Chương 216: 215 Whitebeard’s personal guidance
Marco still sought to justify their shortcomings, but Whitebeard showed them no mercy.
"Marco, don't say too much. I can see it clearly. Even without Garp's interference, you were still at a disadvantage"
While speaking, Whitebeard's expression carried a sense of majesty, and even Marco remained silent at that moment.
In truth, while Whitebeard was angry, he didn't reach a boiling point.
He simply aimed to use this approach to deter everyone.
Whitebeard understands that as the situation unfolds, there will be more and more wars coming their way
Especially recently, Whitebeard has been wanting to deal with Blackbeard. Whitebeard harbors strong dislike for the ambitious and cunning Blackbeard.
However, Blackbeard has now become one of the Four Emperors and has amassed numerous followers.
If he truly wants to expand, Whitebeard can't personally protect every one of his men.
Yet, if they aren't strong enough, the losses could be even more severe.
If each of his sons is strong to some extent, certain losses can be prevented.
Therefore, Whitebeard wishes for them all to grow stronger, and for that to happen, they must first embrace the mindset of becoming stronger.
Whitebeard has been instilling this idea in them, attempting to ignite a strong desire for self-improvement.
But he realized that this alone wasn't enough ; this approach failed to instill the strong motivation he sought.
Hence, Whitebeard believes the best approach is to make them feel frustrated. Only by letting them experience setbacks can they find the motivation to improve.
This is why Whitebeard didn't block all of Kizaru's attacks, nor did he completely protect his crew.
He simply wants them to experience and fight on their own, rather than thinking they're invincible with Whitebeard always at their side.
While there is some truth to this, maintaining such a mentality can significantly suppress their potential strength.
This way, how can he have unique and effective Admiral-level strength under his command?
Seizing this opportunity, when the Marines dispatched a significant force to attack them.
Whitebeard naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to criticize and educate them.
"Starting today, I hope you all will practice diligently. I might as well inform you that I'll be initiating a big action soon"
"This operation is crucial for us. I expect everyone to be on their toes and to avoid any significant casualties"
"I have plenty of commanders, but only a few can truly make a difference. Give it some thought, will you?"
"Alright, everyone else, disband. Marco, Vista, and Vane, you stay"
Whitebeard called out. The others disbanded and left.
Marco, Vista, and Charles Vane stood there, uncertain about what their Oyaji was about to say to them.
After standing in silence for a while, Whitebeard didn't speak.
The three of them exchanged glances. Unable to resist, Marco asked, "Oyaji, what's on your mind?"
"Do any of you have thoughts about this battle with the Marines? Speak one by one"
Whitebeard said, scanning the faces of the three before asking.
Marco spoke first:"This time, the Marines are well-prepared. Although the number of Marine soldiers isn't large, and the number of Vice Admirals is much less than our commanders."
"However, the Marines have formidable firepower. They came this time to interfere with our pirate meeting, so they've prepared a lot of powerful weapons"
"The commanders of our pirates were occupied with resisting these artillery shots, and later on, I got restrained by the powerful fighters on the other side, making it difficult to support others"
After Marco finished speaking, he looked at Whitebeard cautiously. Whitebeard showed neither anger nor comfort.
"These are just excuses. Regardless of how strong the other party is, we need to find reasons within ourselves. Why aren't we strong enough?"
Whitebeard's faint voice echoed like thunder, making them feel deafened.
"I understand what Oyaji is saying!"
Marco suddenly realized
"So, what about you?"
Whitebeard turned his gaze to Vista.
As a skilled swordsman, Vista sliced through a lot of artillery in the previous battle and was also restrained by a Marine Vice Admiral.
The strength of Marine Vice Admirals varies greatly, but those from Marine Headquarters are generally stronger.
Therefore, Vista felt that he had given his best effort.
"Oyaji, I'll definitely be stronger next time!"
the old man's meaning, Vista didn't dwell on thoughts about the previous battle. He promptly promised to put in more effort in his training.
At that moment, Charles Vane didn't wait for Whitebeard's inquiry; he took the initiative to speak:
"Oyaji, I'll definitely work hard, but I hope you can personally guide us so we can avoid unnecessary detours"
Charles Vane said. Hearing his words, Whitebeard couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
He could discern his thoughts just by observing the subtle expression on Charles Vane's face.
Whitebeard personally instructed Marco, and he asked Red-Haired Shanks to guide Vista. As for Jozu, while he didn't receive direct guidance, he was assigned to complete a significant task.
Only Charles Vane, although officially listed by Whitebeard as one of the five powerful fighters, felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
"Guurarara, can I personally guide you in your training? Okay, but you have to put in ten times more effort than usual. Are you willing?"
Whitebeard agreed as well. It was part of his plan, and now that they had suggested it, he naturally intended to raise the stakes.
Hearing the mention of ten times, Charles Vane's expression suddenly changed, and he began to hesitate.
After hesitating for a moment, they exchanged glances, as if finding assurance in each other's eyes.
The three spoke at the sam etime
"Oyaji, we are willing to work ten times harder!"
"Good, good!"
Whitebeard felt immediate relief.
Training like this, being forced by outsiders is useless, and the effects won't show up at all.
Only if they make the decision themselves can they achieve twice the result with half the effort!
So, Whitebeard began preparing for their training. Of course, during this period, Whitebeard would also oversee the training of the other commanders.
However, for Marco and the others, Whitebeard personally provided guidance, not because he was eccentric.
As for the other commanders, since they haven't reached their limits, their strength can be enhanced through their individual training.
However, observing Marco and the other three, their strengths have all reached a bottleneck.
At this point, if outsiders provide guidance, the training efficiency will be extremely high; they need someone to refine their skills.
