Chương 23: Chapter 23 : If I Punch This, You Will Die
Sengoku: "What!!? Am I seeing things right? Luffy... that's Conqueror's Infusion!?"
Monkey D. Garp: "Pfft! Is this a joke!? Wasn't he supposed to awaken Conqueror's Haki at age 9?"
Kuzan: "Awaken at 9... and the word 'supposed'..."
Tsuru: "Awakening Conqueror's at 9 and mastering Conqueror's Infusion by 14... Garp, your grandson is unbelievably talented!"
Monkey D. Garp: "Ugh... ah... ugh... ah..."
Garp couldn't get a word out. The stronger the talent demonstrated by the red Luffy over there, the more it emphasized how much potential was being wasted by his Luffy…
Over there, Conqueror's Infusion at 14, while my grandson here can't even use Armament Haki…
The gap is enormous!!!

Sabaody Archipelago.
Listening to the chat room, Kid was stunned. He looked at the others in confusion: "Conqueror's Haki can be infused? Why can't I do that?"
"Don't look at me. I don't even have Conqueror's!" Capone Bege said with disdain, noticing Kid's gaze.
Basil Hawkins smirked. "Same here. No Conqueror's for me."
"No need to look, just make sure you've got Conqueror's Haki first."
Trafalgar Law crossed his arms and leaned against a rock. "But... seems like your talent, compared to the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, is worlds apart..."
"You b*****d!! I'll kill you!!"
Furious at being belittled by Law in comparison to Luffy, Kid was about to explode!
But Trafalgar Law didn't seem phased at all. He pointed up to the sky: "Save it! With this viewing system, we can only sit back and watch the show."
Kid's chest heaved, filled with rage, but he could only swallow it for now. He turned his focus to the chat room, trying to shake off his frustration.

In the chat room, the conversation continued with excitement.
Gol D. Roger: "Whitebeard, do you remember when you mastered Conqueror's Infusion?"
Edward Newgate: "Hmmm, can't say for sure, but I think I awakened Conqueror's Haki around seventeen or eighteen. Took me another ten years or so to master Conqueror's Infusion."
Gol D. Roger: "Oh my~ You mastered it around thirty, same as me. Rayleigh took even longer! Compared to Luffy, we're all talentless fools…"
Silvers Rayleigh: "Who's to argue? I only mastered Conqueror's Infusion a few years after you, Roger."
Kozuki Oden: "Well, at least I'm not as trash as you three. I mastered Conqueror's Infusion by twenty-seven."
Gol D. Roger: "Wahahaha! Looks like we're all garbage. Speaking of which, what about Shiki? When did he master it?"
Shiki: "Damn it, Roger, you're mocking me on purpose, aren't you?"
Gol D. Roger: "Oops, my bad! I forgot you don't have it!"
Charlotte Linlin: "So Shiki doesn't have Conqueror's Haki? Tsk tsk... and here I thought we were on the same level back in the day."
Kaido: "Worororo!! Imagine a guy without Conqueror's Haki thinking he can be our equal!"
Shiki: "Damn it! What are you guys so proud of? If I had Conqueror's Haki, I'd be better than all of you! Look at yourselves, even with Conqueror's, compared to the red Luffy, you're all just trash!"
While the big shots argue, the Straw Hat Pirates are left in awe of the red Luffy's overwhelming strength. At the same time, they grow increasingly concerned for the Zoro in that world.
Nami: "The strength of that Luffy is terrifying... Zoro might not survive, right?"
Franky: "It's not hard to say... Zoro's still a rookie back then, and he's up against a much stronger Luffy..."
Nico Robin: "Based on their power levels, Luffy would definitely kill Zoro."
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Beautiful Robin-chan is absolutely right!"
Roronoa Zoro: "There's no doubt about it... Even if our Luffy from now faced the me from back then, he could finish me in one blow. Let alone that monster Luffy over there..."
Tony Tony Chopper: "Waaah, poor Zoro over there!"
[On Luffy's arms, Armament Haki intertwines with Conqueror's Haki, a dense, pulsating force.]
[Yet, despite the immense power, Luffy stays cautious, on high alert, waiting for the right moment to strike!]
[Zoro, swift as a cheetah, leaps through the air, suspended above Luffy!]
[He raises his dual swords high!]
"Tiger Hunting!!!"
[Zoro's fierce three-sword style attack plunges down toward Luffy!!]
'Huh???'
[Luffy, seeing Zoro's attack, is completely bewildered!!!]
'What's going on?'
'Isn't he supposed to be the strongest on the nearby islands?'
'Why do his attacks feel so clumsy, like a child's???'
Usopp: "Zoro over there is in such bad shape… He's about to get destroyed, and Luffy's just standing there, mocking him!"
Franky: "This kind of serious mockery is actually painful to watch."
Roronoa Zoro: "I swear, I want to go over there and slice that idiot Luffy!!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Could it be... that you wouldn't even stand a chance against Red Luffy?"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Ah, ah, ah! I can't actually kill Zoro, can I?!"
[Luffy remains puzzled as to why Zoro's attacks are so flawed, like there are gaps all over the place.]
'No! Don't let your guard down!'
'Maybe it's a trap!'
[With that thought, the Haki on Luffy's arms intensifies even further!!]
'Swish!'
[Zoro's attack closes in fast!!]
Nine feet!
Eight feet!
Seven feet!
...
Three feet!
Two feet!
One foot!
[Although it feels long, this all happens in a fraction of a second!]
[Just as Zoro's blade is about to strike Luffy, Luffy sidesteps at the last possible moment...]
Swish!!—
[Zoro's swords slash through empty air!!]
"Nani!?"
[Zoro's eyes widen in shock as he misses! He quickly turns to look at Luffy, only to realize that the strange black color and the rippling aura on Luffy's arms have vanished!]
"What... what does that mean? You were ready to strike, so why didn't you?" Zoro demands loudly, disbelief in his voice.
[Luffy looks at Zoro carefully, realizing that Zoro wasn't pretending or holding back, and calmly shakes his head.
"Because if I had thrown that punch... you would've died."]
