Chương 218: 217 Surpass Your Limits!
The crew concluded a day of training and eagerly dug into their dinner.
"Damn it, Can't believe nobody's slacking off. This is just not right!"
Edward Weevil kept cursing while eating.
Frustrated that he couldn't catch anyone slacking off all day, Edward Weevil felt a bit disheartened.
Whitebeard had a large appetite, easily consuming around ten times the amount of an average person.
Whitebeard devoured his meals quickly, with a continuous flow of food making its way into his mouth.
Having finished his meal, Whitebeard approached the training area where Marco and the others were still diligently doing their weight training.
"Hey, Oyaji, when's this gonna end?"
Marco asked as soon as he spotted Whitebeard approaching.
Charles Vane and the others exchanged pleading glances. After a day of training, Vane fully grasped the severity of what it meant to be trained by Whitebeard.
Even though these are the most basic physical training, even these weights are nothing to him at the beginning.
But one day continued training, without a break, even Jozu felt truly exhausted.
Jozu was so exhausted, not to mention the others, they were all sweating.
All the clothes on their bodies were soaked, and not only that, but the reason why they were able to hold on was entirely because the muscles had formed a kind of memory.
After a day of repetitive movements, their muscles have completely formed a pattern.
Almost like second nature, their bodies could carry out these actions almost automatically, requiring little conscious effort.
Yet, they understand that if they intentionally try to control or abruptly halt these movements, they might lose their support and collapse instantly.
Whitebeard scanned each of them and shook his head in disbelief.
"It's not possible right now; you must keep going"
Whitebeard declared. This statement hit them like a sudden storm, casting a gloom over their face.
They all saw Whitebeard coming, thinking that he was here to announce the end of training.
But they didn't expect Whitebeard to let them continue, and now they're at their breaking point.
While their levels of weight are different, the differences among them aren't significant.
It was as if they had seen an oasis in the desert, and after finally reaching it, they were told that it was a mirage.
Next, Whitebeard stood beside them, personally observing their training.
With Whitebeard present, an unseen pressure weighed on everyone's mind.
Despite reaching their limits, they strained to avoid collapsing in front of Whitebeard.
To avoid being the first to fall, everyone felt the pressure, pushing themselves to endure.
After about another half hour, Vista's body was pushed to the absolute limit and collapse on the deck
He couldn't control himself completely, and suddenly fell out of strength during training, which surprised Marco and others.
"Don't lose focus, keep going!"
Whitebeard immediately urged in a low voice upon witnessing this.
Everyone gritted their teeth, persevering as their bodies trembled, on the brink of collapsing at any moment.
In front of Whitebeard, they displayed strong determination and persisted relentlessly.
But even so, each second now feels like an hour to them,, and they have to pay huge willpower and strength to hold on for one more second.
Finally, Charles Vane couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed five minutes after Vista.
Whitebeard instructed Vista and Charles Vane to take a break, leaving only Marco and Jozu.
Under normal circumstances, Jozu should be the one to endure until the end, given his remarkable endurance.
However, after some time, Jozu was the first to fall, followed by Marco.
If Marco hadn't tenaciously persevered at that crucial moment, he would have fallen long ago.
But his strong willpower compelled him to resist falling before Jozu, after all, as the first captain.
Having promised Whitebeard that he wouldn't disappoint, Marco was determined to keep his word and gave it his all.
So, Marco persevered, relying solely on his unwavering determination.
As soon as Jozu fell, Marco, with a sigh, succumbed and collapsed as well.
"Help them rest"
Whitebeard immediately ordered, a relieved expression on his face.
Whitebeard intentionally stood there to apply pressure. The more they pushed themselves to the limit, the greater the training gains.
The aim of training is to consistently surpass your own limits; even holding on for a second it still counts as a breakthrough.
Whitebeard was pleased with their recent performance, as each of them gave their best effort.
After witnessing Marco and their training, the rest of the division commander and crew felt extremely fortunate.
They felt lucky since they didn't have to endure such harsh training.
"I...am I still alive? That was tough."
After a few minutes of rest, Vista found the strength to speak.
"I feel like my body's not my own anymore"
Charles Vane said, lying still on the bed.
"Hey, it's like my muscles have been paralyzed. Have you ever trained like this?"
Jozu asked with frustration.
"It was fine before, but Oyaji arranged this for us after you returned. I think it'll be the same tomorrow"
Marco explained.
Four people are in the same room, and there's no one else around.
"I'll have to continue tomorrow, but my body won't be able to take it"
Jozu said with a sudden sense of fear, more terrifying than any battle.
"Yeah, considering today's intensity, our muscles will surely ache tomorrow. Will you be able to endure it then?"
Charles Vane added with a sense of concern.
"The thing is, I'm not sure if it's really effective for our improvement. It doesn't seem to enhance our combat skills"
Vista expressed his doubts.
Having received guidance from Red-Haired before, it was mostly about Haki and swordsmanship—real practical knowledge.
But now, he hasn't mastered those skills and doesn't even have time to practice. Instead, he has to endure this kind of training.
"Don't question it; just follow what our Oyaji says. This is only the first stage"
Marco said, trying to prevent further complaints.
At that moment, Whitebeard pushed the door open, and they imidietly sat up on the bed.
"Oyaji."
The four of them shouted at the same time.
"Well, you guys did well today. Rest up early and be up early tomorrow"
Whitebeard nodded and told them.
"I got it, Oyaji"
Marco replied quickly, and the others exchanged glances, agreeing with him.
