Nami's eyes lit up at the words.
Rosen's smile was also very demonic; Luffy just needed a good beating.
That afternoon, Nami came to Rosen's room.
"I'm going to teach you Five Elements Release. The day before yesterday, you should have seen me use Water Release and Fire Release, so you have a preliminary concept, right?"
"Ah, this..."
Nami had indeed seen Rosen use Water Release and Fire Release, but it was limited to just seeing it. As for the concept, she still hadn't figured it out.
"Let's test your affinity first." Rosen took out a Chakra paper, and at the same time, placed his palm on Nami's shoulder: "Do you feel it?"
Nami felt a surge of power enter her body through Rosen's palm.
"Control this power and send it into the paper."
Nami followed Rosen's instructions, but it took a few tries before she completed the test.
The top left corner of the Chakra paper became damp, the top right corner ripped open, and the bottom left corner became wrinkled.
"You have Wind, Water, and Lightning affinities. Lightning is your primary affinity, while Wind and Water are slightly weaker."
"Old Man, are three affinities impressive?"
"That depends on your talent. Let's go outside; I'll show you these three affinities."
The two came outside, and Rosen said, "I'll show you Lightning Release first. It's a close-combat type: Lightning Release: Lightning Armor."
Rosen simply formed a few hand seals, and a layer of azure lightning immediately covered his body.
"In this state, your strength and speed will greatly increase, and it will also amplify other Lightning Release techniques."
Even from a dozen meters away, Nami could feel the hairs on her body stand on end.
"Lightning Release: Chidori!"
Rosen suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly striking the mountain wall in front of him, blasting a crater several meters in diameter.
"Next is Lightning Release: Qilin!"
The entire sky was covered in dark clouds, and lightning continuously struck from the sky, converging on Rosen's body.
Rosen's body was constantly infused with lightning energy, then transformed into a giant lightning beast. Rosen suddenly pointed towards the sea, and the lightning beast charged towards the sea.
Boom—
Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, ten thousand tons of seawater turned into a sky-high water pillar.
Nami's mouth hung open, her face full of disbelief.
"Next up is Water Release."
Water Release was clearly a very powerful aid at sea.
Rosen demonstrated several low-level and several Advanced Water Release techniques, and Nami was already speechless, unable to describe her feelings at that moment.
She knew Rosen was strong, but she hadn't expected him to be so ridiculously powerful.
Then came Wind Release, which also left Nami utterly shocked.
"You should primarily cultivation Lightning Release, with Wind and Water as support. Additionally, there's a Cultivation method I've just developed these past two days; you should also take time to cultivation it."
Rosen taught Nami a simplified Armament Haki Cultivation method.
He hoped Luffy could feel his love for him.
However, this Color of Arms Cultivation method was still very crude, it was the first version Rosen had developed, and he still needed to deeply develop this Cultivation method.
...
"Why is that Old Man always bothering Miss Nami? It's making Miss Nami miss out on the delicious food I've meticulously prepared for her." Sanji said, looking annoyed: "That Old Man must be a dirty old pervert."
"Isn't this good? When Nami is around, she beats me up every day." Luffy said foolishly.
"Why don't you challenge the Old Man? Maybe that'll stop him from bothering Nami." Zoro was instigating trouble.
"Yeah, yeah, I also think Zoro's suggestion is great." Luffy enjoyed watching the show.
"Is that Old Man very strong?"
"He's our Vice-Captain, of course he's strong." Zoro said as if it were obvious.
"From today on, I'm the Vice-Captain." Sanji said confidently.
"Sanji, I have high hopes for you. You must remember to teach the Old Man a profound lesson." Usopp was very much looking forward to Sanji's outcome. After all, even tough guys like Luffy and Zoro broke down in front of Rosen, so he believed Sanji's outcome would be the same.
He had originally thought Zoro was the Vice-Captain, but he hadn't expected it to be that Old Man.
He still highly recognized Zoro's strength.
In the battle against the Krieg Pirate Group that day, Zoro had already displayed his strength.
And he even dared to challenge the World's strongest swordsman.
This strength, this magnanimity, was enough to convince Sanji.
Yet, in that situation, Rosen, as the Vice-Captain, didn't participate in the battle, so he naturally assumed that Rosen wasn't a qualified Vice-Captain and that he himself was more deserving of the title.
Sanji, full of confidence, arrived outside Rosen's residence and saw Rosen sparring with Nami.
When Sanji saw Nami's strength, his eyes first sparkled with little stars, and then he felt that Rosen was misleading her.
After all, Nami's performance was simply too low-level.
And Rosen, who was fighting Nami, couldn't be that strong either, he thought.
Upon seeing the others arrive, Rosen and Nami stopped sparring.
"Nami, do you want me to teach you fighting? The Old Man is really too weak to be your fighting instructor." Luffy said confidently, raising his right arm to show off his biceps.
Nami pursed her lips, looked at Luffy, then looked at Rosen.
She thought to herself, the Old Man has never been serious with any of you.
If he were serious, he'd beat the crap out of you.
"Nami-chan, I am your most loyal knight! Now I shall rescue you from this despicable, lecherous Old Man. Please look forward to how I defeat this evil Dragon!" Sanji said confidently.
"Shut up! The Old Man is our Vice-Captain!" Nami considered Rosen her teacher, the person she respected most.
Sanji, still immersed in his own World, pointed at Rosen: "Perverted Old Man, I challenge you!"
Rosen could still barely maintain a smile at this moment, but his mouth and cheeks were twitching wildly, as if he was trying to suppress his anger.
"You want to challenge me? Alright... I'd be happy to accept your challenge." Rosen's eyes gleamed with madness: "By the way, do you like transvestites?"
"Transvestites?" Certain burly men in women's clothing flashed through Sanji's mind, and he shook his head: "No, I don't. Why do you ask?"
"You'll learn to like them." Rosen said, and the shape of his pupils began to change.
Luffy and Zoro lowered their heads at the same time.
Don't look, don't look...
"Your eyes..."
The next moment, Rosen disappeared in front of Sanji.
Then Nami, Luffy, and Zoro all vanished.
Then Sanji heard a slight tremor in the ground. In the direction of the horizon, a transvestite with a full beard, heavy makeup, wearing women's clothes, and leg hair longer than his own hair, came running towards him from the horizon.
Then came the second, the third... a hundred, a thousand.
"Sanji-chan, I'm coming!" The transvestite was baring his fangs and claws, lunging at Sanji.
Sanji was so scared he took off running, with the transvestite army chasing and cornering him from behind.
Soon, Sanji was caught by the transvestite army.
"What are you doing? Don't mess around..."
"Help... Help me..."
The transvestites let out evil laughs, their voices like demonic sounds entering his ears.
Sanji tried to struggle, tried to resist.
But each of these transvestites was stronger than him.
Sanji heard the sound of his clothes tearing.
"Sanji is frozen in place. He must have fallen under a genjutsu, right?"
"Strange, didn't we all only stop for one second? Why is Sanji stopped for so long this time?"
Ten seconds later...
Sanji woke up and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Ah ah ah... Help me ah ah..." Sanji clutched his hair, letting out a heart-wrenching wail.
One month! For a whole month, he had been tormented by transvestites for a month.
Rosen stood in front of Sanji: "Sanji-chan! Do you want to continue? If you need it, next time it won't be one month, but a year, or even a hundred years. As long as you need it, I can satisfy you."
"No more, no more... I don't want it anymore." Sanji had completely surrendered at this point.
"Ah, Sanji, you're so amazing! You actually lasted a month. I broke down after just three days." Luffy said in surprise.
"Actually, as long as you avoid the Old Man's eyes, you won't fall for his genjutsu. Want to try harder?" Zoro was still relentlessly instigating trouble.
Sanji hesitated for a moment, and Zoro immediately shouted: "Old Man, Sanji wants to try again. Why don't you give him this chance?"
"Oh? Alright." Rosen's smile grew even brighter.
"As long as I avoid your eyes, I can avoid your genjutsu?"
"Oh dear... Zoro, genjutsu is my trump card, and you've exposed it!" Rosen said with a troubled expression.
"Sanji will find out sooner or later anyway." Zoro's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.
Sanji jumped back more than ten meters: "I'm going to challenge you again."
"Oh, alright. But my genjutsu can't be used now. That's difficult. Am I going to be defeated here today? I'm so unwilling."
Sanji's gaze remained on the ground, not daring to make eye contact with Rosen.
The next moment, Sanji suddenly charged at Rosen, delivering a flying kick.
Rosen quickly formed hand seals, Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu!
Sanji suddenly felt his feet sink downwards, as if a hand underground was pulling him down, and then his entire body sank into the ground, leaving only his head exposed.
Except for Nami, everyone looked at Sanji in surprise.
"Old Man, what ability is this again?"
"I forgot to tell you, I'm a Devil Fruit user of the Earth-Earth Fruit. As long as I stand on the earth, the earth will be under my control."
By now, everyone had already confirmed that all the abilities Rosen had displayed in the past had nothing to do with Devil Fruits.
Sanji tried to break the surrounding ground, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't exert any force.
"I... I surrender, Old Man, please let me go."
Just then, Chiu Chiu ran out of the room and came to Sanji, lifting his hind leg.
"Wait... You dead dog, what are you doing? No! Help!"
"Nami, it's too noisy here. Let's find another place to continue Cultivating."
