One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 39: Adapting to Thunder Bagua in Advance
Uncover the treasures of the human body and enhance physical strength.

This is exactly what Xia Nuo wants most at the moment. Hesitating for a second would be disrespectful to his body, so he added it to the shopping cart directly.

As for this last item...

【Pete Griffin's jeans】

[Type: Equipment]

[Price: 500 points]

[Description: After wearing it, your intelligence will be slightly reduced, and there is a chance that your hatred value in the eyes of others will increase.]

[Seller's Note: Also suitable for large stomach bags]

The effect of this thing is quite interesting, but the cost-effectiveness is not high. Xia Nuo thought about it for a while, shook his head, and still felt that there was no need to waste points on such things.

Submit the shopping cart and checkout.

This time, I got quite a lot of props, four in total, which cost a total of 3500 points.

The remaining points are 39525, which is still quite sufficient.

……

After closing the trading market, Xia Nuo opened the backpack and took out the black training suit with adjustable weight.

The default initial setting is the lowest 1KG, which is similar to ordinary strength clothing.

It fits the body perfectly, has high toughness and elasticity, and is also quite breathable.

He felt very comfortable, and after simply moving his arms and legs, he immediately began to try to adjust the weight.

"It's better to be cautious and take it slow at the beginning. Let's try 250kg first..."

Boom!
With a muffled sound, the pressure on his body suddenly increased. Xia Nuo's body sank slightly for a moment, and then he stood firm again as if nothing had happened.

I did a set of push-ups while standing on my head, jogged around the garden, and did a few "shaving" back and forth between a few wooden stakes.

The landing point is still accurate, but the speed is slightly slower.

"Not enough, far from enough."

Xia Nuo shook his head. The 250kg weight might be a bit stressful for him before going out to sea.

But for him now, he can adapt quickly and it won't have much effect.

Continue to increase it little by little.

300, 350... until it reaches 500KG.

Shanuo finally felt the stagnation that made every move require a lot of energy, as if he was walking in thick liquid.

But not so much that the muscles cannot bear it.

It can be said that a perfect balance has been found.

“Let’s decide on this number for now.”

Shanuo is very satisfied with the current results.

After a while, when you have completely adapted to this pressure and can treat it as nothing during training, you can start to increase the weight further.

He opened the secret book of "Copper Head" again.

After a quick look, he thought for a while and decided to start practicing with the iron block.

Both are physical techniques for strengthening the body, and they have similarities and compatibility. When practicing together, there is no need to worry about conflicts or delays.

However, from the perspective of practice methods, there are some essential differences between the two.

The name "Bronze Head" may seem simple, but the "Blood and Flesh Furnace Method" to which it belongs is a serious internal strength secret book.

It focuses more on understanding and skills. While training the body at a high intensity, one must also constantly delve into and comprehend the mysteries of it in order to truly master it.

As for the "iron block".

In comparison, it is completely external skills, and the practice method is simpler and more crude.

As the only defensive skill among the six styles, its principle is to control the blood flow rate and concentrate blood to the muscles to increase hardness.

To achieve this, in addition to continuously increasing muscle strength through various daily physical training.

The core content is actually special training for resistance to blows! In layman's terms, it is to use various hard instruments to continuously beat the flesh, gradually improving the ability to resist blows.

When the Navy and CP departments train in this activity, they are divided into groups of two, hitting each other with wooden sticks. When you get tired, it's my turn, and the process repeats over and over again.

In other words, if you want to ensure the efficiency of Iron Block's training, you can't do it alone, you must have a sparring partner.

Fortunately, Xia Nuo is not short of people around him now.

The processing workshop will not open until next year. At present, the refugees he brought here only have to deal with matters in the orange orchard, so they are relatively free.

You can pick a few young and strong ones every day to accompany you in practicing iron blocks.

He doesn't like to put things off until tomorrow. Once he makes a decision, he won't delay.

So, after practicing "Copper Head" for the whole morning, it was time for "Iron Block" in the afternoon.

——Manba and the "fat bandit" who was punched into a tree by him were dragged to the training ground. Each of them held a hardwood stick in their hands and looked at Shanuo nervously.

"Sir, let me confirm again, am I hearing correctly?"

Manba looked at the stick in his hand and swallowed, "Do you really want me to hit you five hundred times with all my strength?"

"Well, let's start with the back, but it's more than 500. That's just the first round. I'm just worried you'll get tired and lose your strength."

Xia Nuo stretched his back muscles and ordered, "After 500 strokes, Fatty Bull will take over. You rest on the side until Fatty Bull gets tired, and then you can take over."

Fat Bull was the name of the "fat bandit," a somewhat foolish individual. He nodded hurriedly upon hearing this: "Okay! Got it, Boss!"

"But……"

Manba was still hesitating.

Only after Xia Nuo turned his head and glared at him did he finally not dare to delay, and clenched the hardwood stick and suddenly hit Xia Nuo's back.

Xia Nuo had already taken a firm stance, calmed his mind, and followed the tips mentioned in the Iron Block Secret Book to speed up the blood flow in his back muscles as much as possible, waiting for the attack to come.

With a dull thud, Manba's knuckles felt numb from the shock. He suddenly felt uneasy, wondering if he had used too much force.
"Ok?"

Xia Nuo turned around, looking dissatisfied. "I told you to use all your strength, why are you holding back? I'm tickling you, but you don't feel anything!"

Manba gritted his teeth and finally used all his strength this time, smashing down fiercely. Seeing that Xia Nuo didn't look back, he immediately followed with another stick, and then another one -

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The dull sound like a war drum continued in the orange grove, but it did not last long. After swinging about twenty or thirty times, the hardwood stick suddenly made a crisp sound and broke into several pieces.

"what?"

Manba raised the wooden stick in his hand, which had only half of it left, and was stunned.

This was the wood he brought from the Korpo Mountains. It was the hardest wood found in the entire mountain range!
It only lasted for such a short time before it broke into pieces?
Xia Nuo also sighed, turned around, and looked at the debris on the ground with a headache.

His current muscle strength is indeed very high, and beating his body with a wooden stick is unlikely to have much effect.

"Throw away the stick."

Xia Nuo turned his gaze to Fatty Bull and said, "Try it with your mace."

"what?"

Even someone as dumb as Fatty Bull was stunned. Man Scar couldn't help but say, "Sir, Fatty Bull's mace weighs sixty to seventy kilograms. It's a serious combat weapon."

"It's okay, I like this weapon."

Xia Nuo stared at the large mace that was almost as tall as him and grinned, "Just think of it as getting used to the Thunder Bagua in advance."

"Okay, but... you need to blunt the sharp parts, right?"

Manba asked hesitantly again.

There are many spikes on Fat Bull's mace. If it is not modified, one or two hits will be fine, but if it is hammered down hundreds of times in a round, it will be pierced into a sieve.

Xia Nuo nodded, this suggestion was reasonable.

After a moment, the spike transformation was completed.

Manba and Fat Bull took turns to fight, like blacksmiths forging weapons, constantly swinging their maces and hitting Shanuo's back.

Xia Nuo had a blank expression on his face, his eyes fixed straight ahead. Occasionally, when he couldn't bear it anymore, he would grimace, but he would quickly endure it.

Does it hurt? Of course it hurts, but if you can't even handle this little bit of pain, how can you become stronger quickly?
There was an almost crazy expectation in his eyes. That's it! That's how it has to be!

——With the help of the statue and the training suit, you continue to train your body with high intensity, day after day. When the "iron block" and the "copper head" are fully trained, what level will your physical strength reach?
