Pirate: I'm King Luffy!

Chapter 709: How to Get Stronger Quickly
"Who are you calling a brat?"

Bonnie was tearing into the pizza, and in a blink of an eye her body expanded into a giant woman about two meters tall, looking down at Usopp.

“It’s…it’s getting bigger!”

Usopp was shocked.

Seeing that she had scared people, Bonnie changed back to her original appearance in a proud manner.

Is this also a Devil Fruit user?

Ace noticed the giant girl that Bonnie had transformed into.

"I am full!"

Zoro put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction, then picked up the three famous swords beside him and held them in his hands. His sharp eyes swept over Luffy, and then stared at Kuina, who seemed to have just taken a bath and changed into a loose robe.

The robe had narrow dark green sleeves and was made of excellent fabric. The lines were thin and fitted, falling along the curves of her figure, wrapping up Guina's body into a round shape, which was bulged out by her full breasts and seemed to tremble slightly with her breathing. Her long black hair was tied up on her shoulders, and her cold and lonely temperament was mixed with an indescribable charm.

"Kuina!"

Zoro put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and looked at the hateful female swordsman seriously.

"I'm here to challenge you!"

Zoro said in a deep voice, biting the thin white snowball to his lips, "Use my three sword style!"

The breeze gently ruffled Zoro's green hair, and the girl next to him wailed as if she was used to it:
"Again?"

"Juggling style?"

Kuina raised the corner of her mouth and laughed at this pursuer who was always challenging her as usual.

"Want to fight? I'll be the referee!" Dashigi said happily.

"There's no need for a referee. The winner will be decided quickly..."

Kuina picked up her straight blade and said something that showed she didn't take Zoro seriously at all.

"Is it really okay to be so arrogant? Zoro is a man who can easily defeat dinosaurs!" Usopp put his hands in front of him and shook them. "From the battle just now, we can see that Zoro-san is extremely strong. No matter how strong you are, it will be impossible to determine the winner quickly..."

Usoppha spread his hands.

Uta looked at the man with a long nose with a suspicious look in her eyes. If she hadn't noticed that there was a female marine named Iska here, she would have gone up to ask some questions.

"What's wrong? There's something wrong with my face..." Usopp keenly noticed that the girl with twin ponytails sitting next to the vice admiral was always observing him, and asked uncomfortably.

"Nothing~"

Uta spoke word by word.

"Prepare!"

Dashigi used chopsticks as a command flag, raised her hand high, and then chopped down.

Zoro stared intently, raised his hand and slashed with three swords with all his strength.

No one knew how strong Kuina was better than him.

So give it your all from the start.

It was useless to try, as he would be killed by her in one blow. Besides, he had just fought with the mysterious angel swordsman, and Kuina had already read his moves.

Kuina was still standing there without moving, but Zoro crossed a thousand miles in a blink of an eye and rushed in front of Kuina, with three famous swords coming with murderous intent.

"!"

At the moment when he was about to slash at Kuina, Zoro felt a very bad premonition in his heart.

His observation Haki frantically reminded him to use the Moon Step to escape quickly.

This is the most straightforward thought deep in my heart: I must escape!
The domineering aura tore through the space, transforming into red and black lightning that wrapped around the character.

The tall female swordsman has slowly sheathed her sword.

Zoro opened his mouth in the air, lost consciousness, and fell heavily to the ground.

The three knives formed a V-shape and swirled in the air, stabbing into various parts of the body.

"Swallow Returns"

The cold voice echoed in everyone's ears at a weak speed.

"The winner is Kuina!"

Dashigi announced the result as a matter of course.

"Zoron-san!"

"Zoron——is dead!!!"

Chopper and Kaya hurriedly ran to Zoro and began to check on his injuries.

"Still alive, that's great!" Ke Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just that all his ribs are broken, his arm is shattered, and he's unconscious. Fortunately, it's just a minor injury..." Chopper took out a syringe from his backpack and stabbed it into Zoro.

Kaya on the side listened to Chopper's words, forced a smile, then took out a bandage to bandage the wound.

"Kuina was too harsh..."

Luffy didn't expect that Kuina's first move would be a domineering and killing move. Feeling embarrassed, he left his position to treat Zoro.

His hand touched Zoro's body, and he used the fishman's martial arts to feel the direction of the water flow. He keenly realized that Zoro's internal injuries were repairing at an extremely fast speed.

Potion technology?
Luffy noticed the purple liquid remaining in the syringe after Chopper had injected the needle.

The pharmacology that Chopper mainly adds is also very high-tech.

"Wow, this is a health-care technique? The bones are being driven by the body's water and healing themselves..." Chopper paid attention to Luffy's movements, then lay on Zoro's chest and listened to his thoughts for a while, then looked at Luffy in disbelief.

"It's thanks to the effectiveness of the medicine you injected that I recovered so quickly. You are a great doctor." Luffy said.

"Hehehe~ Hehe~ Idiot~ Even if you praise me like this I won't be happy~ Idiot~"

Chopper blushed with embarrassment when he was praised, and his deer-like body began to twist and turn.

"Obviously, he's very happy..." Nami felt even happier as she looked at the magical furry creature.

"Mr. Luffy, I have read your book, and the information about health care is very beneficial..." Kaya knelt on the ground and slowly rubbed Zoro's temple, then said to Luffy.

"Is it spreading so fast? I just finished writing it in Dressrosa..."

Luffy didn't expect to meet his reader so soon.

According to expectations, it will take at least half a year to gain popularity among the people.

"I happened to read it in a bookstore in the Sabaody Archipelago. It's selling very well," said Kaya.

"I still don't understand some of the human anatomy knowledge in the paper and would like to ask..."

"Okay..." Luffy also planned to study Chopper's masterpiece of pharmacology: Rumble Ball.

That thing seemed to be something that stimulated the power of the devil fruit in humans.

It looks like Chopper is taking drugs, but in fact this is also the Devil Fruit style. The only difference is that unlike humans, it is not developed through exercise, but it is more simple and straightforward to use drugs to stimulate the release of the Devil Fruit power.

To be honest, it has the same effect as Luffy using Life Return to disrupt the balance of power in the body.

"My head hurts... Is dinner ready?" Zoro slowly opened his eyes, the aroma of food surrounding his nose. He looked up and saw a humanoid deer looking at him with tears in its eyes. Kaya and Usopp beside him also looked anxious.

"Is it time for dinner?" Zoro yawned and was about to get up, but the sharp pain in his body reminded him of what happened before he fell to the ground.

He was holding two knives and biting a knife in his mouth, charging towards Kuina. After seeing her gaze, his heart seemed to slow down for a beat and he had a creepy intuition.

I have to dodge, but my body can't move!

too fast--

A silvery white full moon bloomed before my eyes, and then everything went dark...

"Did I lose? My head hurts..." Zoro covered his head. The knife was wrapped with red and black domineering arcs. It must be a more advanced technique.

“Isn’t this the same as when we were kids?”

Anger and regret filled Zoro's inner world.

He raised his head and looked at the female swordsman who was as superior as always.

Still very strong.

"What the hell? Even after growing up, I'm still no match for you. Phew, I'm really impressed..."

Zoro calmly admitted his defeat.

"Is Zoro okay?" Usopp asked cautiously.

It was the first time he saw Zoro lose so miserably. Doesn’t his self-esteem matter?

"I have lost thousands of times. Next time, I will definitely win!"

Zoro stood up again and looked at Kuina, who had a calm gaze.

Kuina no longer cares about the boundaries between men and women.

"What kind of power is that? It feels like Haki, but a little different..." Zoro asked directly.

"That is the power of the new world, a special type of Haki, the application of Conqueror's Haki. It is powerful and has a stun effect, but it consumes a lot of physical strength to activate. To face the Four Emperors, you either have to fight them head-on in terms of strength or be equal to them in terms of Haki skills."

Luffy states the conditions for fighting against the emperors.

Numbers, mechanisms, and skills, you must max them out to be on par with the Emperor.

"Conqueror's Haki..." Zoro lowered his head and thought.

"If someone as strong as Zoro was defeated so easily, then there must be even more monsters in the Bankai..." Usopp stammered.

My heart was beating faster and faster, and I was about to back out again.

Even Ace looked much more serious. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had to admit that he was still a little immature compared to these famous and powerful men.

"You are still very strong, but you are still a little worse than the generals." Luffy said comfortingly.

"What should we do? We still have to go to Wan Guo to rescue people. Doesn't that mean we can only go in but not out?" Usopp's legs began to shake unconsciously.

"When the time comes, you just need to meet us outside the island. I will go alone, and we can be more flexible with a small group of people." Ace wanted to solve it alone as always.

"Is it possible? That's the equivalent of a country. No matter how strong a person is, he will be exhausted." Zoro glanced at Ace.

"Now is not the time to be a hero."

"Damn it - is there no way to get stronger quickly?" Usopp sighed.

"If there is a way..." Zoro subconsciously looked at Uta.

He still remembered the feeling of being trained in Uta's dream. His consciousness was stripped away and his body was manipulated like a puppet for training.

"Is there? Is there? Really?" Usopp moved his ears and heard Zoro's hesitation.

"For you...Uta's power...is quite useful..." said Zoro.

"Uta?" Ace and his group looked at the girl with twin ponytails whose hair was shaking like rabbit ears.

Uta was looking at Usopp, and when he saw them staring at him, he raised his head and chest out proudly, but soon shook his head again.

"Now Sanji has been taken away to Wano Country. We don't know when the wedding will be held. Even Uta can't help him become stronger in such a short time."

"That's true..." Everyone thought it made sense.

"If you want to become stronger in a short period of time... it's still possible." Luffy crossed his hands, forming an arch-like gesture to support his chin, and looked at them with a smile.

"Is there?" asked Zoro.

"Yes, becoming stronger is nothing more than a change in body and mind. There is only one way to become stronger the fastest, and that is to face death head-on."

Luffy calmly stated the plan to become stronger in the shortest time.

"What you mean, aren't you going to beat us half to death and then heal us back to life?" Usopp asked tentatively.

"Bo~ni~"

Luffy slowly said Bonnie's name.

She was eating and picking up food in big mouthfuls. When she heard Luffy calling her, she immediately turned around with dissatisfaction.

"Why would I do this again? I don't even know them!"

"How can this little girl help us? We are adults...ah——"

Usopp didn't believe it either. Although he had seen Bonnie transform into a giant girl, there were many such changes in the Grand Line. Captain Ace was also a fire man. Being strong as an individual didn't mean he could help others become stronger...

Just as he was thinking this, Bonnie suddenly slapped him.

The next second, Usopp turned into a pile of white bones in front of Ace and others. Luffy widened his eyes and saw the long nose bone on Usopp's head.

"Near-death experience—"

Bonnie snorted, "Don't blame me if you get scared!"

After three seconds, Usopp turned back into human form from his skeletal state, but his face was pale, his body was trembling, and he was breathing in fresh air in big gulps.

"Usopp? Usopp--" Kaya could see that Usopp was not in a good condition at the moment, and called out to her childhood playmate softly.

It took a long time for Usopp to respond, "Kaya? Kaya! Kaya——"

He howled Kaya's name, and snuggled into the eldest lady's arms with a sobbing voice, crying like a child.

"He is..."

Kaya patted Usopp's back gently.

"Change the future, choose a future time and space that has long since died, I don't know the rest, well, the navy in the North Sea had the same reaction as him after being attacked."

Bonnie spoke nonchalantly about the effects of her skills.

"So if I get hit by you, I'll die in the next moment?" Zoro raised his mouth, "People with special abilities are really interesting."

"Then let me see what death feels like." Zoro extended his hand to Bonnie.

In just a moment, boundless darkness attacked Zoro.

The shadow of death was approaching rapidly, and Sauron seemed to see a skeleton wearing a black cloak and holding a sickle, swinging the knife to take his life.

dying.

Very unwilling.

Kuina has not been defeated yet.

Luffy didn't challenge either.

There is also the man known as the world's strongest swordsman, Mihawk, the eagle-eyed man.

I heard he never loses a battle, damn.

Even Kuina doesn't have such an undefeated legend.

Why on earth did I swing the knife?

Zoro seemed to see himself climbing over an entire mountain because he was lost and arriving at the brightly lit dojo.

He was hungry and cold, but because of his integrity and dignity, he couldn't bring himself to beg for food.

So he opened the door of the gym.

"I'm here to challenge you! Come out, you strong ones, and let's fight it out!"
