Seeing how far they had come, Alex decided to test them, so he approached them. The monstrous trio of the crew, seeing him approaching, suspended their training and became alert.
Alex could only laugh ironically at the attitude of these three, because only when they saw him approaching did they put themselves on guard when yesterday they slept without worrying about what he might do.
That's good. I see you have made good progress, how about a training battle? (Alex)
The three were surprised by Alex's words, but quickly smiled and got into a battle stance. Luffy being the most impatient, quickly lunged forward with a punch after gaining momentum by stretching out his arm.
However, Alex dodged it with relative ease, only to be met with Sanji's strong kick. Seeing that he could not dodge it, Alex raised his arm and blocked his attack.
Standing still, Zoro stepped forward and swung one of his swords with great murderous intent, it was obvious that he did not intend to hold back and if he could kill Alex it would be better, but Alex did not flinch, in fact, he smiled and raised his leg and shot a blade of light.
Rankyaku. (Alex)
Zoro was surprised to see the sharp blade flying towards him and without being careless, he took out his other two swords and blocked the attack, but not before flying several meters away.
Luffy and Sanji were surprised by Alex's attack and stepped back on alert because they knew it was dangerous. As if they could read each other's minds, they both began to prepare for the new techniques they had been practicing.
Diable Jamble. (Sanji)
Second Gear. (Luffy)
After announcing their attacks, they went on the attack. Alex was much more careful now, as their strength had skyrocketed and although it would be easy to overpower them with Haki, he decided to take them on with Rokushiki alone.
He quickly took to the sky with the Geppo and stepping on the sky he moved at great speed until he positioned himself behind Sanji, but before he could hit him, Luffy's fast fist flew past and forced Alex to retreat.
Their teamwork was amazing, as Zoro who had recovered, appeared in front of him and slashed with his three swords without giving Alex a chance to dodge and was forced to use Tekkai.
Zoro's eyes almost popped out as Alex received his attack without taking any damage and before he could attack again, Alex disappeared. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji continued to attack Alex until his energy ran out.
The three of them were panting heavily as they lay exhausted on the ground. Alex looked at them with a somewhat smug smile and said to them.
Well, you have improved, but you can only maintain these techniques for 15 minutes, that's not enough, you must train more. (Alex)
A bit annoyed the three of them got up and started training again. They were not only annoyed by Alex's words but by the fact that even with their combined strength they had not been able to land a single blow on Alex.
As Alex watched them return to their training, he heard Jarvis' voice telling him that the weapons had finished being made and that he could pick them up at any time.
Alex was pleased with the news but did not go in to get them. When he entered the portable lab the cube representing the lab was exposed and he didn't want Luffy and the others to see it, so he decided to go in at night when everyone was asleep.
The day went smoothly until it got dark and everyone went to sleep. Alex entered the lab and was again greeted by Jarvis' cordial greeting.
Welcome back Mr. Alex. (Jarvis)
Hello Jarvis. Tell me, how are the weapons? (Alex)
Everything went smoothly. I have already performed tests and simulations and the weapons meet all the projected specifications. (Jarvis)
Alex smiled when he heard that and quickly picked up the weapons he had made. For Nami it was a small cylinder about 30 centimeters long and about 5 centimeters in diameter made of Vibranium.
While for Usopp it was two Magnum revolvers, also made of Vibranium. Just by looking at these three weapons, Alex was reluctant to hand them over, as he thought they were magnificent, but it was only a passing thought.
The night passed and morning came, but a storm was raging on the small ship. Alex immediately recognized the situation because, in the original work, there was a similar storm as they were about to enter the Grand Line.
As he stepped out onto the deck of the ship, he could see Nami giving orders and within seconds they took the updraft that would take them to the Grand Line. Alex didn't interrupt, even as they took their oath over the barrel which was an iconic scene.
Although a bit bumpy, they made it up the mountain, and on their descent, everything was similar to what had happened in the original work. A large whale was waiting for them at the foot of the mountain, then Luffy fired the cannon and slowed down the ship's momentum avoiding crashing.
However, the Going Merry's head suffered the consequences and Luffy's stupidity hit the whale's eye, causing it to swallow them. Although Alex knew they would not be harmed by being swallowed by the whale, he did not participate in the event and before they were swallowed he used his Geppo to flee.
Alex landed on the twin headlands, watching as the ship was swallowed, amidst the curses of the crew for abandoning them. Alex just laughed at them and decided to wait them out.
As he waited he could see Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday arrive, but still, he did not interrupt the plot. He knew that these two were little shrimp that couldn't stand up to Luffy and the others.
Not to mention that they were now much stronger, only tragedy awaited them when facing them. After a nap of a couple of hours, Luffy and his friends reappeared on the surface.
They were accompanied by Crocus and the pair of whalers who were badly wounded and tied up as prisoners. Alex got up to greet them but was greeted by a heavy blow to the head from Nami.
FUCKING BASTARD WHY YOU DIDN'T SAVE US!!!! (Nami)
Alex could easily dodge Nami's blow, but he decided not to because he felt he deserved it. Although Alex knew that nothing would happen to them, they didn't know that, so the scare they went through was not small, at least for Nami and Usopp.
Obviously, Alex would not allow anyone else besides Nami to claim him. Only beauties had that privilege, but he didn't say it out loud. After calming Nami's tantrum, Alex and the others heard Laboon's story from Crocus' mouth.
Then the expected fight between Luffy and Laboon broke out. Alex watched everything as a spectator without wanting to get involved. Alex since he came to this world had no intention of going to the last island or anything like that, he just wanted to enjoy this world.
In short, he wanted to be an adventurer. To travel the world and experience its mysteries and although he was intrigued to know the story that Oda wanted to tell, he knew that he didn't have to be the one to reveal it, he would just go with the flow.
WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR
Dear readers I'm sorry I didn't post last weekend, but between my other novel and work it was difficult. This is a fanfic I write for fun, but not my priority, so I apologize in advance if something like this happens again.
