Capítulo 50: Calm Belt. Battle with sea kings.
"I'm wondering what kind of devil fruit he's eating, a plant-type devil fruit that improves the body and restores strength?"
According to Garp, aren't all plants fragile? Why did John, who ate a plant-type devil fruit, instead gain an improved body and an even stronger recovery speed.
For three days in a row, John practiced again and again, and became more and more relaxed.
"Tsk, this kid is really a monster, Tsuru was right."
Garp couldn't help but praise John's progress: it had only been a few days, and John had gotten the hang of the weights surprisingly quickly, and added swinging and kicking training as needed.
But Garp also noticed that John had two different states - day and night; during the day, especially when there was sun, he was at monster level.
At night, although he was still strong, his condition was much weaker than during the day.
This huge difference left Garp confused, and he ended up agreeing with Dragon that it was a Devil Fruit ability.
After John became accustomed to this kettlebell exercise regimen, Garp again increased the difficulty of John's exercises, and so John trained under Karp's guidance for several days.
After seven or eight days, headquarters finally determined the exact location of Happo's fleet and reported it to Garp via snail phone, causing Garp, who had been relaxing until then, to immediately pick up the pace.
The Happo fleet, led by Dong Qingjiao, was also in the new world and was fighting with White Beard, Roger and other pirate groups, of course, with the strength of the Happo fleet, naturally it could not be their opponent.
But even so, Happo's fleet is not weak, and it is also quite famous in the new world.
"Happo's fleet has appeared in West Blue, we are redirecting to West Blue and we are through the Calm Belt."
Although Happo's fleet was traveling to a new world, their families were actually in the Land of Kano (Flowers), which was located in the West Blue. Happo's fleet, led by Dong Qinjiao, somehow returned to West Blue and was discovered by headquarters.
The warship quickly changed course and headed for the West Blue, only for Garp to allow the ship to cross the Culm Belt, which surprised John.
Having served in the Watch for so long, Jon naturally knew that the Marines had not yet applied kairosecs to warships, and even if the fleet's current warships were self-propelled, they would definitely be attacked by the Sea Lord class if they tried to cross the no-wind zone.
P / p: Self-propelled - it means that it can move independently (without wind). As you remember, there is no wind in the Culm Belt.
"John, do you know why I want to go through the Culm Belt?" Garp asked John with a smirk.
John shook his head, not quite understanding.
Garp laughed, "Of course it's for you to bury your head in the sand (training, without risk to yourself) like you, although it's also effective, but certainly not as good as a real battle. As we travel down the Calm Belt, we are sure to encounter a large number of attacks from the Sea Kings along the way."
Jon's face changed and he exclaimed, "Are you asking me to deal with the Sea Kings?"
"Of course, wahahahahaha, John, I'm so good to you, aren't I, finding you such a good workout." Garp laughed.
Garp laughed joyfully, but Jon was not laughing, it was just a joke, Kalm Belt was the home of the Sea Kings, there are countless Sea Kings there."
The anime may make it seem like people can easily kill the Sea Kings, but in reality it's not that simple.
There are also powerful Sea Kings, not to mention that there are too many of them in Kalm Belt, even the strongest will not be able to withstand their onslaught.
Even a man as strong as Raleigh had nearly fallen prey to kings when he sailed alone across the Culm Belt, and Jon didn't think he could face them alone.
"Vice Admiral Garp, you think too highly of me." John laughed bitterly.
Garp chided him: "You haven't even started yet and you're already retreating? Show some courage, at your age I had to train much more than you."
John said gloomily, "I realize how strong I am, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, training is important, but safety is more important."
"What nonsense, if you boy continue to talk nonsense, I will give you a taste of my iron fist of love."
Garp raised his fist and glared at John, as if to say: one more word and I will beat you to death.
"Nima".
Faced with Garp's threat, John was speechless, he knew that Garp would definitely do this.
After thinking for a while, John decided to fight the Sea King rather than Garp's fist.
Little did he know, this was the beginning of a nightmare.
The days after entering the Calm Belt were a nightmare for John. Twenty-four hours a day, he had only four hours of sleep, the rest of the time he fought the Sea Kings.
Although there were many Sea Kings in the Calm Belt, there really weren't that many. This was due to Garp deliberately firing the cannon, attracting a large number of Sea Kings, and then sending Jon to deal with them.
Many times Jon had to rely on the help of Garp and the others to avoid serious injury, but there were many minor injuries, and if he didn't have a strong recuperation ability, he wouldn't be able to endure.
It took ten days to complete the journey, which could have been completed in three or four days, but leaving the Culm Belt took several times longer.
These were the most exciting days in John's life, although not life-threatening, but also making him very tired, because he was under three tons of weight, fighting with the Sea Kings for his life.
It is easy to destroy ordinary Sea Kings, but 100 meters or more Sea Kings with thick skin and hard flesh made John suffer greatly, and several times only thanks to Garp's iron fist, he was able to defeat these Sea Kings.
Another time, the number of Sea Kings drawn to the ship was so great that they almost sank the ship, and even with the combined strength of Garp and everyone on board, it took a long time to defeat them and save the ship.
Jon had never seen so many Sea Kings before, he was so exhausted that after leaving Calm Belt, his entire body collapsed from exhaustion, even photosynthesis and abundant nutrition could not support him.
"Dad, this is crazy."
Dragon told Garp as he carried the sleeping John to his room and left.
He had witnessed John's training over the past few days, and the faster John adjusted, the more his father, Garp, increased the pressure; even with him he had never trained like this.
Garp had an unusually serious face: "I push him to the limit, this guy is really not my level, Zephyr was right, John is really talented, this will of "observation", even I can't compare with him, it is thanks to this will that he was able keep moving and kill as many Sea Kings."
These days, besides seeing John's willpower and ability to recover, what shocked him the most was that John's willpower of observation was superior to him.
He was also one of the strongest in the world, but he had truly rarely seen such a powerful will of observation like John's, he was afraid that only Roger could match him.
This also made Garp realize that the innate will of observation was even more rare and practical than the innate will of a king.
