Seeing the Eight Fasts fly back into Roy's hands in a form that violates the laws of physics, the stone man was stunned for a moment.

Is this the ability of the eight fasts?

Or Roy's superpowers?

The stone man thought suspiciously.

Although he was very curious, the stone man was as steady as his current appearance, and he controlled his curiosity very well, and had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

It's not a good habit to pry into someone's privacy!

After recalling the Eight Lents back into his hands, Roy once again used his armed color to harden the Eight Lents, making the Eight Lents turn back into pitch black.

Just as he was about to continue lying down and carry out the black rod refining plan, the stone man said again:

"Are you free now?"

"Would you be interested in going to my training ground?"

Training grounds?

Roy turned to look at the stone man.

After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded.

……

Manhattan.

Hell's Kitchen.

The Stone Man's training ground is not in the Baxter Building, but in an abandoned factory in Hell's Kitchen.

Of course, it used to be a factory, but now it has been converted into a training ground by the Stone Man.

Although there are many vacant floors in the Baxter Building, for safety reasons, the Stone Man still found an abandoned factory in Queens and bought it and converted it into a training ground.

Training here is not only a little more freewheeling, but you don't have to worry about disturbing other people.

After following the Stone Man here, Roy took a look at the Stone Man's personal training ground.

On the surface, it's not much different from the gym outside.

If you don't look at the weight of the training equipment.

"How's it going here?"

"Not bad, right?"

The stone man said quickly.

"Pretty good."

Roy replied.

After hearing Roy's answer, the stoneman continued:

"Do you want to play with two hands?"

"How to play?"

Roy asked rhetorically.

"It's very simple, let's talk about it."

"Although you don't look very strong, I guess your strength is not less than mine."

"It's been a long time since I've sparred with someone of similar strength."

The stone man said expectantly.

"Empty-handed or armed?"

Roy continued.

"I am empty-handed, but you can fast for eight days."

"I didn't mean to let you, and you should be able to see that my body is my weapon."

The stone man said quickly.

"I'll be empty-handed, too."

"Like you, my body is a weapon."

Roy said with a smile.

Although he didn't know how much strength the Stone Man had now, even if the Stone Man was stronger than him, he was the one who had the advantage.

The Stone Man is a typical opponent with a lot of strength and strong defense.

Roy has not had a lot of contact with such opponents.

Not to mention, his roommate Coulix is a similar opponent.

"Are you sure you want to go empty-handed?"

The stone man asked.

"Of course."

Roy replied with a serious face.

It's not that he looks down on the stone man.

If he fasts with eight fasts, there is a high probability that the stone man will not be able to survive even one move.

For ordinary people, the stone man's defense is invincible.

Even if it is bombarded with cannonballs, it may not also seriously injure the stone man.

But for Roy, not to mention that the stone man only has a rock body.

Even if he has a steel body, if he thunders and gossips, the stone man will be defeated on the spot.

The full version of the Thundering Gossip that was defeated by One Piece's No. 1 Shi Kaido more than 500 times before it became a big success, is not something that the stone man can resist.

Even the rampaging Phoenix Girl was defeated by Roy's thunderous gossip tricks with all his might.

No matter how strong the stone man is, he can't be stronger than the rampaging Phoenix Girl.

"Well, since you also want to be empty-handed, let's be empty-handed."

"By the way, if you want to use the eight fasts at that time, you can use them at any time."

The stone man silently reminded Roy.

"Good!"

Roy said with a smile.

In the ring in the middle of the training ground, Roy and the stone man stood face to face at a distance of three or four meters.

The ring they were in now looked similar to a boxing ring, but it was much larger.

In addition, the ring is not tied around the rope, but a metal steel cable.

According to the Stone Man, these metal cables were used on the aircraft carrier to slow down the fighter jets and land, and Mr. Fantastic Reed used some connections to get them for him.

The stone man took a deep breath, raised his hands, and took a fist stance.

After seeing the stone man's movements, Roy casually raised his hands to signal that the stone man himself was ready for battle.

Because there is no so-called referee, it naturally doesn't matter if you can make a move after the whistle blows.

Without hesitation, the stone man took the lead in attacking.

Don't look at the stone man's appearance that looks very inflexible, but in fact, his speed is not slower than that of a normal person.

Soon, the stoneman came up to Roy and threw a standard right jab at him.

Compared to the speed of movement, the stone man is undoubtedly much faster in punching.

The massive rock right fist slammed into Roy's head like a cannonball.

Right jab on the head!

An attack that is all too common in boxing.

Although the stone man's punch was menacing, to Roy, the stone man's punch was no threat.

Instead of raising his hand to block, he watched as the stone man's right fist slammed into his head.

Just when the stone man's right fist was about to hit him, he tilted his head slightly and avoided the stone man's right fist with a casual expression.

Then, before the stone man could close his fist and adjust his stance, he struck.

The same right jab!

It's just that, unlike the stone man's right jab on the head, Roy didn't choose to attack the stone man's head, but aimed at the stone man's chest.

Boom!

The dull sound of blows sounded like the drums of war.

Roy didn't go all out, only using about half of his strength.

But even so, the stone man who was hit in the chest still flew upside down with his feet off the ground.

The advantages of the body are beginning to show.

The stone man flew upside down for only a meter or two, and his feet touched the ground again.

However, just as he was about to adjust his balance, Roy's ghost half appeared in front of him.

Boom!

Roy struck again, and landed an uppercut to the stoneman's chin.

Caught off guard, the stone man didn't have time to do anything, his feet off the ground again, and he was knocked away by Roy's punch.

Thump!

Roy didn't continue attacking the Stonemen, watching as the Stonemen who had been knocked into the air by himself fell to the ground.

This......

Before the fight, the stone man guessed that Roy was very difficult to deal with.

But he didn't expect Roy to be so tricky.

This was the first time he had been knocked flying in a bare-handed combat since he gained his superpowers, and two times in a row.

Not only that, but he didn't even see how he was hit.

Although Roy's two punches did not cause particularly much damage to his body, they did bring a lot of damage to his heart.

How is this possible?

Is this guy a monster?

The stone man sighed as he got up from the ground.

"Go on!"

"I haven't lost yet!"

The stone man said unconvinced.
