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

Luffy then continued.

"Alright, next I'll teach you two more abilities: domineering!"

...

With exceptional comprehension, Observation Haki and Armament Haki are not difficult to master.

Luffy taught Zoro in just over half an hour.

However, Zoro's current mastery is merely a door that Luffy has opened for him, allowing him to glimpse the basics.

His current level is only that he has developed a certain awareness and can roughly sense that power.

They are not yet proficient in using it, and the results are not significant.

The key to improvement lies in extensive practice and real combat.

...

After opening up a new world for Zoro, Luffy let Zoro practice on his own.

He, meanwhile, activated his comprehension transfer ability to enhance Zoro's training efficiency.

As for Nami, Luffy plans to train her after she has completely and sincerely joined the team.

...

Chapter Twenty-Two: Zoro's Resolve

Orange Town, on the coast.

After several days of sailing, Luffy and his crew finally arrived and landed on the island.

"How strange, why does this town look deserted?"

As soon as he logged in, Uta couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Looking around, the vast town was deserted, desolate and bleak, with no sign of human habitation whatsoever.

"It must have been that pirate Buggy the Clown. I heard he's a real troublemaker; I bet all the townspeople were scared away by him!"

Zoro leisurely shared the information he knew. As a former bounty hunter, he naturally had a good understanding of the pirates in this sea area.

Then, as if remembering something, he added a sentence.

"If I remember correctly, that guy's bounty should be 1500 million Berries!"

"What an exciting number!"

Zoro's lips curled up, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

The average bounty for pirates in the East Blue is only 300 million Berries, so it goes without saying what 1500 million Berries means.

Zoro's strength has increased rapidly these past few days after training using Luffy's training methods.

This had made him eager to find someone to practice on, and now his fighting spirit was ignited.

"What?! 1500 million?! That means..."

Nami gasped in surprise, her expression instantly turning panicked.

I couldn't help but think of Aaron, who had a bounty of 2000 million Berries.

In her eyes, Ah Long was almost invincible.

Only slightly shorter than that Aaron, just how terrifying is this clown Bucky!

"Alright, let's go meet this clown, Bucky!"

Luffy smiled; he was quite eager to meet this guy who was rumored to have Conqueror's Haki and good luck.

Suddenly, several figures emerged from a street.

"One of my men just reported that some annoying insects had infiltrated. So, it must be you guys?!"

One of the men, riding a unicycle and looking rather pretentious with his hands in his pockets, said...

Luffy glanced at the newcomers and saw that they were Cabaji and Mochi, two of Buggy the Clown's top lieutenants, along with his pet lion Riki.

"There are some people who are not afraid of death! Didn't you see our pirate flag flying in the harbor? This is Lord Buggy's territory."

"Or... are you here to die?"

Kabaji pulled out two knives and said with a playful expression.

Luffy made no comment and simply stood there quietly.

At that moment, Zoro took a step forward and said.

"These are just small fry, not worth your time."

"Leave it to me, Captain!"

Zoro said this to Luffy and Uta.

In the past few days, Zoro's understanding of this world has undergone a tremendous change.

Especially after coming into contact with the domain of domineering energy, he realized that there was such a powerful force in this world that was unknown to most people.

This also made him realize that he was too weak at the moment.

He simply couldn't afford to care about opponents of this caliber.

He must get past these small fry as quickly as possible.

Luffy smiled upon hearing this; he had been waiting for Zoro to have this kind of resolve.

Combat is the fastest way to improve your strength.

Such a suitable opponent is the best for Zoro right now.

"let's go!"

Luffy said something to Uta and Nami, then headed off in a certain direction in the town.

Uta followed closely behind, while Nami was filled with doubt and worry.

"Huh?! Aren't you going to leave Zoro behind?"

As soon as Nami finished speaking, a person suddenly flew out from her side.

Kabaji, wielding two swords, slashed down at her with force.

"Give me a glorious death!"

"what..."

A sharp, high-pitched female voice seemed to pierce her eardrums. Nami covered her head and remained motionless.

when!

The crisp sound of weapons clashing rang out.

Zoro, wielding his twin swords, blocked Cabaji's attack.

"Your opponent... is me!"

Having escaped mortal danger, Nami dared not linger any longer and quickly caught up with Luffy.

...

The roof of a building on the island.

"You bastard, who are you calling red-nosed?"

Bucky, dressed as a clown with a red ball on his nose, is angrily questioning one of his henchmen.

The subordinate trembled with fear upon seeing Bucky's anger and stammered.

"Captain Buggy, I meant that Lord Cabaji and Lord Mochi didn't seem to stop those pirates. They're heading this way. They didn't mention that you're Red Nose!"

Upon hearing this, Bucky became even angrier.

"You bastard... how dare you... call me... Red Nose."

Bucky roared in a deep voice, finally exploding with his last sentence.

The surrounding subordinates were all terrified when they saw this scene.

"It's about to start!"

"The power of that Devil Fruit."

Suddenly, Bucky's hand broke off at the wrist and flew through the air to grab the henchman by the neck, lifting him up.

"Tell me...who am I?"

"Captain Bucky... Captain Bucky!"

What happens if you offend me?

"Hua...died in a magnificent way. I was wrong, Captain Bucky, I will never say such things again."

boom!

As soon as Bucky let go, the henchman fell to the ground.

"Hmph! I'll forgive you this time even if you said something wrong."

With that, Bucky tossed his cloak aside, turned, and walked toward the tent behind him.

"Hey, red nose!"

Just then, a voice came from behind Bucky as he turned around.

Upon hearing this, Buggy froze, while all the pirates around him trembled with fear.

"What exactly is it...?"

Bucky said in a deep voice, then suddenly turned around and roared.

"Which bastard is looking for death?!"

When Bucky turned around, he saw a man and two women standing opposite him.

The man was smiling and waving at him.

One woman was calm, the other was nervous.

Just as Bucky was about to continue his rage, he suddenly noticed the straw hat on the man's head and paused in surprise.

questioned.

"Where...did you get that straw hat?"

Luffy took off his straw hat and said.

"This was given to me by Shanks."

Upon hearing Shanks' name, Bucky frowned and said angrily.

"It really was that bastard!"

boom!

No sooner had Bucky finished speaking than he was punched in the nose.

He felt a sudden dizziness, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.

He crashed into the tent behind him and fell to the ground.

"Don't speak ill of Shanks."

Uta gritted her teeth angrily.

Ever since the incident with the bandit Higuma, what she hates most now is anyone speaking ill of Shanks.

This scene left the surrounding pirates dumbfounded.

"That woman actually... knocked Captain Bucky down with a single punch!"

"Hey! Really? That's Captain Buggy! The legendary pirate with a bounty of 1500 million Berries!"

"Who...who are they?"

Nami couldn't help but glance at Uta, her eyes filled with shock.
