What shocked Nami was the strength Link possessed.
"Such speed and power... so amazing, was he hiding his strength before?!"
Just the glimpse Link showed was enough to reveal his extraordinary strength!!
"The effect is even better than I imagined!!"
Link shook his arm, his eyes narrowing with a smile.
"Among the world of Doraemon, the rare tool that enhances one's strength, the super-luxury power candy, is truly powerful."
The super-luxury power candy was one of the tools Link had drawn in the past three days.
tool: [super-luxury power candy].
Description: After consumption, one can gain a superhuman physique, strength, and speed!!
As is well known, Doraemon is a children's anime aimed at a young audience, so tools with strength-enhancing effects are very rare.
The super-luxury power candy, however, is one of the few tools that can unconditionally grant great power to a person.
Link remembered this tool very well; it had only appeared once.
That was when Nobita pestered Doraemon and finally managed to buy one from a future encyclopedia company.
But before Nobita could eat it, it was coincidentally eaten by a baby named Yo-Yo, who was visiting Nobita's house.
And so???
With the terrifying amplification and enhancement provided by this power candy, Yo-Yo caused a huge commotion outside.
The most classic example was him single-handedly stopping a large truck speeding down the road...
A child who couldn't even walk, only crawled on the ground, single-handedly stopped a large truck.
And he even casually rocked the truck up and down; such a terrifying boost... if a baby can do this, then Link, as an adult, certainly wouldn't be far behind!
After eating this power candy, he could clearly feel the changes in his body.
But on the high seas, in that small boat, he couldn't fully exert and test it.
And now, using Richie and the Buggy Pirates as test subjects for practice, it was just right!
"Very strong power, and not bad speed..."
From his reactions and movements just now, Link estimated that, at least in the East Blue, in terms of pure strength and speed, no one should be his opponent. Not even a Fish-Man like Arlong!
"Speaking of which, I can try my hand against Arlong then, to see what level my strength is in this Pirate King world..." Link mused to himself.
However, besides Arlong, there was actually a better, more intuitive way to gauge strength.
That was the Doriki value.
As a method of measuring power that was abandoned in the later stages when combat power soared, it was still very effective in intuitively reflecting a person's strength in the early stages.
Besides the Marines having instruments and methods to estimate Doriki, the advanced technique of Six Powers, Soru, could also measure Doriki.
In the original story, it was Fukurou, one of CP9 with a zipper on his mouth, who chattily defined the strengths of CP9, and also measured Lucci's Doriki value at four thousand before he used his Devil Fruit ability.
This value was extremely outstanding, already on par with a Marine Vice Admiral.
And not the civilian type of Vice Admiral, but a genuine combatant.
"Perhaps when I reach Water 7, or sometime along the way, I can get a simple measurement."
Link shook his fist and looked to the side.
There, the battle between Zoro and Cabaji had already been decided.
Although Cabaji expressed his emotions passionately, Zoro was famously cold-blooded towards his enemies.
Cabaji's burst of passion was ultimately swallowed in bitterness.
After being cut down by Zoro, he wasn't even given another glance.
"It's already over?"
Luffy, who had been slacking off the entire time, only punching Buggy's head away, had been observing Buggy's taut remaining body.
He had originally been bouncing and rolling around, but after Link punched Lion Richie flying back into the wall, he had been standing rigidly still.
Aside from his body being stiff, there was no other movement.
"It was even easier than I imagined..."
Nami looked at the scene before her, quite speechless.
Through her observations just now, and her own experience and discernment from being on the high seas, she pretty much understood.
There were only these three executives in this Pirate Crew.
Yet they were all either punched away by Luffy and Link, or knocked down by Zoro.
All the fighters were out of commission, leaving only the small fry.
"Although it looks very simple, it seems I really have joined an extraordinary Pirate Crew..." Nami first looked at Luffy, then at Zoro, and finally her gaze settled on Link.
A glint shone in her beautiful eyes.
"Moji, first mate!"
"Cabaji, Chief of Staff!"
"Richie!"
The Buggy Pirates' subordinates stared dumbfounded at the scene before them, feeling a chill rise from their feet.
Immediately, gasps of cold air rose and fell throughout the area.
