Buggy doesn't seem to be very motivated. Look at Buggy over there being forced to practice by Luffy, what level can he reach~~~"

Edward Newgate: "Bucky's talent is indeed not weak. Although we have only fought once, I still have some judgment!"

Gol D. Roger: "It must be a blessing for Buggy over there to meet Straw Hat Luffy. I'm so happy for Buggy over there!"

Bucky: "..."

[Why are you still forcing people to practice~~~]

【Bucky is completely stunned at this moment! 】

[He is a lazy person, otherwise it would be impossible for his strength to have not improved much over the years~~~]

[At this moment, he was like a child who didn't like studying but was forced to study by his teacher with a stick...]

[That feeling... is so uncomfortable~~~]

Although Buggy wanted to refuse, he finally gave in to Luffy's domineering aura...

[However... he still didn't give up and wanted to fight again~~~]

"It's not that I don't want to practice, it's more that I've hit a bottleneck in my Devil Fruit development and have no direction to practice in." Buggy explained.

Luffy looked over and said, "Tell me, what's the situation with your devil fruit?"

"I'm the user of the Split Fruit. Even if I'm hit by a knife, I won't be hurt. Look..."

[As he spoke, Buggy demonstrated the power of the Splitting Fruit.]

After the demonstration, Luffy rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "In other words, if you're struck by a sharp weapon, no matter how many times, you'll be passively cut apart. Even if it takes a thousand or ten thousand strikes, you'll still be passively separated, right?"

"Yes, that's right. But I can't do it actively. I can only split it at each joint."

Buggy nodded, then spread his hands. "So... you see, I've already developed this Devil Fruit to its full potential. There's nothing more to practice, right?"

“Let me think about it…”

Luffy didn't jump to conclusions, but started to think seriously.

When he was cultivating the Rubber Fruit, many parts of his body could only passively bear the characteristics of the Rubber Fruit at first, and were unable to actively exert the characteristics of the Rubber Fruit.

For example, if someone punches him, his body will dent due to its rubbery properties, thus reducing the destructive force of the punch.

[However, he was unable to actively extend the area that was hit, thereby further weakening the destructive power of the punch.]

[This situation is actually the same as what Bucky encountered. ]

[But Luffy successfully broke through this bottleneck through extensive training! ! ]

[The training method is very simple and crude. Luffy tamed a group of monkeys and let them punch him continuously. When the monkeys' fists landed on him, he tried to actively extend them!]

[At first, there was indeed no effect, but after days and months of training, Luffy successfully took the first step. After that, he became more and more smooth, just like a veteran driver who hadn't had a first time.]

[“There’s a way!!”]

【Luffy suddenly slapped his legs, startling Buggy. 】

[“Ah! Why are you so startled? You scared me!” Buggy said with a grin.]

【brush!!--】

[While Buggy was stunned, Luffy cut off Buggy's forearm with a single blow...]

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

[Faced with Luffy's sudden attack, Buggy's face changed and he jumped up immediately.]

【At the same time, he also understood the difference in strength between the two of them from Luffy's attack! ! ! 】

[This knife was so fast that he couldn't dodge it at all! !]

【Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!!! !!!...】

Luffy didn't answer. The sword in his hand slashed out phantom after phantom, instantly cutting Buggy's forearm into seventeen or eighteen pieces...

【! ! ! 】

[Bucky's eyes widened to become bigger than copper coins!!]

[I'm going to die! Is this Straw Hat Boy crazy? ]

Gol D. Roger: "Pfft!!! Hahahahahahaha!!!"

Kozuki Oden: "Hey~ Buggy's expression is still as wonderful as ever~~~"

Buggy: "Damn it! What the hell is that Straw Hat kid doing over there? Wasn't he supposed to be training? Why did he suddenly start a fight?"

Shanks: "Is it possible... that what he's doing is actually about your training?"

Shiki: "It's not impossible. Buggy's devil fruit ability is splitting. I see Red Luffy over there is probably using Buggy's ability to conduct research and study Buggy's training methods."

Franky: "Researching directly on Buggy, why does it sound a bit tragic, haha!"

Roronoa Zoro: "It's a bit tragic, but Luffy over there is doing this for Buggy's own good, so it doesn't matter if it's a little tragic."

Because Buggy is a user of the Split Fruit, the dozen or so cut arms are all suspended in mid-air.

Luffy points to two of the pieces and says, "Put these two pieces together."

[Although Bucky was very unhappy, he still did it.]

[When the two forearm slices are brought together, they automatically become a whole.]

Luffy then said, "Separate the two pieces that were just put together."

"Idiot! Didn't I tell you? Splitting something that isn't a joint can only be passive. I can't actively separate it."

As if to deliberately vent his discontent, Buggy took the opportunity to loudly "teach" Luffy a lesson.

Luffy ignored his emotion and pointed at the other two pieces, saying, "Pull these two pieces together. When they are about to merge into one, control them to move apart again."

Seeing that Luffy didn't care about his opinion at all, Buggy said angrily, "I'll give it a try."

【Finally, he began to control the two slices to move closer together.】

【bia！ 】

When the two slices are close enough, they are like two magnets that suddenly attract each other and become one.

Buggy shook his head. "No, once they reach the maximum distance, they'll automatically snap together and won't open!"

"Then try again! When you've found the critical distance for merging, we'll move on to the next stage of training."

Luffy threw a knife in front of Buggy, "I still need to train, so you can do the slicing yourself later~~~"

【Nani? ? ? 】

Looking at the knife thrown in front of him, Buggy felt like he was taking an aspirin...!!!

[It's fine if you force me to practice, but you also want me to kill myself???]

[This guy...]

[He is really not a human being! ! ! ]
