Chapter 22: The Examination Begins! (3rd Update!) Ask for collections, ask for recommendations! )

Just as the mole was about to give up and leave, Zefa slowly spoke: "I will discuss these things with Sengoku." ”

This voice was like a heavenly sound in the ears of the mole, and he saluted in surprise: "Yes, thank you, teacher!" Then he ran to the cabin like a wind, ready to exchange for the photo in Loya's hand.

......

Along the way, the warship sailed into the windless zone and stopped in the bay of a medium-sized island.

It's an island that has never been shown on a map, and has been used by the Navy as a place of trial for recruits for decades.

Because the magnetic field of this island is very weak, except for the permanent pointer, the nautical pointer will not point here at all, which is hidden enough. Moreover, there are many native and powerful creatures on the island, plus the fierce beasts that the navy has successively rushed in to breed, which is completely enough to serve as a place for the trial of recruits.

Ordinary recruits on the four seas naturally do not need to be assessed, but as recruits in the headquarters, they will be the elite of the navy in the future, and this test of blood and fire is indispensable.

The vegetation on the island is dense, and from the humble harbor, you can only see patches of green leaves, and two fiery red crabs strolling on the beach, a peaceful and peaceful scene.

But the vicious roars that come from time to time in the depths of the island prove that this place is not as calm as it seems.

Many of the recruits swallowed and looked at each other.

"Hey, we're not going to the island, are we?"

"It should be... According to the predecessors, this island is full of man-eating beasts. ”

As soon as I heard this, the people around me became even more nervous.

"Well... It's scary! ”

The surrounding warships lined up in a neat line, waiting for Zefa to give the order, who nodded to the mole and ordered the heralds to begin informing the ships and preparing for the assessment.

The instructor of Luo Ya's seventh team stood at the front and shouted, "Next, there will be an elite assessment!" Now, I'll tell you the rules! ”

"Your mission is to hunt down the creatures on this island and earn points for three days, and the top three will have any hope of joining the elite camp. The creatures on the island are strong and weak, and the points you get are also from high to low, even if you step on a crab to death. ”

The major general instructor pointed to the crabs stacked on the beach, and made a rare joke, but the effect was not very good, the recruits were still restless and nervous, holding the gun in the same posture as holding a sword, and the palms were wet.

Seeing that no one replied, the major general instructor coughed dryly twice and continued.

"This assessment is an individual battle, but it is allowed to form a team, and as long as multiple people participate in the attack, the points will be divided equally among everyone's heads. Plus, the island is full of surveillance bugs, so don't take chances, your every move is under our watch. ”

"Everyone comes to get a distress smoke bomb when they leave, although there are many phone bugs on the island, even in the sky, but if you really encounter an incomparably powerful creature, the phone bug can't tell you where you are, in case of an accident, you can use this call for help to tell us where you are."

"It's just that you all remember that anyone, as long as they use a distress signal, their score will be zero!"

"And..."The Major General Instructor said solemnly: "This does not mean that you are all safe, once you encounter a powerful beast that cannot be resisted, it is not impossible to be torn to pieces in an instant." So, good luck to all! ”

After finishing speaking, the major general instructor looked at Zefa, and the other party nodded to continue, and then shouted: "Now, come and get your life talisman, rabbit cubs, all the weapons you carry must be handed in, you can only use the standard weapons we prepared, and give an extra day of dry food!" ”

Some of the recruits were trembling, and some were eager to try, and they lined up in an orderly manner to receive their equipment.

Loya thought for a moment and took a dagger and a bag of gunpowder, not a gun. The navy who distributed the equipment looked at him in surprise and asked, "I still understand the dagger, but why did you take the gunpowder and not the gun?" "You must know that most of the recruits choose to take guns, so that they have more protection in the face of danger.

Loya shrugged and explained, "I don't need a gun anymore, and in case I get hurt or it rains, gunpowder is a good thing to make a fire and disinfect it." By the way, uncle, is this bag waterproof? ”

Hearing this, the naval uncle nodded and said with a smile: "Ambition!" Rest assured, the bag sewn from the skin of the sea animal, you tie the rope on the mouth a little tighter, and it will not get wet if soaked in water. ”

"So be it, thank you, uncle."

Luo Ya beckoned, grabbed the smoke bombs and dry food for help, and left the warship.

Ask him why he didn't get seasick, because he had been jumping up and down on the ice without his feet touching the deck.

......

"Loya, let's go together!"

"yes, it's fine with you."

As soon as Loya got off the ship, he was surrounded by familiar recruits, who pleaded with him, hoping to join him. The tone was pitiful, without the slightest bit of justification.

This is the One Piece world, and there is no belief in "the stronger the power, the greater the responsibility." "The SPH is rampant. In this sea, after all, strength is respected, and now in the face of unknown dangers, seeking the protection of the strong and putting on a natural appearance is to find death.

No matter how good the two brothers are on weekdays, at this time, in this serious elite assessment, then doing so is tantamount to looking for death.

Luo Ya looked at his colleagues with a headache, and looked behind him, the bigwigs on the warship had already left the deck and went to the monitoring center, and they couldn't find someone to solve the siege.

So he sighed resignedly, spread his hands and said, "Okay, but only one day." After a day, you'll probably be familiar with the island, and you'll be able to find targets to hunt on your own. Everyone also knows that it is impossible to get a ticket to the elite camp when you get together. ”

Indeed, among the recruits, there were a few who did not want to join the elite battalion, and when they heard Luo Ya say this, they gritted their teeth and agreed.

They are the new recruits of the headquarters, the future elite of the navy, if they are afraid now, how will they fight the pirates in the future?

Seeing that everyone agreed, Luo Ya raised his fist: "Yo Xi, then let's go!" ”

"Yes!"

......

On the warship, in a large room. This was the monitoring center of this assessment, and almost all the admirals were gathered together.

On the walls around are images projected by video phone bugs, and dozens of navies are running around with notebooks and busily recording the scores of the recruits.

Zefa sat at the top of the conference table, flipping through the recruits' profiles.

Suddenly, he raised his head and said helplessly to the person across the table, "Are you so idle?" ”

"Ahhh But thank you, teacher, otherwise the Marshal of the Warring States would have transferred me to the mission a long time ago. Kuzan took away the blindfold in front of him and replied, "Anyway, that kid also calls me a teacher, and the disciple participates in the actual combat assessment, so I can't say that I won't come to see it." ”

Zefa also learned just now that Kuzan had boarded another warship in Marinfodo and accompanied him all the way here.

As Kuzan said, it's really thanks to Zefa.

In order to make Luoya grow up faster, Zefa and Sengoku discussed for a long time, which made Sengoku relenting and allowed Kuzan to teach Loya every day. This has also led to Kuzan's very comfortable month, and now he has nothing to do with the actual combat assessment.

Zefa couldn't help but regret his decision, didn't that give Kuzan a perfect excuse to be lazy?
