Chapter 28: The General Returns, Against Xiuzuo!
Navy Headquarters, half past one in the afternoon.
Confrontation training was a necessary training course for almost every faction, and Ron had participated in it before, but at that time, he could not compete with the recruits of the same period without using the Thunder Fruit. Not to mention experience and skills, physical fitness alone is enough to distance one, the foundation is weak, and there is no comparison.
But now it's different, even if he doesn't use the fruit ability, the power in that body is enough to make the recruits desperate! Compared to the pure fruit ability, Ron is a guy who pays more attention to physical development than Devil Fruits. He would rather let his body drive the development of the fruit than become a waste man who is nothing without the fruit!
Self-challenge is not simply the pursuit of destruction......
When Ron arrived in the plaza, the Colosseum seats were already full of people who had come to watch the test. It is worth mentioning that at this time they all changed directions...... During the morning test, the seats of the test bench were cut in a circle and stretched left and right to form an arc, encircling the square in front of it that was large enough to accommodate 100,000 people!
A huge square with a towering platform. On each platform, there is an instructor standing on his feet, with his hands behind his back, sitting on the platform. They are responsible for protecting recruits from fatal injuries during confrontation training, and they also work as referees to determine the winner or loser.
When the recruit team entered under the leadership of Zefa, the cheers resounded in the sky!
"Come on! Little bunnies! ”
"Remember, hit him! Beat him up! ”
"Hahaha! Ron, I'm optimistic about you!! ”
In addition to cheering, officers at all levels privately discussed which recruits in this issue deserve their attention...... The navy is just an iron plate to the outside world, and it can put down all contradictions in front of pirates, this is an iron law! However, there are factions within the country, and the hawks and doves are just one big mainstream, and more are different naval giants, competing with each other openly and secretly, attracting talents and seeking benefits for the family.
The navy has a similar history as the world government, standing on the sea for hundreds of years, and the children and grandchildren are all serving in the navy, and there is no faction distinction is a joke.
And in this world where the strong are respected, those real potential stocks, such as Ron, a genius natural system who may ascend to the general seat in the future, befriending him are infinitely beneficial to the family.
"Hey, Stein, what do you think of that Zorro?"
"It's a good material, but I've been a little lacking lately, and I don't know what's wrong......"
"Is Ron here? The little imp of the Quest family will definitely go to help his father, if we can ......"
"Save it! With the Marshal's attention to Ron, how could he possibly allow us to co-opt Ron! ”
"Tsk, too! Then you can only mix it up......"
"Who's to say it isn't!"
It is impossible for successive admirals not to know about the formation of gangs under their subordinates, but they have never suppressed them excessively. Because they know that even in this world of the strong, they can't solve everything with their fists...... For example, there is a mosquito lying on Jebbel.
As long as you don't touch things that shouldn't be touched, then the Warring States are too lazy to take care of it.
For example, a blind person can see that Ron's future is extremely bright, and such a person cannot stand in the navy. The Warring States and the World Government will not allow him to stand in line and become the banner of a certain family, causing that family to become dominant.
Moreover, it is more conducive to rule than a subordinate whose heart is twisted into a rope to dominate controllable disputes.
It has nothing to do with good or evil, this is just the wisdom of a superior person.
When Sengoku sat in the first place, the colonel officer took the stage and began to clarify the rules. There is not much difference from the rules of confrontation training, and the biggest change is only three points.
First, it is not allowed to deliberately kill people, and those who violate the order will be expelled from the navy and never hired!
Second, it is forbidden to operate in the dark, buy opponents, and those who violate the order will be expelled from the navy and never hired!
Third, it is not allowed to deliberately interfere with other people's competitions, and those who violate the order will be expelled from the navy and never hired!
There will be no such severe punishment as expulsion from the navy and never being hired, and the same foul will be a conviction at most. Purely due to the seriousness of today's occasion, the Navy needs to be more disciplined!
After a brief commentary, the colonel-officer announced: "Now...... Confrontation test, let's go!! ”
"So...... I'll go to ...... first."
Ron looked around, and under the twitching gaze of the recruits, he turned into thunder and moved quickly, and ordinary people could only judge through the mottled light and shadow left by the retina.
Even though he hadn't learned the Navy Six yet, Ron's movement speed was just as fast and terrifying!
"...... that?"
"It's Ron! I didn't expect him to be the first to go up! ”
"Go up...... That's fine, too! Anyway, just sit and play......"
"Hahaha! It's also said that these little guys can't do anything about nature! ”
There are hundreds of recruits in the new barracks, and they are facing each other one by two, so you don't have to do anything today, you can just sit in place and watch the game! Therefore, the process of the competition has been adjusted to a certain extent, and it can be summed up as follows...... High platform snatch battle!
The duration is two hours, and the number of raised platforms is 30. In the end, those who were still standing on the stage at the end of the time were the top 30 in the new barracks. After that, fifteen groups were arranged to fight in pairs, and the first place was decided by this column, and the end was almost exactly eight or nine o'clock.
"Wait! Something is wrong! ”
The sharp-eyed man suddenly spoke, carefully counted the number of high platforms, and then exclaimed: "Why is there one less, only 29 platforms?!" ”
"Nani? Hiss...... Really! ”
With only 29 platforms, doesn't it mean that there are only 14 groups of winners to fight against?
There is also one person, either by bye, and directly promoted. Either......
"Hey, it's ......"
Looking at Ron's salted fish face, it was obvious that he had noticed this as well. The onlookers who came to watch the performance looked back at Zefa and the man moving his muscles and bones beside Zefa, and the corners of their mouths twitched......
Now, there's a good show to watch!
……
"Poofhahahaha!! Discharge imp, you also have today!! ”
Karp's signature hearty laughter echoed in the quiet big guy area, the sound was so loud and deafening, Sengoku raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Be quiet Karp!" ”
"Oh......"
Ignoring the noodle droppings, Karp looked back at Ron and "poofed" again, spraying the doughnut crumbs all over the floor.
"Hahahaha! But...... But...... It's so funny!! ”
"Ahh
Suddenly, a figure slowly walked up to the high platform. He has fluffy black hair, a tall and long figure, wears a white pony coat and a blue shirt, and his blazer is lazily slung over his shoulders, exuding an air called "listlessness" all over his body.
"Huh?"
Hearing the voice, Karp looked back and smiled, "Kuzan is back so soon?" ”
That's right!
The person who came was one of the strongest combat forces of the Navy Headquarters, Kuzan, who went to sea to perform tasks among the three major generals, codenamed "Green Pheasant".
"yes, I thought it would be a big problem, but I didn't think about it...... Hmm! ”
In the middle of speaking, the pheasant stretched his waist and gave a big hack. Then rubbing his eyes, he said to Sengoku: "It's you thinking too much, Marshal." ”
"It's a good thing that there's no big trouble! The world needs peace! ”
Sengoku replied calmly, paused, and added: "After watching the game, hand in the report to me as soon as you go back, what do you say like laziness all day long, understand?" ”
"Hey hi, I got ......"
The pheasant shrugged, not surprised. That lazy appearance really doesn't have any resemblance to the majestic admiral.
With such three generals existing, it's no wonder that Sengoku doesn't care about Ron's personality...... In contrast, he is the most normal guy!
After greeting Karp and the others, he came to the seat belonging to the general and sat down...... Paralyzed. The yellow ape next to him came up, pouted and smiled obscenely: "Yo, Kuzan, seeing that you are so tired, do you want to take a gamble on the opportunity to attend the next mission?" ”
"Huh? All right...... But what to bet on? ”
Turning over, the pheasant replied lazily.
"Just bet on how long that kid can last......"
The yellow ape pointed to the quietest platform in the center of the field with his chin, and teased him: "Sakasky said he could only hold out for half an hour, I said one hour, how long do you gamble?" ”
"Huh?!"
The originally lazy and dull vision suddenly brightened up after staying on the high platform. The pheasant rubbed his chin and said in surprise: "The opponent turned out to be Brigadier General Xiuzuo?" Is this imp that strong? ”
