Streusen felt troubled. Linlin had entrusted this task to him, but now he had no idea where to begin.
Today, he had witnessed Ares's immense strength once again.
He estimated that Ares's strength was at least five times Kaido's!!
That was a truly terrifying figure!
With strength like that, even if he himself fought Ares, he had no guarantee of victory. He still had no clear idea just how strong Ares was.
The main issue was that Kaido, who had learned Armament Haki, had been defeated far too quickly and completely in Ares's hands!
Streusen was beginning to feel the pressure.
"Ares is this strong, and with Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Ochoku, and the others around him, it really won't be easy to complete the task Linlin assigned me!"
For now, he could only take things one step at a time. His gaze settled on the enormous Kaido standing before him.
He felt a surge of relief. Fortunately, there's Kaido. Now that Kaido has also mastered Armament Haki, I hope Linlin won't discard the old for the new so quickly.
········
After Kaido and Streusen left.
"Well done!" Golden Lion laughed loudly as he slapped Ares's broad, round-shield-like shoulder and praised him. "You should've beaten that brat Kaido into the ground! You had to make him despair completely!"
Whitebeard also laughed and praised him. "Gurararara... Ares, after you train your Body Arts for a while longer, you'll be able to train on your own. A true strongman has to constantly draw experience from battle and grow stronger!!"
"Only battles of life and death can truly bring out the potential hidden within the human body."
What delighted him was how tremendous Ares's growth had been. Whitebeard was beginning to feel that he had almost nothing left to teach Ares.
Ares nodded heavily.
