"It's all right. The colonel is just a little tired."

"He overexerted himself. After some rest, he'll be fine."

After saying that, the ship's doctor left as well.

The next day, Ye Tong woke up in his cabin.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... This feeling of being completely drained really sucks!"

Feeling the soreness coursing through his body, Ye Tong spoke helplessly.

Although he had trained in Marineford before, he had never been pushed to the point of total exhaustion like this.

If it had been Kuzan, he probably would have dealt with that huge creature using a single Ice Age.

Sure enough, his overall strength still needed improvement!

"System, use the Life Source!"

Ye Tong directly chose to use a Life Source.

He had several of these things anyway.

He had to find out what effect this so-called enhancement actually had, right?

Ding! Used 1 Life Source.

As the system prompt sounded, the strength within Ye Tong's body slowly began to recover.

Very quickly, the soreness and weakness completely vanished.

But were there no other effects?

He checked his basic attributes, but there had not been the slightest change.

Nothing else had changed either.

Could this thing merely be an extremely effective healing medicine?

But something that could only be extracted from Sea Kings with immense vitality should not be this simple, right?

After waiting for a while without any further changes, Ye Tong could only sigh helplessly.

Forget it. He would go out and take a look first!

"You're awake?"

"Hina brought you breakfast."

At that moment, Hina walked in as well.

"Thanks, Hina..."

"But I don't seem to be hungry."

Ye Tong felt out his body and found that he did not feel hungry at all.

"How could that be? You fainted at noon yesterday. It's impossible for you not to be hungry now."

"You need to eat properly, or your body won't be able to take it."

"Hina... Hina will worry too!"

Hina said again.

"So Military Rations have this effect too?"

Ye Tong attributed his lack of hunger to the Life Source.

"All right, Hina, I understand."

After saying that, Ye Tong returned to the deck.

"By the way, Hina, how much longer until we reach the West Blue?"

Ye Tong was beginning to miss his days in Marineford.

At the very least, he could pick up quite a bit of trash every day there.

But once they were out at sea, aside from cleaning the warship once a day, there was no other trash at all.

So many days had passed, and sometimes he did not even get any Pickup Points from cleaning up trash.

Thus, Ye Tong's yearning for land was far from insignificant!

"Another three days. We should reach Pildac Island, the first island in the West Blue."

Hina spoke slowly.

"I understand."

"Hina, go plan the route. As long as an island is inhabited, stop there for a while."

Ye Tong said slowly.

Then, he drew his longsword and began practicing.

Seeing Ye Tong's actions, Hina did not insist any further.

After all, even when this man was stubborn, he was still so charming!

After Hina left, Ye Tong began swinging Murasame in his hand.

But Ye Tong did not know that as he began training, his body was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

If he had opened his status panel, he would have seen that his basic attributes were clearly increasing.
