Improving Training Plans

"Liam, Luffy!"

Chopper who saw Liam and Luffy covered in blood shouted. He was frightened by their injuries.

"What happened? How did you guys get injured?"

"Chopper, you are the doctor. Cure them!" Usopp slapped his head and shouted.

He was also shocked to see their conditions.

Chopper hurriedly started bandaging them after putting healing cream over their wounds.

Zoro was less injured so he simply just took some rest while Nami wasn't injured at all.

One of the main reasons why Luffy and Liam got so injured was that they were trying to contain three people at once.

Blackbeard, Van Okar, and Doc Q.

These three were the trickiest people in that group. As for Burgess, he was only strong which was easily contained by Zoro.

While they were recovering, Robin returned with the news about Mount Blanc Cricket.

They soon traveled to this man's place and found him. Liam and Luffy left all the important discussion to Nami as they continued to recover.

It was almost the night when they finally started to move.

Because of extreme hunger from losing so much energy after recovery, they started devouring food.

After eating until they got fat, Liam finally sat in front of Luffy and said.

"Luffy, we are still weak."

Although this didn't need to be said, he still said that. This was because Liam knew he could prevent a lot of death even if they are not related to straw hat crews just by making Luffy and the crew stronger.

You have to understand Luffy learned Future Sight in a single battle. He also learned Ryo in just a week.

He even learned Conqueror Coating in just a few battles with Kaido.

There are millions of people in this world but why only four people are called Emperors?

That's because they can use Conqueror Coating and has ridiculous power.

Kaido, Big Mom, and Whitebeard achieved such a level of power through constant battles in their lives.

Shanks also achieved such levels of strength through constant battles but he was more talented in Haki as well.

So, he managed to reach the level of Emperor in just a decade and more.

But, Luffy was different. Even without the help of Liam, he would become an Emperor in less than three years.

Even completely putting aside his devil fruit, the fact that he was able to master Advance Conqueror, Advance Armament, and Advance Observation Haki before the age of twenty represents his talent.

Of course, his devil fruit also played a huge part in this. Because most of the time, he was beaten severely to awaken these kinds of power.

If it wasn't for the endurance of his devil fruit, he would've died. So, it can be said that he has everything that he needed to become stronger.

Hearing Liam's words, Luffy got silent. In fact, he also understood this. He didn't want to let go of Blackbeard if Liam hasn't backed down.

Although he was still the same goofy person, he had put one priority on his mind.

Don't put your crew at risk.

During that battle, Van tried sniping Nami a few times. If it wasn't for his good Observations Haki, she would've died.

That's why he knows what to say.

With a slight confusion in his eyes, he asked.

"What should I do, Liam?"

"Captain, what do you want to do the most?" Liam smiled and asked.

Luffy raised his fists and bumped as he said.

"I want to become stronger so that he can always protect my crew."

Liam continued to smile as he said.

"Then, I have thought of a shortcut for you. That being said, it isn't exactly a shortcut but rather a harsh and short method. Do you want to try it?"

Luffy's eyes sparkled as he asked.

"Really?"

"I have thought of letting Usopp create a bracelet with the help of Seastone. After he crafts that, you will need to wear it." Liam nodded his head and explained.

"But wait, if I touch seastone I will lose all of my energy." Luffy anxiously asked.

"That's why I want you to wear it. That's the best way to increase your physical strength. Everything that you do while wearing seastone will feel extremely hard which will increase your strength quite fast."

"But, the most important thing is to use your Haki while using Seastone."

Liam explained.

"Oh! Alright, I will do it." Luffy understood his intention and immediately agreed. Nothing is better than increasing his strength.

"By the way, the faster you adapt to the influence of Seastone, the earlier you can go on any kind of adventure."

"And, also don't forget to constantly use Armament Haki. You can use it by simply coating your hat with Armament Haki all the time."

"Once you succeed in using Armament Haki for twenty-four hours, start by using Haki in your entire body and slowly adapt it to using it constantly for twenty-four hours."

"Right now, you might not understand it quite well but when you fight against the powerhouses, either you defeat them with an overwhelming last attack or simply fight them until they run out of energy."

"Unless you want to rely on others to defeat your enemy together with you." Liam continued to explain.

"No, I must defeat my enemy with my own strength. Liam, I will definitely train as you suggested."

Luffy clenched his fist as he spoke.

"Good! Then, I will call everyone and improve their training methods with Seastone as well."

Liam nodded his head and walked out.

Everyone was waiting for them outside, looking a bit down.

Seeing their moods, Liam couldn't help but smile.

"Hey, where is the energy of Straw Hat Pirates?"

Hearing his words, everyone looked at him with complicated expressions.

Zoro was the first to open his mouth.

"Liam, help me stronger!"

"Humph! Liam, you must help me get stronger first." Sanji immediately shouted when he heard Zoro.

Others didn't speak but they all had the same intention.

Liam couldn't help but smile seeing their mood.

"Alright, let's make our training even more effective. But, while training, don't forget about our adventures."

"Of course!"

Hearing his words, everyone finally smiled and shouted at the same time.

Liam nodded his head and turned his head at Zoro and Sanji.

"For you two, I have a simple way to increase your endurance and durability, especially for Sanji, it will increase his leg strength."

"This training is called 'Pulling the Ship'. You two will tie your body with the boat and instead of using the wind, we will rely on you two to pull the boat."

"When you two start getting comfortable for hours, then Zoro will quit this training. Otherwise, we might simply reach Laughtale tomorrow."

"Puffff! Hahaha"

When Liam said that, everyone burst into laughter together with Liam.

Only Zoro was glaring at Liam with red eyes as if he was waiting to eat him.

"Sorry, but that's the case for now. After you two finish your training together, Sanji will continue this training while Zoro will start training with Tempest Arm training where instead of using the leg, you will use the arm."

"While training this, you two will continuously use your Haki. Whether it is Armament Haki or Observation Haki, unless you run out of Haki, you will continue to use it."

"Especially Zoro, your job is to keep your Sword black all the time. Unless we are going into unknown territory where you need to fight, you must keep Armament Haki all the time."

After explaining their training methods, he turned his head at others.

"Since none of you have awakened Haki except for Usopp, your job is exactly not that hard. For Devil Fruit Users, your training is to wear Seastone bracelets all the time."

"While for none devil fruit users, you just need to train Navy Six Styles to perfection as soon as possible."

Hearing his training methods, everyone nodded their heads. This method was indeed brilliant.

Only Robin seemed a bit hesitant. It was her habit to remain cautious all the time but wearing Seastone will make her weak.

And, it might take her a long time to adapt to it.

Liam looked at everyone while nodding with satisfaction. When he saw the hesitation in Robin's expression, he couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, we will prepare two keys for those bracelets. Unless you lose your key, you can unlock it on your own."

"Sorry, just a habit." When Liam said that, Robin was a bit embarrassed.

"No, no, it is good to remain cautious. For someone with your identity, you must remain cautious. Right now, we are going to Sky Island so there is no need to worry but once we return, you must keep the key with you all the time."

Liam slowly walked next to her and patted her shoulder.

"Since you are our partner, we will not care about your past but it doesn't mean we will simply ignore your thoughts and past."

"Until you feel safe, you keep your guard up but we promise you, when we finally reach that point, we will avenge you and Ohara."
