Chapter 158

The first half of the Grand Line.

The Roger Pirates, who set sail again, were not in a hurry to go to the New World. They chose different routes and were more like a "tourist group", sailing leisurely on the sea.

They often stayed on an island for half a month or a month.

They seemed to be searching for something.

Of course...

There was still the "dog skin plaster" that couldn't be thrown away!

This piece of shit plaster was Vice Admiral Garp, who grinned with excitement: "Bring the shells!"

"I want to ask the guys from the Roger Pirates to taste my gift!"

The navy behind him did as he was told, holding a heavy shell and sending it to Garp, who grabbed it in his hand.

It was like throwing a stone.

Whoosh!

The shell flew out at lightning speed, without the parabola of a cannon, but flew straight to the ship of the Roger Pirates.

However, the shell was split in two by a dazzling sword light just halfway through its flight, and exploded in the air.

The power of the explosion set off a violent wave that hit the ship of Roger's pirate group.

On the pirate ship.

It looked like a bustling scene. Some crew members used ropes to control the sails to use the wind to make the ship faster. Some crew members were ready to control the cannons. Some crew members controlled the rudder to control the course...

Roger stood at the side of the ship with a big horse and a golden knife, and shouted to Garp: "Hey! Old opponent, can you tell me what is the matter of Ares' bounty, which has been making a lot of noise on the sea recently?"

There has been no news about that guy since the fight a year ago.

Now.

The news that suddenly resounded across the sea shocked all the members of Roger's pirate group.

"Ah... That guy, it seems, robbed the gold from the sky, and killed the Celestial Dragons." Garp pinched his nose and said the reason carelessly, which immediately made the navy soldiers behind him drop their jaws to the ground.

They were petrified on the spot!

Such secrets were not known to the navy soldiers at all. Now not only did they learn from Garp, but they were also shocked that Vice Admiral Garp actually told such confidential information directly to the enemy.

Another Vice Admiral Prodi on the ship punched Garp on the head without hesitation, and shouted: "Garp bastard, this is confidential information, how can you tell others so easily."

"Ah... Is this a secret?!" Garp's eyes suddenly bulged out, as if he had let the cat out of the bag.

This made Vice Admiral Prodi's face darken.

On the other side.

On the pirate ship, Roger, who got the answer, raised his mouth and sighed: "That kid really did something incredible. I wonder when and where I will meet him next time."

"Thinking of that scary guy, I have a headache."

Rayleigh had a bitter smile on his face: "Yes, that guy gave me a terrible feeling. The devil fruit ability of the mythical beast is extremely rare."

"You have worked several times harder than before this year. The next time you meet that guy, you will definitely win!" Roger hugged Rayleigh's shoulders and smiled heartlessly.

He knew that Rayleigh had trained himself much harder than before this year.

His strength has improved a lot.

"I hope so." Rayleigh answered calmly, thinking in his heart: "Ares, you have become a well-known pirate. Your reputation has been completely resounding in this sea. I will not let you down in the next battle."

·······

The sight turned.

Beehive Island.

"Brother Ares, drink this one and there are three more!" Kaido put his arm around Ares' shoulders and raised a large glass of wine with his other hand.

Ares also said proudly: "Cheers!"

Raised his glass and slammed the wine. This glass was like several barrels of wine for others.

After all, his physique was there.

The pirates around sang songs around the bonfire, and they were drunk one by one, a happy scene.

At this time.

In the shadow area where the firelight could not reach, a petite figure appeared, staring at Ares's mighty and sturdy body with burning eyes.

It was the young Katakuri.

He gritted his teeth, and a firm look appeared on his childish face, and he stepped towards Ares.

The pirates who were drinking to their heart's content did not notice this little guy at all, and he walked in front of Ares.

Katakuri looked up at Ares, who was like a small mountain, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Captain Ares, can you teach me to become stronger?!"

The childish voice made the pirates present look at the petite figure.

"Huh?!"

Ares looked down atKatakuri, with a look of surprise on his face, then smiled at him: "I don't even have enough time to train myself, so I don't have time to teach you."

This answer made Katakuri stunned for a moment. He thought he would be rejected, but he didn't expect Ares to give this answer.

It seemed that all the words he had thought of were useless, and he decided temporarily: "I... Then I will train with you."

"Ha ha ha..." Kaido laughed at the side, "Hey, kid, do you know how we train? Your little arms and legs won't work. You should come when you grow up!"

"Who said I can't?!" Katakuri had a proud look on his face, "As long as I can become stronger, I can endure any hardship. I want to become as strong as Ares!"

"Puff~"

Kaido spit out a mouthful of wine, beat his chest and laughed: "Puff ha ha ha... What a fool, you can actually How can you say such a thing? How can you become as powerful as Big Brother Ares? "

"There is only one Ares in this world!"

Kaido's repeated interruptions and ridicules of Katakuri made the young Katakuri a little angry. His little face flushed red, and he said angrily: "No matter how much effort and sweat it takes, I will do it!"

Then he stopped looking at Kaido and looked at Ares, bowed at a standard 90-degree angle, and said in a loud voice: "Ares, please let me train with you!"

Ares frowned slightly. The other party was too young, but he saw a kind of persistence in him that was very similar to him.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Kid, what's your name?"

"Katakuri!" Katakuri raised his body, not afraid of the beastly aura emanating from Ares, and looked into Ares' eyes with a firm look.

Ares's brows relaxed and he suddenly smiled: "Okay, I can allow you to train with us, but I won't teach you for now. What you can learn depends on you."

"I will definitely stick to it!" Katakuri had a happy smile on his face, but his mouth was cracked, and even the smile gave people a slightly terrifying and deformed feeling.

Kaido muttered on the side: "Tsk... there is one more troublesome kid."

"This world is not so gentle that as long as you work hard, you will definitely get rewards."

"Efforts will not lie!" Katakuri glared at Kaido, clenching his fists tightly. If he had the strength, he would rush up to fight Kaido.

Let him know how powerful his fists are.

Now...

The strength does not allow it!
