After two hours of nonstop fighting, Luffy finally won his fight against an animal he'd never defeated before: an Ape. Ever since Luffy was seven, after Garp introduced him, he's been fighting that Ape, hoping to beat him one day. I must say I'm proud of him. Luffy tried and failed countless times before, but you know what they say: Countless times is the charm.
"Congratulations, Luffy, you finally beat that Ape after all of the tries you had."
"Thanks, Ace. How old were you when you beat that Ape?"
"I never fought that Ape, but I did beat that huge tiger when I was eight years old."
"Man, Ace, you're awesome."
"Of course I am, there's no one as awesome as me, I'm one of a kind."
"How about Sabo? Did he ever fight that tiger?"
"To be honest, Sabo never fought that tiger, but he would've beaten him way earlier than you because you're already ten years old."
"You know, Ace, one of these days I'll be strong enough to beat both you and Sabo."
"Sure, as if an idiot like you could ever beat me or Sabo, but don't feel too bad because I think it's time I'll tell you a secret., It's something interesting."
"Secret, interesting. What is it? Is it some kind of food?"
"No, you idiot, it's something else, and we just ate, so stay focused."
"Huh, but I'm still so hungry." 'Okay, fine, well, go hunt before we continue training."
"Huh, you mean it? You're the best Ace."
"Yeah, of course I am, but listen to this first, you need to learn about it."
"Huh, what is it ?"
"Listen well, Luffy, there are three types of devil fruits: Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan."
"Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan, huh."
"That's right, Paramecia is the most common of all three; they grant any power to the user except for turning into an animal or an element."
"Ace, I don't understand what that means, and I'm so hungry."
Luffy's stomach is grumbling.
"Of course not, your brain. Your brain is made of rubber. Just listen, and you don't have to understand, but you have great recall. Logia is considered to be the most powerful of all three types of devil fruits."
"Once you eat a logia fruit, it can physically transform into a particular element of nature., On top of creating that element from their body, it serves to distinguish them from other devil fruits, particularly paramecia powers. For example, some devil fruits can turn the fruit eater into fire, smoke, ice, etc."
"Zoan powers are the rarest of them all; they are extremely special. That type of Devil Fruit can turn your body into an animal. There are tigers, giraffes, wolves, and there's even human devil fruits."
"Man, Ace, I never thought there would be so many devil fruits in the world."
"Well, it's rare for people like us ever to find one., It's not too much to say you're one of the lucky ones, Luffy. There aren't many people in the East Blue who know about devil fruits, let alone eat one. The place you'll find countless devil fruits and devil fruit users is across the Grand Line."
"Oh, I get it, that's why you like to train a lot to fight people with devil fruits in the Grand Line."
"Well, that's one of the reasons the Grand Line is extremely dangerous., You have to be strong, and sometimes you have to be lucky too. Not many people survive those perilous seas. There's a reason they call it a pirate graveyard."
"Wow, the grand line is so cool, but it's really dangerous."
"That's right, that's why we have to use every way we can to get stronger, even if it is by a little bit, so let's go train Luffy."
"Okay, but Ace,"
"What? What is it?"
Luffy's stomach is grumbling. "I'm still hungry."
"All right, let's go eat first, then we can train after that."
"Okay."
Man, this guy's appetite gets bigger the older he gets. I don't think anyone in the One Piece world could beat him if there were an eating contest. Well, he would have some competition. There's Big Mom, Ginny, and her daughter, Bonney.
