The vast deck fell into a strange silence.
The eyes of everyone turned in unison and locked onto the cabin door.
They desperately wanted to know what the second phase of training that Kai had prepared was.
Squeak! The tightly closed cabin door was pushed open in response.
Bepo's figure, which had obviously lost a circle of weight, appeared in everyone's pupils again.
However, the scene that entered their eyes made their pupils contract suddenly.
"Instructor, isn't this the incomplete Seastone handcuffs? Why did you take them out?" Luffy couldn't help but ask first.
As these words fell, everyone's nerves were pried open, and their eyes locked onto Kai in unison.
If they hadn't remembered incorrectly, these Seastone handcuffs had been obtained not long ago on the Sabaody Archipelago.
"That's right, this is Seastone." Kai patted the dust off his body and suddenly stood up.
"It's also the second phase of training for you three Devil Fruit ability users."
Using Seastone to train Devil Fruit ability users was simply a fantasy for outsiders.
However, as a reincarnator, Kai clearly remembered.
In the original work, Luffy and Kid had been imprisoned in the Udon mine in Wano Country and were wearing Seastone handcuffs.
They were still able to fight and compete in strength.
In the end, Kid, who had been imprisoned for a long time, was even able to sneak out of Udon from under the noses of many artificial Devil Fruit ability users while wearing Seastone handcuffs.
This was enough to show that Seastone had a restraining effect on Devil Fruit ability users.
However, this restraining effect could be resisted with one's own power.
It was precisely because of this guess that Kai had set this as the training plan for the second phase.
"Instructor Laxus, can we still move after we put this thing on?" Smoker's cheek muscles couldn't help but twitch.
Faced with this question, everyone present was obviously holding this thought, and their eyes turned in unison and locked onto Kai.
After all, in their understanding, Seastone was the nemesis of Devil Fruit ability users.
"Hehe, you're still too young." Kai chuckled and picked a Seastone handcuff from Bepo's hand and reached out and grabbed it.
The sudden scene made Smoker and the others' nerves tighten at once.
However, in their eyes, Kai, who was also a Devil Fruit ability user, hadn't softened to the ground.
"Isn't it strange!" Kai smiled playfully and said, "In the consistent understanding, Devil Fruit ability users will be restrained by Seastone, but the power that's restrained is only the Devil Fruit."
"Although it also has some influence on the body, if the strength reaches a certain level, the restriction of Seastone on one's own strength and the three colors of Haki will be weakened infinitely."
Speaking of this, Kai's right hand's five fingers clenched slightly, and jet-black Busoshoku Haki quickly covered his entire arm.
As he suddenly stepped forward, his entire person disappeared into thin air like a ghost.
When he reappeared, he had already arrived behind Zoro.
The sudden scene shook everyone's nerves.
No!
It should be said that this had already subverted their understanding.
In their understanding, once a Devil Fruit ability user touched Seastone, they should be like fish on a cutting board.
"Isn't it surprising?" Kai smiled and handed the Seastone to Luffy.
The moment he subconsciously took it, his entire person collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.
"I can't do it anymore. I feel like I can't muster any strength in my whole body. Zoro, hurry up and save me." Luffy said weakly.
This was indeed genuine Seastone!
If they had been skeptical about the Seastone handcuffs in Kai's hand just a moment ago,
then Luffy's posture right now undoubtedly shattered the last trace of doubt in their hearts.
In this world, there really were Devil Fruit ability users who could ignore the influence of Seastone to a certain extent.
Of course, only Kai knew that what he possessed was just Dragon Slayer Magic, which had been given by the system, and not some Mythical Zoan-type Lightning Dragon Fruit.
Not to mention Seastone, even this sea couldn't have the slightest bit of effect on him.
He was doing this just to make Smoker and the others have more confidence in his training.
"Instructor Laxus, are you saying that as long as we adapt to Seastone and the restraint on our bodies, then that means our own strength has broken through the limit?" Smoker couldn't help but ask urgently.
"Once we can do what you did, Instructor, and still be able to fight under the restraint of Seastone's ability, can we aspire to the position of admiral?"
Mixed in the urgent words was an inexplicable eagerness.
As members of the Marine, the admiral was their most important evaluation standard for strength.
"Instructor, will I be able to become the Pirate King?" Luffy also hurriedly blurted out a sentence weakly.
Watching the two ambitious guys, Kai rolled his eyes and said, "Do you really think that the admiral and the Pirate King are cabbages on the side of the road that can be obtained by just flapping your lips?"
"However, if you can successfully pass this training, I think you won't be too far from your goals."
"Next, I've prepared five standard Seastone content handcuffs. You'll start with 20% first and strive to fully adapt within a month."
"Understood, Instructor!" Smoker and Luffy hurriedly agreed.
After Kai signaled Bepo to distribute the Seastone handcuffs, he looked at Ain, who was on the side, and said, "Haven't you written down the key points yet?"
"Actually, as long as you master the method of cutting Seastone, these training methods are easy to replicate. Most importantly, you are unique students who possess great potential and resilience."
Speaking of this, Kai rubbed Ain's head and said, "The road ahead is still long, and you need to grasp it well yourselves."
"Ah?" Ain suddenly woke up, closed the notebook in her hand, and a trace of strangeness appeared on her pretty face and said, "Instructor, what you're saying gives people the feeling that you'll leave at any time. You won't suddenly leave us one day, will you?"
In Ain's eyes, the invitation from the chief instructor of the Marine Headquarters' recruit camp was a supreme honor.
It was even a position in the Marine that, in some sense, was as important as the position of fleet admiral.
It could be said that no Marine member could resist this temptation.
"Hehe, this isn't something that your little head can think about. Let's try the 20% purity Seastone training first." Kai smiled and, with a backhand, fastened a Seastone handcuff on Ain's wrist.
The sudden scene made her body have a feeling of being electrocuted instantly.
As a feeling of powerlessness swept over her, she staggered and fell directly into Kai's arms.
