Chapter 12 Sneak Attack
Watching the gate slowly closing, Rear Admiral Trane was relieved … he could have entered together with Rowen, but he felt someone coming here and he felt it necessary to stand outside for a while.
Looking back, a figure had appeared where there was nothing before, the figure was leaning against the wall and trimming his nails.
Shuā!
The Guards and Trane stood at attention and saluted while Shouting: “Admiral Kizaru!”
The person who appeared outside the test point at this time was one of the most inconspicuous Marine Admiral, Borsalino “Kizaru”.
He wore a bright yellow suit, shoulder-length Admiral’s Unique Justice Clock. He had curly black hair, a beard, and sunglasses, and was tall and thin.
The reason Trane can’t figure out his appearance here is that Kizaru is never too obviously purposeful and was indifferent to everything.
In the two years after the War Of The Best, Akainu and Aokiji fought for the Fleet Admiral position at Punk Hazard due to their disagreement, but Kizaru showed no interest in it at all… as if he didn’t care about what Marines would do in the future.
Akainu and Aokiji can be said to be Marine’s War Faction and Peace Faction with clear positions, but Kizaru … to be honest, no one can see him at any position.
A certain comment from the earth clarified Kizaru very clearly, that’s what it said.
[Kizaru has no emotional entanglement, he has no entanglement with Justice’s judgment, he does not have any sense of uncertainty and hesitation in dealing with anything, but he is responsible for executing the mission … nothing more.]
After getting rid of the hidden secrets behind this person. From this point of view, Rowen is a replica of Kizaru. It’s just that their starting point is different. Kizaru really dislikes trouble and doesn’t want to consider those twists and turns.
At the moment, Kizaru leaned back against the wall and pinched his nails with a nail clipper.
Hearing the salute, he raised his head after blowing on his fingers. He looked at Trane and then he looked at the closed door and spoke slowly.
“Now, Trane … the one that went inside is the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability user, right?”
“Uh……”
Why would Kizaru care about this?
Isn’t he indifferent to everything?
Trane was puzzled, but he replied without hesitation because of his position: “Yes, Admiral Kizaru. His name is Rowen, Vice-Admiral Garp ordered me to take him to the Recruit Camp for testing!” fre(e)webnovel.com
“Rowen …”
Kizaru repeated the name again, blowing away the dust from his nails, he slowly stood up and said to Trane.
“Then let’s go in and see the test … the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the power of Thunder. Really terrible! Terrible!”
Trane couldn’t figure out what’s going on now, so he can only stand up and raise his head to say: “Yes Sir!”
…
The test site is an empty sandstone field, without any people and equipment, this place looked like a desert. The first time Rowen walked in, he thought he was in the wrong place. He looked back at the wall of the Fortress to make sure that he had not crossed over to another place again.
It wasn’t quite the testing ground he’d hoped for! Not to mention not seeing the unique black tech devices of One Piece World, why can’t he see a single person in here?
At the top of the high wall behind Rowen, in a room embedded in the wall, Kizaru and Trane stood here watching Rowen’s every move through the window. After seeing Rowen stepping forward cautiously, Kizaru grunted and smiled insignificantly: “Empty space? This style of test … Is it Commodore Shuzo, the teacher’s favorite pupil? “
The teacher mentioned by Kizaru can only be the Recruit Camp Main Instructor, the former Marine Admiral, “Black Arm” Zephyr!
Kizaru, however, did not ask about the Recruit Camp because the two men had long been at odds over some of their ideas. Trane had no idea that he was so clear about Shuzo’s testing style.
“Uh … yes, it should be Instructor Shuzo.” Trane answered quickly after pausing for a second.
The Instructor of the Recruit Camp are chosen by others, but Zephyr and Shuzo were retired Marines. They were once active members in Headquarters, so Trane is very familiar with them. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
Hearing the answer, Kizaru grunted and his wrinkled old face made this terrible expression ugly and scary: “Yosh … It seems that Teacher Zephyr is very optimistic about this Rowen … this is going to be a good show!”
Hearing this remark, Trane’s mouth twitched but he could not refute.
If it was Shuzo, it would be the most accurate way to test Rowen’s current shortcomings, but the process…
…
At the same time, in the office of Fleet Admiral, Sengoku, who heard the report, looked at Zephyr with a little surprise, and asked, “Rowen has only acquired the fruit ability for about a month, and has not experienced any actual combat training. Are you sure that Shuzo should be in charge? “
Shuzo’s test method is a nightmare for every new Marine!
“Fleet Admiral, please rest assured, Shuzo’s test will be measured!”
In response to Sengoku’s question, Zephyr replied confidently and glanced at someone across the table who was asleep and grinned: “And I want to check whether he was led astray and needed to be corrected in the month when he was on Garp’s Ship…”
Snap!
The snot bubble exploded and Garp opened his eyes blankly, glancing from left to right.
What just happened?
Why did he feel a sudden chill on his back?
But thinking about that feeling, this is Sengoku’s office and there can be no accident here, Garp rubbed his nose, tilted his head, and continued to sleep.
Suddenly, Sengoku’s fist pounded on the table as he ground his teeth.
“Ga… rp…”
…
Rowen’s muscles tensed as he shuffled across the wide gravel field.
He didn’t let his guard down because there was no one here. As a Marine building, there is no way that someone is not here. Besides, since it’s a test, anything can happen!
“What?!”
Moving forward a few steps and stepping on the ground, Rowen was surprised and he suddenly squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand, rubbing it in his palm.
“I see …”
“Yo, you’re here for the Recruit Test, right? I’m sorry I just went to the toilet … wait a minute!”
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound, and Rowen turned round, almost attacking with his lightning bolt. But he stopped the impulse, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
“Er … Good! You’re the Instructor…”
Rowen saw a small door pushed open by the wall. A Marine officer pushed out the door. His shoulder badge told him that he was a Commodore. Not surprisingly, he is the recruiter Instructor responsible for testing.
“Well, it’s been a long time since anyone tested it… It is not the time for the Recruits to test for half a year. I was eating when they suddenly told me about the test… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hang you out, little brother! “
The Commodore complained as he walked in, and also apologized to Rowen.
“It’s okay, and I … just arrived.”
Am I wrong?
Rowen stood there with awkward expressions as he doubted his choice.
Seeing Rowen’s stunned expression, Kizaru slowly smiled.
“It’s coming……”
Bang ————!!
As predicted!
The voice just fell.
The next second, the sand behind Rowen explodes and a shadow emerged from the Underground, like electricity or light, and rushes behind Rowen. The sharply-eyed Kizaru found that the man’s punch was entwined with Haki, and Rowen could not use Elementalization to get out of the way!
This … It’s the testing style of test site leader Commodore Shuzo…
Actual combat!!
In his eyes, soldiers are used for a fight!
The speed and power test can not be said to be meaningless, but it is not accurate without actual combat data!
Especially in the face of sneak attacks, it can best reflect a person’s actual combat ability!
An Elite Marine who had mastered Two-Haki, Swordsmanship, and Marine Rokushiki’s is already extraordinary. If that kind of person launches a Sneak Attack on a Recruit from hidden in the Underground, this attack is unavoidable and unstoppable… It is no wonder that Shuzo’s test is regarded as a nightmare by every recruit!
