Chapter 34: Chapter 33 The idea of building a ninjutsu combat division
The following day, Majima called for a meeting with all the captains except Thatch to announce the official release of the comic book to all the pirates in the crew. However, safety measures needed to be taken into consideration due to the possibility of disloyal members selling the comic book to other forces. Therefore, after discussing the matter, they agreed to designate specific locations on Dillock Island for the viewing of the comics.
Once the policy was established, the entire crew was informed of the manga viewing regulations and it was disseminated throughout the group.
Pirate 1: "Did you hear? The team captains personally requested us to gather at the base camp." Pirate 2: "Yeah, I heard. Do you have any idea what it's about? The order seemed urgent."
Pirate 3: "I have a feeling that it's something major. Something big is definitely brewing."
Pirate 1: "Come to think of it, I haven't seen the old man around recently. Has he left the group?" Pirate 2: "Yeah, it's been pretty quiet without him. The captains haven't been around much either. Something's up."
Person 1: "Did you know that Dad is currently not with the regiment? The captain of the zero division is temporarily taking his place."
Pirates 3: "Zero division? When did our group have that? Are you brain-dead?!"
Pirate 1: "Listen up, you illiterate fools! I just found out that our group has a zero division! And the captain of the zero division is the captain of all divisions in our Whitebeard Pirates! Pretty impressive, huh?"
Pirate 3: "No way, really?"
Pirate 1: "It's true!"
Pirate 2: "So the old man is gone, and there's a new captain from the zero division. This is big news!"
Amidst various wild speculations, the pirates from different teams are gradually focusing on a single topic.
The pirates from different teams gathered at the base camp on Dillock Island and were surprised when they were led to various training sites. They were shocked to find out that they were there to read comics as a group. Fortunately, they were grouped with members of their own team and were given explanations by their captains, which made them follow orders obediently.
Despite the fact that many people consider practicing by reading comics as a nonsensical activity, they comply with the orders due to their captains' stern faces.
Besides, as they are constantly engaged in battles outside, having a rare chance to unwind isn't all that bad.
Majima's comics are truly captivating, and anyone who reads them will quickly become absorbed in the stories depicted within.
As time passes, the system alerts persistently resound in Majima's mind.

Majima felt happy as the energy points increased, but he noticed that the abilities obtained by the crew members were relatively ordinary compared to the captains' abilities.
The crew members' techniques, such as Wind Style, Earth Style, Fire Style, Lightning Style, and Water Style, were far from reaching the level of Hoshigaki Kisame's techniques.
Although some crew members got good things, such as Pirate 2 who received the Power Surging: Balzac, it was only an ordinary imperial tool with a low upper limit. Another pirate got a Zanpakutō, which sounded impressive, but it was an Asauchi, the lowest ranking Zanpakutō.
"It appears that the abilities obtained from reading comics may be correlated with the reader's talent." After some consideration, Majima came to the conclusion that talent and hard work are essential for achieving strong abilities in the comics.
On the other hand, ordinary crew members may lack talent, which is why they get ordinary abilities. With this in mind, Majima decided to make some adjustments to the subsequent printing of comics. He realized that the five manga series, including "Legend of Konoha", "Legend of Sand Shinobi", "Legend of Rock Shinobi", "Legend of Cloud Shinobi", and "Legend of Mist Shinobi", had a huge audience and were responsible for more than half of the acquired abilities. As a result, he decided to focus on promoting these five comics to help form a division within the Whitebeard Pirates that uses single-attribute ninjutsu as an attack method.
