Chapter 165 - 165. Basic Strengthening (1/2)
Two days later.
Mace pointed to three people and said to Leo and Shinobu, ”Sir, madam, the three of them are the best among our crew.”
Leo looked at the three infront of him. Two were men and one was a woman.
The two men were called Dali and Flare and woman was called Violet.
Dali and Flare focused on sword while Violet had excellent marksmanship.
Leo said, ”The three of you will be trained by Me, Shinobu and Mace. By the time the trainings over all of you will have the ability of an average vice admiral.”
Dali, Flare and Violet stared when they heard Leo.
Violet couldn't help but say, ”But sir, our potential ain't that great.”
Leo smiled, ”You don't have to worry about that.”
Shinobu came forward and explained, ”Your talent is average but we can go around it as long as you can bear some pain, can you?”
The three of them looked at each other. A flame seems to be burning in their eyes.
If this training can raise their abilities to the level of a vice admiral, what's a little pain?
”Yes, we can, madam!”
The three of them stood straight and shouted, their voice mixed with excitement.
Leo muttered to himself.
”Alright, Mace will teach you the basics of kenbunshoku and busoshoku haki. Shinobu's job will be to strengthen your physique. I will take care of your sword skills. And Violet, since you focus on marksmanship you will need a custom made weapon.”
”Let's start.”
Shinobu walked to them and took out three syringes filled with some kind of blue liquid and injected them with it.
The three of them felt something flow through their arm to their c.h.e.s.t. It stayed there for a moment before spreading out through their body.
At first they only felt a slight itch but soon it felt as if something was crawling through their body. Soon all of them fell on the ground and twitched from time to time.
They felt as if their bodies were being burned.
Mace swallowed when he saw their wretched appearance and asked, ”Ma-madam, what did you do... I mean what's happening?”
Shinobu checked their condition and explained, ”Their talent is average and it will take a long time for them to improve, and even if they improve, it will be negligible. Talent is decided by birth, it won't change as one grow up.”
”So, I am strengthening them from a cellular level. By destroying their base and rebuilding it, their foundation will be more solid. This will change their talent and improve their physique.”
Mace exclaimed, ”This can be done!?”
Shinobu nodded, ”Theoretically, yes.”
Theoretically...
A cold sweat ran down his sideburns.
Thank god, I had enough talent otherwise...
Leo suddenly asked, ”This is enough?”
Shinobu shook her head, ”No. This is just the basic strengthening. There are two more rounds. Only when they have fully assimilated the changes could I move onto the next round. After the next two rounds they would reach their max potential.”
Leo nodded.
The three of them writhed on the ground for two hours before stopping. After that round of torture they didn't even have the strength to speak.
