Educating Rose

Ship Doctor Rose smiled at Julian, saying respectfully, "Is Captain's little brat Momonosuke really that strong?" Julian showed a look of disdain and said, "He's definitely not that strong, but if you're talking about being despicable, I couldn't catch up to him even after another hundred and eighty years."

Rose said, "Captain, go all out. I want to challenge you and prove myself. I will never lose to this remnant of the Kozuki Family." Julian's expression darkened, and he said, "It's fine if you want to try, but does challenging me prove you're stronger than Momonosuke?" Rose said with disdain, "Captain, you just said Momonosuke's swordsmanship is better than yours. I want to prove myself. My sword is better than Momonosuke's."

Julian said with disdain, "Momonosuke, at three years old, he beat up his wet nurse. At six, he frequented brothels and stayed out all night. At eight, he started playing pranks to scare other children. At fifteen, he kept prostitutes in the temple's backyard and had a harem. At sixteen, he stole his friends' girlfriends, wives, and subordinates' daughters. At seventeen, he boiled oden on his dead friend's ashes. I'm a normal person, how can I compare? Even if my soy milk ran dry, I still couldn't compare! How could I be as despicable as him!"

Rose said unconvinced, "Captain, I don't believe my sword is weaker than Momonosuke's."

Julian activated his Earth-Earth Fruit ability, his hands covered in black mineral mud, like the color of ore. It even had the hardening effect of iron ore. Rose's heart pounded. Was he like this just now? This would surely kill him with one punch. Julian said with disdain, "Be careful, your face will hurt from this punch." With that, Julian activated Mud Bounce, instantly accelerating.

Julian shouted, "Super Heavy Fall!" Rose broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, Too fast. Julian's punch landed on Rose's katana, and with a bang, the katana instantly broke into two pieces. Rose was sent flying over ten meters away. Julian had held back his strength, otherwise, he would have had to prepare a eulogy and memorial service for Rose today. Rose's combat strength was average. He wore a katana at his waist purely for appearance. He knew nothing about swordsmanship but was very knowledgeable about medicine and plants.

Julian smiled at Rose and said, "Get up, don't be discouraged. With more training, you'll have this strength too." Julian painted a rosy picture, saying, "I'll find you a Devil Fruit later to increase your strength, I guarantee you'll surpass that little brat Momonosuke." Rose shook his head and slowly stood up from the deck. Standing straight, he looked at Julian happily and said, "Captain, are you really going to give me a Devil Fruit?" Julian sighed and said, "I don't have one now. I'll give it to you when I find one later, okay?" Rose looked at his broken sword again, his face filled with sadness, and said, "My Kozuki Cut... it's broken."

Julian said with disdain, "Don't be sad. Go to the logistics department and get another sturdy sword! We don't lack weapons now; you can take two if you want." Julian then said to Rose like an old father, "You idiot, stop spacing out here and go somewhere else." Rose's expression darkened, and he said, "Understood, I'll leave now. Sorry to bother you. Arigato." Julian's expression also darkened, and he said, "Why are you speaking Wano Country language?" Rose smiled and said, "Sukunai." Julian cursed, "Get lost!"

Julian then took the two women to the deck to look at the vast blue sea and chat about life. Alice said seriously, "Julian, why did you curse at Rose? Rose is a good person." Julian smiled and said, "I wasn't cursing. That was concern. After all, anyone who speaks Wano Country language, I think I need to investigate their ancestors for three generations. I don't want my Mud Dragon Pirates to be infiltrated by Wano Country scoundrels." Alice's expression darkened. Rose was from the South Blue.

Beatrice changed the subject, saying, "We've been sailing for five days. The weather has been great these past few days." Julian smiled and said, "The weather has been sunny and bright, perfect for swimming." Julian looked at Alice's heaving chest and said, "Want to go swimming together later?" Alice saw Julian's gaze lingering on her chest and immediately pulled at her collar. Julian's expression darkened, and he said, "We're all decent people, don't be so formal. I can let you see too." Julian then started to pull at his collar. Alice quickly said, "Are you done yet?"

Beatrice changed the subject again, saying, "We'll reach the next island in a few more days. What's the name of the next island again?" Julian smiled and said, "It's called Kari Island. Legend has it there are monsters and many giant animals on that island. You two need to be careful and stick close to me, understand?" Alice smiled and said, "Understood, Brother Julian."

Beatrice said curiously, "I really want to see the island and what those giant animals look like." Alice smiled and said, "If there are special plants on the island, I can make medicine for you." Julian asked curiously, "What kind of plants do you need? What medicine are you making?"

Beatrice said, "My father gave me a lot of knowledge about medicine, such as potions for strengthening the body, increasing stamina, or improving bones, but they all require specific plants." Alice said regretfully, "My father never found those rare and strange plants. He spent his whole life as a doctor on the island, but he read many ancient books and pharmacopoeias." Julian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for you." Julian thought to himself, I hope Alice can find those rare and valuable plants.

At this time, in the South Blue sea, five Marine warships were heading towards Ilusigal Island. Five warships, flying the Marine flag, were sailing in formation on the sea. A Rear Admiral was leading the fleet, standing out on the foremost warship.

A Marine communication soldier reported to Rear Admiral Gilmi, "Rear Admiral, we're almost at Kari Island." Rear Admiral Gilmi said sternly, "The pirates who robbed that kingdom are the Mud Dragon Pirates. They are really difficult to deal with. The opponent is also a Logia Devil Fruit user, and a very powerful Logia type, the Earth-Earth Fruit. Their ability is indeed very strong. Their attacks can already rival a Marine Vice Admiral. If I can't defeat him, our Navy might suffer heavy losses." Another Brigadier General asked, "Are we still going to capture Julian of the Mud Dragon Pirates?"

Gilmi nodded, took out his two katanas, and said, "To deal with Logia Devil Fruit users, Armament Haki is needed. My Armament Haki is still unstable." The Brigadier General's expression darkened, and he asked, "Rear Admiral Gilmi, do you know Armament Haki?" Gilmi also looked embarrassed and said, "I haven't mastered it yet, but it's okay. I believe our justice will never fear evil."

Just then, Rear Admiral Gilmi's Den Den Mushi rang. "Moshi Moshi." Gilmi picked up the Den Den Mushi and said seriously, "Hello, this is Rear Admiral Gilmi. What is it?" The communication soldier said, "Report, Rear Admiral Gilmi, the Mud Dragon Pirates have left Ilusigal Island. Their route is likely towards Kari Island." Rear Admiral Gilmi said sternly, "I understand. I will arrest all these pirates and send them to Impel Down." With that, Gilmi hung up the Den Den Mushi, flicked his justice cape, and shouted loudly, "Set course for Kari Island! Pursue the Mud Dragon Pirates! For justice!"

Julian and the others had been sailing for ten days. Every night, Julian would ask Alice to wear a nurse outfit. Beatrice didn't have Alice's curves, so it would be useless for her to wear it. As soon as Alice put on the nurse outfit, Julian felt like he was reaching his peak. Alice's proud peaks made Julian exclaim, "My soy milk is flowing out!"

The daily training and life of the crew on the Mud Dragon were proceeding in an orderly fashion. Julian trained during the day, developed his Devil Fruit in the evening, and had women by his side at night. Life was very comfortable. The longer Julian lived in this world, the more he felt his previous life was like a corporate slave. Julian thought to himself, The pirate crew is a bit weak, but it's okay. I'm not seeking death. I'll develop slowly and not take risks. In terms of being steady, Julian is far ahead.

In the afternoon, Julian took Beatrice and Alice for a stroll on the deck at the bow of the ship, enjoying the sunny and beautiful sea. Julian thought to himself, It's great to be able to sail without worries. Looking at the sun setting over the sea, the sea under the sunset looked magnificent.

Julian also thought to himself, No wonder so many people want to go to sea. Sailing freely is so comfortable. Julian looked at the sun before him, magnificent over the sea. He held the hands of the two women and gently said, "Are you two used to being pirates now? Is being a pirate very free?"

Beatrice smiled and said, "Wherever you want to go, I'll follow you there." Alice also strongly supported, saying, "Yes, Julian. Ever since I agreed to join your big family, I've wanted to sail freely with you all." Julian embraced both of them with one arm each, channeling his inner Li Xunhuan.

Julian said, "Let's go, it's time for dinner." He then led the two women to the third floor. Two maids pushed a small cart towards Julian and said, "Captain, it's time to eat." They then served the food onto the table. Julian looked at the two and asked, "Lilijia, Lilian, have you two eaten?" The two girls smiled and said, "Captain, we've both eaten." These two were the first two female crew members Julian had rescued. The older sister was sixteen and the younger sister was fourteen. Pierre, seeing how clever they were, arranged for them to be Julian's nannies.

These two were also very rare beauties. The older sister, Lilijia, was one meter seventy tall, petite and delicate, with a small, exquisite face like a melon seed. Her hair was black. She was a beauty just entering her prime. The younger sister, Lilian, also had a small melon seed face and looked very beautiful, a future beauty at such a young age. However, Julian had no ulterior motives; it was just good to have two more people to clean. Julian smiled and said, "Testing the captain with this? You underestimate me too much."

Julian said to Beatrice and Alice, "Come, eat more vegetables and grow strong." Alice smiled and said, "Let's all eat together." Beatrice nodded and said, "Yes, yes, everyone eat together." Julian smiled at Lilian and said, "You two go down and rest. Thank you for your hard work." Julian waved goodbye to them. The two female nannies smiled slightly and said, "Goodbye, Captain."

Julian said with a mischievous smile, "Alice, let's go swimming together tonight. You two help me out. I'm a Devil Fruit user and afraid of water, but I do enjoy swimming." The two women remained silent, recalling how Julian had taken liberties when they went swimming together and what unspeakable things he had done. The two women slowly nodded. Julian said seriously, "You two must hold onto me tightly."

At night, Julian saw the busy Pablo. Julian smiled and said, "Pablo, do you like this job?" Pablo said, "I'm very grateful to you, Captain, for giving me this opportunity. These tasks are not difficult, just numbers and bills." Julian smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this to you." Pablo nodded and said, "It's a small matter. I'll help the Captain handle this." Julian said with relief, "Everything is entrusted to you." Pablo said, "Compared to you, Captain, what I do is just a drop in the bucket."
