Chapter 18: New Adventure Again!!

~ 4 month later ~

The sun shone brightly over Foosha Village, illuminating the training grounds where Yuna, Luffy, and Ace were preparing for another day of training. The air buzzed with excitement as they gathered, ready to hone their skills.

"Alright, Yuna! Here I go!!" Luffy shouted, grinning widely as he bounced on his feet, his eyes sparkling with determination.

"Bring it on, Luffy! But don't cry when you can't hit me!" Yuna teased, her white hair billowing in the breeze as she took her stance. She felt relaxed, ready to dodge whatever they threw her way.

Without waiting for a countdown, Luffy lunged at her, throwing a powerful Gum-Gum Pistol. Yuna effortlessly sidestepped, evading the attack with ease.

"Hey! You're not supposed to dodge!" Luffy complained, frowning and turning to face her again.

Ace, leaning against a tree with a smirk, chuckled at his brother's frustration. "Luffy, you need to focus! Yuna's not going to let you hit her if you keep being reckless."

"Shut up, Ace! I'm just getting started!" Luffy retorted, his competitive spirit ignited. He launched another attack, this time aiming for Yuna's legs.

With a quick hop, Yuna jumped over Luffy's arm, landing gracefully behind him. "You really need to work on your aim, Luffy!" she laughed, clearly enjoying the friendly rivalry.

Ace finally stepped in, his expression turning serious. "Alright, my turn!" he announced, charging toward Yuna with a fiery punch aimed at her midsection.

Yuna pivoted, dodging Ace's attack just in time. "Nice try, Ace! But you'll have to be faster than that!" she teased, her confidence shining through as she danced around him.

"Enough with the games!" Ace said, getting more serious as he attempted a second punch. This time, he threw a combination of attacks, trying to catch Yuna off guard.

Luffy, seeing Ace was taking the training seriously, jumped back into the fray. "I'll take her from the other side!" he shouted, charging forward with a Gum-Gum Bazooka.

"Luffy, no!" Ace shouted, realizing too late that his brother was going to collide with him as they both charged at Yuna.

With a playful smirk, Yuna sidestepped their attacks, watching as Luffy's fist collided with Ace, sending both of them tumbling to the ground in a heap.

"Whoops! Looks like you both need to work on your teamwork!" Yuna laughed, standing above them with her hands on her hips.

"Ugh, why do you always dodge everything?!" Luffy whined, getting back up and brushing himself off.

"Maybe because I'm better than you two!" Yuna teased, sticking out her tongue. "But seriously, you both need to coordinate if you want to catch me."

"Alright, let's try again!" Luffy said, determination in his eyes as he stood up. Ace nodded, a grin on his face as he readied himself for another attempt.

As they resumed their training, Luffy and Ace worked together more strategically, trying to corner Yuna. Luffy attempted to distract her while Ace aimed to land a hit. Yuna found herself dodging and weaving, enjoying the thrill of their playful sparring.

"Come on, Yuna! You can't keep dodging forever!" Ace yelled, his focus sharp as he aimed a punch at her.

"I don't need to!" she shouted back, flipping away from his attack. "I'm just having too much fun!"

As the training continued, laughter filled the air, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and friendship. The sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the village, and they finally took a break, lying on the grass, panting and exhausted.
