Seeing Doflamingo's arrogant demeanor, Law took a deep breath, then turned his head to the other side and jumped out of Chopper's arms.

Since I'm not yet capable of directly confronting Doflamingo, the best thing I should do is not waste time getting angry with Doflamingo, but rather seize the time to train my abilities!

Meanwhile, Gawain had already gone to the training ground to spar with Rayleigh. An old man like Rayleigh really needs to exercise to maintain his condition.

Seeing everyone engrossed in their training, Luo swallowed hard, clutching his longsword, and immediately headed towards the training ground.

Just as Luo was about to act, Kaya suddenly moved closer to him.

"Hello, Mr. Trafalgar, I'm Kaya, Gawain Gawain's secretary, his personal secretary~."

I just received orders from the adults to take you to the room that has been prepared for you to rest.

Your subordinates also have their own rooms; we'll be colleagues from now on!

So, please come with me~."

"No!"

Upon hearing Kaya's voice, Luo shook his head and said to Kaya.

"You can take my teammates to see where they can rest. Right now, I just want to go to the training ground and get some proper training."

Even Gawain is making the most of every moment to train, I really have no right to waste my time!

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo, carrying his longsword, walked towards the training ground.

Watching Luo's retreating figure, Kureha leisurely puffed on her pipe and chuckled.

"Hmph, another brat who values strength more than medical skills!"

They don't even think straight.

Why don't you think about this: if you improve your medical skills and surgical techniques, and replace me as the chief surgical expert of the Dark Bird Ship, then when Doflamingo is seriously injured, you can lead his surgery.

Surgery is a delicate procedure that is prone to problems. Besides, even if the surgery goes smoothly, isn't it possible that we might accidentally end up with our buttocks attached to our hands?

At this point, Kureha waved to Doflamingo from afar.

"Hey, kid, did you hear me?"

If you hear that, then you'd better remember to show more respect to the kids in my medical team from now on!

"Well..."

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo nodded to Kureha with a bitter expression.

"Hmm, I understand, Dr. Kureha."

Don't worry, how could I dare to offend you, the head of the medical team?

Doflamingo, I have the utmost respect for doctors and cooks, boo boo boo!

After all, one of them can make me eat shit without me even realizing it, and the other can make me die without me even realizing it, Fufu!!!

After saying that, Doflamingo smiled and waved to Kureha, then ran to the volleyball court and started playing volleyball with Jinbe.

After spending a lot of time with Doflamingo, Jinbe came to know what kind of person he was.

Aside from being rotten to the core, at least on the surface, Doflamingo showed considerable respect to the old men on the ship and Gawain.

Sometimes, Jinbe even felt that Doflamingo's gaze towards Gawain was a little strange, but Jinbe couldn't quite put his finger on what it was...

As for Luo, although he heard Kureha's words as he walked towards the training ground, he did not linger.

Rather than using medical technology to cause trouble, he'd rather use his own strength to take Doflamingo's head!

With this in mind, he observed the training ground for a while and then roughly found where he should stay at his level.

It seems that the guy carrying three swords is about as strong as I am now!

Noticing Law's approach, Zoro continued practicing his training without a care; he wasn't someone who would be influenced by his surroundings.

Tashigi, who was near Zoro, couldn't resist moving closer to Law.

"Hello, this is Tashigi."

I've never seen this sword before. Is it Skillful Grade Swords, or Great Grade 21 Swords?

"Well..."

Faced with Tashigi's enthusiasm and the way she looked at the longsword as if it were her husband.

Luo awkwardly handed the longsword to Tashigi.

"Hello, I am the surgeon Trafalgar. As for this sword, it is a cursed blade called Kikoku!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Law put his longsword aside and, following Zoro's example, took off his shirt.

While Law was taking off his clothes, Tashigi kept staring at Law's longsword.

Seeing Tashigi's expression, Zoro finally stopped what he was doing and turned to shout at Tashigi.

"Hey, you woman, don't make that stupid, slutty face like that on Kuina's face!!!"

"Mind your own business, Moss Head! I don't want to talk to someone like you who's clearly unworthy, yet still got a legendary Famous Sword as a gift from the master!!!"

In response to Zoro's shout, Tashigi replied to Zoro irritably, while also explaining to Law beside her.

"Let me introduce you. That annoying Moss Head swordsman is called Zoro. He's a damn lucky guy that makes everyone envious!"

He's clearly not even as strong as me, and his swordsmanship and Rokushiki aren't particularly outstanding, yet he still managed to win Gawain's favor!

That guy already had a superb Great Grade 21 Swords, also known as the Wado Ichimonji!

As a result, after the fight with Shiki, the old man actually handed over his spoils—the legendary twin swords from that legendary pirate Shiki, Oto and Kogarashi —to that bastard!!!

At this point, Tashigi clenched her teeth in envy.

"Why does such a shameless school of Three-Sword Style arts exist in the world? One person has to possess three super excellent swords!"

If I had known this would happen, I would have been stupid enough to say from the beginning that I practiced the Twelve-Sword Style!

"In that case, once I become the world's greatest swordsman, wouldn't I be able to wield a full twelve Supreme Grade Sword all by myself?"

"Pfft, hahaha!!!"

Just as Tashigi finished speaking, Zephyr, who was instructing Luffy on the Six Powers not far away, suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

While laughing, Zephyr looked at Tashigi and said...

"Hey, you little female marine, not every Supreme Grade Sword is suitable for you."

Forget about Mihawk's Black Blade Night; just that knife alone is enough to make you forget about sitting down once you carry it on your back.

Let's talk about Newgate's Murakumogiri and Kaido's Hassaikai.

The spiked club that the Hassaikai wield is six meters long.

Murakumogiri even reached a height of thirteen meters!

Twelve-Sword Style, huh? Want to take Supreme Grade Sword one go? You'd better become a mountain first, hahahahaha!!!

Amidst a burst of laughter, Zephyr punched Luffy into a state of mental dementia by his Kami-e practice...

Hearing Zephyr's words, Tashigi lowered her head helplessly.

"I understand, teacher. Besides, I was just joking."

But Zoro, that guy is really enviable!

Those were three whole Great Grade Swords!!!

"What are you envious of?"

Zephyr, holding Luffy, smiled and said to Tashigi.

"So what if you have three Great Grade Swords? Swords are made to be used by people. Besides, Oto and Kogarashi are relatively heavy and might not be suitable for a girl like you!"

In my opinion, the Rokumei Kotetsu Gawain's possession would be suitable for you. He's almost at the point where he needs to change his sword. Perhaps after he does, you can ask Gawain and Gion for the Rokumei Kotetsu to practice with!

"Why!!!"

Upon hearing this, Tashigi instantly perked up. If there was one sword that held the most special place in Tashigi's heart, it would definitely be Rokumei Kotetsu!

After all, that's Gawain's sword!!!

And...

Tashigi quickly pressed Zephyr for answers.

"Wait, Professor Zephyr, can Lord Gawain change his sword now?!"

"Of course, Little Gawain's height has grown to 2.35 meters, which makes Rokumei Kotetsu seem a bit short."

Although it was a sword given to Little Gawain by Momousagi, eliminating and surpassing one's original sword is a process of a swordsman becoming stronger!

Gawain's strength is now enough to make him a contender for the Supreme Grade Sword!

If he can continue to improve, then once we return to the Grand Line, or even enter the New World, we can go to Wano Country or the Artisan Kingdom to find a legendary swordsmith and forge a Gawain Supreme Grade Sword that is more suitable for Gawain and has his own style!!!

At this point, even Zephyr couldn't help but show a look of anticipation. While looking forward to it, Zephyr glanced at Gawain, who was exchanging blows with Rayleigh.

As he watched, Zephyr said expectantly.

"I really wonder what name Gawain will give his Supreme Grade Sword?"

Newgate's Murakumogiri represents determination, Kaido's Hassaikai represent restraint, Mihawk's Black Blade represents hope, Gion's Konpira represents ambition, and Roger's Ace represents understanding and comprehensiveness.

As for Shanks 'Griffin Gryphon, well, that's something I really don't understand.

Why did that Red-Haired Shanks guy name his sword after the Griffin Gryphon?

At this point, Zephyr hesitated deeply. He didn't understand the significance of Gryphon Griffin, nor did he understand Shanks.

Gawain, on the other hand, managed to parry Rayleigh's attack, then turned and yelled at Zephyr.

"Haha, Grandpa Zephyr is stumped, isn't he? Well then, let me tell you!"

Shanks 'Griffin Gryphon represents the reshaping and revitalization of tradition and family; the Griffin is his family crest!

"Oh???"

Upon hearing this, Zephyr couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

"So Shanks is also from a family? That's strange, why haven't I heard of his family before?"

That kid must have been in Roger's pirate crew for a long time, so which sea noble is he from, the South Blue, or some family from the Grand Line or the New World?"

After saying that, Zephyr looked at Gawain curiously.

Looking at the curious Zephyr, Gawain suddenly burst into laughter, responding to Gawain as he Zephyr.

"Grandpa, there's nothing to say about Shanks' family. No matter what, they can't be as powerful as my family, hahahaha!!!"

"Hmm, that's true, then it doesn't matter."

As long as they're not Celestial Dragon, haha, they're all dirty pirates we'll defeat sooner or later anyway!!!

Zephyr laughed in response to Gawain's words, then kicked the lazy Usopp away while continuing to ask Gawain.

"By the way, Little Gawain, have you thought about what to name your knife?"

You won't keep using the Rokumei Kotetsu forever, right? That sword is becoming more and more like a short sword to you!

"Yes, indeed!"

Gawain responded from afar, Rokumei Kotetsu he held in his hand, indeed increasingly resembled a short sword.

As for the name of the Supreme Grade Sword he plans to forge in the future...

Gawain pondered for a moment, then casually shook his head.

"As for the name of the sword, I have a rough idea. If possible, it should be called Tai'a!"

"With the pearl of the bright moon hanging down, and the sword of Tai'a at my side, my sword belongs to none other than Tai'a! Hahaha!!!"

Amidst the loud laughter, Gawain gripped the Rokumei Kotetsu in his right hand and slashed fiercely at Rayleigh's head.

Facing Gawain's sword aura, Rayleigh narrowed his eyes slightly, and unparalleled Conqueror's Haki instantly permeated his sword!

Boom!!!

After the violent collision, at least 90% of the people on the Dark Bird Ship were immediately stunned, while Rayleigh was pushed back more than 30 meters after colliding with Gawain!

Gawain also retreated more than ten meters, and saw him holding the Rokumei Kotetsu, looking at his hand holding the sword with a face full of surprise.

On the other side, after regaining his footing, Rayleigh was so angry that his beard almost stood on end!

"Boy, are you trying to kill me? Did you break through your limits with that move? It's starting to resemble something monstrous!!!"

"Haha, indeed, the battle with the Shiki did allow me to break through a little bit. Although the Shiki is old and weak, he ultimately lives up to his legendary name!"

Gawain laughed and explained, then happily savored the feeling of his sword strike.

Just now, he actually unleashed an unavoidable sword strike while chatting and laughing!

Such swordsmanship has already subtly surpassed the level of a great swordsman, approaching the Gion who has not yet reached his peak, and even slightly approaching the level of Mihawk, who is famous for his swordsmanship!

Before his death, Shiki ultimately improved Gawain's swordsmanship by a small amount!

Hearing Gawain's words, even Gion came over in surprise.

"Can you still unleash that sword strike just now, sir?"

Gion looked at Gawain with surprise and anticipation, then picked up Konpira and made a menacing gesture towards Gawain.

"Come on, sir, this time I'll give you some pointers. Let's try to record the level we just reached as your muscle habits!"

Grandpa Rayleigh is getting old after all; he was already struggling to withstand that move. Let's have a proper spar instead!

As soon as she finished speaking, Gion snatched Gawain from Rayleigh's hands. The clash between their swords made Zoro lose all interest in training.

That was a clash of swordsmanship between legendary swordsmen, Zoro could not possibly miss such a clash. Including Zoro, everyone on the ship who was still awake looked towards Gawain.

Hancock, however, though she was also staring at Gawain, didn't seem particularly surprised.

While lazily lying in the water, Hancock kept muttering to herself.

"Hmm, another improvement in swordsmanship. Gawain's swordsmanship is improving so fast, why is that?"

Why isn't it an improvement on the Six Powers? Why isn't it called Seimei Kikan?

Could this be related to the fact that there were too many swordsmen on the ship?

Could it be that Gawain's swordsmanship received extensive training because there were so many swordsmen on the ship?

If that's the case, we need to quickly recruit some subordinates who are skilled in hand-to-hand combat for Gawain!

Without enough physical training subordinates to attract and hone Gawain Gawain, when will he finally master that damned Seimei Kikan?

In a few more years, I'm afraid I'll be old and faded by then!!!

With that thought in mind, Hancock eagerly sank into the water, not wanting anyone other than Gawain to see her blushing.

About five seconds later, a series of bubbles caught Shirahoshi's attention.

That's it, let's move on.

Shirahoshi pulled Hancock, who was so happy she was almost drowning, out of the water.

While Hancock was blissfully overwhelmed with happiness, Bepo and the others, led by Kaya, arrived at their future room.

Seeing the tidy room and the luxurious, warm decor, Bepo's eyes immediately lit up!

Kaya was still smiling and introducing things nearby.

"These are the rooms the adults have arranged for you. Believe me, they are all excellent rooms."

Mr. Franky's hobbies are hard to describe, but his aesthetic sense shines through when he's designing the cabin!

As for you, you can tell me any normal needs you have, whether it's training or diet.

I will do my best to meet your training and living needs.

"Huh? Really?!"

Upon hearing Kaya's words, Bepo was completely shocked. He immediately looked at Kaya with great anticipation and said...

Can all requests be fulfilled?

"Wait... are there any mother bears?!"

"No, you can't make inappropriate requests, even if you're a bear!!!"

"Private Marseille... Waaah."
