Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 123 The Indestructible Body

"A new recruitment mission?!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Kyle's eyes.

"It's been such a long time!!"

"But this recruitment mission doesn't even specify 'genius'! What? Is our cute and arrogant Tanuki-sama not worthy of it?"

For some reason, Kyle couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Chopper's classic tsundere antics and the famous hide-and-seek scene from the original work.

They're getting another pet in their team.

Yes! Very good!!

Now I can pet my own pet!

After reading the recruitment details, Kyle continued to look down.

[Recruitment Reward: Immortal Body (Click for details)]

"Um?!"

Kyle let out a soft exclamation and pointed his finger at the Undying Golden Soul on the panel.

[An indestructible body: Unending stamina, an immortal physical form!!]

!!!

Kyle's pupils widened suddenly, and his mouth opened and closed involuntarily, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, unable to utter a single word.

But the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, until finally he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!! Haha, hahaha..."

The sudden burst of maniacal laughter startled Sabo, who was lying dead on the deck. He jumped up and looked at Kyle, who was laughing wildly in the distance, with a slight frown.

"Kyle, what's wrong with you?!"

Kyle did not answer him, nor did he intend to lecture him.

At this moment, his gaze was still focused on the line of text describing the Undying Golden Soul.

He really hadn't expected the rewards for recruiting Chopper to be so generous.

Although the introduction is only eight words long, the shorter the introduction, the stronger the effect!

Based on the information transmitted by the system, Kyle clearly knew what those eight words meant.

As long as his strength doesn't run out, his injuries will continue to heal until he's fully recovered.

This ability is somewhat similar to the immortality of the Five Elders, but it is not subject to the restraint of advanced Armament Haki and has no limitations!

Damn it!

Where's Whitebeard? Where's Kaido? Where's Big Mom?!

Come at me all at once, I'm not afraid at all!!

Once Kyle acquires this ability, he will have no worries when fighting anyone.

They traded injuries for injuries without the slightest hesitation!

Previously, whether it was the battle with Shiki or the battle with Kaido, Kyle had fought them all!

He almost never gets close to them in battle because he knows that's his weakness. If he gets close and they exploit his weakness, he's doomed.

Moreover, even when attacking from a distance, one must always activate Observation Haki to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.

In the world of One Piece, it's not uncommon for people to lose limbs in battle, and he certainly doesn't want to become disabled and receive disability benefits from the Navy.

Even though his physique is extremely strong, ordinary attacks cannot even break through his defenses, let alone sever his arms or legs.

But the problem is, it's better to be safe than sorry!

He didn't want to end up like Redhead, risking his life.

Therefore, Kyle has always been quite cautious in battle!

But this won't last much longer.

After he successfully recruits Chopper and obtains the ability of immortality...

Just!!

A real man faces things head-on, goes straight for the kill, and isn't afraid of anyone!

"Sabo, immediately take the helm, eight o'clock, full speed ahead!!"

"I'm taking you to get a pet!"

……

-

Meanwhile, on an island somewhere along the Grand Line.

There are several towering peaks here, shaped like magnetic drums, hence the island's name, Magnetic Drum Island.

Cigu Island has a cold and windy climate and is covered with ice and snow all year round, making it a world of silver and white.

The island is covered with vast coniferous forests, mainly distributed at the foot and middle of the mountains, adding a touch of green to the cold island.

At that moment, in a coniferous forest somewhere on the island, a figure was slowly trudging through the snow, with several wounds on his body.

Fresh blood kept seeping from the wound and dripping onto the snow.

He was somewhat robust, and his overall physique resembled a human.

But he is not alone.

It has brown, fluffy fur all over its body and looks like a gorilla.

His eyes were glazed over, and his exhaustion was palpable. The pain in his body made him want to just fall asleep in the snow.

But he couldn't do that.

These injuries on his body didn't just appear out of nowhere; if he had fallen asleep here, he might have lost his life!

"I……"

"I need to...find a slightly safer place to rest!!"

"Otherwise, if those people find me, I...I'll die!"

His voice came out barely audible.

He absolutely cannot fall here in order to survive.

But here, a voice suddenly rang in his ears, making his whole being... his whole ape tremble.

"If you can't persevere, you don't have to!"

!!!

In an instant, his pupils, which had already lost much of their luster, suddenly contracted, and he abruptly looked up in the direction of the sound. There he saw two young men standing not far from him, watching him.

"Who are you?!"

He immediately assumed a fighting stance, staring at the newcomer with extreme vigilance.

One of the men spoke up:

"My name is Kyle, and I'm a Marine! I'll be your future comrade!"

The newcomers were Kyle and Sabo, so the person in front of them was naturally Chopper.

"partner?!"

Chopper couldn't help but murmur, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, and wariness returned to his gaze.

"Are you here to kill me too?!"

"I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you!!"

"If you don't leave now, don't blame me later... don't blame me for being impolite!"

Chopper shouted, trying to act scary, but the tremor in his voice betrayed his true feelings.

"We mean you no harm! We're here to recruit you into the Navy and make you one of our comrades!"

Sabo, who was standing nearby, spoke to Chopper.

"I don't believe it!!"

Chopper couldn't help but yell, still watching the two of them with extreme vigilance.

Having been hunted by humans for so long, he could no longer trust them; they only wanted his life!

Seeing this, Kyle's eyes flickered slightly.

Looking at the bloodstains on Chopper's body, they knew that Chopper wouldn't be able to lower his guard against them so easily now.

This is normal, after all, Chopper only experienced being hunted down by humans, and never felt even the slightest bit of warmth.

It's perfectly normal to be hostile towards humans!

In the original work, Hiluluk almost stripped naked to gain Chopper's trust, and only then did he barely manage to earn Chopper's trust.

He certainly wouldn't adopt Hiruluk's approach.

But that doesn't mean he has no solution. Kyle simply raised his hand slightly.

The next second, intense purple lightning flashed in his palm...
