All For The Grind

Somewhere In The Savanna, East Africa

Lucille looked at her reflection in a small reservoir, her mind going back to the last couple of hours. She still could not believe she was a wielder of all these incredible powers. What gave her even more joy is that even though Garp and Kamikaze might have reached their prime, she felt she had not even began to feel it. This meant she could go stronger than she already was.

"But first, time to test everything I have," she said with a resolute look. "I have already tried Kamikaze's sword play and Garp's Haki. Time to test my new found strength and speed."

Taking a deep breath in, she took off, her foot actually leaving a crater where it kicked off! She could actually see and react to every obstacle in front of her to the very much minute things like stumps of shrubs that would have tripped her more that thrice. She cruised around the savannah in speeds so fast the animals did not even know how to react to her. She came to a stop at the pond and she analysed everything.

"So, not lightspeed but my speed is very close! That is insane but then, Garp was in a world where Barsolino was able to move in light speed and would be capable of defeating him! It would be Observation and Armament Haki working but still, to be able to keep Barsolino on his toes would be because he is fast. Now, how strong am I?" she asked herself. She clenched a fist and looked at the ground solemnly.

"Today there will be reports of an earthquake for the first time in East Africa. Batman is very perceptive and might figure out it was me. But, it's not like I'm afraid of him, as long as he doesn't turn into the Batman who laughs," Lucille told herself. With a grunt and putting everything she got into the blow, she punched the ground below her with nothing but raw strength.

BOOM!

As if an atomic bomb just went off, the ground exploded, soil povurized in the blink of an eye and a shock wave that decimated everything in it's wake. Lucille was watching the outcome from seven miles away in the air, and she was mesmerized by the destruction she created. In an hour, a crater the size of Britain was seen as a scar left behind by her actions. Water and lava were fighting for domination over the crater, making the scene look like a weird mix of a geyser and an eruption.

"So powerful! A crater bigger than the size of Alabasta if we use One Piece Islands as a source! Holy shit!" Lucille gawked at the crater. The ring on her finger shine bright twice, as if saying it was in disbelief at her raw power too. "No wonder Superman was hurt, that kick was my full power mixed with Armament Haki and him having his guard down made him suffer," Lucille realized. She looked around and sighed, noting her practice ground was destroyed, before she realized she might have destroyed a whole ecosystem and a country or two regarding at where she was.

"Shit, this might make the Justice League to come after me with hostility! I'm Immortal but dumping me in a lake of lava will trap me there forever or things like that! I need to escape here and fast!" she said.

She willed herself to fly away, her destination North Africa, mainly Sahara Desert. The reason why she is always chosing the African continent as a place to hide out was because it was the only place where there were no overbearing presence of CCTVs and minimal satellite spying. Especially in the middle of a desert, what would the US or Russian government possibly be in to start surveying a desert?

"Alright, time for the grind to start. I'm going to train till every bones in my body break then like a pheanix I will be reborn, stronger than before!" she said, a crazy grin on her face. "And all of this will be possible because of you, partner." She caressed the Lantern Ring on her left hand middle finger lovingly. "Now, time to grind!"

Lucille did a few stretching exercises before she got to it. First of, she willed to have weights of a few thousand tonnes which she started lifting with gusto. After working up some sweat, she willed a weighted clothes of the same mass as before and started working on her speed. After that, she would start practicing Kamikaze's sword play with the clothes still on. After that, she would work on Sonic's training methods to increase her speed and lithe in battle. She found it the most challenging due to her strength and durability which made her body slightly more rigid but all for the grind, right?

When she was done, she would go to Garp's training which was torture on its own. Literary, she actually died! She had underestimated the magnitude of the training and was crushed by the weight while finishing up. But, it came as a boon because due to her physique, when she was revived, she was actually stronger than before, by how much she had no idea. And thus, the grind truly began.

She had died a total of twelve times on the second day and each time she sprung back picking more heavier weights and doing even more dangerous exercises. As long as she killed herself or got killed while training, she would be back with no deformities and stronger than before.

On the third day, she was pushing a few hundreds of tonnes and she might have become numb to dying. Craig Hollis, the man who she got her mutation from, would go into a berserk rage everytime he died and came back due to the pain. But, her willpower would cut diamonds due to how strong it was. She acknowledged dying was just a mere inconvenience to the greater picture of becoming a planet ravaging motherfucker! The ring itself was encouraging her to get even stronger due to how fast their bond had become. It might be due to her rise in Haki which was due to her constant use of them.

Due to her tenacity and stamina dwarfing the one Garp and Kamikaze combined had, she was now keeping her Observation, Armament and Conqueror Haki open all the time she was training. Forget ten seconds, she could now see half a minute into the future which helped her prepare mentally to her deaths. Her Armament Haki lost its black colour and started becoming red, signifying just how horrible her physique had become!

"For the grind!" she convinced herself, picking up weights worth the weight of the Himalayas. The sand of the Sahara Desert would have already swallowed her when she started lifting the weights but the platform made from the Lantern Ring helped a lot.

Three weeks passed and Lucille found she had was becoming a very much muscle head. While before she was on the lean side, this time she might have the same physique if she was given Steve Roger's version of the Supersoldier Serum. She was staring at her reflection on a pond in an oasis and she was pleased by what she saw.

Due to her immortality, while not Deadpool's, she would pretty much heal back to the optimal state her body would be. That meant that is she shredded her muscles and died, she would come back alive, the muscles healed and stronger than before, her body's way of dealing with trauma. And she had abused the heck out of this hack and it paid off. She might not be planetary level but she was very sure she was a continental level and not like the continent of Australia but like Asia or Africa as far as she could guess. Her whole body was filled with power and she was itching to test it out.

"A test subject approaches," she grinned when she felt something pass through her Observation Haki. "Too bad they are the Young Justice kids, someone like Wonder Woman or Shazam would be a good reference to how powerful I have become. But, beggars cannot be choosers, let's see what these kids want."
