Chapter 21 : Journey Back to Drum Island, Training the Tontatta Warriors!

With the Tontatta tribe's warriors following him, Dylan had no choice but to return to Drum Kingdom by normal ship. As much as he wanted to flash all of them with his devil fruit, neither Princess Mansherry nor Leo could withstand the friction caused by ultra-high-speed movement.

This is why Dylan told Dr. Kureha from the very beginning that he would need a month to go back.

Halfway through the voyage, the two CP organization ships came together. Dylan looked at the CP0 who had never shown his face and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

CP0 put the suitcase in his hand in front of Dylan and took out a small box from his arms. "This is the fruit that Mariejois promised you earlier, and what you commissioned Vegapunk to make."

"Huh!?" Dylan ignored the suitcase on the ground and took the small box in his hands first.

A silver-gray ring lay in the box.

"Vegapunk said that the ring itself is made of a special alloy. At present, no one or any means can destroy it with brute force. Of course, some weird fruit abilities cannot be ruled out."

Dylan put the ring on his finger, and a strange feeling appeared in his consciousness. Looking at the suitcase on the ground and CP0 standing opposite, Dylan raised his hand with the ring on it and waved it, trying its new power.

And suddenly, the CP0 agent in front of him disappears from his sight and the only way he knows that the agent is still alive is because of his superb observation haki. His perception could see the CP0 agent standing in the empty abandoned ship one mile from his spot.

"..."

He could hear the whisper from the agent even with how far their distance is."...Don't make such silly jokes, let me out, I still have a task."

Dylan's mind moved, and CP0 appeared in place again.

"Yes, I am very satisfied." Dylan looked at the ring on his hand with great joy. Space ring is awesome! He could think a lot of its usage in his hand, and he couldn't wait for it!

Shaking his head, Dylan turned his attention toward the suitcase before picking it up and opening it. There, he could see a devil fruit shining from the suitcase, silently begging for anyone to eat it. It was a red-gold Devil Fruit, and the texture of the fruit showed a sharp feather.

"What type is it?" CP0 looked at the fruit in his hand and seemed a little envious before he answered Dylan's question. "Mythical Zoan - Tori-Tori no Mi model -Garuda Form."

Garuda!? That is a powerful mythological creature here! Gaining its power would be a boost for his troop! Unfortunately, at present, he doesn't have anyone suitable for eating this fruit. But it is always right to collect more good things.

After putting away the fruit, Dylan watched for a while at the four Tontatta warriors practicing on the ship.

"Hey, Leo!"

When Leo heard Dylan's voice, he came to Dylan's side in an instant.

"Dylan-sama!" Leo stood seriously in front of Dylan as if waiting for his order.

"Huh? Why are you so serious?" Dylan was a little surprised.

After hesitating for a moment, Leo said, "The elder told me before we departed that we came here bearing the fate of the Tontatta clan and carrying the name of 'justice' at the same time! So please tell me anything."

"You are really reliable, 'Captain' Leo." Leo looked at Dylan who is a little bit embarrassed, but still tensed his small body.

"It's this Leo. Your racial talent is very special. Of course, I don't mean farming ability, but your physical fitness."

The Tontatta tribe even though they are way smaller compared to the other races is born with strength several times higher than that of humans. Leo and Wicca even though they look harmless, they carried even dozens of times stronger than ordinary people. They are short in size but very fast in action, which is very suitable for infiltrating the battlefield to find weak points.

"I think of something that is very suitable for you, and it should be easy for you to master with your talents."

"What is it, Dylan-sama?" Leo's eyes lit up. As a fighter, he also craves power. Especially when Princess Princess Mansherry and her companions were taken away, but there was nothing he could do.

"One is a technique unique to Marine called Six Forms. One is Haki." After thinking for a while, Dylan said, "Although Marine Six Styles has seven moves, I don't think the others are suitable for you. You can just focus on practicing Shaved, Moonwalk, and Finger Pistol. As for Haki... If your strength is combined with the hardening, your combat effectiveness should be significantly improved."

On the way to Drum Island, Dylan carefully explained the use of the Six Styles and Haki to them. In order to avoid his own explanations not being detailed enough, Dylan also pulled out CP0 as a guest lecturer from time to time.

Although Six Styles is known as "Marine Six Styles", the real expert has to be "CP Organization". So, having one of the best CP agents to train them would become beneficial for his subordinates.

After hearing the lecture from the CP0 agent in front of him, Leo suddenly stood up, leaning his body forward to prepare the move. And a second later,

"Shave!"

Leo's figure flashed, and if it wasn't for Dylan's strong sense of knowledge, he wouldn't even be able to capture his movements.

"Not bad, Leo! Your first try and you have already been successful! This move is really suitable for you."

"Thank you very much! Dyla-sama!!" Leo stood in front of Dylan and bowed. Just when Dylan was about to be polite and praised him, the whole ship suddenly shook wildly.

Boom!

In the far corner, Wicca was crazily hammering the deck, "Damn it, why am I so weak!! Why am I so stupid, why can't I always learn!!"

Looking at the cracked deck, CP0 and Leo who were standing next to Dylan, exchanged glances.

"..."

"..."

"That...Wicca...Wicca...Wicca!!! Don't hammer it! If you hammer it down, the ship will sink!!"

Seeing the little girl whose both hands were covered with armament haki, kneeling in the corner and beating the deck frantically because she couldn't shave as quickly as Leo, Dylan hurriedly stopped her immediately.

"Ah!!? Dylan-sama!! I'm sorry, have I caused you trouble again!? I'm such an idiot, damn it, I..."

Seeing that Wicca was about to lie down on the ground and cause secondary damage to the deck, Dylan hurriedly said loudly, "Stop, stop! Don't hammer yet! Although the ship is not our own, it will delay the journey if the hammer breaks."

CP0 turned his head and looked at Dylan expressionlessly. Wicca walked up to Dylan wiping her tears, and cried, "Dylan-sama..."

Dylan stretched out his hand, and Wicca jumped onto his hand with some embarrassment. Looking at Wicca who was still crying, Dylan flicked her forehead lightly.

"Who said you were weak?"

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Wicca's tears immediately fell again, "Leo and the others all learned about the six styles and have been successful on their first try, yet I couldn't understand for a bit about what he said..." The girl cried while pointing her fingers at the CP0 agent. But that was not what Dylan focused on. After thinking for a while, he asked the little girl a simple question,

"Didn't you learn Armament Haki?"

"Armament... Haki?"

"When you hammered the boat just now, didn't you notice anything wrong?"

Wicca raised her hand and wiped her tears, "No... I just feel stupid and sad..."

Awakening the haki unconsciously? But this character... tsk, forget it, leave it to Bellmere. They were women anyway. She would know how to deal with a low-esteemed person like her.

After finally appeasing Wicca, the ship finally arrived at Drum Island.

When everyone returned to Dr. Kureha's residence, Bellmere had already woken up. The moment she saw Dylan, Bellmere grinned, "I caused you trouble, Dylan."

Dylan gave her a blank look, and said angrily, "Now you know why I didn't bother with the pirates in New World yet, do you?"

Bellmere laughed loudly, "Ah~ah~!! I'm sorry! And thank you for saving me!"

Although both of them were tough marine bastards, they know how to be grateful to their benefactor. That's why the first thing she did when she woke up was to thank Dr. Kureha for her help.

Dr. Kureha herself was sitting by Bellmere's bed drinking wine, showing a relieved face when she saw Dylan come back. Bellmere's injury is indeed beyond the ability of ordinary people to heal. The only thing she could do is keeping her alive, not save her wound. Now the question is, what is he going to do?

"Princess Mansherry...please." Dylan turned his head to look at Princess Mansherry sitting on his shoulder, asking her with a serious expression.

When Princess Mansherry flew out, Dylan suddenly thought of something and said aloud again, "It's enough to heal her injury, princess. Don't waste your life to let her return to her original state, your health is also very important. It would also be a lesson for her."

Princess Mansherry in the air was startled, and she twisted her hands together. She originally planned to use special abilities to heal the wounds of the woman in front of her. After all... this was the first time Dylan-sama had asked her to do something.

"Tontatta tribe?" Dr. Kureha looked at Princess Mansherry, a little puzzled. They are famous for their ability to farm, not to heal. So, what is this little girl going to do?

Then, suddenly, two crystal clear teardrops slid down Princess Mansherry's cheeks, and Princess Mansherry held them in her hands and sprinkled them on Bellmere. With only two breaths, Bellmere's body recovered. Dr. Kureha who saw that suddenly realized what happened.

"Healing fruit?" Dr. Kureha said with a smile, "It's really a remarkable ability." But before she could ask anything,

Snapped!

The sound outside of the room suddenly snapped them from their own thought. When they turned around, they could see next to the wall in the distance, a civet cat... No, a reindeer hides its head in the wall, and its body is exposed.

"Chopper, come here, they are my friends, nothing to be afraid of. They are good people." Bellmere waved toward the reindeer.

"Hey~~~ Bellmere..., Where are your injuries!?" Chopper looked at Bellmere who had recovered from her health, and was very surprised.

"Well, it is because of the 'healing fruit' that can cure all diseases and injuries that improved my recovery speed. Of course, Dr. Chopper's care these days is also very important. Chopper is a very amazing doctor."

"I... I... I am not happy!!! Even if you praise me so much, I won't be happy~~~~"
