The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

There is an ordinary island isolated in the sea. There are only an old man, a young boy and a turtle living on the island. Occasionally, an unlucky sea king passes by and helps the master and apprentice to supplement their meat.

"Not bad, not bad, Luffy, you have exceeded my expectations of you. You are very talented in understanding Qi."

Master Roshi couldn't help but praise his disciple standing next to him. As a teacher, he had seen all the hard work the Straw Hat Boy had put in these days.

Wu Tian does not act like an elder. He likes to use depressing language to belittle his apprentice and elevate his status in Luffy's heart.

Good performance needs to be praised, and poor performance needs to be criticized. Master Roshi actually knows how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and will not easily use physical violence to educate Luffy.

Garp's educational method of using elders to suppress younger generations is fundamentally wrong and will only cause his grandson to have a rebellious mentality. Luffy doesn't want to be a navy, partly because of his grandfather.

Luffy sat cross-legged on the beach, with his hands clasped in front of his abdomen. He closed his eyes, his breathing gradually slowed down, and gradually merged with the sound of the waves around him.

The Qi surging in the body slowly gathers like a stream, flowing from the heart and lungs to the limbs and bones, and finally condenses into a dense Qi network under the skin.

A faint glow appeared on the surface of his skin, as if an invisible film was wrapped around his entire body, and the air around him was vibrating.

The next moment, Luffy's body suddenly rose half a foot off the ground without any warning, and his clothes moved without wind.

He frowned slightly, sensing the delicate balance between Qi and gravity. He slowly pressed down with both palms, and his body rose steadily like a feather until it was several feet above the ground.

The high-altitude sea breeze blew through his black hair, and Luffy slowly opened his eyes, the arc where the sea and sky meet reflected in his dark pupils.

He tried to relax his control over his breath, but his body hovered steadily and did not fall. "The sky is a scenery I have never seen before. This is the feeling of freedom."

Luffy finally mastered the most basic gas release, laid a solid foundation and learned the air dance technique. He can fly in the air and change directions continuously.

The Flying Dance technique evenly distributes the energy in the body to the surface, and flies in the air through the interaction between Qi and the atmosphere. It is the most practical move for Qi.

Luffy gently stepped forward with his left foot, and his whole body floated forward several meters like catkins. A smile appeared on the corner of the boy's mouth, and his figure gradually rose and flew towards the sea level.

Seeing his good apprentice flying farther and higher, Master Roshi loudly reminded Luffy on the island: "Don't fly too far, Luffy. Be careful not to get lost on your first time flying."

Although Luffy is not as directionally challenged as Zoro, if he flies too far away from the island and cannot find any reference points in the air, with only the unchanging ocean scenery, he will most likely lose his way.

After struggling in the sky for more than ten minutes, Luffy returned to his teacher reluctantly. After landing, he excitedly hugged Master Roshi and said, "I never thought that one day I would be able to fly. Thank you very much, Master Muten. I like flying in the sky and being as free as a bird."

Luffy has longed for freedom since he was a child. He chose to be a pirate, pursue freedom, and move towards the goal of becoming the freest Pirate King.

One day, he could fly freely in the sky, no longer restricted by the sea and the deck. Luffy felt that the world he had experienced had expanded again. He once envied the birds for being able to fly, but now he can go wherever he wants.

"Learning the Air Dance Technique is the first step to getting started. Unfortunately, time is not on your side. You can only learn on the road how to compress your energy into attack waves and release them," Wu Tian stroked Luffy's black hair kindly, because he knew it was time for the master and apprentice to part ways.

Luffy released his arms from hugging Master Roshi, and the joy of his initial success was gradually replaced by a solemn expression, "Teacher, can you help me calculate how many hours I have left?"

The Straw Hat Boy is a math idiot, and Master Roshi has always kept track of the time for his apprentice, fearing that he would miss the most important event in his life.

"According to the execution date published in the newspaper, there are less than thirty hours until your brother is taken to the execution ground. You will need to use the remaining time to travel."

Wu Tian urged his old friend to crawl over quickly. The old turtle had a black backpack on his back, which was filled with the supplies Luffy needed.

When I opened the zipper of the backpack, I found a gourd of drinking water, some kneaded rice balls, and some fried salted fish. The most eye-catching thing was a small ceramic jar mixed in with the food.

Luffy took out the small ceramic jar and unscrewed the bottle cap. He saw two green broad beans inside. He didn't understand why ordinary soy products were specially put in a good-looking jar.

Seeing his good disciple's puzzled expression, Master Roshi stroked his beard and smiled proudly, "I'm too old to participate in the war with you. I want to live a few more years. These two are Senzu Beans that I have treasured for many years. After eating them, you will instantly restore your physical strength and repair some of the damage to your body."

After listening to the teacher's explanation, Luffy's pupils dilated in shock. He didn't expect that the teacher had such a good thing.

Even though the Straw Hat Kid is a fool, he also understands the importance of Senzu Beans. After meeting Ace in Marineford, he directly gave him one, which would immediately restore his fighting power.

Luffy couldn't run far dragging a sick man. Ace recovered his strength and injuries and had a certain combat power, which greatly increased the brothers' chances of survival.

Unfortunately, Master Roshi only has these two Senzu Beans, which he stole from that fat cat's tower more than ten years ago. He originally wanted to keep them for himself for emergency use, but now that he gives them to Luffy, he can make the best use of them.

Only one Senzu Bean can be taken per day, and taking a second one will not produce any effect. It can instantly restore physical strength. There is no other such miraculous medicinal effect on the sea.

Master Roshi had the following arrangement in mind: when Luffy was exhausted against the enemy, he would eat one, and give one to Ace. As for the secret of the Senzu beans, he should not reveal it to outsiders.

Luffy nodded and agreed obediently. He didn't want to cause trouble for his teacher, and he would keep the matter of the Senzu Beans to himself.

"Luffy, I know you have a simple mind. There are some things in this world that you can do with a clear conscience. There is no need to deliberately blame yourself. Do you understand what I mean?"

Master Roshi didn't dare to guarantee that Luffy would be able to rescue his sworn brother. The general trend of the times could not be changed by an individual, and he was afraid that his apprentice would get stuck in a dead end and unable to get out of it.

The figures of Ace and Sabo flashed before Luffy's eyes. The three of them played together on the island when they were little. That was the most leisurely time in their lives. The deep brotherly love was cultivated by Grandpa Garp's iron fist.

The two older brothers often pitted their younger brother and pushed the blame for their bad deeds onto him, but in the end all three of them were beaten up, and there was no overnight grudge between the brothers.

"Teacher Wu Tian, ​​I understand what you mean. I will do my best to save Ace. I believe I can do it."

Luffy put on the backpack prepared by his teacher, patted his chest, and said these words with great conviction.

The youth's high spirits made Master Turtle moved.
