Although there were clauses that would provide those perks, it was still not encouraged for any of them to put themselves at risk for the sake of ensuring their loved ones lived a better life.
It was more frowned upon as it would be a waste of resources that would have been used to nurture them, and what would be required to nurture someone else to take their place.
The assistance that Jeff could bring to the team was not just what he and Alfred had mentioned, as there were many ways to make use of his strength on land or at sea, whether it was assisting with heavy lifting or providing combat assistance.
His body was like a big obstruction, and his muscular body made him quite durable, so his assistance in and out of combat was required. His knowledge of the body, when it came to training and other techniques like body massages, would be effective for providing a better environment for the growth of the team.
Each of the members had skills of their own and made use of the White Storm facilities, like how there were gym memberships available, so they already experienced rapid growth in a short time, but Jeff was reported to be the fastest to improve.
His progress was noticed, so he was given a job in that gym branch where he received training as one of the instructors before becoming one of the more capable instructors there.
It soon became the time for him to open his box, and he pulled out a bodysuit that came with some vials containing some colourful liquids.
Alfred pointed to them. "The suit will provide extra protection and resistance. It is made from a material that adapts to your body. As for the rest… it has been decided that you will be given something else.
Anyone here can gain certain benefits later if they earn them, so there are opportunities to gain more. Jeff may not have been offered a Devil Fruit, so he has been given these exclusive serums that are not available to others.
Having too many Devil Fruit users would be dangerous at sea, so there needs to be some among you who are capable of swimming. Now on to the serums by the most dangerous. Red is a berserker. Yellow is strengthening. Green is nurturing.
Berserker, as it sounds, grants immediate but temporary power to be used in a crisis, as it puts a strain on the body. Strengthening is a one-use serum that can permanently boost the physique. Nurturing aids in training the body.
The effects of the green and yellow serums only work once, while they differ in effects and durations. Green is used to nurture growth through training for as long as it lasts, so think of it like a training aid, but it has more potential than yellow."
Jeff held them thoughtfully before replying. "So green is the best and safest serum so long as it is made full use of. Yellow is a permanent and immediate boost, but has less growth."
Alfred nodded in approval. "Yes. I would advise making full use of the green serum first. Save the yellow serum for a time when you struggle to get any stronger or need immediate power. The red serum is more of a temporary last resort."
Each of the serums had been developed by Alyssia and Tristan to aid training and maximise the potential of others, allowing faster growth in power.
The various serum recipes and techniques gained from the scientists from the space groups' adventures had been very useful toward understanding how to develop those types of things that could enhance or nurture potential or special abilities.
That was when the idea came to develop three different serums that would provide a balanced improvement to the physical body.
The green serum was developed to aid in tempering and nurturing the body, but the effects would only linger for as long as it was absorbed into the body.
The most efficient way to absorb it all and make full use of it was to train and work out so that it could have more of an effect.
It was balanced in a way that it worked on all parts of the body, allowing balanced training and even got to some areas that could usually be more fragile.
The internal organs, skin, muscles, bones and just about everything would feel the effects from the green and yellow serums, allowing the body to become far stronger and durable.
