It hurts... it really hurts.
Luffy admitted that he underestimated the suffering his body was going through.
He felt that his muscles were tearing repeatedly, and he could not lift a finger. His brain was weak and clear to bear the pain.
Luffy felt like he was a vegetable. He could only move his neck.
Taking shortcuts also comes with a price.
Tears burst out, and through the foggy eyes, he could vaguely see that Uta was worried about him. The little girl hurriedly took out the paper and covered his face. Then in the blink of an eye, she was soaked with sweat, tears, and disgusting snot. I didn't care, just wiped it off.
If it were a previous life, wouldn’t the muscles have been dissolved by playing like this?
His will was easily shattered by the pain, and his heart was beating wildly, feeling like it was going to explode.
With great difficulty, he mobilized his armed domineering energy to flow in his body. With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he first used his weapons to protect his heart, and then distributed the nutrients to other organs.
In doing so, his pain did subside a little.
That's all.
The amount of weapons is still too small.
After an hour, Luffy got used to his hot body a little.
Reluctantly, not to let out an embarrassed howl.
Well, it was actually Dr. Hongo who injected him with a magical potion, which relieved his pain a little.
"Honestly, stay in bed for a few days!" Dr. Hongo said.
"Luffy is a man now. He has to endure all the hardships in order to protect the people around him."
This is probably his comfort.
It's also the only thing pirates can do.
They have endured more pain. Looking at it from the perspective of those who have experienced it, the amount Luffy endured is far from enough. This is just the beginning.
Carrying pain is what men on the sea should do and must bear.
The pirates exited the room one by one and did what they should do.
In this day and age, you don’t just scream for someone to be sent to the hospital when you see a slight wound on their body.
I was afraid that the wound would heal slowly.
The little girl was still by Luffy's side. She had prepared a water glass and a moist towel. Her little head was lying on Luffy's bedside. Although she didn't speak, Luffy could feel her concern.
It's written on his face.
"My head has finally adapted to my body..." Luffy made a weak voice. Through the window, he could see the stars outside and hear the roar of the ocean tide.
"Want some water? Luffy is sweating a lot." Uta asked.
Luffy nodded slightly, and the little girl lifted him up with difficulty, leaned him on her chest, and took a water cup to feed him.
"Uta is very tired, aren't you going to sleep?" Luffy noticed that Uta's eyelids were fighting.
"Humph, Uta is a sister. Taking care of her younger brother is what a sister should do." She said softly.
"I'm sorry...using Luffy's body a little bit is too much..."
she whispered.
If it weren't for Luffy's ear, he might not be able to hear it clearly.
"Why should Uta apologize?" Luffy was confused.
"Because...I control Luffy's body..." Uta said.
After Uta stopped using his ability, Luffy's consciousness returned to her body, and she saw the cool boy kneeling on the ground, letting out a heart-rending scream.
At that moment, Uta's mind went blank. He just watched Luffy fall to the ground blankly and saw him twitching. He didn't know what to do.
Uta didn't have the consciousness to deal with the emergency, but the local doctor was already prepared. He carried Luffy to the bed, opened his clothes, and injected Luffy with an unknown injection.
No one blamed Uta, but she was still oppressed by Luffy's screams. Uta is a person with strong empathy. Because she is a musician, she heard Luffy's pain.
In reflection, Uta confirmed that Luffy's pain was caused by himself.
She innocently followed Luffy's instructions and even forgot to consider the rest time. In this way, Luffy's body turned into an exercise machine.
She forgot the simplest human need - rest.
It was the first time that Uta saw this confident and cool boy with such a distorted face.
It turns out Luffy isn’t that strong either…
A boy who cries out of pain.
"This is none of Uta's business." Luffy said seriously.
"I am the planner, and Uta is just the executor."
Luffy said seriously.
He also wanted to let Uta help him practice every day, but he couldn't let the silly girl be defeated by guilt.
Isn't Uta's ability just like the "on-hook" power leveling in the game?
The body is already mature and can exercise automatically. He can also free his brain to do this and that in Uta's spiritual world.
It’s simply not too fun.
Although the "bond" that took over the body allowed Luffy to directly break through the defense.
"But..." Uta complained that he was really stupid because he couldn't even take the simplest rest.
"There is nothing good about it. Even if it happens again, I will make the same request to Uta!"
Luffy interrupted Uta's words.
"Rather than this, Uta would rather sing me a lullaby. I'm in an awkward situation where I want to sleep but can't."
"If Uta is sleepy, you can go to bed quickly. Taking me to the dream world tomorrow will directly reduce my pain."
Luffy offers a practical solution.
"This is what a sister should do."
"It's so noisy. You're still talking to me when you're lying in bed..." Uta was furious, but she still sang a lullaby. The soft singing, the sound of the ocean tide, and the starry sky formed a very warm scene.
Not long after, Uta's voice gradually weakened.
The lullaby didn't hypnotize Luffy, but it succeeded in making Uta fall asleep on his own. His little head hit Luffy's abdomen, causing a sore feeling that made Luffy grin.
His body was obviously tired, but his mind didn't want to rest. Luffy stayed awake through the long night.
This feeling was something he only felt in his previous life. His body was obviously very tired, but his brain was still excited, all night long, crazy all night long.
In the end, it became a habit, and I couldn't sleep even if I didn't touch my phone or anything like that.
After that, he developed the habit of drinking to sleep.
Young people drink coffee and tea to wake them up in the morning, and drink alcohol to fall asleep at night. Their health is extremely poor.
Luffy stared blankly at the scenery outside, as the early sun rose, dyeing the sea into a golden color.
After a night of rest, Luffy barely adapted to this body burned by flames.
He raised his arm with difficulty.
I...have become stronger!
Luffy is absolutely convinced!
This is the reward given by the God of hard work.

I’m preparing to add more updates, and there should be more tonight. By the way, I’d like to ask for some recommendation votes, monthly passes, and follow-up reading.
