One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Early morning.

At the shore of Sabaody Archipelago.

Over forty massive ships were docked nearby.

Despite the early morning hour, the boats resounded with joyful laughter.

"Guurarara~"

"Straw hat kid, your current strength isn't enough to survive in the New World. If you rush in without caution, you'll only bring death upon your crewmates."

Whitebeard sat back, laughing heartily as he sipped his drink.

And in front of him, there is…

Strawhat Luffy!

With his ship undergoing the necessary coating, Whitebeard found himself with some free time. Redhair Shanks had asked him to take care of Luffy.

So simply take advantage of this time to prepare to teach Luffy and teach other crew.

As Luffy listened to the words in silence, his fist clenched tightly.

Although he was very unwilling.

But knowing that everything Whitebeard said was true.

And not to mention the New World, even in the first half of the Grand Line, there are some people he can't beat.

Several times, he came close to being destroyed by the Marines and World Goverment

Plus, he experienced the Summit War at Marineford.

He finally realized the vast number of strong people and the hidden monsters that reside in the New World.

Against these monsters, the Straw Hat Pirates are completely outmatched.

Entering the New World recklessly could mean certain death for him.

"Father, please teach my brother."

Ace pleaded beside them.

He understood that Luffy tended to act impulsively and lacked the necessary skills.

If Luffy enter into the treacherous seas of the second half of the Grand Line without caution, he could meet his end in the New World.

"Uncle Whitebeard, please train me!"

Luffy's eyes widened as he listened to Ace's words, and a surge of determination coursed through his veins. With a grateful heart, he humbly bowed down, showing his utmost respect.

He knows how strong Whitebeard is.

Even Aokiji, who could defeat him effortlessly, was badly wounded by a single punch from Whitebeard.

If Whitebeard is willing to teach him, Luffy can surely develop quickly and acquire the strength needed to enter the New World.

"Guurarara~"

"It takes ten times the effort of ordinary people to gain the strength required in the New World."

Whitebeard put the jar aside, his expression turning serious.

"No matter the cost, I will become stronger!"

Luffy clenched his fist tightly.

He didn't want to hurt himself or be separated from his crew.

"In that case, I'll teach you."

Whitebeard nodded.

"Really?"

Luffy's eyes widened in surprise.

Then, with a single leap, Whitebeard stood up and jumped onto the shore.

Seeing this, Luffy quickly followed suit.

"In this world, if you want to increase your strength, you can only focus on a few aspects."

"Next, I'll teach you about Haki," Whitebeard said, looking at Luffy.

"Haki?"

Luffy was surprised by Whitebeard's words.

Haki was not a foreign term to him.

But he had no experience in how to use it.

"Now, show me your full strength and attack me."

Whitebeard positioned his Naginata aside and stood completely still.

"Huh?"

"This?"

Luffy hesitated for a moment.

"Hahahaha~"

"Luffy, why are you hesitating? With your current strength, it's impossible to match Father."

Ace burst into laughter from the ship.

Upon hearing that, Luffy took a deep breath and crouched down.

Woosh~

After a while, steam began to appear.

To fight Whitebeard, he activated Gear Second directly!

"Is your brother going to train with Pops?"

Marco leaned on the railing, watching the upcoming battle below with interest.

"Yes."

"With his reckless nature and current strength, he won't survive in the New World."

Ace said helplessly.

"Haahaahaa~"

"Is it really alright?"

"Seeing how determined that kid is, do you really think he can land a hit on the old man Whitebeard?"

Crocodile stood nearby, observing the scene below, and couldn't help but smirk.

He didn't underestimate Luffy.

But the difference between them is too great.

The difference is so vast that even touching Whitebeard becomes a question.

"I hope the straw hat boy doesn't get discouraged."

Vista smiled.

"Relax, Luffy isn't that easily given up, he's kind of stubborn guy"

Ace smirked confidently.

He understands his brother very well.

He's always headstrong and stubborn, so losing a battle won't discourage him at all.

After several people talked, Luffy was also ready.

He clenched his fist, pressed it to the ground, and faced Whitebeard with a fighting spirit.

"Uncle Whitebeard, I'm going to attack!"

"Guurarara~"

"Don't hold back, unleash your strongest attack!"

Whitebeard remained motionless, his unwavering gaze fixed on Luffy.

When the words fell, Luffy's eyes flashed, and his body rushed forward as he stepped on his feet.

Flash~

In a blur of motion, an afterimage trailed behind Luffy.

In an instant, Luffy appeared right in front of Whitebeard.

Luffy leaped into the air, his fist clenched tightly with steam emanating from it, as he aimed a powerful strike at Whitebeard.

The fist soared through the air with incredible speed.

After a brief moment, it arrived right in front of Whitebeard.

"Is it going to hit?"

This thought crossed Luffy's mind.

But before he could fully process this thought, his eyes narrowed to slits.

Because at that very moment,

Whitebeard evaded!

With a slight turn of his head, Whitebeard effortlessly dodged the attack.

"Uncle Whitebeard is amazing!"

Luffy shouted with excitement and clenched his fist once more.

And this time, he swung his fist even faster than before.

At such a close range and with such incredible speed, it seemed impossible to dodge.

But Whitebeard seemed able to see the future.

Just as the fist was about to land, he effortlessly evaded it once again.

"This!"

Luffy's eyes widened, showing no mercy, and he shouted: "Gomu Gomu no pistol!"

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

The sound of air being torn apart filled the air.

His arms turned into bullet-like projectiles, relentlessly blasting towards Whitebeard.

But Whitebeard remained unfazed by the relentless barrage of attacks.

Whitebeard seemed to see through everything, no matter how Luffy attacked, he couldn't touch Whitebeard.

Witnessing this scene

With a swift move, Luffy created some distance between himself and Whitebeard.

However, instead of launching another attack, Luffy stood there in shock, his eyes locked on Whitebeard.

He really couldn't understand how Whitebeard did it.

Whitebeard managed to completely evade his attack!
