Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: The Ambition of the Arlong

(Just reached 100 chapter on p@treon)

"After drinking the physique potion, a person's physical abilities can be greatly enhanced.

In simple terms, it can turn an ordinary person into a superhuman, boosting their strength, speed, endurance, recovery, and defense abilities to a significant extent. The exact level of enhancement varies from person to person.

Similar to the previous life potion, each vial of this elixir can only be used by one person.

In addition to that..." Luo Ke produced a book and tossed it to Luffy.

"This book is another reward for you. It contains the training secrets of the Six Techniques of Body Arts, also known as the Marine Six Techniques. These techniques are taught to Marines and Cipher Pol agents to enhance their physical abilities.

Each technique is highly practical, but mastering all of them is extremely difficult. Even Marine vice admirals can only learn a few of the Six Techniques. Only the CP9, who have been training in them since childhood, can fully grasp them. Mastering these techniques will also elevate your overall physical prowess above that of ordinary individuals.

However, after drinking the physique potion, you will be able to easily learn them."

As Luo Ke spoke, the holographic images in the air demonstrated the various moves of the Six Techniques.

Luffy, Usopp, and the others watched with great excitement. They hadn't expected such fantastic rewards.

For them, as beginners who had just set sail, this was the best thing that could happen, especially for Usopp. He knew he was weak, far inferior to Zoro and Luffy. After witnessing the battles that Luffy would face, he felt scared deep down.

But after seeing these rewards, he felt relieved. With these, even he, Usopp, could become a strong fighter.

The viewers watching the live broadcast were shocked by the demonstrations of the Six Techniques in the holographic images. The ability to fly with Moon Steps, instant movement with Shave, the incredible hardness of Iron Block... Could humans really perform these techniques?

However, when they thought of the monstrous Marines and pirates in the Summit War, they fell silent.

Then, they looked at the Straw Hat Pirates with envy. With just a sip of the physique potion, they could effortlessly master these body techniques. It was truly amazing.

Especially the members of CP9, witnessing this scene made them feel utterly inadequate."

They had to endure so much hardship from a young age to master those techniques, and now others could just drink a bottle of potion and achieve the same results. It was quite disheartening.

However, these physique potions were like treasures for ordinary people or those with average strength. But for the likes of the Shogun, Kaido, Big Mom, and other powerful individuals, they were clearly insufficient.

It was evident that this reward was not as impressive as the life potion Whitebeard had given them before.

They had initially thought that if this was another life potion and the young ones didn't use it immediately, they could consider snatching it. But with just a physique potion, it wasn't as enticing, and it was obvious that these young boys would make use of it.

They speculated that the previous reward given by Whitebeard was only one life potion, which is why it was so valuable. This time, the reward was shared among everyone, so it seemed less impressive. However, it was just right for these young individuals, as it was exactly what they needed.

It seemed that the rewards would vary based on the person answering the question, and they would receive what they needed.

This realization sparked a fiery enthusiasm in everyone's hearts. Didn't this mean that their desires or goals would be fulfilled?

They became increasingly excited for their turn to answer the next question.

...

Meanwhile, as Luffy received the book, Usopp and the others immediately gathered around him to flip through the training secrets of the Six Techniques.

This was a fantastic treasure.

The demonstrations of the Six Techniques in the holographic images had already ignited their excitement.

Luffy, in particular, chugged down the physique potion without hesitation.

The others stared intently at Luffy, and within seconds of drinking the potion, they witnessed a transformation. Luffy visibly grew taller, and his muscles became even more pronounced than before.

Most importantly, after drinking the potion, Luffy tossed aside the training manual and disappeared from his original spot with a swish.

Shave... He had just glanced at it and already mastered it!

As Luo Ke had said, after drinking the physique potion, learning the Six Techniques was effortless.

This made the Warlords a bit envious. If this thing could be mass-produced, the physique of Marine soldiers would rise significantly.

Just imagine, every Marine soldier being a master of the Six Techniques. It would mean that every regular Marine would possess the strength of CP9. That would be terrifying.

The Marines would directly enter their heyday.

Where did this man named Luo Ke get all these amazing things from?!

...

...

Seeing Luffy's performance, the others eagerly consumed the physique potions they held in their hands.

But when it was Nami's turn, a voice from Arlong halted her.

"Stop! Nami, hand over the physique potion and the training manual to me, and I will return your village to you."

Arlong's words caused Nami to pause in the act of drinking the potion.

She glanced at the people in her village and then at the potion in her hand, entering into contemplation.

If this had been before, she wouldn't have hesitated upon hearing this request. As long as Arlong spared her village, what harm would it do to give him the physique potion?

But now her mindset had changed. Luo Ke, the mysterious man, had appeared when she was at her most helpless, and everything that followed seemed like a miracle.

She still held a bottle of potion in her hand that could make her stronger.

She could sense that if she drank this potion, she would have the power to change the situation.

However, she wasn't sure if she could defeat Arlong. After all, the strength Dragon had displayed in front of her was overwhelmingly powerful.

And so, she fell into deep thought.

Arlong, seeing Nami's hesitation, assumed that she was considering his offer.

He continued, "Nami, think carefully. What will be the result if you don't listen to me? The lives of the people in your village are in your hands. Hurry, give me the items. I promise that once I have them, I won't harm a single person in Cocoyasi Village. And I'll also return the one hundred million you raised before."

Arlong's greed was evident in his eyes as he looked at the orange potion in Nami's hand.

He saw an opportunity to become stronger.

Fishmen were already ten times stronger than humans, and if he were to drink the physique potion, his strength would undergo a tremendous increase.

Revenge was also a possibility.

He wanted to become stronger and unleash all the hatred and anger he had accumulated over the years onto humans.

He wanted to prove that Fishmen were the most superior race in the world!
