Chapter 17: Same result

Like Zoro, in the original work, he only used weight training to strengthen his body, but he was able to wield barbells weighing several tons, which would have been impossible in Qin Ge's previous life.

In addition, it was often seen in the original work that even some low-level pirates could easily shatter rocks with their fists, which seemed to indicate that it was simple for people in the world of One Piece to improve their strength.

Faced with this situation, Qin Ge naturally had many speculations and associations. In the past few days, after practicing the Rokushiki, he quickly found some answers.

If we liken a person to a machine, then to make the machine work, it needs power, and for humans, food is like a power source.

It's known that during intense training, people naturally experience significant energy consumption, and only by replenishing rich nutritional food can they sustain this consumption.

And if the food contains unimaginably rich nutrients, it not only sustains consumption but can also nourish and improve the body.

Under the practice of the Rokushiki, Qin Ge naturally exerted great physical strain, requiring a large amount of food to replenish. Therefore, in the past few days of his life in the base, he ate a lot of food prepared by the chefs in the base. It was precisely because of this that he ultimately focused on food as the source.

In the original work, it was often seen that the strength in the world of One Piece would frequently hunt terrifying sea kings or beasts and eat them as food. Moreover, their appetites were astonishing, often being able to consume food several times or even dozens of times their weight.

The reason Qin Ge focused on food as the source was because he discovered that the ingredients in this world seemed to contain unimaginable nutrients. While practicing the Rokushiki, he never experienced any signs of nutritional deficiency. On the contrary, his progress in cultivation was unexpectedly rapid, far from the slow progression described in the techniques.

Qin Ge had reason to suspect that if there was spiritual energy in this world, then the spiritual energy in the world of One Piece must be abundant, which led to the ingredients growing in this world becoming exceptionally nutritious under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

Ordinary people who hadn't undergone training wouldn't be able to perceive it, but if they underwent intense training, ingredients with abundant nutrients would produce astonishing effects. It was as if even rough training could help people develop extraordinary physical strength.

"The world of One Piece can be considered a paradise for the strong in a certain sense, but it's also a good thing for me!" Qin Ge silently thought as he continued to practice the Rokushiki and endure the physical challenges.

The ingredients containing extraordinary and rich nutrients are like treasures of the martial arts world. Although there are no such things as "Gourmet Cells" in this world, they are enough to allow Qin Ge's cultivation in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to advance by leaps and bounds, even with the hope of reaching the unprecedented thirteenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.

Moreover, these are just ordinary ingredients purchased by a Marine branch. If the ingredients were replaced with Sea Kings or powerful beasts, the nourishing effect on the body would undoubtedly be even more remarkable.

It is worth noting that Qin Ge specifically inquired about the head chef at the base, who had exceptional culinary skills. He had previously been assigned to the Marine Headquarters for several years and had only semi-retired to return to his hometown and serve as the head chef in the base due to his advanced age.

From the chef's mouth, Qin Ge also learned that there is a specialized hunting team in the Marine Headquarters located in Mariejois. This team is responsible for capturing Sea Kings and powerful beasts from various places to provide ingredients for consumption within the Marines.

It can be imagined that even ordinary ingredients contain abundant nutrients, and the Sea Kings and powerful beasts with vigorous vitality naturally have even more astonishing nutrients within their blood and flesh. Otherwise, the Marine Headquarters would not have gone to such great lengths to establish a hunting team.

Although Qin Ge has not yet been to the Marine Headquarters, he is already eagerly anticipating the food there.

In the following days, Qin Ge mostly focused on cultivation. As for Robin, she naturally moved into the base as well.

After demonstrating her abilities with the Hana Hana no Mi, Robin gained recognition from Colonel Dief and was recommended along with Qin Ge to their superiors.

Speaking of which, Colonel Dief had already informed Qin Ge about the time to go to the Marine Headquarters.

Because the warships dispatched by the Marine Headquarters need to transport outstanding talents recommended from various West Sea bases to Mariejois, it will take some time. It will probably take half a month to arrive at Lovisar Island.

However, Qin Ge did not wait for the Marine Headquarters' warship but instead received bad news.

"Robin, why? Why did the World Government destroy Ohara? What was wrong with Professor Clover and everyone researching the true history!" Robin cried and threw herself into Qin Ge's arms, sobbing with grief.

Qin Ge remained silent and could only hold the crying girl tightly, providing her with warmth and comfort.

Changing the trajectory of history is indeed very difficult. Just this morning, the latest newspaper brought by News Coo featured the destruction of Ohara on its front page.

As a renowned archaeological holy site, the destruction of Ohara naturally caused countless shocks.

Although the newspaper stated that Ohara was destroyed by a terrible natural disaster, Qin Ge and Robin, who understood the reasons behind it, naturally knew that the World Government had taken action, and the situation turned out to be the worst-case scenario they had anticipated.

"Did we fail again!" Qin Ge sighed inwardly. Although he had warned Professor Clover, he ultimately failed to eliminate the World Government's fear of that blank century of history and they chose to expose it by destroying Ohara.

Qin Ge was still unaware of what exactly happened during that blank century of history that made the vast World Government so fearful. However, from the outcome of Ohara's destruction, he once again felt a sense of insignificance.

In this world where the strong are respected, ultimately, strength determines everything. The destruction of Ohara was not only because of Professor Clover and others researching the true history but also because they did not have enough power to ensure their safety.

Of course, where there is bad news, there is also good news. The newspaper did not mention any information about Qin Ge and Robin, proving that they had not been detected by the World Government, thus avoiding the crisis of being pursued.

Feeling the trembling and sobbing girl in his arms, Qin Ge couldn't help but take a deep breath. His eyes revealed a strong desire, the pursuit of great power.
