Training Plans

Bang! Splash!

He managed to break the mast into pieces and the impact released after the punch threw them away from the ship.

But the more pieces of the ship fell over them.

"Shit! Everyone, help them get inside."

Liam's face turned green as he regretted using his new attack without even thinking about it. He just found it really cool so he just tried it.

But, he didn't expect it to fail and fail miserably.

"Hahaha! Liam, let me try."

[Second Gear]

Luffy instantly entered second gear and his blood started pumping heavily, releasing steam out of his body.

Whoosh!

He raised both of his fists above him and started punching at a supersonic speed.

[Gomu-Gomu No- Gattling]

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a single attack, he managed to break all of those pieces into dust and wipe them away from their ship.

"Thank god, you were here, Luffy! I was sure that attack would work but didn't expect it to fail so miserably."

Liam heavily sighed a breath of relief when he saw Luffy's attack.

"By the way, what kind of attack was that? You seemed very confident about your own attack."

Zoro curiously asked.

Hearing his words, others also curiously stared at him.

Liam was embarrassed by his question. He didn't want to say that he was stealing this attack from Luffy's grandfather but he had no other choice.

"This is actually Luffy's grandfather's attack called 'Galaxy Impact'. It is a super strong attack capable of destroying an entire island. It's just that I thought using armament alone would be enough but I was clearly wrong."

"Wow! Is that even possible?"

Usopp's jaws dropped to the ground as he asked.

"A single fist can destroy an island? That sounds like a joke to me." Sanji also shook his head in disbelief.

Unlike others, he has seen the power of Germa so he didn't believe Garp's strength would be that much higher than others.

"Although I said the island-destroying attack, I didn't mean literally turning it into dust. What I mean is that he could launch an attack that was powerful enough to shatter everything on the island, not the island itself."

"Of course, if he fights someone with a similar power level, then the island might get destroyed. You have no idea just how powerful the top-level powerhouses are."

Liam was speechless by their remarks so he decided to explain it to them and correct their misunderstanding.

"I really want to get that strong." Hearing his grandpa's strength, Luffy clenched his fist and spoke in excitement.

"Me too! Only then I can stand at the top of the swordsmanship." Zoro also smiled and touched the hilt of his sword.

"Well, I am not losing to Moss Head so count me in." Sanji lit up his cigarette and spoke.

"Ahem! I am the brave warrior of the sea so obviously I can't lose to you guys." Usopp proudly raised his head and spoke.

"Really Usopp?" Chopper looked at Usopp with wide eyes and asked.

"Of course!" Usopp proudly nodded his head.

"You guys are too attached to strength." Nami couldn't help but sigh upon hearing their words.

"Well, they are the main fighters of our ship." Vivi chuckled.

"It seems like everyone is motivated for more training." Robin also gave out a smile as she spoke.

"Then, you guys should train harder. Luffy, you have been trained by your grandfather for ten years. Although he didn't impart you with any specific skill, your foundation for strength is extremely solid."

"So, you must try to learn Advance Armament and Advance Observation within the next three months."

"As for Zoro and Sanji, it's not that I am underestimating you guys. But, your own specialties are different."

"Liam, you don't have to sugarcoat things. Just tell us your plan." Zoro suddenly interrupted Liam's words and spoke with a serious expression.

He knew that Liam was indirectly telling Zoro that his talent wasn't as good as Luffy's. He was afraid of hurting Zoro's self-esteem but Zoro never cared about so-called talent.

He believed in hard work. Besides, is it wrong for his captain to be stronger than him?

"Alright! You should simply focus more on Armament and try to master Advance Armament Haki. Also, try to awaken Observation Haki and master it to a certain degree."

"As for Sanji, you need to do the exact opposite. You need to do the exact opposite which is to master Advance Observation Haki."

Suddenly, he paused for a moment and said.

"I have no idea how to specifically train Advance Armament Haki and Advance Observation Haki. But, I do know some little details. So, I will explain them right now."

"First, let's start with Observation Haki. Advance Observation Haki has several usages such as covering a massive distance Observation Haki. The second is peeking into the future."

"The third is listening to others' emotions and thoughts. The final form which is not exactly Observation Haki but seemed like the Observation Haki."

"This form is said to be something that a person is born with. It allows you to hear the voice of other creatures such as animals and even sea kings. Not only that, you can even hear the voice of the non-living things and understand it."

"Sanji, you don't have to go that deep. I believe the first wouldn't be a problem for you. So, the real challenge would be the second usage which is seeing the future."

"As for emotions, you could give it a try but I believe it will take quite a long time to reach there."

After speaking, he looked at Sanji who nodded at him.

"The next is Advance Armament Haki. There are two stages of Advance Armament Haki. But before that, there is one more stage which is full body coating."

"It can only be done after gathering a massive amount of Haki. So, you must vigorously fight and train so that you can gather more and more Haki through battles."

"After that, you need to reach Advance Armament. The first stage is External Release. It is simply releasing Haki outside your body, forming an armor around you."

"This can not only defend you quite well but also make your attack much stronger. The next stage is Internal Destruction. This time, you need to guide your Armament Haki into your opponent's body."

"This way, you can use your Armament Haki to deal heavy damage to your opponent. For the opponents like Big Mom and Kaido, only Advance Armament Haki do any kind of damage to it."

After speaking, he looked at Zoro who similar to Sanji nodded at him.

Finally, Liam looked at Luffy and said.

"You need to master both. This is a really difficult task for you, not because of your talent but because of your character."

"To master both of them, you must remain calm and collected. I know this is extremely difficult for you but you are the captain. If you fail in the battle against our enemies, the crew will be destroyed and everyone's dream will fail."

"So, Captain, do your best!"

Liam knew that this was the best way to motivate his captain so he immediately used the emotional card.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard about the destruction of the crew and the ending of the crew's dream, his expression got serious.

He nodded his head and said.

"I will definitely master it."

Liam finally smiled and said.

"Actually, I know you would be able to master it. But, as I said before, I want to prevent tragedies. So, if you can master Advance Armament Haki and Advance Observation Haki before we reach New World, we can officially challenge the emperors."

"And, you know what that means, right? Defeating the emperor means we will be one step closer to you becoming King of the Pirates."

Hearing his words, a bright smile appeared on Luffy's face. He raised his hands and shouted.

"Yoxi! I am going to train hard."

Finally, Liam turned his head at Usopp and said.

"You should continue with your Observation Haki training. But, also don't forget about Armament Haki. Because you are our Sniper."

Liam turned his head at Chopper and said.

"You need to develop your Rumble Ball and continue Haki training."

Finally, he turned his head toward three girls and spoke.

"As for the three of you, the training is simple as before."

"Humph! Are you underestimating us?" Nami raised her fist and snorted.

"Yeah, we can also do hard-core training." Vivi also nodded her head and spoke.

Robin didn't say anything but just continued to stare at him.

"Actually, you misunderstood me. Your training is the hardest because you three don't have proper physical training. Let's not talk about devil fruit, just to awaken Armament Haki, you need to go through several years of physical training."

"I can shorten it through several training methods but even that would take a long time. So, don't worry about the other things just focus on your physical training."

"For now though, we need to go to Gaya Island before we head to Sky Island. So, let's determine our route, Nami!"
