Erik pushed his body through the might, struggling to do so, after some struggle, he finally managed to perform his first pushup.
"I am one step closer to completing my goal." Erik said out loud with a wide grin across his face. A week has passed since Sato woke up in the body of Erik and today, he finally managed his first push up.
After celebrating the accomplishment, he went over to the river and drank the water in the river. The water in the river came from a mountain on the end of the island so it was safe to drink unlike sea water.
Erik started doing pushups again, doing one Rep each time and making his muscles stronger each time.
"Push, Push and push... 20." Erik said as he completed his twentieth pushup, his muscles were sore from the strain put on them.
He sighed as he stretched his arms to lessen the strain. Walking over to the mango tree, he strikes a mango using a stick, the mango falls to the ground.
He picked up the fallen mango and peels the skin of the mango. Erik licks his lips as he puts the mango inside his mouth, a seed pops out of his mouth as he spits it out.
"That was refreshing." He said as he rubbed his belly. His arms felt a little lighter after eating the mango. People of this world possess a unique property of eating food and digesting said food very quickly, They have what is called enhanced metabolism. In udon prison Kidd and Luffy digested a whole lot of food and digested it very quickly by releasing air from their mouths like balloons, another example of such enhanced metabolism is when Luffy and brook drink milk to regenerate a lost tooth, Those are impossible in Sato's old world but in this world such a thing is possible, not many know about this enhanced metabolism in this world, maybe that is the reason why people here are unusually strong than in Earth. (This ability cannot be used very often because it has a strain on the user's body like how gear second causes a lot of strain because it also works by enhancing the metabolism.)
'Time to do a run now.' Erik thought as he started running around the camp, the camp was not particularly very large but doing a lot of laps around is the same as running long distances.
His stamina eventually started depleting and he had to take multiple breaks to regain some of his stamina. His body was still healing his upper region so it was har for him to gain much energy during such breaks.
After running, Erik performed squats, His body was already pretty light so doing around 20 squats was no problem to him, but after 50 squats his lower body started to get sore, he decided it was time for another quick mango break to reduce the soreness.
While waiting for his body to heal, Erik started to create a makeshift spear using a piece of strong branch and a sharp flint stone.
He had found a suitable piece of flint in the bottom of the river a few days ago while hunting for crabs so he used it.
For the wooden shaft, he decided to use a branch of an ebony tree, the large pole arm is supposed to be strong enough to handle being thrown around.
Erik started by creating a rope from root fibres of different herbs and shrubs. He rolled up the root fibre and braided multiple of such root fibres to create a strong enough rope. after doing so, he split the wooden shaft from the middle a little bit and placed the sharp piece of flint inside it, he tightened the flint attached to the shaft by wrapping the rope around the split created int he wood, just below the flint and around the flint.
The makeshift polearm was complete and it was Erik's first wepon crafted in his conquest.
