[OP Marine Officer Luffy] Chapter 416- 420

Chapter 416 Everything for the People!

For a moment, the children were very excited and wanted everyone to stand up and answer Luffy's questions.

However, time is limited and these children do not have a deep enough understanding of justice.

Apart from fighting pirates, catching criminals and helping others, there is nothing else to say.

Luffy clapped his hands to quiet everyone down.

“You have said a lot, and these are representatives of justice.

This is also the first lesson I will teach you.

There are many kinds of justice, and everyone pursues their own kind of justice.

But I wants to remind you that no matter when and where you are, you will encounter many hardships in your future.

Please remember who gave you justice “

Luffy said, pointing to the seagull symbol on the blackboard.

"Justice does not come from the Marine."

Then he pointed at himself.

"Nor from myself."

Finally, he pointed at the children who were looking at him intently with their eyes wide open.

"Nor from yourselves."

"Justice comes from the family and friends you care about, your husband, your children and your loved ones.

From those you protect, and all those who need protection.

Only with them can there be a foundation for justice.

Justice is not the justice of the Marine, nor is it justice for you and me.

It is the justice of the people and the justice of the world!

Rather than saying that everything is for justice, it is better to say that everything is for the people.

For every weak person who needs help!"

This class brought great shock to all the children. Maybe at their age, they still couldn't understand what Luffy said. But Luffy believed that this class left a deep impression on them.

After years, they might have become high-ranking Marine officers.

But as long as they can still remember the few words he said today, his teaching will not be in vain.

The 40-minute class ended. After bidding farewell to the children who were still in a daze, Luffy returned to the teachers' office.

At this time, the teachers of theory subjects also came back one after another.

Most of these people were non-commissioned officers and lieutenant officers selected by Luffy from his subordinates.

Most of them are the people who stayed with Darius to garrison Wano Country and have now joined the G-66 branch.

They were originally officers of the headquarters, and most of them had attended the headquarters' Marine school.

It is definitely more than enough for them to teach these children.

In addition, Luffy asked his teacher Zephyr for two school-level instructors from the headquarters.

There are two officers, one male and one female. The male is in charge of the practical combat department and is Luffy's assistant.

The woman is in charge of the theory class, and she is also the main teacher for class 2 and beyond.

"Well, from now on these children will be handed over to you.

Whether it is Class 2 or any other class, being selected from all over the world is proof of their talent.

These children are the future of the Marine and the future of our G-66 branch.

Train them well, raise them well and don't disappoint me and the Fleet Admiral's expectations. "

The theory teachers, led by the female school officer, all responded in unison.

Luffy didn't intend to make a long speech. After saying this, he encouraged everyone and left.

After leaving the teaching building, Luffy turned a corner and came to the playground next door.

Like the students in the theory subject, the children who had just finished running for a class were now lying on the ground with their legs spread out to rest.

However, as the bell for class rang, the children who had not yet recovered had to get up and continue their exercise...

Yamato, the chief instructor, patrolled among the children with a mace in hand.

She stared at everyone's movements with sharp eyes, and if anyone got up a little slower, she would hit them with a mace.

Of course, she knows her limits and would never hit a student.

But even so, seeing a mace taller than themselves sweeping towards them, the children were still frightened and quickly turned over and climbed up.

Bang!

They watched the mace fall to the ground, leaving a large hole where he had been lying.

The students immediately broke out in sweat and began to line up as the instructor asked.

The same thing happened to the rest of the students. Under the threat of maces, they quickly lined up and quickly completed the assembly.

Like Luffy, the class that Yamato is in charge of is also a so-called elite class.

The number of students who entered the class at the age of 15, which was just the recruitment age, was more than that of the next class, with a total of 40 people.

Some of these children have been exposed to sword training at home since childhood, and some are born with big bodies and good physiques, and can run, jump, resist and fight.

That is, the type that has a certain foundation and can accept more rigorous training.

"Everyone, turn right, do 300 frog jumps, ready to go!"

At Yamato's command, the students immediately started to sing the song of mourning.

At this point, Yamato has completely been equated with the devil in their minds.

Especially since she had a pair of horns on her head, she looked exactly like the evil spirit in the legend.!

Chapter 417: A Qualified Instructor and a Well-Deserved Break

Yamato grew even more excited as she listened to the students’ complaints.

"Yes! That’s the spirit!" she cheered.

As expected, they were still children—unlike those stubborn adults who blindly followed orders without a single protest!

"Hurry up! Move it! The last five will be fined with an extra 100 reps—jump faster!"

Under her strict commands, the students reluctantly put their hands behind their backs, squatted down, and started frog jumping.

Even though they had some basic training, these exercises pushed their endurance to the limit.

Especially with an "evil ghost" looming behind them, they had no choice but to jump forward with all their might.

No one wanted to be the slowest—they feared being trampled by the relentless instructor chasing them from behind.

By the time they completed the grueling 300 frog jumps, their legs felt like jelly.

Just as they thought they could finally breathe, Yamato’s devilish voice rang in their ears again.

"Hurry up! Get ready for 500 push-ups! When your legs are tired, train your arms. When your arms give out, switch to sit-ups! Once you're all exhausted, we’ll move on to combat training!

Everyone will fight me together. Whoever faints will pass and can eat lunch.

Those who don’t? Keep training!"

Hearing this cruel training regimen, the students wailed in despair. Some even considered slapping themselves a few times just to faint on the spot.

Was this even training fit for humans? Their instructor had to be a demon!

Meanwhile, Luffy quietly observed from a distance without making his presence known.

Watching these kids struggle, he couldn’t help but reminisce about his own days at Marine Headquarters.

Back then, he was pushed to the brink by Zephyr’s merciless training. The worst part? Zephyr knew how durable he was, so his regimen was several times harder than anyone else’s.

But thanks to Zephyr’s strict discipline, Luffy had built an unshakable foundation.

His strength skyrocketed, and his mastery of Armament Haki reached near perfection.

Now, seeing Yamato in action—strict yet passionate—he nodded in approval.

"This girl has real talent as an instructor. If she learns from Teacher Zephyr in the future, she might become just like him, training students all over the world."

Just as Luffy was about to leave, an irritated voice called out.

"Oi! Don’t ignore me! I’m your superior, you know? Shouldn’t you at least greet me?"

Luffy glanced back at the children one last time before turning away.

They were promising, but they were still seedlings—they needed time to grow.

His job was to provide them with the best environment to flourish, to shield them from storms until they could stand on their own.

When Luffy returned to the base, he noticed that Ain, Hina, Olivia, and Koala were nowhere near their usual duties.

Instead, they had all gathered on the 5th floor, chatting and applying facial masks together.

It wasn’t surprising—they had been exhausted from the recent recruitment efforts.

Now that things had settled down, they finally had time to unwind.

Luffy understood their exhaustion; he himself had been drained from all the work lately.

Maybe it was time for him to take a break too.

With that thought, he shoved aside his official duties and made his way to the 5th floor, humming a carefree tune.

As soon as he stepped into the room, familiar sounds echoed through the hall.

At first, it sounded like a fight.

But upon closer listening, it was clear—it was just a game.

Luffy sighed.

This was supposed to be a lounge, a space for tea, conversations, and welcoming guests.

Yet Hancock and Olivia had turned it into a Gaming room.

Several women sat comfortably on the sofas, each with a large screen in front of them, fully immersed in their games.

For those who didn’t feel like playing, there was even a wall-mounted screen that displayed other entertainment—like a movie, complete with snacks and drinks.

Luffy’s arrival barely caught anyone’s attention.

Kalifa and Nami glanced at him before quickly returning to their games.

Hina, gripping her controller, frantically pressed buttons—only to be obliterated in seconds by a monster’s flawless combo.

Frustrated, she tossed the controller aside, officially out of the game.

Lighting a cigarette, she finally turned to Luffy and greeted him lazily.

"Oh hey, it’s the Vice Admiral. You’re back~

What’s up, boss? You here to pay us? Hina needs money for new clothes."

Luffy blinked, confused.

"Eh? Pay you? Didn’t you all get your salaries at the beginning of the month?"

Hina’s expression darkened. Keeping her cigarette in her mouth, she pulled out a calculator from somewhere and started punching in numbers.

Chapter 418: Living Off a Woman’s Wealth

"Since you announced the recruitment, Hina has been working overtime."

Hina crossed her arms and took a deep drag from her cigarette.

"According to standard calculations, overtime pay is ten times the regular salary. So, you owe me at least 500,000 Berries!"

"Huh? 500,000?! How the hell did you come up with that number?"

Luffy was baffled.

"You trying to cheat us?"

Seeing that Luffy had no intention of admitting it, Hina’s expression turned dangerously cold.

Ain, Kujaku, Kalifa, Nami, and the others all turned to him with equally unsettling smiles.

If their black-hearted boss dared to delay their salaries, they wouldn’t hesitate to gang up on him and tear him apart.

"Ahem, uh… well, you see…"

Luffy glanced around nervously before sidling up to Olivia, who was busy fighting a boss with Hancock in their game. He lightly nudged her arm.

"Hey, Olivia, lend me some money~"

Olivia frowned, shook off his hand, and remained focused on her screen.

"No money."

Undeterred, Luffy nudged her again.

"Don't be so stingy! Just lend me 100 million… or maybe 200 million? I’ll pay you back when I have it!"

His interference was enough to throw off Olivia’s concentration, and in the next moment, her in-game character was mercilessly obliterated by a series of combo attacks from the boss.

With Olivia down, only Hancock remained alive on the battlefield.

Realizing this, Hancock immediately howled in frustration.

"Ugh! Hina! Olivia! I am never teaming up with you again!"

Hancock’s disgusted outburst darkened Olivia’s already sour mood.

She slowly turned her head and glared at the person responsible for her loss.

Luffy barely had time to react before she shoved a snack into his mouth as punishment.

Without even chewing, he swallowed it whole and shamelessly plopped himself down beside her.

Taking Olivia’s soft, jade-like hands into his own, he gently stroked her slender fingers and spoke with deep affection:

"Viya, ever since the founding of our company, I’ve noticed something.

You… you’re becoming more and more of a powerful woman.

A goddess who blends wisdom and beauty—if someone like you hadn’t appeared before me, I would’ve never known true admiration.

My love for you is as sincere as the bright moon chasing the scorching sun, as deep as a fish yearning for the vast sea. Just like that…"

As Luffy dramatically poured out his sweet nothings, all the women watching let out a collective "Oh~" in exaggerated amusement.

Only Olivia seemed to genuinely enjoy it. She cupped Luffy’s handsome face in her hands and planted a soft kiss on his lips.

"My dear, I love the way you talk. Money? That’s no problem at all.

Come to my room later, and we’ll discuss it further~"

Luffy’s eyes lit up with triumph.

Seizing the moment, he straightened up and declared loudly, "Overtime pay? No problem! I have plenty of money!

If anyone wants their payment, just come to my room tomorrow night, and we’ll—"

Before he could finish, four or five pillows came flying at him, cutting him off mid-sentence.

Nami crossed her arms and sneered, "Tch! You shameless bastard, trying to play both sides, huh? I swear, I’ll find something to castrate you later!"

Kalifa adjusted her glasses and smirked. "Luffy, you’re really no different from a gigolo now.

The only difference is that you’re bold enough to freeload off women with confidence!"

The rest of the group piled on their own criticisms, even Hancock, who was still bitter over her game loss.

The entire room erupted into a chaotic battlefield, with pillows, shoes, and fruit plates being launched in all directions.

Even those who had nothing to do with it were dragged into the fray, either actively or passively.

Click.

The sound of a door opening silenced the madness for a brief second.

Robin, dressed in silky black pajamas, casually strolled out of her room.

The moment she stepped through the doorway, a stray pillow smacked her right in the face.

She calmly pulled it away, a soft smile forming on her lips as she took in the lively scene before her.

"Oh my, it’s so lively in here. Are we holding some sort of special event? Count me in."

As she spoke, dozens of arms suddenly sprouted across the room, each picking up whatever was within reach—pillows, shoes, fruit, even game controllers—and flinging them at the others.

A coordinated, multi-directional assault rained down upon everyone.

Within moments, the entire group was overwhelmed.

One by one, they raised their hands in surrender, officially admitting defeat.

Luffy, buried under a mountain of pillows, clawed his way out and pouted.

"Robin, your ability is way too unfair! You alone are like an entire army!"

Hancock, now collapsed on the sofa in frustration, glared up at Robin.

"Tch! What’s there to be proud of?! If this were a real fight, I could beat you to tears with just one hand!"

Robin’s eyes gleamed mischievously as she covered her mouth with an exaggerated gasp.

"Oh my~ Didn’t I just defeat the infamous Seven Warlords of the Sea?

It seems the legendary Pirate Empress isn’t all that impressive after all."

"WHAT?!" Hancock shot up from the couch, fuming.

"You conniving little witch! Just wait—I’m going to teach you a lesson!"

Chapter 419: The Fastest Way to Court Death

Provoked by Robin’s taunt, Hancock immediately got up, ready to challenge her to a fight.

But before she could move, two arms suddenly sprouted from her waist and started tickling her most sensitive spots.

In an instant, Hancock’s proud and dignified demeanor shattered. She collapsed onto the sofa, her limbs flailing as uncontrollable laughter burst out of her mouth.

"Hahaha~ You bastard—hahaha~ I won’t forgive you, haha~!!"

Watching the once-mighty Pirate Empress rendered powerless in mere seconds, everyone present had black lines on their foreheads.

Hina sighed, covering her face in embarrassment.

"You’re a disgrace to all of us. How could you have such a weak spot?"

Koala, witnessing Hancock’s suffering, gulped and glanced warily at Robin, who was still smiling as if nothing had happened.

She shivered slightly, leaned closer to Nami, and whispered cautiously,

"See? Sister Robin is definitely the scariest among us.

Even Hancock doesn’t stand a chance—so what does that say about the rest of us?"

Nami nodded in agreement.

Before they could continue their hushed conversation, Robin’s voice suddenly chimed in.

"Koala, what are you whispering about?"

Koala froze like a deer caught in headlights, her body trembling. Without hesitation, she shrank behind Nami, trying to make herself as unnoticeable as possible.

After casting a brief warning glance at the now visibly terrified Koala, Robin finally released Hancock from her grasp.

She gracefully walked over to where Ain and Hina were seated, settling down beside them.

Ignoring the piercing glare from a certain Empress, she swept her gaze across the room and casually remarked,

"Everyone looks so relaxed… but did you all forget? Kaido has just formed an alliance with Big Mom.

Aren’t you even a little worried they might come knocking on our door?"

Her words instantly wiped away the playful atmosphere.

The women exchanged glances before gradually sitting up straight.

Luffy furrowed his brows and leaned back on the sofa, rubbing his chin in thought.

"I didn’t expect Kaido to go crawling to Whole Cake Island…

A stray dog who’s lost his territory still has the guts to seek out another Emperor?

This just proves how much he refuses to accept his defeat.

Even at the cost of his dignity, he’d rather seek an alliance than let this humiliation go unavenged."

Robin chuckled softly, and the teasing look on her face made Luffy want to pin her down and spank her for being so infuriating.

Feigning surprise, Robin smirked and said,

"Oh my, so you do have some thoughts in that head of yours, Vice Admiral. I assumed you were too busy expanding your harem to care about your own survival."

Luffy rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"What kind of image do you have of me? Just because I don’t look worried doesn’t mean I’m not taking precautions. I’ve already made preparations in secret—I’m not that reckless."

"Haha~"

Ain, the eldest among them, finally spoke up.

"So? What preparations have you made behind our backs? Care to share with the rest of us?"

Luffy nodded, then casually reached for the teapot, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, he took a slow sip before finally answering.

"I asked the Fleet Admiral for reinforcements."

The room fell into silence.

Kalifa blinked. "…That’s it?"

Luffy set his teacup down, shrugged, and spread his hands nonchalantly.

"What else? Isn’t it enough to call for backup from headquarters?

The rest is up to the Fleet Admiral to decide."

Another moment of silence.

Then—

"THAT’S IT?!"

Nami’s frustrated scream shattered the quiet. She lunged forward, wrapped her arms around Luffy’s neck from behind, and shook him violently.

"You mean to tell me you just tossed our lives into headquarters' hands and called it a day?!

Bastard! Where’s your sense of responsibility?! Our lives and wealth are in your hands!!!"

As Nami yelled in his ear, Luffy turned his head slightly and suddenly felt something soft press against the back of his head.

Unable to resist, he clicked his tongue and made a suicidal remark.

"Nami… you still haven’t grown much. You’re way too flat."

Nami: "…#&%$@#!!!"

"You bastard! You dare say that to my face?!"

Fury erupted inside Nami as she immediately began pummeling Luffy with her fists, unleashing all her pent-up rage.

At 15 years old, she had already started developing rapidly, but compared to the other women in the room—Olivia, Hancock, Hina—she was still lagging far behind.

And that was exactly why she hated people mentioning it.

Luffy, on the other hand, remained completely unfazed by her assault.

Instead, he grinned and added fuel to the fire.

"It’s fine, small ones are cute too. I like them just as much~"

Nami: "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

At that moment, Nami seemed to undergo a terrifying transformation—her hair stood on end, and a dark, ominous aura began emanating from her entire body.

In an instant, the room plunged into chaos once more.

Chapter 420: An Unconventional Awakening of Armament Haki

"Don't be mad. Apples have their charm, and watermelons have their fun.

Besides, people eat watermelon all the time, but apples? They're rarer—so sometimes, a change in taste is refreshing.”

Snap!

Hina smacked her forehead and shook her head in disbelief.

"This idiot is digging his own grave."

Ain and Robin sighed in unison.

As expected, Nami completely exploded. A fierce black energy surged around her as her anger reached its peak.

Gathering all her strength, she clenched her delicate fist and swung it straight at Luffy’s face.

Luffy, still grinning, didn't take her attack seriously at all.

In fact, he was laughing to himself.

"Ha! Like that tiny fist can do anything to me? Stop joking!"

Feeling smug, he decided to show off.

"Time to flex my ultimate move—Iron Body!"

Standing firm, he activated Tekkai (Iron Body), intending to absorb the impact without budging an inch.

Ain and Kalifa, both masters of the Rokushiki (Six Powers), immediately saw through his trick and cursed him in their hearts.

"Seriously? He’s actually using Tekkai against Nami? What a shameless bastard!"

While Luffy was gloating and the others were either rolling their eyes or silently calling him pathetic—

Something unexpected happened.

Nami's petite fist suddenly became coated in an invisible black layer.

Hancock, Kalifa, Hina, and the others widened their eyes in shock.

But Luffy, completely unaware, casually pointed to his left cheek and mocked,

"Come on, come on, hit me right here! Give it your best shot!"

The moment the words left his mouth—

BOOM!!!

A deafening bang echoed through the room.

Luffy’s smirk instantly vanished as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His body shot into the air like a rocket, spinning an absurd 3,600 degrees before smashing headfirst into the wall.

His entire upper body became embedded in it, while his limp limbs dangled helplessly outside.

The room fell into stunned silence.

Koala's back was drenched in cold sweat as she clutched her face in sheer terror.

"W-Wait… was that… Armament Haki?!"

Even the usually composed Ain, Hancock, Hina, Kalifa, and Kujaku were completely frozen.

Olivia and Robin, who didn’t specialize in Haki, also had dumbfounded expressions, as if they had just seen a ghost.

In the New World, countless people wielded Haki—it was almost a necessity.

But that didn’t mean everyone could awaken it.

Even among experienced warriors, unlocking Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) was no easy feat.

Those who did were often considered masters.

Even within the Four Emperors' crews, a person with Armament Haki could easily qualify as a mid-tier officer or serve as a right-hand to a high-ranking one.

And yet…

The timid, greedy, hot-tempered, flat-chested Nami had just awakened Armament Haki.

And of all things—she awakened it because Luffy pissed her off!

Not only that, but she had knocked him out in a single punch.

The girls couldn’t decide whether to be more shocked by Nami’s breakthrough… or the sheer absurdity of Luffy’s misfortune.

"Bastard Luffy! I’M GONNA KILL YOU! I’M GONNA KILL YOU!!!"

Fueled by newfound power and rage, Nami charged toward Luffy, still embedded in the wall.

Koala and Kalifa paled and immediately tackled her, holding her back with all their might.

After a long moment of silence, Luffy finally stirred.

With a groan, he braced himself against the wall and yanked his head out.

Standing there in a daze, he gingerly touched his swollen cheek, unable to process what had just happened.

From the start, he had never taken Nami’s attack seriously.

He hadn’t even tried to dodge—he’d just let it happen.

And yet…

"What the hell just happened?!"

Realizing he had been obliterated by a punch he considered harmless, Luffy gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"You piece of trash! When I become a Marine Admiral, I swear I’m gonna delete that useless Tekkai technique from the Six Powers!!!"

Kalifa snapped, "Oi! Don’t just blame Tekkai, you dumbass!"

Koala, still struggling to hold Nami back, yelled, "What are you idiots doing?! Help me! I can't hold her much longer!"

Luffy immediately switched to survival mode.

"Nami, my dear! Please forgive me! Madam!"

The girls: "…"

After over ten minutes of chaos, Nami finally calmed down—though she was still fuming.

Luffy, now with a slightly less swollen face, pulled her into a hug and decided to shift back to serious matters.

"Ahem~ Now, where were we before all this?"

"Oh, right. I said I’d ask headquarters for reinforcements."

Nami, still curled up in his arms, snorted coldly and twisted slightly.

"Hmph! What if headquarters doesn’t send backup?

Are we just going to sit around and do nothing? Just watch everything unfold?!"
