Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 96 focuses on torture.

It was evening.

At the training ground exit, Piqué and three others were hanging from tree trunks, their faces swollen as if stung by wasps, even their lips were swollen like sausages.

Upon seeing Loya appear, the four immediately began to struggle excitedly.

"Old man, you're finally back."

"Huh, who are you?"

Loya stared at the four unknown creatures for a long time before recognizing them as his four newly recruited underlings from the crooked G-5 markings.

Could they be surrounded and attacked?

"Boss, where did you go?"

"We set up a small team in ambush, but you weren't at the agreed location."

"Later, everyone found out we were in cahoots with you, boss, and they all came to beat us up. Wait, why does my tongue feel numb?"

"Boss, we have to avenge us!"

The four men wept bitterly, filled with resentment.

They were the ones who bullied people before; when had I ever been bullied?

Revenge! We must get revenge!

"Um, sorry, something came up and I was held up."

Loya was extremely embarrassed. He had truly forgotten about these underlings, since they had only followed him this morning and he wasn't that familiar with them.

"I'll avenge you tomorrow!"

"Boss, just hearing that is enough!"

The four men immediately beamed with joy. Getting beaten up was no big deal, but they had to get their revenge. Their G-5 branch could take anything, but they couldn't stand being taken advantage of!

"Let's go back."

"Yes, boss!"

In the dead of night, the world...

Loya sat cross-legged in the gravity chamber, focusing his mind on the changes in his body, trying to control their rhythm.

There is no external interference within the "world".

In such a tranquil environment, it's easy to calm down. In less than three minutes, Loya's consciousness was focused solely on his own body.

The beating of the heart, the peristalsis of the stomach, the expansion and contraction of the lungs.

Everything appeared before my eyes.

It felt completely different from how it felt during the day.

Loya's "gaze" fell on his heart. With a thought, as if controlling his hands and feet, the heartbeat rate immediately increased, and the blood flow accelerated accordingly.

Seemingly influenced by the heart, other bodily organs also accelerated their movements, especially the lungs, which are close to the heart.

A single hair can affect the whole situation!

"Second gear!"

Loya suddenly remembered that Luffy's Gear Second uses a pump to accelerate blood flow, improve bodily functions such as the heart and lungs, and thus enhance strength and speed.

The principle is the same.

The difference is that Luffy has a rubber body and can be easily abused, while he can only gradually improve the strength of his body organs through training, unlike Luffy who can achieve this overnight.

The advantage is that it provides a real boost to bodily functions, unlike Luffy who had to give it back, and there are no side effects.

Each has advantages and disadvantages.

When Loya woke up from his "meditation" state, he was still somewhat unsatisfied and felt a strong sense of hunger.

I'm physically tired!

To strengthen your heart and lungs, you need to consume enough nutrients. Exercise is only an aid; sufficient nutrition and energy are the key.

Luffy was able to eliminate the side effects of Gear Second two years later, most likely by increasing the strength of his heart, lungs, and other organs through "eating".

"I'm so hungry!"

"The restaurant is closed."

"Instructor Dor should still have plenty of food in his refrigerator."

"It's past midnight, let's just pretend she wasn't asleep!"

The next morning.

Loya and his underlings continued operating the business.

"Remember this well: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is exhausted, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue. As long as you master these sixteen words, there is no battle that is difficult to fight."

"Boss is awesome!"

The four henchmen were very supportive.

"Be modest, I learned it all from books."

Loya gestured for a low profile, pointing to the G-3 team resting in the woods in the distance: "Now you know what to do, right?"

"Scare them!"

Pique excitedly took out two stones.

"This child is teachable!"

Loya was quite satisfied. He didn't have much time to play with his students, so it would be even better if his underlings could take his place in bullying them.

"Remember, once you catch a squad, torture them to death!"

"Don't switch targets until you've driven them to their breaking point!"

"You absolutely cannot start a war without absolute certainty. You have plenty of time to torment them!"

"In addition, to avoid being detected by the enemy, it is extremely important to change locations after each shot."

Loya's face was serious.

"Do you understand everything?"

"clear!"

The four of them lowered their voices in excitement.

The black-haired boss has so many schemes to torture the enemy; it's terrifying to even think about. No wonder he's the man they've chosen!

"I'll demonstrate for you, and then you can do it yourselves."

Loya picked up a stone.

"Bang!"

A rock the size of a fist smashed into Hao Huo's head.

"Um?"

Hao Huo touched his slightly itchy scalp, looked at the stones on the ground, and immediately got up, looking around.

"Who threw that stone?!"

No one responded.

"Hmph, childish!"

Hao Huo sat down unhappily.

A minute later, just as he relaxed.

"Bang!"

Another stone has hit me on the head!

Hao Huo was furious.

"You bastard, who is it? Show yourself if you dare!"

"."

It was quiet all around.

Three minutes later, Hao Huo, who was on edge, suddenly lunged forward and dodged the small stone falling from the sky.

"Damn it, it's in the west!"

This time, he saw it; it was a stone thrown from the jungle to the west.

"Chase!"

A group of people immediately rushed into the bushes to the west, but after searching for a long time, they could not find any trace of the enemy.

"Bang!"

Another stone fell between them!

It doesn't cause harm, but it's extremely insulting.

The entire morning was spent in a state of high tension. They had originally planned to seek revenge on the black-haired guy, but ended up being driven to the brink of mental collapse by the ordeal.

However, the nightmare was not over yet.

"Snapped!"

The bird egg shattered on Hao Huo's face, and the yolk spilled all over his face.

"You damned bastard!!!"

Birds flew and chirped in the woods.

On the other side, in the gravity training room.

Loya sat cross-legged, focusing his mind under the influence of twice the gravity.

The peacock was also there.

Perhaps stimulated by her sparring with Ian, the girl abandoned any thoughts of causing trouble for Loya and devoted herself wholeheartedly to training.

Loya wasn't in a hurry.

The more prepared he was, the more confident he became. He didn't believe that a woman's cultivation speed could match his, who possessed a "world."

"The environment here is very quiet, but it's not as easy to calm down as it is in the world. Is it because of the special effect of the world? It seems that learning skills in the world is indeed easier than in reality."

The thought flashed through my mind.

Having had a successful experience once, the second time should have been easier, but it took Loya a full ten minutes to enter the "meditation" state he had entered the night before.

Consciousness is immersed in the body.

Outside the room, Lu Yun stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"How is that possible!"

Senior Loya's hair was swaying, and he even playfully made a "V" sign, and secretly gave the middle finger to the peacock next to him.

This is something that can only be achieved by infusing consciousness into it; even a peacock that has trained in a gravity chamber more than ten times cannot do it.

This shows that it's only a matter of time before Senior Loya masters the art of returning life.

"Genius? No way!"

Lu Yun rejected this assessment. While strong learning ability can be described as genius, the body's adaptation to gravity cannot be accomplished by the brain alone.

Compared to his disheveled state yesterday, Loya now moved with ease in the gravity chamber, as if he had spent a long time there and was almost completely adapted to double gravity.

Lu Yun's face gradually turned rosy.

So exciting!

Could it be that Senior Loya possesses some special racial physique?

Or, let's increase the intensity a bit more and see where Senior Loya's limits are. It would be best to wait until Senior Loya is exhausted and then draw his blood, pluck his hair, and give him a full physical examination.

The girl placed her hand on the gravity-controlling thruster.

"Click click click!"

The numbers on the monitor rose rapidly.

2.1

"Click!"

"Triple gravity!"

Inside the gravity chamber, as the gravity increased, large beads of sweat appeared on the faces of the two people who were cultivating, and the veins on their foreheads and necks bulged.

"What happened?"

Loya woke up with a start and looked at the number three displayed on the wall. He immediately realized that the increased gravity had caused him to break out of his meditative state.

The pressure on my body is immense right now, and I'm even having trouble breathing.

"Ugh~~"

A suppressed groan came from beside me.

Loya glanced over and saw that Peacock seemed to have woken up even earlier than him. His clothes were soaked with sweat and his breathing was very rapid, but he was still gritting his teeth and persevering.

Hmm, could it be that she doesn't want to lose to him?

Ha, you want to outlast him, huh!

Whoever backs down first is a coward!
