Chapter 13: Getting Stronger
"The strongest man in the world?"
"The No. 1 Swordsman..."
Little Nami and Young Zoro both stared at the left half of Luffy's face with a 'look at God' expression, making Rossi hanging in the sky feel speechless for a while, even if they were 150 million kilometers away.
"Wait a minute, don't look at 'me' and say things like that, as if I was bragging about myself."
Rubbing Luffy's left temple, Rosie sighed.
"In short, I am the 'legendary' Rosinandi, but now my body is very far away from here: hanging on the sun."
?!
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Nami clenched her hands into fists, and stars appeared in both eyes.
"Lord Rosinandi, how did you hang... Fly to the sun? Can you teach me~~"
"Do you think I want to?"
For the child's brain circuit, Rossi is speechless in addition to being speechless.
"To put it simply, four years ago, I led a fight with the 'god' behind the Draco people, and was thrown into outer space by the opponent's Devil Fruit ability and hung on the sun. Now he barely survived by relying on his fruit ability, but it was only to save his life. ”
"Hee-hee-hee, that's why I'm going to go on a sea trip and get stronger."
"Finally go to the sun and bring the teacher back!"
Luffy grinned on the right half of his face and said his agreement with Rosie. In fact, more than half a year ago, even if Rosie hadn't appeared, they wouldn't have died in the hands of that 'Sapphire Pirates', because Luffy and Ace both had the qualifications of being domineering.
When it comes to a crisis, his two domineering outwards can also turn the crisis into safety.
It's just that I happened to meet Rosie and passed on his thoughts with what he saw and heard.
···
"Is it really possible to go to the sun and fish for people?"
The eldest, Sauron, objected, that even though there was something magical like a Devil Fruit in this world, it still sounded so unrealistic.
"Of course, the water in this world is much deeper than you think."
"The golden city of Shandora, the giant kingdom of Elbaf, the fish-people, the little people and even the moon people... These things are there. What's more, compared to the Devil Fruit that can resurrect from the dead, manipulate souls, and connect with parallel time and space, I am hanging on the sun. ”
At first glance, it sounds like an exaggeration to catch people in the sun, but it is an exaggeration to have a skeleton in the 'Devil's Triangle' of Brooke? Can Yin Mu pull people from parallel time and space at will, and it is even more exaggerated to throw people into parallel time and space?
"In short, I have already asked people to prepare the method of going near the sun, just wait for Luffy to be strong enough to bring me back."
"Until then, I'll travel with Luffy, and you'll treat me as a portable grandfather... Ahem, if only I was a wise man and an instructor who could consult all kinds of information. ”
"That's right,"
"Well, please advise me in the future, Teacher!"
And Nami has already nodded and accepted this explanation, for people in this world, as long as the 'Devil Fruit' is involved, no matter how unreasonable things are, they can accept it.
"No problem, I, Rosie, like to be a teacher in my life..."
"Honestly?"
Faced with Nami's complaints, Rosie replied casually:
"Anyway, being idle is idle, and it doesn't matter if you teach you how to defend yourself."
Is this teacher reliable? x2
In fact, Rosie is definitely the most reliable teacher in the world: from the explosive breathing method when he was the weakest child, to the medium six-style, to the advanced three-color domineering, and even the top development and application of the three-color domineering... Rosie was able to get it all at her fingertips.
————
A few days later,
Zoro and Nami, who were trained by Rosie, were paralyzed on the deck of the Black Cat, while Luffy was easily doing push-ups with one finger on the side.
"I've long been used to this kind of intense workout."
"Whew... Whew··· Speaking of which, what is our team called? ”
Nami, who got up from the deck, asked this question, leaving both Luffy and Zoro stunned.
"Luffy, you say-"
Originally, Zoro only sailed with Luffy because Luffy proposed that he be able to meet Hawkeye, but after being defeated by Hawkeye's finger, Zoro who realized that he was weak immersed himself and gave up his status as a well-known swordsman and decided to start over from basic training.
There happened to be Rosie, a mysterious teacher, and he didn't dislike it with Nami, starting from various basics.
"It's called 'Luffy's Bounty Squad'..."
"Dismissed!" x2
Standing up from the ground, Sauron, drenched in sweat, thought for a moment.
"Why don't you call it the 'Swordsman Column'?"
"No, we're not swordsmen, I think 'Windmill and Orange' is very good."
Nami also raised her hand and said the name of her proposal, but no one could convince anyone. So, Luffy turned to ask the fourth person on this ship:
"Teacher Rosie, what do you think?"
I think... It's hard to do.
Because of the changes brought by Rosie, Luffy didn't get Shanks' straw hat and didn't eat the destined Nika fruit. And he also eliminated the Black Cat Pirates early, not only did Monka not become bad, but even Usopp in Xirob Village was not recruited.
It's impossible for Rosie to say that the old man pinched his fingers and counted that there was a sniper with good talent in Xirob Village?
So, can this team still be regarded as a straw hat group?
"Dream it,"
Rossi was just entangled for a second, even if it was: Usopp is not good at accompanying his childhood sweetheart in his hometown, so he has to go to sea to fight for life and death? What's more, because of Rossi's relationship, the world has become a mess of porridge, and there are tens of millions of people whose fate has been changed by him?
It's like Nami who sweats like rain every day, and has fun exercising to become stronger.
"Let's just call it the 'Dream Team', aren't you all pursuing your dreams? - Remember how you are feeling right now, and then keep going, so that one day you will climb to the top. ”
Speaking of which, when I watched the Pirates in my previous life, the Straw Hats had their own dreams at the beginning, and everyone was working hard for their dreams.
After waiting for the new world, except for Sauron's dream of being the world's number one swordsman, everyone else... It seems that they have forgotten their persistence, and only 'One Piece' is left as a goal that I don't know if it's a dream or not.
"Okay, then from today, the 'Dream Team' will go!"
Luffy stood on the bow of the black cat and raised his arms and shouted:
"Hehehehe, everyone must remember their dreams and never forget them!"
————
Ten days later,
"Hell, how can you two eat so much?"
Nami, who had checked the food reserves, slapped the kitchen table with a bang.
"When I set out from Cocoa West Village, I obviously brought enough food for ten people to consume for a month, but now it's empty?"
"yes, why?"
Facing Luffy with a dazed face, Nami, who sighed, had to order Zoro.
"Zoro, prepare your nets."
"Luffy, it's time to work!"
After a few minutes:
"Thunder!"
The thick thunder light was summoned by Luffy with a raised hand, and it smashed into the sea area in front of the 'Black Cat' with a bang, and the jumping electric light jumped and dissipated along the sea in all directions. And Sauron had skillfully thrown the fishing net in his hand, because soon a large number of fish appeared.
"Devil Fruit, what a handy ability."
Nami, who had already moved the tools, sighed while skillfully removing the scales, salting, and putting on the fish that had been caught, and then hung it downwind of the boat, and a standard string of 'salted fish' was ready, and then relied on these 'convenient' food to support, so that Luffy's mouth was cocked.
"Eat salted fish again~~"
"Or else?"
Nami, who knocked on the side of the boat unhappily, was even more angry,
"It's all because of you two big stomachs, so I have to eat salted fish too!"
"Salted fish,"
Rosie, who was attached to the left half of Luffy's face, couldn't help but sigh,
"I haven't eaten for 4 years, and when I come back, I'll eat a few hundred catties of salted fish~~"
"Teacher Rosie, even if you say that, it won't change the problem that we need to eat salted fish next, and salted fish is not delicious. - Speaking of which, why does Luffy have such a big appetite, he is no longer a normal human, right? ”
Speaking of this question, even Zoro, who is known as a 'Warcraft' physique, can't help but look sideways, Luffy's appetite is simply a black hole.
"Because Luffy's grandfather taught him the 'Life Return Eating Version', and I also asked him to develop exercises on the basis of this technique, usually ingest a lot of food, constantly improve Luffy's physique, and subtly become stronger."
?!
"And this trick,"
Nami can't complain, but after thinking about it, what to eat and what to make up, with Luffy's terrifying appetite, it's normal to be strong, right?
In fact, the strength of human beings in this world is also inseparable from the extensive use of sea kings.
"Is this true?"
Even Zoro was shocked, although he also had the talent to heal his wounds automatically after being injured, but this skill through training-
"Of course, you'll have to learn later."
Who is Rosie, the instructor of the Don Quixote family, since he wants to teach people, it is a systematic and comprehensive intensive training: whether it is Luffy, Zoro or Nami, the talent is first-class and strong, but Karp is busy with work, and Frost Moon Koshiro needs to conceal his identity, otherwise the two of them can go out only after being proficient in two-color domineering.
"Hey, but when will this salted fish be eaten..."
"Wait!"
Luffy, with his eyes closed and his nose twitching, kept turning his body and sniffed carefully for a while:
"I smell the food over there!"
?
"Alright, let's sail over there—"
Nami waved her hand casually,
"Anyway, the East China Sea is calm, and with our strength, we are not afraid of pirates."
Rather, the three of them, as 'bounty hunters', originally relied on hunting pirates for their livelihood.
