One day has passed since Monka escaped. At this time, Coby and Belumebear are cleaning the deck at the stern with brushes.

Not far from the two of them, on the railing at the stern of the ship, Cap was sitting cross-legged, stuffing donuts into his mouth.

Bellemer, who was cleaning with Coby, secretly glanced at Vice Admiral Garp who was sitting on the fence, then looked at Takagi Akira who was swimming desperately to catch up with the warship on the sea behind the ship, and then approached Coby and complained to him in a low voice.

"Honestly, seeing Takagi Akira's condition, I kind of regretted agreeing to go with Vice Admiral Garp. It's been almost a day since Vice Admiral Garp threw Takagi Akira into the sea yesterday in the name of training. This is definitely a pace of training him to death."

Coby pointed out the problems in Bellumeber's language that went beyond common sense.

"You're overthinking, Bellemere. How could it have been from yesterday until now? You're talking as if Takagi Ming didn't go back to the ship to rest and eat at night."

"The reason why you feel this way must be because Akira Takagi stopped training after we rested and started exercising before we got up."

As he spoke, an excited look appeared on Coby's face.

"Is this the amount of training at the Marine Headquarters? It's really not comparable to the training at the branch. No wonder the Marine Headquarters is so strong."

"Once we get to the headquarters, we can become stronger if we work together."

In response to Coby's rebuttal, Bellemer swallowed before continuing.

"I went to the bathroom late last night and went to the deck to enjoy the evening breeze. I saw Akira Takagi still swimming in the sea."

"No way? Gao Muming really swam all day without eating or drinking?"

"You two, get to work and stop talking nonsense."

Vice Admiral Garp's voice exploded in the ears of Coby and Bellemel who were whispering. Coby and Bellemel's bodies trembled in fear from Garp's sudden voice.

"Yes!"

After responding subconsciously, the two looked up at Vice Admiral Garp who didn't even look back and couldn't help but mutter in their hearts.

"The sound of the sea breeze and waves was so loud, and we were not close to Vice Admiral Garp and did not turn around. Even when we were close together, we could not hear each other's words clearly. How did Vice Admiral Garp know that we were busy talking and not working?"

At this time in the sea, Gao Muming looked at the warship not far in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"You never know until you try. I seem to be much stronger than I thought. I swam after a warship moving at full speed for a whole day and night without reaching my limit. My previous estimate of my own strength was indeed too conservative."

Sitting on the fence, Karp looked at Gao Muming below and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"He is indeed a good candidate for the navy. He is very good at physical training. It looks like I can teach him the Six Styles soon."

Just then, Bogart walked up to Lieutenant General Garp with a newspaper.

"Here is the latest newspaper. There is also a piece of news that you should be interested in."

"Oh? What's the news?"

Lieutenant General Karp took the newspaper from Bogart and pulled out a latest wanted poster from the newspaper.

Looking at the happy-looking Straw Hat Boy Luffy on the wanted poster, and then looking at the reward of 30 million Baileys, Garp suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, this little bastard looks like he's having a great time. In the East China Sea, where the average bounty is 3 million Baileys, the first bounty is 30 million Baileys. He really is worthy of being my grandson, and he's quite capable."

After saying this, Vice Admiral Garp put the newspaper aside.

"It's a good opportunity to stop by Rogue Town. Maybe I can see my grandson whom I haven't seen for a long time."

Hearing Vice Admiral Garp's words, Bogart nodded slightly, looked at Takagi Akira who was still swimming in the sea, and turned away.

After another half a day, Gao Muming's physical strength gradually ran out and his swimming speed began to slow down.

Through his observation Haki, Garp easily saw through Takagi Akira's condition.

"Can he swim at full speed for a day and a half? Let's see how good he is."

Garp leaped off the warship, stepped on the air with his moon steps and came to Gao Muming's side. He grabbed Gao Muming's collar and lifted Gao Muming out of the sea, and returned to the warship in a few steps.

After landing on the boat, Gao Muming, who had already consumed a lot of physical energy and felt a little uncomfortable, looked even uglier because of seasickness.

Vice Admiral Garp acted as if he didn't notice Takagi Akira's slightly pale face.

"You haven't eaten for over a day, I think you must be hungry. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat, and after we finish eating, I want to test your skills."

After hearing Vice Admiral Garp's arrangements for the next itinerary, Takagi Akira's already pale face turned even paler.

"Vice Admiral Garp, can you let me rest for a while? I'm very seasick."

"No, when you're fighting pirates, no matter if you're seasick or uncomfortable, the pirates won't let you go and give you a chance to breathe just because you're unwell."

"As a marine who may encounter pirates at any time and engage in a life-and-death battle, you must maintain your combat effectiveness in any situation. All this is for you to become a strong marine."

Vice Admiral Garp's powerful words reached Takagi Akira's ears. Knowing that Vice Admiral Garp was right, Takagi Akira could only accept the reality helplessly and followed behind Vice Admiral Garp step by step.

At the dining table, Takagi Akira ate the food in front of him slowly and chewed it carefully.

Seeing this, Karp raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Are you trying to delay time?"

Just when Vice Admiral Garp thought that Takagi Akira would take this opportunity to eat for a long time, Takagi Akira slowly ate two servings of food and then stopped eating.

"I'm full, Vice Admiral Garp we can get started."

"Is this all you eat? It's not even as much as the average Marine Corps member eats."

When Garp saw that Gao Muming only ate such a small amount, he was very surprised and then frowned.

"That won't do. You're exercising so much and eating so little. Your body can't adapt to such intense exercise. If you continue like this, your body will be ruined."

"I originally thought that since you have trained your body to this extent, you should have already learned it, so I planned to skip it. Now it seems that our first lesson is to teach you how to breathe so that you can increase your appetite."

As he spoke, Vice Admiral Garp walked over to Akira Takagi and placed his hand on Akira Takagi's chest.

"First, close your eyes and feel the strength of my hand. Then, control your breathing according to the strength of my hand."
