I'm at the top of One Piece

Switching between chest and abdominal breathing is difficult; even for Kureha, switching from one instinct to another is quite challenging.

However, even though it was only a short time after the switch, Kureha experienced some benefits.

They have more energy than before, and their kidney function has also improved.

"Cough cough cough!" Kureha coughed violently as she walked on the snow, her face turning red. "Damn it, I choked on my breathing, this is the worst kind of abdominal breathing."

Kureha glanced at Messer, who seemed to be using diaphragmatic breathing as if it were an instinct, and was speechless.

This kid is really something else.

At this moment, Messer's sweet voice rang out: "Doctor Doriel, I told you to drink less alcohol while walking, but you didn't listen. See, you've got it stuck."

Kureha wiped the foam from her lips and sneered, "You little brat, you think you can tell me what to do? You're a hundred years too early."

"That's right, Doriel's mother is over a hundred years older than Mercer, so there's nothing wrong with that."

Mercer was held in Kureha's hands, suspended in mid-air, and spoke in a cute, childlike voice.

Kureha's eye twitched, and she said with a forced smile, "I'll cook you a pot of nourishing soup when we get back. Remember to drink it all."

The so-called "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup" is simply a stew of vegetables and minced meat, with the addition of some warming herbs that Kureha herself has prepared, suitable for a one-year-old child.

It's nutritious, good for health, and easy to digest, but it tastes terrible—bitter and astringent.

As for why it was all in one pot, that's because Kureha detected that Mercer's digestive abilities were extraordinary.

They are in no way inferior to adults.

These are some of the benefits of diaphragmatic breathing.

Can you add sugar?

Seeing that Kureha ignored her, Messer sighed helplessly, letting his head, hands, and feet hang down naturally, allowing the latter to carry him forward with his slings.

Messer did not notice the slight upturn at the corners of Kureha's mouth.

New author, new book!

Regarding the relationship between Garp and Kureha, the author has developed a secondary interpretation after some deduction.

Kureha truly knew Roger's full name, and perhaps even D. Some details suggest she had some connection with Roger.

Therefore, the connection to Garp is extended, since Kureha has lived long enough that it's not surprising that they would know each other.

No need to take it too seriously. Also, thank you all for your feedback! Please refrain from using abusive language; I have a soft heart and can't take insults.

Chapter 3 Bamboo Forest, Rats

The human body is made up of cells, and cells need nutrients and oxygen to survive.

Inhaling means taking in fresh air from the air through the nose, trachea, and bronchi into the lungs. The lungs then separate the oxygen from the air and transport it to the heart. The heart then uses arteries to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all the cells in the body.

Exhalation is the process by which carbon dioxide and other waste gases expelled from cells are transported through veins to the heart and lungs, then through the bronchi and trachea, and finally expelled through the nose and mouth.

Compared to chest breathing, abdominal breathing is more beneficial to the human body.

Abdominal breathing has special effects on the physiology of various systems in the human body. It can significantly improve lung capacity, activate alveoli, and also play a good regulatory role in the stomach and intestines.

Abdominal breathing exercises can provide the body with sufficient oxygen, thoroughly awaken and reverse the physiological and biochemical processes of various bodily systems, thereby coordinating energy and spirit, enabling rapid entry into a meditative state, and satisfying the brain's oxygen needs.

When brain function is fully enhanced and developed, a person can maintain abundant energy and improve kidney function.

As Kureha carried her home, swaying back and forth, Moses recalled these words in his mind, finding nothing profound or incomprehensible.

The human body is a treasure trove.

Even the most basic act of breathing, an instinctive use of energy from birth, has potential that can be explored in greater depth.

"In my previous life, this special breathing method could be easily found and obtained. Even if you mastered it, it was just a unique way of maintaining health."

Moses thought to himself, his mind blank, "But in this world with extraordinary power..."

A profound breathing technique can be a special kind of meditation.

A translucent, crystal-blue light screen was projected into the field of vision. Clicking on the [Attributes] section revealed:

Mercer was well aware that he was in excellent health.

Over the past year.

Although she is still unable to engage in physical exercise, her body is growing steadily thanks to natural growth, Kureha's careful "modification," and conscious, instinctive abdominal breathing.

After arriving home.

Kureha casually tossed Messer onto the chair in front of the bookshelf, walked over to the bookshelf, and picked up a book that recorded herbal pharmacology.

Compendium of Materia Medica

He picked up Moses and held the book in his lap, placed it on the desk in front of him, adjusted his posture, opened it to the page with the bookmark, and pointed to the words and pictures on it:

"Black bamboo, also known as purple bamboo, is a sun-loving plant that thrives in warm, humid climates. It is cold-resistant and highly adaptable to different climates. Both its roots and stems can be used medicinally. Snow Ganoderma has stems about an inch tall, white flowers, and blooms profusely in the cold winter."

Mercer's early education consisted of the numerous pharmacology books on the bookshelves in the room.

Or perhaps, some old, discarded newspapers.

Kureha's writing style is easy to understand, and the book also features real-life illustrations, which makes it a "children's" book that Mercer quite enjoys.

A warm indoor environment.

Kureha's voice was particularly gentle, her pronunciation clear and fluent. She taught knowledge and literacy at the same time, and Mercer followed along. But Mercer was still young, and before she knew it, she had fallen into a deep sleep in Kureha's arms.

Before anyone knew it, Kureha had already placed the bookmark, closed the book, and was constantly touching the acupoints on Mercer's body with her index fingers, her eyes slightly closed.

Carefully sensing Mercer's body, exploring Mercer's almost instinctive breathing, his fingers were like the most precise instruments, examining the changes inside Mercer's body caused by breathing.

rustling.

A black pen scribbled on a half-written sheet of paper, interspersed with a detailed hand-drawn diagram of the human anatomy, with delicate lines bearing arrows leaping across the page.

As time passes, the arrow lines on the paper are integrated from the chaos, creating a precise and beautiful closed loop.

"Breathing, deep perception, control, life return, the human body is truly amazing, this little guy is truly a treasure bestowed upon me by God."

Kureha's eyes were burning.

They possess the passion of explorers.

There was a large bed in one corner of the room, and next to it was a small low bed with railings.

Record complete.

She stripped Messer naked and tossed him onto the bed, tucked him in, and Kureha slowly stretched. She glanced at the sky outside and said, "In a while, I'll take this little guy to gather some herbs and let him practice his skills."

As time went by, Moses' knowledge became more and more "profound," and with the increasing amount of knowledge he learned, he often applied what he learned to other situations.

Kureha was both happy and helpless; happy that she had fewer troubles, but helpless that she had fewer troubles.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied.

Occasionally, she would still take Mercer to various towns and villages on the island to treat her illness. The residents were surprised that the "witch" on the island had started taking a child with her, but they dared not say anything.

After all, this guy is a ruthless person who can kick a wall in half. Although he has an eccentric personality, he is also a man of real skill.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

this day.

Garp came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.

However, they did bring another batch of supplies. During the trip, they also inquired about Kureha's health. After Kureha truthfully informed them, Garp breathed a sigh of relief.

That day, the sky outside cleared up after a long time. One-and-a-half-year-old Mercer wore a snow-white furry hat and a pair of suitable polarized sunglasses.

The same sunglasses as Kureha.

Unlike Kureha, who wore a thin, cropped outfit, Messer was completely covered up.

Kureha carried a basket on her back and held Messer's fair little hand in her left hand as she walked through a forest where snowflakes were falling.

"Doctor Doriel, where are we going?" Mercer, who also carried a small basket on his back, asked, "How much longer?"
