"HAHAHAHA! I can see that you've gotten stronger. How do you feel, Chouchou?"
"Wolf Wolf!" Chouchou barked enthusiastically.
"That's good. Unfortunately, we still don't know much about your powers and your final form, but we'll start your training on the next island. Nevertheless, that doesn't deny that your fruit is quite powerful." Luffy smiled with satisfaction.
"Woof! Woof!" Chouchou responded, wagging his tail.
"In the meantime, since we're on the open sea, let's strengthen your bodies in the training room until we reach our destination." Luffy spoke and turned to the new members of the group.
"Vivi, Robin, and Karoo, you will begin your training as well. Now that you're part of this crew, let's start with the six styles to improve your bodies, as you're quite weak at the moment and need a minimum strength to face our upcoming challenges." Luffy said, and everyone nodded.

The captain led the group towards the training room, the space designated for skill enhancement and learning new techniques since he began training in the six styles. While each member dedicated themselves to their training in different corners of the room, Luffy chose to specifically guide the two girls in the application of Soru to improve their mobility, while the duck trained the slashing kick.

The initial focus was on agility, an area Luffy knew to be crucial in overcoming the weaknesses of his new companions. He envisioned Robin's potential as a true weapon of destruction, imagining the creation of many hands through her fruit and the deadly effectiveness of the Shigan technique at a stage where she could use the air like bullets. However, he decided to start with the basics, focusing on developing agility as the foundation for defense, as he himself managed to capture her.

For Vivi and Robin, the surprise was evident as they started training in the first few minutes, and Luffy, known for his laid-back nature, transformed into a strict and relentless instructor under his guidance. Under his direction, the two were pushed to the limit of their abilities, and that didn't satisfy the captain as they faced intense pain and challenges from the intensive training.

"Great! Now, again! And again! Until every move is as natural as breathing."
"But we're tired!"
"..."
"No time for laziness! I want to see you stronger, faster! Understood?"
"That... is heavy!" Vivi complained, expressing the difficulty of the exercise.
"..."
"Keep going; you can do better than that!"

Some time later, Vivi and Robin were sprawled on the floor, unable to move.
"What?! You're already on the ground? We haven't even started your first day!"
"This is outrageous; let us rest!" Vivi shouted in despair.
Meanwhile, Robin remained silent, but her expression made it clear that she wasn't enjoying the rigor of the training. Her silence spoke volumes about the intensity of the session.
