Ultimate Technique Mode?!
These four words struck the three like thunderbolts!
Zoro's smile instantly turned fervent.
Profound Truth—he was too familiar with these two words!
"What characteristics?" Zoro asked impatiently.
Lin Ning slowly scanned the three, his gaze sharp as a torch.
"Ultimate Technique Mode will generate completely different characteristics based on each person's cultivation traits!"
"It will maximize your potential, allowing you to enter a battle state beyond your limits!"
As soon as his voice fell, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then—
"That's amazing!"
Luffy was the first to jump up, his eyes burning with intense flames!
"Lin Ning! Teach me quickly! I can't wait to unleash the Profound Truth of the Body Tempering Technique!"
Sanji lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and a smile played on his lips: "It sounds really interesting..."
Zoro gripped his sword hilt, his face full of Battle Intent as he said: "No matter what Ultimate Technique Mode it is, I will use it to become stronger!"
Lin Ning smiled faintly, his gaze turning to the extremely excited Luffy.
"That's good, Luffy, you go first!"
Under Lin Ning's personal guidance, the advanced Body Tempering Technique cultivation of Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji officially began!
...The vast blue sea stretched endlessly, white clouds drifted leisurely, and a gentle breeze stirred shimmering waves.
The going merry sailed slowly over the ocean, its wooden deck gleaming with a warm luster under the sun.
On the deck, the Straw Hat crew was diligently cultivating the Body Tempering Technique.
Over the past two weeks, everyone had been immersed in intense cultivation.
Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, who had already reached a Bottleneck, experienced another leap in strength after mastering the advanced Body Tempering Technique!
They felt an unprecedented Breakthrough; the exhilaration of becoming stronger made them even more addicted.
And Nami, Usopp, Robin, and Chopper finally truly experienced the charm of the Body Tempering Technique—
Within just a few days, their strength, speed, and reaction capabilities all significantly improved!
The stimulation of positive feedback made them more disciplined than ever, unable to extricate themselves from daily cultivation!
—In such a cultivation atmosphere, time quietly flowed by.
However, Usopp's sudden shout broke the silence!
"Everyone, island ahead!"
At the highest point of the going merry, Usopp stood on the lookout.
His eyes wide, he stared at the distant horizon.
He saw an island covered with dense jungle, quietly standing on the sea.
The thick trees on the island swayed in the wind, like a primeval forest.
Cliffs and waterfalls could vaguely be seen.
Hearing this, everyone who was cultivating immediately stopped.
"An island?"
Nami quickly got up, picked up her monocular telescope, and looked into the distance.
A moment later, she put down the telescope, frowning slightly: "It looks like an uninhabited island... But we'll have to go ashore to see the specifics."
"An uninhabited island? That's great!"
Luffy's eyes lit up; he jumped up excitedly, raising his hands high and shouting loudly: "Prepare to drop anchor! We're landing!!!"
The atmosphere on the deck immediately became lively.
Sanji lit a cigarette, looked at the island, and said: "Well then, I'll leave it to everyone to find some ingredients."
A hint of helplessness appeared on his face: "The ingredients on the ship are running low."
At this moment, Nami suddenly remembered something, her expression slightly changed, and she quickly reminded: "Listen up! This time, when looking for ingredients, exclude rats and frogs!!!"
Zoro rolled his eyes at the remark, muttering impatiently: "I can't stand you capricious women. Doesn't it all turn into meat once it's in your stomach..."
The next second—
"Bang!!"
Nami's fist landed heavily on Zoro's head!
"Damn Zoro! What did you just say?!
If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"
"Hiss... Ouch, ouch, ouch!!" Zoro clutched the large lump on his head, looking helpless, "I was just saying..."
Seeing this, everyone on the ship couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere immediately lightened up.
Golden sunlight spilled onto the beach, and a gentle breeze swept across the clear blue sea.
White waves gently lapped the shore, making a 'whoosh' sound.
On this tranquil beach, the Straw Hat crew was busily preparing a sumptuous island feast!
Soon, the hunting party returned fully loaded!
From afar, Luffy's excited shouts could be heard:
"Hey! Sanji! We found lots of fish, and a huge pile of fruit!"
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, Lin Ning and Zoro each dragged a massive wild ox.
Behind them followed the excited crew, carrying various ingredients, heading towards the large bonfire on the shore.
Zoro dragged the wild ox, his eyes shining, a slight smile on his lips: "This wild ox looks delicious! The meat must be very firm!"
Lin Ning nodded: "Recently, cultivating the advanced Body Tempering Technique, our bodies need massive energy replenishment.
Eating sea beasts every day has long become tiresome; this time, switching to some land game is a good way to improve our meals!"
Sanji looked at the mountain of ingredients, a surprised smile on his face, then nodded and said: "Good work! Since there are so many good things, I'll have to cook seriously and let everyone eat to their heart's content!"
—A moment later, the grand meal was finally ready!
The bonfire blazed, fragrant aromas wafted, and the air was filled with the greasy scent of roasted meat.
The delicious smell of grilled fish, and the sweet aroma emanating from the fruits.
"Cheers!!!"
Everyone sat cross-legged on the beach, raised Sanji's special refreshing drinks, clinked glasses in celebration, and shouted excitedly.
"Let's eat!!!"
"Woah ah ah ah—It's so delicious!!"
Luffy unhesitatingly grabbed a large piece of roasted meat, shoved it into his mouth, and shouted indistinctly while chewing.
Sanji, holding a cigarette helplessly, looked up at him: "Hey, Luffy, don't eat so fast, there's still plenty of meat!"
Usopp, holding his stomach nearby, looked at Luffy with a horrified expression:
"You just ate a bunch of random stuff, and now you can still keep eating?!"
"I'm still far from full!"
Luffy waved his hand nonchalantly and continued to devour his food.
Zoro swallowed the meat in his hand in two or three bites, nodding in agreement: "Indeed, with such intense cultivation recently, I always feel like my appetite is getting bigger and bigger..."
Lin Ning smiled, casually tore off a piece of beef, and slowly said: "This is a normal phenomenon; as strength grows, the consumption of muscle and physical energy will become astonishing, and energy replenishment is essential.
Recently, we should eat to our heart's content. Eat freely; the more you eat, the faster your strength will improve!"
Hearing this, Luffy's eyes instantly lit up, and the next second he plunged back into the embrace of food!
Sanji's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the mountain of ingredients.
They were almost swept clean in an instant, and he couldn't help but sigh, holding his forehead: "Damn... Your appetites, you monsters, are truly exaggerated!!!"
However, as a top chef, his pride would never allow his companions to go hungry!
