Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Training Plan

With Edward Newgate joining, Magnus'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.

Although he had gained a new crewmate, Rocks' status as an intern hadn't changed. Now, not only was he an intern, but Edward Newgate was one too.

Two future legends of the sea working as interns?

Magnus smacked his lips.

He felt like his days were becoming more and more promising.

After he accepted Whitebeard, a few lines of text appeared before his eyes from the system, which had previously been barely noticeable.

[Marineford Calendar Year 1481, February. You encountered the future Emperor of the Sea, 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 the father of Whitebeard Edward Newgate!?]

The characters that popped up on the system panel seemed to be stuck, and after a while, as if nothing had happened, they continued to appear.

[You have achieved an impossible feat.]

[You have awakened an advanced application of Observation Haki – Precognition · 1s. It is confirmed that you have mastered the advanced application of Observation Haki. Rewards have been stacked.]

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

The system rewards could be stacked!?

Recalling the rewards he received after "defeating" Rocks back then, like mastering the Marine Six Powers, his proficiency in the Six Powers had already been maxed out. Therefore, even with stacked system rewards, there was no further progress.

Observation Haki was different.

Although Magnus's Observation Haki had already reached the pinnacle of being able to predict the future, predicting one second into the future was still predicting, and predicting ten seconds was also predicting.

Magnus could only predict the future within two seconds.

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

What about Armament Haki?

Magnus remembered that there was a favorability quest related to Charlotte Linlin that rewarded advanced Armament Haki. He hadn't paid much attention to it before because he could also use advanced Armament Haki.

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

Because at his level, any improvement in either Armament Haki or Observation Haki had become extremely difficult. His Devil Fruit ability, physique, swordsmanship, and Haki had all been 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 the usual increase in cell activity, and a Devil Fruit with strange patterns.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

This was much more generous than the reward Magnus received when he first defeated Rocks.

"I was wondering where I would find a Tremor-Tremor Fruit for that kid. Now, the system has directly given me one."

Magnus was in high spirits.

Even without the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard possessed top-tier Haki in all three types, but having it was certainly different from not having it.

However, Magnus did not intend to give the Tremor-Tremor Fruit directly to Edward Newgate. Instead, he planned to train him like he had trained Rocks.

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

Magnus knew about Rocks' future achievements.

But Rocks didn't!

No matter how much he boasted that Haki's future potential was higher than Devil Fruit abilities, the power growth brought by Devil Fruit abilities in the early stages was substantial.

Magnus devised a training plan.

In the future, Magnus would often lecture Ripley, Rocks, and Newgate. After the lectures, he would train Ripley, Ripley 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 further they progressed, the more difficult the improvement of their strength would become, and the gap between the three would gradually narrow.

Ripley 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 set at one year for now.

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

The White Wolf Pirates had stolen Celestial Gold!

Such news could not be kept secret, especially since many workers had accompanied the escort ships when Magnus and his crew repelled the Marines.

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

The reason it had taken this long for the news to surface was because the World Government and the Marines had applied pressure, as it was a blow to the prestige of the World Government and even the Celestial Dragons.

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

But the sea is so vast, if you can't find them, you can't find them!

And so, the news finally reached Sphinx.

"Heavens, as expected of the White Wolf Pirates, they even dare to steal the Celestial Gold that the allied nations contribute to the Celestial Dragons!"

"That's Celestial Gold! No wonder so many treasures that are usually unseen have appeared on the black market recently. It turns out they were all stolen from the Celestial Dragons."

"Hahaha, good job stealing it, a great job! Those damn Celestial Dragons are finally getting what they deserve!"

"."

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

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

Then, the facts proved that he really could!

The three major pirate crews that originally occupied Sphinx had all fallen. Even if these smaller pirate crews gathered together, they wouldn't be a match for Magnus's single hand.

A legendary pirate!

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

Even if an ordinary great pirate defeated two or three others, it wouldn't prove anything.

The only thing that could prove his strength was—

A Marine Admiral!

"Achoo!"

Jiang Ma, one of the three Marine Admirals, lay on a beach chair on a warship. Half a month of hard work had nearly drained his body, and he found the two beautiful female slaves beside him uninteresting.

"Admiral Jiang Ma, please restrain yourself. What if you encounter the White Wolf Pirates..."

"Don't I still have you?"

Jiang Ma Sebas pouted and said indifferently, "I know that old guy White Wolf Magnus's strength best. Without a few tricks, his strength isn't as good as yours. Even if he's made some progress, he can't possibly defeat us two working together."

"Poor old me, I'm almost retired, yet I'm still being pulled out to work overtime."
