Naval Headquarters.
on the square.
Many new recruits gathered scatteredly. Because it was not yet time to gather, and new recruits were arriving one after another, the atmosphere was relatively loose.
"Have you heard that the Jack Pirates that Mr. Zefa led to deal with that day were destroyed by the new recruit Ron with one move?"
Among the recruits gathered in twos and threes, some spoke excitedly.
They were recruits who did not meet the standards and could not go with Zefa. They were very envious and frustrated at the time, but they did not expect that such news would come out afterwards, which made people shocked and a little gloating, because that group of people was quite Yu didn't get any military honors.
"I heard that it's the Ron who had a fight with Instructor Gumil not long ago. I heard that Instructor Gumil was no match for him."
A recruit next to him responded.
The person who spoke at first said with some envy: "I heard that Ron only scored 27 points in the physical test. He was able to achieve this level only because of the Devil Fruit."
"Energy users are indeed very strong."
Someone next to him responded with a slight sigh. There were also Devil Fruit users in the recruit camp, and the strength of these ability users was basically at the top.
A muscular recruit frowned and retorted: "It also depends on what kind of ability it is. If the ability is very poor, the improvement in strength will not be great. Instead of spending time developing abilities, it is better to exercise and improve faster. .”
"That's true."
Someone said with some jealousy in their tone: "I heard that Ron's ability is the 'Fantasy Fruit'. The ability to transform imagination into reality is one of the most powerful superhumans in the legend."
"Fantasy Fruit? Is there this Devil Fruit? I heard that Ron doesn't seem to be a Devil Fruit user. He uses some kind of witchcraft ability."
"Who knows, it's just that he's very strong."
One of the recruits shook his head and said, "General Aokiji and the others are the strongest natural devil fruits. If we can get that level of devil fruit ability, even we might be able to match the strength of the lieutenant generals."
The recruits were talking to each other, and they were all a little envious.
Some people also mentioned Marshal Sengoku. Although most of them don't know what abilities Sengoku has, it is said that Sengoku is also a person with abilities.
And just as everyone was talking about it, a calm and stern voice came over.
"Don't expect too much from devil fruit powers!"
Zefa walked over with a sullen face and scolded the many recruits: "Aoki Akainu and his team's Devil Fruits are the strongest natural type. There are only a few in total. Powerful Devil Fruits are not easy to obtain. .”
"And Devil Fruits are also based on physical strength. The power of the same Devil Fruit in the hands of different people is completely different!"
Seeing Zefa coming over with a stern tone, many recruits did not dare to speak.
Zefa glanced at the many recruits and saw that there were other recruits arriving one after another. When everyone was not there, he did not give the order to assemble, but continued in a deep voice: "In addition, if the physical skills are raised to the limit, they will never be weaker than the devil. fruit."
"Garp is not a person with abilities, but he chased Roger everywhere!"
"I am not a person with abilities, but I am the previous admiral of the navy. When I was sailing on the sea, I arrested countless pirates, including some famous characters. Many of them were people with abilities, but so what?!"
After hearing Zefa's words, many recruits nodded.
Indeed.
Zefa, who is purely strong in physical skills, can also become a naval admiral, but most of them don't dare to think that they can become a general, and at most they only aim to be a lieutenant general.
Seeing the appearance of many new recruits, Zefa's expression softened slightly, but Ron's appearance flashed in his mind, and he snorted coldly.
He just learned yesterday that Ron turned out to be a pirate hunter.
After hunting many pirates in the East China Sea and receiving a large amount of bounty money, he joined the Navy Headquarters as a new recruit, not a talent sent specially by Cap.
After the World Government came up with the Shichibukai system so that pirates could legally plunder, he was already very disappointed with the government and the navy, not to mention the pirate hunters.
These are a source of confusion!
The government doesn't know what it's doing, and the navy is letting pirates run rampant one by one. Even pirate hunters are now joining the navy as talents. No wonder the navy has fallen to this level!
If it weren't for Garp's persuasion and the fact that he still had a little hope in the navy, he wouldn't even want to stay in the recruit camp anymore and would have left the navy completely.
Zefa walked through the recruits with a cold face and came to the front of the crowd.
Many recruits also dared not speak.
The instructor in front of the recruits looked at Zefa and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When Zefa taught him back then, he was very patient and instructive. But in recent years, Zefa's character has become more and more serious. He is weird and has a very bad temper.
He would not forgive recruits who were displeased or had a bad history, and even expelled a recruit who had been a gangster from the recruit camp.
The instructor sighed secretly, but did not dare to say anything. He was not qualified to comfort Zefa.
The new recruits arrived one after another, and there were more and more people in the square. The instructor looked at it and determined that the number was almost there, and then stepped forward, preparing to give the order to assemble.
But at this moment, one of the recruits who came from not far away suddenly appeared and walked directly towards Zefa, holding a document in his hand.
"...what's the matter?"
When Zefa saw the person approaching, he spoke with a cold face.
Ron calmly handed over the document in his hand and said, "This is an application for a trainee navy, and it needs instructor Zefa's signature and approval."
There is no need to conspire with each other, and his and Zefa's views and ideas are all in conflict, so there is no need to pretend to be a harmonious attitude. The road is heading towards the sky, and each side goes its own way.
Zefa took the document and glanced at it.
He had read this kind of document many times, and actually didn't need to read it at all, but at the moment he didn't want to sign it for Ron, so he just held it in his hand and thought about it in his mind.
After a few seconds, Zefa put down the documents and said in a deep voice: "To apply to become a trainee navy, you need to meet certain requirements. Your physical fitness is not up to standard, but considering that you rely on your ability to have some strength, it is not impossible to approve it."
"It just so happens that I'm going to explain my physical skills and abilities. Come on, use your strongest attack to attack me and let me see how powerful you are."
After hearing Zefa's words, Ron suddenly thought for a moment.
Zefa had already seen his strongest attack a few days ago when he destroyed the Jack Pirates. Now letting him take action is obviously not to test his ability. The purpose should be to show the new recruits over there their physical skills. How to deal with abilities.
It’s difficult to be an author. If the settings are too little and incomplete, there will be trolls and trolls who complain about the settings. If the settings are perfected, there will be complaints about too many settings.
What can I do? I can only add one more update, just think of it as the plot advancement of the two updates.
