Lu En's room door was gently knocked open. A beautiful figure walked in, treading lightly. "Lu En." Nami's lips curled into a smile, looking at Lu En, who was sleeping soundly in bed. On the day before reaching Loguetown, Lu En stopped training. He had been sleeping until now.
This was the hidden effect of the SuperhumanDemonic Beast Physique (Deep Purple) that Lu En discovered through training.
Through training, battling, and accumulating fatigue, then by sleeping for an extended period, one's physical condition could recover to its optimal state, and even become stronger.
Just like ordinary people on Earth, if they want to strengthen their physique, they also strengthen while sleeping. Although Lu En possessed the SuperhumanDemonic Beast Physique, Zoro had Demonic Beast Physique, and Luffy had Superhuman Physique,
they also needed to alleviate their accumulated fatigue through sleep. And their accumulated fatigue after training was higher than before. In the original work, after major battles, Zoro and Luffy would both sleep for an extended period, even days. That was the reason.
Nami carefully sat on the edge of Lu En's bed, quietly watching Lu En. Looking at Lu En, Nami's mind recalled their acquaintance and the entire process of Lu En saving her. From acquaintance,
to knowing each other, then... Nami thought of that kiss she gave Lu En in Arlong Park. Her cheeks flushed slightly. Nami gently touched Lu En's cheek. That was where she kissed him last time. But the next moment, Nami's pretty face flushed crimson.
"Lu, Lu En?" Nami stammered, watching Lu En open his eyes. "Early, early morning. The weather, the weather's really good. I'm leaving first." Nami found a clumsy excuse and wanted to slip away. "Ah!" The next moment, Nami cried out in surprise, her body levitating.
Staring at Lu En's face up close, Nami could even feel Lu En's breath, his blushing face tempting her. "Are you here to steal something? Little cat burglar." Lu En looked at Nami's blushing face, a teasing smile playing on his lips.
"Me? I wouldn't steal your things." "I, I'm here to wake you up. We're almost at Loguetown, idiot." Nami shrank her neck, wanting to slip away. "Is that so? But I feel like you stole something from me?" Lu En looked at the blushing Nami and said seriously.
Nami wanted to retort, but then she saw Lu En pointing at her cheek, where he had just touched her. "You stole this." Lu En pointed at his own cheek, smiling at Nami. "You originally wanted to wake me up like this, right? Like in Cocoyasi Village.
But now you're trying to escape. Aren't you stealing something that belongs to me?" Lu En's lips curved slightly. "Who, who said that? I was originally innocent." Nami was speechless. Who told her to witness Lu En sleeping?
Her mind recalled the entire process of meeting and being saved by Lu En. She couldn't help but feel ashamed. But Nami still wanted to make one last struggle.
"Nami! Lu En! Look, Loguetown has arrived!" At this moment, Luffy suddenly shouted loudly, startling Nami. But Nami saw that Lu En didn't effectively let go of her, which made her blush with fright.
Because of her experience in Cocoyasi Village, she should have long shed her innocent little girl appearance, but facing Lu En, Nami always reverted to the little girl she should be at this age.
"So, do you want to give me back what you stole, little cat burglar?" Lu En's lips curled slightly. "!!!" Feeling the warmth on her cheek, and seeing Nami escaping as if fleeing, Lu En chuckled. Nami was truly adorable.
"So that's Loguetown?" After dressing neatly, Lu En walked onto the deck, looking at the distant, brightly lit town. This was where the Pirate King was born and executed, so it was known as the town of "beginning and end." In the past, this town was very chaotic.
Loguetown was located near the entrance of the Grand Line. It was a place for pirates to go to the Grand Line, and their last chance to resupply. It was also the birthplace and death place of the Pirate King.
Many pirates would come to follow in the Pirate King's footsteps. This also caused pirates, bounty hunters, and Marines to constantly clash and mix here. But ever since the Marine branch here became Smoker, everything changed.
Logia Devil Fruit users were invincible in the East Blue. No pirate could escape Smoker's pursuit. It could be said that the East Blue, also known as the weakest sea, also had Smoker's credit.
After all, those who could come here to the Grand Line were all relatively strong pirates in the East Blue. To take out all these pirates, the East Blue had no one with the ability or ambition to go to the Grand Line.
However, Smoker had become Lu En's prey. Nami secretly glanced at Lu En, then, feigning indifference, looked at Loguetown. Lu En looked at Nami's flushed face. It was very cute, and a little funny.
Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji all showed smiles as they looked at Loguetown at this moment. From here on, they would officially enter the Grand Line. Their dreams would also officially set sail.
Soon, Lu En and the others docked. "What a big town!" Luffy grinned, looking at the very prosperous Loguetown. "I want to go see the Pirate King's execution platform!" Luffy showed an excited smile, and without waiting for Lu En and the others to reply, he rushed towards Loguetown like a wisp of smoke.
"Hey, Luffy, we haven't even confirmed the meeting place yet!" Usopp shouted from behind, but Luffy had already vanished into the crowd. "He's really... this guy is still so carefree!" Usopp was utterly helpless. "Let him be happy. We'll also resupply. This is our last resupply before entering the Grand Line."
Lu En chuckled. He didn't know if Buggy's pirate group came here for revenge, as in the original story. But Luffy's old man, Monkey D. Dragon, also arrived here. Even if it was still like in the original story,
and Luffy was publicly executed by Buggy, there was no need to worry. Dragon would flatten everything. Lu En wasn't interested in Gol D. Roger's execution platform. He let Luffy go on his own.
"I'm going to buy two swords." Zoro said. As a three-sword style user who was about to enter the Grand Line, he also had to replace his three swords.
"Buy swords? Do you have money? Zoro." Hearing Zoro say this, Nami's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a shrewd expression. "No, no." Zoro's eyes twitched when he heard the word "money."
"I can lend it to you!" Nami's words made Zoro ecstatic. Nami, this guy, at critical moments, she was still reliable. Yes, Nami had also earned money before to save her hometown, and she left the nearly one hundred million Berry in her hometown, lending him some money from the district.
"But you have to return three times the amount." Before Zoro could be happy for a moment, Nami's eyes had already turned into the shape of Berry. "You bastard! You haven't changed at all!" Zoro's mouth twitched. "Then do you want to borrow or not? Let me tell you, you can't renege on a loan."
Nami grabbed Lu En's arm, making him chuckle lightly. With Lu En shielding her, Nami felt quite confident. Lu En looked at Nami, who had turned into a little money-grubber, and chuckled. "I'll borrow it!" Finally, Zoro chose to borrow Nami's exorbitant interest. "Then I'm going shopping, Lu En." Sanji's face twisted as he looked at Lu En.
Nami then looked at Lu En with a beaming smile. "Ah, have fun playing." Lu En chuckled. The horror of shopping with a girl, Lu En had already experienced on Earth. That feeling was truly unbearable.
Moreover, Lu En still had his own plan. "I'm also going to see if there are any good ingredients, and many pretty big sisters!" Sanji's first half of the sentence was still very serious, then his eyes turned into hearts, and he quickly disappeared on the spot.
"That pervert chef." Zoro's mouth twitched as he watched Sanji disappear into the crowd. "Then, Lu En, I'll also go buy some things, protective goggles, and make some things too." Usopp greeted them, then walked towards Loguetown. "Go, Zoro. Do as I say." Lu En looked at the disappearing figures and then at Zoro. "Understood." Zoro's lips curved.
Loguetown Marine Branch, Captain's Office. "Puff! Puff! Puff!" At this, smoke filled the entire room, making it impossible to see the situation inside. "Screech!" The office door was abruptly opened. "Captain Smoker! Something's wrong!" A Marine soldier rushed in,
his face full of fear. "News from Headquarters: Straw Hat Luffy and his crew are heading to Loguetown!" "Captain Straw Hat, Luffy, bounty 45,000,000 Berry!" The Marine soldier said this, and his forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat,
his face filled with terror. "Among the Straw Hats, there's also 'Heavenly King' Lu En, with a bounty of 100,000,000 Berry!" The Marine soldier's face was covered in cold sweat. He cried out in surprise, humiliating himself in this way.
One hundred million Berry! He had been in Loguetown for so long, he had never seen such a high bounty. This bounty, even in the Grand Line, was considered an absolute great pirate! "One hundred million? Not a minor character, huh? This bounty." In the smoke, a figure slowly appeared.
"Captain! They actually defeated Buggy's crew, and killed Arlong's crew! 'Heavenly King' Lu En is also the former Captain of Marine Branch 16!" This Marine soldier, seeing Smoker's calm demeanor, felt a little relieved, and also quickly reminded him.
"Calm down, you're all making such a big fuss, and you failed again." Smoker stood up, opened the window, and dispersed the smoke in the office. He was training his Smoke-Smoke Fruit ability. "So, what were you just saying?" Smoker turned around.
"News from Headquarters: the Straw Hats are expected to arrive in Loguetown today!" The Marine soldier stood at attention, but the cold sweat on his forehead and the horror in his eyes were still uncontrollable. "A great pirate with a bounty of one hundred million! About to land in Loguetown!"
"Don't panic! Since I'm here, can pirates who have made trouble here still escape?" Seeking fresh flowers. Smoker put on his coat of justice and took a drag of his cigar. "No, never!"
Looking at Smoker, this Marine soldier gulped. In his heart, he thought: "One hundred million Berry, not a small sum, this is truly a big pirate!"
At this moment, after resolving the issue with Cocoyasi Village, Lu En and the others, with their pirate group established, were on their way to Loguetown, the town known as "the beginning and the end," where the Pirate King was born, and where he was executed.
On board the Going Merry.
"Oh, no!" Nami had just bought a newspaper from the News Coo. After complaining about the price increase again, she looked at the two bounties that fell out of the newspaper and was startled.
"Lu En! Luffy! You've been given bounties!" Nami shrieked in alarm.
"What? I've been given a bounty?!" Luffy, who was still sitting in his exclusive "first-class" seat, immediately rushed over excitedly. "Look, everyone! I have a bounty! 45,000,000 Berries!" Luffy excitedly held up his bounty poster, showing it to his companions.
For a pirate, nothing could showcase a pirate's strength and fame better than a bounty. Luffy had always dreamed of a high bounty. Zoro and Sanji also felt their fighting spirit ignite. Bounties were an affirmation of a pirate's strength. Since they were pirates, they naturally wanted to obtain super high bounties.
"Huh? Is Lu En's bounty 10 million? That's quite low, huh." Luffy, who was bad at math, grinned, holding up Lu En's bounty poster. "10 million? Lu En? How is that possible?" Sanji, Usopp, and Zoro all expressed disbelief. They had all witnessed Lu En's strength. He was far stronger than Luffy. How could Lu En's bounty be so low compared to Luffy's?
"Let me see." Sanji took Luffy's bounty poster, then Lu En's, and carefully examined them. "Ten, hundred, thousand... ten million, hundred million..." Sanji looked at the numbers on Lu En's bounty poster, his face gradually turning pale with sweat.
"Idiot! This isn't ten million Berry!" Sanji looked horrified. "This is one hundred million Berry!!!" Sanji cried out in shock. "What?! One hundred million Berry?!" Hearing this terrifying number, Usopp was so scared his eyes crossed. "One hundred million, one hundred million, one hundred million Berry?!" Nami also pursed her red lips, her face filled with disbelief.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. What was the concept of one hundred million Berry?! Arlong's 20 million Berry was the highest bounty in the East Blue. In the East Blue, anything over 10 million Berry was considered a legend.
Nami had never heard of any pirate in the East Blue whose bounty reached one hundred million Berry. Looking at Lu En, Nami's beautiful eyes were also filled with worry. This bounty, Lu En, she feared he would be targeted by powerful Marines or pirates.
"One hundred million Berry?!" Luffy's eyes widened, and he cried out in surprise. Lu En's bounty was actually so much higher than his? Luffy looked at Lu En's bounty poster with a hint of envy, then clenched his fists to encourage himself.
Luffy would naturally not envy his comrades, but would see this as motivation. He also wanted to obtain a super high bounty! To catch up to Lu En!
"Has it finally arrived? One hundred million Berry?" Lu En took his bounty poster from Sanji's hand, a slight curve forming at the corner of his lips. This was his first bounty, and he was quite satisfied with such a high one.
"Capacity has increased, Conqueror's Haki strength increased." A line of light screen appeared. Sure enough, the amount of a pirate's bounty could be used to enhance one's capacity, thereby enhancing Haki.
Seeing Sanji, Usopp, and Luffy's exaggerated reactions, Lu En's lips curled slightly. This feeling was quite good. The process of increasing bounty, thereby acquiring capacity and strengthening Haki,
was very compatible with the Beast Haki system. A higher bounty would naturally attract stronger Marines and pirates who wanted to step on the high bounty, thereby becoming famous pirates in the sea. Those who could survive in this "fostering" process could possess stronger Haki.
"One hundred million Berry." Hearing this astonishing number, Zoro's eyes became serious. As a former bounty hunter, Zoro knew very well what this bounty represented. Let alone the weakest sea of the East Blue,
even in the Grand Line, this bounty could be called a great pirate. With such a bounty, what they would face in the future would no longer be branch Marines, or some minor characters. Instead, it would be Marine Headquarters! And those powerful pirates!
Zoro felt the recovery of his body after a period of tempering. Although he still felt some soreness, he could continue to train. "Zoro, where are you going?" Luffy saw Zoro stand up and walk towards the ship's cabin,
and asked curiously. "To train." Zoro's gaze was firm. He had promised Lu En, and also Luffy. He would never lose again! He would soon face enemies much stronger than before. He had to cherish every second and train harder.
"I'll go with you." Lu En understood Zoro's thoughts and also chuckled. "I'll go too! I want to learn Haki!" Luffy also shouted loudly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Lu En's one hundred million Berry bounty ignited Luffy's fierce fighting spirit.
"Today's meal is almost finished. I'll go train too." Sanji took a deep breath, and said seriously. (bfbb) Truly. Lu En and the others, letting him embark on the path of chasing dreams. Although he was a chef, he also had to do his part for his companions.
"Ho! Brothers! Follow Lu En and learn Haki!" Luffy grabbed Zoro and Sanji, shouting excitedly. Zoro and Sanji's mouths twitched slightly, and they looked at Luffy with enthusiasm.
If they didn't cooperate, Luffy wouldn't let them off. Zoro and Sanji could only cooperate and raise their fists. "Oh, oh!" But Zoro and Sanji's eyes also flickered with light. Haki, they must learn! For their dreams and ambition! And also for their companions!
...
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" Along with three loud thuds, Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro were pounded into the wall by Lu En, half-buried and unable to get out for a long time. "So painful! Zoro, quickly save me!" Luffy's head was smashed into the wall. It was made of rubber, very elastic, and somewhat hard to pull out.
"I'm impressed." Sanji gasped heavily, pulling Luffy's head out of the wall. "Hiss, hiss, hiss! Lu En, how do you feel stronger again?" Luffy's fangs gnashed, looking at Lu En in surprise. "Indeed, stronger than before." Zoro's eyes were filled with unparalleled solemnity.
His injuries were almost healed, plus the addition of eyebrow curling. As a result, in front of Lu En, he still had no power to retaliate. "Haki hitting the body is no joke." Sanji's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he rubbed his leg. This was because it hurt. "You three, remember clearly the feeling of Haki hitting your body."
Lu En looked at the three Luffy, who were already at their limits, and said: If you want to learn Haki, you still have to rely on yourselves. However, Lu En's training was not over. Subsequently, Lu En, bearing a terrifying burden, began to train. His physique, under the effect of his Superhuman*Demonic Beast Physique, continuously strengthened.
SuperhumanDemonic Beast Physique, formed by the fusion of Luffy's Superhuman Physique and Zoro's Demonic Beast Physique. In terms of pure muscle and bone repair speed, the current Lu En is about twice that of Zoro. Moreover, this gap is still widening.
This is because the SuperhumanDemonic Beast Physique also has a terrifying absorption capacity beyond Luffy's Superhuman Physique. The stronger the physique, the stronger the absorption capacity,
and the stronger Lu En's ability to repair muscles and bones. Combining the strong absorption capacity of the Transcendent Superhuman Physique, Lu En's physique strengthening speed is about five times that of Luffy and Zoro combined!
This entry, as Lu En had initially expected, rapidly strengthened his physique at an extremely terrifying speed. Just a few days of training allowed Lu En's Superhuman*Demonic Beast Physique to increase by one deep purple-level entry,
and the speed of its strengthening was incredibly astonishing. Moreover, as Lu En's physique strengthened, Lu En's absorption speed would increase even further, repairing muscles and bones faster. Lu En could also increase his training intensity, forming a virtuous cycle.
Superhuman*Demonic Beast Physique, the speed of physique strengthening, not only did not decrease as Lu En's physique strengthened, but it also became faster!
Furthermore, in the process of Lu En strengthening his physique, he could also activate the "Born of the Sea" entry, continuously strengthening his Haki.
This clear and distinct feeling of becoming stronger was incredibly beautiful. In his previous life on Earth, effort didn't necessarily guarantee rewards. But now, as long as he worked hard to train, he could clearly feel himself getting stronger. Lu En was completely immersed in his training.
Looking at the already so strong Lu En, and then at the diligently training Zoro, Zoro endured the pain in his body and also picked up a huge barbell, mimicking the action of swinging a sword, and began to train.
During the training, the feeling of being hit on the body by Lu En's Haki echoed in his mind. He tried to grasp this feeling and then learned Haki.
"How exactly can I become stronger?" Luffy was lost in thought. His companions were all so diligent. As the captain, he had to become even stronger. In terms of Haki, Luffy also knew that he couldn't learn it in a short time. Luffy was a straightforward person and had a clear understanding of himself.
Even Ace and Sabo, who became blood brothers in childhood, he was the worst among the three in terms of combat talent. Even after eating the Devil Fruit, he still couldn't control the Devil Fruit. And his initial use of rubber abilities could be said to be rare. At first, Luffy often tied himself up with his rubber body.
So Luffy clearly knew that he couldn't learn Haki in a short time, and he wouldn't be able to. Then how to become stronger in a short time, he still had to start with the Devil Fruit. This was his advantage over Lu En and Zoro.
Luffy constantly stretched his arms, and stretched his legs, continuously pondering. "Hmm?" Lu En, who was training his physique, heard this and felt Color Haki. Is he starting to research the power of Gear Second and Gear Third? Lu En secretly thought.
For the use of Gear Second and Gear Third, the requirements for physique were very high. It would cause a huge burden on Luffy's body. In the timeline of Enies Lobby in the original story,
Luffy had already traveled most of the first half of the Grand Line and was about to reach Sabaody Archipelago. In that situation, when Luffy used Gear Second and Gear Third, his body completely couldn't handle it.
