Chapter 55: Armament Haki
Smack!
Ace kicked off a tree trunk, launched himself out, and with a few leaps, landed next to Luffy.
"Ace!" Luffy, who had been hiding behind a tree, was overjoyed. "How did you get here?!"
"I'd say I sensed your distress signal from my heart...
Chapter 54: Garp's Little Scheme
In a flash.
Shane had already vaguely sensed that this punch was not aimed at his head, but at the space above his shoulder.
However, the muscular instincts forged through tempering, as well as his absolute trust in his own tough physique, mad...
Chapter 53: A Punch to the Face
That evening, the Isshin Dojo held a grand feast to welcome Shane and his group.
Nami and Nojiko, still thinking about the food they wanted, had run to the kitchen while Zeff was still prepping the ingredients to make their requests. Zeff had laughed ...
Chapter 52: "Captain"
Ten minutes later.
Zoro and Sanji's ears were pulled bright red, and each had a fresh handprint on their face. With tears in their eyes, they squatted at the courtyard gate, using glue to repair the nameplate.
"There are so many tiny pieces! How are we s...
Chapter 51: Black-Foot Zoro and Three-Sword Style Sanji
"Poor Buggy."
On the deck of the Orange Grove, Shane picked up his fishing rod, put down the newspaper he had just bought, and laughed until he was bent over.
It wasn't his fault for framing him.
With Arlong dead,...
Chapter 50: I Won't Change My Name or My Surname!
The top-floor office gradually fell silent.
Nezumi's body was tossed aside by Shane like a rag doll, landing sprawled on the desk, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, unable to rest in peace.
Perhaps he had never imagined...
Chapter 49: A Dark and Stormy Night for Murder
"I was so frustrated. But a few days later, I suddenly heard that the Arlong Pirates had been wiped out. And the heroes who rid the people of this evil are now standing right before our eyes!"
As Sophia spoke, her expression suddenly tu...
Chapter 48: I'm a Soft-hearted Person
"The Marines are confiscating the pirates' remains. Isn't that a matter of course?!"
Nezumi flicked the safety off his pistol and said sinisterly, "You brat, you've been uncooperative, sneaky, and have a terrible attitude from the start. Now I s...
Chapter 47: Captain Nezumi
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the warship slowly sailed into the pier.
A gangplank, a full three meters wide, was lowered. Two rows of Marines holding rifles lined the sides, their expressions solemn. A red carpet extended from the top of the gangp...
Chapter 46: An Unplanned Uninvited Guest
Under the warm, orange light, the family was having dinner together.
Shane buried his head in his food and ate fiercely. After resolving the weight on his heart, everything he ate tasted even more delicious. The plates in front of him piled h...
Chapter 45: The Haze Dissipates
"Don't joke around."
Genzo looked around, sweating, and said with a bitter smile, "These are all fish-men. What could I have done? Any one of them could have sent me flying with a single slap."
Speaking of which, when he was riding his bicycle ...
Chapter 44: Bite Me, Why'd You Stop Biting?!
Voom!
Before his palms could even connect, the fierce wind they generated was already enough to make Arlong's cheeks cave in. He was horrified. His rich combat experience made him react without thinking, ducking down in a panic.
It...
Chapter 43: Don't You Think It's Funny?
Thank you?
Hearing those two words, all the members of the Arlong Pirates froze for a moment. Then, they looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Hey! This kid really thinks we're praising him!"
"No wonder he's so naive, ch...
Chapter 42: You've Finally Come, Haven't You?
Two days later, in the early morning.
Genzo hummed a little tune, pushing his bicycle along the path outside the village. The weather was pleasant, perfect for a patrol.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew past, and his wide-brim...
Chapter 41: Arlong! Why Haven't You Come Yet!
Thud, thud.
Amidst the constant tremors of the ground, Shane arrived in front of a giant tree more than ten meters tall.
Glancing up at the treetop, he suddenly reached out with both hands, his ten fingers digging into the trunk. ...
Chapter 40: Five Months Later
The time spent in arduous training flew by like a shuttle. Unknowingly, five months had passed.
Cocoyasi Village had endured several cold snaps and a few heavy snowfalls, but it had finally passed through the harsh winter and arrived at the season of wa...
Chapter 39: Getting Used to Thunder Bagua in Advance
Unlocking the treasures of the human body, enhancing physical strength.
This was exactly what Shane wanted most right now. Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to his own body. He added it directly to the cart.
<...
Chapter 38: Items Refreshed, Time to Buy!
Shameful-and-disgraceful-sister-number-one and sneaky-rat-eyed-sister-number-two were ultimately sentenced to the cruel punishment of washing the dishes, mopping the floor, and doing the laundry after dinner.
Shane, on the other hand, went t...
Chapter 37: My Brother! The Champion!
An hour later, at home.
"Let me get this straight. I'm going to review the events of the month you were at sea, and you tell me if I've got anything wrong. First, you suddenly grew a dozen centimeters taller?"
"Yes. Puberty growth spurt. ...
Chapter 36: Plenty of Points, Back to the Village to Develop!
In the afternoon, a passenger ship set sail from the pier.
At the bow, Shane leaned against the railing, gazing at the gradually blurring capital of the Goa Kingdom. From this angle, the cityscape was indeed magnificent a...
Chapter 35: One-Punching Ace
"Eh? Big Bro Shane! What are you doing?!"
Luffy was startled and subconsciously reached for the hat. "You can borrow anything else as a prop, but this is very important to me, you can't..."
"Watch closely."
Shane chuckled and tossed the str...
Chapter 34: The Straw Hat is Mine
"What's the solution?"
Luffy, still tied to the stone pillar, shouted angrily. "Of course, it's to fight! What's the use of hiding in the mountains, Uncle?! Everyone should unite and fight those damn nobles, send them all flying!"
Sabo's inci...
Chapter 33: Manba
"Don't push it, you brat!"
Manba was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, grabbing Luffy by the collar.
"How dare you say you don't know us! How can you say that with a straight face? Do you have any idea how much food you've taken from us these past...
Chapter 32: The Naturally Evil Brat, Luffy!
The straw hat spun leisurely on his fingertip. Suddenly, Shane grunted, "Hm?" As if sensing something, he sat up straight and turned his head to look southwest.
In the treetops over there, some birds had been startled, flying away into the...
Chapter 31: Straw Hat, Straw Hat
Originally, Shane had planned to leave Shimotsuki Village right after breakfast and set off for the final stop on his wool-fleecing journey: the Goa Kingdom.
However, no one wanted him to leave, and they insisted on him staying for one more night.
Chapter 30: The Agreement to Board the Ship
About an hour later, breakfast was served.
A small place like Shimotsuki Village naturally didn't have a wide variety of ingredients. In the middle of cooking, Zeff had already sent Zoro to buy everything available at the market, which sti...
Chapter 29: Green Hair and Yellow Hair
The Shimotsuki family is truly full of talented people. He has this kind of skill too?
Shane was a little surprised. He bent down, preparing to tap the wooden leg to test its feel. As soon as he squatted, he came face-to-face with a certain blo...
Chapter 28: Future Plans to Go to Sea
On the wall of the courtyard under the thatched rain shelter, Shane had drawn a bunch of "E"s facing different directions from top to bottom.
"Which way is this one pointing?"
"Up."
"And this one?"
"...Left?"
"Close o...
Chapter 27: The Supreme Grade Ladder
As expected.
Zoro charged forward with a "Yaaah!", looking full of vigor. The next second, he was sent flying with a scream and landed flat on his face.
He rolled back up and glared at Kuina beside him. "Hey! Why didn't you attack!"
Chapter 26: Zoro's Desire to Challenge
"Father!"
Being called out by Koshiro like that, a vein popped on Kuina's forehead. "Why do you tell outsiders everything?"
"Oh?"
Koshiro said with a grin, "Are you suddenly feeling shy in front of your idol? But aren't you still ...
