Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"Are you kidding me, or have you lost your mind?"

"They are the benefactors of the whole town!"

...

Nami was stunned to see all the townspeople speaking up for them, who were pirates.

Aren't pirates evil beings?

Why are these people speaking up for these pirates now?

Are there really pirates who are loved by everyone?

Nami glanced at Luffy, her feelings a mix of emotions.

At that moment, Luffy suddenly stood up, and all the townspeople immediately fell silent.

Then, Luffy picked up the straw hat next to him, put it on his head, and said to Uta and the others.

"Okay, we should go."

Upon hearing this, Uta, Zoro, Nami, and the others all stood up and came to Luffy's side.

The townspeople wanted to persuade him to stay, but then they saw Luffy smile at them.

"Thank you all for your hospitality."

After saying that, Luffy led the group towards the shore.

Although they had done a good deed for this town, the pirates and the navy ultimately had different stances, and besides, they were all full and there was no need for them to stay.

"Your comprehension is extraordinary, and through personal experience, your spirit has been enhanced."

"Your spirit has been enhanced, and your Conqueror's Haki has been strengthened."

"Your overall strength has achieved a breakthrough."

Ok?

finally...

Luffy looked at the information in his mind and was secretly delighted.

The notification of a breakthrough in strength was a small function he had developed over the years based on his understanding of combat power in the pirate world from his previous life, relying on his extraordinary comprehension.

It allows him to more clearly realize his current combat strength level.

His breakthrough this time was a successful promotion to the rank of Vice Admiral at the Navy Headquarters.

However, his rank of lieutenant general is an average value.

In other words, his current combat strength is not just at the threshold of lieutenant general, but is already in the middle range of lieutenant general combat strength.

Of course, Garp is an exception and is not included in this calculation.

And another crucial point is...

This power calculation only considers abilities relevant to the One Piece world; Luffy's Eight Gates technique was not included because there was no comparable method.

Therefore, if Luffy doesn't activate the Eight Gates, he's currently considered to be at the level of a Vice Admiral in the Marine Headquarters.

If he were to activate the Eight Gates Formation, he would definitely be able to fight against a candidate for general.

As for the Eight Gates, Luffy can now open the seventh gate.

The threshold for the eighth gate is still too high. It requires not only strong physical fitness but also a huge amount of energy.

For example, in the Naruto world, this energy is chakra.

Here, however, this energy is domineering.

Although Luffy has been training, his Armament Haki and Observation Haki have been steadily improving.

But the effect is definitely not as fast as improving by fighting against others.

As for Conqueror's Haki, he has been staying in the small town of Windmill Village and has hardly encountered any events that could enhance it.

Even though he could still improve by sparring with Ace, Ace's Conqueror's Haki only awakened at the age of 10, making him significantly weaker than him, so the improvement would not be as significant.

Therefore, his current Conqueror's Haki is still somewhat lacking compared to top-tier characters like Garp and Shanks.

However, opening up to the seventh door is enough for now.

He hasn't awakened his Devil Fruit powers yet, and even if he opens the Eighth Gate, he wouldn't dare use them.

So it doesn't affect anything.

After sorting out his current strength and information, Luffy suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Wait, what's this guy?!"

"You guys are in the same group, right?"

The one who spoke was the captain from before.

At that moment, he was pointing at Koby, who was standing there dumbfounded.

Luffy, with his Observation Haki, knew everything and spoke without even turning his head.

"We don't know that guy."

After saying that, he ignored the gazes of the sailors and continued walking towards the shore.

Seeing this, the captain, though preoccupied with his own thoughts, said nothing more, but suddenly stood at attention and loudly announced an order.

"Everyone... salute!"

At his command, hundreds of marines immediately saluted Luffy and his crew in farewell, with Coby among them.

Seeing this "absurd" scene, Nami struggled even more internally.

Even the Navy has acknowledged this group of pirates, so why would she still say Luffy and his crew are just as scum as other pirates?

Chapter Twenty-One: Ultimate Body Tempering Technique

The Buggy Pirates are currently based on a small island called Orange Town.

After leaving Shells Town, Luffy and his crew headed towards Orange Town.

Buggy has a nautical chart of the Grand Line, which Luffy absolutely must obtain.

With a nautical chart, he could know the distribution and location of the various islands, so that he could go to the places he wanted to go.

Besides that, Luffy actually has another purpose.

That is to use his extraordinary comprehension to learn the method of making special Bucky bombs from Bucky.

The specially designed Pakistani bomb is extremely powerful, and unlike ordinary artillery shells that explode at the end, it destroys everything in its path like a shockwave.

Luffy still remembers that in the original story, a single specially made Buggy bomb destroyed houses in several streets, and the explosion even spread from the island all the way to the coast.

Two years later, Paki improved it, turning it into the "Machi" shell, which was just as powerful but only the size of a pea.

Buggy, on the other hand, severely injured the prison guard beast, whose Devil Fruit had awakened, with a single Magi cannonball.

If Luffy could learn this technique, he would definitely be able to produce the Magi cannonballs ahead of time.

It's even possible to optimize it through extraordinary comprehension, making it even more powerful and versatile.

When the time comes, using his improved Buggy bombs to arm the pirate ships and crew will definitely greatly enhance their overall combat power.

...

It takes some time to get to Orange Town.

Luffy, on the other hand, plans to begin training Zoro during this period.

On the deck of Alvida's pirate ship, Zoro, shirtless, was training alone.

After witnessing Luffy's strength, Zoro became even more diligent.

"We must match Luffy's fighting strength as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, I would be doing a terrible job as the swordsman on the Pirate King's ship."

Zoro gritted his teeth, his whole body covered in sweat, thinking to himself.

"Let's stop for a moment, Zoro!"

Luffy walked over at that moment, interrupting Zoro's training.

"What's wrong, Luffy? Is something the matter?"

Zoro looked puzzled, but he still listened to Luffy and stopped for the time being.

Luffy smiled and said.

"I'm going to teach you a completely new way of cultivation, and I'll also teach you two new abilities."

"Based on the training method I teach you, your training efficiency will increase by more than 10 times."

"ten times?!"

Zoro's pupils dilated in shock as he stared at Luffy in disbelief and exclaimed.

When he saw that Luffy didn't seem to be joking, his eyes lit up with excitement and anticipation.

At that moment, Luffy spoke seriously.

"Focus on your mind. I will now transmit the key techniques of the [Extreme Body Tempering Technique] into your mind."

【Limitless Body Tempering Technique】is a training method that Luffy has accumulated over the years, summarizing through his own experience and extraordinary comprehension.

This training method can fully develop the body's potential through three dimensions: breathing, meditation, and daily training.

Special breathing techniques can be used to conserve energy to the maximum extent or to maximize the activation of the body's energy.

Simply put, it can increase the user's stamina or burst damage.

The training method is a set of methods that Luffy developed himself to maximize training efficiency and comprehensively improve physical fitness.

Meditation serves as a bridge to combine breathing and training.

The improvements brought about by each breath and training can be combined and integrated through meditation.

This is the principle behind the [Limited Body Tempering Technique].

If one masters this training method, it can increase the training efficiency of an ordinary person by more than three times.

With Luffy's extraordinary comprehension, efficiency can be maximized, and depending on each person's aptitude, it can be at least 10 times more efficient.

Currently, besides Luffy, only Uta knows this method.

Unfortunately, Luffy only figured this out when he was 15 years old; Ace had already set sail a year earlier and hadn't had a chance to enjoy it.

...

Although he didn't know what Luffy meant, Zoro still did as he was told, closing his eyes and carefully sensing the world in his mind.

Just then, he suddenly felt a surge of fresh blood flowing into his brain from somewhere unknown.

At the same time, his mind was suddenly bombarded with an enormous amount of information.

What Zoro found amazing was that he was now like a manager overseeing his entire mind, easily categorizing and summarizing all the new and unknown information, making it exceptionally clear and easy to understand.

When Zoro understood the contents of that new information, he was immediately shocked and attracted, becoming deeply engrossed and captivated by it.

A few hours later.

Zoro opened his eyes, which were filled with light, as if he were seeing a completely new world.

"This... Luffy..."

He looked at Luffy in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and excitement. He had a thousand words in his heart, but they all turned into gratitude as he spoke to Luffy.

"Thank you!"

Luffy smiled and said.

“You are my crew member, it is my duty to teach you these things.”

"Besides, only when you become stronger can you better assist me, right?"

Zoro's expression hardened and his aura was full of determination upon hearing this.

"Oh!!!"
