……

Junichi did not neglect his ninja training.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

During those seven days, Rayleigh took him hunting on the island and honing his dual-color Haki in battle.

At the same time, he was taught about sailing.

Inform him about the various situations in the four seas, the first half of the Grand Line, and the New World, and recommend places to explore.

It was completely absorbed by the first-order.

Seven days later.

Both of his dual-color domineering auras have reached the 'proficient' level.

[Armament Haki - Proficient (8/1000)]

[Observation Haki - Proficient (5/1000)]

Armament Haki is enough to cover the entire body, and Observation Haki is enough to be used at any time.

However, the degree of rejection did not increase much.

Rejection rate: 5.78%/100%

It's still within the 5% range.

"I don't have much to teach you anymore. You'll have to walk the rest of the road yourself," Rayleigh sighed, patting Junichi on the shoulder. "Go back now."

"Okay." Junichi nodded naturally.

Rayleigh is a practical man; he's taught him everything he could.

The rest is up to him to make his own way.

"I'll call Peony and ask her to prepare a feast to celebrate the end of your training," Rayleigh said with a smile, taking out a Den Den Mushi.

……

……

Sabaody Archipelago.

Qi's Bamboo Bar, on the first floor counter.

"Sister Peony, when are they coming back?" Hancock asked, looking bored as she lay on the bar.

The character "井" (well) appeared on the peony's forehead.

"I've said it over thirty times!"

"He went to a deserted island with Rayleigh for a six-month training program."

"It's only been a week, and I haven't seen him yet!"

Hearing this, Hancock let out a sullen sigh.

Seeing her like this, Peony felt even more annoyed: 'So she's already starting to care?'

"Really..."

Peony clutched her forehead, feeling a headache coming on, and thought to herself:

Being rescued from a desperate situation perfectly fits the classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope, so it's normal to develop feelings for him... but that boy is no ordinary person!

That cold, repressed, and murderous demeanor must indicate a lot of trouble behind it.

"Besides, the Nine Serpents would never allow an emperor to marry someone from outside the family."

From any perspective, Peony felt that there was no possibility between the two of them.

But she also knew.

Forcibly stopping Hancock from falling in love would only backfire.

She couldn't very well stop them outright, so she could only remain vigilant in secret.

Plop plop!

Just then, a Den Den Mushi in my pocket suddenly made a sound.

"Rayleigh?"

Peony was surprised to take out a Den Den Mushi, which she used to communicate with Rayleigh alone.

She immediately picked up the microphone.

"Good morning, Peony." The Den Den Mushi, mimicking Rayleigh, uttered a familiar voice: "Junior Junichi's training has ended ahead of schedule. We'll be heading to the Sabaody Archipelago tonight. Remember to prepare a banquet for us."

Are you coming back tonight?

Hancock, who was listening in, caught the key words and immediately sat up straight.

"So fast?"

Peony was surprised: "It's only been a week..." But then she seemed to remember something and immediately changed her mind with a smile: "Okay, I'll ask the chef to make a reservation right away."

"Okay, see you tonight," Rayleigh said.

"See you tonight." Peony put down the microphone.

I just ended the call.

Hancock, who was standing nearby, eagerly leaned over and exclaimed excitedly, "Junichi and the others are coming back tonight!?"

"Didn't you hear everything?" Peony glanced at her sideways.

"Very good!"

Hancock was overjoyed and jumped off the stool, leaping around the tavern.

But Peony's expression wasn't so happy; instead, she sighed, "Hancock, don't be so quick to be happy."

"Huh?" Hancock stopped, bewildered.

"Don't you find it strange?" Peony said slowly, "Why did you return after only a week when your six-month training was supposed to be completed?"

Hancock was stunned.

She was so happy just now that she hadn't even thought about this.

"Why?" Hancock asked, puzzled.

"What do you think?" Peony didn't give a direct answer, but instead guided Hancock to think. "It's not my prejudice, but Junichi's talent and physical abilities are actually mediocre."

"But he also shows signs of intense training."

"And Rayleigh's guidance is another, even more intense form of training. What do you think...?"

Peony did not speak.

Hancock had realized the problem and fell silent.

moment.

Hancock bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Junichi can't handle Mr. Rayleigh's teachings?"

"That's the only possibility." Peony nodded.

Swish!

In an instant, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, all of Hancock's joy vanished.

In that case, there's absolutely no way to be happy.

"So at night, you have to be careful not to mention cultivation, okay?" Peony gently stroked her head.

Hancock nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand!"

……

into the night.

Junichi and Rayleigh arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago and returned to Peony's tavern.

Welcome back.

Peony leaned against the bar, smoking a cigarette, and greeted them with a languid smile: "The food is all ready. Would you like to eat now?"

"Of course, I saved my appetite for this meal." Rayleigh chuckled as he took his seat.

Junichi also sat down.

next to.

Hancock greeted him with a smile and poured him a glass of juice: "Junichi, try the concoction I just learned."

"Thank you." Zhun nodded and accepted the drink, taking a sip as a casual compliment.

Hancock immediately squinted her eyes with delight.

This surprised Zhun Yi slightly.

There was no time to think.

The hired chef directed the staff to bring out plate after plate of exquisite dishes, filling half of the first floor of the tavern.

among them.

Some delicate, small foods were specially placed in front of Junichi.

This is the silent care of the peony.

People with strong abilities will also be physically strong, and their appetite will naturally increase.

Correspondingly.

Weaker people tend to have smaller appetites.

Peony was worried that Junichi wouldn't eat much, so she specially instructed the chef to prepare some delicate food and put it on Junichi's side.

When you eat it this way, the contrast won't be too obvious.

"Cheers."

Rayleigh raised his glass and clinked it against Junichi's before taking a big bite.

Hancock and Peony also took their seats nearby.

"Hmm, these dishes..." Junichi looked at the exquisite dishes in front of him with a hint of helplessness.

If it were afternoon tea, he might have the time to savor it slowly.

But on the small island.

After eating barbecue for seven days straight, with only salt and simple spices, Jun-il's mouth was getting incredibly bland.

All he wants to do right now is eat meat!

hiss...

Zhun reached out, tore off a huge leg of meat, and put it in his mouth to chew.

They completely ignored the exquisite dishes in front of them.
