Golden-Haired Monkey?
Unbeknownst, 10 days later, on this day, along the coastline, stood 200 recruits unlike any before, exuding a rugged, fierce aura.
Clang… Clang… Nokiyoru paced in front of these recruits, his face tense and dissatisfied, particularly so.
“Clang… Tell me, why are there only 200 out of 300? Shockingly, 20 companions dead and 80 eliminated due to selfishness. I find it hard to understand.”
Roaring, Nokiyoru berated loudly, “Are you all idiots? What did I say initially? Unity, resorting to any means to survive. But now, you’ve shown me through action: 20 comrades dead, 80 eliminated for selfish reasons. Well done…”
Lowering their heads, dressed in tattered military uniforms like beggars, each wounded recruit hung their heads in dismay.
“Raise your heads. For the next 20 days, I don’t want to see any deaths or eliminations.”
“We understand,” a resounding reply.
“Anyone proficient in Six Forms, step forward.”
Clap… Clap… Twenty individuals stood up straight.
“Very well, each of you will lead ten others. The next ten days will focus on mastering the Six Forms.”
“Pakas.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Within ten days, half of these 200 must grasp at least one form. Train as instructed.” Turning to Pakas, Nokiyoru continued sternly, “Remember, you have only ten days to learn the Six Forms.”
“Yes…”
“Commence.”
With enthusiasm, the 200 recruits began a thousand push-ups, five hundred frog jumps…
Watching the training recruits, Nokiyoru’s gaze shifted towards the central area.
“Pakas, come with me.” Turning, Nokiyoru moon-stepped into the naval barracks.
“Vice Admiral.”
“Have some.” Inside the room, Nokiyoru produced a Devil Fruit.
“Vice Admiral, I…”
Flushed, trembling, Pakas hesitated, hardly believing.
“This is the Supa Supa no Mi. It’s an incredibly powerful fruit. Here’s the manual. Study it well. I hope to have someone among my subordinates who can rival a Rear Admiral.”
“Vice Admiral, I…”
“Eat it. Grow stronger.” Setting down the fruit, Nokiyoru patted the young man’s shoulder. “I hope you won’t disappoint me.” With that said, Nokiyoru opened the door, intending to explore the central area.
“Vice Admiral…”
Nokiyoru halted.
“I swear, I will follow Vice Admiral for life, through heaven and earth, through mountains of blades and seas of fire, only Vice Admiral.”
“Then I’ll wait. Let’s roam the world together.” Without turning, Nokiyoru opened the door, gradually disappearing.
“Vice Admiral, thank you… Thank you for giving me hope. I’ve made up my mind to follow you for life.” Eyes burning with determination, Pakas vowed that anyone who dared harm the Vice Admiral would find no resting place in death.
No one knew that this small gesture would gain Nokiyoru, a genuinely loyal brother and steadfast support in times of adversity.
Meanwhile, Nokiyoru had long vanished from the coastline.
On Beast Island, in the central region, Nokiyoru strolled alone.
