"Tea...Teacher, do you know her?" Smoker looked at Shakky, who had suddenly appeared, and his expression turned iron-blue.
Watching Smoker, who had a ghostly expression, Kai patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "It seems that you've suffered a lot from Sister Shakky."
Outsiders might not know Shakky's strength, but Kai clearly knew it.
This woman, whom even the Marine Headquarters' hero Garp had chased across the sea but was still standing here unscathed,
was enough to show that Shakky's strength was the real deal.
It wasn't difficult to abuse Smoker, who didn't even know dual-color Haki.
"This kid came to my bar for a drink once. I only charged him 1 million Berries, but he gave me trouble for a few days in a row, so I beat him up a few times." Shakky exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said with a nonchalant expression.
Faced with these words, the expressions of many people stiffened at once.
Especially Zoro, who was planning to find an opportunity to go for a drink, the muscles on his cheeks were twitching.
Drinking once for 1 million Berries was something he couldn't even do if he sold himself.
He really suspected what kind of wine he had drunk for 1 million Berries.
No wonder this Marine officer had come to find trouble several times.
If it were him, he would have already taken a knife and chopped them up.
"Alright, Luffy, you continue to carry out weight training. If you can still display the speed you had just now under the weight, then you'll have completed the first stage of training." Kai said indifferently.
"Ah, teacher, can you let me rest for a while longer? I'm about to be crushed into rubber mud!"
"Luffy, escaping from training is the behavior of the weak. If you say no, I'll come to urge you with a knife in the future."
"Luffy, my little leather shoes are also eagerly waiting."
Watching the three people, who had suddenly become full of fighting spirit, Tashigi, who had originally stopped to watch the battle, also continued to swing her sword.
The battle between Luffy and Smoker just now had passed in the blink of an eye.
But it was precisely because of this reason that they had seen the way to become stronger.
"Tea...Teacher, I want to try these weights..." Smoker glanced at the black weight equipment that had smashed through the ground.
"You want to try? Then be careful!" Luffy said hesitantly for a moment.
Watching this scene, Smoker's expression stiffened, and he still stepped forward quickly.
When he weighed the gauntlets, clothes, and other things, his expression turned iron-blue at once.
These things added up to at least 800 pounds.
Being able to blow away a sea serpent that was tens of meters huge with one punch while carrying these weights all day long,
he probably couldn't even walk.
"Do they all have weights on them?" Smoker couldn't help but look at Zoro and the others.
As they nodded, his face became even more ugly.
He had originally been fantasizing about following the ship for training and at least being able to stand out among the short people.
He had never expected to encounter a ship full of monsters. Compared to them, he was just a younger brother.
"Alright, you guys rest for a while first." Kai patted Smoker's shoulder and said, "I'll leave the toilet to you next."
After dropping these words, Kai followed Shakky and walked towards the Rip-off Bar.
"Little guy, what do you want to drink?" Shakky took the lead and walked to the bar.
"Sister Shakky, don't be polite. Did you show up personally because there's something important?" Kai refused with a smile.
As one of the few people who knew his identity, Kai also saved himself the effort of keeping a straight face.
"Hehe, little guy, you're still impatient." Shakky casually poured a glass of rum, pushed it to Kai, and said, "This time, I'm looking for you to tell you that some remarkable people have come to this island these days. Taking advantage of the Marine's strength being empty, they're planning to hold an auction."
"I heard that the things being auctioned this time include two precious Devil Fruits. As for how valuable they are, I haven't found out."
Devil Fruits?
Kai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Since he had arrived in the world of One Piece, it was the first time he had encountered Devil Fruits appearing.
If there was really this kind of lively thing, Kai wouldn't mind joining in on the fun.
"Hehe, it seems that little guy, you're still a bit interested in Devil Fruits." Shakky chuckled dryly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. I shouldn't have said it, but my intuition tells me that I should tell little guy about this."
"My old man is helping Fire Fist Ace train. He really wants to defeat you. I originally thought that he might be a strong enemy, but I didn't expect that you were hiding so deeply in the battle ten days ago."
Ace?
Kai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he seemed a bit surprised.
Right now, he was training Luffy, and Rayleigh was training Ace.
Wouldn't that be considered an alternative competition?
On the other hand, just as Kai and the others had landed on the Sabaody Archipelago, in the Marine Headquarters' fleet admiral's office, Sengoku was standing in front of the French windows with a gloomy expression.
The fingers of his arms that were crossed were constantly tapping on his arms, and he seemed a bit impatient.
"Sengoku, don't be so rash. There's no use in being anxious. That kid is late, but who knows, he might have some surprises for us." Garp secretly stuffed a few rice crackers into his mouth and said with a laugh.
"You damn guy, you're stealing my things again. No wonder you're in such a good mood to come here and accompany me." Sengoku suddenly turned his head and looked at the empty plate on the table, and he was about to explode at once.
Bang! The tightly closed office door was pushed open, interrupting the battle that was about to break out.
"Tsuru, why are you here?" Sengoku raised his eyebrows and said urgently, "Is it related to Kai? That guy has been late for seven days!"
Ten days ago, Sengoku had hysterically supported Kai at the wharf and had even witnessed the birth of the bet.
If Kai told him now that he was going to retreat at the last moment, then his old face wouldn't have a place to put, and he might as well retire early.
"Sengoku, rest assured." Tsuru raised the Den Den Mushi in her hand and said, "That girl Ain has already sent back a recording. According to Zephyr's relay, this is the battle between Smoker and Garp's grandson."
"But the recording shows that the time is only ten seconds. I've already asked Zephyr, and he said that it's not wrong."
A ten-second battle process? Sengoku and Garp couldn't help but be stunned.
However, faced with the recording that was related to Kai and had been waited for for ten days, they still couldn't wait to flip it open and watch it.
"Garp, Smoker and your grandson are fighting. Who do you think will win?" Sengoku said while fiddling with the recording.
"Who will win?" Garp picked his nose and then said without thinking, "I think it's Smoker. That guy is a Logia-type Devil Fruit ability user. Luffy doesn't even know Haki, so it should be difficult for him to win."
Garp wanted to support his grandson, but the Devil Fruit ability restraint was clearly placed before his eyes.
If he forced himself to support him, he would probably only lose face.
However, just as this thought had flashed through Garp's mind, he watched the screen that had suddenly lit up, and his pupils contracted suddenly.
