"Ah..."
Kyle yawned and slowly sat up. Sunlight streamed in through the cabin window, spreading a golden glow and a peaceful atmosphere.
He stood up, opened the cabin door, and walked out.
However, the scene that greeted his eyes surprised him a bit.
The three little ones were training hard just like yesterday, lifting thick steel bars and swinging them with several weight plates attached.
He had known they woke up very early this morning, but he didn't expect they woke up so early just to train.
Kyle nodded slightly. Very determined.
He was now very curious to see how far these three could go in the future.
In the original story, Luffy never trained on the ship except during the times explicitly stated for training. He didn't even have a fraction of a fraction of Zoro's hard work.
Yet his strength increased incredibly fast.
The Chosen One of the Heavens is just different. Every battle brought a huge leap forward.
Kyle only watched them for a few moments before heading straight towards the warship's kitchen.
This kind of pure physical training was suitable for Luffy and the others now, but it wasn't suitable for him.
Given his current physique, even if all the weight plates on this warship were combined, it wouldn't be enough for him.
The power hidden within his small body was countless times greater than that of a giant.
Giants, these things.
They are strange.
Take Dorry and Brogy from Little Garden on the Grand Line for example.
You'd think their Hakoku was awesome enough, one move destroyed the giant sea king, the Goldfish King, and another move at the gates of Elbaf destroyed countless ships of the Kid Pirates.
In the end, the two of them even went to Egghead and gave the Five Elders a beating.
Yet they were beaten up by the Mr 3 back at Little Garden.
Although he used schemes, the difference in the combat performance of these two giants before and after is still a bit too large.
Most importantly, he currently had no need to train bitterly. He just needed to wait for his system to feed him.
Earlier, when he had just taken the physique enhancement pill, he was thinking he absolutely must not waste his talent, must not become like Big Mom.
But after fusing the rewards he got from recruiting Ace and the other two, he changed his mind.
Whether it was fusing Armament Haki, Observation Haki, or fusing Devil Fruit experience packs.
It didn't directly grant Kyle these abilities.
It was more like letting a virtual 'Kyle' master these abilities through constant training.
And all the training results from that process were also bestowed upon him.
To use an analogy, your classmate is learning a method to solve a problem. After he learns it, you not only get the solution to that problem, but you also learn the methods of deduction and problem-solving he learned during the process, not just the final result.
So, after fusing those rewards, Kyle's physique also received a huge boost.
Now he himself didn't know what level his physique had actually reached.
Maybe he could find time to test it out with Garp?
Compared to the increase in physique strength from this reward, the week of training he did with Luffy before wasn't even worth a hair.
Well then.
Who would still have the desire to work hard?
Just honestly wait for the system to issue tasks, go recruit those geniuses, sit and wait to be fed.
This stupid training, whoever likes it can do it.
Luffy, Ace, Sabo. ???
Not long after, Kyle came out holding a bowl of fried rice, sat on the railing, and started eating deliciously while watching them train, an expression of enjoyment on his face.
The fragrance wafted unconsciously, drifting to the noses of the three little ones who were training.
Instantly, all three of them paused their movements, their pupils slightly widened, their throats unconsciously moving.
The next moment, all three turned to look at each other, were silent for a moment, then spoke in unison.
"Should we also go eat fried rice first?" * 3
All three were stunned, then spoke again.
"I think that's okay, but you can't train secretly, you can't secretly try to outdo everyone!" * 3
Another sentence spoken in unison. This time all three fell silent, then nodded in unison, putting down their training equipment with uniform movements, and rushed towards the kitchen.
During this process, they still had to play some tricks.
Sabo grabbed the clothes of Ace and the other, yanked hard. Their necks tightened, eyes bulged, and they fell to the ground.
Sabo rushed past them, flashing them a smile.
"I'm the second brother, I should eat first."
"Damn it."
Luffy growled, his arm stretched out suddenly, grabbed Sabo's ankle, and pulled.
Sabo fell flat on his face, his face making intimate contact with the deck.
Ace shouted loudly.
"Well done, Luffy."
After saying that, he got up and rushed towards the kitchen.
Then the next moment, he was also pulled by Luffy and fell to the ground.
Luffy. "I'm the youngest, I eat first."
Ace. "No, I eat first."
Sabo. "Wait, don't you guys know how to defer to your elders."
...
The three of them jostled their way towards the kitchen while fighting.
Kyle. ....
These three, they really are... full of energy.
As he ate, Kyle suddenly heard snoring in his ears. He frowned slightly and looked towards the source of the sound.
Buggy was leaning against the railing, fast asleep, his mouth slightly open, drool dripping from it.
Seeing this, Kyle's frown deepened.
His figure flashed and appeared in front of Buggy. He took off the shoe on his foot.
Slap.
A red shoe print appeared on Buggy's face, instantly waking him up.
"Ouch. That hurts. Wha, what happened."
Buggy was completely bewildered until he saw Kyle in front of him and the shoe in his hand.
His pupils suddenly widened, his face flushed, instantly red with rage.
"You wretched little..."
Seeing Kyle's flat expression, Buggy felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart and hurriedly changed his words.
"You wretched little handsome guy. Being so adorable makes even a big man like me so jealous."
After saying that, Buggy felt it still wasn't enough, so he added with a coquettish expression.
"You devil."
Slap.
A shoe print appeared on the other side of Buggy's face, instantly making him howl in pain.
Kyle's voice, full of chill, came through.
"Next time you talk to me in that tone, I promise I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Buggy shivered all over, instinctively looked up, and met Kyle's eyes full of disdain and chill. He felt like crying but had no tears.
Damn it.
Under someone else's roof, living worse than a dog.
This brat, he better not let him have a day to turn things around, otherwise he'd definitely...
Find a place to hide properly, so this brat could never catch him again.
Buggy truly had no thought of revenge at all. Staying on this warship with these people, he deeply understood the terrifying potential of this brat before him.
Even Shanks, who he once thought had unparalleled talent, wasn't fit to carry this brat's shoes.
How could he possibly have thoughts of revenge. He'd definitely stay as far away as possible.
Of course, the premise was that he had a day to turn things around...
