"Ah! Yes!"
"Let's have a banquet! Let's have a banquet!!"
Upon hearing this, Roger immediately shouted happily, "Men, bring out all the best wine on the ship! Tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk!"
Roy watched Roger run off to arrange the banquet, wondering if he had finally understood.
Rayleigh looked awkwardly at the oblivious Roger, sighed, and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. Nevertheless, he still led the group toward the empty space.
" Roy, your Devil Fruit ability is truly amazing; it can even help others become stronger together."
"It's alright, it's quite simple to do that."
Shanks had just gotten up, looked disappointed.
"Isn't there any other way, Roy!"
Seeing Shanks's persistence, Roy was slightly surprised. It seemed that their strength had indeed made this future Four Emperors realize the gap between them.
After a moment's thought, I wonder if the future Marine Admiral ' Fujitora ' has eaten the Press-Press Fruit. In terms of manipulating gravity, that fruit is definitely more convenient than his Mixing Ability.
Thinking of this, Roy slowly spoke.
"However, I do know of a fruit that can do that,"
"Ah! What is it!"
Upon hearing Roy's words, Whitebeard's expression turned slightly more serious. Compared to the Roger Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates ' overall strength was somewhat lacking.
Aside from himself and Oden, they lacked strong individuals capable of standing alone, and seeing the potential shown by the Roy Pirates...
There are already three formidable individuals with considerable potential, not to mention the other crew members whose Devil Fruit abilities should not be underestimated.
After comparing the strength gap between the three parties, even the forty-something-year-old Whitebeard couldn't help but worry about the future of his 'sons'.
Looking at the expectant gazes of the crowd, Roy slowly began to speak.
"That's a Devil Fruit called the ' Press-Press Fruit,' which allows the user to manipulate gravity. If used properly, it can indeed significantly improve the team's training efficiency."
"However, I'm not sure if it's been eaten yet."
Shanks' eyes lit up at this, but then dimmed again.
"But Devil Fruit are so rare, they're too hard to find... and..." He glanced at Roger,
"Besides, I inherited Captain Roger's ambition to become strong without relying on Devil Fruit."
Upon hearing Shanks ' words, Buggy immediately recalled his unpleasant past and grabbed Shanks by the neck.
"Damn it, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be a landlubber..."
Roger, having given his instructions, walked over laughing and patted the two trainees on the head.
"Hahaha! If you want to become stronger, just train hard! I don't have a Devil Fruit ability, but I still became a strong person!"
Whitebeard looked thoughtfully at his crew.
Marco, Jozu, Vista... these kids all have great potential, if only they had better training methods...
"Kuralala..."
The Whitebeard suddenly burst into laughter.
" Roy, you've given us a good idea."
Rayleigh adjusted his glasses and smiled.
"Indeed, everyone has their own way of cultivating themselves; the key is to find the right method."
"Hey! Hey!"
"Since we're having a banquet, let's get started! I can already smell the barbecue!"
Kozuki Oden waved his arms excitedly, and Gaban also greeted everyone with a smile.
"Come on, come on, plenty of wine! Tonight we'll drink until we drop!"
Soon, members of the three pirate crews gathered around the campfire.
The aroma of fine wine and the scent of roasted meat filled the air, and the tense atmosphere from just moments ago had completely dissipated.
Bullet was still somewhat unconvinced, but he gradually relaxed under Whitebeard's generous encouragement to drink.
Hawk Eyes sat quietly beside Rayleigh, the two exchanging sword techniques in hushed tones.
Roy is surrounded by Shanks and Buggy, the two boys filled with curiosity about the Roy Pirates ' adventures.
"I heard that after you left the Sky Island, you caused a tsunami in the Sabaody Archipelago? Is that true?" Buggy asked curiously.
Seeing Roy nod, Buggy with the Red Nose looked disappointed.
"Damn it! Why is my Devil Fruit ability so weak? It's all Shanks' fault..."
Shanks, looking embarrassed, quickly changed the subject, pointing to Bullet, who was drinking with Whitebeard.
"Was the fruit that guy was carrying the one you stole from the Golden Lion?"
" Golden Lion!?" "Is that the great pirate who's on par with Hakuji!?" Kozuki Oden was passing by, heard the name and immediately came over.
"You actually managed to snatch something from someone like him?"
"That's nothing..." Tesoro, who appeared out of nowhere, said smugly.
"We almost killed Golden Lion a while ago, if Garp hadn't suddenly appeared..."
Tesoro's words silenced the surroundings for a moment, then erupted in gasps of amazement.
"Really?!"
Buggy's eyes widened, and his Red Nose gleamed slightly with excitement.
Shanks also dropped his joking expression and looked at Roy seriously.
"Have you become that strong?"
Kozuki Oden went straight up to Roy and patted him hard on the shoulder.
"So? Was that guy really that strong?"
The commotion attracted the attention of others as well.
Roger walked over with a wine glass in hand, a meaningful smile on his face.
"That guy Shiki is quite troublesome; it's truly remarkable that you managed to push him to this point."
The Whitebeard also held up a huge wine bowl, his voice booming:
"Kurarara! That arrogant guy Shiki, he must be looking awful knowing he's been cornered by a few young guys! Now I can laugh at him again!"
Roy took the glass of wine from Marco and smiled modestly.
"It was just luck. The Golden Lion's strength is indeed terrifying, and we paid a heavy price in that battle."
Bullet took a big gulp of his drink and snorted defiantly.
"If Garp hadn't suddenly appeared, we definitely could have taken that guy down!"
"That battle made us realize the gap between ourselves and the top experts, and it also showed us the direction to move forward," Hawk Eyes added calmly, wiping his Black Blade Yoru.
Rayleigh looked thoughtfully at the group of young people and whispered to Roger:
"It seems the tide of the new era is coming even more fiercely than we imagined."
The atmosphere at the banquet became even more lively because of this interlude.
The pirates from the three sides sat around the campfire, exchanging their adventure stories.
Fine wine was continuously poured, and the aroma of roasted meat filled the night air.
Seeing that everyone's attention had been diverted by Tesoro, Roy finally took a serious look at this samurai from Wano Country.
The 'legendary, resilient king' that netizens used to talk about in his past life, Lord Fool squandered a winning hand.
Putting everything else aside, just look at the introduction of him in the Wano Country arc: he started frequenting brothels at the age of six, and in his teens he stole other men's wives and built a harem in the back mountains.
Not to mention his questionable actions after returning to Wano Country, which made Roy dislike him even more.
