Chapitre 52: Future Emperor (Yonko). Shanks
"John, you've seen what I'm made of, huh?"
After all the business was settled, Garp strutted cockily, proudly showing himself to John.
He was so proud of himself that it was impossible to look at him...
John didn't know whether to cry or laugh, Garp's character was really funny, in a word, it was like a child's character.
No one else at that age would have dared to behave this way, but Garp behaved this way, and it was so natural that it was not annoying.
Giving a thumbs up, John exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Amazing, Vice Admiral Garp's strike was truly amazing, that what's-his-name Dong Qingjao, known as the iron head, was demolished with just one strike from you."
"Wahahahahaha."
Listening to John praise him, Garp's face became even prouder and he patted John on the shoulder.
"I count on your understanding, isn't my fist very strong? If you train like me, even if you can't reach my level, you can become number one in the future, my technique is much better than your fruiter powers."
John rolled his eyes, Garp was too smug, I admit that Garp's iron fist was strong, but that doesn't mean his ability is inferior, I feel like the potential of my ability is much greater and he might be able to surpass Garp in the future.
"Since we're here in West Blue, there's no need to rush back, it's worth taking a nice walk around West Blue."
Garp is a master when it comes to his comfort, and although this mission was over, he didn't think of returning right away, instead he was ready to stay in West Blue and have a good rest.
Garp, the captain, made up his mind, and naturally none of his subordinates objected.
In the following days, John saw how much he loved Garp's good food, every time he passed through the island, he went to the island in search of good food, the main thing is that he took subordinates with him every time and never paid for food, everything paid by subordinates.
After following them several times, John lost interest in them and stayed on the warship or on the island for training.
P/n: Large-scale techniques on a ship are difficult to train.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
John finally understood why Garp did not want to become an admiral, I am afraid that his reluctance to serve Teneryubito was only part of the reason, more than anything he was afraid of losing his freedom.
If he became an admiral, he would not have the freedom that he has now, he would not be able to return to Marineford for two months, he would not be able to ignore the headquarters, and he would not be able to travel alone..
But John was jealous of Garp's lifestyle, Garp's lifestyle was more free than anyone else's on patrol.
But he understood well that Garp could have such freedom because he was strong, if he were not strong enough, how could he have such a free lifestyle.
Sailing past the island, John disembarked from the warship and walked towards the empty shore of the island.
All this time, he had been training on his physical skills under Garp, and much less training on his devil fruit powers, and while Garp was away, he decided to find an open place to train his fruit fruit powers.
Standing on top of a huge rock, John first used his ability to create a tree several meters tall, and then controlled the tree, causing it to change its shape.
The tree could be seen changing under John's control, the branches on the tree were slowly shortening....
John's face was slightly perspiring, and after a few moments he exhaled heavily.
"Ugh, bad luck again, it shouldn't be like this, I can easily control trees, and I can make the branches shrink, but why is it so difficult to make trees take a human form?"
He tried to turn the tree he created into a wooden man, following the example of Mokuton's "Wood Golem" technique.
In his opinion, it shouldn't have been difficult, but when he actually tried to put it into practice, he found that it wasn't easy at all.
John, who has experimented many times, has still not succeeded in creating a wooden golem.
No, not at all. He could make a small wooden golem, but every time he tried to make a big one, he failed.
Either they were malformed and couldn't attack properly, or they were too fragile and weren't as strong and fast as he wanted them to be.
He knew that it was very easy for him to turn trees into planks, spikes, and so on, but how could it be so difficult to create a large wooden golem?
Experiment after experiment, repetition after repetition, John always felt that something was missing, although there were times when he could force, to take the form of a wooden golem, but after taking the form, the wooden golem was not as strong as he thought, not very different from the strength of ordinary trees.
"What the hell is going on, is something missing? But what exactly is missing?
Unable to create the wooden golem he wanted, John knew something was missing, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
While John was thinking about how to evolve the wooden golem, several teenagers walked towards the place where it was located.
"Hey Shanks, are you sure you want to do this? Go to sea with us, we'll be pirates, not play games."
"No, I'll go, I'm going to become a pirate too, I want to be the freest pirate that can exist."
There were five teenagers in total, all of them were very young, the oldest was only 17 or 18 years old, and the youngest, oddly enough, was one meter forty-five meters tall, and he looked at most ten years old.
And what these teenagers said is even more surprising, they are so young, and already want to become pirates.
"Shanks, you are only nine years old, even if you want to become a pirate, wait a few more years, you are too young, you will drag us down."
"Yes Shanks, you are still too young, when we make a name for ourselves, in a few years, we will come back and take you with us."
"I don't believe you guys, if you go out to sea without me, I will report you to the patrol and ask you to be arrested."
"Yo-ho-ho, Shanks, you have the nerve to blackmail us."
"If you weren't so small, I'd beat you up pretty good, Shanks, be smart and get out of your way."
"You want to beat me? I will beat you, you are much older than me, you can't even beat me, and you have the audacity to say that you won't take me with you, without me you will be quickly caught by the watch."
"Shanks, you're a real pain in the ass, can't I beat you up? Before, it was because I looked at you like a child and succumbed to you, believe it or not, but now I will show you all my strength."
"Come on, fight me if you can."
"Hey, I still don't believe I can't beat you up."
From their conversation, several teenagers could be heard walking and arguing at the same time.
These teenagers were preparing to go to sea as pirates, but there was a conflict between them, the youngest of them wanted to follow the others, but the others did not want to take him, and an argument broke out between them.
"Come on, what are you arguing about, I'll tell you....."
"Wait, there's a lookout ahead."
Suddenly, one teenager spoke anxiously and pointed forward, scaring the other teenagers, who hurried to find cover and hide, and looked towards the road.
