After the crew members of the two pirate groups watched their captain acting like a lunatic for a while, they found a nearby wild uninhabited island to dock and started having a banquet.
During the banquet, Kazan's red eyes kept darting and darting, secretly choosing partners for his younger brothers and sisters to be their sparring partner.
Hey hey hey.
After finally meeting the red-haired pirates, we must make good use of them, otherwise we will lose blood.
Kazan and Shanks sat in front of the fire, drank and bragged, and then talked ill of Mihawk's dwarf together. They were very happy.
Shanks didn't ask about the changes in Kazan's eyes and aura, and Kazan didn't ask about Shanks' broken left arm, injured left eye, or the missing straw hat.
The two of them had doubts, but they also understood each other tacitly.
"Don't worry, hehehe."
"Oh... forget it, just in time, this time I enter the Grand Line, I plan to directly enter the new world. Before that, let's have a final training session."
The man of destiny has been found. Shanks feels that it is almost time to go to the new world first and visit the reclusive old people.
...
The next morning, the hellish bonding training between the Monster Pirates and the Red-haired Pirates began, with Kazan as the main organizer.
Needless to say, Kazan, of course, corresponded to Shanks, and Shanks also wanted to practice with Kazan to get used to the state where he only had one arm left.
Feng Clay's opponent was a guy with dark circles under his eyes comparable to Akin. It was impossible to tell what the opponent was fighting with just by looking at him.
I just heard from Shanks that if you can't maintain a highly concentrated thinking and a clear head when fighting that guy, you will be beaten to the point where you can't fight back.
As the second eldest son of the monster family, Funkley is the one who puts the most pressure on Kazan. Not only must he be strong enough, but he must also have the ability to support the overall situation and the brains to take care of everything when Kazan is not present.
In order to train Fon Clay to keep a cool head in battle, Kazan made the man with dark circles as Fon Clay's opponent.
Bellamy's opponent was a tall man with purple hair. Kazan guessed that he was a heavily armored warrior from the red-haired pirate group, and his weapon was a sword.
Monet's opponent was a short man with a beret on his head, yellow curly hair, and according to Shanks, he was a very agile assassin who would use both a gun and a dagger during the battle.
Fighting against this kind of opponent is a great test of the domineering level of the opponent. Monet's position is quite high. Kazan believes that among all the combinations, Monet's group is the only one that can even match the opponent's level.
As for the strength of Robin, Akin, Tiga, and Perona... they were neither above nor below, and it was difficult to find opponents. In the end, Kazan arranged for the rest of the team! It was just a perfect opportunity to practice their tacit understanding.
Then comes the last little sugar!
Sugar vs. Ben Beckman, Lucky Lu, Jesus.
Shanks was stunned when he heard this combination. According to previous impressions, Kazan dotes on this little thing the most. Why is he so cruel this time?
But think about what the three of them have in common - they are all masters with guns.
"Sugar is the sniper on your ship?"
"Yeah! He threatened to be the only sniper of the monster family. Since he is so unchanging and super strong, he can't do it."
"In this case...Beckman, Lackey, and Jesus Bu will become the masters of sugar."
"Ang! That's right, that was my original plan, to let Shatang become my disciples to the three of them."
"..."
It was really hard for Shanks to imagine that Ben Beckman was a mid-range long-barreled pistol user, Lucky Lu was a short-range short-barreled pistol user, and Jesus Bu was a long-range sniper rifle user. They were taught by these three people.
What does a shooter look like?
After the arrangements were made, the entire island was directly divided into several areas, which were the places for each group to train and fight.
Kazan and Shanks discussed it, and although neither of them was in a hurry, Shanks had an agreement with one of his seniors in the Grand Line, so he couldn't stay too long.
It was finally decided that the training would last four months, and they would gather here again four months later. They would spend the entire summer of 1509 on this island.
After this training, the Monster Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates will probably become a 'brother' pirate group similar to the Sun Pirates.
But in terms of overall strength, compared to the Sun Pirates, the Monster Pirates are the "brothers", but compared to the Red Hair Pirates, the Monster Pirates are the "brothers".
Both a teacher and a friend.
At the beginning of the training, except for Kazan and Shanks who entered the state directly, basically both sides were more or less awkward and unfamiliar. However, during the battle, this unfamiliarity will dissipate as quickly as possible, so there is no
question.
But there is only one battlefield where the picture is strange.
That's the battleground for sugar.
Granu held the long-barreled shotgun in one hand and the revolver in the other. She stood there blankly looking at the three gun barrels on her head.
"Ooooooooooooooooooo!"
"...crying again."
"Hey, hey, what are we going to do? Why don't you eat some meat? It's delicious."
"We are... totally raising a baby."
The three grown men squatted beside Granu, trying to coax her but didn't know how to coax her. They couldn't train such a cute little guy harshly, so the three of them became headless flies.
On the battlefield, which one of the three of them is not a powerful and feared person, but when it comes to raising children, none of them are really good at it.
"Don't cry, don't cry. I have a son named 'Usopp'. He should be about the same age as you now. He definitely doesn't cry as much as you do."
"Tangtang is a girl┭┮﹏┭┮...Usopp?"
"Hmm...have you heard of it?"
"We just left Xiluobu Village."
“Ehhhh!!!”
...
Originally, Jesus was the most casual one among the three and didn't take this time seriously at all. However, after learning about Sugar's identity as Usopp's 'rival', he became the most serious one.
Jesus knew very well that a person needs an equally matched opponent to become stronger. In order to give Usopp the motivation to become stronger, he decided to train Sugar well so that Sugar could become Usopp's "equal" opponent.
It took a week for three grown men and one little thing to get along. Each of the three had their own abilities, and within a week they had become a trustworthy presence in Sugar's heart.
Although Lucky Lu looks naive, he is unexpectedly gentle and has very good cooking skills. He is like a warm man and soon got along happily with Sugar.
As for Ben Beckman, his image is more like a 'strict father', and he is also the most serious about 'training Sugar' because it is Shanks' order.
Although he couldn't bear it, he would still work hard to give various strict training instructions to Sugar.
And Sugar thought of how Sabo called Kazan every day, and started to call the three of them "Master".
