But when he thought about it again, he felt it was a bit ridiculous. He was only twenty-nine years old now, and he was still in his prime of youth and strength. As for being eliminated by the times and being a young man, he himself was obviously still a young man.

The age difference between him and Luffy was only about ten years, so there was no such thing as that.

He, who was supposed to be at his strongest, was actually suppressed by three teenagers who were still in their infancy.

This is not an eradication at all.

There is only one real reason. His strength has stagnated, which is why he was suppressed by a young man who was more than ten years younger than him.

This is the truth.

Smoker's face turned surprisingly ugly when he realized this.

He had never realized this before, preferring to settle down in Rogge Town on the East China Sea, where he conscientiously performed his duties as a navy and protected the tranquility here.

As a Marine, he had a clear conscience and was proud of it.

But this sense of pride made him ignore one problem, that is, the pirates in the East China Sea were too weak.

It's so weak that it poses no challenge to him at all.

And without challenge, there is no progress.

He has lived in this comfortable environment for so long that his strength after a few years has not changed at all from a few years ago. No, his physical skills have deteriorated.

Since the pirates here can easily catch them through their abilities, there is no need for him to hone his physical skills to become stronger.

Over time, use it or lose it.

The development of abilities has become more and more proficient, but the physical skills have become much weaker.

The irony is that his time in the headquarters was the peak of his physical skills.

And this has also caused a more serious consequence, that is, he has not yet awakened and mastered his domineering energy!

This kind of ability that everyone in the New World has mastered, Smoker still hasn't mastered it a few years after he came to Donghai.

Lacking enough challenges and strong opponents, and lacking the opportunity to challenge himself to break through his limits, he has been standing still.

In the past few years, their life in the East China Sea had ruined him who should have been in the golden period of rapid growth in strength.

Otherwise, if Smoker can now master the Armed Color and Wisdom Color Haki, let alone Luffy and the three of them attacking, even if the three of them come again, they will not be his opponents.

The weapon color allows him to put a layer of armor on his weak points to avoid being restrained by the weak points and kill him instantly, and it can also strengthen his attacks, and a mere piece of iron is not enough to resist.

The sight color allows him to clearly see the enemy's attack method. Even if Luffy and the three of them attack at the same time, he will not be overwhelmed.

In this way, you can become invincible.

Smoker suddenly remembered what Teacher Zefa once said to them.

Don't rely too much on your fruit abilities. Your own strength is the real strength.

Teacher Zefa had warned him before, but he didn't take it to heart, which was why he was in his current situation.

He has lived in the stable environment of the East China Sea for too long, so long that he has forgotten what danger feels like.

It lasted so long that his body became rusty.

It took so long that he forgot that his own strength was what he relied on as a navy.

This matter was taught to him by the three teenagers in front of him.

He has never been invincible, he just hasn't encountered a strong opponent here.

Now he is not even as good as Sakaski's three teenage disciples.

This is the real situation.

If he hadn't met them today, I'm afraid he would have continued like this, immersed in this"powerful" illusion, unable to extricate himself.

There are two roads before Smoker now.

One is to continue to stay in Rogge Town. Due to the lack of strong enemies, he will not experience too much training in the future, and his natural strength will not increase much, and he will also grow older and stronger. After the golden period passed, he became mediocre and became an ordinary branch colonel. The only characteristic was that he was a branch colonel who had eaten a natural devil fruit.

Perhaps a few years later, more than ten years later, Smoker looked back and realized that all of his contemporaries had become generals of his headquarters, equipped with all the necessary equipment, knowledge and knowledge.

Every day he competes with pirates worth hundreds of millions of beli on the Grand Line.

The other is to leave this stable environment and go to the bloody battlefield of the Grand Line. (If you want to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Hone yourself in battle, improve your strength, master skills, and break through yourself.

Become a true strongman in the navy.

To capture the most powerful pirates in the world.

The former cannot be said to be bad, most navies are the former, and it is precisely because of these navies who are willing to be ordinary and conscientious that they have maintained peace in most places in the world.

The power is small, but the use is great.

But Smoker could be the latter, and he always thought he was the latter.

As an elite of the headquarters, Smoker, who was trained as an elite from the beginning, never thought that he would be an ordinary navy.

However, the reality told him that if he continued to stay here, he would become an ordinary navy, not even comparable to the young men in his own department.

This was what hit him the hardest.

We can't stay here any longer... Smoker thought.

He is only twenty-nine years old. His strength cannot stay at twenty-nine years old. He can still become stronger.

How could he live a life of retirement so early when he was still so young?

What's more, he still has things he wants to do.

Smoker remembered the conversation he had with Sakaski just now, about Teacher Zefa.

At some point in the future of 417, the conflict between Teacher Zefa and Wulaoxing will break out. If he wants to participate in resolving this conflict and help his teacher, then strength is indispensable.

Without strength, nothing can be accomplished.

Now he can't even defeat the teenagers in his department, let alone participate in such a thing.

If you want to do it, you have to change.

And with his current strength, he has no face to see Teacher Zefa.

If Teacher Zefa discovers his current strength, he will probably be so angry that he will scold him... Smoker thought with a wry smile on his face.

Seeing that there was no objection from both sides, Sakaski continued:"Then that's it, Smoker, thank you for taking the time to help me train these boys. I owe you a favor. Is there anything you can ask for

? You can always tell me if you want to help."

After Sakaski finished speaking, he looked at Luffy and the others,"You must learn from the experience of this battle. If you encounter people with natural abilities in the future, this battle will be beneficial to you. There is good inspiration.

This time we are fighting with our own people. Colonel Smogg was merciful, so you were not injured. If you encounter an enemy and you are attacked, it will not be so easy to escape. In the future, there will be people with natural abilities. Users with other Devil Fruit abilities must be careful when dealing with them. Victory or defeat can only happen in a split second."
