No matter who you are, you can't go into battle with a grudge. When you become a pirate, you must have a clean reason so that you can rob without any distractions. Especially in such a magical sea, the power of the mind can be said to dominate.
If you don't untie the knot in your heart, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
As for the guys who have regained their freedom, the best thing would be to hold a banquet and let everyone vent their frustration of being taken to the Bridge Kingdom.
"Sager, are you okay?"
Lily looked at Sager worriedly as he kept eating. Although it was a banquet, it was different from the past. In the past, Sager ate a lot but would stop when he had enough. He would basically let Marika serve two or three times more food than others.
Now, he was like a bottomless pit. Although he still paid attention to his eating manners and even showed a very confident expression when drinking, the food he ate was obviously more than his original amount.
The cooked meat and fish bones were bitten into pieces by his teeth and swallowed. The seafood and shellfish were roughly broken open and the meat was poured into his mouth. No matter what dish was served, he reached out his hand so fast that it was like an afterimage and swallowed it quickly.
Normal people will basically feel full when they eat until their stomachs are full. Those who are too big will just let their abdomens bulge out noticeably, making people feel that their stomachs are a little big.
This is true whether it is Lily or anyone else.
Even though Renetia was eating well and trying to grow up faster, she only had a round belly.
But Sager is different.
His body was visibly getting fatter. In the past, if he wanted to gain weight, it would take time. If he didn't exercise and ate every day, and just lay there every day, he would definitely gain weight over time.
Sager didn't even need a whole night. In just one or two hours, he ate like crazy and quickly gained weight.
His stomach even swelled into the size of a ball, and the fat spread throughout his body, causing his hands and feet to swell. His face also quickly became obese from its angular face.
It's totally against common sense.
Normal humans, no matter how much they eat, will at most die of bloating. How can they become fat quickly?
Sager is not a person with special abilities.
"Eh? Do you want to be a sumo wrestler, Sager?"
Renetia was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't want to be a pirate anymore? Did Garp traumatize you? But you have a bounty now, you can't be a sumo wrestler."
Marika had just finished making a big barbecue on a bedrock and asked Palu and other pirates to carry it away. Then she approached here, smiling, and said, "Ah, are you injured? Are you ready to return with your life?"
At this moment, the face that was so fat that the facial features were almost invisible quickly shrank, and in just a moment, Sager's body quickly returned to its original state.
It seemed that the fat and fatty meat just now disappeared like a phantom.
He shook her hand, felt her body, looked at Marika, and said, "Do you know?"
"I can do that, too."
Marika smiled and said, "This trick is very good, because chefs always have to taste food from all over the world, whether it's delicious or not. With this trick, you don't have to worry about gaining weight."
"Is this the source of your extraordinary strength?" Sager asked in surprise.
Marika smiled without saying anything, but her expression said it all.
"Hey, stop being a riddler. What is the return of life?" Renetia said dissatisfiedly.
"Um"
Marika tapped her chin with her finger, raised her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "To put it simply, every part of the body can be controlled freely through consciousness, no matter how small, and can also be freely chosen for digestion and absorption. No matter how much food is eaten, it can be quickly broken down, so there is the scene where the captain becomes a fat man."
"That's right."
Sager's head moved slightly, and his white hair suddenly stretched out and twisted into something like white tentacles, extending around him.
Renetia reached out and touched the twisting white tentacle. The smooth feeling of the hair in her hand made her shudder and she took two steps back.
Lily stepped back directly, cold sweat breaking out on her face.
"There's nothing to be afraid of about my hair."
Sager controlled his white hair back to its original hairstyle and glanced at Lily, "It's not a real tentacle. A knight like you doesn't need to be afraid."
"No, no!" Lily's cheeks flushed, and she said stubbornly, "I'm just surprised and that kind of thing is not important. If you learn how to return life, you don't have to get fat anymore, right?"
"In theory, yes."
Sager nodded, glanced at Marika, and said, "Normally, the absorbed nutrients will be transformed into other things because the human body cannot absorb so many nutrients. But if you know this trick, you can use the nutrients in other ways."
"It can treat injuries, replenish physical strength, and even store this strength so that it can be released in one go during a battle, or like Marika, increase your own strength. For example, I am injured, so I need a lot of nutrients from food to make up for my injuries, and I can quickly heal my injuries through life return."
"Eh? Are you hurt?" Renetia was stunned.
Sager rolled his eyes at her and said, "That's Garp. He and I are not related. How can I not get hurt after encountering a battle like that?"
He took a beating from Garp's Galaxy Blast, but it didn't use the "internal destruction" function, just pure external damage. Even so, the power was enough to seriously injure him.
It's just that no one can see it. Now it is safe. Of course, I need to rely on food to speed up the recovery of my injuries.
He took a sip of wine and said, "If you want to learn Life Return, the most convenient thing is to learn the Six Styles first. That way you will have a greater chance of understanding it."
Life Return is not an advanced version of the Six Styles. The two are not closely related. Strictly speaking, it is a kind of meditation method. After all, it is using consciousness to control the body. However, if you learn all six styles, you have a higher probability of learning Life Return than ordinary people.
After all, it all comes down to the delicate control of the body, and as one of the 'Six Styles' who has developed the human body to its limits in the sea, he is naturally qualified to comprehend the return of life.
Even though he possessed the highest level of physical skills, he was only able to master the return of life after mastering the six styles.
"Malika, prepare food for me for another hundred people," said Sager.
"Oh, how about meat? After all, it's the fastest and most convenient." Marika said.
"Um"
Sager's eyes flashed red, "There are many ferocious beasts on the island, kill them."
"Of course the chef is responsible for finding the ingredients."
Marika smiled and said, "Leave it to me."
How could an island with fresh water be without life?
But Sager didn't care. He was even a little relieved. Wouldn't it be possible to make up for it with food?
The strength of those things is no match for the three women here.
Several people headed towards the island, and soon they heard strange roars and explosions.
Marika dragged a giant bird with a long neck to the campfire, Renetia used power to drive a giant wild boar with a charred body over, and Lily came back to find someone to help, and asked someone to carry a giant deer-shaped creature with claws.
The size of these three beasts is enough to feed several hundred people for a long time.
As for meat, it can be eaten with simple cooking. What Sager wants now is something edible, so he doesn't need to deliberately pursue deliciousness, so it is also simple to cook.
This time when eating, Sager would no longer let his body swell. He was not very skilled in doing it before, but he became proficient the second time. He could accurately use the nutrients in the food after entering his stomach to restore his injuries. After eating, all his injuries were completely healed.
This rapid recovery leaves no damage, and broken bones and damaged internal organs heal quickly with the support of nutrients.
Marika was also observing Sager. Seeing that he seemed to be fine, she was surprised and asked, "Can he do this? He seems to be in good condition. Doesn't he need to recover from his injuries?"
"You can't do it?" Sager looked at her.
"No, no matter how much you eat, you can only recover to 50%. You still need to recuperate for the rest of the time. After all, injuries are easy to recover from, but physical fatigue is not easy to recover from. It also takes energy to restore life." Marika said with a smile.
Sager showed a probing look, he looked at his hands and fell silent.
It is normal to consume energy, but he can recover all of it, but Marika cannot.
This woman can restore her life to the point of increasing her strength. Even if her own strength is not small and she may have a natural bonus, her proficiency must be high to be able to achieve this.
Is it a realm issue or a limitation issue that I can't do what he does?
"Lily, give me the sword."
After he said this, he turned around and drew out the rapier from Lily's waist, and quickly cut a wound on his finger. The energy stored in the food he had just eaten, using the life return, healed the wound extremely finely, and the tiny wound disappeared in an instant.
Lily and Renetia were completely unaware of this sudden movement. Instead, Marika, who was well versed in life restoration, suddenly thought of something. Her smiling face froze, her pupils contracted, and sweat appeared on her forehead for no apparent reason.
"Haha. Hahaha. Hoohahaha!"
Sager clenched his fists, a ferocious smile appeared on his face: "How funny!"
No matter what the problem was, he found a new way to strengthen himself!
