One Piece: New Luffy

In preparation for entering the Grand Line in the future, Luffy patiently taught Nami the seventh Rokushiki technique.

This movement is extremely fierce, mainly targeting the enemy's lips.

At first, Nami learned in a very strange way, obviously she had no prior experience.

And her body was very stiff.

But with the serious discussion between the two, Nami gradually learned some technique through passive learning.

The two kissed passionately for over ten minutes before Luffy reluctantly let go of her.

They both looked at each other with obvious passion in their eyes.

Of course, it was still early in the morning, it wouldn't be suitable for her to learn more advanced combat courses, if it had been at night Luffy wouldn't have ignored it so easily.

However, this unexpected incident actually heated up their relationship a lot.

After finishing breakfast, Luffy happily left the activity room and went to the Sunny's deck.

The warship of the 153rd branch followed in the distance behind the stern.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Luffy saw Zoro in the warship's watchtower, fast asleep with both hands behind his head.

"This guy can still sleep so soundly early in the morning?"

After thinking for a moment, he went back to the warehouse to get two bottles of malted beer and then returned to the deck, holding them in one hand and holding the railing at the stern with the other.

As his arm slowly stretched, he released the tension in his legs.

With a noise, Luffy was launched like a cannonball and accurately arrived at the warship's watchtower.

"Um?"

Apparently hearing some noise, Zoro opened one eye. "Luffy?"

"Here." Luffy handed him a bottle of beer and used his thumb to open the cork of another bottle.

"Thanks." Zoro smiled, and the two drank together.

"If you want to defeat Dracule Mihawk, your current strength is far from enough." Luffy just took a sip before sitting down.

Zoro drank half a bottle in one gulp and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"I know. He's the number one swordsman in the world. If I could defeat him so easily, I wouldn't have waited until now. But my goal is to become the strongest in the world! That won't change. Even if it means have a bad reputation, I want my name to resonate around the world!"

"I admire ambitious people." Luffy smiled and nodded in approval, then shook his head.

"But the world is bigger than you think."

"After years of training and mastering various sword techniques to fight opponents, one can be called a swordsman."

"Understanding the secret of cutting iron and being able to cut steel, one can be called a master swordsman."

"And a powerful individual who can split the land and seas with a single blow can be called a great swordsman."

"Mihawk is the greatest swordsman among great swordsmen."

Upon hearing this description, Zoro couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

"Can someone really do these things with just a sword?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Luffy replied in the affirmative. "Well, you not knowing this is because of the influence of the East Blue itself, known as the weakest sea."

The East Blue is very small and is known as the "weakest sea".

There are very few really skilled people here, although there are many strong and high-level people from East Blue, they generally don't appear in East Blue.

"The Big Line?" Zoro did not lose heart, but instead ignited his fighting spirit.

"That's right, only there will you truly awaken."

Luffy raised the bottle in his hand and said with a smile, "And besides swordsmanship, what you lack now is... Haki."

As he spoke, a black layer quickly spread from his wrist to the bottle.

Zoro was stunned.

"Try to crush it. Your grip strength should be strong, right?"

Luffy aimed the neck of the bottle at Zoro.

Upon hearing this, Zoro extended his hand.

At first, he only exerted a small force, like a glass bottle that could be easily crushed.

But soon his expression changed and then he was shocked.

No matter how much force he exerted, the bottle remained intact, its hardness comparable to that of steel.

"Is that what you call Haki? What is Haki?" he said in disbelief.

"Don't worry, I'll teach you. It's called Armament Haki..."

Luffy smiled slightly, preparing to explain the concept of Haki.

At this moment, screams of Marine soldiers came from beneath the watchtower.

"Zoro-sama, we can see an island now!"

The two turned their attention.

In the distance, at sea level, the outline of an island gradually appeared, and a city port could be faintly seen, along with a large ship.

------

About that.

Orange Town, the port.

Several men positioned on the pirate ship, one of them holding a telescope, also noticed two ships approaching in the distance.

When he saw the warship behind them, his face turned pale.

"Quick! Go report to Captain Buggy, the navy... A navy warship is arriving!"

"What!?"

On the deck behind them, several pirates who were playing poker were equally shocked.

They quickly dropped their cards and gathered around the lookout, snatching the telescope from his hand.

"Let me see!"

"Wait, there's another pirate ship? Are they being chased by the navy? Damn, they're bringing them to our territory!"

"Anyway, go report quickly!"

The smartest one had already disembarked to report in advance.

------

In the center of Orange Town, on the upper balcony of a tall building.

The pirates prepared a feast on the open-air balcony, with all types of food and wine spread out on several long tables.

"Have fun, drink to your heart's content and enjoy the delicious food!"

Wild laughter came from the circus tent.

The pirates shouted, "Captain Buggy! Captain Buggy! Captain Buggy!"

The atmosphere was extremely lively.

At this moment, a panicked pirate ran over, shouting as he ran:

"Something big is happening! Captain Buggy! Pirates are attacking us with the Navy!"

The scene was silent for a moment.

"What?"

From inside the circus tent, a clown with a red nose and a dark expression came out.

"What kind of joke is this, Barny?"

"I'm sorry captain, a pirate ship and a navy warship heading our way! Captain Buggy! Those pirates are trying to take the warship to our territory!" The pirate who delivered the message quickly described the situation.

A tic-tac-toe sign appeared on Buggy's forehead.

The next moment, the pirate was holding his neck, lifted into the air as if by an invisible force.

"B-Buggy... Captain!?" he struggled to speak.

"Why are you panicking, you idiot! It's just a battleship! Boys, bring Buggy's cannon!"

Buggy waved his hand, laughing maniacally, "Hahaha, let's give those damn marines a magnificent fireworks show!! And those foolish pirates who entered this sea area! May they all die magnificently! Ahahaha!"

"Captain Buggy! Captain Buggy! Captain Buggy!"

His subordinates applauded enthusiastically.
