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

However, not everyone is interested in the whole star-chasing thing.

Tashigi glanced at the noisy crowd, silently declined her roommate's invitation to join in the fun, and went to the restaurant alone.

There are many other new recruits like her.

This is a military camp. Although the new recruits are very excited to see Loya, once the novelty wears off, they will have to rely on their strength to prove themselves.

Loya was well aware of this as well.

Gaining the approval of new recruits isn't something you can achieve just by being good-looking.

Coincidentally, he had a good idea.

The next morning, the new recruits gathered at the training ground to begin their day's training. As is customary, the new day started with morning exercises.

"Eh?"

When the new recruits saw Loya and his two companions standing at the front of the morning exercise line, wearing the same style of new recruit training uniform, they were puzzled.

Instructor Loya, what are you doing?

"Beep!"

The other instructors blew their whistles, and the running team started moving. The three people at the front of the team, including Loya, immediately started running.

The recruits then realized that Instructor Loya was going to train with them.

This instructor seems a bit different!

Chapter 59 My greatest skill is rolling things up.

In the training ground.

Loya trained alongside the new recruits.

He wasn't actually good at mentoring others, but he knew there was a very simple way to gain recognition and integrate into the group.

We ate together, lived together, and trained together!

There was no discrimination whatsoever; all the equipment and facilities were exactly the same as those for new recruits, and even their living quarters were moved to a collective dormitory.

He's not good at coaching others, but he's good at training!

In just one day, the recruits looked at Loya with much more affection.

The new recruits were initially worried that Loya was very powerful and would cause trouble to demonstrate the authority of the chief instructor.

As it turned out, this head instructor was not only approachable, but also trained alongside them through thick and thin, and even chatted and laughed with them during breaks.

Who wouldn't like a leader like that?

"Instructor Loya, I feel like I'm losing my balance when I swing my sword. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?"

"of course can."

"Instructor Loya, shall we go take a shower together?"

"Okay."

Gradually, the new recruits became very proactive in getting along with Loya. They would ask him questions whenever they didn't understand something, and they would even ask Loya for help when they encountered problems in their lives. They would even get together and do the same thing during exercise time.

Brigadier General's Office.

Murak stood by the window, looking down at Loya training quietly in the training field, and was very satisfied with his arrangements.

Things have finally calmed down.

Even if they were capable, they'd still obediently listen to orders now.

Trying to fight him is a fool's errand!

"Siro, how's it going at the casino?"

"It has reopened."

With a fawning smile, Shiro added, "Commodore, what should we do with the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro?"

"Ignore him for now."

Murak felt a chill run down his spine.

The pirate hunter Zoro is clearly one of Loya's men. Loya has only been behaving himself for a few days now, and he doesn't want to provoke Loya because of a pirate hunter.

Who knows what outrageous things that crazy kid might do?

The current situation is good. Let's slowly boil the frog for a while, and wait until that kid's arrogance is worn down in a few months before dealing with him!

"Give the order that pirate hunters are prohibited from entering the casino."

"understand!"

-

As time went by, the recruits quickly adapted to Loya's presence. Apart from having a new head instructor to train with, everything else was the same as before.

Morning, it's time for morning exercises.

Inside the dormitory, Loya had a 100-kilogram backpack at his feet, while Finbudi and Zango had also prepared 50-kilogram backpacks.

"Finbudi, Zango."

"Major!"

"It's time to give the newcomers a bit more challenge!"

"understand!"

A sinister smile crept across the three men's lips.

Soon, the three arrived at the training ground, and their conspicuous heavy backpacks immediately caught the attention of the new recruits.

"Weighted running exercises?"

The new recruits felt a chill run down their spines.

Is Chief Instructor Loya planning to increase the training intensity?

When the training began, the new recruits suddenly felt the pressure as they watched Loya and his two companions move at lightning speed.

"You run so fast!"

Not only are they carrying heavy loads, but their running speed is also twice as fast as usual.

They had just finished one lap and were still warming up when Loya and his two companions left them a full lap behind, and they didn't seem to be slowing down at all.

Many new recruits were secretly anxious.

Although Loya did not ask them to increase their training volume, it was impossible for them not to have some thoughts when they saw Loya and his two adjutants passing by them time and time again.

Why are we so far behind?

"hateful!"

Tashigi gritted her teeth and decisively quickened her pace. Physical training was her weakness, but even running one more lap would be good; she didn't want to fall too far behind.

Many outstanding recruits also quickened their pace, unwilling to admit defeat.

It's normal to be left behind by Instructor Loya, but we're all seventeen or eighteen-year-olds, the age when our self-esteem is at its strongest. Who wouldn't have a temper?

Falling behind by a few laps is nothing, but falling behind by dozens of laps is a psychological blow that few people can accept calmly!

In the blink of an eye, almost a quarter of the new recruits had broken away from the group and were now chasing after Loya and his two companions.

"Hey, what's going on?!"

The remaining recruits were dumbfounded.

Why are they all suddenly working so hard like they've been injected with chicken blood? Doesn't that make them look weak because they're lagging behind?

Should it be rolled up like this?!

Can't you give me a way out?

The atmosphere on the training field changed dramatically in an instant, even making the instructors' eyelids twitch.

Rolled up.

One hour later, the running exercise time ended.

The new recruits were all exhausted.

Normally, the training volume for new recruits is 40 laps (20 kilometers). However, due to unforeseen circumstances, even the worst recruits ran 10 more laps.

Loya ran a full 100 laps!

With the 100-kilogram load included, it's perfectly comparable to the 200-lap standard of the main recruit camp.

It should be noted that all the new recruits in this unit are the elite of the elite, and they can directly become non-commissioned officers after graduation. Some of the most capable even have the strength of generals or colonels upon graduation.

The current three admirals of the Navy all came from the recruit camp at headquarters; they are monsters who can fight for ten days and ten nights straight.

Both Fenbdi and Zango ran more than 80 laps, which, even with their weights, would have been considered acceptable at the main recruit camp.

The two of them had long been used to being entangled with Loya.

"Weird. Monster!"
