Hastily carrying his eyes up to the right of him, Guzen looked on the towering dark giant which looked coldly on him. The wolf gnashed his teeth, then the black blood which leaked from his mouth dripped onto the floor. His huge size palm fell from the sky at a fast speed, the shadow covering Guzen became bigger and bigger as it descended.
Guzen immediately flashed the hand which had the gritty knife along the sky and met the falling palm.
boom...
The palm and Guzen hand collided, the earth under his feet cracked out to several different areas. His hand trembled as the huge amount of physical strength dropped on him mercilessly. Seeing Guzen resisting, the wolf gave a low growl then applied more pressure, simply wanting to squash him into a churned tofu.
Guzen hurriedly placed the other hand to bare the the huge loud power, He gritted his teeth as his feet further sank into the earth which then created a crater around him. The beast then moved its tail to the position of Guzen, then him slapped away in the distance.
"What incredible speed," Guzen spat out some white substance as he flew threw the air. He couldn't react at all when the beast attack making him totally defenseless, he broke through a mutlicoloured tree, then a huge trunk tree, then a massive towering tree.
boom..
Guzen smashed into the towering tree, creating a a crushed diamater area on the its trunk.
"Not good,"
Guzen was coughing saw the giant palm piercing through the air with over 50cm long nail, wanting to dodge know is impossible, the attack was to close to him. However, right when he was about to get a severe injury, the beast came to a stop as he quickly lifted in the sky.
Roar....
The beast angrily roared as he he moved further into the sky, however no matter how he struggled he couldn't break free from what was trapping him.
"Burn..."
The glimming sunny day darken, as the eternal fire of the shadows made its appearance in the space. Huge amounts of dark fire drowned the area in dreadful latent heat as it burn away the living creature to nothingness. The wolf wailed in pain but his agony never stopped until he was no longer in this world.
"Look on you, all batterned and bruised," Laffitte sneered as his taps his feet rhythmically to where Guzen was.
Guzen who had sighed a short sigh of relief, face became a little gloomy when he heard a certain voice."
" Yoy really want to die," Guzen eyes leaked immense killing intent as he looks on the tall figure.
"Now, now how can you say such a thing in your condition," Laffitte chuckled as he looked on the the wounded Guzen. His right had was basically broken, blood flowed from his body and althought no really obvious marks were on his body, his organs should have shifted. Right now he is not really in a condition to fight Laffitte at this moment.
" I told you not to underestimate it," a cold voice came from a short distance from where they stood. In a black pitched cloak, their Joshua walked slowly with the right side of him burning continuously until it became dimmer as time past by.
Guzen who heard this did not dare to say anything back to Joshua unlike how he did to Laffitte. He could only sit their with a dark expression, what Joshua did say was true, but he didn't pay attention to such words. Now he not only was he beaten, he couldn't even land a real blow on the beast, if Joshua did not save him in time he would have been seriously injured.
His fruit power had minimal effect on the beast, his guns skils, knife skills had could not hurt the wolf at all. He knows that his strength is not good in the grandline but he never thought that it was at the point he could'nt take on some random beast. This was a blow to him hut noly only Guzen but also Laffitte he might be mocking Guzen but he has also realized this.
So due to this his face was also a little gloomy, with the strength he has now he did not think his situation would be any better than Guzen.
Looking on the silent crewmates Joshua said, " its not just this beast alone with such strength, the thousands who are on the island have the same or even higher power."
"Roar...."
The winds made an instant rush in the surroundings as thousands of beast roared into the sky, the earth trembled a little as many birds shoot straight upwards into the sky.
"Thousands..."
Laffitte and Guzen eyes contracted to a thin line, thousands of such beasts are on this island, they might have seen a glimspe but the power of the wolf displayed earlier is around rear admiral. Thousands of such levels creatures are on this island, this too terrifying, they couldn't help but receive a another blow ar heart.
However, Joshua did not pay attention to their states as he continued, " you have now realized the level of strength you have in the grandline is only dregs at the bottom."
"Its best if we use this island to our advantage and strengthen ourselves."
This is the plan Joshua has for all of them, seeing Guzen was easily supressed by the wolf, Joshua cannot have them travelling around the grandline with such weak strength. They need a period to grow so they can take on the dreadfulness of the grandline.
"Thats it,"
They thought slightly, if they stay here and train under the oppression of the horrifying beasts and the huge pressure they bring they are bound to grow. Them entering the grandline doesn't mean they have to instant sail it, with the magnetic field hidden, the navy who are searching for them will not be able to locate their position.
This a total advantageous situation.
"Wise thinking captain," Laffitte lightly said, there are no looses in doing this but only advantages.
"Good, after two years we will meet back right here," Joshua said as he turned around.
"Try not to die until then...."
His voice became lower as he stepped into the dark woods.
