To be honest, Kyle was also surprised by the sheer speed of Luffy's strength improvent.
In the initial years, due to age limitations, Luffy's rate of improvent wasn't the fastest among the group.
He could only be considered average, really!
But in recent years, as Luffy grew older, this guy's improvent speed has gotten faster and faster; in this regard alone, Luffy could be considered the undisputed number one among them.
However, because of the earlier gap in strength, he was still in the catching-up phase and couldn't yet firmly hold the top spot in terms of overall strength.
His strength was about the sa as Ace, the second strongest, but Sabo, who actually had the highest comprehensive strength, couldn't beat Luffy.
Well, what can you do? It's not Sabo's fault that his abilities are completely useless against Luffy!
After all, not every lightning is like Kyle's Violet Heaven Thunder!
This ans that now, every ti Luffy ets Sabo, he has to put on a smug attitude.
Seeing this, Kyle could only sigh, thinking that Luffy truly deserved his reputation as the protagonist of the original story.
The main reason Luffy could improve his strength so quickly was because he successfully awakened his ultimate ability.
It wasn't the so-called Sun God Nika, but the ultimate divine technique that had accompanied him all the way — Situps!!
Relying on his Devil Fruit ability, this guy Luffy would fearlessly throw himself at Garp, Zephyr, or even Kyle every ti they fought.
And the outco was invariably him getting knocked unconscious.
Then, upon waking up again, there was a certain chance he'd trigger his divine Situps technique, achieving a breakthrough in so aspect and raising his strength by a full level.
He is like a Saiyan!
Although it wasn't certain whether this divine technique triggered because there was no risk of death when fighting them.
But even triggering just occasionally, the speed of improvent was still incredibly fast!
In the original story, relying on this technique, Luffy went from a greenhorn rookie just starting out in the East Blue to a Yonko in less than three years.
This speed of improvent was just slightly behind that of the deserter king who tried two hundred tis harder.
Zoro also understood Luffy's situation, so hearing Kyle's words now didn't surprise him much.
It wasn't the first ti that guy Luffy had done sothing like this.
But fortunately, when he fought Luffy, although he couldn't win, overall it wasn't too difficult either.
Because this guy Luffy's weakness was slashing attacks.
When others fought Luffy, part of their attacks' impact would be nullified by his ability, but with slashing attacks, Luffy couldn't rely on his ability to negate them.
He either had to dodge or use Armant Haki to tank them head-on.
Zoro knew his strength was probably around the middle tier within the squad.
But this so-called middle tier was just a relative ranking; apart from Chopper, the strength of the others was actually quite close.
Even soone like Kuina, a woman, hadn't been left behind by the others.
Oh, right, it's worth ntioning here that when people previously said all squad mbers were at least Vice Admiral level, Chopper was excluded.
Of course, this exclusion wasn't done by Kyle and the others; it was how the Marines and residents of Marineford saw it.
That cute little raccoon?
Wasn't he the beloved mascot of the Canglan Squad, and even the entire Marine headquarters?!
This was normal; after all, Chopper's talent wasn't really for combat, and having fallen so many years behind the others in progress, a significant gap in strength was only to be expected.
But he hadn't been idle either. Although he lacked his original-story experiences, Chopper had walked a similar path.
He specifically sought out the finest doctors in Marineford to teach him dical skills, focusing on internal dicine.
Since the Canglan Squad already had an surgeon like Law, specializing in surgery would have been sowhat redundant.
This wasn't to say Chopper couldn't perform surgery; he just wasn't as proficient at it as Law.
Chopper had also gone out on missions now, but not alone; he would randomly accompany any other mber of the Canglan Squad.
After all, our proud and cute little raccoon lord was still quite timid at heart.
A lone raccoon like him wouldn't dare go out to sea!
But Zoro's strength being in the middle tier was before; now that he had mastered Conqueror's...
Hehe!!
Soon, he would cut down the three brothers Luffy, Sabo, and Ace, with that curly brow trampled beneath his foot.
Yeah, beneath his foot!
That curly brow only belonged under his foot.
On the other side, the fight between Garp and Ace had already ended.
Without any surprise, Ace lay on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, gasping for air, his features twitching occasionally from the pain.
Kyle and Zoro walked over to Ace's side, glanced at him, then looked at Garp standing nearby with his arms crossed, sleeping on his feet, showing little surprise.
Having seen Garp's ability to fall asleep standing up anyti, anywhere, they were long used to it and no longer found it strange.
Kyle waved his hand casually, and suddenly a table and four chairs appeared out of nowhere.
On the table, teacups and all the utensils needed for brewing tea were already prepared.
Kyle and Zoro sat down in the chairs.
Very skillfully, they went through the process of making tea. Soon, a pot of Earl Grey was brewed. Kyle took out four cups and poured the tea.
At that mont, Garp's nose bubble suddenly popped. Seeing the scene before him, he was dazed for a mont, but then imdiately burst into loud laughter and sat down in a chair.
"Hahaha... It's always better when you're around, Kyle!"
"Every ti I wake up from a nap, there's tea to drink!"
As he spoke, Garp directly picked up the teacup in front of him and downed it in one gulp.
Then he pushed the cup back in front of Kyle.
"Another cup!!"
Kyle glanced at him.
"Old man Garp, drinking tea right after waking up isn't exactly friendly to your health!"
Despite saying this, Kyle poured Garp another cup.
"Nonsense! Never mind just waking up; this old man could drink tea even while sleeping, no problem. I can even eat while I'm asleep!"
Kyle: .....
Well...
He couldn't argue with that; the unique skill of eating while sleeping, possessed by those two guys Garp and Luffy, truly couldn't be learned by others, not even by him.
He felt this probably wasn't about learning ability?!
It was purely an instinct ingrained in those two guys' bodies, a refusal to miss any al?
Around then, Ace had mostly recovered. He sat down on the last chair, also picked up the tea in front of him, and downed it in one gulp. After finishing, he directly asked Kyle:
"Kyle, got anything to eat? Whip up so food, yeah?"
"That damn old man hit pretty hard; feel like I need to replenish my energy!"
"What do you want to eat?"
"Grilled at?!"
Kyle didn't say another word. With a thought, a large pile of grilled at instantly appeared on the table.
Ace's eyes lit up, but just as his hand reached out halfway, the grilled at vanished in an instant.
Looking over, Garp's mouth was bulging, his face bearing an expression of pure bliss.
Ace: (⊙o⊙)…
!!!
"You damn old man, what are you doing?!!"
Ace's face flushed with intense anger. Just as he was about to rush over and confront Garp, a sound interrupted his movent.
"Brru-brru~ Brru-brru~"
Kyle raised an eyebrow slightly, pulling a continuously ringing Transponder Snail from his pocket.
Kyle answered it directly, and a voice ca through from the other end. After a mont, Kyle's expression suddenly beca extrely strange.
"What did you say?!!"
