Kaido: Big Mom says I'm not as good as that kid?

Hearing Linlin's words, Kaido's lips twitched. In his heart, he secretly vowed to obtain the Devil Fruit in Linlin's hands as soon as possible.

To get away from this "monster" as soon as possible!

Linlin's monstrous body was nothing short of a disaster for him.

The final result of this war was still Linlin's victory.

Feeling Kaido's strength gradually diminishing, showing signs of decline, Linlin looked displeased and said, "Kaido, quickly learn Armament Haki, quickly become stronger!"

"Your body is too far behind that kid Ares's!"

"Although the size is large, it's just for show!!"

Saying that, she stood up directly from Kaido's body, her huge eyes carrying a clear warning: "If you can't do it, that Devil Fruit won't be given to you!"

"I'm waiting for the day you become strong!"

Kaido pushed aside the rubble and stood up from the ground with a gloomy face. Linlin's words directly hit his inner pride.

As a "man."

Being told he was inferior to others at this time, a strong surge of anger instantly rose in his heart.

"Just wait, I will definitely surpass that guy!" Kaido said through gritted teeth, unwilling to even mention Ares's name.

Stepping out, he forcefully crushed the rubble on the ground into dust, put on his clothes, and immediately left the room.

Inside Skull Castle.

Captain John, carrying a wine bottle, walked into Rocks's room. Looking at Rocks sitting on the sofa in a commanding position, he walked towards the sofa while saying, "The commotion earlier was caused by that kid Ares."

He plopped down on the sofa, raised the wine bottle, and began to pour it into his mouth, glug, glug, glug.

"Hah~"

A large gulp of wine down his throat brought a pleasant expression to Captain John's face, and he continued, "Shiki taught Ares to drink, and as a result, Ares got drunk by accident."

"Causing that kid Ares to hit without restraint."

Then, the corner of his mouth rose, with a smile: "Hehe... even Shiki's face was punched with a bump by Ares."

A look of surprise also appeared on Rocks's face, and he reached out to smooth the hair on the top of his head, which swayed in the wind like a bundle of seaweed.

A faint arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Interesting."

"That kid is mentally unstable, aren't you going to have him looked at?"

Captain John put the wine bottle on the table, making a bang, and stared straight at Rocks opposite him, the arc of his mouth widening: "Why should I have Ares treated? Isn't it good the way he is now?"

"A man with persistence and dreams, this sea can't stop him!"

"That guy wants to forge himself into a famous sword, doesn't the captain want to see if this kid can succeed?"

Although he was the navigator and part-time doctor of the Rocks Pirates, he had no intention or thought of treating Ares.

Instead, he was thinking about how to make Ares go further on this "impossible path."

"Zehahaha..."

Hearing John's words, Rocks couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Well said, I also want to see the guy who has the courage to challenge me, Rocks."

"To what extent he can grow in the future."

He leaned back, his hands resting on the back of the sofa, his face full of arrogance and confidence: "As long as they are on my, Rocks's, ship, I, Rocks, am confident that I am the strongest!"

"Whether it's Newgate, Shiki, or Linlin, my ship can accommodate their dreams!"

"The final destination of the Rocks Pirates will be this--world!!"

This ship accommodates many pirates with ambitions and dreams, and Rocks knows this well, but he has absolute confidence and faith to control these guys.

Let them become his capable generals on the road to pursuing their dreams and ambitions!

Captain John reached out and took out a bottle of wine from his body and threw it directly at Rocks, saying, "That kid Ares is really a monster. I don't know what method he used to raise his body temperature and greatly increase his combat power!"

Then he told Rocks everything that had happened before.

With only a quarter of the bottle of wine left, Rocks put down the wine bottle, his domineering eyes turning slightly in their sockets, and said, "Maybe it's some kind of special instinct."

"This guy still needs some time to grow up!"

Saying that, his face began to become solemn and serious: "Let's talk about serious business, we have a lot of enemies on this sea now."

"There are the Byrnndi World Pirates, the Roger Pirates, and even a few extremely powerful pirates, such as The Lone Red, Redfield."

"But our real enemies are the Marines, the World Government!"

There are many pirates, and everyone has their own ambitions and dreams.

Compared to pirates, Rocks is more concerned about the World Government and its affiliated Marines organization, which have stood in this world for more than seven hundred years.

That is the biggest obstacle to his domination of the world.

John's face also became solemn and serious. After pondering for a moment, he said, "We must let the Rocks Pirates develop and grow rapidly in the next two years, and at the same time, we must find powerful Devil Fruits."

"The World Government will hold the World Conference in two years. That will be the best opportunity. Otherwise, if we miss it, we will have to wait another four years!"

The current Sea Calendar is 1480, and there are only 2 years left until the next conference.

Rocks nodded, finishing the rest of the wine in the bottle in one gulp, a glint flashing in his eyes as his tone became more serious, "Then we'll complete it within these two years!"

"We must also find powerful Devil Fruit!"

He put down the bottle and looked at John, saying, "John, you are the most trustworthy person I have, and you have also seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia."

"So, for our respective dreams, we must find a powerful Devil Fruit!!"

"I'll leave this matter to you. Keep a low profile and don't get caught by the Marines."

John stood up from the sofa and laughed, "Leave this matter to me, I will definitely find a Devil Fruit that the captain is satisfied with!"

Their eyes met in the air, and they could both see the ambition filling each other's eyes!

The scene changed.

In the training room on Hachinosu Island.

Pirates are a group of energetic guys, and some pirates choose to vent their excess energy with fine wine and women.

While some pirates choose to exercise to vent.

The reason some of them choose to exercise is not that they don't want fine wine and women, but because they--have no money!!

This is reality.

And strength will determine their status in the Rocks Pirates and the treasures they reap.

The sound of "huh huh ha hey" kept ringing in the training room, but it was drowned out by a series of loud "bang bang bang" sounds.

That was the sound Ares made during training!

A wind and thunder-like whistling sound came from the iron rod, and finally landed heavily on Ares's sturdy muscles.

Bang!!!

The bronze-colored muscles trembled for a while.

Golden Lion looked at Ares, who was training with great momentum in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth with interest: "Jie ha ha ha..."

"Newgate, I have an idea, what do you say if I teach Ares Swordsmanship..."

"With this kid's persistence and hard work, to what extent can he cultivate Swordsmanship?"
