Chapter 26: Luffy's Conqueror's Haki Training Plan
The morning sun sprinkled across the boundless water, making the sea surface appear as if covered with a layer of crushed gold, shimmering with a captivating luster as the waves rose and fell.
The going merry swayed gently, its bow parting the waves and splashing crystal-clear water droplets that refracted brilliant light.
Lin Ning leaned against the ship's railing, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over everyone on the deck.
His voice was calm and gentle as he said, "Today's training is different from before. This time, we will undergo a dual enhancement of mental will."
"Mental will again!" Nami rubbed her temples, looking distressed. "Last time was already deadly enough; now it's happening again?"
Usopp instantly bristled upon hearing this and quickly waved his hands, "Lin Ning, calm down! I almost fainted last time. It's not upgraded again, is it?"
"It's upgraded," Lin Ning's voice remained calm, yet it struck them like a heavy hammer. "And it's not a normal upgrade."
"Ah?!" Usopp directly collapsed to the ground, hands covering his head. "It's over, it's over, this time it's really going to kill us!"
Zoro sat nearby, already with his eyes closed in meditation. Hearing this, he merely snorted, "Hmph, if you're afraid of death, then don't be a pirate."
"Zoro, shut up! Who's afraid of death? I, Usopp, am a brave warrior of the sea!" Usopp jumped up to retort, but the fear on his face betrayed his true feelings.
Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, spoke with a hint of teasing, "Usopp, stop being so stubborn. Lin Ning hasn't even said to start yet, and you're already on the verge of crying, aren't you?"
Nami glared fiercely at Sanji, "You shut up, Sanji! Didn't you throw up for half the day last time?!"
"That was..." Sanji tried to retort, but seeing Nami's icy gaze, he swallowed his words.
Luffy sat casually nearby, scratching his head. "Lin Ning, what did you mean by 'dual enhancement' just now?"
Lin Ning turned to Luffy, his tone becoming more serious:
"Luffy, the core of this training is you. Your Conqueror's Haki has only recently Awakened, but your control is too weak.
Today's training is for you to learn how to use your Conqueror's Haki to protect others."
"Protect?" Luffy tilted his head, not quite understanding.
Lin Ning nodded, his tone becoming slower:
"In a moment, I will use my Conqueror's Haki to directly exert immense mental pressure on Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp.
You need to use your Conqueror's Haki to provide them with protection, allowing them to endure this pressure without fainting."
"What if I don't control it well? What will happen to them?" Luffy blinked, asking innocently.
"They'll faint," Lin Ning replied calmly. "It might also cause mental trauma."
"Or they might just pass out cold," Zoro added, his tone even carrying a hint of anticipation.
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense!" Usopp instantly broke down. "Lin Ning, are you playing with our lives?!"
Lin Ning glanced at Usopp. "This isn't a joke, it's training. If you don't want to get stronger, then go back to the cabin yourself."
"Get stronger... of course I want to!" Nami clenched her fists. Although her face was pale, she still bit the bullet and nodded. "Bring it on! I'm not afraid!"
Usopp's face was bitter. "Can I say no?"
"No," Lin Ning interrupted him directly. "Alright, Luffy, are you ready?"
Luffy scratched his head, revealing a bright smile. "Don't worry, Lin Ning! I won't let them faint!"
Lin Ning took a deep breath, and the aura around his body began to change.
An invisible pressure emanated from him, quickly covering the entire deck like a tide.
"This pressure..." Zoro's eyes snapped open, and fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to remain calm.
"Ah—it feels like my head is being crushed!" Usopp clutched his head, his face pale, his legs weak.
"Lin Ning, are you crazy! This is much stronger than last time!"
Nami shouted while gripping the deck tightly, her knuckles white from the effort.
The smile had long vanished from Sanji's face, and veins bulged on his forehead. "This guy... he's a monster!"
"This is just the beginning, Luffy. Use your Conqueror's Haki to protect them!"
Lin Ning's voice rang out, striking everyone's eardrums like thunder:
"I'm going to gradually increase it!"
Luffy blinked, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
A moment later, a wave of Conqueror's Haki emanated from him, meeting Lin Ning's aura in mid-air.
"It worked?" Zoro was surprised to find that the suffocating pressure had suddenly lessened considerably.
Nami also clearly felt the change. "Luffy, thank you, I almost fainted just now."
Usopp had collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. "You scared me to death; I thought I was going to die just now."
Lin Ning glanced at Luffy and nodded slightly. "Not bad, barely passing this time. Try a few more times to learn precise control."
"Yay! Bring it on, I'll protect everyone!" Luffy jumped up excitedly, his face full of pride.
"Don't be happy too soon," Lin Ning said coldly. "This is just the beginning; there's more training waiting for you."
Everyone who had just finished their mental will training was now sprawled on the deck, gasping for breath.
The gentle sea breeze blew, bringing a refreshing coolness that offered some comfort to the exhausted group.
"Ah, I can't take it anymore! If this keeps up, my mind is really going to break!" Usopp lay spread-eagled, looking up at the sky, appearing on the verge of death.
"Hah, how useless." Zoro leaned against the railing, holding a sake flask, taking a swig while displaying a disdainful expression.
Usopp sprang up, pointing at Zoro to retort, but quickly deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping back to the ground. "Never mind, I don't even have the energy to argue."
Just then, a large bird flapped its wings, flying from a distance and landing steadily on the ship's railing.
It wore a small hat and had a small bag hanging around its neck, a news bird sent to deliver messages.
News birds work for the World Economic News, their main task being to distribute newspapers, transmit information, and advertisements.
It tilted its head, opened its beak, and let out a "Chirp, chirp" sound, seemingly urging them on.
"A news bird!" Nami stood up, her exhaustion evident, but she still walked over and took a newspaper from the bag:
"Why did the newspaper price go up again? It used to be thirty Berries, and now it's fifty Berries!" She complained while pulling money from her pocket.
The news bird narrowed its eyes, looking like it didn't care if she bought it or not, and ruffled its wings, clearly showing no remorse for the price increase.
"This is highway robbery," Nami grumbled as she handed over the money, then took the newspaper and opened it, revealing two wanted posters.
Unexpectedly, after just a glance, she froze, then her eyes widened, and she exclaimed:
"Luffy! Lin Ning! There are wanted posters for both of you!"

#27Lin Ning and Luffy's bounty
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Chapter 27 Lin Ning and Luffy's Bounty
On the deck of the going merry.
"What?!" Luffy exclaimed, jumping up and moving closer to Nami. "Is it about us?"
Nami didn't speak; she simply spread open the newspaper. Two familiar faces appeared before everyone, with the following annotations beside them:
Luffy, Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Bounty: 100,000,000 Berries! Must be captured alive!
Lin Ning, first mate of the Straw Hat Pirates, Bounty: 100,000,000 Berries! Must be captured alive!
Lin Ning's bounty poster had Marine Base 16 as its background. With black hair and black eyes, he stood on the Marine base's position, surrounded by unconscious Marines.
An invisible aura seemed to spread around him; his eyes were sharp as blades, and an air of unrivaled Haki emanated from his brows, like a king looking down on all living beings.
"This photo... so cool!" Usopp exclaimed in surprise, looking up at Lin Ning, then down at the bounty poster, unable to help but marvel, "It's just like you!"
"Naturally," Lin Ning leaned against the ship's railing, a slight smile on his lips, seemingly unsurprised by such a description.
Luffy's bounty poster, however, was completely different; his background was the Sea Restaurant.
In the photo, he was holding his straw hat with one hand and had the other on his hip, revealing a wide, toothy grin, smiling brilliantly.
"Hahahaha! I have a bounty!" Luffy saw his own photo and instantly started jumping around the deck in delight:
"100,000,000 Berries! I'm a hundred-million-Berries pirate!"
"Idiot," Zoro frowned, glancing at the text on the newspaper, then his eyes narrowed. "Wait, it says here—'Must be captured alive'?"
"Must be captured alive?" Sanji also leaned in, and after seeing that line of text, he frowned:
"That's not common. Usually, bounty posters say 'dead or alive.' Why did they specifically mark Luffy and the others as 'must be captured alive'?"
"That means the Marines are particularly interested in us," Lin Ning said in a low voice, his brows slightly furrowed.
Nami also realized the seriousness of the situation at this moment, her hands clutching the newspaper trembling slightly:
"Luffy, Lin Ning, do you know what this means? A 100,000,000 Berries bounty... The East Blue has never had one!"
"Hahaha! I'm the man who breaks records!" Luffy, however, didn't take it seriously at all. With his hands on his hips, he loudly announced to everyone, "I will definitely become the Pirate King!"
"Ah—what a stubborn ox!" Nami covered her forehead, took a deep breath, and pointed to the text on the newspaper, saying:
"Can't you be serious? This is a dangerous signal!"
"That's right," Sanji nodded. "The bounties in the East Blue have always been low; you two have broken the record!"
"Yeah, Luffy," Usopp also started to get nervous. "What does 'captured alive' mean? Could it be that Marine Headquarters is sending some powerful guy to catch us?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Zoro drew his sword, a cold smirk on his lips. "If a strong opponent really comes, it'll be a good opportunity for me to spar."
Lin Ning stood by, a thoughtful glint in his eyes. "'Captured alive'... it's probably not as simple as just the Marines being interested."
He looked up at the distant sea horizon, as if foreseeing the storm that was about to come.
In the distance, the news bird flapped its wings, gradually disappearing into the sky, and the fate of the pirate crew, along with this bounty poster, quietly entered a new chapter.
The air on the deck was somewhat restless from the earlier heated discussion about the bounty poster, but Lin Ning suddenly spoke, breaking the conversation.
"Alright," his voice was not loud, gentle yet firm. "A bounty doesn't prove anything; true strength is the foundation. Continue your training."
Luffy immediately stopped his excited bouncing, scratched his head, "Okay, Body Tempering Technique, let's keep training!"
Zoro crossed his arms, a slight smirk on his lips. "Compared to looking at bounty posters, I prefer to challenge my body's limits."
"These lunatics," Sanji, with a cigarette in his mouth, couldn't help but roll his eyes at their actions, but still neatly rolled up his sleeves:
"I'll start training too!"
On the other side, Nami and Usopp were still panting on the deck. Hearing that they had to continue training, both looked despairing.
"You want us to keep practicing now?" Usopp drawled, "I don't even have the strength to lift my arm!"
"Me too!" Nami glared at Lin Ning indignantly:
"The mental pressure just now was enough to make one collapse; now we have to continue exercising? Are you deliberately trying to torment us?"
Lin Ning turned around, his gaze calmly fixed on the two:
"You're not strong enough yet; you don't even qualify for the Body Tempering Technique's beginner level. If you want to keep up with us, you must put in more effort. Be good, train!"
The two exchanged glances, their faces full of despair, but they dared not say anything more. They could only brace themselves, stand up, and begin basic physical training.
The deck quickly returned to a busy atmosphere.
Lin Ning, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji stood in different corners, beginning to practice the Body Tempering Technique.
Their breathing became regular and deep, their muscle lines contracting and expanding with the rhythm of their breaths, each movement filled with power.
The sun shone on them, and their sweat reflected a crystal-clear glow.
Luffy impatiently shook his hands. "Lin Ning, can this Body Tempering Technique be faster? I want to get stronger sooner!"
"Shut up, focus," Lin Ning didn't look up, his voice steady, his movements meticulous. "The more impatient you are, the worse the effect. If you want to be strong, be diligent."
"Once the Rokushiki Body Tempering Technique I taught you becomes less effective for your bodies, I'll customize subsequent Body Tempering Techniques for you!"
"It's still very early; our physical fitness and strength are steadily increasing!"
Zoro didn't speak, but his focused expression showed that he completely agreed with Lin Ning's attitude.
Every one of his movements was coordinated with a special breathing technique, as if he had already entered a unique rhythm.
Sanji, on the other hand, groaned softly while practicing. "It hurts so much... but I can really feel my physical fitness getting stronger and stronger."
Because he had just started practicing the Body Tempering Technique, his body was not yet accustomed to the intensity, causing him to grimace in pain.
He was flushed red and steaming, but feeling his body slowly getting stronger, Sanji showed a satisfied smile and worked even harder.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the deck, Nami and Usopp were doing push-ups and squats.
"Nami, I think I'm going to die," Usopp groaned weakly while doing push-ups.
"If you die, no one will suffer with me," Nami retorted unceremoniously, sweat dripping from her forehead, but she gritted her teeth and didn't stop.
In the distance, the sun had not yet fully risen, and the rosy glow filtered through thin clouds, scattering across the sea surface like countless golden threads dancing.
Seagulls occasionally flew over the ship's mast, emitting crisp calls, adding a touch of vitality to the tranquil sea.
"There are fish jumping over there!" Luffy suddenly pointed to the distant sea and shouted, "Can we catch them to eat?"
"Shut up!" Sanji immediately cut him off. "Do you think I'm idle? I made the meat soup just now, and now I still have to train. I don't even have time to rest after a meal!"
"Complaining so much about training, you're not like a man at all," Zoro sneered, a hint of mockery in his voice.
"Who are you calling not a man?" Sanji immediately bristled, turning his head to glare at Zoro. "Dare to say that again?"
"Have you two had enough arguing?" Lin Ning frowned, his low voice instantly silencing the two.
His gaze swept over them, finally resting on the distant horizon. "Until we land in Loguetown, our daily training will not be less than today's."
Immediately, groans filled the deck.

#28Landing in Loguetown
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Chapter 28 Landing in Loguetown
After several weeks of long voyage, the going merry finally approached the coastline of Loguetown under the morning sun.
The sea breeze brushed their faces, and on the deck, everyone who was Cultivating was already used to this daily Cultivation.
Lin Ning, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were busy with their respective Body Tempering Techniques, sweat dripping down their muscular lines onto the deck, leaving wet marks.
"Hey, Lin Ning, look at Sanji!" Zoro said, practicing his Body Tempering Technique while glancing at Sanji who was Cultivating.
"Hmm?" Lin Ning looked up, then nodded, "Good progress, his muscle lines are much more defined, and his Physique is a lot more robust."
Sanji proudly tossed his hair, smiling, "Of course, I'm the hardest working man on the ship! Body Tempering Technique is a piece of cake."
Luffy bounced over, his face full of envy:
"Sanji, you're almost as tall as us, aren't you? If you keep growing, I'll have to look up to you!"
Sanji, who had just finished Cultivating his Body Tempering Technique, not only had a much more robust Physique with clear muscle lines, but also his height had surged by more than ten centimeters, almost catching up to Lin Ning, Zoro, and Luffy.
"Looking up is a bit much," Sanji said, a proud smile playing on his lips, "but you guys just don't get too jealous, haha!"
Nami walked over, hands on her hips, staring at Sanji for a while.
"The change is indeed huge! But if I could also Cultivate this Body Tempering Technique, would I also grow taller?"
A hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes, then she quickly looked down at her own Physique, "But, it wouldn't look good if I had too many muscles."
Lin Ning walked over and patted Nami's shoulder:
"Don't worry, once you meet the entry requirements for the Body Tempering Technique, I will adjust the Cultivation method according to your Physique, so you won't turn into a muscle woman."
Usopp leaned in, saying seriously, "Nami, do you know? I'll soon reach the minimum standard for the Body Tempering Technique!"
Although they had seen Lin Ning, Luffy, and Zoro's height and Physique change in a short time when they first Cultivated the Body Tempering Technique, it still amazed Usopp and Nami, and also motivated them to exercise.
They aimed to reach the Cultivation threshold of the Body Tempering Technique as soon as possible, to experience a second physical development.
"Look!" Suddenly, Zoro pointed into the distance, "The outline of the island is visible!"
"That's Loguetown!" Nami put down her map and looked up to confirm the location.
As the going merry slowly docked at Loguetown's pier, everyone had already organized their gear and was ready to go ashore.
The weather today was unusually good, the sky was clear blue, and a few seagulls circled overhead, occasionally emitting crisp calls.
The vendors on the seashore were busy setting up their stalls, their hawking rising and falling.
"Loguetown, it really is a big place." Sanji looked around, his eyes slightly bright, "There must be a market selling fresh ingredients!"
Nami nodded, "I heard the market here is famous."
"That's good, I want to buy some top-quality beef and fish to make a meal that will amaze everyone!" Sanji rubbed his hands excitedly.
Lin Ning stood aside, his gaze sweeping over the bustling crowd on the dock:
"I need to see if there are any suitable weapons, preferably long-handled weapons that are easy to use and can withstand Conqueror's Haki Coating."
"Long-handled weapon?" Luffy looked curious, "I still think using my fists is the most comfortable!"
Lin Ning shook his head, "Currently, the strength of my body is not enough to withstand too high intensity Conqueror's Haki Coating. If I can have a suitable weapon, I can exert even greater power!"
"I want to see the Execution Platform! The place where Pirate King Roger stood! I really want to see it!" Luffy shouted excitedly.
Zoro, holding wado ichimonji, showed a faint smile, "Then I'm going to buy two good swords. It's really unreasonable to always use one sword for Three Sword Style."
"I'm going to the tool shop," Usopp scratched his head, "to replenish the ship's tools and parts, I always feel like there aren't enough."
"Then I'll go for a good stroll around town," Nami calculated on her fingers, "but first, let's agree, don't go over budget!"
Nami handed out the money to everyone, not forgetting to remind them not to spend it recklessly.
Luffy, however, didn't care at all, taking the money and stuffing it directly into his pocket, "Nami, don't be so stingy!"
"I'm going to buy the best swords!" Zoro waved the money in his hand and walked towards the town without looking back.
Sanji, on the other hand, carefully put away his share, "Don't worry, Miss Nami, I will use this money to buy the highest quality ingredients."
Nami sighed, holding her forehead, "If you spend money recklessly, you won't get any next time!"
"Got it!" Everyone replied in unison.
After agreeing to meet on the shore where the going merry was docked, the few quickly dispersed, each heading towards their own goal.
Lin Ning walked alone on the streets of Loguetown, the crowd bustling, the hawkers' shouts rising and falling.
The aroma of meat wafted from the street-side restaurants, making passersby involuntarily slow down and peer inside.
"It's really lively." It was Lin Ning's first time seeing such a bustling street.
On both sides of the street, various shops stood. Clothes sellers, jewelry sellers, and even people carving small wooden statues on the spot, attracting many passersby to stop and watch.
Lin Ning had no interest in browsing these, his gaze fixed on the huge weapon shop ahead.
Two long spears stood at the entrance of the weapon shop, one on the left and one on the right, stuck in the ground, their tips glinting coldly in the sun, appearing quite imposing.
"I hope I can find a handy weapon here." Lin Ning pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes scanning the dazzling array of weapons in the shop.
Long swords, great swords, daggers, bows and crossbows, the walls were covered with various weapons.
Lin Ning walked to the long-handled weapon section and picked out a long spear to test its feel.
"Too light." He frowned, then switched to a halberd, swinging it a few times, feeling that the material was unsatisfactory, clearly unable to withstand the power of Conqueror's Haki Coating.
"Boss." Lin Ning picked up a long spear and turned to ask:
"Do you have any slightly heavier, sturdier long-handled weapons here? These are all too light."
The shop owner was a lean middle-aged man who, upon hearing this, came over, his face wreathed in smiles, and said:
"My dear customer, our shop is the most complete weapon shop in all of Loguetown! This long spear is made of the best steel, it's very sturdy!"
Lin Ning tightened his grip on the long spear slightly, and the next second, the spear shaft snapped in two with a 'crack'. He turned to look at the boss, "That's it?"
The smile on the boss's face froze for a moment, then he immediately put on a smile again:
"Ah, my dear customer, you see, perhaps this batch of goods really has some flaws, I have others, would you like to take another look?"
Next, Lin Ning tried several spears, halberds, and lances, but each weapon disappointed him.
Either the material was too brittle, or the weight was too light, simply not matching his strength.
He put the last halberd he tried back on the shelf, shook his head, and turned to leave the weapon shop.
"Forget it, I'll figure it out later." Lin Ning walked out of the shop, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, and took a deep breath.
When he returned to the going merry, the ship was still very quiet, it seemed the others hadn't returned yet.
Lin Ning stood on the deck, gazing at the distant sea, but there was always a strange unease in his heart.
"It's this feeling again..." He closed his eyes, and a scene suddenly appeared in his mind.
A very imposing old man, wearing a Marine uniform, his whole being like a towering mountain pressing down, making it hard to breathe.
One strike could shatter a small mountain!
Lin Ning suddenly opened his eyes. He vaguely had an answer in his heart, but the appearance of that figure still made him feel double the pressure.
This Marine old man was extremely powerful, giving Lin Ning an unbeatable feeling.
And his mental will was telling him that if he defeated him, his Conqueror's Haki would experience explosive growth.
He looked at his hands, clenched his fists, "It seems like a tough opponent..."
Sure enough, a massive warship with the iconic "Justice" symbol printed on its sails and a huge dog head statue adorning its bow sailed into Lin Ning's sight.

#29Navy hero Garp
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Chapter 29 Naval Hero Garp
Loguetown was within reach, and Garp's warship was steadily sailing towards the island.
This warship was the flagship of "Marine Hero" Garp, exuding an imposing Aura without needing to show anger.
The warship was massive, its deck as spacious as a small training ground, and its hull was painted a deep, stable blue.
A colossal dog head statue stood at its bow.
The sails towered skyward, and the cannons at the rear of the warship were lined up, gleaming with a cold metallic luster.
On the deck, Garp was laughing heartily, his hands tucked into the white Marine coat draped over his shoulders, looking completely relaxed.
His laughter was deep and resonant, his mustache neat, his thick eyebrows and large eyes appearing particularly spirited, and a scar on his face added a touch of majesty to him.
His tall figure, coupled with that perpetually free-spirited smile, was like a towering mountain on the ship, yet also like a kind uncle from next door.
Standing beside him, his first mate Borsalino, was completely tense.
He was a lean but extremely sturdy man, a little shorter than Garp.
His dark brown short hair was always meticulously groomed, and his sharp jawline complemented his thin face, making him appear capable and decisive.
"Vice Admiral, Loguetown is almost here," Borsalino closed the map in his hand, his tone respectful but with a hint of urgency: "According to intelligence, the Straw Hat Pirates' itinerary suggests they might choose this island as a resupply point."
"Oh? So little Luffy might be here?" Garp smiled even wider, reaching into a nearby donut bucket to pull one out and casually taking a few bites.
"Vice Admiral, should we—" Borsalino's words were cut short as the binoculars in his hand suddenly paused.
He raised an eyebrow, quickly adjusted the focus, and then stared intently through the lens.
"What's wrong?" Garp tilted his head and glanced.
Borsalino lowered his binoculars, his voice now more vigilant: "The Straw Hat's ship has been spotted, right by Loguetown's coast."
He raised his binoculars again, changing direction. This time, his gaze locked directly onto the going merry's deck.
A tall young man in a black short-sleeved shirt stood there, arms crossed, his gaze fixed straight towards them.
His black hair ruffled slightly in the sea breeze, his eyes deep, sharp yet calm, and an inherent Aura in his brows that commanded attention.
What made Borsalino feel most pressured was that this person's figure seemed to merge with the entire ship's Aura.
Even—no, it was certain, he had already detected their arrival!
"Interesting," Garp narrowed his eyes, a curve of excitement forming on his lips.
He finished the donut in his hand and walked briskly to the ship's rail, squinting at the going merry in the distance.
His tone was filled with intense interest, "Who is that kid?"
"first mate, Lin Ning," Borsalino's voice was serious as he continued to observe, "Bounty of one hundred million Berries."
"A hundred million bounty, huh?" Garp's laughter rang out again, this time with a hint of appreciation, "This kid doesn't look simple."
At the same time, on the going merry's deck, Lin Ning's gaze remained calm.
He had long sensed the approaching warship, that faint, oppressive feeling.
And the several powerful Auras emanating from the ship, all clearly transmitted into his mind.
As Garp's warship drew closer, the pressure Lin Ning felt surged like a tide.
It was an indescribable heaviness, like an invisible giant hand in the sky gradually pressing down, making it hard to breathe.
His eyes gradually sharpened, staring at the colossal object that was slowly approaching.
Every second, his heart pounded like a war drum, but he took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
This feeling was an intuition: he had been targeted by the opponent.
Suddenly, on the warship's deck, he saw the old man in a Marine officer's uniform leap up, his posture casual yet full of Haoshoku.
He clenched his fist, his entire Aura like mountains and seas, surging towards the going merry.
Before the punch even landed, its Aura had already pressed ripples into the sea, waves churning in layers, as if to devour everything.
Lin Ning's heart tightened—that old man was ridiculously strong; even a simple punch could tear the heavens and earth apart.
Garp's voice boomed: "Kid! If you can't take this punch of mine, then be buried in the sea!"
The sound waves rolled, making Lin Ning's eardrums tremble. He narrowed his eyes, feeling carefully, but found not a hint of killing intent in the opponent's fist.
This made Lin Ning breathe a slight sigh of relief, but the sense of crisis in his heart did not dissipate.
Although the opponent had no intention of taking his life, this certainly did not mean he could be underestimated.
The power of this punch, if the going merry were affected, it would likely turn into dust in an instant.
This absolutely cannot happen!
"No retreat!" Lin Ning's gaze became firm, the Conqueror's Haki Coating on his right fist flashing with black-red lightning, as if distorting the Void Realm.
He stomped his feet hard on the deck, and his entire being transformed into an arrow, rushing towards Garp.
Garp's pupils constricted slightly, then a smile of excitement curled on his lips. "Conqueror's Haki Coating, interesting!"
The Armament Haki covering his fist became even more intense, like it was forged from black gold, emitting an unbearable brilliance.
"Bang—!"
Their fists collided fiercely in mid-air!
At that instant, heaven and earth seemed to stand still for a moment, then exploded with a roar.
Black-red lightning scattered and surged, accompanied by a massive shockwave that churned the sea.
The going merry was pushed far away, making creaking noises, seeming like it could disintegrate at any moment.
The force transmitted from Lin Ning's fist was like a majestic mountain crashing down.
His body stiffened for less than a second before he was smashed into the seabed by a terrifying force.
The seawater was icy cold, but Lin Ning showed no panic.
A sharp pain shot through the bones of his right arm, clearly severely injured, but that powerful regenerative ability had already begun to take effect.
At a visible speed, his injuries were repairing at an incredible rate.
"Whoosh—" Lin Ning shot out of the sea, like a Vicious Beast freed from its cage, landing back on the going merry's deck.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes cold and focused, his entire being like a newly unsheathed sharp sword, its edge fully revealed.
Garp frowned slightly, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
He stared at Lin Ning, watching the rapidly recovering arm, and muttered in a low voice: "Such strong regenerative ability..."
However, the shock was only momentary. He then burst into laughter, stepping on the air, looking down at Lin Ning from above.
The air beneath his feet seemed to solidify, allowing him to float steadily in the air.
"Kid!" His voice was loud and powerful, as if it could pierce the sky, "I am Garp, a Marineford Vice Admiral, and also that kid Luffy's grandpa!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he grinned again: "If you don't want me to smash your ship to pieces, then come aboard my warship!"

Chapter 30: The Conditions Offered by Garp
Lin Ning stood on the deck, watching the dog head warship gradually approach, his heart surging.
He knew that he was no match for a monster like Garp now.
Luffy's grandfather felt even more terrifying than Hawkeye, the World's Strongest Swordsman he had encountered before.
He was definitely a top-tier powerhouse in this world, and Lin Ning, still growing, was far from being his opponent.
Even though Garp had no killing intent, the oppressive feeling was still suffocating.
Garp landed on the warship's deck from the air, a broad, carefree smile on his face, and called out in a relaxed tone, "Kid, come over here, let's talk."
Lin Ning's heart stirred; the other party was also Luffy's grandfather, so he couldn't stubbornly resist any longer.
Steadying himself, Lin Ning leaped onto the dog head warship, landing with a crisp, powerful sound: "Old man, what do you want to talk about with me?"
Garp looked Lin Ning over, his face full of admiration.
He laughed heartily and said, "Not bad! You, kid, have guts, strength, and even know Conqueror's Haki Coating!
How about it, join our Marine! A monster like you is too wasted as a pirate."
Having exchanged a move with Lin Ning, Garp deeply understood Lin Ning's terrifying power.
At such a young age, he had already mastered Conqueror's Haki Coating, which only the strongest in the world could grasp; he was truly a monster among monsters.
In other words, Lin Ning would at least become one of the strongest people in this world, and in the near future, he would influence the global situation.
That's why Garp attached so much importance to Lin Ning, hoping there might be a slim chance to recruit him into the Marine.
Lin Ning raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, but quickly shook his head:
"Sorry, old man. I don't want to be bound by the Marine. To be honest, I came out to cultivate and explore.
Then to see this world properly; I like a life of freedom."
Upon hearing this, Garp seemed to have expected it. He sighed, patted Lin Ning's shoulder, his gaze profound:
"Just as I thought! Those with Haoshoku are men with their own spiritual will and won't be easily changed by others.
However, I have another suggestion; listen to it."
Lin Ning stood quietly, not speaking, but his eyes already conveyed his intention to listen carefully.
"That kid Luffy is my grandson," Garp said with a hint of helplessness in his tone:
"You've seen his personality, right? To be honest, as his grandfather, I didn't teach him well and let him run off to become a pirate.
Actually, he was lured by that Red Hair fellow, which is why he went down this path.
However, Luffy is different from those pirates who burn, kill, and plunder; he's a good kid.
He just sees being a pirate as a kind of freedom, an adventure! He has his own dream, so how could I truly stop him?"
Lin Ning was silent for a moment, then nodded. He knew Luffy's personality all too well; that pure yet persistent spirit was indeed completely different from ordinary pirates.
Garp continued, "So, I hope you can help me take care of Luffy.
The Grand Line is full of dangers; although he has potential, he is still young after all.
I can apply to Sengoku to give you a Marine Colonel position, answerable only to me and Fleet Admiral Sengoku, with your identity kept completely secret.
Your Straw Hat Pirates can still adventure under the pirate flag.
Furthermore, the bounty pirates you defeat can even accumulate military merits.
Headquarters will also provide you with various resources!"
Lin Ning was somewhat shaken upon hearing this.
These conditions were simply perfect; not only were there no drawbacks, but they could also bring him a large amount of cultivation resources.
More importantly, the other party was Luffy's grandfather, a favor he couldn't easily refuse.
Lin Ning pondered for a moment, then finally nodded: "Alright, I accept. Thank you for your trust, old man."
Seeing this, Garp showed a satisfied smile.
He laughed heartily: "Hahaha! I knew you were a smart person! Don't worry, this is my Garp's promise, and Sengoku will absolutely not refuse!
Especially for a Genius like you, destined to become a powerhouse!"
Garp sighed inwardly, thinking that with more and more pirates on the Grand Line, the Marine's forces were stretched thin.
Recruiting a young powerhouse inclined towards justice would be very beneficial for this Grand Line, and Sengoku would be happy to do so.
Lin Ning seized the opportunity to ask, "Old man, can I ask a question? What was that black power on your fist just now?"
Lin Ning thought of the indestructible black power on Garp's fist earlier and was very interested.
Garp was startled upon hearing this, then laughed: "That's Armament Haki! Almost all powerhouses on the Grand Line use it.
But since you've agreed to join the Marine, I won't be stingy." He turned to his adjutant, Borsalino, and said:
"Go, bring the secret texts for Six Powers and Haki cultivation."
"And my one-way den den mushi!"
Lin Ning was delighted to hear that the power was the Armament Haki Hawkeye had mentioned before.
Lin Ning had been wondering where to learn Armament Haki, and now it had come to him effortlessly.
Not long after, Borsalino walked over with several books and a den den mushi, handing them to Lin Ning.
Lin Ning opened them and his eyes immediately lit up.
These secret texts contained detailed methods for cultivating Armament Haki and Observation Haki, and even descriptions of the Six Powers techniques.
"Thank you!" Lin Ning solemnly accepted them, filled with emotion, and inwardly sighed that joining the Marine indeed had many benefits.
Garp then smiled and asked, "You can contact me through this den den mushi (transponder snail from now on. Do you have any other needs? Just say it; as long as I can do it, I won't hesitate!"
Lin Ning thought for a moment and said, "It would be great if I had a handy polearm, preferably sturdy and heavy."
Garp stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then waved his hand: "Go to the warehouse and get that dusty halberd."
Led by Adjutant Borsalino, several Marines moved in unison, carrying a four-meter-long polearm out of the warehouse.
Lin Ning's gaze was instantly drawn to it; it was an entirely black halberd.
The shaft was carved with exquisite patterns, and the blades on both sides gleamed with cold light, as if they could tear through the air. The entire weapon exuded an ancient and heavy aura.
Garp looked at Lin Ning and smiled, "This halberd was seized by me from a Great Pirate when I was young.
It was forged from extraterrestrial meteorites and special craftsmanship, incredibly heavy. Most people can't even swing it, and it's been gathering dust in the storeroom, so I'll give it to you."
Lin Ning reached out and grabbed the halberd, his arm muscles tensing, and he actually felt a hint of strain.
This made him marvel at the weapon's weight, but the heavier it was, the more he liked it.
He swung it a few times; the blade tore through the air, emitting a whistling sound, and the mast on the warship shook.
"Good heavens! What a divine weapon!" Lin Ning couldn't help but exclaim, "It's just a bit too big!"
However, Lin Ning's height was still growing, and he would definitely fully master it in the future.
"Satisfied?" Garp asked with a smile.
"Extremely satisfied! Thank you, old man!" Lin Ning said excitedly.
"Hahahaha! Good! With this weapon, you'll have to do more righteous deeds for this old man in the future!" Garp laughed heartily and patted Lin Ning's shoulder.
