The battle between Luffy and Ace lasted for 27 minutes. During this period, the circular martial arts arena was continuously destroyed and continued to regenerate itself. This allowed the two of them to continue to have a foothold and avoid falling into the sea.
The final winner is Ace.
Seeing Luffy lying slumped on the circular performance stage with a bruised nose and face and multiple burns all over his body, Ace touched his slightly bruised eye sockets and couldn't help but sigh that Luffy was quite ruthless.
If Armed Color Haki wants to awaken and grow quickly, it needs to continuously squeeze the potential of the body in high-intensity battles. Victor was like this back then, and the same is true for Ace. In order to help Luffy successfully awaken Armed Color, Ace fought hard to be beaten by his younger brother.
The disgrace and the danger of the boss settling the accounts afterwards made Luffy his training partner for half an hour.
Although it is hard work, it is worth it.
In the last blow just now, Ace clearly felt that Luffy had already developed signs of armed-colored Haki. The armed-colored armor that had been lightly covering his body was neutralized or even broken through. The next thing that needed to be done was the system.
As for planning a training plan for Luffy scientifically, the training of armed training is not as good as seeing and hearing, it requires real training and the correct guidance of famous teachers.
Logically speaking, the most suitable teacher candidate present is Boss Victor. His second disciple Nami is the world-famous Weather Princess and a powerful one-star weather hunter, and his eldest disciple Trafalgar Law is even more famous.
Recognized as the next generation leader of Coral, he is only 24 years old and ranks among the top of Coral [Pillars] with his terrifying strength. Not to mention that he has also taught powerful practical masters like 'Steel Fist' Sugar.
If you're just so reckless, I'm afraid your boss won't easily agree to help Luffy plan a training plan, right?
On the deck of the sea restaurant Barati, Sanji, who had just served the others a platter of mixed juice and mashed potatoes, looked at the circular martial arts arena and said with emotion: "That rubber boy can actually compete with Ace, the Fire Fist."
After fighting for so long and narrowly losing, he is already strong enough to dominate the East China Sea and even occupy a place in the Grand Route, right?"
"Stupid boy! Fire Fist Ace is obviously doing something crazy to be a sparring partner for his younger brother. Can't you tell?" Zhefu looked like he hated iron, and took advantage of the situation to twist a piece of hash brown and throw it into his mouth: "
...It took 2 seconds to fry. Don’t be distracted when cooking. How many times do you want me to teach you?"
"Tsk, what a verbose old man." Sanji lit a cigarette, exhaled a long breath of white smoke, and muttered to himself: "These days, pirates are suppressed by hunters and navy and can hardly hold their heads up. Why is that boy still here?"
Do you want to insist on being a pirate? Obviously you are not the type to rob and kill..."
"It's a [dream], you brat." Zhefu glanced at this stupid son who inherited all his cooking skills, all his kicking skills, and even all his dreams about not being a relative but better than a relative, and couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, Sanji
, you will never find 'All Blue' if you stay in Barati's kitchen all the time. Whether you join the hunter or go with that rubber boy is a good choice, choose one yourself."
"...That's embarrassing." The blond hair covered Sanji's eyes, and only the smoke lingered in front of him: "I'm not going anywhere. There is no one else but me to choose as the successor chef of this restaurant!"
Zhefu smiled and stopped talking.
On the other side, Victor's figure emerged from the air and quietly appeared on the circular martial arts field.
He walked slowly towards Ace, and finally stood in front of the latter and said softly: "Ace, you are really 'working hard'."
"...I'm sorry boss, I know I was wrong!"
Ace admitted his mistake decisively and very straightforwardly.
Victor shook his head and looked down at Luffy, who was lying on the floor and had not yet recovered: "So, Luffy-boy, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Luffy said with a smile as he rubbed the bridge of his bruised nose.
What do you understand? You two should explain it more clearly! Zoro, who was squinting his ears, didn't understand what these people were talking about at all. It was so confusing. Forget about those two people, Luffy
Are you pretending to be mysterious too?
At this time, Zoro noticed that Victor hooked his fingers towards him, and then he flew up and landed lightly on the circular martial arts field. This move alone made Zoro understand the gap between himself and the opponent. If he really wanted to
If a war breaks out, I'm afraid there will be no chance of resistance.
"That sword of yours... is the 'Wado Ichimonji' of the Twenty-one Great Knife Sword. Is Mr. Shigetsuki Koushiro okay?"
Victor took a quick glance and recognized the long white knife on Sauron's waist.
Zoro was a little surprised: "Do you know the master?" He really didn't know that his master, the unknown and good man, was so powerful that he could be remembered by such a big shot as Ji Lian.
"Eight years ago when we came to the East China Sea, we stopped by Mr. Koshiro. We were a little surprised when we didn't see this sword. It turns out that he had already passed this sword to you at that time."
Victor smiled slightly: "Mr. Koushiro has an extraordinary background, and this Taoist sword is a rare treasure. Work hard, young man."
"Wado Ichimonji...is this your name?"
Zoro looked at the word "Wado" in his hand and had mixed feelings for a moment. When he asked his master Koushiro for this sword, it was because of the agreement he made with his master's daughter, Koina, who was also his rival and best friend, that he became the king of heaven.
Kuina could also hear the name "The Strongest" from the world's number one swordsman. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a powerful sword.
Victor glanced at Ace who was hesitant to speak, stopped teasing him, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't show that face, I agreed. I just have a few days left, so I can give Luffy a shot by the way.
He has a foundation. But he needs to walk the rest of the way on his own, and no one can help him."
"Thank you, boss!" Ace was overjoyed. As long as the boss takes action, Luffy's weapon color will be fine.
"You come too, young man." Victor turned to look at Zoro: "Just think of it as thanking Mr. Koushiro for the cup of tea."
Luffy and Zoro looked at each other with joy on their faces. As long as they can learn this power called Armed Color Haki, the next adventure may become smoother.
As for Victor, he doesn't care at all whether he will cultivate a powerful potential enemy. Even if he has a bad relationship with Luffy's father, the "revolutionary" Dragon, and the forces to which Luffy's grandfather, the "Navy Hero" Garp belongs, are currently at odds with each other,
He would not deliberately suppress the protagonist in the comic, the destined child of the next generation.
Whether it's a 'hero' or a 'hero', no matter what the world calls him, Victor's magnanimity today is absolutely incomparable. The protagonist? It's easy to pull him along. If he blocks the road, it's easy to get rid of him. It's a trivial matter.
That’s all.
"Master, is the time okay? The purpose of our trip to the East China Sea..." The clouds formed around Victor, and Nami whispered in his ear.
"Don't worry, there is plenty of time, enough for you to go back to your hometown to visit relatives."
Victor raised his head and looked at the distant horizon, his eyes seeming to reach the target across a long distance: "The golden lion and his island are right there, there is no way to escape."
