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

(⊙ω⊙)?

Loya blinked, his lips curling into an uncontrollable smile. He hurriedly took the cigarette, and his gaze toward Finbuddy changed.

It was like meeting a long-lost brother. If this had happened back in my college days, I might have had to call him "godfather"!

"Brother Di, where did you get this?"

"Hmph, newbie, don't try to compare yourself to me."

Finbuddy proudly raised his chin, lit a cigarette, tossed the lighter to Loya, and then leisurely squatted in the corner.

Smoking is prohibited during basic training, and all items brought into the camp will be confiscated, so getting cigarettes is not easy.

However, money makes things easier.

The two men, shirtless, squatted in the corner, puffing away on cigarettes with expressions of enjoyment. They looked more like prisoners who had just undergone labor reform than marines.

"Loya, you did a great job today."

"I learned it all from Brother Di!"

Loya waved his hand modestly.

The same is true.

This guy really has severe mysophobia. His meticulous attitude at work is even more serious than when he's on a date with his girlfriend. He even wipes the toilet so clean that you can lick it.

They're clearly from a wealthy family!

Working alongside the other party was, in his view, no less demanding than the morning's training. Not only was it physically exhausting, but facing the super boss, the toilet, was also a test of his spirit.

My nose is almost completely dead.

Finbuddy sized up Loya.

When they first met at noon, he was disgusted by Loya's rude eating habits and preferred his partner's elegant manners.

But after spending an afternoon together, his opinion of Loya completely changed.

Young, energetic, doesn't complain, and is willing to endure hardship.

Also, people who are clean are good people!

When he first joined the army, he also cleaned with his seniors, but their perfunctory attitude towards cleaning almost made him lose his temper.

He really liked Loya's earnestness.

"There's still some time. Come here, I'll teach you something new."

After stubbing out his cigarette, Fombardier walked to the middle of the empty rooftop, as if he had stepped onto a stage where everyone was watching, and he was beaming with pride.

"Loya, you're quite good, but if you want to get along well in high society in the future, elegant speech and behavior are very necessary, just like having beautiful handwriting."

Finbdi gave a mysterious smile, covered his sailor's hat with his right hand, bent his legs, and supported his body on his toes.

"And dance is the best way to enhance one's temperament."

Cover your crotch!

Kick!

Swing your arms!

Spin, jump, eyes closed~~

The high-difficulty moves came one after another.

Loya's eyes widened in disbelief.

The clean and crisp transitions, the captivating rhythm—for a moment, Loya thought he was watching a professional performance.

grace!

So elegant!

He was now 100% certain that this guy's dancing skills were absolutely top-notch in the world; it was a waste of his talent to be a marine.

Finbuddy spun around once, facing Loya in a cool way.

Hook your hand.

"Loya, come on!"

"I"

Loya was about to refuse. He liked watching girls dance, but he knew nothing about dancing himself and didn't even know where to start.

However, his body swayed to the rhythm of Finbuddy's music.

Spin, jump, eyes closed~~

Hey!

He's under a spell!

Night falls.

The island's electricity supply is limited, making it impossible to provide 24-hour lighting for the branch. In addition, the branch's training intensity is relatively mild, so the evenings are for rest.

The marines have all returned to their dormitories.

New recruits' dormitory.

After washing up, the newlyweds lay comfortably on the bed.

"Huh, Loya hasn't come back yet?"

"Didn't see it."

"That bastard was really arrogant during training!"

"Hmph, you haven't finished your training yet!"

"He should be doing extra training at the training ground."

"He deserved it!"

The newlyweds made sarcastic remarks.

In the morning's basic training, starting with the long-distance running, Loya did things differently and ran a full 20 laps.

The rest of the training programs were also designed for the "veterans," but for the newcomers, a morning was simply not enough time to complete such a large amount of training.

Of all the training programs, Loya only completed a little over half because he added extra training on his own, making him the only one of the six newcomers who failed to complete the training tasks.

According to the branch's regulations, if the training task is not completed in the morning, extra training must be done in the evening.

You deserve it.

"Hey, wanna play cards?"

"Yeah!"

"Hey, where did you get those cards?"

"Hehe, I'm hiding in my butt."

New recruit training ground.

In the dim sand, a figure could be vaguely seen rising and falling.

"156157158"

Loya, shirtless, with his hands behind his head, did sit-ups again and again, his back covered in sweat and mud.

After dinner, he didn't go straight back to his dormitory to rest, but went to the training ground to catch up on the training he hadn't been able to complete during the day.

He was to train himself according to the standards of a regular marine, and if he couldn't finish in the morning, he would work overtime at night until all the projects were completed.

This is the bottom line he set for himself.

There were no cell phones or computers.

Back in the dorm, all I could do was brag and go to bed early.

Going to bed so early, what's the point of staying healthy?

You might as well practice more outside!

Effort may not always bring rewards, but the sweat you shed will never let you down, especially in this perilous world.

"199200!"

Loya relaxed and lay sprawled on the sand.

Another one completed!

"catch my breath!"

Five minutes later, Loya walked toward the ropes area.

Rope climbing is a key training program.

In high-altitude battles, when warships are close to enemy ships, ropes are one of the best ways to board the enemy vessel.

If someone falls into the water during battle, they must use ropes to climb back onto the ship.

To save your life, you need to practice more.
