Luffy and the others had safely made it to the recline about to fully enter the grandline.
Everyone was training even harder than ever not wanting to be in that same position of weakness again.
Kumi had began observation haki training while luffy was teaching them rokushiki.
Zoro and sanji wanted to start learning arament haki but their bodies were not conditioned enough yet.
Luffy knew the best way to train any technique was by battling so he had been sparring with them or in other words beating the living hell out of them.
The sparring he did with them showed results as everyone in the crew was slowly but surely improving.
Nami,ussop,coby, elmepo even sanji all had natural talent for observation haki so they picked up the bases pretty easily.
Luffy was not suprised by this much as they all had a talent for observation in the original series.
The only person he was kinda suprised learned observation so quickly was Nami as to his recollection she never learnt haki.
But it made sense she was this talented at it.Afterall she is technically the best navigator in one piece.
She even surpassed both sanji and ussop in terms of observation haki mastery.
Zoro while not having the same talent for it as Nami and the others was also able to pick it up quite easily due to his combat experience.
Hatchan on the other had had a hard time learning it but after a few pointers from luffy and kumi he was able to get a slight grasp of it.
They had all made significant progress in rokushiki sanji learning the geppo soru and tempest kick.
coby and elmepo learning tekai.coby was also able to pick up soru.
Nami learned soru,while ussop learned tekai and Kamie. While hatchan learned both tekai and geppo.
Zoro learned a sword style version of tempest kick luffy had created while also learning both tekai and soru.
"I got to say the crew is far stronger than the original even ussop and Nami can now hold their own against strong apponents."Said luffy to himself.
"Giving ussop the tranmuter fruit was a great idea on my part. His insane battle iq caused him to come up with super strong techniques such as making his body hard as steal or as flexible as water."Said luffy.
Luffy looked up as he saw a giant whale heading towards the ship with it's mouth wide open.
"Luffy a giant whale is about to swallow the ship you didn't tell me entering the grandline would be this dangerous!"shouted ussop.
"Calm down we can avoid it but killing it could give us alot of food."said sanji.Momo saw the giant whale as he immediately got scared and rentered the ship through a special compartment beneath ship as he hid himself inside the pool.
Luffy jumped up into the air as he landed atop the whales head as many scars covered its head.
Luffy knew this whale was laboon as he reconized him instantly.
