Kuro mused; the scene when Gawain announced the ranking battle and ship dividends in the Pirate crew flashed before his eyes, and then he just felt a chill on his back.
"That guy Gawain had planned this from the beginning?! He personally created an environment that forced everyone to involuntarily fight inward?!"
"Use a pair of invisible hands to control every member of the Pirate crew!"
"Hiss!"
Kuro took a deep breath, his voice trembling a little: "Gawain not only has a perverted talent but also knows how to calculate people's minds. The training at this moment has become a battlefield that we cannot give up!"
"Has everything that has happened so far been part of your plan?!"
"It's terrible!"
At this moment, in Kuro's eyes, he had completely seen through Gawain's plan and even found out why Gawain did this: "Is it so that we can catch up with you so that we won't be like those old crew in the East Blue, unable to cope with future battles and forced to leave?!"
"It's really…"
"How could I possibly fall down in a place like this?!"
After speaking, Kuro looked at his legs.
After a day of training and carrying more than a ton of weight on his calves, his legs were already shaking from fatigue, and even blood vessels in many places had burst.
But Kuro showed dissatisfaction with himself: "How could I be so weak?!"
Kuro added weight to himself again. As he put lead rods into the weight bag one by one, the deck under his feet became slightly dented.
Only after he tried his best to jump and could only barely get a few centimeters off the ground did he nod in satisfaction and focus on the next training.
"Um?!"
Seeing this, Gin raised his eyebrows and took Kuro's sudden change as a provocation.
Since eating the Bone-Bone fruit, Gin's fighting power has improved by leaps and bounds. He believes that he will not lose to Kuro, so how can he accept that the other party has surpassed him in terms of training volume?!
"Interesting!"
"I'll follow!"
After saying that, Gin also increased the weights on his body, the number of which was even more exaggerated than Kuro's, which at one point made all the bones in his body make cracking sounds.
The heavy pressure made his face flush, but he still pretended to be locked in: "Isn't this too easy?!"
On deck, Gin's arrogant voice suddenly was heard.
Seeing this, Zoro, Sanji, and Lucci chose to follow the two without any hesitation, increasing the weight of their training.
"Oh!!"
"All the cadres start training harder!"
"We can't let our guard down anymore!"
Everyone suddenly became excited.
There was a sound like ghosts howling on the deck, which lasted until 2:30 in the morning.
Even with the badge bonus, which speeds up the recovery of physical strength, they are still in a very bad state. Their bodies have reached their limits, and they can't even move their fingers.
They just lay down on the deck and fell into a deep sleep.
"Is this a pirate?!"
Chopper watched their practice and was touched by their spirit. He offered each of them medicines he had prepared to relieve fatigue and eliminate hidden injuries.
In his mind, he even began to imagine the scene of his training tomorrow.
At the same time, Nami stretched and looked at the finely drawn sea chart on the table. She sniffed the scent of ink, and a satisfied look appeared on her face: "The Drum Kingdom's nautical chart is finally complete!"
"Perfect!"
"Even among the nautical charts I drew, this is one of the few masterpieces!"
A sea breeze blew in from the window between her words, hitting Nami's face and bringing a slightly refreshing coolness.
Nami turned her head and looked at the deck outside the window. She saw Chopper distributing medicine soup to everyone.
Looking at the busy little reindeer in the crowd, Nami couldn't help but smile.
"Fine."
"There are normal people like me on the ship."
She patted her chest, which was still not majestic but was bigger than it was six months ago, and had an expression of lingering fear on her face.
"This way, I'll have someone I can talk to in the future instead of being with those guys who only think about muscles or are obsessed with training all day long."
When Nami thought of this, a sincere smile appeared on her face.
But she didn't expect that the next morning, she saw a reindeer as strong as a gorilla among the desperate people.
On deck, Chopper turned into human form, wearing shorts and a vest, revealing an extremely strong body.
"One two three…"
He was carrying a huge barbell with an exaggerated size, with a diameter of more than two meters and a weight measured in tons, and was doing squats continuously.
Every time he squatted down, his legs kept shaking, but he still forced himself to stand up.
Time and again…
Gradually, Chopper experienced what those pirates talked about yesterday, the pleasure of breaking through the limit: "I felt the feeling of reaching the limit of my physical strength, breaking through the upper limit, and surpassing myself."
"The power in my body is constantly emerging, and I am becoming stronger. This feeling is fascinating."
The feeling of constantly becoming stronger made him speed up his movements, but soon, the feeling of fatigue and exhaustion came over him again.
This time, Chopper had experience. He clenched his teeth, almost biting his gums to bleed, and roared, "If I can't even do this!"
"How can I be a panacea that defeats all enemies and cures all diseases!?"
In the navigator's room, Nami watched this scene and almost deformed the pencil in her hand, and the veins on her eyebrows were bulging.
"Is that love for such a panacea?!"
"No matter how outrageous it is, there has to be a limit!"
Nami's defense was broken, and the veins on her forehead were throbbing wildly.
It took her a lot of effort to control herself and not go out and beat Chopper up.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry…"
After a while, she forced herself to calm down, focused her attention on the nautical chart on the table again, and began to draw the route she had taken before.
Snap!
The pencil in Nami's hand broke with a sound. She could no longer control her emotions and threw it out of the window, cursing: "Damn you bastard!"
"Is there no normal person left on this ship?!"
As the sound fell to the ground, the deck fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at each other.
"Normal person?"
"Aren't we?"
A pirate spoke with a puzzled look on his face, and his words immediately drew responses from the people around him.
"Yes, we are all normal pirates, but we know what we want better than other pirates."
"The feeling of training is my One Piece!"
"That's right!"
"We are just a group of ordinary people who are focused on becoming stronger."
"How can you say it's abnormal?"
"So it's probably not us that big sister Nami is talking about."
A moment later, the discussion among the crowd died down.
They began to practice enthusiastically again and even practiced more diligently after confirming that there was no problem with them.
The roar on the deck increased by several decibels.
Lucci mingled in the crowd and listened to what everyone said, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He turned his head and looked at Kalifa beside him, and they both saw what each other wanted to express.
Something's wrong!
There is something 100% or even 90% wrong with the White Knight Pirate!
The two of them complained in their hearts but did not show it on their faces. They even quietly sped up their practice in order to achieve their goals as quickly as possible.
