Chapter 75: It's Reasonable
How is this going? Didn't he get injected with the mummy virus by that big fat man Queen? Why did my physique become stronger after these three minutes of "torture"? This... isn't it? Rao, Darren has experienced countless storms and crises after crossing over and even fought with strong men like Byrnndi Waldo and One Piece Roger, so he couldn't help but become confused at this time.
Shouldn't the virus destroy the body structure and make the body weaker? Just now, that fellow Queen also said that people who are infected with the mummy virus would feel hot all over their bodies. This kind of excessive heat beyond what the human body can bear would quickly spread throughout the body, causing pain as if bathing in fire. Moreover, the blood will continue to evaporate during this process, and significant dehydration will lead to the depletion of body organs. But what's going on with me? Is this... reasonable!?
At this moment, Darren's brain was racing. Already seriously injured and at the verge of physical limits, the damage and stress of the mummy virus on the body, and a low dose of the virus... etc! Darren suddenly remembered something Queen said: "Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily."
Could it be... A crazy and absurd idea flashed in the deepest part of Darren's mind and exploded like a thunderbolt! "Fatty Queen never thought of killing me and Bullet with a virus from the very beginning, after all, Kaido gave him orders..." 'He just wanted to use me and Bullet as subjects for his virus, so he didn't use a large dose of the virus...' "And he has been using life detection equipment to monitor the vital signs of Bullet and me to ensure that we will not die due to the invasion of the virus..."
On the premise of ensuring that there is no fatal danger, this method continues to exert external pressure on the body and causes destruction when the body reaches its limit. Isn't it the practice method that I have been using in the past!?
The moment this thought burst into his mind, Darren's expression suddenly became extremely strange, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Could it be that inadvertently, the way Queen used the virus to test and torture himself happened to be the process of helping him break through the limits of his body!?
The most bizarre and absurd thing is that this short three-minute "virus torture" has brought me a physical bonus of nearly 1 point! A one-point increase does not seem like much, but you must know that Darren's current physical data has reached 70 points. According to his own standards, even Kaido, known as "the strongest creature in the sea, land, and air" at his peak, has only 100 physical points!!
With Darren's physical strength, it is extremely difficult to continue improving his physical data. This is at least equivalent to half a month of super-intensive training in the officer training camp! Moreover, this kind of training improvement will become weaker and weaker as time goes by and the body adapts.
The most important point is that Darren can vaguely perceive that the stimulation of the virus injected by Queen on the body, the metabolic pressure exerted, is mainly on the internal organs... In other words, the strengthening of the physique that I feel is not simply the addition of hardness to the skin, muscles, and bones, but the strengthening of the internal organs!! This means that your internal organ function, toughness, and resilience after trauma will be improved!
This is a training effect that conventional anti-strike training cannot achieve. After all, it is difficult for the human body to practice internal organs. Thinking of this, Darren couldn't help but think of Kaido's "King Kong is not bad" body. The strength of Kaido's physique is not only the ability of the body to resist blows but also the strength of the body in all directions without any weak points.
Even masters who have mastered the "internal destruction" level of Emission Haki, such as Zoro, Jinweimen, and Kira, may have successfully injured Kaido, leaving scars on his body surface and attacking his internal organs. But in fact, their attack on Kaido was almost "painless." Even if their attacks damaged Kaido's internal organs, it would not affect his combat effectiveness at all, and he easily overpowered Luffy.
This is the overall strength of his flesh. I have always wanted to explore methods and techniques of exercising my internal organs, but I didn't have much of an idea. I didn't expect to learn something from Queen! Queen is helping me become stronger! But is this reasonable?
Darren couldn't help thinking about this question seriously and soon came up with an answer. It makes sense! Isn't the so-called practice the process of constantly exerting external pressure, avoiding life-threatening situations, pushing the body to the limit, and letting the body gradually adapt to this pressure? Everything Queen did perfectly fits these elements of becoming stronger. As the most accurate monitoring method for scientists, it is guaranteed that Darren's life is not in danger; the precise dosage of the virus ensures that Darren is on the edge of his physical limit, applying the right amount of pressure, so as not to leave long-term hidden dangers. After all, Kaido is primarily interested in recruiting him.
Thinking of this, Darren couldn't help letting out a long breath. At this time, the hellish heat and pain in his body had gradually faded away, and Darren, feeling a little better, raised his head and, as if remembering something, turned to look at Bullet. I became stronger under the stimulation of the virus, so what about Bullet?
But the moment Darren looked at Bullet, he saw a face with the same strange expression. Darren blinked. Bullet blinked. The corners of their mouths twitched at the same time. It spoke volumes without words. "This guy has also become stronger..." Darren and Bullet exchanged glances and quickly looked away, the thought crossing their minds simultaneously. Quiet was restored in the gloomy prison again.
After resting for a while, Darren endured the weakness and loss of strength brought by the seastone, reached out to pick up the plate brought in by a Beasts Pirates member, picked up the food, and ate it. The jerky was dry, not tasty, but Darren didn't care. At this time, the most important thing was to take in enough food to replenish physical strength and speed up the recovery of injuries. Bullet hesitated for a moment.
The habit of being a professional soldier, as well as the pain of being betrayed by his comrades and superiors, made him distrust anyone and anything. "If they want to kill us, they can do it anytime, there's no need to poison the food." At this time, Darren, who was wolfing down the food, said something vaguely. Bullet was taken aback. He was silent for a while, then took a deep look at Darren, and began to eat without saying a word.
