Chapter 05: Divine Item: Stamina Pill
After Ye Jia dealt with the hooligans, Foosha Village returned to its former peace.
Ye Jia's fame thoroughly spread through this one battle.
Since then, whenever the people of Foosha Village saw Ye Jia, they would greet him enthusiastically.
The villagers who had taken revenge on the hooligans even came to his door to thank him.
Behind Foosha Village was Mt. Colubo, which was filled with a large number of ferocious beasts. Hunters often frequented Mt. Colubo, but they had to be extremely careful; one slip-up and they could become a meal for the beasts.
"First move, Laser Beam!"
Ye Jia began his training. He tried to mobilize his power to gather at his fingertips, making a "finger gun" gesture, and then released it.
Bzzt bzzt bzzt—
As soon as the power was mobilized, a yellow flash immediately appeared, gathering towards Ye Jia's fingertips as if being absorbed.
"Fire!"
With a movement of Ye Jia's finger, a yellow beam of light shot out directly!
However, because it was his first experiment and he hadn't mastered it well, this Laser Beam only penetrated a large tree before vanishing without a trace. It couldn't shoot far into the distance like in the anime at all.
"Even the first attempt could penetrate a large tree, the power... Logia fruits are indeed formidable!"
But even this current power was enough to surprise Ye Jia.
He trained several times in succession using this method. The power increased with each attempt, finally reaching a range of ten meters and penetrating two large trees!
"So tired."
The power of the Logia fruit was indeed strong, but it also consumed a lot of stamina.
After using the Laser Beam barely ten times, Ye Jia's forehead was sweating, and he felt a bit weak.
"No wonder those ability users continue to train even after their abilities become strong. Their bodies are tougher than the last. It turns out it's to support the stamina consumption."
Since others trained, Ye Jia naturally had to train as well.
It just so happened that he needed to attack living objects to obtain fragments.
He was currently too weak. It would be best to obtain more Stamina Pill fragments and gather enough for a Stamina Pill. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of stamina during a fight to the death and being left at the mercy of others.
Immediately, Ye Jia began searching the mountains and plains for wild beasts.
Usually, he would avoid ferocious beasts, only daring to deal with one or two strays like the large wild boar if he was lucky.
But now that he had the Glint-Glint Fruit ability, Ye Jia wished he could encounter a few more beasts... Anyway, dealing with these beasts only required lifting a finger and firing a quick "shot." A Laser Beam was enough to easily handle them!
"Found one!"
Ye Jia hadn't been running for long when he immediately encountered a dinosaur sprinting through the jungle.
This dinosaur was at least eight meters tall. The ground trembled as it ran, and its massive body could easily snap trees with a casual collision.
"Good, it's you!"
Ye Jia aimed at the dinosaur, yellow light beginning to emerge from his fingertips.
The next second, Ye Jia raised his palm.
Pew!
The Laser Beam shot out, directly piercing through the dinosaur's spine and exiting through its chest!
"Haha, a big guy like a dinosaur is easy to hit. If it were other beasts, it probably wouldn't be so easy!"
Ye Jia had never touched a gun before, so his accuracy naturally wasn't great, but the dinosaur was big enough that it was no problem at all!
Boom!
The dinosaur, struck by the penetrating Laser Beam, had a bloody hole appear in its chest. It collapsed on the spot, its massive body crashing to the ground and kicking up a lot of dust.
"I knew it. Beasts have tenacious vitality; they don't die that easily!"
Although the dinosaur had fallen, Ye Jia realized it wasn't dead at all and was struggling to stand up.
"I only get fragments by attacking living objects. If it dies, where will I collect fragments?"
Ye Jia pounced, riding directly on the dinosaur's body. Then, his fists rained down on the dinosaur.
The dinosaur naturally noticed Ye Jia immediately and roared, trying to stand up and throw him off. However, the Laser Beam had pierced its lung, causing unbearable pain and making it impossible to exert its original strength.
Coupled with Ye Jia's fists constantly landing on its body, beating it severely, under this two-pronged attack, the dinosaur could only howl miserably.
"Huh? My strength seems to have increased! The world of One Piece is indeed different. I've only been here for three months, and my physique has become so sturdy. I couldn't do this on Earth. Now that I've just started training my ability, my strength has invisibly increased again. It seems as long as I keep training and consuming energy, I can continuously become stronger!"
Thinking of this, Ye Jia couldn't contain his excitement and continued to beat the dinosaur wildly.
In the world of One Piece, there were many strong individuals among those who consumed Devil Fruits.
But there were also many strong individuals who relied purely on training without consuming Devil Fruits.
For example, Red Hair, Hawkeye, and others were the most typical examples.
This showed that in the world of One Piece, the amplification of human strength was much faster than on Earth... At least on Earth, there were absolutely no existences like Red Hair or Hawkeye.
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Stamina Pill' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Stamina Pill' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Stamina Pill' fragment!"
"..."
Ye Jia kept punching, and the notification in his head would ring every dozen punches or so.
By the time Ye Jia beat the dinosaur to death, he had collected quite a few Stamina Pill fragments.
"Dead? How boring!"
Seeing the dinosaur was dead, Ye Jia explored his mind. "Do I have enough Stamina Pill fragments?"
"Stamina Pill: Can bring full stamina (42/30)"
"I can synthesize a Stamina Pill! Quick, System, synthesize it for me!"
Ye Jia gave the order, and immediately, the lid of the seven-colored cauldron crashed open!
Thirty Stamina Pill fragments were placed into the huge cauldron, and the seven-colored progress bar ran rapidly.
About five seconds later.
"Congratulations, successfully synthesized 'Stamina Pill'!"
The lid flew off, and a steaming Stamina Pill emerged.
With a dark gold exterior, it looked just like a common herbal pill, not appetizing at all.
"Perfect timing. Dealing with a dinosaur consumed a lot of my stamina. Let's eat one and see!"
Ye Jia directly clicked to use it.
The Stamina Pill disappeared. Ye Jia only felt a heat rise within his body, and then all the soreness and fatigue were swept away. He was filled with strength and high spirits, feeling as if he had just had a sweet sleep and was full of energy!
"Let's try a shot!"
Ye Jia raised his hand and fired a Laser Beam. The beam quickly penetrated two large trees. When it reached the third large tree, it suddenly exploded, blasting the tree directly in half!
"Woohoo! Awesome! The Stamina Pill is simply a divine item! Hahaha!"
Ye Jia was incredibly excited.
