"Our enemy is not the Vice Admiral. I am not sure how strong they will be, but as long as they are not as strong as Vice Admiral, I can fight them."
"As for the Vice Admiral, we can only fight him together if we want to survive."
Hearing that, Adam started shivering in fear.
"D….d….d..d….d…..doesn't that mean we are facing more enemies?"
He took a deep breath and said.
"As long as they are not stronger than Vice Admiral, we can win, right, Captain?"
Tyler couldn't help but glance at him. He was a Giant with the cowardliness of Usopp. But there was one thing that he didn't fear.
Battle!
As long as his opponent wasn't very strong, he wasn't afraid of battles.
"Adam, from now on, you will start training in Marine Six Styles. Remember this carefully! You need to be able to use them."
Tyler took out the Marine Six Style Notebook and passed it to Adam.
"Huh? Marine Skills? Well, I will try my best."
Adam nodded without much hesitation. He took the book and started reading.
Seeing him engrossed, Tyler continued his training for the next hour.
Finally, feeling hungry, he returned to the kitchen and made himself some sandwiches.
After filling his stomach, he returned to the deck and continued his training.
Frank woke up several hours later and made breakfast for himself and lunch for the crew.
After the crew finished their meal, Frank went to explore the island.
Miya continued working on her map while also training with Adam and Tyler.
While the crew was training, Frank returned after hours of exploration. But his expression was quite surprising.
"Why do you look like you are ecstatic and confused at the same time?"
"Captain, look what I found!"
Frank took out a fruit with a light blue skin that looked like an apple.
"Is that a Devil Fruit?"
Adam shouted in shock.
"You? How did you find a Devil Fruit?" Miya couldn't help but feel unsettled.
After all, she competed with Frank on everything. Since he found a Devil Fruit, that meant he had officially become the biggest contributor in the crew.
Devil Fruits were worth a hundred million berries. And, it could be more based on a Devil Fruit.
In a single trip, Frank had earned more than Miya could earn in a lifetime.
'No, I also have to go out and explore more. I need to find a Devil Fruit.'
Seeing her expression, Frank couldn't help but smile. Her distress was his joy.
"Hmm! Of course, I am the chosen one. They face tragedy at the beginning, but after a certain event, their life changes for the better."
"Tsk! Tsk! Frank, your nose is hitting the ceiling."
Tyler couldn't help but click his tongue. He took the Devil Fruit from Frank and asked.
"What else did you find on that island?"
Frank shrugged.
"Except for this, nothing! But I have a hypothesis about its current situation. A long time ago, there was a shipwreck near this island."
"One man survived, and coincidentally, that man was a Devil Fruit user. Because of that, he didn't leave the island and lived here."
"He hunted animals from this island, drank water from the pond, and survived for years until all the animals were gone."
"Since birds are rarely seen on this island, he had no choice but to leave this place to survive."
"So, that's what he did, but I bet he met a storm on his way out and died. The Devil Fruit gets reincarnated after a person's death, and it has appeared on the island."
Hearing that, Tyler nodded and added.
"The air around this island is a bit strange, isn't it, Miya?"
Miya was surprised by his sudden question, but she thought for a moment and said.
"Yeah, now that I think about it, I got mistaken for an upcoming storm a while ago."
Frank immediately caught on to his words and asked.
"Captain, are you saying that man lived on the island because he was afraid of the storm and only took the risk after he had no choice?"
Tyler nodded.
"Otherwise, why would he stay on this island alone for years if he could leave? Is he afraid? But why? He must either be a pirate or a powerful merchant."
"People like that wouldn't be afraid of sailing unless this sea is surrounded by fluctuating air temperature."
"I see! But why haven't we encountered any storm?" Frank asked.
Tyler chuckled.
"Who do you think your Captain is? I control Storm. Well, I controlled the airflow to stop the storm."
'But the funny thing is that this world's Tyler died because of the storm.'
He couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.
"So, what are we going to do with this fruit? Among us, only Miya hasn't eaten a Fruit. So, shall we take a risk?"
Adam asked.
Tyler looked at Miya for a moment and asked.
"Miya, would you be willing to not eat it now?"
Miya thought her Captain would ask her to eat it, not the other way around. But she nodded.
"It's your call, Captain. But I also think eating it now would be dangerous. If any of you fall into the sea, we need someone to pull you guys out."
"And, right now, that person can only be me."
Tyler nodded and put the Devil Fruit inside a treasure chest.
"You are right. We need to be aware of our situation. I had recently contacted Turtle about our next companion."
"She is a Devil Fruit user as well, and she was last seen with Black Wolf Pirates. Once we finish our business here, we will try to find them."
"Then, after gathering five people, we will find leave for the Grandline. What do you think?"
"Yes, Captain!"
All three of them nodded without much hesitation.
Putting aside Adam, both Miya and Frank were saved by Tyler. So, they had complete faith in him.
And, this faith was only growing stronger. Before, they believed in him as a good pirate captain.
Now, they genuinely believe he was going to be the next Pirate King.
"Alright, since Frank has explored the island, we can land and start our training on the island."
Tyler excitedly picked up several weights and ran off the ship. Others also followed after him.
But after their exercise, Tyler decided to spar with his team.
"Miya, you and I first!"
Miya held the Seastone Chain in her hand and said.
"I'm ready, Captain."
Without giving him a chance to react, she spun her chain and whipped it towards Tyler at an incredible speed and precision.
The tip of the chain slapped Tyler on the chest.
"Argh!"
Tyler not only felt pain but also weakness in his body. But his incredible durability helped him tank the weakness before he used his recently learned move.
[Shave]
Unlike before, when he used to destroy the ground, he made no impact, but his figure blurred in front of her.
Before Miya could react, Tyler appeared behind her and grabbed her by the back of her neck.
At the same time, Miya had also aimed a pistol at his stomach.
"Nice observation!"
He let go of her neck and flickered. His body appeared above her, his fist aiming at her head.
This time, Miya was a bit slow. Although she seemed to have eyes like a Hawk, her body still reacted more slowly.
Before his fist struck her, Tyler opened his fist and grabbed her head before landing in front of her.
"Your current problem is your reaction speed. With that pistol, Seastone Chain, and that kind of observation, you are fit to enter the Grandline."
"But our enemies are stronger. So, you need to train your reaction speed."
"Yes, Captain!"
Miya nodded.
She also noted to herself.
'Captain, I am a sniper, not a close-range fighter.'
After testing her, Tyler invited Frank.
The battle turned into a mouse-and-rat chase.
Frank would drill his body into the ground and vibrate his body at a frequency where his body would pass right through Tyler.
Using these methods, it almost became impossible to catch him, but when Frank finally started getting tired, Tyler only needed one punch.
The battle ended.
"Your weaknesses are all over the place. First, if you can travel through someone's body, why not attack my body?"
"You can simply hold a nail in your hand, make it pass through my body, and release it inside."
Frank's face turned pale as he asked.
"Captain, are you kidding me? That would kill you."
Tyler shook his head and said.
"You are kidding, right? I am Mythical Zoan Fruit. Unless I am incapacitated, I can survive any kind of injury."
"Besides, just because you can't do that doesn't mean you can't pull me inside the ground or even use your vibrations to destroy my eardrums."
"You have been running the entire time. That's not how you should fight. For these two months, I am going to put you through a battle every day."
"One battle a day, keeps the devil away!"
