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.
