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

Chapter 98: A small loss if you lose, a huge loss if you win!

"The peacock challenges the black-haired warrior to a duel!"

The next morning, news of Peacock's challenge to Loya to a duel spread throughout the training camp, even alarming the lieutenant general instructors from various branches.

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

Regardless of the training camp, the competition for first place among the trainees is always the highlight. This is not only an honor for the trainees themselves, but also represents the highest level of this year's young officers.

Amid the expectations of the instructors and trainees, the black-haired man gave a clear response.

"Three days later, at noon, on the largest training ground within the base!"

Gravity chamber.

Under twice the pressure of gravity, Loya ran on the treadmill shirtless, wearing an oxygen mask and metal patches for monitoring.

Outside the room, the girl with glasses monitored Loya's heart rate and blood oxygen levels, adjusting the treadmill speed and gravity intensity from time to time to keep Loya's body in an optimal active state at all times.

Scientific training methods!

The challenge from the peacock was too hasty. Loya did not intend to avoid the battle, but he had to make preparations before the battle, and it would be too discreet to do so in the grove.

Since it's a duel for first place, how can it be without an audience?

The battle was to take place within the base, allowing all the trainees and the lieutenant general instructors to observe, which aligned with his expectations.

First, make a grand display. Even if you really lose to the peacock, it will be considered a matter of course in the eyes of the trainees.

After all, Peacock is Crane's granddaughter, and she received the best training from the headquarters' elites from a young age, truly a favored daughter of heaven.

He, however, was an unknown nobody from the East China Sea.

It's obvious that few people have a good chance of winning this duel; even his companions from the East Sea think the probability of him defeating Peacock is extremely low.

What does this tell us?

Losing means a small profit, winning means a huge profit!

Even if he loses, everyone will remember his heroic and handsome figure, and remember the black-haired man.

He's already made a fortune.

If he pulls off an upset and beats the peacock, the scene is simply unimaginable.

The one who should be panicking now is the other side!

"Huff... huff..."

Loya's gaze was intense.

"Lu Yun, increase the intensity a bit more. Don't worry about my health."

"clear!"

Lu Yun was incredibly excited; she was eager to know just how far Luo Ya could evolve in just three days.

As for her sisterly bond with Peacock, nothing was more important than observing men; she betrayed him the moment she became interested in Loya.

As the treadmill speeds up, gravity also increases.

Loya's pressure increased sharply, his bones cracked and popped, and pain followed, but he had to adapt to the gravity environment as soon as possible until he could fight freely under twice the gravity.

There is no time to waste.

Only in this way can we be confident of defeating Peacock. That woman is strong not only in basic combat ability, but also in Devil Fruit power.

the other side.

Peacock didn't let her guard down either, and found Ain.

She left the gravity chamber yesterday, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, with the black-haired man's wicked laughter echoing in her mind.

Hehehe~~ Hehehe~~

It's the kind that plays on a loop!

If you hold back for a moment, you'll feel more and more cheated; if you back down, you'll feel angrier and angrier!

She's the dominant one!

In a fit of extreme anger, she had her companions issue a challenge to the black-haired man, but once she calmed down, she immediately regretted it.

Even though she's in first place and holds the dominant position, she's making herself look like a challenger, unable to back down.

There's no benefit to winning.

I lost, I'm too ashamed to face anyone.

Not only that, when Grandma finds out that she acted so impulsively, she will definitely scold her severely, and might even lock her in a dark room.

We've suffered a huge loss!

I regret it, I really regret it.

"It's all that guy's fault for smiling so smugly!"

Peacock cursed inwardly. If that guy hadn't been laughing so happily, or because his chest had been flattened, she wouldn't have been so angry.

It still hurts!

Peacock suppressed her resentment and bowed sincerely, pleading, "Senior Aien, could you please provide me with special training?"

"Can."

Ain nodded gently.

Having followed Master Zefa for many years, she has considerable experience in guiding younger practitioners and is happy to help.

Night falls, at the East China Sea dormitory.

"The black-haired brother hasn't returned?"

"They say it's special training!"

"Training so late, they're really pushing themselves."

The officers were chatting while lying in bed.

Who do you think will win?

"It should be a peacock."

"I also think the peacock can win."

"Me too!"

The sentiment was almost unanimous. It wasn't that they didn't trust Loya, but rather that the two sides were truly difficult to compare; on paper, they were vastly different.

Iska objected: "How can you side with outsiders? Senior Loya has defeated top-ten ranked students before!"

"But, Iska, while the black-haired brothers are indeed very strong, that peacock is universally acknowledged as number one!"

The officers didn't want to boost the morale of the enemy while diminishing their own, but the problem was that the enemy was overwhelmingly strong.

"I went to the venue today. Peacock's Dao power has exceeded 600, while the second place only has a mere 500 Dao power—a difference of a full 100 Dao power!"

"hiss--"

Everyone gasped.

They are still sprinting towards 200 power.

Iska couldn't speak, so she pulled up the blanket and wrapped herself up.

angry!

Time passed day by day.

Loya and Peacock disappeared from the sight of outsiders, throwing themselves wholeheartedly into special training and making their final sprint.

The atmosphere of the training camp gradually became tense.

The only ones who were really smug were probably the four henchmen of the G-5 branch, who would grab anyone they could and shout arrogant things like, "Black Hair is my big brother, he will definitely defeat Peacock."

On the third day of the decisive battle.

"Let's go to the training ground!"

Even though it was still morning, the trainees finished their training early and headed to the training ground. Even those trainees who couldn't complete their physical training in half a day were given a half-day off as an exception.

The spacious training ground resembled a large concert venue, with tens of thousands of students gathered around, a dense, dark mass, all excitedly waiting.

"Peacock! Peacock! Peacock!"

The trainees cheered for Peacock's name, while very few cheered for Loya. However, the hundreds of trainees from the G-5 branch, led by Pik and his three companions, put in extra effort.

Black hair will prevail!

A flag several meters long was erected, attracting countless disapproving glances from the trainees, and even the lieutenant generals were speechless with disbelief.

"Hmph, they're all in cahoots!"

"Why does the Navy need such scoundrels?!"

"Aren't they ashamed?"

Few people were willing to give the scoundrels of the G-5 branch a friendly look; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they severely tarnished the positive image of the Navy.

The same is true.

They indulge in eating, drinking, having fun, and tormenting pirates. Apart from not doing anything serious, the marines of the G-5 branch are proficient in everything else. However, the base commander of Vergo is extremely indulgent towards his subordinates.

"The black hair needs to be adjusted to the G-5 branch; it absolutely has to be right!"

"That's right."

"It would be best to dump them all in G-5 and let those scum fend for themselves."

On the other side, in the laboratory.

Loya sat at the dining table, indulging in a hearty meal, while the unmanned cooking machine invented by Vegapunk next to him spun rapidly, continuously feeding the table with freshly cooked food.

The girl with glasses had huge dark circles under her eyes and had barely slept for three days, but she was more excited than ever before.

She was now absolutely certain that Senior Loya's body definitely had a problem; that extraordinary self-regulating ability was even more miraculous than the power of a Devil Fruit.

However, she cannot detect it with her current methods, but she believes that given enough time, she will definitely be able to crack the secret.

After this training camp ends, she will leave with Senior Luo Ya!

"Senior, it's almost time for the duel."

"clear."

Loya raised his head, and his round belly shrank at a visible speed, instantly returning to its eight-pack abs!

"Ready!"
