"It's so troublesome~" Porusalino pouted after hearing Zefa's arrangement. He was not very satisfied with Zefa's special treatment. He just wanted to follow everyone and get in there.
Lukar was a little surprised that the inconspicuous guy he met yesterday was actually lined up with him.
He glanced at Porusalino curiously, wanting to see where this guy was strong.
However, Lukar didn't think too much and went straight to the black weight bag area, picked up a weight bag and weighed it twice.
The weight of one thousand kilograms is still a lot lighter for him.
As a person with earth fruit ability, his physical quality is extremely outstanding, but one thousand kilograms is not enough to bring pressure.
All the other recruits were surprised to find that Lukar picked up one weight bag and it was not enough. He picked up 4 more weight bags, and a total of 5 weight bags were hung on his body.
Good guy, there are five load-bearing bags, one weighing 1,000 kilograms, and five weighing five tons. They can't even lift them, let alone run away with them on their backs.
Monster, all the sailors have only one evaluation of Lukar, he is too much of a beast.
Sakarski picked up a heavy-duty bag and put it on his back. Seeing Lukar's movements, he turned back and added two more.
Now all the sailors and Zefa looked at the remaining Porusalino.
Porusalino, who was wearing small sunglasses, curled his lips. He didn't want to ignore the contemptuous looks of others, so he picked up a weight bag and went out.
As soon as he took a step, he felt like there was a sharp sword against his back. When he looked back, it was Zefa's eyes.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, just take one and try it.
The huge pressure enveloped Porusalino. He made a sound in his mouth, took two more backpacks, turned into a yellow laser flash and moved to the playground.
"Instructor Zefa, I also choose a black weight bag."
A rather strong man wearing a Dalmatian hat, covering half of his face, with a brown beard, walked toward the black weight-bearing bag area.
"He is Dalmecia. He seems to be a user with animal devil fruit abilities. He is quite famous on the Grand Line." A student standing nearby who also came from the Grand Line branch recognized him at a glance.
Dalmecia is an esper in the form of the Inu Fruit - Dalmatian. His abilities were very outstanding when he was in the branch. He is very confident in his physical fitness.
Walker, who is also a user with animal devil fruit abilities, couldn't help but change into a black weight bag after seeing Dalmecia's performance.
Other students who were confident in their own strength were stimulated by the previous stimulation, and their young hearts were filled with enthusiasm, and they tried to put as much weight on themselves as possible.
Zefa looked at the actions of the young students in front of him and grinned, as if he had seen something interesting.
After all students have received their equipment.
"You have all made your choice. From now on, all of you will follow me. Follow closely. You are not allowed to fall behind. In addition, all fruit ability users are prohibited from using their abilities."
Zefa stood at the front of all the students and walked outside the base training ground.
All the students were confused and had no idea what Zefa meant, so they could only follow silently.
The strange thing is that Zefa did not move forward at too fast a speed, only moving at the speed of a normal person jogging.
Lukar followed Zefa out of the playground and walked to the other end of Malinvando Island, passing through the dense urban area.
Lucal, who came to the Navy Headquarters for the first time, found that the island of Marinefando was larger than expected, and it was not just the Navy Headquarters base office area.
Behind the towering naval base, there are densely populated towns. Not only are the navy and their families members coming and going, but there are also a large number of civilians living here, which supplements the navy's manpower resources.
"Wow, is this the first training camp led by General Zefa?"
"That navy guy is so handsome." A young girl pointed at the blond Freeman Victor.
The residents of the city and the navy saw Zefa leading the large team through, pointing and talking quietly along the way.
Under the gaze of the onlookers, all the students held their chests and heads high, trying their best to show their best side, but occasionally there were a few whispers.
"Those marines are so tall, are they giants?"
"That giant in the yellow shirt is so wretched. He doesn't look like a good person."
Some residents looked at the outstandingly tall Sakaski and Porusalino, whose height and appearance made them stand out among the other students.
Porusalino raised his eyebrows, but instead of getting angry, he waved to the young girls around him.
"Little girl, I'll treat you to tea next time."
"Quiet," Zefa shouted when he heard the movement behind him and glanced at Porusalino.
He was very dissatisfied with the character of this kind of veteran student, who did not look like a soldier.
Zefa has great prestige both among the students and the surrounding residents. The scene suddenly became quiet, and no one spoke anymore. The only sound was the footsteps of the students.
After leaving the bustling urban area, they had already traveled 20 kilometers with a heavy load. Some students who had not had enough physical training began to feel a little tired.
Continuing to advance 20 kilometers, a mountain peak appeared in the distance. Many students had slowed down and were gasping for air.
Lucar, the three who carried the most weight, also felt some muscle soreness. Dalmecia, who followed closely behind, had his Dalmatian hat soaked with sweat, but his pace was still relatively stable, and he obviously still had a lot of energy left.
The last Walker, who was carrying a black weight-bearing bag, was already trembling in his legs. Although his Grizzly Bear Fruit could increase a lot of strength, his endurance was obviously not as strong as he thought.
Zefa felt that the speed of the team was constantly decreasing, and some students were about to fall behind, so he shouted loudly:
"Isn't it okay for you to be like this? You can't even keep up with this 42-year-old man, how can you still be called an elite? If you can't even meet the basics, why don't you please go back to the original branch?"
The students who were left behind heard Zefa's reprimands and taunts. No student wanted to leave the headquarters, wasting the best opportunity and forcing himself to activate his potential to keep up with the advancing troops.
Finally, after traveling another ten kilometers and arriving at the foot of a towering giant mountain, Zefa stopped.
Behind him, Lukar discovered that although General Zefa was not carrying any weight, there was no change in the general for more than fifty kilometers, as if he was just going out for a walk.
Zefa looked back at the students who had arrived at their destination and collapsed on the ground. All the students had successfully arrived, with a sly smile on his face.
"The mountain in front of you is as high as one thousand meters above sea level. This assessment really begins. The first fifty students to reach the top first will be selected. If there are less than fifty students who have reached the top, the top fifty will be selected after reaching the height."
"What, more!!"
"climb mountains?"
All the students were shocked, thinking that walking forward with weights was an assessment, but they didn't expect that it was just an appetizer and the real meal appeared.
Climbing a mountain with a heavy load and walking forward with a heavy load are two completely different levels of difficulty. Walking to higher places consumes more energy than normal walking, not to mention that they have just experienced a lot of exertion, and the students are crying everywhere.
"Instructor Zefa, can you use your Devil Fruit to recover before moving forward?" Walker, who was already paralyzed on the ground from exhaustion, asked Zefa.
Zefa looked at this silly big guy and smiled, "The increase in Devil Fruit's ability largely comes from the user himself. Only when the user is fundamentally strong can the Devil Fruit be more effective."
"For example, if a Devil Fruit can increase its strength by two times, and you spend a lot of time developing the Devil Fruit to increase its strength by three times, then you have become three times stronger. And if you double your physical strength, you will be three times stronger than before. With the Devil Fruit's amplification, you'll be four times stronger."
"It takes a lot of time to develop Devil Fruit abilities. During this time, you can more than double your basic qualities. You all understand this."
This time, Zefa patiently explained the reasons why Devil Fruits are not allowed to be used. Only in this way can the students' bodies be fundamentally trained.
