Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Training Plan

After taking Edward Newgate, Mongge's crew officially reached four members. From now on, Rocks wouldn't have to clean the deck alone every day; he'd have Edward Newgate to keep him company.

That's right.

Even though there was one more crew member, Rocks' status as an intern hadn't changed. Now, not only was he an intern, but Edward Newgate was also an intern.

Two future sea legends as interns?

Mongge smacked his lips.

He felt like life was becoming more and more promising.

And after he took in Whitebeard, the system, which had been barely noticeable, popped up a few more lines of text.

[Marine Era Year 1481, February. You encountered the future Sea Emperor, Whitebeard Edward Newgate. He greatly admires your crewmate Rocks#=&... and solemnly extends an invitation to you.]

["Become my son!"]

[Accept/Reject?]

[Ding~ Congratulations on becoming Whitebeard Edward Newgate's... father!?]

The characters that popped up on the system panel seemed to be stuck, and after a while, it was as if nothing had happened, continuing to display.

[You have achieved an impossible feat.]

[You have awakened Observation Haki Advanced Application: Future Sight · 1s. Confirmed that you have mastered Observation Haki Advanced Application. Rewards have been stacked.]

[You have mastered Observation Haki · Future Sight · 3s.]

System rewards can stack too!?

Recalling the rewards he received after "defeating" Rocks, like mastering the Six Powers, his proficiency in the Six Powers had long been maxed out, so even with stacked system rewards, there was no progress.

Observation Haki was different.

Although Mongge's Observation Haki had already reached the pinnacle level of future sight, seeing one second into the future was still seeing the future, and seeing ten seconds into the future was also seeing the future.

Mongge could only foresee the future within two seconds.

Now, with the system's stacked rewards, he could foresee the future within three seconds, effectively increasing his future sight time by half.

What about Armament Haki?

Mongge thought about the favorability quest related to Charlotte Linlin that offered a reward for advanced Armament Haki. He hadn't paid much attention to it before because he also knew advanced Armament Haki.

But if he could further enhance the strength of his Armament Haki, then even if he still couldn't use Conqueror's Haki's advanced application, he would definitely win more easily the next time he met Rona or Harald.

Because at his level, any improvement in Armament Haki or Observation Haki had become extremely difficult. His Devil Fruit ability, physique, swordsmanship, and Haki were all developed to their limits. Any slight improvement could bring about a qualitative change in his strength.

Moreover, the system's rewards were not over yet.

In addition to the rewards for Haki improvement, there were also rewards for regular cell activity enhancement and a Devil Fruit with strange patterns.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

This was much more generous than the rewards Mongge received when he first defeated Rocks.

"I was wondering where I was going to find a Tremor-Tremor Fruit for that kid. Now, the system just gave me one."

Mongge was in a great mood.

Even without the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard still possessed top-tier Haki, but having it was definitely different from not having it.

However, Mongge didn't plan to give the Tremor-Tremor Fruit directly to Edward Newgate. Instead, he intended to train him like he had trained Rocks.

Moreover, he had to consider Rocks' feelings to some extent.

Mongge knew Rocks' future achievements.

But Rocks didn't!

No matter how much he boasted that Haki had a higher future ceiling than Devil Fruit abilities, the immediate strength increase brought by Devil Fruit abilities was real.

Mongge devised a training plan.

From now on, Mongge would frequently lecture Lipri, Rocks, and Newgate. After the lectures, he would train Lipri, Lipri would train Rocks, and Rocks would train Newgate.

Occasionally, there would be ranking matches.

The gap between the three might be large now, but the harder it became to improve strength later on, the more the gap between the three would gradually shrink.

Lipri and Rocks' goals were to further master Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

Newgate's goal was to learn the Six Powers.

The deadline would be tentatively set for one year.

Meanwhile, at Sphinx, another piece of news was brewing.

The White Wolf Pirates had stolen Celestial Gold!

This kind of news couldn't be kept secret, especially since many workers were accompanying the escort ship when Mongge and his crew repelled the Marines.

With so many people, how could the news be kept quiet?

The reason it took until now for the news to spread was the pressure exerted by the World Government and the Marines, as it was a blow to the prestige of the World Government and even the Celestial Dragons.

But the one-month deadline had long passed, even though the World Government had repeatedly ordered the Marines to find Moger's White Wolf Pirates as soon as possible.

But the sea was so vast, if they couldn't find him, they couldn't find him!

So the news finally reached Sphinx.

"Heavens, as expected of the White Wolf Pirates, they actually dared to rob the Celestial Gold that the affiliated nations contributed to the Celestial Dragons!"

"That's Celestial Gold, no wonder there are so many treasures on the black market lately that are usually unseen. So they were all stolen from the Celestial Dragons."

"Hahaha, good job robbing them, excellent! Those damned Celestial Dragons are finally getting what they deserve!"

"..."

A group of pirates were all shocked by the White Wolf Pirates' audacity. After all, the White Wolf Pirates' actions were essentially slapping the World Government in the face.

If it were before, they might have had some thoughts about these treasures. No matter how strong White Wolf Moger was, could he stop them from swarming him?

Then, the facts proved that he really could!

The three Great Pirate crews that had originally occupied Sphinx had all fallen. Even if these small pirate crews gathered together, they wouldn't be enough for Moger to defeat with one hand.

A legendary Great Pirate!

In the eyes of some pirates, Moger already had the demeanor of those legendary pirates who had once dominated the seas. All he lacked was a battle to make his name.

Even defeating two or three ordinary Great Pirates proved nothing.

The only thing that could prove his strength was--

A Marine Admiral!

"Achoo!"

Kizaru, one of the Three Admirals of the Marines, lay on a deck chair on the warship. Half a month of hard work had nearly drained his body, making even the two beautiful female slaves beside him uninteresting.

"Admiral Kizaru, please restrain yourself. What if we encounter the White Wolf Pirates..."

"Don't I still have you?"

Jiangma Sebas pouted and said indifferently, "I know that old fellow White Wolf Moger's strength best. Without playing some tricks, his strength is inferior to yours. Even if he's improved a bit, he couldn't possibly defeat us two working together."

"Pity this old man, I'm about to retire, yet I'm still being pulled out for overtime."
