Aokiji had been keeping an eye on the battlefield, looking for an opportunity to strike.
However, these pirates had yet to force Fujitora out, and Rayleigh and Vista were nearby as well. That was what made things difficult for him.
Though he was very strong, Aokiji could not be like Crow Bro and simply say, "If it's difficult, then don't do it." At present, he lacked both the strength and courage to flip the table.
Half a day later, Enel, who was taking Ryan out to walk the dog, noticed that the captain in his arms seemed to have moved.
Ryan's eyelids twitched faintly as he tried to open his eyes, but it was extremely difficult. No matter how hard he tried, he could not open them. Watching him repeatedly struggle like that gave Enel the urge to punch someone.
Only then did Enel remember that he seemed to have a shock therapy method.
Palm Thunder surged in Enel's hand, and a streak of electricity shot toward Ryan's chest.
"Thump! Thump!"
Ryan's heart began to beat powerfully, the sound clear enough to hear. Enel, who was holding Ryan, felt it especially clearly.
Suddenly, Ryan's eyes snapped open.
"What's going on?" After looking around, Ryan realized that they seemed to be fleeing for their lives, and he was actually in Enel's arms.
I'm filthy!
That was Enel's first thought.
He simply could not accept being held in a man's arms. Robin should have been the one holding him right now.
"Keep stalling for a while," Ryan said calmly, then began exchanging food from the system space to replenish his strength.
Though he had never learned Life Return, he could achieve the same effect with his powerful physique, rapidly converting the energy in food into stamina and recovering his strength quickly.
"Alright!"
