What shocked Nami the most was Link's incredible strength.
'Such speed and power… Wow! Was he hiding his strength before?!'
'From what Link just showed, it was clear he was not an ordinary fighter!'
'The results are even better than I expected!'
Link shook his arms with a grin, his eyes squinting in delight.
In the world of Doraemon, it's rare to find a tool that boosts someone's strength. The Super Luxury Power Candy is really amazing!
Super Luxury Power Candy was one of the items Link had drawn over the past three days.
Item: Super Luxury Power Candy.
Description: Eating it gives you superhuman body, strength, and speed!
Everyone knows that Doraemon is a children's anime, so items that enhance strength are very rare.
But the Super Luxury Power Candy is one of the few that can give someone incredible power without any conditions.
Link remembered this item well because it had only appeared once before.
At that moment, Nobita had been stubborn, and he finally bought one from a future encyclopedia company.
But before he could eat it, a baby, who was visiting Nobita's house, ended up eating it instead.
As a result...
With the terrifying boost from the candy, the baby caused quite a ruckus outside.
One of the most memorable moments was when he single-handedly stopped a speeding truck on the road...
A baby who couldn't even walk yet, just crawling on the ground, was able to hold a truck still with one hand.
And he was even shaking it up and down like it was nothing.
If a baby could do that, then Link, as an adult, would certainly be able to do the same!
After eating the candy, he could clearly feel changes in his body.
But on the sea, inside that small boat, he couldn't really test his full power.
Now, using Richie and Buggy's crew as practice targets was just perfect!
"The power is strong, and the speed isn't bad either…"
From his previous reactions and movements, Link guessed that at least in this East Blue, no one could match him in strength and speed.
Even Arlong, that fish-man, wouldn't stand a chance!
'Speaking of which, I could also try my strength against Arlong later and see where I rank in this pirate world…'
Link thought to himself.
But besides Arlong, there was another clear way to measure strength.
That was through Fighting Points.
Though it became less useful later, early on, it was a clear indicator of a person's strength.
In addition to the navy having devices to estimate Fighting Points, the skills of Six Styles and the technique called Hand Match could also measure strength.
'Maybe when we get to Water Seven, or somewhere along the way, I can measure my points easily…'
Link shook his fists and glanced to the side.
Over there, Zoro and Cabaji had already finished their fight.
Even though Cabaji was showing fiery emotions, Zoro was known for being cold and merciless with his enemies.
Cabaji's passionate spirit ultimately went unrecognized.
After Zoro knocked him down, he didn't even bother to look at him again.
"Is it already over?"
Luffy, who had been just watching the show while sending Buggy's head flying, was still observing Buggy's remaining body, which had stiffened up.
At first, it was lively and rolling around, but after Link tossed Richie into the wall, it lay there straight and motionless.
Except for being stiff as a board, there was no sign of movement at all.
"Wow, it was easier than I expected…"
Nami watched the scene before her, feeling speechless.
From her earlier observations and her experience in the sea, she understood enough.
This pirate crew had only these three officers.
And they had all been knocked out: Luffy sent one flying, Link knocked another out, and Zoro took down the last one.
All the fighters were down, leaving just a bunch of weaklings behind.
"Even though it looks simple, it seems I've really joined an incredible pirate crew…"
Nami first glanced at Luffy, then at Zoro, and finally her gaze landed on Link.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Vice Captain Mohji!!"
"Chief of Staff Cabaji!!"
"Richie!!"
The low-ranking members of Buggy's crew stared in shock at what just happened, feeling a chill rising from their feet.
Suddenly, gasps of disbelief echoed throughout the room.
