Chapter 20 Breakthrough In Strength
evening.
All the residents of the town gathered around the fire, sang, danced and toasted in celebration.
Uta took full advantage of her talents and held a concert happily.
Luffy Zoro sat together, drank wine, ate meat, and talked freely.
Nami sat next to him, watching this harmonious and beautiful scene and couldn't help but feel emotional.
"It would be great if it could continue like this!"
"If you are with them, you will always be so happy, right?!"
"But...everyone in Cocosia Village..."
When she thought of Cocosia Village, Nami couldn't help but feel sad and buried her head in her legs.
At this time, the originally cheerful and lively celebration suddenly stopped, and Nami suddenly raised her head in confusion.
I saw all the Marines, led by a captain, walking over and interrupting the banquet.
The captain came directly to Luffy, saluted, and then said.
"You...are pirates, right?"
Luffy Kaidō.
"yes!"
The captain nodded upon hearing this, and then said sternly.
"We're grateful though that you saved our base and the townspeople here."
"But, since you are pirates, we have to...please leave here for the sake of Marine's reputation."
After the captain finished speaking, before Luffy and others said anything, the townspeople stood up angrily and started to accuse.
"Hey! Marine! What the hell are you talking about?"
"Are you kidding, or are you out of your mind?"
"They are the benefactors of the whole town!"
...
Nami was stunned when she saw all the townspeople speaking up for them as pirates.
Aren't pirates evil beings?
Why are these people speaking for pirates like them now?
Are there really beloved pirates?
Nami couldn't help but look at Luffy with mixed emotions.
At this time, Luffy suddenly stood up, and all the townspeople suddenly became quiet.
Then, Luffy picked up the straw hat next to him and put it on his head, and said to Uta and the others.
"Okay, we should go."
After hearing this, Uta Zoro Nami and others stood up and came to Luffy's side.
Seeing this, the townspeople wanted to persuade him to stay, but they saw Luffy smiling at them.
"Thank you everyone for your hospitality."
After saying that, Luffy led a few people towards the shore.
Although they are kind to this town, the pirate Marine has a different stance after all, and they are all full and full, so there is no need to stay.
"Your understanding is heaven-defying. Through personal experience, your courage is improved."
"Your courage is increased, and your Conqueror's Haki is strengthened."
"Your comprehensive strength has achieved a breakthrough."
Um?
finally......
Luffy looked at the information in his mind and felt secretly happy.
The reminder of strength breakthrough is a small function that he derived from his heaven-defying understanding based on his understanding of the pirate world's combat power in his previous life.
It just makes him realize more clearly what level his current combat power is.
His breakthrough this time was his successful promotion to the Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral level.
However, his Vice Admiral level is an average.
In other words, his current combat power has not really just entered the Vice Admiral threshold, but is already in the middle range of Vice Admiral combat power.
Of course, the exception Garp is not included in the calculation.
And one more important thing is...
This combat power is only calculated based on abilities related to the world of pirates. Luffy's Eight Inner Gates are not included in the calculation because there is no way to compare them.
Therefore, if Luffy does not open the Eight Inner Gates now, he is considered to be at the Vice Admiral level.
And if Eight Inner Gates is turned on, he can definitely compete with the Admiral alternate.
As for the Eight Inner Gates, Luffy is now able to open the Seventh Gate.
The threshold for the Eighth Gate is still too high. It not only requires strong physical fitness, but also requires huge energy.
For example, in the world of Hokage, this energy is Chakra.
And here, that energy is Haki.
Although Luffy has been practicing, his weapon color and knowledge color have been steadily improving.
But the effect is definitely not as fast as fighting with others.
As for Conqueror's Haki, I have been staying in the small place of Windmill Village and encountered almost no events that can improve Conqueror's Haki.
Even though he could still improve by sparring with Ace, Ace's Conqueror's only awakened when he was 10 years old, and he was not even a little weaker than him, so naturally the improvement effect would not be that great.
So his current Conqueror's is still a little far behind the top of the class like Garp Shanks.
But now it's enough to get to the Seventh Gate.
He doesn't have the ability to awaken the fruit yet, so he doesn't dare to use it even if he opens the Eighth Gate.
So it doesn't affect anything.
After sorting out his current strength and information, Luffy suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him.
"Wait, this guy?!"
"You guys are in the same group, right?"
It was the captain from before who spoke.
At this time, he was pointing at Kebi who was standing there blankly.
Luffy knew everything when he saw it, heard it, and spoke without looking back.
"We don't know that guy."
After saying that, he ignored the looks of the Marines and continued walking towards the coast.
When the captain saw this, he didn't say anything even if he was thinking about it. Instead, he suddenly stood at attention and loudly announced an order.
"Everyone... salutes!"
After giving the order, hundreds of Marines immediately saluted Luffy and his gang to say goodbye, and Kirby was among them.
Seeing this "absurd" scene, Nami struggled even more inside.
Even Marine recognized this group of pirates, so would she still say that Luffy and the others were scum like the other pirates?
