In the past, as soon as Ye Jia took a Stamina Pill, he would feel his body burning with an uncomfortable heat. He would be filled with power, a wild and excited urge. This would be followed by continuous releases of abilities, training his Devil Fruit power, and expending the overflowing stamina.
But this time, after Ye Jia took a Stamina Pill, it was like he had simply eaten a chocolate bar; he felt nothing. Instead, he felt a sense of being full.
"The Stamina Pill had no reaction?" Ye Jia trembled slightly. This was good news! If the Stamina Pill had no reaction of overflowing stamina or a body full of energy, it meant his maximum stamina had increased!
If before, Ye Jia's "full bar" of stamina could only release twenty 300 Million Volt lightning bolts at most, now that his stamina was full, the number of releases could be doubled! This was like magic points in a game; increasing magic points could increase the number of times one could cast skills, right? How many Stamina Pills could he save this way?
"Try another one!" Ye Jia took out another Stamina Pill and popped it into his mouth. Still no reaction. He continued with a third, swallowing it whole. Still no reaction.
"This increase in maximum stamina is a bit exaggerated... I've already eaten three Stamina Pills, and I still haven't reached my stamina limit!" Ye Jia was overjoyed. The higher his maximum stamina, not only did he have an advantage in increasing the number of skill releases, but more importantly, Ye Jia could release some "ultimate moves"!
The Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble-Rumble Fruit), without a doubt, definitely included Enel's "Raigo," "El Thor," and "Judgment" — super ultimate moves of incredible power that could destroy a city in an instant!
The Pika Pika no Mi (Glint-Glint Fruit) obviously included Kizaru's "Yata no Kagami," but this move had a wide range, and its damage and accuracy weren't great, which showed that this was not the limit of the Glint-Glint Fruit. There must be even more powerful moves!
"Hahahaha... With this much stamina, who can be my opponent when it comes to unleashing ultimate moves?!" Ye Jia laughed.
What do Devil Fruit abilities consume? Stamina! Especially these ultimate moves, they all relied on having enough stamina to be performed! Why couldn't many Devil Fruit users use ultimate moves right from the start? It was due to stamina limitations. If you started with an ultimate move and didn't kill the enemy, but ran out of stamina yourself, the consequences were obvious! But Ye Jia was different.
His exaggerated maximum stamina brought him infinite possibilities. As long as a battle started, he would immediately unleash "four Aces," hitting hard and asking if you were scared. Not scared? Then I'll throw "four Twos." Are you dead yet? Not dead? Then I'll unleash a "Royal Flush," pulverizing your soul! Still not dead? Good, you're awesome! I'll take a few more hands and blast you randomly. Can you block it?
Ye Jia was in this state now. Anyway, he had enough Stamina Pills to replenish his stamina consumption, so he didn't have to worry about excessive stamina drain at all... Instead, his opponents needed to worry about how many ultimate moves they could withstand without dying!
"Fourth pill."
"Fifth pill."
"Sixth pill!"
"With the sixth pill, I finally felt some overflow of stamina."
Ye Jia continued eating until the sixth Stamina Pill, and only then did his body feel a slight warmth, a sense of excited frenzy.
"Amazing, truly amazing! As expected of the Max Stamina Pill. Its drop rate is so low, it's truly not for show!" Ye Jia exclaimed in admiration. He had only managed to collect one Max Stamina Pill after defeating three executives in a row. But this single pill was worth six regular Stamina Pills! If calculated by the standard quantity of Stamina Pills, Ye Jia's original stamina was only worth one Stamina Pill at most. Adding the six Stamina Pills he just consumed, his stamina standard had reached the state of seven Stamina Pills!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I now have the stamina of seven Stamina Pills in my body. From now on, whenever I'm exhausted, I just need to sleep, and it'll be like I've consumed six Stamina Pills? This way, how many Stamina Pills can I save!" Ye Jia was exceptionally excited. Although Stamina Pills weren't worth much money, Ye Jia had earned them one by one by defeating Sea Kings. Those Sea Kings were massive.
Randomly pummeling them with his fists would always yield enough Stamina Pill fragments to form a few pills. To ensure a continuous supply of Stamina Pills, Ye Jia had caused no small amount of trouble for Sea Kings. Now, with the stamina equivalent to seven Stamina Pills always in his body, it was like saving many Stamina Pills every day. How could he not be happy?
"Ye Jia, are you alright?" Qiu Li, who had been silent all along, saw Ye Jia continuously swallowing Stamina Pills and then bursting into laughter, worrying that Ye Jia had gone mad from eating them. Qiu Li knew the power of Stamina Pills. If he took just one, he could basically train all day, full of stamina, not feeling tired at all, and even continue for over half a day after waking up the next morning. However, Ye Jia had actually swallowed six Stamina Pills in one go. Besides shock, Qiu Li couldn't find any other expression to describe his current mood.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Ye Jia chuckled. "Let's go. Today's a big harvest. It's time to go find Doragon for some bad luck!"
"There's still one executive. Should we kill him?" Qiu Li's finger rested on his katana guard, revealing the sharp blade glinting coldly in its sheath. His gaze was fixed on the dying Barryte.
"Forget it, I'm happy today, so I'll let him off the hook for now!" Ye Jia's eyes flashed. "Besides... I just thought of a good use for him. It's like recycling waste!"
The blade returned to its sheath. Qiu Li didn't ask Ye Jia for the specific reason. He now completely obeyed Ye Jia and looked up to him. Since Ye Jia said to let him go, it must have Ye Jia's own use for him. He just needed to wait and see the final result.
...
Buin Family Castle.
"What?!"
"Tell me again!!"
Doragon, upon hearing the news from the Transponder Snail, felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He slumped onto the sofa, his eyes filled with nothing but astonishment, disbelief, and terror. Just now, the soldiers had sent back news via the Transponder Snail: the five executives the Buin Family was so proud of had all been defeated by that guy from the Death God Pirates! The five core executives of the Buin Family! Representing Bapaistan's greatest combat power... all defeated!
"Where did Dressrosa provoke such a powerful guy?!" Doragon gritted his teeth. At that moment, he wished he could personally kill his own brother! If Dressrosa hadn't made that call to him before his death, these guys from the Death God Pirates wouldn't have targeted him... and the Buin Family wouldn't be in this mess. All five family executives were defeated, leaving an empty shell of the Buin Family. What could they do?
"No... I need to contact Buggy quickly. He's resourceful; he must have a solution!"
"I pay him so much money every year. For money's sake, he wouldn't just abandon me, would he?" Doragon took out a dedicated Transponder Snail from his safe. Only through this Transponder Snail could he contact Buggy.
"It has to connect... it absolutely has to connect!" Doragon sweated profusely, continuously praying.
Finally, with a "kachak," the call connected.
"Busy man, Doragon, calling me... How rare! Fufufufu..." Buggy's characteristic mocking villain's voice came through the Transponder Snail.
