Bullet was the second Roy Pirates to receive a transplant.
The first thing this battle maniac did after waking up was rush to the testing grounds.
He exchanged a powerful punch with Kaido, who had also just undergone a transplant and was adapting to his new power!
boom--!!!
At the point where the fists collided, the air exploded, and the shockwave spread in a ring, causing the instruments around the test site to hum.
The two of them each took three steps back, and cracks spread across the ground beneath their feet.
"Hehehe! Bullet, you really didn't disappoint me!"
Kaido grinned and shook his slightly numb arm.
"You too, Kaido! Your strength has increased considerably since before!"
Bullet's eyes burned with fighting spirit; he could feel the power of that punch.
Its bones and muscles withstood an impact far exceeding that of the past, and its recovery speed was extremely fast.
"Again!"
"That suits me perfectly!"
The two violent freaks immediately engaged in a new round of hand-to-hand combat in the testing ground, their punches landing with tremendous force, the roar of their weapons filling the air.
Hawk Eyes's transplant process was unusually calm.
After waking up, he silently walked to the training ground, drew his Black Blade Yoru, and slowly swung it into the air.
It didn't use Haki, nor did it incorporate any special energy; it was simply a pure slash.
laugh--!
A nearly invisible pale green slash cut through the air.
The test steel target, suspended in the distance, was silently sliced in half, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror.
"Body coordination, stability, and power transfer efficiency have improved."
Hawk Eyes sheathed his sword and muttered to himself.
"A sword can be faster, more accurate, and heavier."
Tesoro tested his lightning abilities immediately after the transplant.
He was surprised to find that the output power and fine control capabilities of lightning had been significantly improved.
More importantly, his sustained output time has nearly doubled!
"Now physical fitness is no longer a weakness!"
Tesoro rubbed his hands together excitedly, already starting to devise new fighting strategies.
Crocodile, the bear, Cyrus, Kyros, Savi, Enel, Pea, Charon, Yamato others also completed their transplants one after another.
Even the female members put aside their work to begin Bloodline Transplantation.
Everyone experienced a comprehensive improvement in their basic physical fitness:
Greater strength, longer endurance, faster recovery, and stronger defense.
Yamato was especially excited, having fused other optimized traits into her Oni bloodline.
I feel that the speed at which I can condense my frost power has increased.
"If I keep going like this, I'm sure I'll be able to develop even stronger moves!"
Yamato gripped Genzo's hand, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit.
With the core members completing their transplants, Hachinosu has entered an era of complete "evolution."
Deep within Hachinosu, the " Trial Island ".
A large circular area was set aside separately.
This is the "Gravity Trial Grounds" that Roy built especially for his companions.
In the center of the arena, Roy stood with his eyes closed, his hands lightly touching the ground.
An invisible wave of Telekinesis spread out from him, enveloping the entire training ground area.
Buzz--
A low, rumbling vibration filled the air, and the light within the venue was slightly distorted.
Gravity Domain activated.
Roy spoke slowly.
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the room felt a slight tremor.
It felt as if an invisible hand was pressing on my shoulders, and the air seemed to become denser, requiring me to breathe more forcefully.
"Get used to it, then choose a gravity zone that suits you," Roy said.
Inside the arena, Bullet, Hawk Eyes, Tesoro, Crocodile, Kyros, Savi, Enel, Pea, Charon, Yamato, and others stood scattered, each feeling the changes in their bodies.
Kaido, King, and Queen are also here.
The three leaders of the Beasts Pirates decided to stay on Hachinosu a little longer.
He trained alongside the Roy Pirates, thoroughly familiarizing himself with his newly acquired powers.
"That little bit of gravity is nothing!"
Bullet grinned and stretched his shoulders.
" Roy, let's go all out! This level of gravity isn't even enough for a warm-up!"
"Don't rush, take it one step at a time."
Roy said calmly,
"Everyone has different limits, so we need to find the optimal gravity ratio for each individual's training."
Roy looked at everyone,
"Now, let's begin basic physical training. Running, push-ups, squats, sword practice..."
Do the movements you're most familiar with, and feel the effects of gravity.
Everyone did as instructed and began training.
Under the Gravity Domain, what was originally an easy movement becomes much more strenuous.
Running requires stronger pushing force with each step; push-ups increase the pressure on the arms; and swinging a sword feels like the weight of the weapon has increased.
But strangely, no one found it unbearable.
The physical enhancement brought about by the optimization of their bloodline allowed them to adapt to the initial discomfort.
They can quickly complete the movements at near-normal speed.
"As expected, the basics have improved."
Hawk Eyes commented as he swung his sword.
"At the same level of gravity, I feel at least 30% more relaxed now than before the transplant."
"Continue to increase gravity."
Roy observed everyone's condition and slowly began to increase the gravity.
Buzz--!
Gravity increases again!
This time, many people's movements slowed down noticeably.
Sweat began to bead up, and breathing became heavy.
But everyone's eyes gleamed with excitement.
They could feel that under this pressure, every muscle and every bone in their body was being trained more effectively.
The latent energy is being awakened little by little.
"20 times... I can barely handle it."
Kyros gritted his teeth and persisted in his sword training, striving for perfection in every strike.
"25 times!" Roy exclaimed again.
Thump!
Several of the weaker peripheral members were the first to give in, kneeling on one knee and panting heavily.
"You all exit first and go to the edge area to acclimatize to 20 times the gravity," Roy instructed.
The members struggled to climb to the edge of the arena, where Roy had adjusted the gravity to 20 times, making it relatively easier.
The remaining people in the arena were all core members and strong members of the Beasts Pirates.
"30 times!" Roy said mercilessly.
boom!
This time, even the young leaders like Savi, Enel, and the Pea CP five felt immense pressure.
In his orc form, Savi's muscles bulged and veins stood out;
Enel gritted his teeth and persevered; Pea, on the other hand, had completely entered a semi-beast state, relying on the physique of Mythical Zoan to tough it out.
"30 times... that's my limit."
Enel gritted his teeth and said that he could no longer maintain normal training and could only barely stand.
"Me too..." Pea gasped for breath.
"Alright, you guys move to the edge too, and get used to 30 times the gravity." Roy nodded.
The remaining members of the group are: Roy, Bullet, Hawk Eyes, Tesoro, Crocodile, Kuma, Moria, Kyros, Charon, Yamato, Kaido, King, and Queen.
"40 times!" Roy shouted.
Buzz--!!!
The air seemed to freeze.
Under 40 times the force of gravity, even the air becomes viscous, and each breath feels like swallowing a block of lead.
Moria's expression turned serious, and he silently activated his Devil Fruit power.
It forms a buffer on the skin, but sweat still seeps from the forehead.
Kyros was swinging his sword extremely slowly, each strike requiring the full strength of his body.
Charon knelt on the ground; the Fish-Man Race's physique was not advantageous under such pure gravitational pressure.
Yamato and persevered, frost faintly forming on his body as he tried to use his abilities to counteract some of the pressure.
"40 times... that's almost the limit," Kyros said with difficulty.
"Me too," Xiong nodded.
" Charon, and you?" Roy asked the Fish-Man warrior.
"I... can hold on a little longer..." Charon gritted his teeth, but his body had already begun to tremble.
"Alright, you three step back and get used to 40 times gravity," Roy said.
