## Chapter 337: Cultivating Teach
The northern section of the New World's mid-segment, especially the Grand Line which encircles the World, means that each divided Area is actually long and narrow.
If you were to cut it vertically into five sections, the Kronos Kingdom's Faction occupies two sections.
One section in the west is given to the Big Mom Pirates, and the two sections in the east are given to the Flying Pirates.
Unlike the Pluto Pirates, who control nearly two hundred Islands, the Flying Pirates have expanded to over six hundred Islands, their Faction constantly growing.
With the rise of Charlotte Linlin's eldest son, Typhon, coupled with Charlotte Linlin's frantic creation of Homies, the Big Mom Pirates' Faction is also continuously expanding.
Their total number of Territories has surpassed others, reaching over three hundred.
Unlike Charlotte Linlin, very few Pirates are willing to submit to her Subordinates.
However, her eldest son, Typhon, is different.
As the Child of "Glutton" Titan and "Weather Queen" Charlotte Linlin, he possesses world's top-tier terrifying potential.
Combined with the monstrous strength he has already exhibited.
Throughout his expansion, a large number of Pirates have submitted to Typhon's Subordinates.
The number of Pirates under Typhon's command has reached five thousand.
And what about Linlin herself?
She has fallen into the happy trouble of constantly having Children at home.
The Battle of God Valley, and the first Pirate World Expo held on Honeycomb Island after the Battle, allowed her to gain a large number of rare and uncommon variant races.
New World, a normal Island named Asuka.
"Teach, why don't we go to Paros Island?
You won't find the Devil Fruit you want just by waiting here."
"Since that's the case, why not take the initiative?
Train and become stronger on Paros Island.
With strength, you'll be able to plunder that Devil Fruit when you hear news of it."
In the dense jungle, a boy with short golden hair held a green apple in his hand.
He took a bite, puffed out his cheeks, and looked down at his companion wearing an orange hat and a blue shirt.
"I've already received news that a merchant ship heading to the Pluto Sea Area will pass by in two days.
We can take that ship directly there."
His words carried a longing for Paros Island, and his eyes shone with a bright light.
His companion's words made Teach's heart stir.
Despite his young age, he possessed a great ambition, but he knew that without strength, everything was empty.
Even if he knew the news of that Devil Fruit, he wouldn't be able to obtain it.
Soon, he made up his mind.
He looked up at his companion in the tree.
"Are you sure?
Lubock, won't it be dangerous?"
There was a hint of concern in his voice.
Hearing this, the Child named Lubock jumped down from the tree to the ground, patted Teach's shoulder hard and said seriously, "What are you afraid of, Teach?
You dare to gamble your future on a Devil Fruit you might never encounter in your lifetime, so why would you be afraid of a little danger?"
"Don't worry, I'll be with you.
I'll wait for that Devil Fruit with you."
"I've always believed in you, Teach."
Teach is currently seven years old.
Lubock is a year older than him, eight years old.
Two years ago, Lubock came to this Island with his family.
Not long after, his parents went to sea to fish and never returned, most likely dead.
Teach's physique is special; he cannot sleep at night, which is a very painful thing, and he is treated like a Monster by others.
But Lubock didn't reject him, and soon, the two became good friends.
At the same time, Lubock also learned about Teach's special physique and secret.
Teach was born with a powerful physique, possessing strong vitality and monstrous strength.
Even though Lubock is a year older than Teach, Teach still has the upper hand when they battle.
However, this relies solely on his physique.
To make a living, the two often went into the mountains to hunt wild beasts.
At a young age, they already possessed considerable strength, but they had never received guidance and had no body technique foundation.
After learning Teach's secret, Lubock decided to help him reach the peak together.
"Then it's decided."
Hearing Lubock's words, Teach clenched his fists, his gaze becoming firm.
He yearned to become a world's top-tier Strongman, and that Devil Fruit was the most suitable Devil Fruit for him; he had to get it.
If he couldn't find it, then he would never eat a Devil Fruit in his life.
Two days later, the two Children boarded that merchant ship, taking out the Beli they had saved.
The sailors on the merchant ship did not look down on them just because they were Children.
Especially after learning that these two Children wanted to go to Paros Island, they praised them repeatedly.
They even hoped to hear their names in the future.
Nothing bad happened; everything went smoothly.
And as this merchant ship set sail, Hades of the Kronos Kingdom received the news.
"The cultivation plan has begun!"
Marshall D.
Teach.
Hades had sent people to look for this Child some years ago.
He hadn't held much hope, after all, The Great Sea is simply too vast.
But unexpectedly, he actually found him on an Island.
After learning about Teach, Hades sent his own Child, Lubock, to become Teach's companion.
Lubock, Hades' seventy-fifth Child, his fiftieth son, Kyle's younger brother.
For this, Lubock didn't even enter the Royal Military Academy to learn.
Now, Shiki "The Golden Lion" has not yet reached his peak, but Hades is already considering cultivating the next super hegemon to target the World Government.
It is also to deal with "Sun God" Nika.
Teach absolutely possesses such potential.
However, his performance in memory was truly unbearable.
To prevent Teach from going astray, Hades decided to "personally intervene" and give him proper cultivation.
