Driver System: [One Piece]

Back to Marineford

Two days later,

All the marine recruits - almost 300– who came to the training camp - stood in the open field, some excited, some nervous, and others hesitant.

Today is the last day of the training camp. From tomorrow, they will be sent to the Sea. The sea where countless pirates roamed and death occurred every second.

The world is cruel, indeed. Without the strength to protect themselves, they were all just ants.

The Zephyr instructor came to send them away.

"From today, you are not recruits but Marines with the character of "Justice' imprinted behind you.

You can't betray that.

After earning enough points, anyone can return here to learn 'Haki.

Try your best to survive in the sea mercilessly and come back!"

After which, Zephyr called out several promising recruits and sent them off one by one. Blaize is also called.

"You have the power of the devil fruit, and I know, you increased it to a whole new level since the first time we met. But you must not rely too much on your devil fruit.

Your individual strength is the most important. Now go and find the world. And, do what your heart says."

"Thank you, Zephyr Sensei. I won't let you down" Blaize saluted and boarded the ocean liner anchored on the beach.

 --

The next day, Blazie is with Gion,

Vergo, Shuzo, and the other recruits reach the marineford.

After living on a remote island for over seven months, Blaize finally returns. He loved the thought of wading through the ocean and meeting strong opponents.

Once they arrived at Marineford, shocking news reached their ears. It was talked about by all the Marine officers present at Marineford.

Three months ago, someone climbed a red mountain, burning down an entire city in the

Mary Geoise, and release all Worldnobel slaves. It's causing wrath

Heavenly Dragon.

They wanted all the slaves recaptured and the person who freed them executed. They immediately blamed and showed their anger at the Marines.

Recently, most of the marines in the headquarters were sent for this purpose and assigned to recapture the slaves. This statement made Blaize angry.

The slaves were also natives of this world.

Why were they treated differently just because of the 'nails' mark of the Celestial dragon?.

Where is justice in this?

If even the Marines 'symbol of Justice' failed to protect them, then who else? Sure enough, only the strongest decide what justice is and what it is not.

The desire to become stronger was burning more and more in his heart. 'Dragon

Heavenly ... they better not provoke me. Otherwise, I'll burn everything to ashes' thought

Blaise.

Around night, the marines were asked to gather in front of the tower

Marineford. Fleet Admiral Kong came in person and said a few encouraging words.

After that, Admiral Sengoku and several naval officers replaced him. Sengoku came forward, introduced himself, and began talking about some key laws that all marines must strictly abide by.

After that, he explained his merit system and values. For every nameless Pirate or pirate with a bounty of under 1 million they caught, they would get 1 merit point.

If said in an easier way, a Million would give them 1 point

Merits. For example, capturing or killing a pirate with 25 million bounties would result in 25 Merits. Passing 100 million bounties, merit points differed from pirate to pirate.

By using the Merit system, they can raise ranks, request certain privileges, buy Devil fruits, weapons, learn Rokushiki, Haki, and various other facilities.

But will it be that easy? Of course not. Blaize was sure of it, otherwise,

The Naval Headquarters would give birth to many powerful characters.

Later, recruits were assigned under the Marine officers who held the Captain and rank above him. Except Blaize, though,

Vergo, Gion, Shuzo, and a few other marine recruits are showing potential in the training camp.

They were all people who studied Rokushiki in the training camp.

Without a doubt, the evaluation of the Zephyr Instructor was taken into account.

After the other recruits left the area, Sengoku once again spoke.

"You are the pillars of the future of marine life.

Countless new pirates appear every day and we cannot face them all with our limited strength.

So, it's up to young marines like you to stop the pirates. That's also why I didn't rank twenty-five of you.

Because you will choose your own rank. The Marines need strong officers, so I'll do a small test to gauge your strength, courage, and willpower."

Speaking to this point, Sengoku exuded a strong attitude.

"For a whole month, you will act alone and hunt down the pirates.

You won't receive any help from the marines. You will act as a pirate hunter and roam the first half of the Grand Line, without friends.

The number of pirates you catch or kill this month will determine your Marine Ranking. Your processes will be monitored closely by a secret unit.

Make no mistake, they will not interfere with what you do.

Likewise, they won't interfere even if you get killed."

Sengoku's words made the recruits uneasy. How are they going to hunt down the entire pirate crew alone? This doesn't make any sense! Even Blaize was a little surprised.

The others, unlike him, had a powerful system and demonic fruit power. With a little accident, they would lose their lives. Not all pirates are like Luffy, they will show no mercy.

But none of them raised their opinions, affected by Sengoku's serious demeanor. At that moment, boisterous laughter came from a distance.

"Wahahaha, you're scaring the boy

Sengoku." GARP approached the group from behind.

"Garp, what are you doing here?"

Sengoku asked with a twitch on his forehead. 'Don't I tell him to leave, how did he kiss the recruits who came today?"

What caught Blaize's attention, was the tall man accompanying Garp. Nominee

Admiral, now Vice Admiral, now,

Kuzan.

Cool type of guy, like his fruit ability. Blaize will always be entertained with his character in the One Piece series.

Seeing it directly, made him even more amused.

"Big Blaze, you look stronger than ever" Garp commented, noticing his figure.

"Thank you, Old Man Garp" Blaize thanked him by lowering his head. Hearing his statement, both Sengoku and Kuzan shut their mouths and tried their best to hold back the laughter.

"Garp-san, when did you become a parent?"

Kuzan asked with a smile.

". this boy"' Garp narrowed his eyes and his figure disappeared. Before Blaize could use Soru, his head was hit by the "Fist of Love'.

"Ugh'

Blaize groaned while holding his head. 'It really hurts!"
