On the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, sat in the grand hall. The division commanders stood to the side, all summoned by Pryce.
"Pryce, what's going on?" Marco asked with a furrowed brow. The entire Moby Dick was shrouded in gloom due to Ace capture, and it was rare for so many to gather like this!
If it weren't for Pryce calling each division commander via Den Den Mushi to announce a new invention, they would likely still be training in various places, waiting to confront the Marines and rescue Ace!
At that moment, a golden-purple light suddenly flashed. It was none other than Red-Haired Shanks! Because of Pryce words, Shanks had wholeheartedly begun searching for the materials needed to create high-grade Senzu Beans! And for convenience, Pryce had naturally crafted an intermediate teleportation talisman for Shanks.
Now that the Time Chamber had been invented, Pryce naturally wanted Shanks, the unparalleled physical combatant among the Four Emperors, to give it a try!
"Shanks, you sure got here quickly!" Whitebeard said with a laugh.
"Of course! When our great inventor Pryce comes up with something new, I naturally have to show up to support!" Shanks replied cheerfully.
"Since everyone's here, follow me to a special place!" Pryce pulled out a teleportation talisman from his pocket, and the golden-purple light enveloped everyone, transporting them to a cave.
Inside the cave, everyone was stunned by the sight of a snow-white, hemispherical structure.
"Is this your new invention?" Shanks asked curiously.
"Wait a second, Pryce!" Before Pryce could answer, Shanks sensed something unusual about him.
"Kid, it feels like your strength has grown significantly!"
"Just half a month ago, when we last met, you definitely weren't this strong!" Shanks words immediately caught the attention of Whitebeard and his division commanders.
Indeed, now that Shanks mentioned it, they could feel the immense power radiating from Pryce body! However, since they were often around Pryce, the change wasn't as noticeable to them as it was to Shanks.
"Hahaha, Captain Shanks, you hit the nail on the head!" Pryce clapped his hands in admiration.
"The reason my strength has improved so quickly is closely tied to this new invention of mine!" Pryce patted the Time Chamber beside him and said with a smile.
"This little white house can make your strength grow rapidly?" Marco asked skeptically. After all, when it comes to strength, the further you go, the harder it becomes to improve! Many people have been stuck at their current level for years, unable to make any progress!
"Now, let me formally introduce my new invention—the Time Chamber!"
"And what has allowed my strength to grow so rapidly is its gravity system!" Pryce explained with a grin.
The term "gravity" was no stranger to them.
After all, some of them had been wearing heavy bracelets or clothes made of special materials for years, training tirelessly to increase their strength and speed! However, these can only be used by those with lower strength. Once one strength reaches a certain level, these become practically useless!
"How much gravity can this room handle?" Diamond Jozu asked seriously.
"The gravity units here aren't measured in kilograms or tons!"
"It's determined by multiples!"
"Let me preface this by saying that I can barely move at Five hundred times gravity!" Pryce explained with a chuckle.
"Only Five hundred times?" Shanks picked his nose and said with a laugh.
"Kid, just give me the maximum!"
"What's the highest multiple in this room?" Shanks patted Pryce shoulder and asked casually.
"The highest can reach eight hundred times!" Pryce replied seriously.
"Let's do it, let's do it!" Shanks didn't hesitate and immediately walked into the room. The others followed suit. This time chamber was divided into an outer room and an inner room. The inner room was where time and gravity were controlled, while the outer room had a transparent glass wall to observe the inside.
"Captain Shanks, are you sure about eight hundred times?" Pryce asked with some concern. Although Shank' physical prowess was formidable, jumping straight to the maximum gravity might be too much to handle!
"Come on, come on!" Shanks was clearly in high spirits.
"Alright, I'll activate it!" Pryce sighed.
If he gets injured, I'll just feed him a Senzu Bean.
Sure enough, when Pryce pressed the confirm button, Shanks, who had been smiling and jumping around, instantly changed his expression! In the next moment, he was forcefully pressed to the ground!
Everyone was stunned by this scene! Was the gravity really that terrifying? At eight hundred times, Shanks couldn't even move?
Instantly, beads of sweat the size of peas began rolling down Shanks' forehead.
"I should probably lower it for him," Pryce said, preparing to adjust the settings.
Whitebeard hand reached out, shaking his head at Pryce.
Pryce had no choice but to stop.
"Shanks can't even move under eight hundred times gravity!"
"Five hundred times would probably kill us!" The division commanders chattered.
"He's moving!" Whitebeard Newgate said softly.
Indeed, after crawling for a while, Shanks began to push himself up with his hands, his muscles bulging with veins! Sweat poured down like a stream! His arms and legs trembled uncontrollably! Finally, apart from his hands and feet, Shanks'body lifted off the ground.
The crowd outside couldn't help but cheer him on!
"Ahhhhh!" Shanks roared.
At last, he sat up! But his arms, supporting his body, began to shake violently! Sure enough, the next second, Shanks was pressed back to the ground by the eight hundred times gravity.
Pryce quickly turned off the gravity.
Inside the inner room, Shanks instantly felt a wave of relief wash over his body.
Pryce quickly walked in and placed a Senzu Bean into Shanks' mouth. Not long after, Shanks fully recovered and stood together with the others.
"Incredible, truly incredible!"
"This 800 times gravity is really something!" Shanks scratched his head and spoke with deep emotion.
"But that's not even the most impressive part!" Pryce said with a smile.
