I teach kendo in the ninja world

Luffy, who was matured to the age of 29, obviously already has the physical fitness of a Shogun level, as well as the three-color Haki that is very high on average.

But for true generals, these are just their foundations.The reason why these people are able to stand at the top of the world is that everyone has their own unique things that are beyond the conventional strength evaluation system.

For example, Whitebeard's attack power, Kizaru's mobility, Kaido's recovery power, BIGMOM's defense power, etc...

After reaching the standard of physical skills, domineering, fruit and other achievements, you can become a general or pirate emperor if you have the ability to break the limit.

Obviously, the ripened Luffy doesn't have this.

Otherwise, this would not be a ripening ability, but a summoning of future projections.

We all know a very simple truth. The appearance of ripened food may look the same as that of normal ripening, but there must be various flaws or shortcomings on the inside.

That's the price of saving time.

Therefore, despite Luffy's unparalleled performance just now, he could still overwhelm Ringo and the others when fighting three of them, making it look like the three of them didn't know how to play.

But when he met Araki, he revealed his secret.

Facing this swordsmanship that was vaguely beyond the limits of the world, Luffy was like a fly trying to shake the tree with all his strength.

Armed and domineering, unable to defend!

Overlord color and domineering, the opponent is stronger!

Seeing and hearing the color is domineering and cannot be avoided!

The fruit awakens, and it doesn’t help at all!

The brilliant sword curtain pushed forward inch by inch, turning everything into ashes wherever it went. No matter how hard Luffy struggled or roared, he couldn't stop the opponent's footsteps for even an inch.

"Is that all? I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!!!"

He shouted unwillingly, but even his sound waves were swallowed up by the sword curtain that was just around the corner.

Just when he was about to be minced, another loud sword roar sounded, and accompanied by the sword roar rising into the sky at the same time, there was also a majestic domineering aura.

It was red-haired Shanks who took action.

Holding the famous sword Griffin in his hand with one hand, he mobilized the power of the entire world where he was with the Tyrant Territory, and finally stopped the advancement of the sword curtain.

"Shanks!"

Luffy shouted in surprise when he saw him, but Shanks had no time to reminisce with him now.

Because Araki had quietly appeared in front of the two of them.

"Are you still choosing to be my enemy after all, redhead?"

Araki's originally shining golden sword began to slowly seep blood drops, which meant that he was getting serious.

Unlike Luffy, who is a dabbler, it is not that simple to deal with the most domineering man in the world in front of him.

"Ah, this..."

Shanks scratched his head and said with a sneer on his face, "No, no, the kid is ignorant, why not..."

He was about to say his mantra out of habit, but he suddenly thought of the last time he tried to use the face fruit ability on Araki but suffered a backlash. He swallowed half of what he said and changed his words slightly stiffly, "Just... give him a small lesson. There's no need to make such a big fuss!"

"Is the child ignorant?"

Araki sneered and glanced at Luffy behind him, "Look at him for yourself. His beard has grown. Is he young?"

"what?"

Shanks was stunned and immediately turned around. He had only recognized Luffy from his ability and aura before, so he came to rescue him without really looking at his appearance carefully.

After all, what Jianwense Baqi perceives is breath, not image scanning.

When he looked back, he was also shocked, and saw that Luffy was actually much more mature than he thought.

Although he hasn't seen Luffy in person for a long time, he has always paid attention to his news. Not long ago, when Luffy was hailed as the new pirate emperor by the World Economic News, he even held a banquet to celebrate. Luffy at that time It's obviously very different from now.

This is actually a side effect of ripe fruit. Although it can ripen others, it will cause the target to age twice as fast.

Although Luffy is 29 years old at this time, his appearance is no different from that of a 40-year-old.

If he were to be ripened again, he would probably be transformed into Monkey D Kizaru.

Luffy explained the reason for his overmaturity, Shanks suddenly understood, and Araki smiled even colder.

"Want to help the Kozuki family regain the position of general?"

He looked at Luffy with a deadly look, "You are very brave!"

Shanks secretly said that it was bad. He had seen how Araki treated the loyalists of the Kozuki family, and he killed them without mercy.

How could Luffy get involved with them?

But at this time, he forgot everything. Araki could not let a group of people who were ready to subvert his regime at any time, and Shanks could not turn a blind eye to Luffy's crisis.

After all, this is the person he has already chosen to carry his will!

So, after confirming that there was no room for change, he put away his cheerful smile and became rarely serious.

"Luffy, get out of here, I will help you block him for now."

He said in a low voice.

"Shanks?"

Luffy was a little confused, couldn't they both defeat him together?

"Don't ask why, just leave!"

Shanks pushed Luffy away, then drew his sword and slashed at Araki.

"How stupid!"

Araki gently raised his hand to block Shanks' slash.

"Do you think you can stop me? Do you think if you stop me, they can run away?"

"Don't underestimate me. Even though I look like this, I am also the emperor of this sea!"

Shanks smiled boldly, and black and red lightning began to jump on the blade of the sword. However, compared to other people who used armed-color Haki and Overlord-colored Haki at the same time, the black armed-color Haki was dominant, but he was just the opposite.

The light red domineering lightning on the sword body is more eye-catching, connecting the wind and clouds and echoing all things.

【The Territory of Overlord】!

"I once met a person who looked a bit like you. He was powerful, courageous, and had great ideals, but he had a fatal flaw."

Araki was not in a hurry to take action, because the ninjas and samurai under his command were already surrounding Luffy and others.

"Oh? What shortcoming?"

"He believed in fate."

"Ok?"

Shanks didn't understand.

"The prophecy of fate said that he could not achieve his goal, but his disciples could. So he began to search all over the world for the disciples suitable to pass on his ideals, and he was extremely distressed about who was the person in the prophecy, until he died. I didn’t make the choice until before. Isn’t it ridiculous?”

The corners of Araki's lips curled up.

Shanks also wanted to smile, but he couldn't because the description was quite similar to his own.

Why would he put his hope in the future at the expense of an arm at his prime?

No one knew the reason, and Araki guessed that he might have been affected by some so-called prophecy.

"The biggest cause of your failure is to pin everything on others!"

With the final words of judgment, Araki slashed out with his sword.
