144 Tiger and Jinbe

At Onigashima, the sky is clear and free of any clouds.

In the palace's backyard, there is a huge training ground."

"I'm so tired, Tiger!"

Jinbe, who was only fourteen years old, lay weakly on the ground after sweating profusely all morning.

"Be quiet, Jinbe."

Tiger, who was sweating profusely, was waving heavy dumbbells not far away.

He's struggling and gritting his teeth with every repetition: "In this sea, if you want not to be bullied, you must become stronger."

On the first day after the battle between Kaishu and Whitebeard, the 10,000-strong fighting force of the Fish Men Island, led by Tiger, arrived at Wano.

To Kaishu's surprise, Tiger actually brought Jinbe and rejected the invitation from the World Government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Moreover, compared to Captain Kaishu, our efforts are nothing at all..."

During the two days on Onigashima, Tiger had already been shocked by Kaishu's crazy training.

Carrying more than ten tons of weight to exercise under ten times the gravity is simply a bit mind-numbing. If it were anyone else's body, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago.

"Jinbe, didn't Captain say that you are still young? Don't rashly train your body; you should spend part of your time developing your devil fruit abilities."

After Tiger put down the dumbbells, he looked at Jinbe, who was still complaining just now but got up again and exercised meticulously.

Among all the compatriots that he brought here, the one that Tiger favored most was Jinbe.

That's why he was brought to the Beasts Pirates with him.

Fortunately, Kaishu was also very optimistic about Jinbe's potential and gave them two Devil Fruits.

"Well, I know Boss Tiger."

Jinbe nodded obediently, and then he looked at Tiger while speaking:

"Boss Tiger, we don't have money to go to the Actual combat training room yet. Why don't we try it in real fight?"

Tiger looked at Jinbe, who had expectant eyes and said with a smile: "Jinbe, you have become dishonest. If you want to compete with me, just tell me."

"Hehe~"

Jinbe rubbed his head naively.

Today's Jinbe is not the same one who's so calm in the future.

He's at the age when a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

"Okay, let's see how much improvement the devil fruit made on you."

Tiger smiled slightly and did not refuse, then he also looked at Jinbe expectantly.

"Then, Boss Tiger, I won't be polite."

"Come on!"

Jinbe's expression became serious, his fist clenched firmly, and his body began to change.

His body expanded a lot, reaching a height of three meters. His whole body was covered with a layer of black armor, and two tentacles grew from the top of his head.

The next moment, a pair of sharp limbs grew from his waist, and his arms turned into the same pitch-black legs.

His whole body exudes a bloodthirsty and wild aura, which is nothing like his honest appearance just now.

He completely transformed into a terrifying monster.

"Insect-Insect fruit, Dragon Eating Ant Model!"

"It's really... an incredible ability."

Tiger's expression also became solemn, and he stood with his legs spread apart while taking a fish-man karate posture.

"Be careful, Boss Tiger."

Jinbe's voice also became hoarse, and his red eyes were full of terrifying light.

"Water Shot!"

Water droplets appeared on Jinbe's four limbs, and he swung towards Tiger fiercely.

"5,000 Brick Fiste!"

Tiger, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly punched back to meet the attack.

"Boom!!"

The water droplets in mid-air were like bullets, hitting Tiger's punch.

Even though Tiger retreated a meter or two, all those terrible attacks were blocked.

"No wonder Captain said that the Insect-Insect Fruit is very suitable for the fish-men. The already strong wrist strength, coupled with the increase of the Insect-Insect Fruit, make them really stronger than the giant."

Everyone in the sea knows that the Insect-Insect Fruit can enhance the devil fruit users' strength more than other ordinary Zoans.

Especially the Insect-Insect Fruit Ant Model.

What's more, it's the Insect-Insect Fruit of the Mythical Zoan.

What I use is the 5,000 Brick Fiste, while Jinbe just only uses ordinary water, but in the end, he hardly blocks it.

If Jinbe didn't eat the Devil Fruit two days ago.

Even if he doesn't use Fish-man karate and just ordinary physical skills, Tiger can easily defeat Jinbe.

This shows how much this Mythical Zoan devil fruit has improved Jinbe.

This is only a result of eating that devil fruit two days ago, and Jinbe has not developed it at all.

You must know that in addition to the physical enhancement itself, the Mythical Zoan also has various special abilities.

"It seems that I have to be more serious."

The corners of Tiger's mouth curled up slightly, and red flames appeared under his feet.

His feet turned into flaming hooves, and his body quickly rose and expanded. His muscles bulged up while his body became even taller and more majestic.

"Ahoo~"

A powerful roar and sound waves spread all over the area.

Jinbe did not dodge, and the sound waves hit the armor on his body without leaving even a white mark.

"Cow-Cow Fruit, Bull Demon Model!"

Tiger has thick and curved horns growing on his head, and his whole body exudes a violent and arrogant aura.

He took out a double-edged giant ax from nowhere, and the flames wrapped the axe.

He stepped forward and rushed towards Jinbe.

"Bull Demon: Head Splitter!"

Lifting the axe's handle, he slashed down hard with the force that can split mountains.

Jinbe's eyes narrowed, but he didn't even dodge. Instead, he raised his limbs to block the incoming attack.

"Dragon Ant: Sky Holder!"

"Boom!!!"

The ant's limbs collided with the flaming axe, and the sound of iron clashing with each other resounded throughout the training ground.

The terrifying shock wave with the two as the center raged in all directions.

The ground beneath Jinbe's feet cracked, and his thighs sank deeply into the ground.

"What a strong defense!!"

Looking at Jinbe's black armor with only cracks on the surface, Tiger said in amazement.

Although he did not use his full strength, the power of the Bull Demon cannot be underestimated.

"It hurts!!"

Jinbe's terrifying face was a little distorted; although the attack did not completely split his armor, it did not mean that he would not feel pain.

"Come again!"

"continue!!"

"Bang bang bang,,,,

"Boom boom boom..."

The two figures kept colliding on the training ground, and the loud explosion attracted the attention of many people.

Kaishu, who was sitting on the balcony, naturally noticed the fight between the two.

But he didn't care and instead read the newspaper in his hand.

"Tsk, tsk~Big Mom, that crazy woman, must be really angry..."

Kaishu couldn't help but chuckle after reading the newspaper.

"She has been consistently chasing the Roger Pirates for three days."
