Elsewhere, Bang! Bang! Whitebeard and the other three, who had also landed on the island, all looked toward Cole with grave expressions.

"Could Cole really be a giant?" Whitebeard said.

"Hey, hey! Newgate, that was Elbaf's Spear, Hegemony Country, wasn't it?" Garp shouted. "Have you already conquered Elbaf?!"

At those words, Zephyr and Sengoku were shocked as well. That was right!

According to the Rocks Pirates' rules, if giants joined Rocks, it meant Elbaf had joined the Rocks Pirates!

And Cole had only recently joined the Rocks Pirates!

Garp and the other two looked even more solemn. If it was true, the world really would be turned upside down! Elbaf was known as the strongest nation.

"It was Elbaf's Spear, Hegemony Country! But Cole probably isn't from Elbaf," Whitebeard said. "Still, he may have come from Elbaf."

"Haha! As long as you haven't conquered Elbaf, it's fine. One giant can't shake the World Government's rule," Garp said casually, letting out a breath of relief.

"However, it seems that attack can't be used freely!" Seeing Cole's exhausted state, Sengoku relaxed slightly and spoke softly.

"Haha! Sengoku, as long as Luo Han is here, Zephyr can't do anything." Golden Lion laughed smugly. "And now isn't the time to chat, Sengoku!"

Golden Lion swept his right hand. Clang! A powerful slash shot toward Sengoku!

Sengoku transformed into a giant Buddha and turned to throw a punch. A condensed shockwave burst forth, Boom!, blocking Golden Lion's slash.

The battle erupted once more. In an instant, the four were fighting again.

On Luo Han's side, he shook his head slightly as he watched the panting Cole.

"What are you in such a hurry for? Our main goal now is to improve and grow stronger. Haki can only improve quickly in battle," Luo Han said. "Now that you have a Marine Admiral-level Zephyr as a sparring partner, just go at him without worry. I'll handle everything else."

"Got it, Brother Han!"

Cole said after catching his breath.

"You two little brats!!"

Zephyr roared from the side, his face livid. These two little bastards actually saw him as a sparring partner!

It seemed he still had to capture these two little bastards and send them to Impel Down for labor reform! Zephyr thought darkly.

"Haha! Come on, Zephyr! You're destined to become Cole's sparring partner," Luo Han laughed loudly, then said in a deep voice, "Because I said so."

You... bastard! Zephyr's anger exploded.

Even his Haki seemed to grow more solid!

Bang! Zephyr threw a punch!

Cole threw one as well!

Clang! This time, the two clashed head-on. One large fist and one small fist remained locked in a stalemate.

Bang! The two were each knocked back ten meters.

"Ow, ow!" Cole blew frantically on his reddened fist.

Though his physical strength had made up some of the gap in power, his Haki still wasn't strong enough.

Fortunately, the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit's recovery effect on Cole's body was incredibly powerful.

Before long, his reddened fist had returned to normal.

The battle that followed had Cole attacking while Luo Han supported him from the side.

Whenever Zephyr targeted Cole's weak spots, such as his temples, balls, eyes, and other vulnerable parts of the body—

Luo Han would hit Zephyr with a burst of Psychokinesis.

Every time, it made Zephyr so furious that he would leap up and charge at Luo Han.

Unfortunately! Luo Han had already mastered lurking at the edge of the battlefield to perfection, flawlessly dodging all of Zephyr's attacks.

This battle continued for three days and three nights, finally ending because Cole wanted to eat.

Perhaps knowing that continuing would mean a battle to the death—and that Luo Han was there being so damn annoying—

Sengoku and the others stopped fighting as well!

"Haha! Whitebeard, I'll let you go this time. Next time, I'll send you to Impel Down!" Garp said casually, unconcerned about letting pirates escape.

"Then next time, I'll throw you into the sea and feed you to the fish!" Whitebeard glared back at Garp without backing down.

Garp burst into laughter, then returned to the warship with Zephyr and Sengoku.

Luo Han and the others also returned to their respective ships.

The moment he got back aboard, Luo Han saw a group of underlings lost in fantasy, all wearing blissful expressions. It made his head hurt.

Ignoring them, Luo Han quickly had the ship's chefs prepare food.

Then he sat down on the deck with Cole, looking at Cole's body covered in bruises.

Luo Han felt that he had gone a bit too far. Under the banner of training Cole's Haki, he had lurked at the side like mad.

Fortunately! With Cole's body, he should recover after eating. After comforting himself with that thought—

He immediately felt much better!

Step! Step! Whitebeard and Golden Lion walked up to Luo Han and Cole.

"What a strong body! To fight Zephyr for three days and three nights, Cole! You have earned my recognition," Golden Lion said!

At the same time, he thought to himself that Cole would probably become a formidable opponent in the future.

As for Luo Han? That guy who only cheered from the sidelines might have strange attacks, but without strong Haki, he wasn't much of a threat.

Sigh! Poor Luo Han had no idea that this battle had made Golden Lion look down on him.

Though even if he knew, Luo Han probably wouldn't care, right?

Heh heh! Cole merely smiled without saying anything.

There was nothing much to say. After all, he was the one who had been beaten, and what annoyed him even more was that he hadn't managed to hurt Zephyr in the slightest.

A Marine Admiral's strength truly was extraordinary!

"Haha! Being able to leave Zephyr helpless with just physical toughness is already astonishing," Whitebeard said. "So, Cole! Are you a giant? After all, not just anyone can use Hegemony Country!"

"A giant stranded on an island taught it to me before," Luo Han answered first, not wanting to expose Uncle Kate's existence.

"I see! Just like Linlin," Whitebeard said.

Though he still had some doubts, it wasn't worth investigating. Whitebeard had only been curious for the moment.

Then he sat on the deck with Golden Lion to rest.

Time slowly passed, and the ships sailed on for some distance.

Before long, Sister Shaku came over! Behind her were underlings carrying food.

"Oh my! You must be hungry. Eat up, you two young men," Sister Shaku said to Luo Han and Cole.

Plate after plate of delicacies was brought over.

Luo Han and Cole no longer had time to reply. They each grabbed chunks of meat and started gnawing on them.

Whitebeard and Golden Lion joined in as well, crazily sweeping through the food.

All four of them were big eaters. In no time, plate after plate was emptied.

More and more food was served, while the ship's chefs busily prepared more dishes.

Luo Han and Golden Lion were the first to finish this feast.

Only Whitebeard and Cole continued. Both were enormous men, and their appetites were terrifying.

But in the end, Whitebeard was still defeated.

Only Cole remained, still fighting on, though he was nearly done. If he kept eating, there would be no food left on the ship.

After all, the Kun Kun Fruit had given Cole nearly limitless devouring ability. It was as though the food entered an infinite space; no matter how much there was, Cole could eat it all.

Huff, huff! Cole let out a deep breath! All the injuries on his body had disappeared.

"That's enough! No more food is needed," Cole said to the head chef.

"Oh!! Yes, Lord Cole!" The head chef replied only after staring blankly for a moment.

"How is it, Cole? You're fully recovered, right?" Luo Han asked.

"Yeah! I'm all better, Brother Han," Cole replied.

That was good! Otherwise, Luo Han would still feel a little guilty. He really did feel a little guilty.

"Then do you feel like your Haki has become more solid?" Luo Han asked.

Mm! Cole raised his right hand, covered in Armament Haki, and carefully sensed it.

"It really is more solid than before!" Cole said.

"Haha! Luo Han, Cole, Haki truly can only improve through battle!" Whitebeard said. "I look forward to fighting you someday, kid Cole!"

Seeing the excited look in Whitebeard's eyes as he looked at Cole—

Luo Han felt a little depressed. Obviously, I'm the most handsome guy here.

He had only been sent flying once during the entire battle. After that, it had been Luo Han single-handedly sending Zephyr flying.

Why did everyone keep saying Cole was impressive? Are they jealous because my Devil Fruit ability looks so cool? Luo Han fell into deep doubt.

Whitebeard and Golden Lion exchanged awkward glances as they watched Luo Han sink into his fantasies.

The main thing was that Luo Han's ability was just too annoying. Though its offensive power wasn't strong, it could still send people flying, like kicking them around as balls.

Whitebeard and Golden Lion had no desire to suffer that kind of aggravation. Didn't they see how Zephyr had been angered into stamping his feet?

Afterward, everyone returned to their own comfortable places to rest.

The ships slowly sailed toward the next island, White Island.
