Chapter 45: Strength Breakthrough (Thanks To Zheng Ze Guy For The Monthly Ticket, Thank You.)
"Ahhhhhh..."
"Ahhhhhh..."
Luffy was lying in Uta's arms, eating the food Uta fed him, feeling happy.
While he was eating, his [rapid digestion] ability was activated.
The nutrients in the food he eats are absorbed instantly, and his physical strength and physique are gradually restored and strengthened.
And his skin, which looked like it was being burned, was also beginning to heal itself.
After a delicious meal, Luffy and others asked Zhefu for a small boat.
They still have to bring Nami back!
Before leaving, Luffy looked at Sanji standing on the deck of Barati and said.
"Sanji, come with us!"
Sanji couldn't help being stunned when he heard this and fell into hesitation.
After seeing the power displayed by Luffy, he once felt like a frog in a well, with an extremely poor understanding of the world.
He really wants to go to sea with Luffy and find the legendary ALLBLUE.
but...
He couldn't help but look back at Zhefu.
"What else are you thinking about, you brat? Get out of here, Laozi!"
Tetsuo kicked Sanji into the boat of Luffy's group, and was caught by Usopp, who then threw the luggage he had packed for Sanji over.
"Smelly old man..."
Sanji gritted his teeth and groaned angrily.
Suddenly, he fell to his knees, tears pouring out of his eyes instantly.
"Old man Zhefu..."
Sanji cried and shouted, then knocked his head down hard.
"Thank you for taking care of me for so long..."
"I will never forget this kindness for the rest of my life..."
Come on Bharati!
Zhefu, Paddy and other chefs had tears in their eyes.
"Asshole! I will be very lonely if you leave."
"me too!"
"I'm so sad!"
...
On the boat!
Sanji cried and looked up at the familiar people opposite and said.
"Goodbye, everyone!"
Meanwhile, Luffy shouted loudly.
"sail!!!"
...
When Luffy and his gang were chasing Nami in the direction he left, Luffy finally relaxed and began to rest.
Only after adequate rest will the ability of [Extreme Strengthening] be activated.
Luffy is full of expectations for how far he will grow in time.
...
"Your understanding is heaven-defying. Through [Extreme Strengthening], your physique has been strengthened."
"Your understanding is heaven-defying. Through [Extreme Strengthening], your Observation Haki has been strengthened."
"Your understanding is heaven-defying. Through [Extreme Strengthening], your Armament Haki has been strengthened."
"Your understanding is heaven-defying, your exclusive skill [Eight Inner Gates] has been broken through, and you can open the Eighth Gate - the door of death."
"Your comprehensive strength has achieved a breakthrough."
After waking up again, a large amount of information flooded into Luffy's mind.
When he sorted out the improvements he had received, Luffy was immediately overjoyed.
This extreme battle brought him a huge improvement.
Not only did he successfully break through the Eighth Gate of the Eight Inner Gates, it also allowed him to advance to another level of strength.
Now Luffy, without opening Eight Inner Gates, has reached the height of Admiral candidate.
And Luffy can strongly feel that this advancement in strength is not just about reaching the advancement threshold.
But it spans a long distance.
The gap from Admiral is very small.
Luffy is confident that if his Conqueror's Haki can be improved again and his top fighting method can be strengthened, he can reach the strength of Admiral even if the fruit is not awakened.
But now, with Eight Inner Gates activated, he is strong enough to fight Admiral.
As for the ultimate move, there is [Batang·Dayhu], which is the strongest attack that can surpass the top powerhouse like Hawkeye.
The normal attack has the enhanced [Emission] of the weapon color when the Eight Inner Gates are open, which is enough to surpass anyone's weapon color today.
In addition to its rapid consumption and limited maintenance time, his other combat abilities are above those of Admiral.
[PS: A brother in the comment area mentioned the problem of the Eight Inner Gates setting. I later saw the official explanation on the encyclopedia, saying that this ability is mainly to relieve the body's restrictions on Chakra and release the excess Chakra in the body. What I understand means is that for example, if there are 100 points of Chakra in the body, a maximum of 30 points can be released at a time. Then when the restriction is lifted, more can be released, and the combat power will be increased accordingly based on the 30 points. If you move to One Piece, there are three types of Haki, and the three types of Haki cannot be mixed together. So the setting I gave is that after turning on Eight Inner Gates, the sight color, weapon color, and Conqueror's will be improved accordingly. I won’t say that all attack methods will be improved ten times or dozens of times at once, otherwise everyone will die in one move, and there will be no need to write about it. I hope everyone can understand. Then the ultimate move [Night Guy] will be set to condense all Haki and explode. 】
...
After sorting out his current abilities and strength, Luffy slowly opened his eyes.
"Luffy, you wake up!"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Uta's voice of surprise reached Luffy's ears.
Before Luffy had time to react, he was suddenly hugged tightly by Uta, and huge tears kept falling on Luffy's face.
Then, he heard Uta whimper.
"Ugh...you've been sleeping for three days and three nights. You're worried about me."
Luffy smiled, patted Uta on the head, and said softly.
"I'm just a little tired. I just slept a little longer. It's okay."
Uta's cries gradually faded after hearing this, and she suddenly remembered something. She picked up a bag of dry food that they had prepared when they left Barati and brought it to Luffy.
"Luffy, you haven't eaten in three days, you must be hungry!"
After Uta said this, Luffy realized that his stomach was empty, and a strong sense of hunger came over him instantly.
After taking the dry food, he ate it with big mouthfuls, squeezing out a sentence from his overflowing mouth.
"Thanks!"
Uta's eyes were smiling and curved into crescent moons. She nodded slightly and watched Luffy eating quietly.
"Speaking of which, Luffy, have you become stronger?"
At this time, Zoro, who had not fully recovered from his injury, suddenly asked. He vaguely felt that Luffy's aura seemed to have improved to a higher level.
Luffy answered casually while eating.
"Yeah! We can almost fight Marine Admiral!"
"!!!"
As soon as these words came out, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp were all shocked. Their pupils flickered and their mouths opened wide in shock.
"Hai... Marine Admiral?!"
"That's Marine's highest combat power!"
"Are you already so strong?!"
After sighing, the three of them fell into silence, and secretly made up their minds to work harder, otherwise they would not be worthy of being Luffy's partner!
Luffy asked after finishing the dry food and scanning the boundless sea around him.
"Speaking of which, where are we now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small island in the distance in a certain direction.
At this time, Uta also answered him.
"We have been sailing in the direction Nami left. She should have reached the island in front of her."
Zoro also said at this time.
"Joseph and Johnny told me when they left us that the direction Nami was walking leads to a village called Cocosia Village. However, it is said that there is a group of fish-man pirates entrenched near this village."
Luffy looked at the island that was getting closer, fisted his hands, and said.
"Let's go bring that stupid navigator back!"
