"Today, I, Lao G~! will be guiding you through physical training."

A strange man in a blue tracksuit, wearing a rabbit hat, struck a ridiculously embarrassing pose loudly, completely unconcerned by the stares of others.

It was the same training ground, but the 'teacher' had changed from Diamante to Lao G.

And this time, it wasn't just Abel and Luo who needed to learn; even Baby-5 and Buffalo were no exception. After all, physical prowess is highly practical and has a low barrier to entry, though mastering it is difficult, and becoming a strong individual relying solely on physical ability is even harder!

Doflamingo probably didn't expect them to achieve anything significant in terms of physical ability; it was more about building a foundation.

Although Lao G belonged to Diamante's combat unit, he was calm and serious in his work.

Therefore, he treated everyone equally and didn't deliberately create difficult training to make anyone struggle like Diamante did. He simply taught them by the book.

Of course, there were necessary punishments, but they were only 'normal punishments' like increasing laps or the number of push-ups.

This made Abel incredibly comfortable. He could finally build a solid foundation and strive to become stronger!

To that end, in the morning, under everyone's gaze, he ate the equivalent of ten adult men's daily food intake, allowing him to enter a state of 'Full Stomach' at any time.

He then casually made an excuse and strapped the freshly painted turtle shell to his back.

He set it to a weight of 20 kilograms to start adapting, feeling a constant sense of urgency to get stronger as quickly as possible!

"Is it okay?"

"N-no problem."

Abel performed punching exercises while glancing at the somewhat pale Luo out of the corner of his eye.

That guy was really going all out for revenge. Yesterday, when he passed out, his arm was so swollen he couldn't lift it.

Yet, after waking up, he managed to reduce the swelling using the medicine he concocted himself.

Doflamingo had originally planned to let him rest today, but this guy insisted on coming.

The result of such overexertion, if it were in Abel's previous life, would have definitely broken his body.

But this was the world of pirates, a world that defied common sense, a world where even Newton would have to kneel.

So Abel didn't try to persuade him; it was his own choice.

In comparison, he was undoubtedly much luckier.

Without his cheat system, he would surely be as miserable as Luo now, perhaps even more so.

But now, he found himself becoming somewhat addicted.

The more intense the training, the more feedback he received from his body's cells.

The sheer joy of clearly perceiving his own growth was intoxicating!

Following swordsmanship training on the first day and physical training on the second, on the third day, Abel and the others were to learn firearms.

And the one responsible for teaching them this time was a 'Super Saiyan'.

Alright, Gladius's hairstyle at this point was far from the outlandish style it would become in the future, but it was already in a 'Super Saiyan 1' state, the only difference being the color.

Gladius wore a mask with round lenses and a dark blue trench coat adorned with metal decorations like gears.

At first glance, he looked more like a bassist for a heavy metal death metal band.

But in reality, he was a member of the Donquixote Family's special forces and was extremely loyal to Doflamingo, showing no tolerance for those who betrayed the Donquixote Family.

"Is everyone here? Where's Buffalo?"

Gladius's veins bulged at his temples when he saw only three people on the training ground.

This was because he detested people who didn't act according to plan and were late.

"I'm here!"

As soon as the words fell, a fat man, still in his pajamas, came sprinting over, his face covered in sweat, unsure if it was from exertion or urgency.

Gladius pulled out his pocket watch and checked the time, saying without mercy, "According to the assembly time, you are ten seconds late. As punishment, the intensity of your evasion training today will be doubled."

Buffalo's chubby face instantly contorted into a lightning bolt of fear!

He immediately prostrated himself on the ground, begging for mercy, "I know I was wrong, please spare me this once. I promise I won't be late next time!"

"You think there'll be a next time? Heh!"

Gladius sneered and then ignored Buffalo, kicking open a nearby box to reveal the Weapons inside!

"On the sea, guns and cannons are the most common means of ranged attack. Mastering them requires not only talent but also constant practice."

"From today onwards, I will teach you how to use them, how to fight with them, and how to defend against such attacks."

"First and foremost, the most crucial point when attacking with firearms is maintaining distance."

Gladius's lessons were novel and incredibly interesting to Abel.

After all, what man wouldn't like guns?

He didn't have the chance in his previous life, and now he finally had it.

Even though the models and styles didn't look very advanced, it was great to finally get to experience it.

After Gladius finished his explanation, Abel and the others finally got the weapons they had been longing for.

Then came the simplest part: target practice.

Both Abel and Luo were studying very seriously. Abel even activated his [Full Stomach] state, entering a tenfold learning mode.

His physical fitness had already been enhanced, and now with this cheat, he was naturally learning at lightning speed. In no time, his hit rate soared, catching Gladius's attention.

"Hmm, it seems he does have some talent."

In contrast, Luo's performance was more in line with what a normal person would exhibit.

He fired bullets one by one, and there was definitely progress, but it wasn't much.

Gladius couldn't help but shake his head subtly.

Despite this, Abel wasn't the one performing the best.

The best performer was Baby-5.

The little loli raised one leg, and her left foot instantly transformed into a black cannon muzzle.

With a BOOM, she blew apart the target in the distance.

At this moment, Baby-5 exuded a wild and excited aura.

"What is that?"

Luo was completely stunned.

"Baby-5 is a Weapons Human who ate a Devil Fruit. She can transform any part of her body, or her entire body, into various weapons like guns, cannons, swords, and more."

Gladius provided a direct explanation, then told Luo to continue training and not get distracted.

Luo then suddenly began to feel distracted.

This was because he recalled the words Doflamingo had spoken to him back then.

"Is there really a Devil Fruit that can cure my illness, and Abel's?"

What surprised him even more was yet to come. Not only was Baby-5 a Devil Fruit user, but Buffalo, whom he had always considered an idiot, had also eaten a Devil Fruit?!
