“Devil Fruit User ..”
Hearing GARP say this, Roja looked at him with interest. Even though Roja was very familiar with many demon fruit abilities, she still did not see him in front of her after so long grom came to this world.
And speaking of the devil fruit Roja could not help but think of haki. So he immediately asked Garp.
"Can you teach me haki then?"
Garp paused for a moment then said, “Well, you do have the basic qualifications to practice haki, but you have to get into the elite camp and Z will teach you that.”
Because it was only a few days away from the competition and it was obviously not enough for Roja to learn haki. Moreover, GARP said he only had the qualifications to study. So GARP felt no need to force the practice of haki in those three days.
"okay!"
Roja also knows that practicing haki cannot be done in just a day or two.
“Yes, I will adjust myself to the new power in those three days.”
Garp nodded then turned around and left the courtyard leaving Roja alone there.
After some time Roja continued her training. He could compress the air four times now so he would try compressing it five times.
This kind of training will get harder the more progress you make.
If he could compress the air fifteen times, he would become one of the top swordsmen.
…
After a few days.
The rays of dawn from the horizon came like golden ripples that instantly spread to the sky.
Roja had long since woken up and was already in the courtyard.
Ow hell!
his hand suddenly waved and several swords appeared as if fused together.
the champ!
The next moment the silver white energy exploded from the tip of Roja's sword and headed to the floor.Reaching the floor it instantly exploded and made a crack of nearly seven meters long.
“So compressing the air five times is still a bit difficult but now I can compress the air four times perfectly. And with this I can count on Tobu zangeki to cut steel.”
Upon seeing the crack caused by his last sword attack, he gave a small nod and returned the sword to its original place.
then he said to himself, "I should probably go. The competition will start soon ..."
…
The central office training camp contained different types of tests such as strength tests, speed tests, shooting tests, and so on.
The assessment as before was held every quarter or half hour.
However Under normal circumstances the war would be judged by the instructor but in competition-based assessments they would require more than just an instructor.
And also since the recruits would duel each other then the time for the appraisal would take longer as well.
This type of assessment has not helped for a long time now.
And the elite stronghold did not only involve ten groups of ordinary fortresses.
When Roja came to the camp where the assessment would be held, a large number of recruits were already there. Some are excited, some are high-spirited.
The recruits gathered around the square from three directions, the first being the instructors and also the former admiral Z standing.
Camp Mrineford does not train soldiers but trains individuals. Training does not pay attention to the group.
Assessment will be held in the square perhaps.
Roja arrived there without drawing any attention to herself.
Seeing the recruits arrive and standing in front of instructor Z slightly nodded then said.
"It's time, calm down."
Z's voice was not very loud but was heard in the ears of everyone present there with majesty. So everyone looked up.
“The assessment of the battle you experienced earlier is different from before. This time you can challenge anyone who is above you in the rankings from before. ”
Z looks at the recruited audience and explains the scoring rules briefly.
Every half year at least an assessment will be held. Whatever kind of assessment is either like this or like the one before. But this one depends on prior judgment, as you can challenge anyone above you in the rankings.
If the challenger loses, then his ranking will remain the same but if the challenger wins he will take the losing spot.
This way if the recruits stop challenging each other then the assessment will end.
The limitation is that recruits are not allowed to use firearms. And higher ranked recruits could not challenge anyone lower than them in the rankings. The challenger cannot be avoided or rejected only if the one being challenged is injured and unable to continue the battle.
“This competition-based assessment is an actual assessment and will depend on the latter. You should all keep your rankings in mind but it will still show the rankings of the entire camp. ”
Now Z ordered someone beside him to project the rank.
General Reer nodded and projected a rank on the walls of Marineford.
This was the previous ranking and now many wanted to see who would really be the first this time around.
Because most recruits think that the results of previous assessments are regulated.
It goes like this:
First place ... Roja.
Second place ... Abject.
Third place ... Drakes.
Fourth place ... Kasei (or kazan) .
…
“Roja? who is that ? how did he get first place?"
“Monkey.D.Roja .. Monkey.D .. His first name is somewhat familiar .. Ah isn't that the same name as the Sea hero Vice Admiral GARP?”
Seeing these many recruits showed shocked expressions.
Roja is not so famous. He arrived before three months. One month was spent in the training camp with the other recruits and the other two months he spent them in his yard so naturally the other group did not know who Roja was.
However, even if the recruit did not know about him, the recruits from his group were different.
“Roja couldn't rank first in the entire camp, she couldn't even rank first in the group.”
“What a joke is this!”
"The result was too much, the whole first camp .. do they think blind or something?"
More and more recruits sneered after seeing the results.
This time most of them could only silently sneer.
No one asked about the assessment so they got started immediately. And many think that this tempering will be easily exposed.
