6. Three-year practice & invitation

Exactly how to train, how to become stronger, Chiba has no clue at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe sat on a reef by the sea, holding his chin in a daze. One thought after another appeared in his brain, and he immediately overturned it. A few minutes of brainstorming yielded nothing at all, which drove Chiba a little crazy.

"No matter, run first. ”

There is really no solution, so use the stupidest solution. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, run up first, jump up first, practice first, as long as you are stronger than ordinary people, that is also a kind of progress, isn't it?

So, in the following days, a "strange man" appeared on the beach of the island, and the villagers who occasionally came to this area looked at him with the eyes of fools, and told the monks in the temple, and the monks in the temple also came several times, looked at it from a distance, and turned back after making sure that it was Chiba.

Chiba, on the other hand, ignored the gaze of these people and spread his legs and exercised frantically on the beach.

Running, sit-ups, push-ups, handstand push-ups, frog jumps, back-and-forth runs...... All the training programs he could think of were added to his training plan by cramming. And every plan was doubled by him, even by three or five times so much.

Perhaps because of the different rules of the world, the human beings in the One Piece world generally have much better physical fitness than earthlings, and they are extremely adaptable, training at an intensity far beyond the limit of their bodies, if they are ordinary people on the earth, I am afraid that they will have to rest for several days the next day because of the muscles pulled. But Chiba's current body has too strong potential, no matter how much he trains, no matter how tired he is, when he wakes up, he is a good man who is alive and well.

With such confidence, Chiba frantically increased his training intensity.

By the first 100 days, three months later, he had more than tripled his training, doubling his training on average in a month. In the end, it is to sprint for 15 kilometers every day and squeeze every bit of physical strength out as much as possible. Then 1,000 push-ups, 1,000 sit-ups, 500 handstand push-ups, 1,000 frog jumps, 500 round-trips for 100 meters, and so on.

But soon, this kind of strength is not enough, and continuing to increase cannot strengthen the body. Scratching his head and thinking about it, Chiba ran to the only village on the island, found the only blacksmith in the village, and asked the other party to build a set of weight-bearing equipment for himself. Of course, he had no money, so he could only exchange it for five thousand catties of firewood.

In order to collect the 5,000 catties of firewood, it took Chiba nearly a week before and after, and when he piled up the firewood at the door of the blacksmith shop, the old blacksmith also happened to have completed the construction of the load-bearing equipment.

This set of weight-bearing equipment looked clumsy and black, like enlarged and thickened iron rings. But the weight of these iron bumps is really not light, a bracer is fifty catties, and the upper body is covered with a simple cuirass, which is a full three hundred catties, plus leg guards, plus additional weight plates, a complete set of more than two thousand catties.

If he uses his ability, Chiba can easily eject this set of weight-bearing equipment to a few hundred meters, yes, after a month of practice, he not only strengthened his physical fitness, but also greatly improved his fruit ability. But if you wear this set of weight-bearing equipment on your body, it will take effort, and even the current Chiba does not have such a strong physique.

Moreover, this set of heavy-duty equipment consumes more than 2,000 catties of iron ore, which has almost emptied the inventory of the blacksmith shop for many years, and it is definitely not something that can be exchanged for just 5,000 catties of firewood.

After asking, the old blacksmith's words left Chiba dumbfounded.

"Although this thing is for you, but you live on this island, when you don't need these things one day, I can take them back and rebuild them, what, do you want to take these things away?

Chiba was speechless, this old blacksmith's abacus was too slippery.

Indeed, if you can't find a way to leave, you'll have to stay here for many years. With his current cultivation speed, I am afraid that this set of equipment will be outdated in a few years, and it will be useless to keep it for myself at that time, so I will have to return it to the other party?

It's also drunk to do this kind of trading, and I worked hard to collect firewood for a week, but I just got the right to use a set of protective gear for a few years.

But after thinking about it, this is not bad, and it should all be a good fate. And this set of iron bumps, said to be worth a lot of money, is actually not worth a few dollars, and it can't be sold much if it is really taken out and sold, and it will be used for cultivation by itself, and it will be stronger after a few years. It's equivalent to exchanging money for power, so what's not to be satisfied with?

Reaching a deal, Chiba can't wait to resume her practice.

More than 2,000 catties, that is, a one-ton set of protective gear, simply relying on the strength of the body, it is really not a simple thing to wear.

It took Chiba about three months to do this, and even then, after putting on the full set of protective gear, the bones were creaking non-stop, and it was clear that the weight of the protective gear had reached the limit of his body's capacity. From then on, he began to practice wearing weight-bearing protective gear all over his body.

At first, it took a lot of effort to take each step, but gradually, he began to be able to walk slowly. Half a year later, he was already able to jog in protective gear. Half a year later, a black shadow swept across the seashore like a raging wind, kicking up countless dusty spots. At this time, Chiba was completely accustomed to the weight of the protective gear, and he could already achieve the degree that there was no difference between wearing the protective gear and not wearing the protective gear.

It's just that the weight of the protective gear is too big after all, and his endurance is a little insufficient, and he can only last less than half an hour when he exercises with all his strength. So what's next? It's simple, keep practicing!

The sun rises and sets, the flowers bloom, and before you know it, nearly a year has passed. Chiba hasn't been back to the temple for a long time, he has been practicing day and night by the sea, running into the old forests of Mount Kinabalu from time to time, racing with wild beasts, fighting with nature, and wearing this set of weights throughout the whole process, the surface of the weight-bearing protective gear has long been worn out and does not look good.

Finally, on the 1,000th day of landing on Chiba Island, he easily completed a 15-kilometer run, 5,000 push-ups, 5,000 sit-ups, and thousands of other events. It can be said that this set of protective gear is meaningless to him at this time, and even if he wears it, it can no longer bring him improvement.

Chiba stopped where he had first started his cultivation and took off the protective gear on his body one by one. As the armor was removed, his fierce bronze muscles were gradually revealed, and although they didn't look very strong, the power contained in the muscles was terrifying. Compared with the thin teenager three years ago, he is much stronger now, his face is much more mature, and he has unconsciously become a strong young man.

Throwing away the protective gear, a pillar of sand swayed when it landed, but Chiba didn't seem to see it, standing in place and slowly moving his joints a little sore.

In the dense forest next to him, a strong man who had been waiting for a long time slowly walked out.

Chiba saw the other party's eyes light up, and hurriedly beckoned to say hello, "Hey, Xiong, aren't you busy today, why do you have time to come here?"

That's right, it was Bartholomy Bear who came out of the woods. In three years, not only has Chiba grown, the originally white and clean thin boy has become this powerful and powerful young man, the big bear has also changed, his height is higher, three years ago it was less than four meters, he has almost doubled in size in three years, and now he is more than six meters tall and nearly seven meters tall, standing there, even a real bear is not as terrifying as him.

Xiong stepped closer and looked down at Chiba, compared to him, Chiba's figure could only be regarded as a small doll, or the level of a baby.

Big Bear scratched his head, and a sincere smile appeared on his face, "Chiba, are you leaving?"

Chiba, who was doing rehabilitation exercises, suddenly paused when he heard this.

He tugged at his lips and smiled, "I'm leaving?

Big Bear sat on the beach, the food box in his hand was put aside by him, he looked up at Chiba, and said seriously, "No one told me, but I feel so, in the past three years, you have been cultivating like crazy every minute and every second, although I don't know why you are pushing yourself so much, but I can see that you are an ambitious person, and this small island may only be your starting point." Now that you're used to this load, there's nothing here that makes you stronger, so I think you might have to leave. ”

Chiba was silent.

Ignoring his silence, Big Bear continued to himself, "Also, I found a small wooden boat on the beach behind, although I don't go there often, there were no boats there before. You must have built it little by little, and I saw several broken and unfinished wooden boats nearby. Now you have a way to leave, so I think you'll probably be out of here soon and into the wider world. ”

Chiba remained silent.

The Great Bear was also silent.

The two looked at each other silently, and after a long time, Chiba nodded slowly, "That's right, Xiong, you guessed it, I'm ready to leave." I'm ambitious, I want to see the wider world, and here, can't give me that, so sooner or later I'll leave, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. What about you, bear? Are you willing to live your whole life on this isolated island? Come with me, we brothers will go to the world together, as long as we join forces, no one in the world will be our opponent, we will be the strongest!"

Somehow, recalling the life of Ueshima for more than three years, Chiba's heart suddenly had a little more reluctance to this honest man, and subconsciously stretched out his right hand and sent an invitation to the big bear.
