Jilla: "... How is this even possible...?"

Capone Bege: "I may not know much about swordsmanship, but from what Zoro said, it seems that Straw Hat over there has done something utterly unbelievable!"

Scratchmen Apoo: "Is it really that difficult to achieve in just one day?"

Cavendish: "Not just difficult—it's extremely, extraordinarily, SUPER hard!"

X Drake: "Yeah, I started training with swords as a kid. From my perspective, this is something no human should be capable of doing!!!"

Trafalgar Law: "Didn’t Hawk-Eyes just say it earlier? While mastering the sword requires starting young, prodigies are an exception! Clearly, Straw Hat Boss falls into the category of a prodigy."

Dracule Mihawk: "... Though I did mean to express that idea, even for me, completing basic training in a single day is an absolutely astonishing feat!"

Shanks: "It seems Luffy isn’t simply a 'prodigy'..."

Jewelry Bonney: "And you’re saying THIS isn’t being a prodigy???"

Shanks: "This is at least three levels above your average prodigy talent!"

Jewelry Bonney: "..."

Monkey D. Luffy: "Am I really that strong?"

Monkey D. Garp: "You idiot!! That’s Red-Hat Luffy we’re talking about! You’ve completely wasted your own potential, you moron!"

Tsuru: "You can’t blame everything on Luffy, Garp. You bear some responsibility too for how he turned out!"

Sengoku: "Garp didn’t have much choice—he was a Vice Admiral in the Marines; he couldn’t babysit every day."

Although the Straw Hat Pirates were scattered across different locations, upon seeing Zoro’s utterly stunned expression on screen, they collectively facepalmed...

Encountering such a monstrous version of Luffy must be so painful for poor Zoro...

["Ah..."]

[Zoro was dumbfounded!]

["Is it possible... that YOU’RE the kind of prodigy my master was talking about...?"]

[Zoro pondered deeply...]

[After a moment, he realized... Aside from this explanation, nothing else could make sense of what had just happened!]

["Hey, what’s my next training exercise?"]

[At this point, Luffy’s voice snapped Zoro out of his thoughts.]

["..."]

[Zoro thought for a while before speaking: "The next step should be strength training... uh, wait, it seems like you don’t need that..."]

["Slash training and strength training are the two foundations of swordsmanship. Since you’ve already mastered both, the next step is to grasp the essence of the sword!"]

["How do I do that?"]

["First, you need to choose a suitable blade."]

["This one feels fine—I’ll use it."]

["Then, decide which style suits you best—one-sword, two-sword, or multi-sword techniques. For example, I’m a three-sword style user."]

[Which sword style, huh?]

[Luffy fell into deep thought.]

[After a brief pause, he raised the sword in his hand: "I’ll start with one sword first."]

[Seeing Luffy choose the one-sword style, Zoro continued: "To truly grasp the way of the sword, you must fight using your blade. Only through combat can you adapt to your weapon and carve out your own path."]

["Secondly, after each battle, reflect and meditate to refine your understanding of your swordsmanship, identifying flaws and improving."]

[Hearing Zoro’s guidance, Luffy nodded: "Got it! No time to waste—let’s split up and train!"]

[Without wasting another second, Luffy dashed off into the forest.]

[With his slash training and strength training complete, all that remained was to gain insight into the sword through real battles.]

[Typically, someone like Zoro, who came from a formal dojo, would initially practice with fellow students until they gained enough skill to survive in actual combat.]

[But for Luffy, he skipped that stage entirely since his strength already ensured self-preservation.]

[As per usual, Luffy provoked hundreds of wild beasts in the forest, then switched to a wooden sword and began his brutal animal-hunting journey...]

[A Week Later...]

[Standing in front of the restaurant, Lupy looked at Zoro: "Didn’t you say your money would last us a month?"]

[Hearing this, Zoro seethed with frustration: “You never mentioned you ate THIS much either!!”]

[All the money Zoro had saved up as a bounty hunter had been devoured by Luffy...]

[Fortunately, while money might run out, people don’t starve easily—not with their level of strength...]

[Unfortunately, the wild animals in the forest suffered greatly...]

[The two continued their training in the mountains. When hungry, they randomly selected a “training partner” (wild beast) to hunt and roast. When thirsty, they picked fruits from the forest.]

[One day, it was Luffy’s turn to gather fruit...]

[He spotted coconut trees near the beach. Grabbing onto the edge of the cliff, he launched himself outward with a rubbery bounce.]

[Landing on the shore, Luffy plucked several coconuts.]

[Just as he was about to leave, a wave crashed against the sand.]

[Huh?]

[Luffy’s gaze sharpened slightly!]

[He turned toward the beach...]

[Ding!]

[Entering the bonus quiz segment!]

Suddenly, a question appeared on the big screen.
