Time flies; another week has passed in the blink of an eye.
On the undulating sea, the huge Thriller Bark kept moving forward.
On the vast training ground.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Two identical figures were fighting fiercely.
"Tempest Kick!" Luke's eyes turn sharp.
His body, like lightning, kicked out violently.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
Several light green air blades appeared out of thin air.
"Paper Arts!"
Opposite him, the Shadow Clone, whose appearance had changed just like Luke's appearance and was completely indistinguishable, moved in the wind at an incredibly weird angle, like an extremely thin piece of paper.
He dodged the incoming air blades one by one.
The next moment, it snapped its fingers: "Flying Finger Pistol!"
One after another, thin, invisible, compressed air shock waves came through the air.
But Luke narrowly dodged it.
"Shave!!"
Almost at the same time, the two figures stamped their feet and rushed out.
Their fists and feet became as black as ink, being wrapped around Armament Haki, crazily punching and kicking.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
For a while, the fists and legs' afterimage create a dazzling scene.
The two are constantly colliding there, extremely fierce and not giving in to each other.
"Woo hoo hoo..."
The ground cracked, and gravel flew.
The undulating sea surface in the distance seemed to become more turbulent.
"Oh ho ho ho, even the shadow clone has powerful combat forces ..."
In a clearing in the distance, Brook, who was practicing swordsmanship there, sighed with emotion: "As expected of captain!"
"Huh, of course, Luke-sama is a man destined to become the Pirate King!" Perona, who had just finished her morning exercise around the Thriller Bark, was shaking off her sweat while speaking with pride.
As she spoke, she untied the extremely heavy lead bags on her arms and legs, as well as the exaggerated weight-bearing clothes on her body.
Then she sat down and felt relaxed instantly.
When the Zombie reached her side, she took the juice from the Zombie's hand, and her eyes narrowed as she enjoyed it happily.
"Huh...huh... I can't hold on any longer!"
Dr. Hogback, who was weakly lying on the ground, was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
These days, Luke has forced him to continuously do training.
He had gradually adapted to it, but not long ago, Luke started to increase the amount.
Running with a heavy load is undoubtedly a huge challenge for a fat house otaku like Hogback.
But as time goes by, putting aside the devil fruit ability, the two people who could only be regarded as having five scum combat power, the gap between them has gradually become apparent.
Perona is young and energetic, with greater potential, but she was too lazy and neglected to exercise in the past.
Under Luke's high-pressure training, the progress is not slow.
Whether it is physical fitness or physical skills, she has begun to leave Dr. Hogback, the ship's doctor, behind.
Just like now, with the morning training task assigned by Luke completed, Perona still has some energy left.
But Dr. Hogback was extremely exhausted.
His physical strength was almost all gone.
"Retractable... Snake!"
At this time, Luke gives the Shadow Clone a hard blow and retreats.
Suddenly, several punches came; it continuously extended and turned freely at tricky angles as it madly bombarded Luke in front.
"Whoosh... Whoosh..."
The piercing sound continued to echo, and the sky was densely packed with dark fist afterimage. It seemed to be entangled with the quite amount of Armament Haki.
"Swish, swish..." However, Luke seemed to be able to predict the future.
With the Observation Haki, his body was like a small boat in the waves, swinging at an incredible angle and speed like a residual image.
He narrowly avoided the punches that kept coming.
The next moment, under Brook and others' astonished eyes Luke's fists wrapped with Armament Haki, also swung out.
"What!?"
Perona screamed while Brook and Hogback lost their voices.
Because Luke's fists, like the shadow clone in front of him, were like rubber and also stretched out strangely.
Their fists kept colliding with each other.
"Boom…" "Boom..."
The explosion continued as the two figures kept colliding.
A large amount of smoke and dust flew, and gravel splashed.
It was a little hard to see clearly.
"Shadow Revolution: Partial enlargement... Giant Pistol!!!"
At this moment, almost at the same time.
Two identical figures shouted at the same time.
Their fists swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a giant fist, and the two hit each other hard.
"Bang!!"
There was a loud noise.
The whole giant ship shook violently.
The training ground reinforced with cement under the feet of the two was directly torn apart and collapsed mercilessly.
Large pieces of gravel, accompanied by amazing shock waves, kept sweeping away.
The big trees were nearly pressed to the ground.
On the sea, the waves were surging.
Creating a shocking scene.
"Hu—" Luke and his Shadow Clone stood there at the same time and did not continue the battle.
"Luke-sama, have you been able to control the second shadow?" Perona's spirit body floated over.
She blink her big eyes, full of curiosity.
Just now, Luke used the ability of Shadow Revolution to change his shadow and affect his body when his Shadow Clone already left his body.
He even enlarged his fist to the size of a giant's fist and faced head-on with his Shadow Clone.
"Swish!"
The Shadow Clone, which was no different from a real person, changed.
It turned into a dark shadow at a speed visible to the naked eye and returned to his shadow.
"It's still a little short..." Luke hugged his arms and shrugged: "It's just that when my Shadow clone is separated, the ability of Shadow-Shadow Fruit can be used normally!"
"It will take some time to generate a second Shadow Clone that can move freely!"
These days, he has been working hard to develop the ability of Shadow-Shadow Fruit.
He can already use other abilities of Shadow-Shadow Fruit normally when Shadow Clone leaves his body without being affected.
But it's still a little short of truly creating a second Shadow Clone.
Because Shadow Clone is not an ordinary clone, although it can be completely dominated and controlled by himself, strictly speaking, it has a certain self-awareness like those deprived shadows.
Therefore, it can exert a combat power infinitely close to the original body.
Of course, Shadow Clone is not completely flawless.
When it and the original body are both engaged in battle, it is equivalent to one plus one.
The consumption of his own physical strength is quite enormous.
Ordinary people really can't hold on for long.
