Chapter 1275

Su Xiao: "I'm a beautiful girl!!! You bastards, and Luffy too—next time, I'll make you pay!"

Luffy: "Huh? Did I say something wrong? I'm out!"

Pirate World.

A child sat on the beach, eyes shrewd, lips slightly curled.

He was Luffy.

One Piece is a shonen manga.

But beneath the hot-blooded fervor lies bloodshed and slaughter.

From the protagonist's perspective, this world is full of infinite possibilities, brimming with thrilling adventures.

But if you shift perspectives—view it through the eyes of an ordinary civilian—you'll find this world is brutally harsh.

The Celestial Dragons tower above, treating all others as pigs and dogs; pirates roam freely, burning, killing, looting.

Civilians see almost no hope, living always in darkness.

Under such conditions, children cannot be innocent, and adults cannot be kind.

Living in this world, Luffy could not be an exception.

He is not as naive as children in ordinary worlds; instead, he is mischievous, even slick.

"Cultivate? I wonder how it compares to the Six Powers and Haki from that so-called manga?"

Curious, Luffy began browsing in Shangcheng.

"The Five Phases Emperor Scripture can manifest many divine beast forms. This one's perfect—I can claim I'm a Zoan Devil Fruit user. Then, maybe I can fool a lot of people!"

After selecting the scripture and choosing an elixir, Luffy began to cultivate.

In just half a day, when Luffy finished his cultivation, a tremendous force already lay latent within his body.

"Go!"

With a flick of his small hand, a massive phoenix shot forth and landed thousands of meters away.

With a boom, the sea surged into waves thousands of meters high, then vaporized.

The sky and earth were filled with steam, white mist spreading everywhere—terrible, many creatures instantly cooked or reduced to charred ash.

This scene was like the end of the world.

"So powerful!" Luffy was stunned. "Is this just true qi level?!"
