Bab 354: 353 Training Plan for the crew
Aokiji didn't want to fight with the Marines. After all, he was trained by them since he was a child. He learned everything from them. Fighting the Marines would seem ungrateful.
So, Aokiji hopes there won't be a big fight between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines in the future. But that might be wishful thinking, because it's unlikely to be avoided.
Seeing Aokiji sigh, Whitebeard quickly approached to comfort him, asking, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy because you think you will fight Marines in the future?"
"Don't worry, Oyaji. Ever since I joined the Whitebeard Pirates, my loyalty lies with them"
Aokiji reassured Whitebeard
Whitebeard nodded, trusting Aokiji's character. But sensing Aokiji's sadness, he added, "You want to fight back, huh? If you ever face the Marines, you won't be alone. Something like revenge, maybe?"
"The current Marine is under Akainu's command. He runs the Marine Headquarters, basically answering to Akainu. He's the one who injured your leg and arm. That's serious stuff. It wouldn't be just a small deal if you give him some trouble."
After Whitebeard finished speaking, Aokiji felt a bit better.
He realized Whitebeard was right. Akainu was now his enemy, and if they did end up fighting, he could hold back a bit for the Marines.
After sailing for several months, the Whitebeard Pirates returned to the Noah Ship. There, Whitebeard started retraining Marco and the others.
On that day, Whitebeard gathered Marco, the other commander, and also the close guard such as Benjamin and Sanjuan Wolf.
He spoke in a commanding tone, "I've given you all a long vacation, but now it's time to get back to serious training."
"Are we going back to tough training again? Sounds exhausting."
Charles Vane suddenly complained. He's not afraid of hard work, he just wants to get stronger. But he'll miss spending time with Smoothie.
"You guys used to be full of fighting spirit. Don't tell me you're afraid of training now?"
Jozu teased with a laugh.
"People need to spend time with women, it's like us single guys"
Vista said right away.
Everyone suddenly laughed, and Whitebeard continued: "Don't worry, you won't train for too long each day, but we'll increase the intensity."
"Oyaji, are you going to assign tasks to us like before and let me handle them?"
Marco asked.
However, Whitebeard shook his head and explained, "Just sticking to the same training routine won't help you improve much. What you need now is real combat experience."
"Real combat?"
Several people were a little surprised.
"Yes, I'll lay out some missions for you. Complete each stage, then you can move on to the next. Once you finish all the missions, you won't need any more training,"
Whitebeard explained to his sons.
Hearing that, Charles Vane and the others suddenly brightened up. According to this, once they finished all the mission plans, they wouldn't have to train with others all the time.
"Oyaji, if I finish all the mission plans in just one day, does that mean I won't have to train that day?"
Charles Vane asked in a happy tone.
"Yes, that's right, if you're capable of that," Whitebeard affirmed.
"Hmph, look at me, I believe in myself. I can definitely do it!"
Charles Vane said, his fist clenched, full of confidence.
"This is the first time the old man has accepted training from Oyaji. I hope it won't be too difficult"
Jinbei said, igniting some fighting spirit.
"As long as I don't end up at the bottom, I'm okay"
Tesla said, not expecting much from himself since he knew he couldn't match the commander of this group of monsters.
Seeing the increased fighting spirit in the group, Whitebeard nodded in satisfaction. However, he noticed Benjamin seemed hesitant, lacking confidence in himself.
"Benjamin, what's wrong? You have the most room to improve in strength. Aren't you confident?"
Whitebeard asked, concerned.
"No, I just have a problem." Benjamin said hesitantly.
"What's the problem?" Whitebeard asked.
"Shouldn't the mission plans be different for each of us?"
Benjamin asked.
"Of course they're different. Your strengths and talents are different. I have different expectations for each of you, especially you. You're now the chief of staff of the Whitebeard Pirates and my close guard. You need to improve your strength as soon as possible"
"Come on"
Whitebeard said.
When Whitebeard said this, Benjamin felt a lot of pressure.
He didn't have much confidence in himself, especially because he failed to master Marine Six Styles back when he was in the Marine training camp.
So Benjamin lacks confidence in his talents. When he first joined the Whitebeard Pirates, he was full of fighting spirit.
But after seeing such a mighty master and strong crew, Benjamin felt more and more insignificant.
Even though he's now the Master of the Dark Fruit, he still feels small compared to the aura of those strong men, so Benjamin worries he might not perform well.
"Oyaji, I didn't expect you to be so caring, personally guiding their training. No wonder Jozu improved so much before,"
Aokiji said as he walked over.
"Guurarara, it's not me who guides them personally, but you"
Whitebeard suddenly smiled. He was looking for Aokiji, but he didn't expect him to come by himself.
"Me?"
Aokiji was taken aback, confusion evident in his eyes
"With your Admiral's strength, you can easily help me train them. Since you're here, let's discuss it together,"
Whitebeard said.
Later, Whitebeard explained the goal of the first phase: to withstand 50 rounds of Aokiji's full attacks.
Fifty rounds is the average, but some, like Marco and Benjamin, have different targets.
Marco is hard to defeat, so he needs to endure eighty rounds, Jozu seventy, and Benjamin, with less combat experience, only twenty.
Everyone else basically needs to endure fifty rounds. After Whitebeard finished explaining the rules, the duel training began immediately. First up was Marco against the Aokiji
Marco is the strongest among the commanders, and Whitebeard has high expectations for him. Aokiji's physical strength is undoubtedly the best at this time.
