"Stop, stop, stop, Captain! Just tell us all the abilities we know you have!" Shanks quickly stopped Tianqi, already numb from hearing about so many abilities.
"Hmm... I can do almost everything. In short, you need to know that the Navy's human wave tactics are useless against me. No admiral, marshal, or Five Elders are a match for me. There are only two people in this world who are worthy of my serious attention!" As he said this, two figures appeared in Tian Qi's mind, and they were each other's opponents.
"Who are these two people that even the captain has to take seriously?" Beckman asked with a puzzled look.
“One is Joy Boy, who is said to be the strongest leader of the D clan and an enemy of the gods, but he is already dead, so we don’t need to worry about him. As for the other, there is the god Im, who is said to have lived for hundreds of years and is the current mastermind behind the world government. He is a true top-level powerhouse!” Although Tian Qi did not know how strong Im was, someone who could live for hundreds of years was definitely a ruthless character.
Beckman and Hancock were both somewhat surprised by what Tianqi said. Unlike them, Shanks' eyes widened. Joy Boy and the D. clan were his biggest secrets, secrets told to him by the Pirate King Roger. However, Tianqi had revealed them to him. How could he not be shocked?
"Captain, how do you know about these things? Have you been to that place before?" Shanks asked, frowning. The others looked at Shanks with puzzled expressions, wondering what he was talking about.
Tianqi naturally knew what Shanks was talking about. He neither confirmed nor denied it, but said calmly, "There are some minor things I don't know, but I understand some important things better than anyone else, including the Nika Fruit!"
After saying this, Tianqi squinted at Shanks, who was standing there in shock. He knew all too well about what happened on the final island, and as for Im, who was known as a god, Tianqi had a premonition that the opportunity for him to leave the pirate world lay with Im.
"Captain, could you be the Awakener, the one who will end divine authority?" Shanks asked tentatively, regaining his senses.
"What Awakener? What Nika Fruit? Captain, Shanks, what are you talking about?" Beckman looked puzzled. He didn't understand a word of their conversation. Of course, if Beckman didn't understand, the three Hancock sisters were even more confused.
"You're overthinking it. I'm not the person you're thinking of, and ending divine authority isn't something I want to do. I just want to challenge Im!" Tian Qi shook his head, though he was also secretly excited about challenging Im.
"Is that so..." For some reason, Shanks felt a little disappointed when he heard Tianqi deny it. He really hoped that the person was Tianqi, because Tianqi was very powerful. If he were that person, he could end the divine authority and usher in a new era of peace. Unfortunately, it wasn't him. It was such a pity.
"Don't go around talking about what happened today. This is a secret of the world. Just keep it to yourselves, understand?" Tian Qi said seriously. Some things, if said carelessly, would only bring them death.
"Don't worry, Captain, we absolutely won't say anything. We guarantee that no one else will know except for us!" Beckman and the three Hancock sisters also assured that they wouldn't say anything. After all, they had only heard a vague explanation and didn't understand what it meant at all. All they knew was that the person behind the World Government was someone named Im.
"Captain, the navy has left now. Should we continue sailing?" Beckman asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, Tian Qi thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "Let's not set sail anymore. Let's stop on this island. This is an excellent place for cultivation. We will begin our three-year cultivation here. I hope everyone can improve their strength during these two years. After two years, we will set sail again!"
Maggi Island is an excellent place to practice swordsmanship, and it's already in the New World. If you continue forward, the only way to reach the treasure of the final island mentioned by Pirate King Roger is to go to the island. Tian Qi already knows about this treasure, so he might as well use that time to train and improve his strength.
Shanks, Beckman, and the others nodded in agreement. Ever since their pirate crew was formed, Tianqi had always been the one protecting them. They were too weak to contribute much, and it was indeed time to improve their strength.
“Then I’ll go find a place to settle the boat, and you guys can find a place to settle down on the island!” Beckman said calmly.
"Okay, the boat is yours now!"
Tianqi nodded, then led Shanks and the others off the ship and back onto Maggici Island to find a place to settle down. They would then undergo two years of training to improve their strength.
However, when Tian Qi and his group settled down, they found five old men gathered in a circle in a luxurious palace, having a discussion. These five were none other than the Five Elders, who sat high in the Holy Land.
"Isn't it too bad to let Uchiha Tenki run rampant like this? This person's level of danger has already surpassed that of a dragon!"
"It's no longer a question of whether to let it go or not. The abilities that Uchiha Tenki has shown are beyond our capabilities. Now, our only path is to increase our strength!"
"Yes, Fourth Brother is right. Now we can only try our best to improve our strength and wait quietly for the Master's next move!"
Yes, the order to cancel the capture operation was given by the strongest being, Im. Im discovered Tianqi when he released his complete Susanoo. As for why he didn't immediately attack Tianqi, only Im himself knows.
“Speaking of which, Uchiha Tenki is really mysterious. According to my careful investigation, before the Sabaody Archipelago, there was not a single piece of information about him anywhere. It’s as if he just appeared out of thin air. He’s really unfathomable!” said a slightly younger person.
"Fifth brother, there's no point in investigating these things now. Since the master has personally ordered that he be let go, let's leave him alone for now and just keep an eye on his movements!"
“The second brother is right. Our goal now is to improve our strength and break through, so that we can contribute to the master’s future actions!” The oldest man said slowly. He was the strongest of the five elders here and their leader, the one with decision-making power.
While the Five Elders were discussing, the Marine Headquarters, including Kong, Sengoku, and Garp, also discussed the burgeoning pirates on the sea. Their final decision was to recruit some powerful pirates to become the Seven Warlords of the Sea. As for the candidates, they did not rush into it but planned to observe and select them slowly.
Time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye. In these six years, Tianqi has also honed his swordsmanship to its peak. As for just how strong he has become, we will find out in time.
"We were supposed to leave in two years, but we've been here for six years. Cultivating swordsmanship is indeed not easy. I wonder how Shanks and the others are doing now. It's time to set off and join them!" With that, Tianqi slowly walked through the bustling streets of Maggie toward the coast.
Shanks and Beckman hit a roadblock in their third year and went off the island to seek a breakthrough, while the three Hancock sisters also set sail two years ago, leaving only Skye on the island.
Tianqi arrived at the coast, cut down a few trees to build himself a small, dilapidated raft, and went out to sea. The small, dilapidated raft drifted away with the wind into the distance.
"That plague god is finally gone! If he hadn't left, I would have left this place!"
"You're lucky you weren't tortured by him too much. I was dragged to practice swordsmanship at least forty times, which drove me to the brink of collapse!"
"What's that compared to what you guys did? He chased me around and made me practice over a hundred times. His invincible swordsmanship almost made me give up on swordsmanship!"
The moment Tianqi left, the sword masters of Maggi Island were overjoyed. For the past six years, whenever he had free time, he would seek out various sword masters to practice his swordsmanship. However, these sword masters were not highly talented masters like Ryūta Ryōma and Hawkeye Mihawk. They were defeated by Tianqi in different ways every day and never won once. After being tormented for six years, it was normal for them to be in this state now.
