Chapter 8

The fourth day of the training camp, training ground.

"System, view cumulative slacking time!"

"[Training Camp Storm]: Cumulative slacking time is 35/400 hours, please keep up the good work, host!"

The training camp is from 6 am to 9 pm every day, with 12 hours of training time, and the total time for eating and resting is only three hours.

And the slacking time required by the daily task is only 8 hours, which also led to Karl, who skipped class for three days, over-completing the task.

Now his system space has a total of 6 designated attribute enhancement cards, as well as a bunch of snacks and drinks, which can be said to be lying down and making money. It's just a pity that as his body size and age return to normal, Karl's good days are officially declared over.

Karl returned to the training ground unwillingly, following the large troop to do basic training, saying that they were going to start practicing the Six Powers of the Navy today.

Zefa stood in front with a glowing face, his physical condition was much better than the first day, which Zefa himself felt deeply.

Since being healed by Karl's Holy Light, his chronic asthma had actually recovered! In the past few days, not only was his breathing smooth, but he didn't even pant when running, as if he had never had asthma.

Without the trouble of asthma, his strength gradually recovered. Although he couldn't compare to that old monster Garp, he was much stronger than he used to be.

"Today, I will personally teach you the practice methods and application techniques of the Navy Six Powers - Iron Body. No matter if you have learned it before, listen to me carefully. Once someone is distracted, you will all be punished!"

Iron Body? A strange look flashed across Karl's face. The only Six Powers techniques he knew were Shave and Paper Art.

One for chasing (escaping), one for saving his life (dodging bullets).

He didn't know anything else. It wasn't that he didn't want to learn, but his physical fitness was too poor before. Even if he knew the techniques, he couldn't use them due to his physique. Now it's a good opportunity to learn.

Anyway, it's 12 hours a day! Not afraid of being unable to complete the daily slacking task.

"Iron Body, the only defensive technique in the Six Powers, the principle is to accelerate blood flow, make muscle movement faster, and thus make muscles obtain the hardness Move Move Like steel. The disadvantage is that you cannot move freely when using Iron Body."

"So, we must choose the right time when using Iron Body, don't be self-righteous, no matter what attack the enemy uses, use Iron Body to defend."

"Okay, next I will explain in detail how to practice Iron Body......"

One hour later.

"Ding, detected this world's combat technique - Navy Six Powers, has been included in the system and added to random rewards, probability +50% during the Training Camp Storm task."

Karl breathed a sigh of relief instantly. Say it earlier! It made him listen so carefully, wasting an hour of slacking time in vain.

"Okay, I've told you all the practice techniques for Iron Body, who else doesn't understand?"

The recruits sitting there shook their heads in unison. The techniques of Iron Body are not difficult. As long as the body control ability reaches the standard, you can easily master it. And even if there is someone who doesn't understand, they won't be the standout. At worst, ask someone else! It's not miserable.

"Very good, since you all understand, then let's start practicing! I only give you three days. If there is still anyone who cannot master Iron Body, hmph hmph!"

So, the following training ground seemed to become a shit-holding competition, one by one with brows tightly furrowed, red faces, expressions of wanting to pull but not being able to, Karl was the same.

Fortunately, the ten-year veteran Karl had already mastered the techniques of Paper Art, and his control over his body was far beyond other recruits. After practicing a few times according to the method taught by Zefa, he easily mastered Iron Body.

Don't say, after using Iron Body, Karl felt his self-confidence rising. With this steel-Move Move Like bones and muscles, no one can do anything to him!

It's just a pity that it doesn't have much effect on that place. I guess only Armament Haki can enchant it.

"Eh! This kid... learns too fast!" Zefa, who had been paying attention to Karl, lit up. That familiar luster, he felt it must be Iron Body. After thinking for a while, he called Karl over.

"Karl, have you learned the Navy Six Powers before?"

"Yes, Instructor Zefa, Commodore Charles taught me, but before I could only use Shave and Paper Art, and I just mastered Iron Body."

"Charles~"

A youthful face appeared in Zefa's mind, it was Charles when he was young. The reason he remembered it so clearly was because Charles was his first student.

It's just that his talent was not good. After more than 20 years, he was only a branch commodore, which was more than enough to guard the branch.

"That's not bad either. Your talent is indeed better than that kid Charles. Remember not to be proud and complacent, go and continue practicing!"

Karl naturally agreed with his mouth full. Practice? Doesn't exist! Slacking time is about to begin!

But before that, he had to find a bad luck guy to help him test the effect of [Weak and Fragile].

Hmm, scanning around, Karl locked his eyes on a guy who looked strange, it's decided to be you, Binz!

Don't look at this guy's thin arms and legs, he is a Growth-Growth Fruit user, and he scored a good result of 451 points in the Doriki test, winning second place.

Overall, he is already the strongest recruit besides Karl, which shows how much Navy talent has withered now.

"Your name is Binz, right? Can you trouble you to help me test the defensive effect of my Iron Body?"

Looking at Karl with a grinning face, Binz subconsciously frowned. Among all the recruits, the one he looked down on most was Karl. Why doesn't he need to train as hard as them, and can still get the favor of Instructor Zefa? Just because he is some kind of Devil Fruit user?

Although he didn't see it very clearly on the first day, most of the recruits could roughly guess that Karl was a Devil Fruit user.

Otherwise, a normal person couldn't release a golden light cluster, but they didn't know what Karl's ability was, and even if they wanted to ask, they couldn't see this guy's shadow.

So facing Karl's request, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he thought, testing the defensive effect of Iron Body, isn't it just being beaten? That is to say, Karl took the initiative to find a beating? Is there such a good thing?

"Great! No, I mean, I'm very willing to help!"

Binz changed his words quickly, but Karl still heard the clues. Combined with the envious eyes of others, it was not difficult for Karl to draw a conclusion: his popularity was not very good, but Karl didn't care. Putting himself in his shoes, he couldn't even look at himself.

They are all recruits, why do others work hard to train their physique, while he lies at home and enjoys happiness? If someone appreciates him because of this, it's strange!

Karl tore off his top, revealing his strong upper body, signaling Binz that he could attack at any time, and then recited in his heart, system, use Weak and Fragile.

"Weak and Fragile used successfully, defense - 100%, injury probability + 1000%, and gain immunity to serious injury, lasting three minutes."

"Six Powers · Iron Body!"

Binz, come directly~!
