Chapter 55

04:00 morning.

Elite marines camp.

Lucas who was lying down on his bed opened his eyes upon hearing the footsteps of the other recruits from the other rooms. It seems that this is a time when everyone wakes up. Even the panda who is happened to be his roommate was trying to fight the urge to sleep again.

'I was just having a good wet dream with that woman ' Lucas frowned as he was half sleepy. He woke up in a bad mood since he isn't in a womanly embrace. Not only so, How he also had to endure the snoring of this roommate. It doesn't matter, it is just a temporary thing. After that, Lucas would have an easy life again.

*Zzz*

Lucas got off his bed, he looked to his roommate, the humanoid panda who went back to sleep, still snoring loudly as always. 'Because of this panda I didn't have good sleep, this is for the last night'

"Wake up lazy ass " Lucas came close to Panda with half sleepy eyes and kicked him flying to the wall, then Lucas yawned and went out of this room. The panda woke up from pain and finally started to wear his costume.

In the camp, the girls and the boys live in separate buildings, also the men and the women's training timing is different. The men would always start earlier.

In a running yard.

Lucas stood half sleepy with another 50-80 recruits, all of them were from different shapes, heights. Some were abnormal like approaching three meters, some were just like normal huge humans above two meters, and of course, there were humans that are normal by the standards of the normal seas.

" Okay, you have to run one thousand laps " In the middle, a training instructor was holding some watch.

Soon, everyone started to run, their speed was kind fast, only those new ones are kept behind, except for Lucas.

"Hey, Blondie, can't you keep up"

"Just stay back short ass, " someone said to Lucas, it was a hobby for those older recruits to mess with the new members, after all, all of them were training in abnormal rate and the new ones would be exhausted if they overestimate themselves, so it was fun to provoke them to keep up with the rest.

'I'm not allowed to hit them I guess, whatever, treat them as children' Lucas found it annoying to talk with those people. So, he just increased his speed. Lucas was still running with half sleepy eyes yet soon, he started to surpass everyone.

"Hey, Look, someone doesn't know what good for him" Someone laughed seeing Lucas was really provoked, he doesn't know what good for him. However, Lucas's speed kept increasing and increasing. At some point, when Lucas woke up fully, he decided to train seriously, so he ran quicker and started to laps over the people who have yet to finish their laps. [Adrenaline boost]. And so, Lucas was running leaving only his shadow behind him, he could do Stealth footwork, but he feared that the instructor won't be able to count so he decided to so normal running.

"Oy, look, he already passed us 10," the one who was running in front said, but then from behind, a yellow blurry figure passed by him" "11 times"

" is he using shave ".

"no, shave is too linear" Everyone tried to increase their speed but it was useless, some tried to cheat and use some technique called shave but they stopped since they have to do more hellish training.

By the time almost finished tenth of their laps, Lucas finished running one thousand laps, as he stopped, Lucas breathed the fresh air and swept few sweat drops from his forehead. "I'm done "

The instructor looked to Lucas like he is a monster, but this world is full of monsters anyway so it wasn't that shocking. "Are you newbie"

"Yes "

"have you been a marine before coming here," the instructor wanted to know more about his abilities.

"no" Lucas replied cracking his bones "Bounty hunter actually "

"I see, you can do the rest of the exercises, 10.000 push up on two fingers, 10.000 squat and jumping…. "

The training instructor said, what Lucas was supposed to do is some 300 push up and not 10.000 push up or those huge numbers, at least not yet.

What the training instructor wanted to do is to check the physical strength of Lucas.

In the training camp, if everyone had a high physical strength from the start or achieved it before the end of their training, then they would be regarded specially and learn Haki.

To learn Haki, physical strength is a must. Learning Haki without enough physical strength is just a waste. Also, Haki training is really painful and requires stamina and pain tolerance which is a feature that achieved by those who have strong physiques. If everyone in the marine had enough physical strength from the start then the headquarter wouldn't hesitate to teach them all.

Lucas here, maybe has what it take to learn it. This way the instructor wants to check before making a report.

And so Lucas did the hellish training sets easily. Well, since Lucas arrived in this world, he started doing extreme training. And given his ironic will,(Adrenaline boost), he was able to break his limits over and over ignoring the pain, and along with the meat from the sea monsters and the secret recipes from the system. His physical body is now even superior to Arlong.

"Okay, recruit, you can go and eat your breakfast then you can attend the classes, " the instructor said. It's not uncommon to see strong people from time to time, the navy would regard them as geniuses and teach them what it can.

And so, the instructor went to make his report. Maybe someone would teach him very soon, they are in no hurry anyway.

"yes instructor " Lucas nodded then he turned to leave, however, this time, the girls were running now.

"She is pretty for sure "Lucas's eyes scanned the girls who were running and his eyes were fixed on Alvida, she was so charming that his heart would beat faster looking at her. He didn't look at her with l.u.s.t or v.i.r.g.i.n eyes, but to appreciate beauty, her skin alone was the smoothest thing he ever saw and yet to touch.

Alvida changed so much that the bounty eyes couldn't relate her to her older version, it didn't even dare to.

'How can someone be this pretty, I'll try to flirt with her later. thinking about charming girls, I wonder how is James's wife, the Supreme being said because I made her pregnant I gained many karma points.. Even though I know the last part is just bullshit…. '

Alvida along with the other girls while running, saw Lucas checking their direction. Alvida had some blush in her cheeks as she saw him looking at her ' aw, Can't resist his eyes, would he hold my hands again, he must, he can't forget his promise…. No no, I shouldn't go this easy on him… But he is cute '. Lucas's heart beat faster when there was some direct eye contact however, some huge fat woman with afro hair ran across them and covered the view.

The other girl with the afro hair saw Lucas looking at her, she smiled back and waved her hand since he looked handsome. Lucas sighed and turned to continue his journey.

After finishing the morning's physicals training, Lucas ate his breakfast, surprisingly, the food of the marines is actually prepared by professional cookers and the taste was good and healthy. Still good, but it is nothing compared to the recipes of the system when it comes to strength the body or the taste.

"Time to go to the class " Lucas then went to study under some retired commander, he has to attend this class once each three days, what he is learning here is some combat moves that are used with pirates or how to attack the sh.i.p.s of pirates and how to make reports and deal with papers..etc.

After that for the rest of the half of the day, Lucas was free to train as he like, he can go to the teachers and ask them for some help if he wants to learn something.

Lucas spent some time in the gym that has giant weights, then after that, he went to a swordsmanship Dojo that was run by a swords master, Lucas decided to train here and get XP for his swordsmanship before using acc.u.mulated XP to level up.

"teacher, Can I spare with you for a bit, " Lucas said when he entered the dojo.

…..

Three Days later.

After Lucas finished the usual training routine, he went to the office of the manager since they send him a summoning order to him.

Apparently, the request that Lucas made to get some training manuals about the human martial arts and some advanced Swordsmanship has been accepted, The devil fruit he paid as the price was more precious so he still has some points to spare later.

Lucas got the manuals with a warning not to disturb it outside. There were two manuals he got. One was a middle-sized book called the six powers of the superhuman martial arts. the other was a thick book about Swordsmanship that was written by a marine sword grandmaster 120 years ago.

Lucas smirked, he held the two manuals. He went to a training ground that was a forest with few beasts living here.

Lucas went to a hidden corner and picked up the manuals.

He held the first manual, it was the advanced swordsmanship book that was written by a grandmaster more than a hundred years ago. Lucas opened the book and started to read. Because of the system, Lucas had unlimited potentials, when he read, he was able to remember the content easily while reading fast.

After two hours, Lucas finished reading the book, the content was rather interesting.

Next Lucas held the other manual. The one about the six powers that are very famous in the navy and word government.
