"Captain, it's finished! Every little modification. This ship can hold ten times the speed as before."
"This means you can move this ship at the speed of sound and it will still hold its part without any damage."
Adam jumped out from the Lower Deck and spoke.
"Is that so?"
Tyler smiled. At this moment, the sun was setting on the horizon.
"Captain, let's not try at such speed during nighttime. A simple collision can lead to devastating results."
Miya informed him with a serious expression.
Hearing her words, Tyler couldn't help but remember the Titanic's collision. He quickly nodded.
"Yeah! Let's travel at night. We will speed up tomorrow. I have been training with my Devil Fruit for a while."
"Frank, I am hungry."
"Captain, food is ready!"
"Then, what are you waiting here for?"

Next Day;
Tyler yawned and walked out of the men's quarters.
When he walked out, he saw that Adam was already awake.
Since they got a new ship, they had made a habit of sleeping at different times so that someone would be awake most times.
The one to sleep fastest was Adam. He would go to bed at nine. Then, it would be Miya who goes to bed at ten.
Since he had slept at twelve before, Tyler decided he would sleep exactly at that time.
Frank slept at two in the morning. But Adam would only wake up at four, sleeping for seven hours.
Then, Miya would wake up at six, sleeping for eight hours, while Tyler would wake up at eight.
He wanted to wake up early, but since he was pushing his body to the absolute limit every day, he decided to get at least eight hours of sleep.
Frank would wake up around six, sleeping only for four hours. Originally, Tyler rejected this kind of sleeping schedule.
But Frank mentioned how he learned to take mini naps while running from the Marines.
So, even though he only slept for four hours, he would often get the rest of the sleep during the afternoon and evening.
After waking up, Tyler went to the kitchen where a cup of tea was already ready for him.
He washed his face, brushed his teeth at the sink, and finally drank the tea. He picked up a piece of bread and walked out.
After finishing his bread, he released a deep breath.
"Crew, it's time to move!"
He roared.
In an instant, everyone ran out to the deck. Adam and Frank held on to the mast tightly while Miya's hands were on the wheel.
Tyler raised his hand, and the wind started brewing. A massive wind blasted into the sails, creating a powerful thrust.
The ship suddenly gained speed, and they almost lost their footing. Tyler controlled the wind to keep himself in place while others were tightly holding something.
The Jolly Roger on the mast was hidden by a strange layer of material that was as strong as steel but as light as plastic.
Then, the ropes connected to the sails were in a similar situation. A large metal plate was installed outside the hull, on its side.
Their ship began moving at such incredible speed that, without proper control of the wheel, it could destroy them.
Just for this alone, Tyler was on the front.
If he saw any kind of blockade, he could use his wind to blow it away before the ship crashed into it.
In just a few hours, they had traveled several thousand miles. Along the way, Tyler had destroyed two ships and several obstacles.
Fortunately, there wasn't any island on their path. So, they directly reached their destination before evening.
When their ship saw a massive island, Tyler finally stopped and collapsed on the spot.
Miya also fell. Although she wasn't doing much, the level of control she needed on the wheel required even more effort than Tyler did.
Frank and Adam were also tired, but they didn't collapse like these two. Adam quickly picked up Tyler while Frank went to pick up Miya.
"I thought she was going to pass out in the middle."
Frank muttered before walking into her room and placing her on the bed. Then, he started guiding the ship closer to the island.
After he dropped the anchor and closed the sails, he went to the kitchen to make some food.
He made food for everyone, but Tyler and Miya didn't wake up. So, two of them ate first.
Frank decided to explore the island, but Adam stopped him.
"Look, there are only two of us awake. If you leave and something happens to you, I can't leave Captain alone to find you."
Hearing his words, Frank couldn't help but feel speechless.
"Can you not be such a coward?"
He pointed at his legs that were shaking like crazy.
Adam immediately shouted.
"This is just side effects, side effects of the previous ride. I will be fine in just a few minutes."
"Just stay on the ship!"
Frank didn't waste any more words on him. He simply left the ship and jumped onto the shore.
It wasn't already nighttime, so he decided to explore the surroundings of the island.
He walked for almost two hours before he found nothing.
Literally nothing!
There were no people, no animals, not even a bird on this island. But Frank did find something.
A shipwreck!
It was quite an old shipwreck, even the wood touching the shore was almost completely decayed.
Then, he found some areas where trees were much shorter than in other places.
After a little bit of investigation, he came to the conclusion that someone survived the shipwreck and lived on this island for a while.
Although it wasn't confirmed if there were any creatures on this island before, if there were, they were eaten by that person.
After he could no longer find any food, he decided to make the raft and leave.
He was confused why that person didn't leave earlier.
But it was already nighttime, so he gave up his little investigation and returned to the ship.
At midnight, Tyler woke up.
He saw Adam sleeping on the bed and walked out. Then, he noticed the lights in the kitchen were turned on.
Frank was staying in the kitchen, wearing a blanket over his body, but his eyes were slightly red from the pressure of the previous adventure.
"Captain!"
His voice was also hoarse.
Tyler gulped heavily and walked up to him. He patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Go to sleep! Right now!"
Frank didn't argue. He pointed at the rice cooker and a pot.
"We only have curry and rice tonight."
Then, he walked out of the kitchen and entered the man's quarters before he fell over the bed.
His snapped closed as he drifted into sleep.
Tyler served food on one plate and started eating. After finishing his meal, he didn't want to sleep, so he started training.
He started with basic exercises before he started weight lifting.
Soon, it was the next morning, and Adam also woke up. He woke up a bit late due to the last day's stress.
Even though Miya slept much earlier, she still woke up after Adam.
She was very hungry, so she immediately went to the kitchen and heated the food before eating it.
Adam also made himself some coffee and walked out.
"Hmm? Captain, how long have you been working out?"
Tyler stopped to look around and saw Adam holding a cup.
"Five or six hours!"
Tyler replied before he continued his training. Weight lifting was just one of the training methods. He was also training his swordsmanship.
Although he couldn't use a sword like a true swordsman, he still practiced chopping and slashing every day.
Now that he had weights, he would even lift them as a sword and swing them around.
"Captain, Frank went to investigate the island yesterday. He found a wrecked ship that was at least a decade old."
"There are no animals or bird in that island. How long are we going to stay here?"
Adam spoke.
Tyler continued his training while answering.
"Two months! Hopefully, we can get strong enough to face the imminent threat after two months of training."
Adam nodded and asked.
"Captain, how strong are you exactly?"
This question almost stumped Tyler. He truly didn't know how strong he was, especially after a week of training before reaching Kano Country.
Although a week might sound short, his enhanced recovery helped him train almost fourteen hours a day.
If not for the fact that there was no doctor in the crew, he would've trained for at least sixteen hours or even eighteen.
"I should be at the level of Marine Commodore from Marine Headquarters."
Hearing that, Adam shouted.
"What? Doesn't that mean we will be destroyed by the Vice Admiral? Captain, can you reach Vice Admiral strength in just two months?"
Tyler rolled his eyes.
He wasn't Coby, and even Coby was dealt with a single punch by Luffy after three months of training he got from Garp.
