章 362: 361 Crew Training – Kuzan Request
Kuzan is responsible for the actual combat tasks of these six main commanders, who can challenge him at any time. Therefore, Kuzan has to complain to Whitebeard.
"Oyaji, there are several stages in their actual combat missions, right? Will I still be involved in the subsequent stages?"
Kuzan tentatively asked Whitebeard, feeling very worried.
"Guurarara, don't worry, your hard work is only temporary. After the first stage is over, you can take a good rest,"
Whitebeard said to him with a smile.
"That's good"
Kuzan breathed a sigh of relief.
Whitebeard also knew that this matter was a bit hard for Kuzan, so he wanted to compensate him.
"Kuzan, after all your hard work, you can make a wish, and I'll do my best to help you fulfill it,"
Whitebeard said to him.
Kuzan thought carefully, then replied, "In that case, I won't hold back. I hope to improve my strength."
"Improve strength?"
Whitebeard was a little surprised. Kuzan is already very strong, and he himself isn't someone who really likes fighting. How could he make such a request?
Moreover, the request to improve strength is quite broad, without a specific plan, so Whitebeard finds it a bit strange.
"How do you want to improve your actual strength?"
Whitebeard asked.
"I hope my Oyaji can help me find an opponent, someone almost equal strength to me,"
Kuzan said lazily.
"Can you tell me why you want to improve your strength? You should be strong enough to deal with Akainu as you are now,"
Whitebeard asked.
Kuzan's current strength has improved a lot compared to his strength at the Summit War, so Whitebeard was a little surprised.
"Oyaji, you don't know, Akainu's strength has also improved, and his Lava-Lava Fruit somewhat restrains my ability. So I must become stronger. If I meet him in the future, I want to be able to fight him,"
Kuzan said.
"That's it." 3
Whitebeard nodded, and understood Kuzan's determination.
However, fulfilling Kuzan's request proved a bit difficult for Whitebeard. Finding someone with similar strength to him? There's no one else on his ship like that. The strongest besides him is Marco, but he and Kuzan are not evenly matched; there's quite a gap between them.
Looking at the whole world, finding someone with the same strength as a Marine Admiral is nearly impossible. After all, that's already world-class combat power.
"If we can find that guy…."
Whitebeard suddenly thought of a candidate he believed was equally strong enough to fight Kuzan right now
And the person Whitebeard considered was Enel. He tried to contact him once before.
Enel has the Thunder-Thunder Fruit, giving him powerful lightning power and unique abilities like the heart-network. Without the Rubber-Rubber Fruit, Luffy wouldn't have stood a chance against him.
After being defeated by Luffy, Enel, the former ruler of Sky Island, vanished with his Ark Maxim to the moon, leaving his whereabouts unknown.
However, Whitebeard had previously sent Jozu to Sky Island to contact him. Despite Enel's departure from Sky Island, he still holds a strong connection to it.
So far, there's been no news from Enel despite Jozu's visit. Whitebeard is patiently waiting for Enel's response, hoping for his arrival.
If Enel can join the Whitebeard Pirates, then the combat power of the Whitebeard Pirates can naturally be greatly improved.
"If we can find that person, I think he'd make a good opponent for you,"
Whitebeard said, agreeing to Kuzan's request.
Hearing Whitebeard's words, Kuzan became interested and asked: "Who is it? Do I know him?"
"Guurarara, you might not know this person, but you may have heard of him. He name is Enel,"
Whitebeard said.
"Enel?"
Kuzan seemed unfamiliar with the name, which wasn't surprising. Just because he was a Marine Admiral before doesn't mean he knows everything.
"Yeah, Enel is powerful, but tracking him down won't be easy,"
Whitebeard acknowledged.
"If we can't find Enel, then you'll have to find me another opponent,"
Kuzan insisted.
"Guurarara, you're quite stubborn with your request. Well, I'll promise you,"
Whitebeard laughed.
...…
During the following time, Marco and the other commanders began their arduous training. They practiced day and night to prepare for the first phase of the actual combat mission.
These commanders challenge Kuzan every once in a while. Although they improve a little each time, progress is still slow.
During this time, there were no major events in the entire New World. Everything seemed peaceful and quiet. Although it's still chaotic in places, that's just normal in the New World.
However, within the Whitebeard pirate territory, everything seemed harmonious. The Fish-Men Island, Whole Cake Island, and all Whitebeard-related forces were free from pirate trouble.
But that was expected. With Whitebeard's status and prestige, no pirate dared to challenge him. Even harassing his territory would be seen as a declaration of war.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed. At this point, Marco and the others had successfully completed the first phase of their task.
Their days and nights of hard work finally paid off. It's worth mentioning that Marco was the first to successfully challenge Kuzan, which encouraged the others to follow suit.
Once all six of them passed, Whitebeard arranged the second phase of the task for them.
Marco and the others gathered before Whitebeard. He looked at each of them and said, "Congratulations on completing the first phase of the actual combat mission. But that's just the beginning. The second phase is to defeat Weevil and Wolf."
Upon hearing about the second phase of the task, Marco and the others were shocked. Weevil and Wolf were formidable opponents individually, let alone together. It would definitely be more difficult to defeat them together.
"Oyaji, is it going to be too hard?"
Marco asked if it wouldn't be too tough. Dealing with one of them alone, he'd be confident, but facing both together is hardly impossible for him now .
