"I didn't expect that this year, there would be a natural devil fruit user. He should be the most outstanding recruit."
"It looks like that's probably the case."
Several lieutenant generals watched Smoker's battle and commented on each other.
"No, I heard that Lieutenant General Garp's nephew is the most outstanding recruit of this batch. It is said that he seems to have the potential to become a naval admiral!"
"General potential?!"
Not only did someone say something, but a stone immediately stirred up a thousand waves, making all the lieutenant generals present look surprised.
The admiral has the highest combat power in the navy headquarters!
There are many lieutenants in the navy, but there are only three admirals who represent the highest combat effectiveness!
Having the potential of a naval admiral means having the potential to become the highest combat effectiveness. Even if they heard that the man was Garp's nephew, some of these lieutenant generals still had a dubious attitude.
Above the lieutenant generals are the seats of generals and marshals.
"Smog is a natural smoke fruit user, so he should be fine in the seventh game."
Qingzhi sat there, looking at Smoker who was fighting the enemy in the seventh field from a distance, and made a very relaxed and casual comment.
"Unfortunately, my physical strength is too low, and the possibility of passing the eighth game is very low."
Kizaru curled his lips and spoke, and at the same time glanced at Zefa with a slightly mocking look, sitting on the other side, and said:
"Teacher Zefa, it seems that you often taught me to pay attention to physical strength."
"snort!"
Zefa snorted and said, "I taught you this, but Kizaru, you seem to have turned a deaf ear to my words."
The three generals of the navy are all disciples of Zefa, but Zefa has the worst relationship with Kizaru. He is extremely displeased with Kizaru's careless character. In addition, Kizaru is habitually dependent on fruit abilities. Therefore, Zefa often reprimanded Kizaru for paying too much attention to fruits and not paying attention to the fundamentals of the body.
"There's nothing I can do about it. Who told me that my fruit power is light, and I'm not weak even if I rely on the fruit."
Kizaru spread his hands and put on a very helpless look. His expression could be as wretched as it wanted, half of it was deliberate and half of it came from his true nature.
Zefa didn't want to argue with Kizaru, but continued to look at the field.
boom! boom!
Smoker fought with the pirate, and the two figures kept clashing.
Although the pirate has a bounty of 180 million beli, he does not know how to use haki. He does have fruit abilities, but unfortunately he is human-type and cannot have any impact on Smoker.
As a result, the pirate was obviously in a situation where he could only take a beating but could not fight back. Finally, Smoker caught the flaw and smashed the weapon down, causing him to vomit blood and fly out of the field.
"Seventh game passed!"
Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan looked at this scene and nodded slightly. He was not surprised. The people present already knew the outcome of this battle from the beginning.
Offstage.
Several elite battalion recruits who had completed the assessment, or we could call them naval officers who had not yet been awarded the title, were all looking at Smoker on the stage.
"I just barely passed the sixth game. Smoker was indeed much better than us. The seventh game, which was much more difficult, was passed."
"Natural smoke fruit, of course we can't compare."
At this time, someone still said something in a sour tone. Seeing Smoker using his fruit ability to defeat the enemies in the seventh game, and they all lost in the seventh game, he naturally felt a little sour in his heart.
"Don't forget there is Roja."
Someone spoke, and this time there was no sourness in his tone.
If they were a little jealous of Smoker's strength with the Smoke Fruit, then they couldn't be jealous of Roya at all.
Even if Roja doesn't use that kind of flame ability, his physical skills and sword skills alone are enough to crush any one of them. They are all convinced of Roja.
"I'm afraid Smoker won't be able to pass the eighth round. I don't know how many rounds Roja can reach. The third stage of the assessment, if I remember correctly, there should be ten rounds in total."
"The tenth game..."
In the elite camp, Shuzuo, who seemed to know something, couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "It is said that the three current generals, codenamed Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu, only passed the ninth round. That’s all.”
The other graduate recruits from the elite battalion suddenly showed expressions of astonishment and spoke one after another.
"Even the generals didn't pass the tenth round?!"
"It's unbelievable. Who will be our opponent in the tenth game?"
Shuzuo listened to their questions and looked across the ring from a distance to the three Aokiji, Kizaru and Akainu in the audience. He took a deep breath and said with deep eyes:
"Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"
"This is what my father told me... The enemy in the tenth round of the third stage graduation assessment of the elite battalion is a random opponent from the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"
After saying this sentence, almost everyone else present looked at each other.
Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!
This is the rank second only to the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!
In the navy, they also represent the absolute backbone of the force after the top brass. There are only three generals, so it is impossible to be dispatched for everything. Many times, the people who pursue big pirates are the lieutenant generals of the headquarters.
Every lieutenant general in the headquarters has experienced hundreds of battles and is extremely powerful in physical skills. Almost all of them are proficient in one or two of the six naval styles, or even all of them... and they are all proficient in two-color domineering!
The Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters is not an absolute strong man in this sea, but compared with the recruits who have not graduated yet and are taking the graduation assessment, there is undoubtedly a world of difference!
Even Aokiji, Kizaru and Akainu failed to reach the level of Lieutenant General of the Headquarters during the graduation examination. They all left sadly after encountering the tenth level of suppression by the Lieutenant General of the Navy Headquarters.
Although they later fought in the sea and soon had the strength to surpass the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters was almost the pinnacle of ordinary people, and not everyone could easily surpass it.
After many people reach this level, they find it difficult to improve their strength throughout their lives. If you want to take a further step, you must be talented and have great perseverance!
"It's just a graduation exam, but there is actually a lieutenant general..."
"It would be too much of a joke to be able to defeat the new recruits of the lieutenant generals of our headquarters. No wonder even the generals failed to pass. This is simply impossible."
Everyone present had their lips curled up and shook their heads.
Xiu Zuo chuckled and said: "Don't think too much, we can't even pass the seventh level. Without Smoker and Roya, we might not even be able to see what our opponents are in the eighth level."
"As for the tenth level...it's not certain whether we can see the tenth level's lieutenant general appear today."
…
In the field.
Smoker, who passed the seventh game, chose to continue challenging the next game.
Game 8.
The one who went up to fight Smoker was a Rear Admiral from the Navy Headquarters, and his strength was relatively high among the Rear Admirals in the Headquarters. He was not a fruit-powered person, but a pure physical practitioner, a strong man in the Sixth Form of the Navy and domineering!
As soon as they met, Smoker fell directly into the disadvantage.
After a few moves, Smoker was directly blasted out of the field. The Navy Rear Admiral also showed mercy and used just enough force to blast Smoker out without injuring Smoker.
"If his fruit ability is not smoke with little attack power, but a natural type with strong attack power, he may have hope of winning the eighth game."
After Qingzhi shook his head slightly, his eyes flickered, showing a hint of anticipation, and said: "Next... it's finally the turn of the most exciting one."
"I wonder if he can pass the ninth level like us and fall at the tenth level, or he can break our original record and pass the tenth level. It's really exciting."
