Kaido strode briskly toward where Ares was training.
The fighting spirit in his eyes seemed to have formed into tangible flames, burning ever more fiercely within his pupils!
Streusen had to run at full speed with his short legs just to keep up. That was the drawback of being small and short-legged.
The blazing sun hung high in the sky.
It was now early July, and the weather had gradually begun to grow hotter.
It had been nearly a month and a half since Ares joined the Rocks Pirates.
At that moment, Ares stood beneath the scorching sun, bathed in the sweltering heat, carrying a hill nearly the size of a twenty- or thirty-story building as he performed squats.
This small hill weighed at least dozens of tons, yet Ares carried it on his shoulders and back while doing deep squats.
His already incredibly thick arms had nearly doubled in circumference as his muscles swelled.
Veins as thick as pirate ship ropes crisscrossed over Ares's bulging muscles. His broad, rounded shoulders were like two circular steel shields, while his proud chest, graceful muscle lines, and solid physique were as sturdy and hard as iron pillars.
"Two thousand one hundred thirty-seven..."
"Ha!"
"Two thousand one hundred thirty-eight..."
"Hey!"
"..."
The sweat on Ares's body had barely stopped for even a second. Beneath him was a pool of dark sweat stains, and even the scorching heat could not evaporate the sweat on the ground in a short time.
Whitebeard, sitting beneath a large tree to enjoy the shade, could not help but sigh. "What a hardworking kid!"
In his thirties, Whitebeard could only see the teenage Ares as a child.
"In less than a month, Ares has grown faster than others do in several months, or even one or two years." Golden
