Uchiha Madara had always maintained a cold attitude toward others, but he was very clear on who his captain and leader was.
"Thanks, Captain. I don't really like drinking."
Madara replied calmly, bowing slightly to Kronos out of respect.
At that moment, Gojo Satoru came over and said with a grin, "Don't be so stiff! The captain doesn't expect you to drink."
"How can you not have some juice in this scorching heat? Thanks, Captain!"
Gojo Satoru's lively personality stood out. He never acted formal or overly respectful around Kronos, despite him being the leader.
"Captain, after this battle, can we go somewhere fun for a couple of months?"
"I feel like all we've been doing is fighting lately. No time to relax at all!"
"I really want to find a cool place to hang out and unwind for a while."
Gojo shrugged as he voiced his thoughts.
Everyone in the crew came from different worlds, with their own ideas and personalities. The fact that Kronos managed to unite them without conflict was remarkable in itself.
"Alright, I promise. After this battle, I'll take you somewhere interesting. We'll all relax together for a while."
"After the Summit War, our reputation exploded. Once we take down Whitebeard, we won't need another big fight anytime soon."
Kronos agreed with Gojo Satoru's suggestion. After all, Gojo wasn't wrong.
Since forming the crew, they'd never had a real break or team-building session.
Once this battle was over, Kronos knew team bonding would be important.
Coming from modern times, his approach to managing his crew was different—more human.
"Captain! Huge waves ahead! We'll need to detour, or it'll take us five more days to reach Honeycomb Island."
"If you're in a hurry, we can try going straight through the waves… but I'm not sure the ship can handle it, even after reinforcement."
Yoriichi Tsugikuni ran from the cabin to ask for Kronos' decision.
Kronos just laughed. "No wave can stop us. We're not changing course."
"Tell everyone to come up to the deck—I want to see how well the Angel of Redemption handles waves like this."
"I'm not worried about the ship… I'm worried about you all."
Kronos' playful tone made it clear: he was turning this into a challenge.
There were many ways to train a crew. His favorite was throwing them straight into it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Captain, you're looking to play again, huh? I'll gather everyone right away! Surfing through waves sounds way cooler than avoiding them!"
Gojo Satoru's grin widened as he ran off to call the others.
He didn't like grim, serious battles, but if the captain wanted to do something fun, Gojo was always the first to support it.
"Understood, Captain. Continuing forward at full speed, no course change."
"I'll furl the sails temporarily and prepare the Angel of Redemption for maximum-speed wave crossing."
Yoriichi calmly returned to the cockpit, starting preparations to push through the massive waves.
On Gojo Satoru's enthusiastic call, the entire crew gathered on deck.
They all knew Kronos had something planned. Gojo hadn't told them what kind of game this was going to be.
They waited, eyes on their captain, curious what crazy idea he'd throw at them next.
