One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Linus repeatedly tried to grab Loya, but each time he missed by a hair's breadth, instead suffering repeated heavy blows from his opponent. The series of defeats caused his mentality to change rapidly.

Realizing he was going to lose, his attacks became even more chaotic.

He's full of weaknesses!

"Senior Linus, losing your composure will only make you lose faster."

As Linus's hand reached out again, Loya spun around to his side and swept his right foot down at Linus's ankle.

"Oh!"

Linus lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. When he awkwardly raised his head, he saw Loya holding out his hand to him.

"Thank you!"

Linus's face flushed red as he grasped Loya's hand and stood up.

The final round!

The two stood a meter apart, facing each other in a fighting stance. Unlike before, the roles of challenger and challenged seemed to have been reversed.

Linus was covered in cold sweat and couldn't help but swing his right palm.

"Snapped!"

Before his right palm had traveled halfway, it was violently slapped to the side by Loya, forcing his hand to change course and grab at the air on his left, causing his body to tilt as well.

The next instant, a storm of attacks came down!

"drink!"

With a roar, Loya reversed the hand that had struck the opponent's right arm, and slapped the back of his hand hard across the opponent's face, followed by his left palm and then his right fist!

Face, chest, waist and abdomen!

From head down, more than a dozen punches and palm strikes rained down on Linus, forcing him to retreat continuously, completely unable to fight back.

As the palm strike to Linus's waist and abdomen sent him staggering back several steps, Loya quickly followed up, then suddenly spun downwards, using his hands to propel himself up and deliver a powerful kick to Linus's chin with his feet together!

"Crack!"

The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible!

"Fly!"

Linus was thrown into the air, his body swept over the net, and he crashed straight onto the sand outside the ring.

K.O!

At this moment, the training ground was completely silent.

Seeing Linus unconscious, the marines could hardly believe their eyes. Their trusted "Iron Hand" had been defeated so easily by a rookie.

Even Finnbudy was dumbfounded. What kind of training had Loya undergone while he was slacking off to achieve such amazing performance?

And this brat, he actually used his dancing skills to show off in battle, how come he didn't think of that!

Suddenly, a chill ran down the spines of the veterans.

The newcomer's devilishly intense gaze fixed on them!

Chapter 14 Mr. Loya, please go first.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the atmosphere on the training ground was quite strange. When it was time for free training, everyone's attention was focused on Loya.

Who will he call out today?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Loya approached Carol with a smile and issued a challenge: "Senior Carol, let's have a training match!"

"My stomach hurts!"

Carol's expression changed drastically, and she quickly tried to find a reason to refuse, but Loya seemed to have been prepared and handed her the antidiarrheal medicine.

Ok?

Is the medicine ready?

Brother, can't you give me a break?

In front of so many acquaintances, couldn't you at least save him some face?

Looking into Loya's innocent eyes, Carol's face turned pale and then red, and she gritted her teeth as she picked up the wooden knife.

That awful newbie!

Do you really think I'm afraid of you?

Today, I'll show you the power of my "purple hair"!

"Let's have a sword fight!"

"it is good!"

The two men walked toward the arena with wooden swords in their hands.

Seeing this, the other veterans relaxed considerably, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a lingering fear.

"It's [Purple Hair] Carol!"

"Oh, poor Carol."

"Hopefully he can hold on for ten minutes."

"Ten minutes? What are you thinking? Three minutes at most!"

The veterans were still shaken.

They were genuinely afraid!

Since Linus opened Pandora's box two weeks ago, new recruit Loya has been challenging them every day.

The more famous a name is, the more likely it is to be challenged!

If they could win, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the problem is that the recruit, Loya, is as strong as a monster; most of the veterans are no match for him.

Even if someone manages to beat him once, they'll be beaten back the next day; it's like going from heaven to hell.

Being defeated by a newcomer is embarrassing, and nobody wants to be beaten up for no reason. You should know that the first challenger, Linus, spent three whole days in the hospital.

As for refusing.

If you refuse a challenge from a new recruit, do you have no shame?

"Ahhhh!!!"

In less than three minutes, Carroll was rolling around in the ring clutching her broken arm, screaming louder than a pig being slaughtered.

The veterans instinctively shrank their necks.

I can't afford to offend him, I can't afford to offend him at all!

The fortress tower, the highest floor.

Colonel Rhodes looked down at the training field, rubbing his forehead in exasperation.

"That kid's always getting into trouble!"

He was well aware of what had happened recently; a stack of reports on his desk were all complaints about Loya disrupting military discipline.

He certainly hadn't forgotten Loya.

Young, hardworking, and talented.

It's hard not to like a recruit like that.

The original plan was to let Loya hone his skills within the branch for a while longer, build a solid foundation, and then train him to be a key member in the future.

But in less than two months, the veterans were so tormented that they became timid and hesitant. If they continued to let him run wild, that kid would become arrogant and conceited.

We need to find something for this brat to do!

Rhodes hesitated for a moment.

It's impossible to defeat the pirates.

Aside from powerful pirate crews like the Black Cat Pirates, most pirate crews hide from the Navy, making them difficult to find. Without intelligence, the Navy will not launch an attack without authorization.

Moreover, it would be too risky for a new recruit to face pirates on their first outing. This is not a matter of strength; a life-or-death battle is completely different from a friendly spar.

Newcomers need time to grow.

"Let's go to Xiluobu Village."

Rod quickly made up his mind.

The branch has limited resources and relies solely on the World Government for support, which is barely enough to replenish weapons and ammunition. The warships also need proper repairs after several battles.

We need to get sponsorship.

at dusk.

When Loya and Finkley arrived at the restaurant, the previously noisy environment immediately quieted down. The veterans in the food area made way for Loya when they saw him coming.

Sir, please go first!

Their polite demeanor practically screamed it all.
