Chapter 89: Train The Jailers

"The jet lag was truly disorienting."

Luo Ning glanced out the window, where only a few minutes seemed to have passed. Yet, within the training ground, he had practiced for nearly twenty hours. The outside world's stagnation caused a surge of initial discomfort.

However, mentally, Luo Ning felt completely refreshed. At his level, he could remain energetic for a month without sleep.

Following his arrival, Luo Ning sought out Magellan and the other high-ranking officials.

"Master Luo Ning, do you have any instructions for us?"

Magellan, ever curious, inquired first upon hearing of Luo Ning's request.

"I'm taking you to an exceptional place. As my subordinates, strengthening yourselves is crucial," Luo Ning declared.

With that, Luo Ning led the group, including wardens of all levels and the director and deputy director, towards the training ground. Shiryu, who intended to escape after the battle, was the only one absent. Magellan had dealt with him swiftly, and Shiryu was currently imprisoned on the sixth floor.

After granting access to Magellan and the others, they entered the training ground. Luo Ning then explained the training ground's functions and characteristics, leaving them utterly astonished.

"Such a wondrous place... how can it exist here?"

The revelation of the training ground as a practically invincible tool left all of Impel Down's top executives speechless. Luo Ning wasn't concerned about a leak. The training ground's indestructibility, at least within this world, ensured its safety. Additionally, entry required Luo Ning's specific authorization, rendering knowledge of its location useless without it.

"It is a remarkable place indeed. But tell me, if I ever experience a bout of diarrhea in the future, could I simply enter here, use the facilities, and then return once finished?" Magellan suddenly what's on his mind.

"First, while you can experience diarrhea here, you'll need to clean it yourself. Second, this place consumes your lifespan. Ten hours inside is equivalent to passing through 1 hours outside."

"While the time compression saves some external world time, it's undeniably convenient. At least a significant amount of external time is saved.

"However, I have another point. I believe you should focus on improving your physique. While some Devil Fruits do have drawbacks, they're often overstated.

"By strengthening your body, you might not entirely eliminate the Devil Fruit's side effects, but it could weaken the toxin's influence on you."

Luo Ning had clearly lost the previous wager, and Magellan's diarrhea did indeed take an excessive amount of time. In his opinion, this was the most exaggerated side effect among all Devil Fruits.

One could say that nearly half of Magellan's life was spent on the toilet. Just thinking about it made him queasy. His fruit was undeniably a pain.

"I'll give it a shot!" Magellan received Luo Ning's determined response with a nod.

"With this training ground, you can efficiently handle your external workload and dedicate more time to training afterward."

Magellan's typical day consisted mostly of using the restroom and sleeping, with the remaining time dedicated to work. There was simply no opportunity for exercise amidst his daily routine.

However, within the training ground, Magellan would have ample time to train. This dedication could potentially alleviate the side effects of his Devil Fruit ability.

Having finished his instructions, Luo Ning departed, leaving the group to train. He himself needed a break after such a lengthy training session.

Luo Ning possessed a significant amount of remaining free points. He opted to utilize half of them for overall strengthening. Combat power was his top priority, requiring maximum enhancement. The remaining points were used to address the inherent flaws of Visionaries, such as distractions caused by fantasies and interruptions due to inattention.

Previously, Garp and Sengoku attempted to exploit these weaknesses by disrupting Luo Ning's focus. While Luo Ning could concentrate on one attack while ignoring the other, this strategy wouldn't work against opponents of equal caliber.

Therefore, Luo Ning invested a portion of his free points in optimizing his abilities. This freely-invested improvement, though not yet fully optimized, eliminated the need for intense concentration and allowed him to handle distractions without significant consequence.

That's the beauty of optimization.

Furthermore, his ability to imagine had expanded. While the previous multitude of clones provided significant fantasy power, Luo Ning still required the capacity to utilize it effectively. He could envision cosmic space, but it remained a purely imagined realm.

By enhancing his fantasy ability through optimization, Luo Ning's upper limit had been raised. He could now simultaneously envision a greater number of abilities. Overall, the optimization offered nothing but advantages.

His physical fitness and Reiatsu had also undergone significant improvement. Luo Ning estimated his current strength to be sufficient to effortlessly overpower Kaido and pummel him with a hammer. This represented an unimaginable level of power, with his physical strength, defense, and other aspects reaching a terrifying level.

On the other side, Luo Ning's clone come to Sky Island again.

Nami was diligently training her abilities, while Robin was simultaneously developing her own powers and immersing herself in Sky Island's historical collection.

Their tranquility was disrupted by Luo Ning's clones' arrival. Luo Ning, who rarely used Den Den Mushi, had neglected to equip them with a proper communication device. Consequently, news couldn't reach Sky Island.

However, both Nami and Robin felt a sense of relief upon the avatar's arrival. Nami's concern stemmed from her worry about Luo Ning's well-being. Robin, on the other hand, was relieved not for Luo Ning's sake, but for the sake of her own benefactor's survival.

Though Sky Island provided a natural barrier, Robin's primary goal remained finding historical texts. A strong enough Luo Ning, capable of resisting their enemies, would be beneficial for her. This would allow her to continue her search for these historical texts without fear of interference from the World Government.

Therefore, her relief stemmed from the continued presence of her benefactor.

The two avatars quickly departed Sky Island with Nami and Robin, returning to Impel Down. While sailing by ship would have been time-consuming, the avatar's ability to fly offered a much faster solution. With Luo Ning's current strength, his Fantasy Flight was incredibly swift. Additionally, Fantasy Protection ensured Nami and Robin's comfort during the flight.

Their return trip was swift, bringing Nami and Robin back to Impel Down. Robin initially felt apprehensive, but upon hearing a series of news, she was utterly shocked, and Nami was left utterly terrified.
