That day, the rest of the kids showed up and began their training. They were set to do all sorts of exercises. Light simply went to his room to nap back then and that was it. He woke later and they told him about their experiences working out.
On the next day, Light got up and ate breakfast as usual. There were no classes today for the children, so they ate and prepared for training. However, all of them complained about the pain throughout their bodies.
While they went off and trained, Light gathered a few battle droids to guide him to the sea. The West Blue Sea wasn't at all far, so the trip was smooth sailing. However, Light couldn't be too sure, so he had bodyguards just in case.
Afterward, Light would head back home to begin his training. Ten days passed by quickly like this, and he felt his physique's strength increasing every time. Furthermore, Light had managed to get two devil fruits from signing in.
He received a special reward for his 11th sign-in because he signed in 7 days straight. Now, today was the tenth and final day at the West Blue Sea. He received another special award prior to his sign-in at the Mountain Base.
However, the eleventh special reward wasn't a devil fruit but a weapon.

The next day came around and he was currently standing next to the West Blue Sea Shore. The area by the sea was a beach with the ground filled with sand. Light was accompanied by Lian, who was adamant about following him.
Light didn't come out here without his Battle Droids, of course.
"Sign me in!"
[Ding! Signing into the West Blue Sea!]
[Congratulations, you've received (Shuttle Package x10)!]
"Shuttle Package, what's that?" Light immediately checked the description.
𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞: The user can place up to five items inside and have them delivered to anyone from anywhere. Once the target opens the package, images of what's inside the letter will flash through their mind. To send a package to a target, the user must know his or her name or face. The user may give the target the option to reply to his or her package message/gift.
"What? This is incredible! The items I've been getting are starting to get better." This item was too convenient for passing on packages and messages.
"There are a few people I wouldn't mind shuttling some mail to." Suddenly, Light remembered something and decided to save these packages for later.
Checking out his system storage, Light consumed all the pellets he received except the Will Pellets.
"Do you come here because you like the water?" Lian was quite afraid because she knew she couldn't swim. Despite that, Lian's abilities with her devil fruit have increased greatly.
"Yeah, the sea is really soothing to look at and be around. It can give one a sense of peace and tranquility." Light made up something and expressed it to Lian.
Lian gave an 'oh' before staring at the sea momentarily before speaking.
"Are we going to leave this place in the future, this island is still filled with those bad guys." Lian really wanted to feel peace, but those evil orphanage people couldn't let her rest happily.
"Hehe, we'll deal with them later before we leave. In fact, you'll be a special part of that operation."
Light explained to Lian what she would need to do when the time came. This was to ensure that no more children would suffer as they did.
No doubt, Lian was shocked and scared nearly to death when she heard Light's explanation. He wanted her to do all of that against a bunch of tyrants?
"What? Don't tell me you're scared?" Light looked Lian in the eyes and asked with a smile.
"I am scared," Lian said bluntly, there was no need to lie or downplay it.
"Hahaha, me too; this will be our first counterattack. You don't have to worry because we'll be together and we'll succeed."
Light didn't want her to feel this way because this would discourage her. He would also need her help with many things on this island. Light needed her to travel back and forth to the Orphanage with him to sign in.
"It will be okay, this will happen five days from now so you can prepare then. We'll go out to Grey Forest, and you can practice your skills there."
"Also, take these Pellets, you can consume them one at a time. These Pellets will assist you in honing your mental abilities to gain better control and understanding of your devil fruit."
Light thought this would be a good time to give her the Will Pellets. He only had 25 Will Pellets saved up since he consumed five the first time he received Will Pellets.
"What? These purple seeds will help develop the mind?" Lian was already talking big for her age, those classes were really helping their vocabulary.
"Yes, so consume it and grow; this will be our little secret." Light said with a smile.
"Our secret!" Lian's eyes sparkled before nodding quickly.
Light took out two chairs from the system storage for both of them. Lian slowly consumed each pellet, and she felt the results of each one she consumed.
After consuming every pellet, she felt that her mind had opened up a lot. These pellets can also train Haki, especially Observation Haki—according to the description. In Light's book, these Pellets became to be the most valuable of the bunch.
Lian suddenly gasped in surprise and said. "I discovered something new about my ability, haha!" Lian stood abruptly and said.
Right then, a lavender-purple mist appeared around Lian's hand. It looked like mist but it resembled clouds more.
"What's this stuff?" Light was stunned and questioned Lian.
"Hmm, this mist can fill a large area and cause drowsiness and hallucinations. Depending on how strong I am; the effects will grow." Lian also excitedly explained that she could even control who the mist would influence.
Light eyes brightened, if she could control who it influenced then it wouldn't affect her allies. It was possible to put a whole village to sleep with this mist, it was too amazing!
"What will call this mist?" Light asked.
"Let's call it...Dream Mist," Lian tapped her chin with her index finger while gazing upward.
"That's a good name, Dream Mist." Light nodded in agreeance, this name really suited such an ability.
Light wondered if he should allow Lian to cover these mountains with this mist. Anyone entering would fall asleep and may never wake up. Just the thought sent chills down Light's body, this ability was too dangerous.
If one's will weren't strong enough, you would surely die while sleeping!
"Let's go home for now, I'm sure everyone is training hard. We all need to grow stronger in a world pervading with danger."
"Yes, I'll continue to train my power, body, and mind," Lian said seriously, though it looked cute from Light's perspective.
Afterward, they quickly made their way back home with the Battle Droids. Once they were home, Lian and Light went toward the weight room.
It was the same as last time, there was a weight area and a large space the size of an NBA basketball court. Currently, everyone was running around the court to train their stamina under the guidance of T-1.
While Lian went to stretch, Light walked toward the center of the court. Light leaped in the air and kicked, this was his first time trying this technique.
With the muffles of air bursting from his feet, he took to the sky! Light had done it, he was finally able to use Geppo!
"What? Light is flying!" Everyone stopped and looked up in shock.
"This is the Technique we saw from the video demonstration the Android showed us."
"He's able to do it already, how long has he been training for?"
"Dang it! I have to keep training so that I can use this Technique!"
The kids clenched their little fists with determination unlike before. Seeing someone else succeed and the possibility that it could be them, insighted great motivation.
This was Light's first time actually trying it on the field. He usually practiced in his room a little but with no success.
However, with the combination of the gravity room and the physique pellets, his growth was swift.
Light had to use the Rejuvenation Beans, which worked like DBZ's Senzu Beans. The muscle would normally need to grow and it would be a painful process. Fortunately, the Rejuvenation Beans instantly developed and repaired the painful muscles after a harsh workout.
This allowed Light to triple, if not double his workout within the gravity room. He even up the gravity to 2 times from 1.2 times the gravity. Light was much stronger than he was a week ago.
An average adult wouldn't stand a chance, this included those above average adults. Not to mention his talent, his growth would surely skyrocket in time.
Even the Androids were surprised, this was totally out of their calculations. However, they had no idea that Light had Pellets and Beans that could enhance his growth speed.
"I finally did it, I can finally use Geppo!" Light was also extremely happy about his results. It was all thanks to those Rejuvenation Beans, they simply allowed him to triple his efforts after his exhaustion.
Light zigzagged through the sky before landing on the ground with a thud. Afterward, the kids ran over and congratulated him on his success.
"Light, that was amazing! Will we be able to do that if we train enough?" Atticus asked. Atticus had fiery orange hair and eyes, he was also older than Light by a year.
"Of course, once your body can withstand the gravity room you can use it. This would enhance your physique greatly, you'd be like a snowball at the top of a snowy mountain."
"We attempted to consult the robot, but it warned us that we might get crushed by the gravitational force. It mentioned that we lacked the necessary qualifications to enter the gravity room, and doing so would put us in danger."
Leona was a bit dissatisfied with the Android's reply at that time, but she knew it wasn't wrong.
"There's no need to rush, we're still super young and we'll get there one day. These things must be done one step at a time, or your bodies will be in danger." Light was speechless, why were they so restless?
However, this could be seen as a good thing, at least they weren't lazy.
"He's right! I'll build my stamina and body as much as I can. Only then will we be able to grow to new levels of strength." Cain stepped forward and agreed with Light's explanation.
"What? Then how did Light do it so fast?" Sarah wondered why this was so.
"I told you before, he's built differently; why haven't you noticed it yet?" Ricor sighed and said. He was one of those people who just accepted reality for what it was.
Everyone talked a bit more before going back to training, they would definitely work harder. In the meantime, Light went back to his room with a smile.
"Let's check the items I've received this week." Light sat on his bed and began to empty his storage onto his bed.
