Chapter 153 - Ape Awakening – Raja’s Titan Training Tantrum

Raja hovered over Sabo, his midnight-blue cape fluttering behind him like a bat on a sugar rush. With a glowing finger, he tapped Sabo's forehead—ZAP!

Sabo's eyes rolled back, his limbs went noodle-mode, and he collapsed like a sack of revolutionary potatoes.

"Nap time, pipe boy!"Raja cackled, twirling his wand. With a lazy flick, he conjured a hammock—poof!—sprawling out with a tropical smoothie, slurping obnoxiously.

Titan, the Baboon King, lumbered over, scratching his furry head. "Boss, he dead?"

Raja waved a hand dismissively. "Nah, just rebooting his memory banks. Give it a sec."

An hour later, Sabo jolted awake, gasping like he just survived a horror movie jumpscare. Tears streamed down his face. "MY BROTHERS! I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!"

He lunged forward, hugging Raja's leg like a desperate koala.

"You're a miracle worker, man! Thank you!"

Raja yelped, trying to pry him off. "Off me, you soggy drama king! Spill it—what's this brother deal?"

Sabo sniffled dramatically. "Ace and Luffy—my sworn brothers! Ace wants to set the world on fire with flair, and Luffy's dead-set on being Pirate King!"

Raja sprang up, puffed out his chest, stretched his arms—pop!pop!crack! and bellowed:

"I WILL BECOME KING OF THE PIRATES!"

Then he doubled over laughing. "Like that?"

Sabo's jaw hit the floor. "How'd you—?!"

Raja smirked, twirling his cape like a magician. "Luffy's my captain, dummy! And Ace? Whitebeard's fiery commander now—hot stuff!"

Sabo's eyes glistened. "Thank you for the info, I owe you BIG!"

Raja grinned. "So, trust me yet, pipe boy?"

Sabo chuckled, wiping his tears. "Luffy's a moron, but his crew-picking game is flawless… You're gold!"

Raja preened, striking a heroic pose under a conjured spotlight—poof!

"Obviously. Now, buckle up. Upgrades incoming!"

Sabo blinked. "Upgrades? What's cooking, wizard?"

Raja pulled out a glowing syringe—poof!—and waggled his eyebrows.

"Super Soldier Serum: triples your strength, speed, durability, and stamina. Give it time? Boom, five-fold boost."

Sabo stared. "That's… that's cheating."

Raja smirked. "Oh? You don't want it?"

Sabo snatched it. "Gimme!"

"Next,"Raja continued, pulling out a swirling Devil Fruit, "a Mythical Zoan and a custom breathing technique. Train with my apes until I call for a war."

Sabo raised an eyebrow. "The serum's dope, but what's this 'call for a war' thing?"He explained he has duties Dragon-san won't approve.

Right on cue, Raja's Magical Den-Den Mushi buzzed—Brrring! and explained everything.

Dragon's gruff voice barked through. "Give him the goods, kid. Full green light."

Raja saluted the air. "Aye, boss!" Then he smirked at Sabo. "Boot camp's a go—Dragon approved!"

Sabo squinted. "How the hell did you rope in Dragon so fast?"

Raja slurped his smoothie. "Met him in Loguetown a few days ago. Tossed him some books."

Sabo's eye twitched. "Wait… Those books?! How to Remove Tyrant Pigs, Democracy 101, Military Tactics?! I copied those for Dragon—he was OBSESSED!"

Raja smirked. "Yeah, I scribbled 'em. Good reads?"

Sabo fell to his knees. "YOU'RE A GENIUS! Be our spiritual leader for the Revolutionary Army"

Raja groaned. "Not you too!" He jabbed the serum into Sabo's arm—ZAP!

Sabo flopped naked—thud! Sweating buckets, he muttered, "So… strong…"

Raja hovered, sipping. "Sleep tight, Adonis—gains loading."

An hour later, Sabo woke up, looking like a Greek god.

"WHOA!" He flexed, punching the air—whoosh! "I could suplex a Sea King!"

Raja zoomed by on his hoverboard. "Calm down, beefcake. Adapt first!"

Next up: the Devil Fruit. Raja tossed it to Sabo. "Saru Saru no Mi, Model: Titan Giant Ape. Chow down!"

Sabo took a bite—chomp! "Tastes like shit."

Then—POOF!

He ballooned into a towering Titan Giant Ape, fur bristling, roaring—ROOOAR! In sabo's mind something awakened.

A shockwave of Conqueror's Hakiblasted out Sabo—BOOM!—knocking Titan flat. Sabo new Supreme King was born.

"New rival?!"the Baboon King hooted, scrambling up.

Raja clapped. "Down, boy—human mode!"

Sabo shrank back, grinning ear-to-ear. "I'M A BEAST! Never thought I was qualified to be Supreme King."

Raja smirked. "Literally. Don't trash my cave."

Raja pointed dramatically. "Three tasks, pipe boy: Master the fruit, nail Titan Breathing, and coat your staff with Conqueror's Haki!"

Raja created the Titan Breathing method using Beast and Stone breathing combinedand he also explained the Devil fruit Attribute Earth and Gravity.

He conjured a long staff—poof!—dark blue, dragon and phoenix heads on the ends, forged from enchanted metals and the meteorite staff. "Meet Titan's Might—shape-shifting long staff, blood-bonded to you!"

Sabo gawked, "This is MINE?!"

Raja nodded, "Yup—your personal celestial dragon basher!"

Sabo saluted. "I'll crush it—loyalty to the Revolutionary Spirtual Leader!"

Raja groaned. "Not the title thing again!"He waved his wand—poof!—a stone house sprouted. "Train hard. Slack, and I zap you."

Sabo flexed. "I'm pumped—bring it on!"

Raja took the Navy Six styles and Haki Manuals from Sabo and asked him show case his Haki coating fist and after observing the internal and external way of Haki manifestation Raja came to a conclusion how to manifest Haki.

Raja hopped on his hoverboard—ZOOM! "Later, ape lord! Don't embarrass me!"

Titan hooted. "We'll whip him good, boss!"
