Jozu, who was fond of talking about the Eight Inner Gates, sought out a peaceful location on Dillock Island to practice his techniques.
Jozu proclaims himself as the Whitebeard Pirates "Radiant beast" while referring to the self-proclaimed title of Konoha's " Green Beast" Might Guy.
"Even though I'm 40 years old, as Guy once said, the power of youth is infinite!"
Jozu, inspired by Guy's youthful spirit, began practicing the Eight Inner Gates. Unlike Guy, Jozu had a superior basic physique due to the nature of One piece. In contrast, the people in the Naruto World had a fragile basic physique, which was evident from their battles where they usually sustained injuries. Thus, Jozu didn't need to spend a lot of time training himself.
"Activate the FIRST GATE: THE GATE OF OPENING, release!" Jozu yelled.
Jozu stepped heavily on the ground, causing it to vibrate and dust to rise.
Jozu laughed at himself "I see, it's not easy to cultivate such a powerful technique like the Eight Inner Gates."
Jozu didn't let the difficulty of developing the Eight Inner Gates discourage him. He kept focusing and practicing.
"Activate the FIRST GATE: THE GATE OF OPENING, release!" he yelled again
Jozu practiced for a while longer, repeating the process of trying to open the gate over and over again. However, he still couldn't break through the limits of his brain area. He was frustrated and felt like a failure, despite having been given such a powerful physical ability by Majima. He even wondered if he was his father's most useless son. As the sun set in the west, he realized he had been practicing for half a day without making any progress.
As Jozu was feeling down, the "Might Guy 'The Leaf's Noble Green Beast' Biography" fell from his hands. It was a book borrowed from Majima's studio, and although Jozu had not told Majima about it, he had no intention of keeping it for himself. As he looked at the book, memories of Guy's impressive kick flooded his mind. It was a fierce attack that Guy used to protect the most important thing to him, even if it meant breaking his body and bones. This memory gave Jozu a renewed sense of determination.
"Might Guy can be so determined to protect the one he loves. Am I going to give up so easily just because of a little setback?"
Jozu realized that even the Might Guy faced setbacks and failures when practicing the Eight Inner Gates. However, he always maintained an optimistic attitude. With this realization, Jou picked up the "Might Guy 'The Leaf's Noble Green Beast' Biography" again and looked through it with renewed determination.
"My youth is burning!" he yelled excitedly.
Despite experiencing repeated failures, Might Guy didn't let it get to him and maintained an optimistic attitude. He smiled and made a gesture before continuing to practice.
Jozu's eyes widened in shock as he looked around his surroundings, realizing that he was in Konoha Village.
Jozu couldn't believe it, he was shocked to find out that he was in Konoha Village, which was impossible. He confirmed the reality by stepping on the ground and touching the nearby trees.
"Did I come to Guy's world?" Jozu was confused and didn't know how he ended up in the Konoha Village.
Jozu tried to compose himself and started walking forward with a mixture of excitement and admiration, as he was approaching his idol.
"Excuse me, Guy sensei, I'm Jozu, the third division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. Nice to meet you." he said admiringly.
After Jozu introduced himself and tried to get Might Guy's attention, the latter continued his practice as if he hadn't seen Jozu. Jozu continued to talk, but suddenly Might Guy walked towards him and Might Guy's just went right through Jozu's body as if he wasn't even there.
"What!?" At this moment, Jozu was dumbfounded.
He froze for a while, then watched Might Guy take a sip of the water next to him, then walked back.
and Guy still just went right through him.
"In other words, I am invisible to him and do not exist in his world."
Jozu attempted to grab Might Guy, but his hand went through him. He hit the ground with such force that it cracked. However, the cracks disappeared quickly as if the ground refreshed like in a game.
"I am just an observer in this world, and I cannot affect anything here."
"This is a wonderful chance for me! I can train with Guy in Eight Inner Gates. If Guy can do it, then I, Jozu, can also do it!"
Jozu regained his confidence and became energized, fully immersed in his training with Guy. Time seemed to fly by quickly. In the world of comics you are not affected by hunger or tiredness, and can continue practicing or fighting for extended periods without feeling the need to rest or eat. He lost track of how many days had passed as he dedicated himself to his practice.
"Activate the FIRST GATE: THE GATE OF OPENING, release!" he yelled
Jozu's entire body shook as he stamped the ground and clenched his fists to his waist and abdomen. As if a deep part of his brain had been awakened, a sensation spread throughout his entire mind. All of his brain cells were now fully activated. Suddenly, there was an explosion within his body, like a small universe exploding. He was filled with incredible strength and speed. If Jozu's power and speed could be visualized with an energy bar like in a video game, it would have broken through the maximum limit in an instant, soaring high into the sky.
Meanwhile in the cabin, the system prompt sounded in Majima's mind.
[Ding! ...]
