Getting stronger

A few days passed and they have initially adapted to their powers. SanderSonia and MariGold have adapted to their soaring strength, Hancock is able to restrain her charm and stop knocking Michael into daze every now and then.

As for Michael, he has also made great progress. After many experiments he has discovered a kind of cloud which can absorb and store sunlight. It is the grey coloured flat cloud he is using as a mattress. The sunlight stored in this cloud can double his strength and recovery. But the problem is that it cannot stone much, it is only enough for him to use for one hour without stoping. But this is enough for him now, he just need this power to help in training. He also experimented whether cloud can carry others and it turned out that it can.

"" Michael, faster.. Faster... Don't stop!!! ""

"Haaa.... Haaaa.... I am trying...."

Panting and voices of girls were heard from inside the room. Nothing unsightly for children was happening inside the room, Michael was just doing push ups while Hancock was sitting on his back as weights and two other girls were cheering from the sides. Michael was already panthing and drops of sweets keeps falling on the ground.

After a while Michael lay flat on the floor unable to move and Hancock is wiping his sweats. These days the three sisters has been very enthusiastic about him. They even stole some food from the kitchen for him, to which Michael strictly warned them not go do it again. He doesn't need extra food for his training, he can directly recover by absorbing sunlight. For him food is more of a nutrition than for energy supply.

"It's great Michael, today you did 10 more push ups. Hehe it won't be long before we escape from this place", Hancock said cheerfully. With hope for escape, these days doesn't seem to be much painful anymore. And Michael is the one who gave them hope so she tries to help him as much as she can.

Michael is also in blissful pain at this moment. He is breaking his limits every day and there is a beautiful girl accompanying him but it still didn't take away the pain.

"We have to be more careful these days. Don't try to take any risks like you did when you stole food from the kitchen. Now we just need to wait patiently. And all of you also have to train with me. Remember Hancock, in this world strength is the only truth" Michael said seriously.

In the following days Michael continued his intense training every night and the girls also joined him. Michael didn't let the girl train intensely like him, they mostly practiced controlling their devil fruit powers. He just hope that they can have some self protection ability in case something goes wrong.

At first he was only able to carry Hancock and do 50 pushups but after a month Hancock had already become a useless tool man. He was able to do a thousand push ups with her. So SanderSonia and MariGold also joined her on his back. His training intensity increased again and his strength also steadily increased. He also didn't skip leg day but the conditions were limited and he could not do more intense training.

He didn't forget to collect information while training. He found a troublesome thing that the key to the explosive collar is in the hands of Celestial Dragons. Every Celestial Dragon has a group of slaves of their own and owns a master key and they belong to the Rosward's family. So, if he wants to steal the key he has to infiltrate the Rosward's manor which is very risky. But he turned this into motivation and increased his training.

During the day, he trained his devil fruit ability whenever he got a chance and the night is all about physical training. How much stamina he has will determine how far he can get away from this place so he dare not relax on training his body. Time flew very fast while he was concentrating on strengthening himself.

...

Half a year later

"Haaa.... Haaa..... 4950,4951,49.....,4981,.."

From inside a room a low panting was heard followed by an exhausted voice counting numbers.

Inside the room Michael was panting hard doing push ups and on his back was a bed on which two huge snakes coiled together. This is the exercise he thought of after he found out that the weight of the three girls is too light for him. The two snakes are SanderSonia and MariGold, both of them combined together to weigh around 1ton.

This is not only an exercise for him it is also for the two girls. They not only have to try to fit their huge bodies on the bed but also have to keep it balanced. This helped them to get used to their animal form quickly. Hancock is also exercising her ability on the side.

They have all grown a lot in the past months. Not only their strength but also their bodies. Michael is already 200cm tall with a masculine body and broad shoulders, a narrow waist and huge chest muscles. His arms are already as big as Hancock's thigh.

The ones who grew the most were SanderSonia and MariGold, they have already caught up with Michael's height while Hancock is small compared to them at a height of 170 cms. But Hancock's beauty has been increasing in the past months. Her figure is developing towards the future Pirate Empress. Now it is already difficult to hide her beauty even if she covers herself with dirt which has started to attract some attention.

But they breathe a sigh of relief because it has started to get colder in the past few days. They are excited at the same time because it means that their countdown to escape has begun.

"5000.. Pheww... I am exhausted. Get down you two, are you trying to crush me"

With a final count Michael collapsed on the floor and said to the two girls who were still sitting on him.

"Who told you to suddenly collapse, we weren't prepared. But, we win again!! You are too weak Michael, we crush you again" They quickly changed themselves to human form and gloated at Michael. This is a little game between them to see if Michael collapses first or they fall down first.

Michael also showed an annoyed expression. At first he used to beat them easily but as they got used to their animal form it became more and more difficult and now they began to beat him instead.

"It's getting colder and colder these days and the foggy weather should be coming soon, are you guys ready" Michael quickly changed the topic.

"" We can't wait to go home""

"Yesterday a CP agent came to kitchen to select girls again. He didn't choose me but i think he noticed something, he looked at me for a long time. I am worried, Michael, if something happened to me, take my sisters to quickly escape from here" Hancock also came to help him wipe his sweat when she saw him collapse and spoke to him in a worried tone. She is worried that their plan to escape will fail because of her.

"Don't worry Hancock, I won't let anything happen to you. Even if the CP comes to take you, you have to remember that i will surely come to save you. You have to delay time and wait for me. We will escape from this place together, I will never leave you behind. Even if something bad happens at most we will die together."

Seeing her worried expression Michael looked into her eyes and said in a serious tone. He really meant what he said, he will not leave behind this beautiful girl who has been taking care of him all these time. Maybe deep down in his heart he has already developed affection for this girl.

Living together for months, laughing and playing and taking care of each other, he already considered them as his most precious family in this world. Thinking about the year he spent huddling in a corner, crying and weeping alone with no one to rely on; the last few months felt like heaven even in this sinful place.

"Let's not think of these depressing things. Have you thought about what you will do after you leave this place. My plan is to find a quiet place to get stronger."Michael quickly try go change the depressing atmosphere.

"I want to become the Captain of Kuja Pirates. Do you know Kuja Pirates, Michael. It is a super strong pirate group from our island. Do you want to join too" Hancock showed a haughty expression when she talk about the kuja pirates.

"" We want to help our big sister""

Michael thought if he should quickly agree and let this rich women support himself but quickly snapped out of this imaginary beautiful future. Kuja pirates is a pirate group with only females, what is he going to do in it. He doesn't want to be the only husky among a group of wolves.

"Well well, you arrogant girl, you finally expose yourself. I know you are thinking of tricking me into your island and locking me up in a small room and keep me for yourself. You are greedy for my body, I will not agree, I will resist...unless you promise to support me till I die" Michael made an aggrieved expression at Hancock as if she had bullied him.

"Whatttt!!!.....I do not!! I am not!!" Hancock face turned red and shouted back

"Then you mean you don't me anymore. Are you going to kick me out after you get home." Michael has an even more aggrived face, his 200cm tall body even trembled a little.

'Oh! When did I become so good at acting'

"When did I say I don't want you!!!" Hancock was a little panicked at this moment. Michael also knows he should stop at this moment

"Haha..I was just joking with you. Why is your face so red? Are you really greedy for my body? It's OK, you can take it, I won't resist"

"Blahhh.... You are the one greedy for my body. Do you think I don't see you peeking at me when I was training.. " Hancock quickly countered before escaping.

Michael was left standing with an embarashed face but quickly change to confidence.

'Aren't you also greedy for my body' his confidence got boosted again and he returned to his bed under the disgusted eyes of two other girls. As they say, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, the two girls only felt disgusted when they saw a 200cms big man acting like a little girl.

There were no other exciting episodes that night and they slept peacefully.
