After Raku landed on the ship, time rewound, quickly healing the injuries on Enel and Yamato.

After the two returned to the ship, Enel remained unusually silent throughout the journey.

He seemed to have stopped mentioning the topic of the first mate, as if it had become a taboo subject for Enel.

Seeing this, Luo Tian immediately spoke after boarding the ship.

"I've decided to give the position of first mate to Hawkeye."

His words were resolute and without the slightest hesitation.

Hawkeye was taken aback by these words. He stared at Luo Tian with wide eyes, as if he wanted to refute them.

However, when he thought about the difference in strength between himself and Luo Tian, ​​he couldn't bring himself to say the words in his heart.

After all, Luo Tian's strange reasoning was so numerous that it was impossible to refute him, and his strength was far superior to his own. Whether in debate or in action, he had no chance of winning.

After hearing Luo Tian's decision, no one spoke, but silently expressed their agreement.

The next day, Enel took the initiative to find Luo Tian.

He said to Luo Tian with a sincere expression, "Captain Luo Tian, ​​I want to become stronger. I would like to ask you to teach me physical skills. I hope to improve my domineering aura."

Luo Tian looked at Enel and felt very gratified.

He smiled and nodded, and said.

"Sure, I'd be happy to teach you. That's more like it. Don't be afraid of failure, man. Let's work hard and we'll get stronger eventually."

"I just wanted to try out my new move."

Seeing Enel's desire to become stronger, Luo Tian decided to test out the new skill he had developed.

Enel nodded quickly, indicating that he was fully prepared.

He knew this was a rare opportunity to improve his skills, and he absolutely couldn't miss it.

Luo Tian waved his hand, and a spatial gate emitting a faint light slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black unknown area behind it.

He turned to look at Enel and said with a smile.

"Come with me."

Enel looked at the door with some hesitation, but filled with curiosity, he stepped into the portal.

Upon entering the space, Enel sensed an unusual atmosphere.

It was pitch black all around, without a single ray of light, and his vision was completely enveloped by darkness.

But strangely, he could clearly see Luo Tian's figure.

Enel unleashed his Observation Haki, attempting to sense the extent and end of this space. To his surprise, his Haki was unable to penetrate the darkness, and he was completely unable to perceive the boundaries of the space.

Enel felt a surge of intense curiosity.

He turned to look at Luo Tian and asked.

"Why can't I feel the passage of time here? It's as if this place is nothingness."

Luo Tian replied.

“You’re right. This space was created by me using my abilities, and time here is different from the outside world. Here, I can freely adjust the flow of time.”

Luo Tian continued.

"You can train here properly. I'll take this opportunity to test my ability to manipulate time in this space."

"Don't worry about the effects of time on you. If there are any problems, I will take you out and help you recover. Just focus on training."

Enel immediately began his training without hesitation, immersing himself completely in it as if nothing in the outside world mattered to him.

At the same time, Luo Tian gently opened the spatial gate, stepped out, and left this space to Enel alone.

Enel stood in this void, surrounded by silence, with only his own breathing echoing around him.

There are no distractions here, making it an excellent training ground.

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and then resolutely began his training.

This space not only allows him to engage in high-intensity training for extended periods, but more importantly, it also helps him temper his character.

In such an environment, Enel needs to confront his inner loneliness and overcome his fear and anxiety.

Time ticked by in this space, and Enel was completely absorbed in his training, oblivious to the changes in the outside world.

Finally, after he finished a round of training, he discovered that Luo Tian had prepared food for him and placed it there.

Enel glanced gratefully at the food, then quickly finished it. After replenishing his energy, he immediately began the next round of training.

In this space, there is no distinction between day and night, so Enel could only rely on the gold jewelry he wore to create a simple hourglass to keep track of time.

However, the hourglass didn't seem to be very effective, because Enel spent all his time in this space training and resting, and the concept of time became increasingly blurred for him.

He gradually forgot the passage of time, could no longer feel the alternation of day and night, and didn't even know how long he had been there.

Enel felt as if he had spent a year here, and his heart was undergoing subtle changes without him even realizing it.

This boundless darkness, while making him feel lonely and isolated, also made his mind more calm and resolute.

Time passed silently in the darkness. Enel had no idea how much time had gone by; it was as if the whole world was nothing but endless darkness and silence.

However, just when he was feeling somewhat desperate, suddenly, a dazzling light pierced the darkness and illuminated the space in front of him.

Enel's eyes were stung by the sudden light, but he immediately realized that it was an exit, a passage to the outside world.

Without hesitation, he walked toward the light.

When he passed through the portal and returned to the real world, Enel felt a breath of fresh air wash over him, which invigorated him.

Enel took a deep breath, sensing the atmosphere outside, then turned to look at the spatial gate behind him.

The door had slowly closed and disappeared into thin air, as if it had never existed.

Enel composed himself, walked over to Luo Tian, ​​and asked.

How long did I stay inside?

Luo Tian replied with a smile.

"Based on spatial time, it's about a year."

Enel nodded. He had roughly estimated the time in his mind, and it was not much different from his calculations.

Then, Luo Tian added.

"However, if we calculate it according to external time, it's only about a minute."

Enel hadn't expected the time difference between this space and the outside world to be so great.

Luo Tian seemed to notice his surprise and explained with a smile.

"The flow of time in this space is different from that in the outside world, which creates this time difference. However, I can still improve this space, and when you come back next time, the time difference should be adjustable to about one second."

Enel felt genuine admiration for Luo Tian's technical prowess, knowing that achieving such time difference adjustment was no easy task.

He looked at Luo Tian gratefully and said, "Thank you, Captain Luo Tian, ​​your skills are truly amazing."

Luo Tian waved his hand modestly and said, "It's nothing, I'm just constantly exploring and trying. After I make some improvements, the performance of this space will definitely be better."
