The Straw Hat crew was enduring Kakashi's hellish training.
Now Kakashi understood how Uchiha Mai felt.
As he trained the Straw Hat crew, he also looked forward to seeing what they would accomplish.
At their current level, they were still no match for the Marines' elite fighters.
If they went to rescue Ace like this...
They would all die there.
Naturally, Kakashi did not know that Fleet Admiral Sengoku intended to lure Whitebeard out. Besides, Luffy was fate's chosen one; he would not die so easily.
