I don&#8217;t want to hear if there is even treasure or not!  I don&#8217;t know anything about it, but everyone puts their lives on the line and sets out to see to find out for themselves.  If grandpa were to tell us anything, then I&#8217;ll quit on becoming the Pirate King!  If we&#8217;re gonna have a boring adventure, then I won&#8217;t do it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/luffy-shouting.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/luffy-shouting.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"luffy shouting\" width=\"506\" height=\"320\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2026\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThat is awesome.  That is so true.  I immediately thought about my fight career, how I&#8217;m struggling with everything- nutrition, my health, training, kinds of training, instructors, finding time, sleeping, everything.<\/p>\n<p>But without it&#8230;life is so&#8230;.SO boring!  I was sitting home injured last month thinking, &#8220;Gosh I&#8217;m so bored, I might as well go into work so I can do something useful.  This sucks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s so exciting!  Learning new techniques, feeling myself getting stronger.  The joy I felt grappling the other day was unparalleled to anything else.  I was crying walking on the street in the crows of Yokohama just because I was so happy and fulfilled.  I&#8217;m always meeting new people, learning new things, traveling places, having a wonderful adventure.<\/p>\n<p>When I beat Jennifer How so many years ago, and the announcer called me the champion of the world, I remember thinking, &#8220;How sad would it be if I were always on top with no one to challenge me?  What a boring thing that would be.  I hope other fighters spring up to challenge me.&#8221;  Hah well I got my wish.  Now I&#8217;m not even in the top ten.  <\/p>\n<p>Rayleigh then asked Luffy, &#8220;Can you conquer the seas?  There are strong enemies.&#8221;<br \/>\nLuffy replied, &#8220;I don&#8217;t wanna conquer anything!  It&#8217;s that the Pirate King is the one with the most freedom on the entire ocean!&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/luffy-grinning.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/luffy-grinning.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"luffy grinning\" width=\"402\" height=\"280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2027\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was watching One Piece just now.
