Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

Chapter 45 Ignore the real physical attack

Crane: "The training method Red Luffy taught Buggy seems to be quite good."

Zhan Guo: "Indeed, he was able to develop a method of training a devil fruit in such a short time. His talent is really terrifying!"

Borsalino: "Luckily our Straw Hat boys aren't that hardworking, otherwise we'd be in big trouble!"

Monkey D. Garp: "What a loser!"

Jinbei: "After seeing this, why do I feel like Buggy over there might actually be able to succeed in his training?"

Nami: "You're right, because Luffy... has a trait that makes his friends better and better! Red Luffy over there not only has this trait, but also strictly disciplines himself and his friends. Under such circumstances, if Buggy hasn't succeeded, then he's really a loser!!"

Buggy: "Damn you Nami! Watch your words!"

Nami: "I'm talking about Buggy over there, why are you so excited?"

Bucky: "..."

[For several days, the ship sailed on the sea.]

"If nothing goes wrong, we should reach this coast in two days at most. We need to find someplace to resupply before we can continue sailing."

Bucky points to the location on the nautical chart where a small village, Silobu Village, is marked.

Luffy nodded and threw a knife to Buggy: "Okay, put away the nautical chart and continue training."

[Bucky's face suddenly turned ugly, as if he had eaten shit~~~]

[Practicing again...]

[Bucky got a headache when he heard this! ]

So, he struggled again~~~

“No… I just can’t figure it out. Even if I succeed in my cultivation, what good will it do? It doesn’t seem to be of much use!!”

"This passive separation is a natural counter to slashing attacks, but if it's active, there's no way to secure the weapon for attack unless it's at a joint!!!"

"You can't use slices of my body as darts to kill your target, right?"

[Bucky looks miserable, struggling hard and trembling~~~]

Luffy puts his right thumb in his mouth, jumps lightly, and blows hard! !

[Whew! —]

[His right fist suddenly became as big as a large water tank!]

【"Hello......!"】

Under Buggy's shocked and angry gaze, Luffy's fist suddenly hit Buggy's body~~~]

【boom!!--】

[Baki's body instantly flew towards the sea!!]

[Luffy stretched out his arms and pulled Buggy back from above the sea.]

"You bastard, why don't you just talk when you're supposed to? Why do you resort to violence when you disagree with someone!!!"

[Bucky was about to explode with rage, but there was nothing he could do~~~]

Luffy gestured with his fist: "As you can see, your passive Split can only ignore slashes, but not fists."

[Bucky was furious: "But what does this have to do with cultivation? Even if I cultivate active splitting, won't I still be hit?"]

Luffy shook his head, walked to the corner, grabbed a handful of sand from the sandbag, and threw it lightly.

Then he punched the sand.

[The fist punched through the sand, and the sand fell to the ground. Although it was scattered, it was still the same sand!]

"Actively splitting and slicing is only the first step. My ultimate goal is to cultivate your splitting ability to be as powerful as this sand. By then, you'll be able to ignore both slashes and punches, truly ignoring physical attacks!"

When Hong Lufei said this, the chat room exploded!!!

Holy shit! !

Borsalino: "Wow, that Red Luffy over there is something! He just got a new Devil Fruit, but he can think of such a powerful development direction. It's really amazing!!"

Kuzan: "If the user of the Splitting Fruit can really split the sand to the same extent, wouldn't that be similar to our natural elemental transformation?"

Sakaski: "No..., although the elemental transformation of the nature system can ignore physical attacks, it can be captured by the physical form of Armament Haki. And his ability to split into sand will even greatly weaken the attack effect of Armament Haki!!!"

Crane: "As soon as the attack lands on you, it immediately scatters into sand. You won't take much damage from the power at all."

Gol D. Roger: "Bucky! You can try it too! If you really master it, you will be invincible!!"

Shanks: "Yeah, Buggy, the training ideas Luffy over there provided are really great!!"

【True physical attacks ignore...】

Buggy's heartbeat quickened as Luffy painted his "pie"...

[He stared at the sand on the ground~~~]

Is it really possible to reach that level?

If my ability to split reaches that level, how many beings in this ocean can threaten my existence?

"That bastard Shanks is now one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, while I'm still just a small pirate in the East China Sea..."

Ever since the news of Shanks becoming a Yonko spread across the sea, Buggy has felt an immense sense of desolation whenever he thinks of this contrast!!!

It's like you used to work with someone, but now they drive a Land Rover, and you're riding a used electric scooter. How can you not feel bad about that...?

[And now, Buggy stared at the sand on the ground, his breathing becoming more and more rapid~~~]

If I could really achieve that, I, Buggy, would become a renowned figure in this ocean!!

[Shanks, just wait, I, Buggy, am no worse than you!!!]

Thinking of this, Bucky squatted down, carefully gathered the scattered sand on the ground, took out a bag, filled it up, and hung it around his waist.

"Straw Hat! Although I'm actually very unhappy with you, from now on, I will train according to the method you said!"

"I... once set a lofty goal for myself!"

“But when I started to become decadent, the ideal me gradually drifted away from me~~”

"Now... I'm going to work even harder!!!"

"For no other reason than to catch up with the me that once existed in my ideal world!!!"

[There's a new kind of determination in Buggy's eyes~~~]

[He bends down and picks up the knife from the ground...]

[He slashed towards me without hesitation!! —]

-

Chapter 46: Spendthrift! Do you know how much these pirates are worth?

Shanks: "Great, Buggy over there is going to step up!!"

Silver Baz Rayleigh: "I hope Buggy over there can show us the limits of the Splitting Fruit!"

Kurokus: "When he bent down to pick up the knife just now, there was an unusual determination in his eyes~~~"

Gol D. Roger: "Hey, hey, hey! Buggy, you guys over there are really going to have to work hard! You have to work hard too!"

Bucky: "Captain, I will!"

If anyone else had said that, Bucky would have ignored him.

But since Roger said so, Buggy still has to respond~~~

[Two days later, the boat arrived at Xiluobu Village.]

【Good news also came to Zoro's training! 】

[His observation Haki has finally officially begun! ! ! ]

"Luffy, this feels so good!"

After officially mastering the Observation Haki, Zoro seemed to have opened the door to a new world!!

Compared to now, he felt that his previous battles were like being a deaf and blind person with his eyes covered and ears blocked...

【Now he is a person with all five senses intact! 】

"Huh? I met someone I could travel with!"

Just as the three of them had landed the boat, Buggy turned to look at the cliff on the other side. A pirate ship had emerged and was approaching.

Zoro looked around and frowned. "These pirates...why did they end up in such a remote place?"

Luffy said nonchalantly, "Maybe they're just passing by. Don't worry about them. Let's go to the village to buy supplies!"

[The three of them disembarked and walked up a long ramp.]

[“Hey! Stop!!”]

A pirate wearing a cat head suddenly jumped off the pirate ship and blocked Luffy and his companions.

He pouted arrogantly, glaring at the three of them with a playful expression, "You saw our Black Cat Pirates' pirate flag, and you dared to move it? Did I let you go?"

As the Black Cat Pirates' ship docked, a large number of pirates wearing various cat heads, cat claws, and other clothing rushed over and surrounded the three of them.

"What's going on? Didn't the captain tell us to hide and wait for news? What are you doing?"

[The pirates parted, and a man in a suit wearing heart-shaped glasses walked over.]

[This is Zangao, the vice-captain of the Black Cat Pirates.]

"Captain, we were planning to hide here, but we ran into three people!"

[Foji, a combatant of the Black Cat Pirates, explained.]

[However, when Zangao's eyes fell on those three people, he was suddenly stunned! !]

【Um? ? 】

[“Baki!!——”]

[They were all from the East China Sea area, so of course Zangao recognized Buggy right away.]

"Now that you know me, why don't you get out of here!" Bucky said impatiently.

[Facing Buggy, Zangao was still a little panicked~~~]

[But it’s not as bad as a mouse meeting a cat~~~]

He pondered in his mind that Buggy's bounty was 1500 million berries, while the bounty on their Black Cat Pirates' captain, Momoku Kuro, was 1600 million berries.

[In terms of combat power, Buggy and Chloe are probably evenly matched...]

[Even though their captain just entered the village with his stomach full, Buggy is all alone!!]

[The two guys next to Bucky who looked like interns were automatically ignored by Zangao~~~]

Then, Zangao straightened his collar and said in a stern tone, "Excuse me! Our captain has important matters to attend to in this village. Captain Buggy, please give me some respect and leave on your own accord~~~"

[Give you a favor?]

[Oh my god!]

[Bucky gets angry when he hears this!!!]

[Because Shanks likes to say this catchphrase! ]

Under normal circumstances, Buggy would definitely not have clashed with so many pirates alone, but now that he has Luffy as his backer, he's naturally confident.

[“Who the hell do you think you are?! How dare you talk about face with me???”]

Bucky's hand flew out without hesitation, suddenly grabbing Zangao's neck and lifting him up.

"You bastard, you're looking for death!"

"Go! Save the first officer!"

"How dare he act so arrogantly when he's all alone? Everyone, tickle him to death!!"
