121: Chapter 120 Confession"Eight-Point Light Wheel - Multiple Cuts!" Inside the training space, countless light wheels flew and attacked the puppet like a storm.Luffy was soaked in sweat and panting heavily.His body was sending out signals that he needed to rest, but he ignored them.
In this situation, Luffy not only didn't stop, but simultaneously activated his Dark Form and Eight Elemental Domains.Seeing this, the system hurriedly advised, "Host, please stop!If you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it!"
These past few days, the dreams Zoro and the others have had have all been created by this system.As a system, it naturally understands its host's inner thoughts.However, it cannot directly interfere with every choice its host makes.Therefore, it can only use this method to remind Luffy's crew, hoping to help its host in the upcoming Marineford War.
However, Luffy completely ignored the system's advice.He used his last ounce of strength to unleash a powerful beam of light, instantly obliterating a group of puppets.Then, panting heavily, he knelt on the ground, muttering to himself, "No.this still isn't enough.this alone can't stop the three admirals' advance."
Despite the system's previous generous bestowal of Ability Stealing Cards and Peak Cards, no one could predict when an unexpected event would occur.The current situation demands immediate attention; Luffy must dedicate himself to training and improving himself as much as possible.As for how far he can go, that's up to fate!
At this moment, Luffy had successfully mastered the 25x multiplication ability of the Multiply-Multiply Fruit.He was eager to experience firsthand the astonishing boost to his strength that would occur with the 25x multiplication effect and all four gates open.Without hesitation, Luffy quickly exited his Dark Form and entered Nightmare Form, further amplifying his power by 25x.Just as Luffy was about to open all four gates, the system, unable to bear watching him push himself so hard, had to use its forced rest function, shutting Luffy down.Looking at Luffy collapsed on the ground, fast asleep, the system felt a pang of pity.It silently blocked Mr.3, who was watching nearby, and then a dazzling light flashed, revealing a beautiful, graceful young woman quietly appearing beside Luffy.
"Host, you should try to trust your companions' abilities.Overprotecting them will only hinder their growth.However, this requires you to make a firm decision." The girl gently stroked Lu Fei's sweat-drenched cheek and said softly.Then, she gently flicked her finger, and the sealed cultivation space slowly opened.
The girl gazed tenderly at Luffy, then transformed into a beam of light and instantly returned to the system.
Sensing the opening of the training space, people from the outside rushed in eagerly.When they saw Luffy lying on the ground, fast asleep, Chopper was frantic and immediately grabbed the first-aid kit and ran over.After a careful examination, Chopper discovered that Luffy had simply passed out from exhaustion and was otherwise unharmed.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the weight on their hearts finally lifted.
However, gazing at the sleeping Luffy, everyone's curiosity grew even stronger.What could have caused Luffy to be so exhausted?Their minds were filled with questions and worries, eager to know the answers.They could only wait until Luffy woke up to ask.To ensure Luffy could get a more thorough and comfortable rest, everyone worked together to find a nearby deserted island and make it their temporary shelter.Luffy then fell into a deep sleep, sleeping for a full three days and three nights!
On the third day, Luffy finally woke up from his deep sleep, but he felt unbearably sore all over, as if his body had been hollowed out.Luffy knew in his heart that he had really gone too far this time.Just as he was about to get out of bed and stretch his muscles, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and Chopper walked in with light steps.
Chopper spotted Luffy, who had already woken up, and his face immediately lit up with uncontrollable excitement.Without even saying a word, he turned and ran out, heading straight to the restaurant, eager to share the good news with everyone else.
At that moment, an enticing aroma filled the restaurant.Luffy pounced on the table of sumptuous food like a hungry tiger—a nutritious feast carefully prepared by Sanji.Luffy devoured the food on the table in the blink of an eye, stuffing the last bite of food from the plate into his stomach.
After filling his stomach, Luffy let out a long sigh of relief and slumped contentedly into his chair.Just then, Zoro stood up, blocking Luffy's path as he tried to leave.He looked at Luffy with a serious expression and solemnly asked, "Luffy, now you should tell us what happened that made you train so hard?"
Luffy, who had hoped to get away with it, felt a pang of anxiety when he saw the serious looks on his crewmates' faces.He knew he couldn't hide it any longer this time.He sighed helplessly and reached down to pull the precious Vivre Card from the brim of his straw hat.The others curiously gathered around, staring wide-eyed at the seemingly ordinary piece of paper.
However, to their surprise, the previously intact Life Paper was now emitting tiny sparks!As if ignited by a mysterious force, the sparks flickered and danced, seemingly conveying a dangerous signal.Luffy silently put the Life Paper away, then slowly said, "As you all know, once the Life Paper burns, it means the person it represents is in danger.Although Ace once told me that he had his own adventures and didn't want me to interfere even if he encountered danger, he's my sworn brother!"
At this point, Luffy's eyes became firm and resolute, "Brother.""My brother is in trouble, how can I, as his younger brother, just sit idly by?Even if it's a mountain of knives and a sea of fire ahead, I will brave it and rescue him from danger!" His voice was full of determination and courage, allowing everyone present to feel his deep affection for Ace and his unwavering belief in protecting his loved ones.
Luffy stopped talking after that, and everyone finally understood why he was fighting so desperately.Zoro, carrying three swords, walked up to Luffy and said seriously, "Luffy, we're comrades!No matter what happens, you should tell us.We'll help you without hesitation if it's your problem.If you keep this up from everyone again, don't blame me for being the first to leave you!" With that, Zoro turned and walked towards the door, entering the training space.
Zoro knew Ace's strength perfectly well.If even someone as powerful as him was in danger, a fierce battle was sure to follow.Therefore, he had to train as quickly as possible to improve his own strength.After Zoro left, the others expressed the same sentiment to Luffy and then followed him closely to begin training.
Luffy stood alone in the empty restaurant, sighed deeply, and muttered to himself, "I'm sorry everyone, but this time, I've decided to go alone."
