Marco's explanation made Jozu realize the terrifying power of the Phoenix flame.
Jozu expressed his admiration after fully grasping the power of the Phoenix flame: "I'm not surprised that Brother Majima became the captain. The more I see the powerful abilities in these comics, the more I realize how amazing his vision is!"
Marco suddenly had an idea and exclaimed, "Wait a minute! We've been so focused on our own powers that we forgot about our fellow crewmates. Majima has a huge collection of comics, and if everyone in the crew can obtain powerful abilities from these comics, our strength as the Whitebeard Pirates will skyrocket!"
Jozu agreed and said, "Actually, during that one year you are in the comic book, I also mastered the third gate: The Gate of Life. I just forgot to mention it because of your new transformation. It's not fair to keep it a secret from our fellow captains."
Jozu proceeds to demonstrate his proficiency in using the "Third Gate: The Gate of Life" by opening it, resulting in his skin turning red. This gate, located on the spinal cord, causes other physical effects such as disappearing pupils, standing hair, and bulging veins all over the body. With this gate open, the user can perform the Reverse Lotus.
"Jozu, that looks like a powerful technique!" remarked Marco.
In this world, strength is the most valued attribute, and those in positions of power are typically the strongest. Even the World Government's highest authority, The Gorosei are incredibly powerful individuals.
The Whitebeard Pirates' captains were concerned about going to war with the Marines because their collective strength couldn't match that of the Navy, particularly with the Seven Warlords of the Sea on their side and the World Government behind them.
It's clear that in any potential war, the Whitebeard Pirates would have to be willing to lay down their lives. However, the discovery of powerful abilities through the comic books that the crew collects could be a game-changer and give them a chance to compete on a more level playing field.
Jozu expressed his excitement and suggested, "We should ask Brother Majima for permission first before distributing the comic collections to the other Captains. If we don't get his approval and something goes wrong, we would be in trouble."
Marco is also in full agreement with Jozu's proposal. "Indeed, Majima is the acting captain of our crew, so it's only proper that we seek his counsel on important matters."
After discussing for a while, they quickly made their way to the Moby Dick.
...
In the moby dick
Majima received a system prompt about the progress of his crewmates.
[Ding! Marco had successfully activated the first level of the Phoenix Bloodline, and the host's own progress in activating the same bloodline was synchronized with Marco.]
[Ding! Jozu completed the training of the Third gate: Gate of life of the Eight Inner Gates, and Host obtained the training progress simultaneously. ]
[Ding! Host gets 80,000 energy points! ! ! ]
These brought a smile to Majima's face, making him feel like he was reaping rewards without even trying. He could now draw ten consecutive gold draws, but the rate at which he could harvest energy points was now much faster than before.
He was collecting 1 million mysterious energy points at a rapid pace, enough to start a diamond ten consecutive draw. With the rewards for 10 consecutive diamond draws being much richer than those from gold draws.
He felt that the chance of getting a Devil Fruit would be much greater as well. Additionally, there could be even better rewards besides Devil Fruit for the ten consecutive diamond draws, which was highly possible, given that the rewards in the krypton gold card game in his previous life increased in types and quality based on the player's krypton gold grade. As a system, the "God-level Comic System" couldn't have the same types of prizes for low-level and high-level lotteries.
Majima furrowed his brow "Should I draw 10 gold in a row first, or wait for the diamond draw once I reach 1 million energy points?"
He was struggling with the question when he heard Marco and Jozu's voices at the door.
"Brother Majima, please pardon us for interrupting you again."
"Apologies for disturbing you, Majima."
Despite their thick skins, Marco and Jozu felt a bit embarrassed about bothering Majima for a second time. "It's alright," Majima reassured them, smiling.
He then turned to the two and said, "Oh, and Brother Jozu, I heard that you have completed the training of the Third gate of Eight Inner Gates! What a remarkable talent! And Brother Marco, are you happy with the activation of your phoenix bloodline?"
Marco and Jozu were both surprised and exchanged looks with each other, feeling a tingling sensation on their scalp. They hadn't even said anything yet, and yet Majima already seemed to know what had happened.
Last time, he was able to tell that Jozu's Eight Inner Gates practice had improved, but now he had somehow even seen that Marco had obtained the blood of the Phoenix. They couldn't help but be impressed by Majima's extraordinary abilities.
"Majima I'm extremely thankful! Even though we are all brothers, I still want to express my gratitude, you set a great example for our generation by sharing such a powerful ability with us," Marco said sincerely.
It's rare for someone to willingly share their powerful abilities with others. In fact, over 90% of people would refuse to do so, even with something as simple as cooking. Most chefs would hold onto some secret techniques to prevent their apprentices from surpassing them. However, Majima is different. He has no such reservations and it's truly admirable.
Majima replied with a smile, "You're just teasing, Marco. We are all brothers here, and I am delighted to see your progress. Your improvement brings me great joy!"
Majima thought to himself, 'Why would I be upset? Your strength improving only means greater benefits for me."
"By the way, what brings you back here?" Majima asked.
Majima wondered inwardly, 'Do you have time to spare for visiting me, you should be focusing on your practice and providing me with a steady stream of energy points?'
Marco appeared somewhat apologetic as he expressed, "Majima, Jozu and I have a request that may seem unreasonable. If you agree, we would be grateful, but if not, it's understandable since our request may be too much." The request felt like asking someone to open their treasure chest and allow others to pick as they please.
Majima encouraged Marco and Jozu to express their request, saying, "You haven't said anything yet, how can you know that your request is not excessive?"
Marco explained that the Whitebeard Pirates are preparing for a war with the Marines and are expecting to lose many of their members. He requested that Majima share the comics he drew with the captains of other squads to help them improve their strength.
After making their request, both Marco and Jozu hung their heads in shame, unable to meet Majima's gaze. They feared he might scold them for being ungrateful after all the benefits he had given them.
"Sure, I can do that. In fact, I was planning to share my drawings with everyone anyway. It's better if more people can benefit from them." Majima replied with a smile.
Majima was more than willing to let the other captains read his comics. He saw it as an opportunity to gain more abilities and mysterious points. While it was impossible for everyone in the world to see it, it was definitely feasible for his fellow pirates.
Upon hearing Majima's decision, Marco and Jozu were amazed and shocked. The idea of letting the entire group read the comics was both spectacular and amusing to them.
