[You have deeply analyzed the compatibility of 10,000 kinds of medicinal herbs and used them in human experiments. You have obtained an immense amount of experimental data, experienced a flash of inspiration, and had an epiphany, leading to the development of a foundation-building medicinal liquid.]
[In cultivation, the human body refines Qi and blood to transform Qi.
When essence and blood transform into Qi, it generates life energy, which clears and heals the body, enhances its functions, and strengthens cells.
This process is called foundation building.
For ordinary people, it takes a hundred days, thus it is often referred to as 'a hundred days to build a foundation.']
[Foundation Building Liquid: A medicinal liquid made from ingredients such as century-old ginseng and fleece-flower root.
When consumed, it provides the same life energy as the one produced during foundation building, hence the name 'Foundation Building Liquid.']

Reading through these notes, Chiba's face lit up with excitement.
He had been practicing the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength for two full months, awakening 60 million particles in the process. This speed was remarkable, but considering the total of 840 million particles in his body, at this pace, it would take another 26 months to complete the first stage.
By then, Ace would already be dead, and his vow to protect his brothers would mean nothing.
Additionally, as more particles awakened, forming the giant elephant placenta required an enormous amount of energy. Currently, he needed to consume 6,000 catties of meat per meal to maintain his energy levels. This took three hours daily just for eating, and his appetite would only continue to grow. If he continued like this, he feared he might starve to death.
Fortunately, the foundation-building potion was ready now. It could provide an immense amount of life energy.
Chiba immediately sent orders to gather all the necessary medicinal materials. To protect the formula, he added dozens of other herbs to the mix, making it impossible for anyone to decipher the true recipe.
Three nights later, ten bottles of a clear, 100ml liquid stood before him. These ten bottles had cost him a thousand catties of rare medicinal herbs, with a total value exceeding one billion Berries.
A billion Berries—an astronomical sum. Most people couldn't earn that much in ten lifetimes. If Chiba had to gather it all himself, it would take at least ten or eight years of raiding, dodging Marine hunts, and being labeled a criminal.
But now, within the Marine, he could acquire everything with just a word. Truly, joining the Marines had been the smartest choice.
"I wonder how many particles one bottle of this foundation-building liquid will awaken," Chiba muttered, his smile growing.
He grabbed a bottle and drank it in one gulp.
The liquid wasn't bitter; it had a subtle fragrance. As soon as it entered his stomach, it dissolved and spread throughout his body. These were life energies.
Chiba's 630,000 particles surged with excitement, eagerly absorbing the energy. At the same time, he activated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength. The particles in his body began awakening at an unprecedented speed.
In less than five minutes, he had awakened one million particles—an acceleration a hundred times faster than without the foundation-building liquid.
After an hour, the bottle was fully consumed. Chiba had awakened 12 million particles—an astonishing amount. At this rate, it would take just five days to awaken all the particles, a task that previously seemed impossible within two years.
Overjoyed, Chiba quickly downed another bottle of the liquid.
Eight hours later, Chiba concluded his session.
That night alone, he had awakened 108 million particles. Counting the previous 63 million, he now had 172 million particles awakened.
As he moved, Chiba felt an overwhelming surge of power coursing through his entire body. His spirit was so full that he was confident he could go ten days and nights without sleep.
Chiba activated his Armament Haki, and his hands and arms turned jet-black, like polished obsidian. He then drew his sword and tested it against his arm; sparks flew from the friction.
Chiba slashed at his arm again—this time, the speed was twice as fast as before.
Clang!
The sound was like metal striking metal, deeper and more resonant than before. Inspecting his arm, he found no mark whatsoever.
He estimated that his defense had doubled.
Satisfied, Chiba nodded. There was one bottle of the foundation-building liquid left, which he planned to save for Grandpa Garp. Garp's appetite was now even greater than his own, and without the liquid, he might starve to death before his training advanced.
Next, Chiba modified the foundation-building liquid to create a forging energy liquid. Although its potency was only a tenth of the original, the ingredients used were more abundant. This adjustment would allow him to conserve his medicinal supplies for future use.
After refining the energy training liquid, he spent another hour producing a finished batch. Armed with the completed product and its associated documentation, he went to report to Sengoku, requesting another shipment of medicinal materials since he had depleted the previous stock of rare herbs.
