Chapter 06: Unlimited Cultivation Potential!
If the Devil Fruit provided the power Ye Jia needed most, the existence of the Stamina Pill brought infinite possibilities to his strength!
The Glint-Glint Fruit itself was a long-range consumption-type fruit. Ye Jia remembered very clearly that during the Paramount War, Kizaru used his ultimate move, the "Yasakani no Magatama," in an attempt to kill Luffy.
Those sky-filling fragments of light fell like rain, covering the heavens and the earth. It was simply an incredibly terrifying super weapon!
When he developed that move, wouldn't fighting the Four Emperors on equal footing be a breeze?
Moreover, his potential was more than just this!
Now he had the Glint-Glint Fruit, but what fruits would he encounter in the future?
If he developed those fruits to their maximum and unleashed countless ultimate moves at once... that scene would be absolutely magnificent!
"Again!"
Ye Jia continued to roam through the jungle, searching for wild beasts.
There weren't many people on Mt. Colubo, but there were plenty of beasts.
Before long, Ye Jia encountered another dinosaur.
He raised his hand directly, and a laser beam shot out with a whoosh.
The dinosaur let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground on the spot.
Ye Jia pounced on it and rained down punches wildly!
With the speed boost from the Glint-Glint Fruit, Ye Jia could throw hundreds of punches in a single second, completely catching up to the Pegasus Meteor Fist!
Such punching speed naturally brought significant rewards.
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Stamina Pill' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Stamina Pill' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Stamina Pill' fragment!"
"..."
Sweet electronic mechanical female voices rang out in Ye Jia's mind one after another. Every time they appeared, it was like giving Ye Jia a shot of stimulant, making him beat the beast tirelessly.
Only after the dinosaur was beaten to death did the sound completely stop ringing.
"Let's see how many Stamina Pill fragments I have now!"
Ye Jia looked excitedly at the synthesis recipe.
Stamina Pill (75/30)
"Woohoo! More than last time! I can synthesize two!"
Ye Jia directly chose to synthesize.
The seven-colored progress bar ran rapidly twice. The cauldron lid lifted, and two fresh Stamina Pills appeared in his mind.
"By the way, can the Stamina Pills be brought out as physical objects?"
Ye Jia acted on his thought, attempting to materialize the Stamina Pills from his mind.
With a thought, almost instantly, two dark gold Stamina Pills, about the size of a thumb, appeared in his palm.
"Let's eat one and taste it."
Ye Jia threw a Stamina Pill into his mouth.
It tasted sweet, like chocolate, and crunched when bitten.
Suddenly, a wave of heat rose from within Ye Jia's body.
"Phew! Hot, so hot! I feel like my whole body is filled with power!"
Ye Jia felt his whole body burning up, his strength so full it was about to overflow.
He immediately raised his hand and shot out two laser beams, causing violent explosions.
"Two laser beams didn't even use up the energy! Let's try light-speed movement!"
Ye Jia used the excess stamina he couldn't finish to start shuttling frantically through the jungle.
Although the Glint-Glint Fruit's movement ability was light speed, initially, he could only dash about a hundred meters in a second.
But this was already incredibly powerful for Ye Jia.
A hundred meters per second meant crossing hundreds of meters in a single breath. With just this speed, Ye Jia could protect himself and save his life under the attack of any beast!
After moving at light speed for nearly a minute, Ye Jia finally felt the heat in his body subside.
"Divine artifact! Truly a divine artifact!"
Feeling the potency of the Stamina Pill, Ye Jia was both excited and thrilled.
If he encountered enemies in the future, he could charge straight in and fight. After all, he had more stamina than he could use!
The most critical point was that Ye Jia could use this for rapid cultivation!
What did cultivation consume?
Stamina!
What did the Stamina Pill replenish?
Stamina!
The two complemented each other. As one went out, the other came in. As long as Ye Jia wanted to, he could basically cultivate infinitely... using the Glint-Glint Fruit ability for the entire process!
With such a cultivation method, who in the entire One Piece world could do this?
In One Piece, Luffy trained for two years and became extremely tough. With his abilities fully unleashed, he could even fight Doflamingo. Instakilling a Vice Admiral was definitely no problem... If I cultivate this way for two years, I will definitely be stronger than Luffy... At that time, would even an Admiral be my match?
One could imagine just how terrifying Ye Jia's progress in strength would be as long as he had enough Stamina Pills.
"However, I don't have the leisure to cultivate in a boring place for two years. If I'm going to cultivate, I'll do it on the Grand Line, in the New World!"
"I'll develop the basic abilities of the Glint-Glint Fruit first. After raising my strength, I'll set off immediately!"
"Alright, next, let's increase speed. Light-speed movement, go!"
...
Next, until nightfall, Ye Jia constantly shuttled through the jungle of Mt. Colubo.
Whenever he encountered a beast, without a second word, he raised his hand and fired a laser beam.
Of course, Ye Jia wouldn't aim for their vitals. He just needed to disable these beasts and make them lose the power to resist so he could beat them up at will.
One by one, beasts died at Ye Jia's hands, and the sweet electronic mechanical female voice rang out in Ye Jia's mind repeatedly.
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Stamina Pill' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Stamina Pill' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Stamina Pill' fragment!"
"..."
The voice looped endlessly in Ye Jia's mind; he didn't know how many times it had appeared.
Ye Jia couldn't be bothered to count exactly how many Stamina Pills he had gathered.
Whenever he felt fatigued and couldn't use the laser beam or light-speed movement, he would immediately synthesize one and eat it.
"Stamina Pill fragments (1256/30)"
At night, seeing the sky turn dark and having been tired all day, Ye Jia simply gave up on continuing his cultivation and fighting. He synthesized all the Stamina Pills in one go.
Fortunately, Ye Jia's "brain capacity" was large enough. More than forty Stamina Pills floated quietly above the giant cauldron as if they weighed nothing.
Ye Jia didn't have to worry about going hungry either.
The mountains and plains were full of "food." When hungry, he could just take down a beast casually. Once roasted, it was ready to eat!
It had to be said that the One Piece world was different from Earth. Even without added seasoning, the roasted meat smelled fragrant and tasted incredibly delicious.
"No wonder Luffy is so obsessed with meat. Now even I feel like I'm becoming a foodie."
Ye Jia ate an entire dinosaur's worth of meat!
If this were on Earth, it would be impossible, but here, the impossible became possible.
"My strength increased a lot today. I'll sleep first and continue cultivating tomorrow!"
Lying on the ground, using a bone as a pillow and leaves as a blanket, Ye Jia fell sound asleep just like that.
