That night marked the first celebration in the history of the Straw Hat Pirates, albeit with only two participants.
"Ahhh, sailing on the sea is really boring! Logan, what are you doing?" Luffy complained the next morning, finding Logan in his studio.
Despite joining the Straw Hat Pirates, Logan wasn't one to idle away his time. While the god-level manga system provided a significant advantage, he remained dedicated to drawing Mangas. This routine not only increased his defense and speed but also granted him the power to protect himself, even if the output was still at zero.
Maintaining his routine from his previous life, Logan would rise at 7 in the morning to start drawing Mangas.
"Hey, Luffy, you're up," Logan greeted, glancing at the clock—it was only 8 o'clock.
Observing Luffy's belly, Logan marveled at its swift recovery. He recalled Luffy turning into a big ball after consuming a lot of food the night before.
What an enviable digestive system.
Luffy approached, pulling out a hand-drawn nautical chart from his pocket.
"I don't know if the direction we guessed last night is correct. If we sail like this, do you think we can reach the next island?"
While talking, Luffy nudged the nautical chart toward Logan, indicating for him to inspect it.
Logan, unimpressed by the abstract chart, pushed it back with a hint of disdain. Even a god-level Mangaka found it challenging to decipher.
"Well, don't worry. I trust your judgment!" Luffy reassured, expressing complete faith in Logan's decisions since they decided to team up with the Straw Hat Pirates.
The man exuded a protagonist's aura, making his decisions infallible in Logan's eyes.
"Great! Since you agree with my judgment, it seems like I must have guessed right!" Luffy declared, placing the nautical chart back in his possession. He then leaned over Logan's desk, eyes wide with enthusiasm, and exclaimed : "Whoa, this person in your drawing can actually control lightning! It's amazing!"
"Hold on! The paint isn't dry yet!" Logan protested.
Seeing Luffy's keen interest in his Mangas, Logan sensed a looming disaster. Luffy, known for his impulsive nature, could easily wreak havoc in his Manga studio.
"It's okay, I'll just take a look. Don't worry about it too much," Luffy reassured.
"Don't worry? The more you say that, the more worried I get," Logan muttered under his breath.
Even though the destruction of these Mangas wouldn't affect Logan's strength, the effort he put into creating them made their potential destruction emotionally impactful.
"Come on, captain. If you have nothing to do, go outside and see where our ship is. Maybe the island is approaching," Logan suggested, getting up and leading Luffy out of the studio.
"Okay then, I'll come and have a look when you go to bed at night~~" Luffy's response made Logan cringe.
Why is he fixated on my Mangas?
Being familiar with One Piece's plot and Luffy's tenacious nature, Logan knew that once Luffy found something interesting, he wouldn't let it go.
Deciding on a strategy, Logan glanced at the bookshelf and pulled out a copy of "Akame Ga Kill."
Interested in manga?
Well, let's try this manga and see if it depresses him enough to lose interest in my Mangas.
Logan handed "Akame Ga Kill" to Luffy, saying, "Here, this manga is very suitable for you. Take it back and read it slowly. If you ever want to read manga in the future, let me know. Just promise me one thing—never come to my studio when I'm not around."
"Hee hee! Received!" Luffy exclaimed, joyfully raising his hands as he dashed out with the manga in hand.
"Hey... Luffy, it's not a joke. I'm serious; I really don't want my studio demolished by you. I hope 'Akame Ga Kill' can curb your interest in Mangas," Logan called out, shaking his head, and closed the door.
Meanwhile, Luffy, armed with "Akame Ga Kill," went to the deck for a brief lookout. Failing to spot the island's silhouette, he settled down and immersed himself in the Manga.
"Yeah! Let's go for the boy of dreams!" Luffy cheered, captivated by the Manga's depiction of Tatsumi, Ieyasu, and Sayo embarking on a journey to save their poor village.
As he followed the characters, Luffy saw shades of himself, Ace, and Sabo in their adventures. Once upon a time, his dream was for the three of them to set sail together.
Observing this scene now in the pages of the Manga, Luffy felt a warm sensation in his heart.
"Logan was right. 'Akame Ga Kill' is truly a good manga!" Luffy sighed with contentment.
"That's amazing! The three of them can embark on the journey of their dreams together, which is really enviable!" Luffy exclaimed joyfully as he continued flipping through the pages.
"Wow! Tatsumi is so strong! He killed this dangerous species by himself, so powerful!" Luffy marveled.
"Although he and his little friend are temporarily separated, they will definitely get in touch when they arrive in the imperial capital."
"Yeah! Tatsumi has finally arrived in the imperial capital, and he will meet his little friend soon, right?"
"Huh? This recruiter is an idiot! He kicked Tatsumi out."
"Damn it, how did this bad woman cheat Tatsumi of his money! Why aren't there many good people in the imperial capital?"
"Hey~? You're being hasty! Miss Alia, who helped Tatsumi, is a very nice person, as gentle as Makino!"
...
This was Luffy's first experience reading Mangas. Like many fans introduced to Mangas for the first time, he quickly fell into the plot's rhythm, unable to put it down.
"Ah! Bastards!! These bastards of the night raid team, why did they kill the gentle and lovely Miss Alia!" Luffy erupted in anger when he witnessed the night raid team assaulting Miss Alia's house in the imperial capital.
It's so intense!
Eager to see the chapter where these night raid squads are dealt with, Luffy turned to the next page. However, when the tragic scene unfolded...
"Nani!!?" A complex mix of shock, disbelief, and unacceptance flashed across Luffy's face.
Luffy... is about to be shock...
As the plot unfolded, Luffy gradually grasped the dynamic between justice and evil in the Manga.
"Bastard!! These people are a million times more hateful than the nobles of Goa Kingdom!!" Luffy exclaimed, expressing his intense emotions toward the story.
Observing the corrupt actions of the nobles and officials, Luffy's internal anger reached its boiling point!
"Why are these innocent people being executed!?" Luffy couldn't contain his fury.
"Bastard! Stop the damn executioner!"
"Ahhh! I want to beat this group of scumbags away!"
...
Unable to bear the sight of innocent people about to be executed in the square, Luffy's frustration reached a breaking point.
He looked up to the sky and roared angrily: "Asshole! Stop it! ——"
Boom! — The sound of thunder echoed through the air.
Tick-tock...
Raindrops pattered on the ground, splashing on Luffy's legs. The executioner on the platform froze in astonishment, gazing downward. The crowd around stared in shock; their attention fixated on Luffy.
"Ah~...?" Luffy, sensing the collective gaze, looked down at his open palm, where the cold raindrops landed.
What's happening? This rain, this sensation...It's all real! Shouldn't I be on Logan's boat?
Luffy stomped the ground.
"This... is this person crazy?"
"How dare he openly behave like this!"
"Crazy! This is a capital offense!" The crowd around Luffy reacted with shock and disapproval.
After a brief period of shock, the surrounding crowd erupted into horrified discussions.
In a corner not far away, Mine and Tatsumi were watching the execution, having come to the imperial capital to gather information. While they wanted to save the people being executed, their rationality forced them to give up on such a dangerous act. However, the sudden appearance of the straw hat boy left them utterly dumbfounded.
Tatsumi widened his eyes and exclaimed, "No, that brave boy is about to suffer!"
"Idiot! Why is he so reckless? Not only can't he save anyone, but he'll put himself in danger," Mine clenched her small fists, feeling annoyed at Luffy's impulsive behavior.
"Bastard! What are you doing!"
Oka, the captain of the imperial capital's defense, roared in anger. "Continue the execution! They are criminals who slandered the minister; they should be executed immediately!"
"What about that person?"
"Go after him! You dare to disturb the execution of the soldiers of the empire; you deserve death!"
Amidst the anger of Captain Oka, another soldier broke through the crowd and rushed toward Luffy.
On the execution platform, after the executioners regained their senses, they raised their butcher Sword high again.
"Although I don't know why i appeared here, but ah... this is just as I wished!!——"
Luffy stomped his feet and jumped high using the force of his rubber-like body.
"Rubber Gun!!—"
Boom!
As an executioner raised his sword, his head got punch, and he fell to the ground instantly.
"What!!! How can his hands stretch so long?"
"Oh my god, did I get dazzled just now???"
"I heard that among the strong men in Imperial Fist, there is an existence that can manipulate their own bodies to attack!"
"Could it be that he is also from Imperial Fist? But why would people from Imperial Fist come to deal with the imperial guards?"
Ignoring the shock of the surrounding crowd, Luffy punched one of the executioners flying, grabbed the execution frame, and pulled his body onto the execution platform.
"Kill him!" Several executioners shouted fiercely and lunged at Luffy.
Swish!
"Rubber Whip!"
Luffy's leg transformed into a long whip, thrashing left and right. The executioners, who proved to be no match for him, were swiftly knocked out.
"You want to die!!" The enraged Captain Oka, a formidable swordsman, drew his sword and charged onto the execution platform. "I'm going to chop you into pieces!"
"I'll beat you up first!"
Rubber Gutling gun! — Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! ...
Fists fell like a rainstorm , relentlessly pummeling Captain Oka's body. He was tossed around like a rag doll.
Boom! — With the final punch, Oka's body shot up into the sky like a cannonball, traversing several rooftops before disappearing from view.

[Fruit proficiency +1000!]
[Haki prototype experience value +1000!]
Above Luffy's head, an invisible transparent interface displayed a few prompts.
