One Piece Dragon King - Chapter 7
Hals forced the [Pain Elixir] into each animal’s mouth, not letting a drop go to waste.
What if the animals refused?
It didn’t matter.
Just pry their mouths open.
What if they clamped their jaws shut?
Could their strength compare to Hals’s?
Impossible.
Hals easily made each animal experience pain.
“Feel the pain, experience the pain, accept the pain, understand the pain. Those who do not know pain will not know peace. From now on, let the world feel pain. Almighty, ah, I mean, Pain Elixir.”
As Hals spoke, he administered the elixir.
The animals didn’t understand why Hals had to ramble before giving them pain, nor did they know where he got the elixir. But that wasn’t the point.
This purple liquid was incredibly unpleasant to ingest.
Watching the animals’ painful, struggling, and helpless expressions, Hals felt delighted.
“Negative Emotion from Snake +90”
“Negative Emotion from Snake +90”
“Negative Emotion from Snake +90”
“Negative Emotion from Snake +90”
“Negative Emotion from Snake +90”
“Negative Emotion from Snake +90”
“Negative Emotion from Gorilla +90”
“Negative Emotion from Gorilla…”
…
“It’s refreshing so fast. Is it because they hate me too much, being in a cold environment and then drinking the [Pain Elixir]?”
Each animal’s negative emotions refreshed every five seconds.
It’s not that they got angry every five seconds; it’s just that the animals or the system could only produce negative emotions every five seconds.
But it didn’t matter.
Hals left the dark room and continued to meditate.
Before meditating, he prepared some food.
Then he continued his training.
Training in the meditation technique wasn’t tedious because time passed quickly, only interrupted by sudden hunger.
Hals woke up feeling hungry again, so he ate.
He cooked, then checked the dark room.
The ice on these creatures had melted a lot.
Dragon Breath.
“Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.”
The ice grew.
Dragon Breath.
“Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.”
The ice grew.
“Negative Emotion from Snake +30”
“Negative Emotion from Gorilla +10”
“Negative Emotion from Wolf +10”
…
It was time to change tactics. Freezing them with ice, making them immobile, wasn’t evoking many negative emotions anymore. The animals had grown accustomed to it.
So, should he kill them?
Forget it, let’s give them a dose of Almighty Push.
He administered more purple Almighty Push elixirs.
“Negative Emotion from Wolf +90”
“Negative Emotion from Wolf +90”
“Negative Emotion from…”
Good, no resistance to the elixir.
The system’s elixirs had no resistance, so that they could be used freely.
The animals became machines to generate negative emotions for Hals again.
Hals woke up every hour, but the elixir’s effect only lasted 500 seconds without a cooldown, making it feel like time wasn’t fully utilized.
It was frustrating.
Should he get an animal to help?
But he couldn’t trust them.
Forget it, he would manage for now.
A day passed.
Hals gained 1 in soul growth and 0.5 in physical strength. He became more adept at controlling natural elements.
The sand walls he created also became sturdier.
Hals thought for a moment and reinforced the sand walls further.
His dark room hadn’t reached its full potential yet.
The dark room wasn’t very sturdy, made of ordinary sand. There weren’t many stones on the beach, and Hals didn’t want to haul stones. Even if he did, he couldn’t make stone walls, so he kept freezing the animals with his breath.
The animals had now caught colds.
Night fell, and Hals needed sleep, but he decided to fill the dark room with more ice breath to prevent the animals from escaping.
I’m a genius.
System: “…”
No, you’re a devil.
Naturally, Hals harvested a lot of negative emotions.
“Negative Emotion from Snake +90”
“Negative Emotion from…”
…
It seemed these negative emotions only increased by 10, 20, 30, or 40, and Hals didn’t quite understand why.
Wait, after the boar drank the [Pain Elixir], it only gave 1 negative emotion per second.
What does this mean? The boar’s pain tolerance was high.
Hals looked at the tiger he had frozen, realizing it wasn’t the boar. The boar could easily kill this tiger with one swipe.
“Looks like the boar is indeed a local powerhouse.”
Hals thought.
The boar suddenly felt a chill.
Who is it? Who’s thinking about me?
It must be that gorilla king who’s been competing for territory. Tomorrow, I’ll go fight it.
Speaking of which, that human from yesterday was terrifying, beating me up so badly.
I’m one of the island’s rulers, yet I was beaten so miserably.
500 power level was already superhuman, capable of training in the Marine Six Styles. CP9’s Kumadori only had an 800 power level.
This meant Hals was already very powerful.
The boar only had a power level of 234, far from Hals’s level.
If Hals learned the Marine Six Styles, he wouldn’t fear any pirates. In the East Blue, besides the deceased Roger and Shanks’ crew, who was strong?
Moreover, they probably wouldn’t rob him if he met Shanks’ crew.
He had nothing worth stealing anyway.
A night passed.
Hals woke up to find it still dark outside. He had woken up early.
Morning.
Hals was puzzled.
Was his soul strength making sleep unnecessary?
Or was it excitement?
No matter, it didn’t matter.
Hals started a new day.
Generating negative emotions, then training.
That was Hals’s main task.
The ice sculptures in the dark room hadn’t melted yet, and Hals was too lazy to care. He made breakfast and went into the forest.
For example, seeing an animal and giving it a dose of love, ah, no, [Pain Elixir].
Yes, drink lots of water in the morning; [Pain Elixir] is perfect.
