I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

“Higuma, your fighting spirit is commendable, but training is not something that can be achieved overnight. Even for you, excessive training can lead to irreversible physical damage,” Zephyr earnestly advised.

"Hehe... I'm far from reaching my limit!"

Sieg smiled, his eyes filled with excitement:

"The training in the previous few days was just a warm-up; the amount of exercise was too little, and I almost fell asleep."

"I'm going to be the King of the Navy, how can this amount of training be enough?"

The other trainees around him whispered among themselves and looked at Sieg with strange eyes.

Let's not even talk about that flawed Navy King...

They had never actually seen anyone complain that Zephyr's training was too easy.

Zefa's face also darkened.

"Since that's the case, then so be it!"

"Sun Bear, double your training volume today!"

Chapter 420 One Day of Training

In the training field.

The sun was high in the sky, its rays baking the ground, and the air itself seemed slightly distorted.

A group of sailors ran shoulder to shoulder under the sun, repeating the laps again and again, sweating profusely.

This scene made many officers who had already graduated recall their lost youth.

"We went through the same kind of training as Admiral Zephyr back in the day..."

"With this large-scale recruitment, there are quite a few new recruits in the navy. Hehe... Admiral Zephyr will probably be busy for a while."

However, off-screen, a loud panting sound could be heard, which seemed somewhat out of place.

whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Amidst heavy breathing, a blond man sprinted at full speed, his body already soaked in sweat, his breathing extremely labored.

Under the sunlight, he seemed to be radiating a faint warmth.

While the others were running a marathon, he was sprinting, catching up with the navy soldiers running alongside him almost like the wind, and then dashing off again.

He was like a machine with inexhaustible stamina. He looked quite tired and his movements were distorted and sluggish, but he maintained a sprint for a long time.

Zefa watched this scene and nodded inwardly.

Although he said he would double Sieg's training, he was actually keeping a close eye on Sieg.

If Sieg shows any abnormality, such as collapsing from exhaustion, he will immediately stop his training to prevent Sieg from suffering any physical injury.

But looking at it this way, Zephyr suddenly realized... that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it?

"Is the Japanese bear more motivated than ever today?"

Perhaps he wasn't just putting on a brave face...

Zefa watched all of this, a warmth spreading through his heart.

As an instructor, he would naturally think highly of such a hardworking student.

........

Rope climbing training.

Sig used both feet to climb the rope at lightning speed, his movements so fast that sparks almost flew from the rope.

Live-fire training.

The naval cadets paired up and slashed at each other with wooden swords.

But when it came to Sieg...

Sig threw away the wooden sword in his hand and, as if he felt no pain, used his fist to block his opponent's wooden sword.

The surging power of his fist broke the wooden sword in his opponent's hand in just a few blows.

After each training session, Sieg was drenched in sweat and panting heavily, but his expression remained excited and he showed no signs of exhaustion.

This moved Zefa somewhat.

This can no longer be explained by mere willpower.

Sig’s body clearly possessed some kind of abnormality that set him apart from the other soldiers.

Zefa suddenly remembered the scene he had witnessed on the sky island of the Golden Lion.

"Is this why that person who calls himself Black Flame Dragon took a liking to Sun Bear?"

"Or...did that mysterious person change Higuma's physique?"

Zefa shook his head inwardly.

He couldn't make sense of these things either; there was only one thing he was certain of.

"It seems that the training plan I tailored for Sun Bear was a bit too conservative."

"It looks like we'll have to double the amount of training for Sun Bear from now on."

A smile appeared on Zefa's face as he made his decision.

.........

A moment later.

Zefa led Sig to another training ground.

"General Zephyr, I want to train, I want to get stronger, why did you bring me here?" Sig was still excited.

"Don't be impatient."

"Among these students, you are the only one who has mastered Observation Haki."

"Therefore, others are temporarily unable to participate in the training of Observation Haki."

Zefa coughed lightly and said.

Upon hearing that it was about training in Observation Haki, Sig calmed down a bit.

"Observation Haki is an ability that sharpens the five senses, allows one to perceive the presence of an enemy, and anticipate and avoid danger."

"The strength and range of Observation Haki, and even the specific direction of its development, vary from person to person."

"To achieve the ultimate in the ability to anticipate danger, it can even reach the level of predicting the future."

"To achieve the ultimate level of perception of aura, one can even hear the thoughts of others."

At this point, Zephyr paused and glanced at Sieg:

"The pirate king of the sea, Higuma, seemed to have mastered Observation Haki to the point of being able to predict the future. His Observation Haki was extremely powerful, and he was able to calmly dodge attacks from others even in the midst of a large army."

When Siegfried is mentioned, Zephyr can't help but recall that scene on the Skypiea...

Sieg nodded slightly, showing no sign of anything amiss.

Seeing this, Zephyr continued:

"And your Observation Haki is clearly better suited for long-distance aura sensing."

"Simply put, your Observation Haki is better suited for reconnaissance or sniping than for close combat or dodging attacks."

At this point, Zefa clapped his hands.

Five or six naval officers came from all directions and surrounded Sieg.

One of them also held a black cloth and blindfolded Sieg.

"Predicting attacks and dodging them is a weakness of your Observation Haki."

"This lesson is about providing targeted training to address your weaknesses."

"Don't fight back, try to use your Observation Haki to dodge."

“Higuma, of course I don’t expect you to reach Sig’s level, but the ability to anticipate danger and dodge attacks is very useful.”

After Zefa finished speaking, officers from all directions attacked simultaneously, throwing punches and kicks at him.

In an instant, Sieg felt gusts of wind rushing towards him.

In his haste, he instinctively bent over and felt a fist almost graz his body.

This sense of danger made Sieg's heart pound.

"This feeling...it seems somewhat familiar..."

A sense of familiarity welled up in Sieg's heart.

Ze, on the other hand, squinted and quietly observed from the side.

Sig's strengths lie in his stamina, high shooting accuracy, good strength, and his initial mastery of Observation Haki.

The training tailored for Zefa will be developed based on these points one by one.

...............

After a day of training.

Sig dragged his tired body back to the dormitory.

The first thing he did was to reopen the wardrobe.

The shadow clone Sig was still there, his mouth taped shut, only able to make muffled noises.

"You're still here... but don't even think about taking away my chance to cultivate and become stronger."

After a day of training, the excitement in his eyes gradually subsided, and his original rationality gradually returned.

"untie!"

Sig snorted coldly and immediately dispelled the shadow clone.

At the same time, memories of his shadow clone being locked behind the wardrobe also flooded into his mind.
