Nie Long than activated the Devil Fruit Power system, Then Luffy, Robin, Chopper and Brook immediately felt the changes in them. After six months the initial Sadness of Ace's illusion has been washed away in 6 months of time but they kept the determination. But the one with the most changes here is Franky. He built himself a huge body with metal mecha. Similar to General Franky with big body and thin Legs.
He got Energy Gun Series Weapons, Heavy Artillery set weapons, Mechanical Extendable Blade, Mechanical Hammer and series of Weapons. Nie Long had given him the series of knowledge for Mechanical Pulgalist in the God's Domain. He has activated his mechanical Force.
Luffy, Chopper, Ussopp seeing Franky " Awesome 🤩🤩🤩 " Franky showed his big fist upwards with his classic Pose and said " SUPER!!!! " Luffy fainted from Shock " So cool!!! " Nie Long then called out " Ok guys time to get some Serious Practice. " Then everyone came to him.
Nie Long " Luffy, till now you have been training like non devil fruit user like Sanji and Zoro. But now you have to familiar with your Devil Fruit Powers. So let's have a Spar with me so you can familiarise with your new strength. " Luffy " Wooshh!!! I am ready '' he replied enthusiastic. The Nie Long changed the battlefield to a Forest where only two of them are fighting. And the rest of the Straw Hats are watching the fight in a Screen in white Room.
Luffy at first tried " Gum Gum Pistal " Nie Long easily dodged by side stopping. But Luffy's punch Shattered a huge Piece of Rock to pieces. In the white Room, Nami " Woah! He shattered a huge rock with just a normal attack. " For that Ying Yueru said " Nie Long said in this world all the powers are directly related to physical strength. One person can maximize the use of his Devil Fruit only with the help of a powerful Physique and there are very few exceptions in it. And it is also the same for a Swordsman. "
Brook '' Yueru San, Is my Revive Revive fruit comes under that exception? " Ying Yueru replied " Yes, Your fruit does not require strong physique but it requires strong Mental Strength. Your Fruits Potential is very huge. And Nie Long once said that if he could help you awaken. He may even can bring back the Dead back to Life with his resources. And you may also use the power of Nether world with your attacks. " Ussopp " Ooii!! That sounds super scary. "
Zoro and Sanji just looked at the screen, In the battle. Luffy then tried some of his moves but they were lightly off the target. Nie Long did not comment on anything. Later Luffy gradually got his control over his attacks, Nie Long also was effortlessly fighting with him.
Luffy placed his fist on the ground " Second Gear!! " soon his body released steam, Nie Long smiled Luffy just vanished and punched Nie Long, where Nie Long blocked it. Soon both of them moved at incredible speeds and there were massive shock waves from their fist collisions. Soon Luffy placed his Tumb in his mouth and blew it.
Luffy " Third Gear, Giant Pistal " He suddenly enlarged his fist. He striked with full force towards Nie Long. Nie Long also stood in a attack stance and launched a punch almost equal to Luffy's current strength. The Shockwave of this fists Cleared the surrounding trees and Rocks as if at the centre of Explosion. Luffy was thrown away and Nie Long stood at the same place.
Nie Long " That's enough, we can stop it right here. " Luffy and Nie Long came out of the Training, Luffy " Hey this is not fair! I just got started. " Nami " Knocked his head with a Punch." Just listen to him. " Nie Long " Ok, now this is what your real strength of your body outside. When you get out of the VR, it will be difficult to adapt to the change. So after the next Six Months training. You must consolidate the changes and get used to the original time flow in the next few days. "
Now Nie Long said " Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Ussopp you guys will train with me on battle. Chopper on the mean time, you will learn pharmacy with Ying Yueru. " He then turned to Robin and Nami " Gu Lan will teach you the Staff Training to Nami and Marine Six Styles to Robin. " He then turned to Brook and sent a file directly to his soul. Brook " What is this? What is this new information? " Nie Long said " Brook, That is a Mind Cultivation Technique to excersize the Mental Powers. Use this To communicate with the Netherworld and harness it's power. "
He atlast turned to Franky " You have learnt Enough knowledge in the VR, you have to exit the VR and then you must turn your knowledge into strength. We have 1 month time before Ace's death. You must utilise this One Month to increase your fire Power and Upgrade Sunny's Fire Power. "
Franky nodded and left. Then everyone respective set of Persons left to each training simulations. Nie Long, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Ussopp and Chopper came to a Jungle with many big beasts present. Nie Long " What I am about to teach you guys is known as Haki. Haki is the necessary skill for a strong person to have it in the second half of the Grand Line. There are three types of Haki " as he said that he walked towards a Ape which is 12 ft tall.
After provoking the beast. He turned towards Luffy and the others and said " The First is Observation Haki, which is used to sense attacks, dangers and presence of others. " As he was saying this the Ape attacked him. But Nie Long dodged them with ease by without even looking at it. " Luffy and the others were dumbfounded. Suddenly Ussopp " It is the Mantra that Enel and the others used. " Then all got the clarity. Nie Long " Yes, the Skypeans call it Mantra. Now the second one is Armament Haki. "
This time when The Ape was about to hit Nie Long, he turned and placed his Palm and the Ape got rebounded by his attack. Chopper " What just happened!? " Luffy, Zoro and Sanji also looked in astonishment. Nie Long " This is a Energy that is like a layer of energy that is formed above our skin or weapons, even bullets to attack others. It's main advantage is .. " he stopped and walked to Luffy and flicked his finger on his fore head. Luffy " Ahhh, It hurts!!!! " Nie Long continued " It can attack the Devil Fruit Person, even Logia can be affected. and only way to defeat a Logia person if there is no other way to restrain him. "
" And the Last one is the conqueror Haki " He turned to the Ape. This time he released his Conquerors Haki. The Ape Beast was afraid and took a step back and suddenly it fainted from the pressure. Nie Long " This is not obtained by training but it was a inherited by birth. That is what the people of this world say. But it is not, this Haki is only be awakened by the people with unwavering will. And I know that you got that will Luffy. "
He turned and said " I will teach you guys Haki for the Next Six Months in the VR. Are you ready. "
