128: Chapter 128 Training and News of FujitoraThe first thing Luffy did upon arriving at the training room was to exchange for the ability to communicate with animals from the system.He wasn't Chopper, and there were some things he didn't want his crew to know, especially regarding the upcoming Marineford War.Luffy hadn't decided whether or not to bring his crew along.
"Aww (Master, what are you thinking about?)"
"It's alright.By the way, would you like to become my partners?That way, you'll become stronger!"
"Awooo (We're willing, we're willing)," the Kung Fu Manatee suddenly became excited and surrounded Luffy, howling and barking wildly.
"Wait, I haven't finished yet.You're not joining my pirate crew, but another organization I've formed.That place is more suitable for you."
"Aww (Another organization?)"
"Yes, if you are willing, I will teach you a powerful fist technique.However, this technique will not be given to you for nothing.Soon, I will join a great war, and at that time, I will need your strength.If you are unwilling, I will not force you."
Upon hearing this, the group of manatees gathered together to discuss the matter.Soon after, a manatee that seemed to be the leader hopped over to Luffy, bowed respectfully, and then.
"Awooooo (We're willing, but you really have to promise us we'll become stronger than we are now)"
"That's a must," Luffy grinned, revealing his signature eight teeth.
Suddenly remembering something, Luffy immediately asked the system, "By the way, Ling'er, can they learn the Arhat Fist?"
"Why not?Besides, these manatees are quite talented.At least they won't be a hindrance during the Marineford War!"
"That's fine then," Luffy said, waving his hand.The manatee herd was enveloped in a beam of light (at that moment, the manatees felt as if they had become light, cough cough, I digress).All the manatees closed their beady eyes and began to digest what Luffy had given them.With a thought, Xu Que appeared in the cultivation space.But looking at him now, Luffy suddenly had the idea of killing him and creating a new clone.
"Fuck your mother, my true form!I'm about to reach the crucial moment!" Xu Que was completely naked, with a few lipstick marks on his face.Luffy suppressed his killing intent and asked with a dark face, "Wait, is the Exploding Sky Gang ready yet?And you're just here fooling around?"
"No," Xu Que said matter-of-factly.
"Behold my Iron Fist (╬▔皿▔)╯!" Xu Que fell to the ground with a thud.After delivering the punch, Luffy still seemed unsatisfied and picked up Xu Que, unleashing another barrage of wild punches until Xu Que had gained a lot of weight.Xu Que lay on the ground, barely alive, staring at Luffy with his last stubborn gaze.But when he saw Luffy raise his fist, he immediately pretended to be dead.
"Stop pretending.I know you've mastered a new wood element.This injury will heal quickly.Get up, I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, Xu Que could only obediently get up and move his fingers.His whole body was wrapped in vines, and in a short while, Xu Que returned to his original appearance.He asked in an annoyed tone, "What is it?"
Luffy pointed at the group of manatees and said, "These are the new kung fu manatees who have joined the Skybreaker Gang.You should train them here for the next few days.If you can, teach them Haki." Xu Que rolled his eyes helplessly.If he could beat the original body, he would have already shown it to the original body why the flowers were so red.
"Also, do you have any news about Fujitora?"
"I've heard that he's on a small island in the Grand Line.I'm planning to go there to look for him in a few days."
After reminding Xu Que to train the manatee properly once again, Luffy left the training room under Xu Que's expectant gaze.However, Luffy's last words instantly plunged Xu Que into despair.
"I've sealed off this place, so don't even think about leaving."
Xu Que: "No (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"
