"It's really hard to understand your brain circuitry."
Uta looked at this country boy with disgust, then looked at the water stains on the ground, "It's all your fault, my clothes got wet."
The two of them returned to the tavern wet, where Shanks and a group of pirates were already having fun and drinking.
"Luffy, Uta, did you fall into the water?"
Shanks looked at their clothes and smiled.
"Luffy fell into the water. This guy can't swim. It was Uta who saved him!"
Uta rolled his eyes and said.
"I'm going to take a shower!" Uta gritted his teeth.
"Shanks, come and teach me swordsmanship!"
Luffy picked up the broom from the corner of the tavern and looked at the sword on Shanks' waist with twinkling stars in his eyes.
"You promised me yesterday!"
"Is this happening? Okay." Shanks gestured twice in the air with a chopstick.
"Come here, I will teach you swordsmanship in actual combat."
Luffy summoned up enough strength to attack Shanks. The wooden stick in his hand collided with the chopsticks in the opponent's hand and he could no longer move forward.
Shanks was playing with Luffy like an adult teasing a child.
The pirates watching the excitement all around cheered for Luffy, "Quickly cut him in the middle!"
"Come on Luffy!"
"Just a little bit, we hit Shanks!"
They cheered for Luffy enthusiastically, not caring about their captain's image.
"Shanks, are you really teaching swordsmanship?"
Luffy was a little skeptical.
After struggling for a while, his strength was exhausted.
"What does Luffy think swordsmanship is?"
"With just one swing, you can shoot out a sword energy of hundreds of meters and cut off everything!"
Luffy gets excited thinking about the grand scene of Hawkeye cutting into the glacier.
To protect the beautiful second dimension, you must have this kind of power!
"That's right, swordsmanship is just about defeating others." Shanks said with a smile.
Then he gestured in the air with the chopsticks that he was fighting with Luffy, "Like this, like this, like this again..."
Shanks made a horizontal stroke, then a vertical stroke, and then diagonally.
"Swordsmanship is this kind of thing, Luffy, I've left it all to you."
"That's it?"
"That's it." Shanks spread his hands.
What about other things, such as the breathing of all things, the cutting of iron...
nothing.
At least give me a loud line, right?
Luffy suspected that Shanks was deceiving him because of his young age.
There is a guy with a surname among pirates. Normally he won't embarrass children, but it's hard to say whether he will teach them seriously.
Even his grandfather Garp is like this.
Luffy wanted to train to become stronger and begged his grandfather to teach him awesome skills, so Garp taught him an iron block and proudly said that this was a move that could make him stronger even if he was beaten casually...
Luffy was half-confident until now after being injured by a wild boar.
Probably because of Luffy's distrustful look, Shanks ruffled his hair and said, "All the moves are very simple. The rest is just strength and application."
"Luffy still needs to exercise more."
"Then...are there any moves that can produce cool and powerful moves without exercising?"
Luffy thought about it. Without a body, everything is useless. It would be better for him to just lay the foundation.
But Luffy thought about the power of Haki again.
Shanks is said to be a master of domineering, especially domineering.
I have to find a way to get him to teach me!
"If this is the case...there is some, Luffy...maybe he has this kind of talent."
Shanks said thinking about the power of that guy Garp.
"Hegemony is a potential power possessed by all human beings. This power is an innate ability. It is the same as "aura" and "deterrence" and exists like instinct; however, most people cannot realize it. If you have this kind of power, you may not be able to exert it throughout your life.
Among them, Overlord Color is the "dominance" that only one person among millions of people has. It means having the "qualification of a king" to stand above others. What is different from the first two is that "Overlord Color" "Even if it can be controlled freely, it cannot be strengthened by exercise. It can only be strengthened by the user's own growth... It is this particularity that makes the outbreak of Overlord color very random, even for young children. This power bursts out when you are emotionally excited..."
Shanks recalled his realization of Haki and said to Luffy.
"I want to learn this, Shanks teaches me!"
Luffy said immediately.
Of course he is sure that he has this power, he is Luffy!
"Yeah, I don't know how to practice this power. Maybe Luffy can master it on his own when he gets excited?"
Shanks spread his hands, unable to teach.
"This is the power of heart, will, and emotion. The only shortcut is to explode through strong emotional stimulation. The probability of it happening after experiencing the pain of losing something important is higher..."
"Luffy wants to be king?"
he said jokingly.
"If becoming a king means you can have happiness and freedom, then it's a matter of course!"
Luffy gave a thumbs up.
He also thought about the conditions for the overlord's will to explode.
As long as you have this talent, Overlord Color is the best power to master. Doflamingo has exploded with this power even as a child. This power can even be used as a passive skill and can be released unconsciously.
Most of the demands that children burst out with are... life-threatening and extremely strong emotions?
It's a bit similar to the Eye clan in Eye Legend.
Luffy thought hard about what extremely strong emotions he had.
Theoretically, I already have the point where I can burst out my overbearing power, but my emotions have not yet been mobilized.
A child can explode with even the slightest emotion, so he should be able to explode easily.
After all, Ace also used this power when he was a child to save Luffy.
Threat to life is not a necessary condition, intense emotions are.
urgent!
Similar to a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, you can subconsciously use this power when you are anxious...
Come and give it a try, you are Luffy!
Luffy closed his eyes and pondered, brewing his emotions.
Uta had already taken a bath and changed into new clothes.
Dressed like a princess, she came from outside. She tossed her hair back confidently to let the fragrance spread, and then she found everyone sitting around Luffy.
And Luffy was holding something in his eyes with his eyes closed.
Hmm~
Uta tiptoed over curiously, not daring to spoil the atmosphere.
What are you doing?
Poof~
Luffy opened his eyes suddenly and expelled the fart he had been holding in for a long time.
"Hahahahaha..."
The originally quiet tavern resounded with the cheerful laughter of the pirates, startling the birds in the forest outside to fly around.
"No, I didn't feel anything!" Luffy looked at his hands in disbelief.
Something's wrong, I'm a genius, this body of mine is destined to be the king!
