And the pirates also felt a little absurd and inexplicable.

Ares...

Is he really a pirate?

"No, it's too dangerous to stay here any longer." Ochoku was anxious and angry, turning around and hysterically shouting at the dazed pirates on the ship, "What are you waiting for? Continue to control the ship, get closer!"

He felt that if he let Ares "play" like this, his heart might not be able to take it.

He used to think Ares, who was always immersed in training, was very "cute," but now he doesn't think that guy is cute at all.

On the warship.

Ares, who fell into the cabin, smashed a lot of things, reached out and touched his head, "I still need to train, I can't master this explosive power yet."

His power can explode, even if he hasn't reached his limit, it still makes his strength improve a lot.

But he can't perfectly control this explosive power, and can't completely turn it into a powerful combat force.

Ares walked out of the cabin and immediately found Garp and another green-bearded man fighting on the deck. "That helmeted, green-bearded guy should be the World Destroyer Bundy World that Ochoku mentioned, right?"

"Is this the great pirate of the sea... they're all so strong!"

This time he didn't participate in the battle.

Instead, he concentrated and carefully observed the battle between the two powerhouses. Such a great battle really broadened his horizons.

He deeply remembered the scene he saw at this time in his mind!

Ares, who had fused "a part" of different souls, was changing, and even his memory was strengthened and enhanced.

And at this time.

Ochoku jumped from the railing of the pirate ship and landed next to Ares, without saying a word, he directly wrapped his hands around his waist and picked him up.

"Ares, stop watching!"

He turned around and jumped onto the deck of the pirate ship with Ares, and immediately shouted to the others, "Quick, turn around!! Retreat!!"

Then he put Ares down.

Ochoku had an angry expression on his face, and he scolded Ares unceremoniously, "Ares, do you know that you almost killed everyone on the ship!!"

"You'll get into trouble if you're so reckless!"

"If the Marines hadn't intervened, and Bundy World hadn't held Garp back, we would have all been buried in this sea today!"

Without the appearance of the Marines, World alone could defeat everyone on the ship.

If World hadn't blocked Garp, Garp would have been able to defeat all the pirates on the ship.

It was extremely lucky that this kind of fluke situation happened twice, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"The captain said that fighting can hone oneself, I want to fight!" Ares replied in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Without experiencing tempering, how can I forge myself into a supreme sharp blade that surpasses the Supreme Grade Swords!"

This battle gave him a great harvest, his strength has improved a lot, and next, when he completely masters the results of this battle, he will improve even faster.

The repeated fist-to-fist collisions with Garp also made him feel that his body was a little stronger.

After listening to Ares' words, Ochoku was speechless, and then said: "Maybe you won't have such good luck next time, if a person dies on the road to pursuing his dream."

"Then his dream is not worth one Belly!"

"And if a person completes his dream, no matter what dirty and despicable means he uses, he is... great!"

"They are successful!"

"People will only see the final victor, and will never care to remember how many people have died on this road."

He knew that Ares was still young, and there was indeed a problem with his mind, but he had to say some things.

And had to teach!

If someone else was the captain today, maybe he would have abandoned Ares and slipped away long ago.

Ares nodded thoughtfully, silent, and he, who was already taciturn, seemed even more sullen.

He said faintly, "I'll go back to my room first."

He turned and left the deck.

Ochoku looked at Ares, who was bruised and purple all over, waved his hand, and asked someone to find the ship's doctor to treat Ares.

Then he began to lead people to clean up the mess on the deck.

His battle with World not only destroyed the mast on the ship, but also part of the deck, the ship's side, and the rooms, all of which needed to be cleaned and tidied up, and they also needed to find an island to repair the ship.

Back in his room, Ares sat alone on the hammock.

"I seem to be really wrong..."

"There is nothing wrong with pursuing dreams, but I didn't take care of others..."

After thinking for a while, Ares felt that he should pay attention next time.

A moment later.

The door of the room was pushed open, and the ship's doctor walked in with medicine.

Looking at Ares's burly and enormous figure, covered in bruises and contusions, he was still shocked.

He walked up to Ares, took out medical tools from the box, and said, "You're a lucky one, kid. To think you could last so long against Marine Vice Admiral Garp."

"Garp is one of the strongest in the Marines. He's captured and killed countless pirates."

After saying that, he began applying medicine to Ares's body.

The doctor's words made Ares recall Garp's appearance. His expression shifted, and he immediately asked the doctor, "Marine Vice Admiral Garp, who is he?"

The ship doctor paused his movements and asked in surprise, "You don't even know Marine Vice Admiral Garp?!"

Seeing Ares nod seriously, the ship doctor continued applying the medicine and explained, "He's an extremely famous Marine general. He's been a Marine for many years, even at the young age of 36."

"He, The Clever General Sengoku, Marine Vice Admiral Zephyr, and Vice Admiral Tsuru are among the strongest in the Marines right now."

(The current timeline is Marine Calendar 1480. Sengoku should be an Admiral this year at 37, because two years later, in Marine Calendar 1482, Zephyr became a Marine Admiral at 38.)

The ship doctor continued, "Their fighting power is about the same as the ship's Captain-level fighters, and some Captains aren't even their match."

"·········"

Ares listened patiently as the ship doctor explained some things about the Marines, gaining some understanding of them.

After the ship doctor finished applying the medicine.

His body was covered in white bandages. He asked the ship doctor, "Doctor, how long will it take for my injuries to heal? I want to get back to training as soon as possible."

This was Ares's biggest concern. Garp's fists were very damaging, and even now, he felt pain all over.

He hadn't felt it during the fight, but once that energy disappeared, the pain and impact of the injuries began to increase.

"It depends on how well your body recovers. It could be ten days if it's fast, or a month or two if it's slow." The ship doctor replied after thinking, after all, these were injuries left by Marine Vice Admiral Garp.

Moreover, he had examined them carefully. Such injuries didn't look like much, but they were actually quite destructive.

He had to treat them well and rest.

The doctor's answer instantly made the expression on Ares's face as withered as a cucumber, and his mood became depressed.

"Ares, don't even think about training until your injuries are healed. That will only damage your body, make your injuries harder to repair, and even leave hidden problems." The ship doctor once again reminded him with concern.

He even planned to go out and report Ares's situation to Ochoku, lest Ares mess around.

The ship doctor gave some more instructions and then left the room.

Ares had no choice but to lie on the hammock, close his eyes, and enter his mind.

He began his "special" training.

I will remember many of the supporting brothers and sisters, thank you all.
