Chapter 231 The Secret of the Iron Army's Power, Xia Li's Prophecy
Similarly, how many swordsmen have trained day and night? However, the strongest swordsman in the world is only Hawkeye Mihawk, who has occupied the throne of the world's number one swordsman for decades. No one can shake his position. Even the Four Emperors Shanks, who lost his arm, is not taken seriously by him.
There are countless examples of this.
Many people say that Lu Kai is a monster, but only he himself knows that he was originally very ordinary. However, Lu Kai's disciples are really talented.
However, no matter how talented a person is or how hard he works, there is a limit. But because of Lu Kai's influence, the efforts of Lu Kai's disciples are beyond imagination. Not only them, but the entire Iron Army is like this.
However, hard work can only determine a person's lower limit, while potential can determine a person's upper limit. This potential includes domineering, physical condition, understanding and other aspects.
However, everyone’s potential has an upper limit, and once a person’s potential is exhausted, it means that he has reached the limit, and his ultimate strength is determined.
But those who follow Lu Kai don’t need to worry about the upper limit of their potential.
Ever since Fu Ya ate the Transfer Fruit, which allowed Lu Kai to exploit the system bug, Lu Kai let everyone who followed him enjoy the feeling of cheating.
Of course, in order to prevent outsiders from noticing the clues, one of the reasons why the Iron Army members are so powerful is because of the medicinal food and Iron Army cuisine.
Even ordinary medicinal food and Iron Army cuisine can subtly improve a person's physique and enhance their potential, but this improvement is actually limited.
The real killer weapon of the Iron Army is that every three months, Fu Ya will lead the Iron Army's medical team to regularly take the pulse, acupuncture and perform physical therapy on all Iron Army members. This is the real trick and has become a routine of the Iron Army.
The acupuncture and physical therapy are really being performed, and do help each person's body a little, but this is just a cover.
After acupuncture and physical therapy, each person needs to take a pill to help recovery, and then Fu Ya will personally take their pulse to determine the effectiveness of the physical therapy. This is the part that really works.
The operation is also very simple. There is a table, two chairs, and a curtain that divides the table into two parts. The curtain cannot be seen through. Sitting on one side are the Iron Army soldiers in line, and on the other side are Fuya and Lu Kai.
Because they had just finished acupuncture and physical therapy, and took medicine to speed up the body's metabolism, everyone's physical condition was very good when their pulse was taken.
It was at this time that Fuya would clear away the fatigue, hidden injuries and all the negative effects that had shackled everyone during training and fighting, and transfer them to Lu Kai without being noticed at all.
When everyone sees that their condition has improved, they all think it is the effect of acupuncture, physical therapy and pills. Who would doubt a simple pulse diagnosis?
This means that no one in the Iron Army has to bear the burden of breaking through their limits. It also means that their potential is unlimited. As long as they work hard, their strength can be improved endlessly.
This is also the ultimate reason why the strength of the Iron Army members can be improved so quickly and the speed of progress is equivalent to taking off.
No one knew about this except Lu Kai and Fu Ya.
Therefore, the external statement is that the people in the Iron Army are carefully selected elites.
The reason why they improved so quickly was due to the combined effect of medicinal diet and Iron Army cuisine, Lu Kai's most accurate guidance, and their own hard work and talent.
The reason why the Iron Army soldiers were allowed to enjoy this benefit but were not allowed to know about it was because we were afraid that someone would leak the secret.
The members of the Iron Army are all unwaveringly loyal to Lu Kai now, and no one will say anything more, but what about the future? Who can guarantee that each of them will remain loyal forever?
Moreover, there are many people in the Iron Army who will be sent out by Lu Kai in the future, that is, they will be assigned to other places, some will go to the Navy Headquarters, and some will go to other branches.
After leaving Lu Kai, will any of these people change due to external influences? No one can guarantee it.
Lu Kai can only guarantee that the vast majority of people will always be loyal to him, but he cannot guarantee that everyone will be so. It is always right to be cautious.
However, Lu Kai still spared no effort to cultivate Zi Tiejun and his own disciples, and placed high hopes on them.
Lu Kai believed Fu Ya's words very much, that individual power was limited and they needed more powerful help.
After entering the Dragon Palace, King Neptune and Princess Otohime set up a sumptuous banquet and invited Jinbe to accompany them.
It must be said that the food in Dragon Palace is indeed unique in flavor. Many of the ingredients cannot be found on the ground at all, so Lu Kai, Xiaolong and Fu Ya ate to their heart's content.
After a hearty meal, Lu Kai expressed his gratitude to the three men, not for the meal, but for Caesar.
Under the guidance of Princess Otohime and Jinbe, Caesar's heart is now clear and his strength has been greatly improved, which makes Luke and others very happy.
After a while of exchanging compliments, Luke's face suddenly became serious, and he said to Neptune: "Sir Neptune, there is one thing you must have known in the past year. Roger, the great pirate on the ground, found a unique great treasure and became the Pirate King.
"What I want to say is that recently, more and more pirates seem to be making moves. There may be some unexpected changes in the future, so I'm afraid you need to improve the defense of the entire Fishman Island."
Luke said this with the intention of repaying his gratitude, but he couldn't say it too bluntly. Should he tell Neptune directly that the Great Pirate Era was about to begin? And in a few months?
"It's actually true?" Neptune suddenly said in shock, and his reaction made Luke feel that it was a bit too much.
So Lu Kai asked tentatively: "Sir Neptune, have you noticed something?"
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any unusual movement at this time, but Neptune's reaction seemed as if he already knew.
“To be honest with you, Lord Luke, there has been a rumor circulating in Fishman Island recently, that is, a lot of pirates will suddenly come to Fishman Island this year, far more than ever before, and the arrival of these pirates will bring great harm to Fishman Island.
"I also sent someone to investigate this rumor, and found out that it actually came from a 5-year-old girl named Xia Li, and she said this last year.
“But no one paid any attention to it at the time, and everyone thought it was just nonsense from a child.
"But over the past year, Xia Li has demonstrated all kinds of miraculous abilities, as if she could really foresee the future. So her words from a year ago spread among people, and many people even believed them."
Upon hearing this, Lu Kai immediately realized that he had actually forgotten about Mrs. Charlie, the future owner of the Fish-Man Cafe.
She was a divine being, with a 100% accuracy rate in her predictions, although most of the things she predicted were unfortunate.
After Neptune explained for a while, he paused and continued, "So I was so surprised when you said you noticed something unusual on the ground. Could it be that what Charlie said was true?"
"My point of view is that it is better to believe it than not to believe it." Lu Kai reminded.
