White Tiger

72. Daily Training



Since Vegapunk arrival, a week had passed. 

Under the snowy mountain of Karakuri island, bunch of bare-chested men were seen jogging through the thick snow, their skin were red due to the freezing temperature, yet they maintained their steady pace and gritted their teeth showing perseverance. 

"Go faster you bunch of bumbling fools! There's still another mountain to traverse!!!" Leading them, Enel who always been bare-chested shouted full of vigor. 

"Daigin! Are you slowing down? Do you want to taste my fist?!" 

"No sir!" 

"Rome! If you can not keep up i'll send you to become Seaking's food!" 

"Pant* pant* no, no sir!" Rome who had the worse physique than the other tried to keep up the pace, his face was pale and his limbs freezing. 

"Anyone who come last! I'll remind you now, you idiots will regret that!!!" 

Enel then increasing his pace, leaving his subordinates struggling behind. Even though his body underwent a massive transformation, he never ditched his effort to train and temper his body. 

Thinking about his loss against King his fellow Lunarian, Enel gritted his teeth and pushed himself further. 

While Kimimaro's mission had been successful, their squadron were still stationed in Karakuri to assist the World Government business lead by Stussy to build a Marine Base in Baldimore before Vegapunk left toward his new laboratory in Punk island in New World. 

It was a deal proposed by the Doctor, he wanted some form of protection for his legacy in Baldimore especially for the people living on it, as he knew, once he left, Baldimore would be prone to Pirates attack due to fact Karakuri island contained his legacy.

The World Government agreed and send Stussy to assist the doctor for moving, carrying all of his research results from Baldimore and build a Marine Base. 

When the sun was up in the sky, the group of Marines could be seen panting and exhausted under the Bolt mountain, they couldn't feel their limbs anymore and with the order to not use their Rokushiki(6 forms) whilst training, they couldn't help but felt overwhelmed. 

Baldimore has perpetual temperature under zero degree, and the warmest they could get at noon was only minus 6 degrees.

And so, the doctor while Stussy had been busy ordering her men to build Marine Base, took his time to perfected the climate device he had once created and asking Kimimaro assistance which the later agreed wholeheartedly. 

Soon, the marine who were still exhausted saw Enel carried the unconscious Rome who at some point fell down and unable to continue, letting himself being embraced by the snowy ground. 

"Who told you to sit? STAND UP!!!" Enel voice thundered under the bolt mountain. 

"SIR! YES SIR!" 

Immedately with Daigin lead, the Marines who shivering because of cold, lined up quickly and tried their best to endure the grueling training which had been underway for at least a week.

Seeing the men lining up, Enel who about to gave and instruction frowned and said, 

"Daigin move the men from there ASAP!!!" 

Hearing Enel urgent command, Daigin and the rest immediately moved and just as they wondered what happened, 

*BOOM!!! 

A massive amount of snow and gravel flew away from their initial spot! the snow was suddenly plowed away after a humanoid figure fell from the mountain top! 

The Marines were bewildered by the occurance, however, soon they shrugged their shoulder simultaneously after seeing a figure coming from behind the floating snow. 

"Don't you have any better spot to fall? Why are you always falling on top of our men?!" Enel grunted clearly feeling dissatisfied. 

"Hahaha, who asked you to line up under the mountain?" the figure waved his hand nonchalantly before he climb the mountain cliff once again toward the top. 

Seeing the figure agilely clImbing up the mountan, Enel snorted while the Marines had a helpless smile etched on their face, 

"What are you laughing at?! Bastards! go follow the captain and climb the mountain 5 times! The last men will have to answer me later!!!" 

The Marines flinched by the order and soon, like monkeys began to climb up quickly following behind Kimimaro who had reached the middle section of the mountain.

Nodding his head slightly, Enel glanced at Rome who almost become a popsicle in his hand, letting out a sigh, he immediately disappear using his ability to send the poor boy back toward Vegapunk base. 

After Enel return, he immediately climbing the mountains in order to train himself, without his ability nor Haki, only pure muscle power! While occasionally he looked upwards to check on the Marines preventing any accident to happen.

The daily training consisting on strength, agility and combat finally concluded after dusk. As usual, the Marines help each other to return towards the base with exhausted look while some of them begurdgingly received additional training under Enel supervision.
