But now, only one night has passed, and he realizes that he seems to have taken a path opposite to it.
Is this also included in your calculation, Gawain?!
Law looked up and looked into the distance.
He only saw Gawain walking side by side with Fujitora at the back of the crowd, talking and laughing, with a relaxed look on his face.
Thinking back on his own refusal to train yesterday, Law realized Gawain hadn't shown up once, and the suspicion he'd had about him now just seemed laughable.
The best training is never to force subordinates to practice with a whip, but to let them gradually indulge in the process so that they cannot extricate themselves!
This man is not only superior to Golden Lion in combat power, but also in his control over people's hearts!
At this moment, Law felt that he understood Gawain and how terrible his calculation was.
That is, even if he understands Gawain's conspiracy and knows that what is in front of him is Gawain's trap, he still can't resist the will of this man.
Because joining this cycle of extreme training was, for Law and the rest of the White Knight Pirates, the best choice!
Da!
Law's hand pressed on the weight beside him.
In less than a second, he had strapped on a full set of weights and handcuffs in perfect order, even increasing the load compared to before just to push his body to its absolute limit!
Team culture? Official ship doctor?
None of that mattered compared to the excitement and pleasure brought by becoming stronger!
Da! Da! Da!
Law took a step, and the crisp footsteps sounded on the ice. The footprints left behind were a few points deeper than yesterday, and many cracks appeared on the ice.
He no longer wanted to think!
"That's right!"
"Haven't you always been eager to become stronger, eager to gain enough power to defeat Doflamingo or even Golden Lion?!"
"Now you are on the right path!"
Bepo's mouth curled up, with an indescribable sense of recognition in his eyes.
Bepo also equipped himself with a set of weights, walked quickly, side by side with Law, and tried his best to consume the last bit of strength in his body.
The morning sun rose, casting its light on the endless glaciers like a sea of gold.
These reflected rays weren't literal gold, but to Law, what lay ahead might as well be.
Every drop of sweat brings a reward.
Strength is the foundation!
… … …
Up ahead, the few figures also training hard noticed Law's change and paused their steps.
"Now that's more like it."
Kuro nodded in satisfaction.
Beside him, Gin looked at Law with admiration: "He must've already felt the joy that comes with constantly growing stronger."
"It's a thrill far beyond anything cigarettes, alcohol, women, or even drugs can offer!"
"Strength!"
"Strength is everything!"
"When you use absolute power to tear your enemies apart, the pleasure is incomparable!"
"Besides..."
As he spoke, Gin raised his head, gazing at Gawain, his eyes filled with both frustration and unwavering resolve: "At the very least, we can't afford to be left too far behind by that man."
"I don't want to end up like the Nyaban Brothers or Jango, left to retire in East Blue because they couldn't keep up."
"At the very least, I must become a stepping stone for the captain's rise to the top!"
At those words, the surrounding White Knight Pirates all revealed eyes burning with fire.
Bodies that had been on the verge of collapse suddenly erupted with newfound strength!
"Ulaaa!"
"Super!"
With a strange cry, Franky charged forward at full speed.
Although his body was mostly made of steel and training had limited effects, that didn't stop him from wanting to stand side by side with everyone.
To him, it was a man's conviction, his passion!
"That's cheating, Franky-niisan!"
"Too cunning, Franky-niisan!"
The Square Sisters were immediately anxious, stepped forward, and immediately caught up with Franky's footsteps.
Gin, Lucci, and others also put away their joking attitude and started their own training.
For a while, the large group of survivors became lively, and the loud shouts of the training maniacs of the White Knight Pirate were everywhere.
Such a crazy attitude, if it were someone else, they would probably think they were a group of perverts.
But in the eyes of the survivors, there was only unspeakable longing and gratitude.
They understood that it was this group of seemingly abnormal people who had an upright and passionate heart.
Now they all know that Gawain and his gang are not the Marines, but pirates.
But it is this group of pirates who helped them stop the demons that invaded the Water 7 at the moment of life and death.
This is justice regardless of identity!
Justice that is above the Marines!
After all, the real Marines will bury them and Water 7 in the sea at the first opportunity.
"Keep going!"
Accompanied by a childish voice, the cheers in the crowd gradually became louder!
"Mr. Kuro! Captain Gin! Keep going!"
"Mr. Sanji, I want to have a baby with you!"
A playful girl's voice rang out, making Sanji stumble slightly before turning excitedly toward the crowd. Then, he spotted a girl with green braids and a blue rabbit by her side.
"Oh…"
Sanji waved at the girl, with a gentle smile on his face: "The first priority for children now is to grow up first."
After saying that, Sanji turned around and returned to the group to train, but his steps became much lighter at this moment.
… … …
In the distance, Gawain looked at this scene with his mouth slightly raised, then his eyes fell on Chimney, and he also recognized the identity of the girl.
Her name is Chimney, and she is a mermaid and human hybrid living with Granny Kokoro. She is also the stationmaster of the Shift Station in Water 7.
This time, she survived the war in Water 7 and now withdrew with them. It can only be said that she was lucky.
What really impressed Gawain was Granny Kokoro.
Granny Kokoro was once a mermaid, but unfortunately, she is old now. In the original timeline, she once completely shattered Sanji's fantasies regarding mermaids.
"I hope that kid will have better luck this time."
"What?"
"Nothing."
Gawain shook his head and signaled to Fujitora to ignore him.
The latter chuckled and focused his attention on Law, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Young people are indeed young, they bow their heads quickly."
There was a bit of depression in his tone.
That day, he made a verbal bet with Gawain, estimating that Law would hold out for at least a month before seeking Gawain out. In the end, the guy didn't even last three days.
Such weak knees…
"I really don't have any gambling luck. It seems that I can't go to the casino in the next few months."
Gawain glanced at Fujitora with a strange look.
Many positive qualities can be easily found in this man.
But no one is perfect. If Fujitora had any harmless flaws, one would be his inability to take compliments like Chopper, and the other, his love for gambling.
The blind man's love of gambling is almost as good as writing the words fat sheep on his face, which has attracted many people with bad intentions to cheat secretly, and finally, they can only fall under Fujitora's sword.
It's hard to say whether this is a sting operation or not.
While thinking, the Den Den Mushi in Gawain's arms suddenly rang a rapid ring.
"Captain!"
Gaza's voice came from the receiver with a bit of solemnity: "There is a force from the New World that wants to take over the peripheral gambling rights of the Martial Arts Tournament."
"The other party's whereabouts are mysterious, but the offer is extremely generous; I'm afraid it's not a small force."
"New World?"
