Not a single soul left the room.

This included Gion and Hina, the two Marine officers. Their decision wasn't born of betrayal to the Marines, but of cold pragmatism. Regardless of whether Jin's revelations were the absolute truth, they knew one thing for certain: they could only be useful—and perhaps influence the outcome—if they remained.

Jin proceeded with the restructuring. He adjusted positions, confirmed appointments, and bestowed Devil Fruits upon his inner circle.

Out of these 69 key individuals, Ace, Biera, and Shuraiya were absent due to personal assignments.

Furthermore, high-ranking officials from the former Enru Kingdom, the three Vinsmoke brothers, and the "awakened" clones were granted elite titles—Elite Crewmen, Officer Candidates, Honored Ones, or Deathsworn.

Those who remained without Devil Fruits either hadn't found a compatible ability, weren't suited for frontline combat, or had limited potential.

—————————

With permissions granted and fruits consumed, the real work began: Special Training.

The regimen covered the holy trinity of combat: Haki, Martial Arts (Rokushiki/Fish-Man Karate), and Devil Fruit mastery.

When it came to Haki training, there were no shortcuts. It boiled down to a single, brutal concept: exhaustion.

They would deplete their Haki reserves entirely, then regenerate them, repeating the cycle endlessly to temper their spirit like steel.

Crucially, the Demonic Carrier acted as a conduit. It could store and utilize Haki, absorbing the energy these warriors expelled. With nearly a hundred elites expanding their Haki daily, they were effectively "charging" the carrier. Jin himself trained this way, refining the ship's reserves alongside his own.

For martial arts, the philosophy was simple: combat.

As long as you don't die, you fight until you drop.

The carrier's "Repair" function wasn't just for show—it allowed them to push their bodies beyond normal limits and recover instantly.

As for Devil Fruit mastery, Ai provided the data analysis, but the creativity was up to the user. Real combat was the crucible; a technique either worked in battle, or it didn't.

Jin had used the combined powers of the Earth-Earth Fruit and the Iron-Iron Fruit to terraform a nearby island into a colossal training ground. Between the carrier's passive buffs and the fruit-activation features, training here was essentially like using a cheat code.

It allowed for explosive growth in a short period.

Of course, these people had day jobs. They were ministers, generals, and leaders. They had a kingdom to run.

During the day, they worked. When it was time to train, they simply applied through their badges, and Jin would "teleport" them to the training grounds.

It cost a significant amount of Soul Crystals, but in Jin's eyes, for the sake of ultimate victory, it was a small price to pay.
