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

"Father, Luffy is in your hands now."

"Leave him to me with confidence. I will definitely train him into the best navy."

"Be a good boy and listen to Grandpa, Luffy."

Not long after Luffy was born, his mother handed him over to Garp.

She then kissed him on the forehead, and for some unknown reason, went out to sea and left.

Watching his mother, whom he had only met once, gradually disappear into the sea, Luffy couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He knew too little about his mother.

I have absolutely no idea how to keep them.

This inevitable departure reminded him of the scene in the original story where Ace died in front of Luffy.

In a daze, Luffy's vision went black, and his consciousness was transported to a scene from a memory.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

"Look closely, it's Whitebeard."

On the execution platform, Sengoku gave the order, and the two executioners beside him raised their large swords high, ready to cut Ace's neck.

"stop!"

Seeing this, Luffy roared angrily, but still could not break through the blockade.

As the two large swords descended lower and lower, Luffy's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he roared with all his might.

"Stop it!"

Instantly, an unparalleled aura swept outwards from Luffy's center.

Countless naval pirates on the entire battlefield immediately stopped moving, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted.

...

As the images in my mind disappeared.

Garp, who was holding Luffy, suddenly shuddered and subconsciously looked at the baby in his arms, his eyes trembling.

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from Luffy's body.

A terrifying purplish-black lightning bolt, centered on Luffy, unleashed a powerful shockwave that swept outwards, engulfing the entire island.

Without exception, all the residents of the island, and the vast majority of the navy, rolled their eyes and lost consciousness.

"This...this is..."

Garp stared in shock at the sleeping baby in his arms, so excited he was incoherent.

After a long while, Garp, having recovered, slowly uttered a sentence.

"Are you a born king, Luffy?!"

...

Time flies by.

Seven years later.

East China Sea, Windmill Village, next to the woods behind the village.

Luffy lay flat on the grass, his arm as a pillow, legs crossed, gazing quietly at the sky.

I have been in this world for seven years.

For the past seven years, Garp has been unable to take care of him because of his status as a naval officer.

So Luffy grew up eating food from every household in Windmill Village.

Among them, the one who cared for him the most was Makino, who ran the tavern in the village.

Because of his extraordinary comprehension, he quickly learned and mastered basic life skills under Makino's tutelage.

After that, he began to cultivate on his own.

By now, he has mastered the Eight Gates Formation to the point where he can open up to the fifth gate.

In Naruto, during the Chunin Exams, Rock Lee opened the Fifth Gate, breaking through Gaara's invincible defense and severely injuring him.

Of course, besides physical skills, he also cultivates domineering abilities.

He awakened Conqueror's Haki spontaneously at birth.

As for Observation Haki and Armament Haki, it's not difficult to learn them from Garp and a group of Marines from Marine Headquarters through their extraordinary comprehension, given their frequent contact with them.

However, he can only improve his Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

Conqueror's Haki can only be strengthened as the individual grows and their spirit improves.

Therefore, he only honed his mastery of it to a level of consummate skill.

He can now easily control his Conqueror's Haki to only use it on a specific target.

"Coo coo coo coo..."

"I'm so hungry, it's about time to go back."

Gathering his thoughts, Luffy rubbed his rumbling stomach, then sprang to his feet and headed back to the village.

...

"Magino, I'm back."

As Luffy approached the tavern, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter and noise coming from inside.

"Any guests?"

Luffy muttered something to himself and then pushed the door open and went inside.

Suddenly, a scene of unparalleled joy and liveliness came into view.

Inside the tavern, two men were exchanging punches.

The surrounding area was filled with spectators holding wine glasses and cheering him on.

Soon, Luffy spotted a somewhat familiar man with a full head of red hair in the crowd.

Shanks!!!

Chapter 3: Strengthening Conqueror's Haki

"Luffy, welcome back."

"Are you hungry? I've prepared your meal!"

When Luffy came in, Makino greeted him warmly.

Even though Luffy didn't mention it, she seemed to have expected it and brought out a large plate of food.

Luffy went to the bar, sat down next to Shanks, and began to inhale rapidly.

"Oh?! So young, yet you eat so much?"

Seeing Luffy's appetite far exceeding that of an average adult, Shanks couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Ugh... ugh... this isn't enough!"

Luffy's mouth was stuffed full, and he managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"Ugh...cough...water...water..."

While speaking, Luffy was caught off guard and choked, painfully reaching out his hand to Makino.

"Haha, what an interesting little rascal!"

Shanks laughed loudly and casually pushed a cup toward Luffy.

Luffy didn't hesitate and took the cup to drink.

"Mr. Shanks, that's alcohol. Luffy is still a child and can't drink alcohol."

Seeing Luffy drinking from a wine glass in large gulps, Makino said worriedly.

"Hahaha! What does it matter?! A real man should drink. This kid looks like a real man."

Shanks, however, didn't seem to care at all and laughed heartily.

Due to years of training, Luffy's body looks very strong and muscular.

Furthermore, due to his "rapid digestion" ability, Luffy has absorbed far more nutrients than his peers over the years, which is why he is taller than in the original story.

That's why Shanks gave such an evaluation.

"Don't worry, Makino, I won't get drunk."

After finishing a large glass of wine in one gulp, Luffy put down the glass and made a promise to Makino.

Despite this, Makino still firmly rejected him.

"No, you can't drink anymore, Luffy."

After saying that, she handed a glass of water to Luffy and took Shanks' wine glass.

Luffy held this "motherly" figure in high esteem and nodded in acceptance.

"Are you called Luffy? I'm Shanks, the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates."

Shanks looked at Luffy with great interest and greeted him politely.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King."

After Luffy finished speaking, he continued eating.

Unexpectedly, after he said those words, the originally noisy and bustling tavern instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared at Luffy, who was engrossed in his meal, with strange looks, remaining silent for a long time.

"Luffy, you're saying strange things again. If Mr. Garp hears you, he'll scold you again."

Makino whispered her advice.

"The Pirate King? What an amazing dream."

Shanks let out a sigh, and his gaze toward Luffy held even more admiration.

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed to Luffy's side.

Immediately afterwards, a sweet, somewhat childish female voice rang in Luffy's ears.

"Shanks is the one who should become the Pirate King. Stop dreaming."

Luffy turned his head and looked around. Standing next to him was a girl with half red and half white hair and a fashionable outfit.

At this moment, she was puffing out her cheeks, staring intently at Luffy.

He recognized the girl at a glance; it was Uta, the daughter Shanks had found.

"And what about you, a kid like you? Do you even know what One Piece is? You're just spouting nonsense here."

Uta continued to argue, expressing his dissatisfaction with Luffy, a mere child, saying such things.

Because Shanks had explained the meaning of the Pirate King to her, she always believed that only Shanks could become the Pirate King.

Luffy's irresponsible remarks were disrespectful to Shanks.

"The Pirate King is the freest person on the entire sea."

Luffy squeezed out another sentence during a break from eating.

As soon as he said those words, he had already figured out how to retaliate against Uta, but he was immediately stunned.

Because that's exactly what Shanks meant when he explained it to her.

Even Shanks and the rest of the Red-Haired Pirates, who had been watching from the sidelines, were shocked by Luffy's words.

Who would have thought that a child who looks only seven or eight years old would have such knowledge?

"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."

A prompt suddenly appeared in Luffy's mind, which made him overjoyed.
