Chapter 068
After walking for about an hour and crossing a few more warm rivers, Luffy finally reached Rey’s residence.
What caught everyone’s eye was a small volcano, although the volcano was small, but it was also very huge for Luffy, about half the size of a giant sea king.
This is an extinct volcano, which has long lost its majesty as a volcano, but the residual power is still there, and the temperature around the volcano is high, presumably because of the hot magma underground.
There are no weeds for hundreds of meters around the volcano, some are just rocks and gray sand, and when you look at it, there is no green, not even a water source, so boring that people feel that the air around them is not good.
Rey’s residence seemed to Luffy with only two words: awesome!
This old man who was not afraid of the cold actually dug a cave of nearly 100 square meters at the foot of the extinct volcano, and he was not afraid to dig through the volcano, and then the magma spewed out and burned him.
With so many trees here, it’s better to build a simple wooden house than to live in a cave!
Luffy shook his head, he threw the giant boar aside and proposed to Rey, “Grandpa Rey, or I’ll help you build a house with my partner, and it’s too much to live in a cave!” ”
Rey smiled, and then rejected Luffy’s kindness: “No need, I’ve been used to it for so many years, and tell you that this volcanic cave is a good place to increase your strength!” ”
Hearing that it could increase its strength, Luffy, Solon, and Usopp all stared at Rey.
Rey pointed to the entrance of the cave with no end in sight, and said: “This cave was dug by me for more than a hundred meters, the further you go, the greater the heat your body will bear, do you say it’s a good place to cultivate?” ”
Looking at Rey’s smug look, Luffy and they were embarrassed: Dare to feel that your old man really wants to be scalded to death by magma?
There were many leather clothes made of animal skins in Rey’s cave, all sewn by Rey himself, which could protect against the cold to some extent, so he took two sets for Usopp and Nami.
Usopp and Nami are of course very grateful, which also lightens Kaiya’s burden, so why not.
Only now at the foot of the volcanic mountain, although the temperature here is not too hot, it is not cold either, and Nami and Usopp are in no hurry to put on leather clothes.
Luffy yelled for Sanji, who was stuck to Kaiya’s side, to cook, but Sanji had no choice but to glare at the ignorant Luffy fiercely, and then went to cook.
Sanji walked up to the giant wild boar, lit a cigarette, looked around the environment, then took a sharp puff of the cigarette and muttered, “Today’s lunch decided to be charcoal grilled wild boar!” ”
Kaiya and Nami had nothing to do, and the stones outside were very hot because of the underground magma, and they couldn’t sit down, so the two women, with Rey’s consent, went to the cave to talk about the girl’s whisper.
Since the last time Usopp used a bomb at the 16th Division base of the Navy, he has become more and more enthusiastic about bomb research, and he sees that there is a lot of volcanic lime around, so he wonders whether to add this volcanic lime to the bomb to make a more powerful bomb.
Thinking so, Usopp also found a quiet place to experiment.
Hearing Rey say that there were many powerful beasts in the forest not far from the volcano, in order to strengthen his strength, Solon said hello to Luffy and they walked in the direction of the forest.
Looking at Solon’s rambling back, Luffy muttered, “At this distance, Solon shouldn’t get lost, right?” ”
Rey on the side saw Luffy’s worried look and asked curiously, “Luffy, what’s wrong?” ”
“It’s nothing, Grandpa Rey.” Luffy smiled, turned his words around, and said, “Grandpa Rey, have you been doing well in recent years?” How is the body? Did you eat and sleep on time…”
Looking at Luffy’s non-stop look, Rey’s heart warmed, and then said: “You kid, I don’t need you to worry about this for me, old man, I’m in good health, eat it fragrantly!” But you, as a pirate, should have turned the outside world upside down, right? Karp that old guy should also be angry with you, right? ”
Hearing Rey say this, Luffy touched his head embarrassedly: “Hehe, grandpa is probably very angry, but being a pirate is my dream, I don’t want to give up, let alone become a navy!” ”
Looking at Luffy’s firm eyes, Rey sighed slightly in his heart, and then reached out and touched Luffy’s head: “You silly child, the world of pirates is not as simple as you think, its darkness, its cruelty, you haven’t fully seen it!” ”
“I’m not afraid.” A simple sentence showed Luffy’s determination.
Looking at Luffy, Rey looked stunned, he seemed to see in Luffy what he looked like when he was young, he was also as invincible as Luffy, he was not afraid of anything, he thought that his strength was absolute, and no one was his opponent.
But later, the consequences caused by the big move made Rey deeply feel how pale and helpless his so-called absolute strength was in front of the real absolute.
In Rey’s eyes, Luffy is a child, no matter how Luffy is, as long as he Rey is alive, Luffy is just a child.
Rey’s heart moved, a thought flashed through his mind, and then said to Luffy: “Luffy, do you want me to guide your kung fu old man?” ”
“Hehe, then trouble Grandpa Rey, I just have some questions I want to ask you.” Luffy smiled and said.
Rey nodded, and the two found a relatively open place near the volcano, and then Rey began to guide Luffy’s kung fu.
In fact, for Luffy now, he has a deep understanding of what combat is and what combat ability is.
The so-called battle is just a collision between speed and power.
As long as your speed is faster than the other party and your strength is greater than the other party, then it is only a matter of time before you defeat the other party.
But recently, Luffy also thought about one thing, what if he encountered a natural Devil Fruit ability one day?
Luffy knew that the ability of the natural system could elementalize the body, if that was the case, Luffy would lose the target of attack, no matter how powerful his fist and how fast he was, he could not give the other party a strong blow.
Luffy is also worried about this, but the devil fruit is not a circulation after all, it is a secret treasure of the sea, it is very rare, and the natural devil fruit is even rarer, if it is very ordinary, Luffy’s pirate group may not be able to go to this point.
Listening to Luffy’s troubles, a flash of essence flashed in Rey’s eyes, and he found that Luffy was completely different from his younger self, Luffy was more delicate than him, calmer in case of trouble, and more long-term vision.
Combined with Luffy’s combat talent, Rey believes that Luffy is a forgeable material, a piece of jade, as long as it is carved well, it will become a great weapon.
If all goes well, there will be a place for Luffy in the future in this sea of dominance.
But Rey also knows that Luffy’s goal is more than that, but he has been clamoring to become One Piece’s child since he was a child, and his dream is very great.
Rey felt that he had to help Luffy well, after all, he couldn’t be by his side all the time, it was impossible to hone Luffy well, he could only give Luffy a little advice, and he would do the rest!
All the roads are taken by themselves, and Luffy must go on his own if he wants to become One Piece.
Rey patted Luffy’s shoulder and said: “Luffy, don’t worry, with your current strength, it is estimated that no one is your opponent in this East China Sea, don’t be afraid to encounter the ability of the natural department, the ability of the natural department is mutually exclusive, there is no invincible ability, and when you practice to a certain realm, you will find that even if the other party is the ability of the natural department, you can defeat him!” ”
“Can I defeat the ability of the nature system, and I still need to cultivate to a certain level?” Luffy’s eyes were full of color, and he looked at Rey with his eyes full of expectation, but Luffy thought about it and decided not to ask.
Looking at Luffy’s expression of wanting to say something, Rey nodded, and then said: “Luffy, believe in yourself, although I can teach you that kind of power now, even if you learn it now, it is not worth much, if you can get this power by comprehending it alone, your future must be bright!” ”
Listening to Rey’s words, Luffy’s heart was moved, and he decided to discover this hidden power in his body on his own.
Rey looked away, accidentally saw Luffy’s bulging pants pocket, and asked with some curiosity: “Luffy, what do you have in your pants pocket?” ”
Luffy was stunned, and then took out the pair of sea tower stone gloves from his trouser pocket, which was given to him by Jack, the captain of the Golden Pirate Group on the Island of All Things.
But this glove is made of sea lou stone, but I can’t touch it, otherwise I will be exhausted.
The glove is green all over, soft in texture, and is inlaid with a layer of fine green crystals, and these green crystals are sea lou stones, the gloves emit sea-like energy, quiet and serene, but they are the natural enemies of the Devil Fruit ability.
Rey grabbed the gloves and felt a coolness, very comfortable, he looked at the gloves fixedly, his mind flashed, and then said to Luffy: “Hehe, you kid is really lucky, this kind of baby was actually obtained by you.” ”
“Baby? Grandpa Rey, what are you talking about? This is just a pair of gloves, although it is made of sea lou stone, but it is nothing unusual! Luffy pouted, feeling that Grandpa Rey was a little fussy and treating everything as a treasure, “And I’m very afraid of the sea lou stone, it will make my limbs weak.” ”
Rey couldn’t help but knock Luffy’s head hard: “You big fool, you didn’t expect such a shrewdness?” ”
“What comes to mind?” Luffy covered his head and asked, since before he didn’t understand, why did Grandpa Rey always feel pain every time he hit himself? I am a rubber man, it should be impossible to feel pain according to reason, but I do feel this subtle pain, which is really strange to think about!
Rey put the sea lou stone gloves in front of Luffy and said, “This is the sea lou stone, right?” ”
“Yes.” Luffy nodded back.
“Sea Lou Stone is the nemesis of all Devil Fruit powers, right?”
“Yes.”
“If you wear this pair of gloves, can you beat the entity of a natural ability?”
“Yes.”
Luffy patted his head and suddenly shouted, “Wow, why didn’t I think of it before?” Haha, Grandpa Rey, you are too smart! ”
“It’s not that I’m smart, it’s that you’re stupid!” Rey’s wrinkled face showed a proud look.
