The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

"Luffy, do you understand your rubber fruit?"

"I never agree with the idea that the Devil Fruit is rejected by the sea. The Devil Fruit is the most fundamental power in this world. Instead of studying the Devil Fruit properly, people take some crooked paths and use the three-color domineering to win. I don't know who led them astray."

Buggy the Clown's preaching on the light curtain made the audience think about their own problems in their hearts, especially those who did not have strong fruit abilities, but chose to embark on the path of honing their domineering aura. Did they really go astray?

Katakuri, who was on Cake Island, was even more confused. Was it just a waste of time that he had been training his armament Haki and observation Haki for so many years?

Rayleigh in the light curtain was the first to excuse his captain, "Roger has nothing to do with this. When I was Roger's deputy and sailed the sea, the three-color domineering was already the mainstream in that era, and the devil fruit was just an auxiliary means for the strong to fight."

When Luffy saw the fight between Rayleigh and Barrett, he saw a clear difference between those with devil fruits and those without. The latter became more and more powerful as the fight went on, while the former became weaker and weaker. However, it may also be because Rayleigh is too old.

"Rayleigh told me that we must learn Haki in the second half of the Grand Line. The powerful enemies we will face in the future are all masters of Haki. I am a rubber man and have rarely developed my devil fruit abilities in the past two years."

This young man with a straw hat, through the battles with giant beasts in the past two years, has developed Luffy's fourth gear, which is infused with armament Haki and has the properties of rubber. As for his moves, most of them are borrowed from the second and third gears. It is better to say that this is the third and fifth gear rather than the fourth gear.

He did not have more time to develop the ability of the devil fruit. Luffy spent all his time on practicing Haki and neglected his own rubber fruit. The qualitative changes between Gear 2 and Gear 3 did not appear in Gear 4. "I was lazy. During the Battle of Marineford, I was too impressed by Haki. I admired the power of Haki and forgot my own strength. I relied on the devil fruit all the way."

Luffy thought of the sad past again, tears welling up in his eyes. He lowered the brim of his hat to prevent more people from seeing his ugly appearance. Crying in front of outsiders was a sign of weakness, because this weakness caused him to lose his most important relative.

"Please teach me. I want to continue to become stronger. I want to become stronger and protect the people I care about. Please, Buggy."

This good man knelt in front of Buggy the clown and banged his head hard on the stone slab with a thud. He had knelt before for his companions, and this time Luffy wanted to become stronger and also to protect his companions. A man would not care about having gold under his knees. "Please, Buggy," he kowtowed to the clown again with a thud.

He did not use Armament Haki to protect his head, but simply used his body to fight against the hard stone slab and created a hole. Luffy wanted to become stronger, like Barrett, like Rayleigh.

"I came here specifically to find you. Let me and Rayleigh teach you for a few years. Your talent lies in developing fruit abilities. It would be a waste of time to focus too much on the training of domineering power."

After saying this, Buggy the Clown helped Luffy up. Seeing that the other party had a bloody head and a tough look on his face with gritting his teeth, he thought that if he didn't stop him, this stupid boy's skull would probably be broken.

"Take good care of your injuries today. Tomorrow I will ask Mingnu to take you to the Infinite City. You and Rayleigh should have a good rest."

After that, Buggy the Clown returned to his main seat, and Naruto played the pipa again. After the sound of the strings, Rayleigh and Luffy returned to the temporary camp on Beast Island.

There was a daze in the eyes of the two men. If it weren't for the Infinite City floating above their heads and the food and drinks in their stomachs, they might have thought that what they just experienced was a dream. The transformed image of Buggy the Clown left a deep impression on the two men.

Luffy was injured on his forehead and he sat next to Rayleigh, who bandaged his wound as usual. He did not regret his decision to kneel down just now. He thought it was a manifestation of manliness, not kneeling for himself but kneeling for the people he cared about.

"I have no objection to learning skills from Buggy, but I have to remind you that I can't figure out Buggy's transformation. In short, don't get too involved with him. You have received his favor today, but you will have to pay a higher price in the future. You must be mentally prepared, Luffy." Rayleigh's bandaging technique is relatively sophisticated. After all, an old man has taken care of Luffy for two years, and he has become familiar with it. Many of the skills that he had forgotten have been picked up by him.

Luffy did not open his eyes from beginning to end. He listened to Rayleigh's words. He could not think of what Buggy the Clown wanted him to get from him for the time being. Paying a huge price would be a matter for the future.

After a night, Luffy and Rayleigh had a good rest. They heard the pipa summons from Naruto and entered the Infinite City again. The internal layout of this mobile city was different from the last time they entered.

If the last layout was more like an ancient banquet hall, this time it was more like a large classroom. In addition to Luffy and Rayleigh, the students in this classroom also included a hot and sexy girl.

"Bucky, how come your breasts have grown so big in just one day?"

"Are you blind? I'm Alberta, what are you looking at, Straw Hat Boy?"

This woman also has clown makeup on her face. Luffy has face blindness and can only identify who is who by face. Sometimes he makes a lot of jokes. He mistakes Kaku, who also has a long nose, for Usopp and a skeleton for Nami. His perception of Buggy's image is clown makeup.

"Albeta? Who is Alberta? This name sounds familiar."

Harley Quinn, holding a mace, now wishes she could hit Luffy on the head to help him recall his past. If the Straw Hat Boy had not been moved to the ship by Alberta's crew, it is very likely that his journey as a pirate would have ended in the East China Sea.

Alberta looked at Luffy's thoughtful expression and didn't expect him to remember her. She held her head and said speechlessly: "Lord Buggy will talk about his understanding of devil fruits in a while. Just shut up then. If you dare to disturb him, be careful of the stick in my hand."

The mace was dangling in front of him. Luffy nodded tactfully, covered his mouth with both hands, and found a place to sit down.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting," Bucky's voice came from behind the crowd. He even changed his clothes specially for this day.

He wore a red suit with a yellow lining. His blue hair was dyed dark green. His face was painted with classic clown makeup, with the remaining skin on his face painted pale, making the color contrast even stronger.

The makeup makes Bucky’s temperament even crazier, more evil and more unfathomable. It is said that appearance reflects the heart. Is this the real him?
