Chapter 21 Colonel Rat
Sunlight filtered through the mist, casting its rays on the white buildings of Marine Base 16.
The base's main gate stood open, its heavy iron doors slid to either side.
However, the usual clamor of drills and the footsteps of passing soldiers had completely vanished, replaced by an unusual sense of oppressive silence in the air.
Marine Base 16 had already lost its former vitality.
A profound stillness enveloped the base, as if time had been abruptly paused.
The soldiers who had just been drilling on the parade ground, the patrolling sentries, the clerks sipping their morning tea—
All now lay sprawled on the ground.
Their weapons were scattered, blades reflecting a dazzling light.
Around them, Marine flags hung limply, their Marine insignia swaying in the gentle breeze.
The atmosphere in the command center was extremely heavy.
Colonel Nezumi's back was hunched, his fingers trembling slightly as he scrolled through the surveillance footage.
His triangular eyes were filled with fear, and he constantly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
The oppressive atmosphere in the command center was suffocating.
His somewhat sharp face was contorted by fear, and his nose, like a rat's, was slightly upturned.
His unique Marine cap was adorned with two round rat ears.
Beneath the brim, his eyes were wide with terror, pupils dilated in shock.
"That's... Conqueror's Haki!" Colonel Nezumi whispered.
It sounded like he was talking to himself, but more like he was trying to suppress his inner fear with those words.
Beside him stood several officers, each looking as pale and terrified as he was.
"Colonel, are you sure?" a young officer asked tremblingly, his voice hoarse, as if squeezed from deep within his throat.
Colonel Nezumi took a deep breath, trying to stand up straight.
He stared at the screen, which showed Lin Ning and his group slowly walking towards the main building.
Lin Ning walked at the forefront, hands in his pockets, his steps steady, as if taking a leisurely stroll.
Behind him followed Luffy and Zoro, both exuding a powerful Aura, while Nami casually looked around.
Because of the Conqueror's Haki, Colonel Nezumi had developed a severe psychological suggestion regarding the group.
These people, no matter how Colonel Nezumi looked at them, did not seem like ordinary pirates, much less the nobodies of the East Blue.
"Do you know what Haoshoku is?" Colonel Nezumi suddenly asked, a hint of oppression in his tone.
He glanced at the officers around him, "It's an ability that might only be born in one out of tens of millions of people!
This isn't ordinary power, but a king's Aura, a power that can directly intimidate the Soul!
In front of this Aura, the weak can't even stand, and even the thought of resistance will be stifled."
"But..." another officer swallowed, "That kind of thing... it can't just..."
"Shut up!" Colonel Nezumi glared at him, "Do you think I'm talking nonsense?
I saw it once at headquarters; a high-ranking official from headquarters knocked out thousands of new recruits in a matter of seconds!
And now, this power has appeared before us. What do you suggest we do?"
The door was violently pushed open, crashing against the wall with a thunderous bang.
Lin Ning and his group walked into the command room, their footsteps echoing in the empty space, each step like a drumbeat on everyone's hearts.
Colonel Nezumi felt his breathing quicken, his legs felt like lead, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up and greet them.
His fingers gripped the edge of the command table, his knuckles white from the effort.
"You are... are..." Colonel Nezumi tried to speak, but his throat felt blocked, only managing to emit broken sounds.
His gaze towards Lin Ning was filled with terror.
Lin Ning merely glanced at him, his eyes showing disdain.
Zoro casually tossed the bundle on his shoulder onto the table; a few bloody heads were vaguely visible inside, and the smell of blood instantly filled the room.
"We're here to collect bounties," Lin Ning's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable force.
Colonel Nezumi froze for a moment, then forced a stiff smile: "This... I'm afraid it might be a bit difficult..."
"Difficult?" Lin Ning raised an eyebrow, "Are you saying these heads aren't worth anything?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I mean," Colonel Nezumi quickly waved his hands, cold sweat trickling down his cheeks.
He licked his chapped lips, trying to explain:
"According to Marine regulations, bounties can only be paid to bounty hunters or individuals with legal identities, and... and you are pirates..."
"What about pirates?" Luffy walked forward with a grin, hands behind his head, "We defeated these bad guys, shouldn't we get paid?"
"This..." Colonel Nezumi looked at Lin Ning, trying to find a hint of compromise on his face, but he was disappointed.
Lin Ning still stared at him with that indifferent gaze, as if looking at an ant that could be crushed at any moment.
Colonel Nezumi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
He knew that if he couldn't rationally persuade these people, his fate would only be more tragic.
"Bounty posters are issued by the World Government to encourage ordinary people and bounty hunters to capture pirates.
The payment of bounties has strict regulations; recipients must have a legal identity, otherwise we have no right to disburse these funds."
Colonel Nezumi tried to make his voice sound calm.
"Moreover, this bounty is paid from the government's treasury; if it's paid to pirates, it will cause big trouble..."
"So you mean, we did all this for nothing?" Zoro asked coldly, his hand already on his sword hilt.
"No, no, no, I don't mean that!" Colonel Nezumi waved his hands repeatedly, his eyes filled with intense fear.
"We can... we can compensate you in another way, for example... for example, provide some supplies, or other forms of assistance."
"For example?" Lin Ning tilted his head slightly, a hint of amusement in his tone.
"For example... intelligence," Colonel Nezumi said, steeling himself:
"We can provide you with information about the movements of other pirate crews, or... or defense information from other Marine Bases..."
The atmosphere in the command room grew even more oppressive; everyone held their breath, awaiting Lin Ning's decision.
Lin Ning just stood there quietly, seemingly deep in thought.
His gaze swept over everyone in the command room, finally resting on Colonel Nezumi's face.
"You're right," Lin Ning suddenly spoke, "Bounties certainly can't be given to pirates, but... who said we had to take bounties?"
Colonel Nezumi was stunned: "Then... then you are..."
"What I want is all the profits you gained from colluding with pirates and amassing wealth through your position as a Marine Colonel!"
Lin Ning smiled faintly, but his smile carried a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.

Chapter 22: The Three Hundred Belly
The air in the command room seemed to solidify, and Colonel Nezumi slumped in his chair, beads of sweat dripping down his face.
His hands were tightly clenched into fists, but he dared not meet the eyes of the man in front of him.
Lin Ning stood there, his Aura sharp and oppressive, making every officer present gasp for breath.
No one in the entire command room dared to make a sound.
"Hand over all the profits you gained from colluding with pirates and amassing wealth!" Lin Ning's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
Colonel Nezumi's lips trembled; he wanted to resist, but his body's instincts were already beyond his control.
He slowly pulled out a key, his bony hands trembling slightly in the air.
The key was golden and heavy, with a rat pattern carved on its handle.
"Do you think you can hide it?" Lin Ning slightly raised his head, his gaze like a knife. "Is life more important, or money?"
Colonel Nezumi's Adam's apple bobbed, as if he wanted to speak, but facing Lin Ning's substantial Aura, he couldn't say anything.
Finally, he sighed dejectedly, got up, walked to the wall at the back of the command room, inserted the key, and pressed an inconspicuous button.
"Click."
The wall slowly opened, revealing a secret door.
Behind the door was a glittering secret room, piled with boxes of all sizes, their lids half-open, revealing Berries and gold.
Golden light spilled from the boxes, illuminating the entire secret room with a dazzling glow.
Nami's eyes immediately lit up, like two brilliant stars.
"My goodness..." Nami almost screamed. She rushed to the entrance of the secret room in two steps, staring at the wealth. "This is at least 300 million Berries!"
"Not bad." Lin Ning sneered. "Nezumi, you have quite a lot of money."
Colonel Nezumi lowered his head, his fingers intertwined.
He wanted to explain, but Lin Ning didn't give him a chance.
"All this money, you've squeezed it from the people and pirates over the years, haven't you?"
Colonel Nezumi had nothing to say; his face was as pale as paper, and his hands and feet were cold.
He knew he had reached the end of the line.
"Pen and paper, bring them." Lin Ning turned to look at an officer nearby, his tone calm but filled with undeniable authority.
The officer instinctively nodded, trembling as he took a pen, ink, and paper from the table and placed them in front of Colonel Nezumi.
"Write down your crimes, from the first day until now, not missing a single one."
Lin Ning looked down at him. "Don't think about playing tricks, otherwise, I won't even give you a chance to write."
Colonel Nezumi trembled all over upon hearing this and shakily picked up the pen.
His hand moved stiffly on the paper, the handwriting outlined by the pen tip messy and scrawled.
At first, he only wrote some irrelevant content.
Lin Ning didn't speak; he just extended a finger and flicked it lightly, and an invisible wave of Qi swept past.
Colonel Nezumi's arm shook, and the pen in his hand dropped onto the table.
In an instant, his cold sweat gushed out again.
"Write the truth." Lin Ning's voice was deep and cold. "Don't waste my patience."
Colonel Nezumi nodded stiffly, picked up the pen again, and this time, he dared not conceal anything.
He wrote down the details of his collusion with the Arlong Pirates and how he amassed wealth.
How he exploited the public in the name of the Marine, and how he secretly condoned pirates.
He even listed his transaction records with several other pirates.
With each line he wrote, his heart sank a little more.
He knew that these words would become evidence that he would never be able to recover from.
"Enough." Lin Ning said coldly. "Zoro, do it."
Zoro stood up, holding wado ichimonji in his hand, its blade glinting with a chilling cold light.
The moment Colonel Nezumi saw the blade, his face turned ashen, and he shook his head frantically, muttering:
"No... don't kill me... I can work for you... I..."
Before he finished speaking, the blade flashed, and Colonel Nezumi's head flew off, blood gushing out and staining the command room floor.
The remaining officers all trembled, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Lin Ning walked to the table, picked up Colonel Nezumi's confession of guilt, and coldly scanned everyone.
"I'm leaving these here." Lin Ning's voice was like the cold wind of winter.
"Send his confession to Marine Headquarters. And these pirate heads are your compensation.
Be honest from now on. If you dare to collude with pirates again, this will be your fate."
He motioned for everyone to pack the boxes full of Berries one by one and casually threw them in front of Zoro and Sanji.
"Move them."
Lin Ning and his group left with the wealth, leaving behind a group of ashen-faced officers in the command room.
They looked at each other, no one daring to speak, only cold sweat running down their cheeks.
Inside the command room, all the officers were in a state of chaos, the smell of blood still lingering in the air.
Colonel Nezumi's head rolled on the floor, and the confession of guilt lay open on the table.
Those lines of crooked handwriting were like a cold verdict, making everyone's hearts pound in their throats.
"Contact Headquarters!" An officer finally mustered the courage to shout, his voice trembling but full of urgency.
In a corner of the command room, the Marine in charge of communications nervously picked up a den den mushi.
The den den mushi's eyes slowly opened, with a sleepy weariness, but as the other party's voice connected, the atmosphere immediately became tense.
"This is Marine Base 16 in the East Blue, requesting an urgent report—" The officer's voice trembled uncontrollably. "A major incident has occurred. Please immediately transfer me to a superior commander."
The den den mushi's expression immediately changed, becoming serious and stern.
The other party's voice was deep and cold: "This is Headquarters, East Blue Marine Base 16, report the details of the incident."
The officer took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but his speech was still rapid, as if he was afraid of being swallowed by the fear of the next second:
"Our base... was attacked by a powerful group of pirates! Their pirate flag is a skull wearing a straw hat.
The leader is a man of unknown identity, possessing Conqueror's Haki!
Yes, that's right, it's Conqueror's Haki! He silently knocked out all the soldiers in the entire base! We were completely helpless!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end, and the den den mushi's face became even more serious.
The officer swallowed and continued:
"This group broke into the command room... forcefully demanded Colonel Nezumi hand over the wealth in the secret room... the Colonel... has been killed by them."
"They left behind the Colonel's confession of colluding with pirates and the heads of East Blue great pirates like Arlong and Krieg..."
The voice on the other end of the den den mushi was chilling: "Conqueror's Haki... Very good, this information is very important.
The confession and those pirate heads must be sent to Headquarters immediately.
Furthermore, any information regarding this pirate group in the East Blue, report it immediately after collection."
The officer nodded repeatedly: "Yes! We will arrange it immediately!"
The other party added coldly: "The mistakes of East Blue Marine Base 16 cannot be ignored.
Nezumi's collusion crimes will be handled by Headquarters, but you must also provide a detailed report on the base's defense dereliction of duty.
Remember, there must be no concealment."
"Understood! We will cooperate fully!" The officer quickly agreed, and after hanging up the den den mushi, he slumped into his chair.
The command room was silent, and all the officers' faces were filled with exhaustion and terror.
They knew that this phone call was just the beginning.
Especially the phrase "Conqueror's Haki," which was bound to cause a huge stir at Marine Headquarters.
And they, in the eye of the storm, could only await Headquarters' judgment.

#23Response from Naval Headquarters
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Chapter 23: Reaction from Naval Headquarters
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
The morning sun streamed through the tall glass windows, filling the spacious yet slightly oppressive office of the East Blue Affairs Department.
The walls were covered with maps, meticulously marking every sea area of the East Blue.
Files piled up like small mountains on the desk, detailing the crimes of countless pirates in the East Blue.
However, at this moment, the commander behind the desk had no mind for these trivial matters; his gaze was fixed on a newly arrived report.
"Marine Base 16 Urgent Report."
The wax seal of the envelope had been torn open, and the contents were clearly more troublesome than he had anticipated.
He clutched the few pages tightly, his hands trembling slightly.
The report detailed everything that had happened at Marine Base 16:
Colonel Nezumi's crimes, the severed head, and the terrifying strength of the unknown pirate group.
"Conqueror's Haki… two Conqueror's Haki?" he muttered in a low voice, his brows furrowing deeper.
The report not only mentioned Lin Ning's Conqueror's Haki displayed at Marine Base 16,
but also highlighted an even more astonishing name—Monkey D. Luffy, the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
According to the intelligence description, Luffy had also unleashed Conqueror's Haki at the sea restaurant Baratie in the East Blue.
The more crucial part was that this Luffy was actually the grandson of Marine Hero Garp.
"This is no longer a problem I can handle," the commander murmured, raising a hand to rub his temples.
His gaze swept over the other files on the desk: the Arlong Pirates, the Krieg Pirates.
These names, once feared in the East Blue, seemed insignificant in the face of this intelligence.
He quickly organized the intelligence, closed the file, and instructed his adjutant beside him:
"Send this intelligence to Fleet Admiral Sengoku; let him worry about this!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's Office
The highest command building in Marineford, on the top floor, was Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office.
This office was spacious enough to hold a meeting of a hundred people, with world maps and bounty posters hanging on the walls.
A huge wooden desk stood in the center, with neatly stacked files on its surface.
Behind it was a tall chair, on which sat Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku was an extraordinary Marine commander, with an explosive black afro.
He wore frog-eye glasses, and his long beard was braided.
His broad shoulders and tall stature revealed his power as a warrior.
Next to Sengoku's desk stood a large glass case, containing his pet goat, which was currently chewing on the corner of some document.
Sengoku glanced at the goat, sighed, and returned his gaze to the document in his hand.
Just then, a knock sounded.
"Come in."
The door opened, and the adjutant from the East Blue Affairs Department entered, holding the intelligence file.
His expression was so serious it was almost rigid, and his palms were sweating as he placed the file before Sengoku.
"Your Excellency Fleet Admiral, this is an urgent report from the East Blue; please review it."
Sengoku took the file and began to read. His expression, initially calm, gradually turned solemn.
When he saw the four large characters for "Conqueror's Haki," his brows furrowed sharply, and his finger paused on the paper.
"Two Conqueror's Haki…?" His voice was low and calm.
Sengoku looked at the intelligence file on the desk, his gaze as deep as the sea.
On the sofa beside the desk, a figure was sitting with his legs crossed, leisurely biting into a donut—it was marine hero Monkey D. Garp.
"You still have the nerve to sit here eating donuts?" Sengoku slammed his hand on the desk, looking up to glare at Garp.
Garp looked up, frosting still on the corner of his mouth, and responded indistinctly: "What's wrong? It's not my fault."
Sengoku's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he angrily threw the file onto the desk: "Not your fault? Look at this!"
He pointed to the contents of the file, his voice filled with disbelief and anger.
"Your grandson, Monkey D. Luffy, is actually a Genius with Conqueror's Haki!
Such a remarkably talented fellow, instead of inheriting your legacy and serving the Marine, he runs off to become a pirate! How exactly did you raise him?"
Garp burst into laughter upon hearing this, without a hint of guilt.
He wiped his mouth and leaned over to look at the intelligence in Sengoku's hand: "Conqueror's Haki, huh? As expected of my grandson!"
A vein throbbed in Sengoku's forehead, and he gritted his teeth, roaring: "How can you still be proud!
A monster with Conqueror's Haki, the grandson of a marine hero, choosing to become a pirate—do you know what this means for the Marine's reputation?
Moreover, he even attacked a Marine Base in the East Blue!"
Garp continued to nonchalantly bite into a donut, saying indifferently: "Kids, you gotta let them develop freely.
I find it quite interesting, and besides Luffy, his companion Lin Ning also has Conqueror's Haki!
I really want to meet this little guy and see what kind of person he is."
Sengoku slammed his fist on the desk in anger: "You still have the nerve to say that! Two pirates with Conqueror's Haki appearing in the East Blue—this is a prelude to chaos in the East Blue, which has been peaceful for many years!
If we let it go unchecked, who will clean up this mess next?!"
Garp, however, seemed not to hear Sengoku's roar, and continued to study the intelligence on his own.
As he flipped through it, he exclaimed in wonder: "This kid Lin Ning, he's quite something.
Conqueror's Haki isn't something just anyone can have; this is much stronger than small fries like Arlong."
Sengoku rubbed his temples in frustration: "How do I feel like you're not taking this seriously at all?"
Garp smiled indifferently: "Leave the East Blue matter to me. I'll go personally and see what these brats are really up to."
Sengoku looked up at Garp, his anger finally mixed with a hint of helplessness: "You're going personally?"
Garp thumped his chest, laughing heartily: "Don't worry! Luffy is my grandson; I haven't disciplined him in a long time. My fists have forgotten what it feels like to educate him."
Sengoku took a deep breath, raised his hand, and pointed at Garp's nose: "Alright, then I'll give you a vacation to the East Blue!
But you must remember, educate your grandson well, and don't let him cause trouble for the Marine!"
Garp ignored Sengoku's warning, just stood up laughing: "Alright, alright, I'm leaving now, Luffy, await Grandpa's loving education!"
After Garp left, Sengoku leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples, thoroughly exasperated by the disrespectful Garp.
He looked down at the intelligence on the desk and sighed:
"Two monsters with Conqueror's Haki, and one of them is Garp's own grandson. The storms in the East Blue are likely to come one after another."
Outside, the sun was bright, but Sengoku's mood was like the sea under dark clouds, deep and uneasy.
He knew that this storm had only just begun, and this sea was becoming increasingly unstable.
And the names of Luffy and Lin Ning of the Straw Hat Pirates would eventually become an existence that the World Government and the Marine could not ignore.

#24Depart for Loguetown
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Chapter 24 Departure from Loguetown
A gentle breeze brushed their faces, waves lightly lapped against the going merry's hull, and the cries of seabirds intertwined with the sound of the waves, forming a melodious symphony.
The going merry sailed against the refreshing sea breeze, breaking through the waves, cruising on the calm waters of the East Blue.
On the deck, Lin Ning and the others gathered around several bulging cloth bags, their eyes burning with anticipation.
Those bags were filled with Colonel Nezumi's hidden wealth; the gleam of gold spilled onto the deck through the gaps, so dazzling that it was hard to look away.
Nami squatted to the side, clutching a handful of gold coins, her eyes almost turning into Berries symbols:
"Wow! So much money! That Colonel Nezumi really is an insatiably greedy fellow!"
Then she frowned, her voice filled with suppressed anger:
"This money was clearly extorted from the common people! Arlong is so arrogant, yet Marine Base 16 does absolutely nothing.
All these years, they've been insatiably plundering wealth, relying on such dirty tactics of colluding with pirates!"
Lin Ning sat on the ship's railing, his tone calm, but his gaze sharp:
"Such scum within the Marine, in order to protect their 'source of income,' tacitly allowed Arlong to exploit the villages.
Ultimately, he's just a dog in a Marine uniform."
Zoro snorted, propping his foot on the ship's railing, his eyes half-closed: "Such a person isn't even worthy of touching a sword. Killing him would only dirty my blade."
"So he's dead," Lin Ning said indifferently, his eyes fixed on the horizon ahead. "Such a person, alive, would only harm more people."
The atmosphere on the ship gradually relaxed, but everyone still harbored contempt for Colonel Nezumi's greed and corruption.
"Nezumi's death was his own doing, but there are definitely more than just one such worm in the Marine."
Lin Ning heard her whisper but said nothing. He looked up at the clouds in the sky, pondering inwardly:
"Hmm... perhaps, this is precisely part of our journey, to change some people, to do some things."
Sanji and Usopp placed the 300 million Berries of wealth into the ship's cabin, and everyone stopped discussing Colonel Nezumi.
On the deck, the group sat together, a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere filling the entire space.
Lin Ning leaned against the ship's rail, gazing at the endless horizon, gently swaying his body, a look of leisurely contentment on his face.
Nami sat cross-legged on the deck, a sea chart spread open in her hands, her expression focused, her slender fingers tracing lines on the map, murmuring to herself.
Occasionally she would frown in thought, and then sometimes nod, as if she had already made up her mind.
Lin Ning leaned by the ship's side, arms crossed, watching Nami busy herself, a faint smile on his lips.
He liked this feeling of peaceful times, but he also knew that this was only a temporary calm.
Nami was intently spreading out the sea chart, her brow slightly furrowed, her fingers tracing routes, occasionally marking places with a pencil.
"Nami, where to next?" Lin Ning asked.
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp immediately gathered around upon hearing this, offering their opinions volubly.
A rare seriousness showed in her brows.
"To enter the Grand Line, we must pass through 'Reverse Mountain,'" she said without looking up.
"Reverse Mountain?" Zoro leaned lazily against the railing, holding a sake flask in one hand, a puzzled expression on his face.
"Do we have to go that way? Can't we just charge in directly from the sea?"
"Idiot! Do you think the ocean is your backyard?" Nami glared at him impatiently, then explained:
"Reverse Mountain is the only entrance to the Grand Line. There are special currents there; it's not something you can just pass through however you like."
"I say, let's just charge straight through! It doesn't matter where we go anyway," Luffy said excitedly, waving his fists.
"Is this navigation? This is just blindly stumbling around!" Nami rolled her eyes.
"The Grand Line, isn't it just a route? Can't we just go straight through?" Zoro said indifferently, holding his sword. "We can go through the sea, right? Why do we have to take a detour?"
The idea Zoro proposed made Nami hold her forehead.
"What do you guys know!" Sanji lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled a smoke ring:
"The Grand Line has an entrance; you must pass through Reverse Mountain.
The old man used to tell me that this place is very peculiar, and ships can only enter through there."
"Why?" Usopp's eyes widened, full of curiosity.
Sanji sighed, "I only know that much, anyway it's very dangerous, so don't ask, okay?"
"No!" Usopp shook his head, staring intently at Sanji, determined to get an answer.
"Usopp, aren't you annoying!" Sanji couldn't help but yell, "I told you I don't know!"
Usopp pouted, clearly dissatisfied with the answer: "Tsk, truly unreliable..."
"Alright, stop arguing, both of you." Nami put down the sea chart in her hand, rubbed her temples, feeling that this group of people was simply a headache-inducing collective.
"Hahahahaha!" Luffy suddenly burst into laughter, clapping his hands on his knees:
"Doesn't that make it even more interesting? Dangerous places are fun! If we charge straight through, it'll definitely be super cool!"
Nami was so angry she almost broke her pencil: "Luffy! Do you understand what 'sailing' means?
The Grand Line isn't what you imagine! If you charge straight through, are you trying to die faster?"
"Hehe, don't be mad!" Luffy scratched the back of his head, still looking carefree.
"But now that you mention it, the more dangerous it is, the more I want to see it."
Nami helplessly held her forehead, letting out a long sigh: "Talking to someone like you could drive a person insane."
Nami closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and told herself not to argue with an idiot; calm down, calm down.
Lin Ning watched this interesting scene, a smile playing on his lips:
"You're right, Nami. Since Luffy wants to go, we need to prepare in advance, especially supplies—meat is key."
Lin Ning planned to supervise everyone in more intensive training during the sailing time before entering the Grand Line, and high-energy food was essential.
"Meat! Meat!" Luffy's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped up.
Nami glanced at him, too lazy to respond, and continued studying the map.
"Are there any suitable supply islands near the Grand Line entrance?" Lin Ning leaned over and asked.
Nami's finger glided across the sea chart, finally landing on a spot. "The closest island is Loguetown, near the entrance to the Grand Line."
"Loguetown?" Luffy tilted his head, looking bewildered. "What kind of place is that? Is it a place that produces meat?"
"Do you have anything else in your brain besides eating?!" Nami was both exasperated and helpless.
"Loguetown?" Lin Ning stroked his chin, also looking puzzled.
Zoro, who had been leaning against the ship's railing, eyes closed in rest, suddenly opened his eyes, a slight smirk on his lips:
"Loguetown, ah, the Town of Beginnings and Endings, I remember it being called that."
"Oh?" Nami looked at Zoro, a little surprised, "You actually know that."
"I heard someone say before that Loguetown is where Pirate King Roger was born and executed," Zoro said calmly, as if stating something insignificant.
"Gol D. Roger..." Luffy murmured, his eyes sparkling with excitement:
"So, that's where the man who became the 'Pirate King' was born and died?"
Nami nodded: "Yes. Loguetown not only has Roger's Execution Platform but also many relics related to him; it's a place full of legends."
"Let's go! We must go!" Luffy raised his fist, jumping up in excitement:
"I want to see the place where the man who obtained the One Piece, the man who obtained everything in this world, was born and died!"
Nami looked at Luffy's reaction and sighed helplessly, "You, you're always so excitable."
"Then let's go," Lin Ning smiled. "Since we need supplies, this place is a good choice."

#25Teaching Sanji the Body Training Method
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Chapter 25: Teaching Sanji the Body-Building Method
At four in the morning, the sea was enveloped in a thin mist, and the stars twinkled faintly in the night sky.
Waves gently lapped against the hull of the going merry, making a rustling sound.
A sea breeze blew through, carrying a hint of dampness, sweeping over the scattered water stains on the deck, and a touch of coolness permeated the air.
"Everyone up, begin today's training!" Lin Ning stood at the bow, his voice not loud, but imbued with an undeniable firmness.
He wore a light training suit, his eyes bright, his back to the others, like a straight lighthouse.
"Training for what..." Luffy walked out of the cabin, letting out a long yawn that almost dislocated his jaw.
He rubbed his eyes with his hand, his eyelids still drooping. "It's sleeping time now, Lin Ning!"
Zoro was already standing on the deck, wearing a short-sleeved vest, his arm muscles clearly defined, looking like a gleaming blade.
He stood with his arms crossed, his eyes full of anticipation:
"Hmph, Luffy, can't you be a little more aware? Exercising at this time every day, my body has long gotten used to it, but you, you just want to sleep all day."
"Zoro, do you want to fight again?" Luffy immediately perked up, straightened his body, stared at Zoro, and his fists cracked as he clenched them.
"Stop arguing!" Lin Ning's voice interrupted their quarrel. "Today is Sanji's focused training time. You two just need to practice your Body Tempering Technique well."
Nami stumbled out of the cabin, her hair disheveled, her face filled with reluctance.
She yawned, one hand still rubbing her temples.
"Lin Ning... why do you insist on waking us up at four in the morning? This is almost more tiring than when I used to swindle money..."
Usopp also slowly walked out of the cabin, his face showing endless exhaustion. "Lin Ning, if this continues, we'll be exhausted to death sooner or later."
Lin Ning turned his head and glanced at the two:
"Nami, Usopp, your physical fitness is far too poor; you haven't even reached the minimum standard for the Body Tempering Technique. Hurry up and intensify your practice!"
Nami's face immediately changed when she heard this. "This is simply torture in disguise!"
However, she succumbed to Lin Ning's stern gaze, repeatedly stating that she would work hard.
Usopp grumbled with a wronged expression, "I'm just a sniper; physical fitness and such, it doesn't need to be too strong, right..."
"It does." Lin Ning interrupted Usopp mercilessly. "The Body Tempering Technique can give you the chance to become the strongest sniper in the world!"
Compared to the others, Sanji's mental state was actually the best.
He had his hands in his pockets, a lit cigarette dangling from his mouth, his chin slightly raised, looking at Lin Ning with an expectant expression.
Because Lin Ning had said that today he would customize a Body Tempering Technique for him, just like the one Luffy and Zoro practiced, a Body Tempering Technique suitable for him.
Sanji had previously seen Lin Ning, Luffy, and Zoro practicing the Body Tempering Technique combined with special breathing methods.
Their physical strength and power were advancing by leaps and bounds, and he had long been incredibly envious, constantly pleading with Lin Ning to customize one for him as well.
After all, who doesn't want to become stronger? Moreover, under the effect of the Body Tempering Technique, Lin Ning and the other two had experienced explosive growth in height and physique.
Like a secondary growth spurt, they all soared to about two meters, which made his own height of 1.77 meters seem very short.
Nami and Usopp's eyes, however, were filled with horror, because they knew that practicing this Body Tempering Technique was extremely painful.
Even though they spent a lot of time exercising every day, they had not yet reached the threshold of practicing the Body Tempering Technique.
And Nami was not only worried about the physical pain but also felt a bit shy about the intimate contact during Lin Ning's bone examination.
"Lin Ning, is it my turn to be taught today? You promised me."
Lin Ning smiled slightly, "Yes, I'll arrange it for you right now!"
When Sanji heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and his movements quickened a few steps as he walked in front of Lin Ning.
He asked impatiently, "Then let's start quickly, I've been waiting for ages!"
"Sanji, don't get too smug! You'll know what it means to wish you were dead in a bit!" Nami said coldly, her tone full of schadenfreude.
Usopp couldn't help but shiver. "It will hurt, really, really hurt..."
"Less talk, come over here!" Lin Ning didn't bother with these trivialities and waved to Sanji.
Sanji immediately stood in the center of the deck, straightened his body, looking like he was saying, "Do whatever you want with me."
Just as he was about to speak, Lin Ning suddenly said, "I need to examine your bones first to determine your skeletal structure and muscles."
"Examine my bones?" Sanji was stunned for a moment, before he could react, Lin Ning had already walked over and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Don't move." Lin Ning's tone was calm, but his movements were swift.
His hand slid down Sanji's shoulder, pressing onto his arm, carefully feeling the shape of the bones and the distribution of the muscles.
"Ouch! That hurts! Be gentle!" Sanji yelled, trying to pull away, but Lin Ning held him firmly.
"Quiet." Lin Ning continued his examination, his fingers like pincers pressing down Sanji's chest, abdomen, and spine.
"Are you examining my bones or disassembling them, Lin Ning!" Sanji's voice almost pierced the sky.
Lin Ning glanced at him. "Shut up, or it'll hurt more."
"There's more pain?!" Sanji's groans became even more tragic, causing Nami and Usopp to hold their heads and laugh nearby.
"Hahahahaha, Sanji, your voice... it's like a plucked rooster!" Nami clutched her stomach, laughing so hard she couldn't stand straight.
"Poor Sanji, I told you, the price of training is extremely painful!" Usopp wiped away tears while shaking his head, his eyes full of schadenfreude.
Lin Ning ignored their laughter, focusing intently on Sanji's bone condition.
His fingers, like steel clamps, pressed on Sanji's spine, then his arms, chest, and finally his legs.
"Good, the bone structure is compact, and the muscle distribution is even."
"And now?" Sanji endured the pain, gritting his teeth and asking, "Can I start practicing the Body Tempering Technique now?"
"Yes." Lin Ning nodded, straightened up, "This set of Body Tempering Technique is custom-made for you.
The Early Stage has a total of six forms, each with a unique breathing rhythm and action requirements."
Lin Ning said, demonstrating a movement.
His body lowered, his legs slightly bent, his fists clenched, with a long exhalation.
His fists shot out like cannonballs, and a faint whooshing sound could even be heard in the air.
"This is the first form." Lin Ning looked up at Sanji:
"Remember, the key to the Body Tempering Technique lies in the coordination of breathing and movement. Otherwise, practicing it is useless."
Sanji's eyes lit up. He immediately mimicked Lin Ning's movements, took a deep breath, and punched, imitating Lin Ning's rhythm.
However, he was only halfway through his movement when Lin Ning's cold voice came, "Wrong! Your breathing is incorrect, start over!"
In the time that followed, Sanji's low growls, gasps, and Lin Ning's reprimands constantly echoed on the deck.
Luffy and Zoro practiced their respective Body Tempering Techniques, while Nami and Usopp exercised nearby, occasionally sneaking a glance.
"This Body Tempering Technique looks so powerful..." Usopp mumbled softly. "I wonder when I'll be able to practice it."
"You should focus on the basics first, Usopp." Nami sighed helplessly. "Lin Ning's standards are terrifyingly high; it's better for us to be more grounded."
As the sun slowly rose from the horizon, Sanji finally mastered all six forms of the Body Tempering Technique.
Although his body was soaked with sweat, steaming red all over, his face was full of excitement.
"Alright, Sanji, you've mastered it. Now it's time for extensive daily practice."
Lin Ning looked at Sanji, his tone finally softening a bit. "Next is the training of mental will, but before that, Sanji, go prepare a large amount of meat."
"After practicing the Body Tempering Technique, you need to replenish a lot of energy!"
"Leave it to me!" Sanji grinned, shaking his wet hair:
"Lin Ning, I definitely won't disappoint you in the upcoming training!"
At sunrise, the sky was tinged with gold, the going merry continued its voyage in the morning light, and everyone on board continued to grow stronger through their diligent training.
