Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Bang bang bang!

The sounds of objects colliding rang out as Luffy was used as a whip by Kyle, who sent them flying one by one.

After losing his usefulness, a dazed Luffy was thrown towards Ace by Kyle.

"ah!!"

Ace let out another scream.

Looking at the men lying on the ground groaning in pain, Kyle smiled.

"Compared to half a month ago, your strength has indeed improved a bit, but want to beat Big Brother? You're still a hundred thousand years away!"

Throughout the year, Kyle would fight the five men every so often.

Compared to a year ago, all five of them are much stronger.

Of course, it wasn't to an extremely outrageous degree.

Unlike in the original work, Luffy's strength increases like a rocket.

This is reality, not a comic book; there isn't that kind of crazy growth in strength.

There is no such miracle here as the fruit that was smelling athlete's foot two months ago and then awakened to kill the Four Emperors two months later.

There was no incredible story of putting in two hundred times the effort, sacrificing one's master, and experiencing an explosive increase in strength.

Great strength requires time and experience, not something that can be achieved overnight.

As for Kyle, his strength has also been enhanced to some extent, but not dramatically.

He is still quite a distance from becoming a general.

His previous plan also failed; in the end, he still had to rely on his own efforts to become stronger. Relying on the system's rewards to become stronger was indeed the fastest way to improve his strength, but the problem was...

Since returning from Frostmoon Village, he hadn't heard a single word from the system for a whole year.

If the system space hadn't still been there, he would have doubted whether his system had disappeared.

So, except for the first week when Luffy and the others were training, he was playing around during the first week of the year, and he was training during the rest of the year as well.

After all, he can't just keep waiting for the system to issue tasks, can he?

As it turned out, his decision was correct; otherwise, waiting another day would have been another day of wasted cultivation time.

Of all the abilities he has mastered, swordsmanship has probably seen the greatest improvement.

Even though he had never practiced swordsmanship, he couldn't help having a tool for him!

Kyle's main activity this year wasn't training himself, but rather urging Zoro to train.

Zoro was forced to become the most hardworking of the five.

There's no way around it; if Zoro doesn't train, how can Kael's swordsmanship improve?

No amount of self-training can compare to the feedback from Zoro's triple swordsmanship training results.

After glancing at the group again, Kyle turned his gaze to a figure on the other side.

Sensing Kyle's gaze, the figure expertly removed his cloak, leaving only his purple undergarment.

The figure was Zeff; Kyle and Zeff had developed a habit over the past year.

Every time Kyle and Luffy's group of five finish playing house, they fight Zeff.

After rigorous training, high-intensity combat is needed to fully transform the results of regular training and enhance one's strength.

However, just as Kyle was about to head towards Zephyr, a long-lost electronic notification sound rang in his mind.

[Ding! Special event detected, generating task...]

[Task generated successfully. Please carefully review the task details!]

[Recruitment Mission: Recruit Vinsmoke Sanji. Eight-year-old Sanji recently escaped from the Germa Kingdom, which he considers a nightmare... Currently, he and Red-Leg Zeff are stranded on a small reef in the East Blue. Please recruit this future pervert into the Marines!]

[Recruitment Rewards: Observation Haki enhancement, Bloodline Factor (Sanji)]

[Since the mission objective is not near the host, detailed mission objective coordinates have been provided...]

!!!

Kyle's expression froze for a moment, then he burst into intense joy.

The system, which has been dormant for almost a year... is finally showing signs of activity?!

Damn it, if this system doesn't make a sound soon, I'm really going to forget about it.

And the rewards this time are quite generous!

Leaving aside the improvement in Observation Haki, since the system hasn't specified the extent of the improvement, the value of this reward is still uncertain.

But Sanji's bloodline factor, that's a good thing!

After awakening, they possess multiple abilities.

First, there's the hard exoskeleton similar to Wolverine's claws, which greatly enhances defense. In the original comics, Sanji took Queen's sword head-on without any damage, while Queen's sword broke and his body was twisted, but he could repair it by punching and hitting it.

Secondly, the recovery ability is also greatly enhanced because the bloodline factor contains self-healing factors.

Furthermore, there's the ability to become invisible. Sanji's invisibility is an ability inherent in his bloodline genes, not a capability possessed by the Raid Suit. The Raid Suit merely serves to assist in its activation.

Theoretically speaking, when the bloodline factor is awakened to a high enough degree, it is possible to achieve invisibility even without the aid of a combat suit.

During the Onigashima War, it can be said that Sanji's strength increased by more than one level after his bloodline factor awakened.

On Egghead Island, he even kicked Kizaru's laser beam so hard it shattered, leaving his uncle speechless with shock.

This demonstrates the power of Sanji's bloodline.

And now, oh no! Soon this will become his ability, and his strength will see another boost.

With this in mind, Kyle turned his gaze to Zephyr and spoke directly:

"Teacher Zefa, let's skip the fight today. I'll go and bring back another disciple for you!"

With that, Kyle's figure instantly transformed into purple lightning and shot straight into the sky.

Zephyr was momentarily stunned by Kyle's words. After a while, he snapped out of it, his eyes widening and his face turning slightly pale. Without caring whether Kyle could hear him or not, he began to curse at the sky:

"Kyle, you bastard, are you bringing me back another brat?"

"I'm practically a Boy Scout leader now!!"

Zefa was loud and boisterous, and training these kids was already exhausting him. He only went to the elite training camp occasionally, spending most of his time training these guys.

Now they want to bring one back for him?

Zefa felt utterly exhausted. He suddenly turned his gaze to the five people watching the commotion on the other side and vented all his anger on them.

"What are you looking at? Get up, all of you, and run one hundred laps around the training ground!!"

"Huh??!!" * 5!

Meanwhile, on a small reef in the East China Sea, two figures, one large and one small, sat back to back...
