[6. Rest time: Daily sleep must not exceed 1.5 hours (including dream training).]
[Warning: This plan far exceeds the host's current endurance. Accidents may occur during execution.]
[Confirm?]
Luffy stared at the glowing screen and took a deep breath.
Ten thousand punches.
One hundred kilometers.
Sixty minutes of electric shocks.
Fifty wild beasts…
Every single item was hell-level difficulty.
But he didn't hesitate.
"Confirm."
[Plan activated.]
[Host is advised to prepare mentally.]
Luffy closed his eyes.
Mentally prepared?
He had been ready from the moment he picked up the pendant.
He knew this path wouldn't be easy.
But since he chose it—
He would walk it to the end.
—
4:00 a.m., the next morning.
Luffy woke up on time.
He washed quickly, ate some leftover bread from last night, and stepped out of the cabin.
The sky was still dark. The village is silent.
He took a deep breath and ran toward the back mountain.
First training item: 10,000 punches.
He reached his usual clearing and took his stance.
One punch. Two punches. Three punches…
Perfect form. Full power.
He had completely mastered his force generation. Each punch mobilized his entire body.
With the growth of his Observation Haki seed, his control had become more refined.
He could feel every muscle contraction, every joint rotation—even the flow of blood beneath his skin.
That awareness drastically improved his efficiency.
—
One hour later.
Punch 2,000.
His arms were sore, but manageable.
Two hours later.
Punch 5,000.
Sweat soaked his clothes. His breathing turned heavy.
He didn't stop.
If he stopped—
He might never get up again.
Three hours later.
Punch 7,000.
His arms felt like they were filled with lead. Lifting them required everything he had.
His consciousness began to blur.
He bit his lip until it bled, using the pain to stay awake.
Four hours later.
Punch 9,000.
It felt like his soul was leaving his body.
But he kept swinging.
One thought echoed in his mind:
Don't stop.
Don't stop.
Don't stop—
Finally, at 4 hours and 37 minutes—
Punch 10,000.
[Task 1 completed.]
[Host has broken through physical limits. Willpower greatly increased.]
[Reward: Constitution upgraded to C-.]
[Additional reward: All remaining training volume today reduced by 10%.]
Luffy collapsed onto the ground, gasping.
He couldn't move a finger.
But inside—
There was satisfaction.
Ten thousand punches.
He did it.
After twenty minutes of rest, he forced himself upright.
Next: long-distance run.
One hundred kilometers reduced by 10% meant ninety kilometers.
Still brutal.
But slightly less brutal.
He started running.
His steps were heavy. Slower than usual.
But steady.
One kilometer. Two. Three…
His mind emptied.
He just moved his legs.
Forward. Forward. Forward.
Time passed.
The sun rose… then slowly drifted westward.
Luffy didn't know how long he had been running.
He only knew the numbers on the screen kept climbing.
50 km…
60 km…
70 km…
At 80 kilometers—
His vision went dark.
He collapsed.
As consciousness faded, he heard the system's alert:
[Host stamina depleted. Initiating emergency recovery protocol.]
A warm current surged from his chest, spreading throughout his body.
The pendant.
