109: Chapter 109 TrainingAfter handing the new clone over to Xu Que, Luffy returned to the Going Merry.Seeing his companions training diligently, Luffy gathered them together and told them about his idea of training for a while.Vivi was the first to object.
"No, this is too much of a waste of time.If we're any later, my country will."
Luffy interrupted her directly: "Are you stupid?This time, our enemy is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.Although I am very strong, it doesn't mean that my crew can easily defeat his subordinates.So before that, I must give my crew some special training."
After saying that, Luffy ignored Vivi's expression and opened the training room, bringing everyone except Vivi inside, leaving Vivi muttering to herself.
Watching the crowd disappear, Vivi angrily sat down on the shore, venting her frustration on the sand in front of her.Just then, Vivi felt a pain in her waist, but she didn't pay it any mind and continued to take her anger out on the sand.
Sand: ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3
Although the group was a little puzzled by Luffy's actions upon entering the training room, they understood when they thought about the enemy they were about to face.So, under Luffy's guidance, they began to train diligently.
"Luffy, can you use your previous breathing technique to fight me for a while?" Zoro suddenly asked Luffy.
"Sure, in that case, Coby, you watch closely from the side, and I'll teach you the breathing technique later." After agreeing to Zoro's request, Luffy also thought of Coby's Devil Fruit ability, so he had Coby observe and learn from the side.
Zoro took a deep breath and assumed a three-sword style stance, while Luffy drew his sword and stood opposite Zoro.
"Three-Sword Style: Demon Slash!" Zoro charged forward, attacking Luffy.
"Water Breathing.First Form.Water Surface Slash!" Luffy calmly used Water Breathing First Form to block Zoro's slash.Seeing that his attack failed, Zoro immediately used "Three-Sword Style.Tiger Guard" and continued to attack Luffy.
"Breath of Flames, Second Form: Rising Flames!" After deflecting Zoro's attack, Luffy immediately attacked Zoro.Zoro narrowly avoided the attack and continued to attack Luffy.
Meanwhile, Coby, watching from the sidelines, once again marveled at Luffy's strength.Shortly after, Zoro stopped, panting, and looked at the composed Luffy before him.He then assumed a stance for his Three-Sword Style technique.Upon seeing this, a hint of approval flashed in Luffy's eyes.During the previous battle, he had clearly sensed that Zoro's strength had increased significantly.So, Luffy also assumed a stance, preparing for a final showdown with Zoro.
"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: The Great Thousand Worlds"
"Breath of Flames, Fifth Form: Flame Tiger"
The two unleashed their respective skills and charged at each other.Despite Zoro's best efforts, he was still devoured by the fiery tiger conjured by Luffy.When the flames subsided, Luffy's sword tip was seen gently pressed against Zoro's throat.Zoro readily admitted defeat and went to the side to absorb experience.Luffy then walked up to Coby and asked him how he felt.
"Wow, that's amazing, Mr.Luffy!Can I learn such powerful techniques too?" Coby asked excitedly.
Luffy nodded, then pulled Coby aside and began explaining the most basic knowledge of breathing techniques to him.Once Coby had mastered it, Luffy decided to test which breathing technique suited Coby best.
