on deck,

Barrett looked on with a puzzled expression as Roy, Tezzolo, and Stella stared at Savi and laughed.

Knowing that this was the first time Barrett had ever seen someone eat a Devil Fruit, Tesoro quickly explained.

"This Devil Fruit tastes awful. The boss and Stella had the same expression when they ate it, hahaha~"

Then Tesoro turned to Savi, who was still doubting whether the fruit was spoiled, and said, "The boss said that this Devil Fruit can only unleash its full power if it is eaten completely."

"Hurry up, little Savi, eat it all!"

Barrett gave Savi a sympathetic look, letting him figure it out for himself.

Savi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and swallowed the remaining fruit in one gulp. It got stuck in his throat, and Roy patted his back to help him finish the fruit.

Stella also quickly went to the cabin to fetch a glass of water as Savi ate the fruit.

To Barrett's astonishment, little Savi slowly transformed into a 5-meter-tall, black-and-grey giant ape. Its enormous fists were the size of basketballs, and its black-and-grey fur gleamed with a metallic sheen.

When Savi came to his senses, he looked at the crowd around him who were now shorter than him, scratched his head in confusion, and then felt a powerful force within his body. He happily jumped around on the deck.

Seeing this, Roy quickly manipulated Savi to levitate, and only put him down after he had become familiar with the power and returned to human form.

In a huff, I gave him a sharp rap on the head.

"Little Savi, you almost destroyed the deck! Be careful next time you transform on the ship. If the ship sinks, your Devil Fruit ability won't let you fly. If you fall into the sea, you're dead!" Roy threatened.

"Yes, I understand, Boss Roy," Savi replied earnestly.

"Alright, from now on you'll train with Barrett. Focus on mastering the Six Powers of the Navy, and then combine that with your Devil Fruit ability to find a suitable offensive strategy."

"Barrett, I'm leaving Savi in ​​your care. First, teach him Moonwalk so he won't fall into the sea later."

After giving Barrett his instructions, Roy walked over and patted Tesoro on the shoulder, who looked on with envy.

"Don't worry, Tesoro, I've already thought of your fruit. We'll go get it for you together."

"Boss..."

Seeing Tesoro so moved he was almost in tears, everyone burst into laughter at his expression.

Little Savi, who had always been "bullied," made a face at Tezzolo.

"Haha~ Tesoro, you can't beat me now."

"You little brat."

Seeing this, Tesoro, his face flushed, was even more furious and wanted to go up and "teach" this brat a lesson for daring to mock him.

Stella quickly stopped him and comforted him repeatedly.

Seeing this harmonious scene, Roy clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"Alright, now let's arrange our next destination."

As he spoke, Roy took a Log Pole from his pocket and handed it to Stella. (He had asked the merchant ship owner for it when they arrived in Sabaody.)

"This is the log pointer near Baron Stomach of the Boeing Islands (Stormac Baron). There's another one of our companions there. Let's pick him up first, and then we'll head to the next island where another formidable opponent awaits us."

"Yes, Boss/Captain!" the men replied in unison.

The rest of the voyage was filled with busy work and sweat. Tesoro continued his training as always, and whenever he had time, he would appear by Stella's side to learn some navigation techniques.

Under Barrett's guidance, Savi underwent even more rigorous physical and six-style training, and his howls and pleas for mercy could be heard from time to time by the people on the ship.

Roy was sometimes afraid that Barrett would ruin Savi's training.

Stella became the ship's head steward, not only keeping an eye on the course but also serving as everyone's cook, preparing food for them every day, while also managing her own cultivation. She was incredibly busy.

Roy and the others did try to cook, but unfortunately none of them had the talent, so they had to continue to ask Stella to take on the task. In their spare time, they would also help Stella take charge of the ship's helm.

Roy said he would find a chef partner as soon as possible.

Barrett was the most disciplined guy. He was either training or practicing with Savi every day. He even had Roy adjust the gravity on his body to six times the normal level. He was still happy to do this every day. Roy had to admire him. He himself only turned the gravity up to five times the normal level. The other three could withstand the suppression of three times the normal gravity.

Roy wasn't idle either. While adjusting the gravity training for the group, he used his mental power to assist navigation, accelerating the ship and avoiding bad weather and naval patrol vessels.

While honing his mental strength, Roy did not forget his swordsmanship training. When he saw Rayleigh's cool sword attack, Roy decided to become a great swordsman, after all, being cool comes first.

The voyage lasted several days, but was filled with intense and fulfilling training.

Guided by Roy's psychic powers, the White Dove, like a ghost on the sea, skillfully avoided some unnecessary troubles.

On deck, Barrett's daily roars and Savi's wails were nothing out of the ordinary.

"Lift your legs higher! Push harder! Do you want to fall into the sea and become sea monster feed?"

"Barrett...Big Brother...let me rest for a bit..."

Savi, in human form, was drenched in sweat, desperately kicking his legs against the air, but could only maintain a height of half a meter off the ground for a moment before crashing heavily onto the deck.

Roy, sitting cross-legged at the bow of the boat, sensed this scene and a smile appeared on his lips.

He then turned his attention back to the sword Rayleigh had swung, and casually drew the "Frost" sword that was lying across his lap, swinging it at the air in front of him.

Suddenly, Roy's expression changed; he sensed a pirate ship heading towards them.

"Hey everyone, pirates are coming at us!"

Upon hearing this, the group stopped what they were doing and went to the bow of the boat.

Soon, a sailing ship much larger than the White Dove came straight toward them, with a skull and crossbones flag flying on its sails and several cannons extending from its sides.

"Tch~"

"Someone like this dares to roam around in the first half of the Grand Line!"

Barrett, arms crossed, looked utterly disdainful and showed no desire to make a move.

"Don't say that! This was originally meant for Tesoro and the others to practice on."

Roy waved to Barrett; he had already sensed the strength of the other side, otherwise the ship wouldn't even have been qualified to get close.

Upon hearing this, Tesoro and the others all showed excited expressions.

Tesoro, who had always been protected by Roy, had long wanted to test his current strength against someone, but every time he encountered an opponent, they were either too strong or easily defeated.

Savi was even more eager to try. After training with Roy and the others for a year, he had just gained great power and was worried about where to use it!

Stella, on the other hand, remained much calmer and quickly observed the movements of the enemy ships and the positions of their cannons.

"The enemy is experiencing artillery interference..."

"Don't worry about Stella, I'll take care of the obstacles for you. Just keep charging forward."
