On this day, in the Windmill Village bar, Luffy was mooching food and drinks from the Red Hair Pirates.
He noticed a wooden box next to Lucky Roo and curiously opened it, only to find a fruit inside covered in mysterious patterns.
"This looks pretty tasty." Luffy didn't think much and grabbed it to eat.
Dracule Mihawk: "That should be a Devil Fruit, right? He's eating it so happily."
Gekko Moria: "Hehehe! To eat a Devil Fruit so boldly, this kid has some guts!"
Trafalgar Law: "Indeed, as the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, it's the first time I've seen someone eat a Devil Fruit without even furrowing their brows."
Capone Bege: "Speaking of which, when I ate the Castle Castle Fruit, it felt like I was eating shit..."
Scratchmen Apoo: "Ah babababa!!! I totally agree!"
Roronoa Zoro: "So this is how Luffy got his Devil Fruit..."
Nico Robin: "It's indeed quite absurd..."
Mariejois
Between powers.
"Red Hair!!!"
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro's eyebrows instantly twisted into a character for "river," angrily shouting.
Saint
Marcus Mars narrowed his eyes, his expression serious. "Damn it!! Did the Red Hair snatch that Devil Fruit back then? Was it a coincidence that this kid ate it, or was it intentional?"
"Whether it's a coincidence or intentional, Imu-Sama will definitely not allow him to continue growing with his Devil Fruit ability!" Saint Jaygarcia Saturn reminded.
At this moment, the big screen did not continue playing the aftermath in the bar, but switched to Luffy's daily training
Seeing this scene, in the sea area near the Marine Headquarters
Shanks let out a sigh of relief...
It's a good thing they didn't show the scene of him getting hit by a small Bandit King with a bottle of alcohol, otherwise it would be embarrassing...
And if they showed the incident of the Sea King biting off his arm, that hawk-eyed guy would probably mock him to death...
"Not bad, this screen is giving me face..." Shanks secretly said.
In the days that followed, the Red Hair Pirates left Windmill Village.
Luffy also set his goal to set sail and become the Pirate King!
Day after day, Luffy continued to train himself and often challenged Ace, but he always ended up losing badly.
Seven years later, Ace set sail!
Ten years later, Luffy set sail!
At this point, the big screen with the white border gradually dimmed...
Basil Hawkins: "Looking at it this way, Straw Hat Luffy's strength wasn't that strong when he set sail. In just a few months, he actually grew to become a supernova on par with us..."
Urouge: "The training this guy did before setting sail was really mediocre."
Capone Bege: "This Luffy wasted a lot of time, yet he still became a supernova. And the Luffy next door already mastered Armament Haki at the age of 7. How terrifying will his future strength be?"
Trafalgar Law: "No need to worry. According to the playback pattern of these two screens, it should be time for the video of the other Straw Hat Captain."
Gol D. Roger: "Why isn't it playing yet? I'm really looking forward to the performance of that Luffy kid over there!"
Shanks: "Ahaha, Captain, our Luffy over here is pretty impressive too!"
At this moment, the big screen with the red border gradually brightened.
Soon, the video appeared.
Time passed day by day, and Luffy's daily life was very regular.
In the morning, he went into the mountains, and in the evening, he came back.
His training method was also very simple and rough!!
For Armament Haki training, he directly punched the mountains!
For Observation Haki training, he would deliberately provoke a group of wild beasts, putting himself in the midst of their attacks, relying on Observation Haki to continuously dodge the beasts' attacks.
On this day, he returned earlier than usual.
"Hmm? Little Luffy, haven't you trained yet today?" Bandit Dadan glanced at the clock on the wall and asked in confusion.
Luffy glanced at Dadan, wanting to say something but hesitating.
He had encountered a bottleneck in his recent Armament Haki training and couldn't further improve. But there was no one around him who understood Haki training, which made him very distressed.
Dadan walked over. "Little Luffy, what's wrong? Even if you encounter something unsolvable, you should speak up and see! Maybe I can help"
Luffy sighed. "Dadan, do you understand Armament Haki?"
...
Dadan twitched at the corner of her mouth. Do I look like I understand?
"It's nothing, I'll figure it out myself." Seeing Dadan's reaction, Luffy knew the answer.
He got up and prepared to go to his room.
"Wait!" Dadan stopped him, as if she had thought of something. "There's a group of pirates in town. I heard they're from the Grand Line. If you want to inquire about Haki training, maybe you can ask them."
"Pirates?" Hearing this, Luffy didn't get excited, but furrowed his brow. "Why would pirates be in town? Why didn't you mention this when my grandpa was here?"
If his grandpa were here, as long as he made a move, all the pirates would be wiped out
Luffy had been following Garp since he was little. Sometimes when Garp was on a mission, he had to bring Luffy on the warship, which allowed Luffy to witness many ruthless and evil pirates.
It was precisely because he had seen the cruel side of this world from a young age that Luffy understood the law of the jungle early on.
He trained hard from a young age, not because he had any noble ideals, but because he didn't want to become someone else's victimin the future!
Although he wasn't interested in becoming a Marine, his impression of pirates was also not good.
He looked at Dadan and earnestly advised, "Dadan, since there are pirates in town, you should also avoid going to town. Pirates are ruthless killers!"
Trafalgar Law: "Pfft! Luffy, as a pirate captain, is it appropriate for you to say that...?"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Ah! Traffy, look carefully, it was the red border Luffy over there who said it, not me"
Franky: "Wahaha!! The red border Luffy over there seems to have a very bad impression of pirates! Could it be that he's going to become a Marine?"
Nami: "From his tone, it's very possible!"
Monkey D. Garp: "Ah! Can this screen swap the characters on both sides? I'm willing to exchange one grandson for the grandson on the other side!"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Grandpa..."
