"Once you feel that your Zanpakuto can no longer absorb Armament Haki, it means that this type of energy is fully charged. Simply use other energies to recharge it again!" Marco jumped onto the platform and addressed the fighters.
"One more thing Marco forgot to tell you!" Jozu stepped forward and spoke loudly.
"For fighters who practice martial arts or possess Devil Fruits, I know you usually don't use weapons like swords. Picking up a Zanpakuto might feel unfamiliar at first!"
"Let me show you the hidden usage of the Zanpakuto!" Jozu took out his Zanpakuto and began to explain.
"Marco, summon a flame bird to attack me!" Jozu stood to the side and called out to Marco.
Marco was momentarily stunned but quickly understood Jozu intention.
With a light flick of his finger, a small phoenix engulfed in azure flames shot out from Marco fingertip, charging straight toward Jozu!
Jozu didn't use his diamond-hardening ability.
Instead, he held his Zanpakuto horizontally in front of his chest.
As the phoenix was about to collide with Jozu, the Zanpakuto emitted a strange glow.
The small phoenix let out a mournful cry before being absorbed into the Zanpakuto!
"This is the hidden usage of the Zanpakuto—it can act as a shield, absorbing any incoming attack!" Jozu chuckled as he addressed the stunned crowd.
"By the way, don't test the power of your Zanpakuto here. The sea is over there. Go far away from the Moby Dick before trying anything!" Whitebeard stroked his beard and added.
The power of the Zanpakuto was undeniable and he didn't want these brats to destroy the Moby Dick while experimenting with their new weapons.
"For those fighters who haven't obtained a Zanpakuto yet, don't be dissapointed!" Marco noticed the envious looks in the eyes of the onlookers and quickly spoke up.
"Strengthen your abilities, Pryce and I will ensure everyone gets equipped with a Zanpakuto!" Marco shouted toward them.
The eyes of the surrounding fighters immediately lit up with hope!
Soon, some of them rushed toward the Time Chamber, eager to improve their strength as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, the fighters who already had Zanpakuto quickly formed groups and boarded small boats, heading toward the distant sea, eager to test the power of their new weapons.
Some onlookers who wanted to watch the spectacle also joined them.
In no time, the once bustling deck became quiet and deserted.
Doflamingo watched the excited Zanpakuto-wielding fighters with a mix of envy and jealousy.
'If only Pryce would join my family, I'd be willing to serve him like a slave!' Doflamingo sighed, silently thinking to himself.
However, given the current situation, it was clear that the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't let Pryce leave.
Moreover, Doflamingo had completely abandoned any thoughts of trying to seize Pryce for himself.
Leaving aside whether they could defeat Whitebeard, now that these division commanders and elite fighters all possess Zanpakuto, fifty fully charged Zanpakuto could directly overwhelm him and his entire family, leaving them utterly disoriented!
The only hope now is to maintain good relations with the Whitebeard Pirates, so that they can seize the opportunity to befriend Pryce.
After a brief discussion, the numerous division commanders decided to head to the Time Chamber for some serious training!
Seeing that there was nothing left to do here, Doflamingo bid farewell to Whitebeard and left the Moby Dick with a heavy heart.
Meanwhile, Whitebeard gazed at the Time Chamber halfway up the mountain, which belonged exclusively to Pryce.
"Tell Pryce when he comes out not to train like this anymore!" Whitebeard instructed Caesar.
After that, he returned directly to his cabin. Playing with the Zanpakuto in his hand, he naturally wouldn't abandon his supreme-grade sword, Murakumogiri.
After all, not only are the twelve supreme-grade swords incredibly rare, but he also isn't very accustomed to using a Zanpakuto-type blade.
Murakumogiri is a bisento and Whitebeard has been using it for decades—he can't change his habits now.
For now, Whitebeard treats the Zanpakuto as his "firearm" charging it up and using it at critical moments in battle, Afterward he would recharge it again!
After fiddling with it for a while, Whitebeard prepared to lie down and rest.
Suddenly, a Den Den Mushi by his bedside rang.
"Pops, help!"
"Our outpost base is under attack by Kaido and Big Mom!"
"The casualties are severe..."
Before the fighter on the other end could finish, a scream was heard and the Den Den Mushi went silent.....
Clearly, they had been attacked!
Whitebeard immediately snapped awake and looked at the label on the Den Den Mushi.
It was the outpost base in the far west!
Without hesitation, Whitebeard pulled out a teleportation talisman from his pocket.
With a thought, a golden-purple light enveloped him.
In the next moment, Whitebeard appeared at the western outpost base, The scene was one of devastation, with ruins and smoke everywhere!
Whitebeard's eyes immediately turned bloodshot.
Just then, a loud noise came from not far away.
Whitebeard rushed toward the sound.
Along the way, he saw countless dead and injured fighters from his outpost base, with severed limbs and broken bodies scattered beneath the rubble!
The more he saw, the more shocked and enraged he became.
Soon, Whitebeard reached the source of the commotion.
A captain from the outpost base had been brutally slammed into the ground by King and Jack, barely clinging to life!
Whitebeard swung his blade fiercely, forcing King and Jack to retreat.
"Bastards! You hurt my men—where do you think you're running?!" Whitebeard roared, ready to continue the pursuit.
"Pops... their target is the storage room with the teleportation talismans and explosive tags! No, we can't let them take it away!" The captain, spat out his last mouthful of blood.
Despite the excruciating pain, he looked at Whitebeard and spoke.
Whitebeard nodded solemnly and then chased in the direction where Jack and King had fled.
Soon, Whitebeard spotted two familiar figures.
Kaido of the Beasts and Big Mom Charlotte Linlin!
