Chapter 1121 Wu Tian Qi
Luffy actually has little idea about weight. One thousand pounds or ten thousand pounds are not enough to describe the weight of Master Roshi's tortoise shell.
The tortoise shell was made by Master Kame's bare hands. He had forgotten how many tons of steel he had compressed and molded into the shape of a tortoise shell. After it was made, he even painted it green.
Watching TV was too boring at that time, and Master Roshi didn't have many ways to entertain himself, so he could only spend his time crunching iron.
With Luffy accompanying him recently, Master Roshi is not so lonely. Every day, besides talking to the old turtle, he watches his new apprentice try to lift the tortoise shell and put it on his back.
At first, Luffy couldn't lift the tortoise shell with his arms. The weight caused his muscles to tear. He suspected that he would break his bones if he was not careful. If he was hit by the tortoise shell, it would most likely be fatal.
Luffy had no complaints about the tests that Muten-sensei put on him, and apart from trying to lift the turtle shell every day, he just ate and slept.
The meat is all prepared by Master Kame. Although the taste is not up to Sanji's cooking level, the advantage is that the quantity is large and the meat is filling enough to eat every day.
Luffy can recover his physical damage by eating meat quickly every day. After eating, he sleeps on the grass and feels refreshed at dawn.
As the days passed, Luffy's strength continued to grow, and he was gradually able to lift the overweight turtle shell.
On the day when he successfully carried the turtle shell on his back, Luffy excitedly ran to his master to show off, "I did it! I finally did it...ah..."
Because he was too relaxed, Luffy lost his balance and fell heavily in front of Master Roshi.
The turtle shell pressed him under it, almost breaking Luffy's bones and making the Straw Hat Boy unable to move for a while. He was not yet fully familiar with the weight.
Master Roshi held up the tortoise shell with one hand. The tortoise shell in front of him was as if nothing and did not bring any physical burden to the old man. "Good that you can carry it on your back, but that's just the first step. The exercise is still far from enough. You have to carry the tortoise shell with you no matter what you do. You can't take it off when you eat, sleep, or go to the toilet"!
"Okay!" Luffy's loud response was obviously not enough, and Master Roshi patted Luffy's straw hat a few times, asking him to keep going.
If you want to become stronger in a short period of time, you must put in a hundred times more effort than an ordinary person. Master Roshi believes that Luffy can do it. People with a pure heart will not be tempted by external things.
Luffy is just as Master Roshi said, he is only interested in eating and becoming the Pirate King. Women and wealth, these external things, have no effect on him.
He still has some childish habits. He likes to be famous and doesn't want to be looked down upon by adults. He wants to fight the whole world with his own hands. Master Roshi hasn't seen such an energetic young man in a long time.
There was no point in sitting and carrying a turtle shell to eat, so Luffy had to stand and carry a turtle shell to eat meat under the kind guidance of his master.
Luffy had to balance the pressure of bearing his own weight while eating quickly. It was very torturous for him the first time and he spat out the food in his mouth several times.
However, Luffy quickly mastered the trick of balancing weight through his instinct, and his speed of eating meat increased even further, so that the morning's meat was almost consumed by the Straw Hat Boy alone.
Master Roshi watched his apprentice grow from a thin man to a fat man, and couldn't help but sigh at Luffy's appetite, but he was very happy in his heart, because being able to eat means having the capital to become stronger.
A skinny person with a small appetite is destined to achieve little. He cannot quickly restore energy through the cheapest food supplements, and often cannot hold on and becomes a loser when fighting continuously.
Is it because Luffy can eat because of the rubber man, or because he can eat by himself? After he was full, he began to relax his vigilance mentally.
The overweight tortoise shell on his back tilted backwards, and due to the characteristics of the rubber man, Luffy's entire back was widened and elongated, making Luffy look like a weird monster.
Master Roshi did not bother him about the issue of eating. He should now consider going down to the sea and catching more prey, otherwise he would not be able to provide Luffy with meat.
This kid is such a big eater. When Master Roshi was young, he didn't have as much appetite as Luffy. Luffy, who is not even an adult yet, can eat as much as a hundred people recently.
The more energy the training consumes, the more food one eats after training. Food intake is positively correlated with strength, and Luffy can gradually control the tortoise shell on his back.
The weight of the tortoise shell no longer affects his daily life. He carries it on his back when he eats, goes to the toilet, and even sleeps. The tortoise shell has become one with him.
While fighting with his master with the tortoise shell on his back, Luffy's punching speed became noticeably slower, and each punch consumed dozens of times more energy than before. He could no longer punch wantonly.
However, he quickly overcame this difficulty. With the weight of the turtle shell, Luffy began to calculate the consumption of physical strength and took every punch he threw seriously.
Master Kame was very pleased with Luffy's changes, until one day he received a newspaper that Ace was about to be executed. Time did not wait for him to become stronger.
He must go to save Ace, even if he might die in the war at the top, he must go this time, otherwise he will not be able to get over this hurdle in his heart and will regret it for the rest of his life.
Luffy cannot become the martial artist his master envisioned, nor can he become the freest man in the world, the Pirate King. He cannot choose to escape!
Ace's execution is not far away, and Master Roshi can find a means of transportation to send Luffy to the battlefield remotely on the day of the execution.
He still has some time to become stronger. Now Luffy is completely familiar with the weight of the tortoise shell, and it does not interfere with his combat and daily life.
He has already passed the first course prepared for him by Master Roshi, and the next step is to learn real martial arts. But don't underestimate the human body. The so-called limits of human beings are more terrifying than you can imagine.
"Luffy, although you are a fool, you should have some knowledge. Do you know the energy in the human body?"
Qi?! If Luffy had never seen the sky dome and had only been involved in the first half of the Grand Line, he would not have had much experience and knowledge, and he would not have been able to use Observation Haki and Armament Haki.
"Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror Haki, they should all be Qi, and they all feel very powerful"!
His own apprentice is as ignorant as outsiders. Master Roshi patted Luffy's shoulder and told him that Luffy cannot stay with mediocre people for too long, otherwise the mediocrity will be contagious and corrupt the child's innocent heart.
"Let your kid see the world, watch carefully and don't blink"
The muscles all over Master Roshi's body bulged like steel. The white vest that originally fit him well was instantly stretched to a crackling sound, and in the blink of an eye it turned into pieces and scattered everywhere.
A terrifying aura rose madly with him as the center, like a materialized hurricane, and the entire island began to tremble like a frightened beast.
The few remaining trees on the island were forced to fall to the ground by the pressure of this breath, and branches broke with a "crack". On the originally calm beach, sand was swept into the air, forming small sandstorms.
The old turtle basking in the sun on the beach sensed danger and retracted into its shell. It no matter how Master Turtle tossed it around, it had gotten used to it.
The sea water was surging restlessly, huge waves kept rising, and the waves were like roaring beasts, hitting the rocks on the shore fiercely, splashing water all over the sky.
Master Roshi's eyes were wide open, revealing an unprecedented sharpness and domineering look in his eyes. A layer of transparent light surrounded his body, which was the materialization of Qi.
This powerful energy seemed to break through the constraints of heaven and earth, making the entire world submit to it and letting Luffy know the power of the human body.
"This is my Qi!" Master Kame roared, and the sound echoed over the island like thunder.
This energy was like a raging super storm, spreading outward wave after wave, stirring up the surrounding sea. The sea kings passing by were directly knocked unconscious by the energy, causing Luffy to feel an incomparable shock.
So strong! So strong, Mr. Wu Tian is so strong, stronger than Grandpa Garp and Shanks
