Ze Long, who had eaten his fill, walked out of the restaurant with Tina snuggling up to him. Logan's resentful gaze was right behind him.
The three of them walked into the gate with the words " Navy Academy " written on it. As soon as they entered the gate, they could hear the shouts. The students of the previous batch were all wearing navy uniforms and training on the field, sweating profusely.
Boom, boom, boom…
A series of footsteps that shook the earth and mountains were heard. A group of giants that were as strong as mountains ran over. It should be the navy giants running. It felt like the palms of these giants were bigger than Ze Long's. It was really magical.
The three of them finally walked to the conscription office, but they found that there were already many people waiting in line. The line was very long, and the three of them quickly joined the line.
This was actually a deliberate act by the navy, because there weren't that many outstanding children who actually signed up for the naval academy test. The others were all ordinary recruits who signed up.
However, the navy wanted to let these talented students who were about to enter the naval academy understand that the navy valued fairness and justice. Their status was earned through military merits. Their parents could only help them enter the family, and they had to rely on themselves for the privileges behind.
From afar, Ze Long could see that the naval academy's test was different from that of ordinary naval soldiers.
There were many ordinary people who came to participate in the navy conscription. Some came for their dreams, some for revenge, some because they were homeless, some to avoid being hunted down, and some just wanted to have a meal.
This was because One Piece was a chaotic world filled with slaughter. The navy headquarters was definitely one of the safest places.
Although the Golden Lion King had broken into Marlin Frodo alone half a month ago and destroyed the place, it still did not dispel the people's yearning for this place.
Compared to a town that could be raided by pirates at any time, a Golden Lion would only barge into Marlinford once every hundred years.
There were also these hot-blooded recruits who had their own dreams. In addition to pursuing justice, accumulating military merits to become a colonel officer and settling their families in the navy headquarters were also their motivation to join the army.
The normal navy enlistment test was very simple. They only needed to check if there were any physical defects and intelligence problems. They simply wrote their name and read a paragraph of the newspaper. Then, they had to run around the field for 15 kilometers an hour. If they finished the run, they could stay. If they failed, they could leave.
This was because when the navy first joined the army, their combat strength was not good at all. There was no way to engage in close combat with pirates. They usually used firearms to attack. Using firearms required a large amount of gunpowder and other equipment, which had a requirement on the physical strength of the recruits.
It seemed that the test for new recruits was quite simple, but there were still many people who did not meet the standard. Although the physical fitness of the world of One Piece was generally high, because many places were ruled by pirates or evil navies, the civilians at the bottom could not even eat a full meal. If they were malnourished for a long time, their physique would be very poor and they would be eliminated.
The test for the new students of the naval academy was much more complicated. It was divided into strength, speed, destructive power, special abilities, and actual combat.
There was a minimum requirement for each test. Of course, if you were particularly outstanding in one of the tests, you could pass the test directly. For example, if you had already eaten a rare demon fruit, natural type, animal-type magical beast type, ancient type, etc. These fruits were too powerful and could pass the test directly. Because of their great potential, even if you had just eaten them not long ago, the navy was confident that they could nurture you into a top-notch expert.
Or if you were from a special race with strong genes and your combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, you could directly advance without being restricted by the rules.
Ze Long, Tina, and Logan were quietly queuing up when a serious argument suddenly broke out in front of them.
"What right does she have to cut the queue!"
"It's not fair!"
" How can you treat me differently…"
It turned out that a blue-haired girl was led by a navy major to register for the naval academy.
As a result, many recruits started to make a fuss. The navy, which they thought was absolutely righteous in their hearts, had actually begun to bow down to the nobles.
The blue-haired girl was so scared that she didn't know what to do. The navy major next to her shouted with red eyes,"" Stop quarreling and be quiet. Her name is Ain, and her father is Major General Deckman. He sacrificed himself when the Golden Lions attacked the navy headquarters to protect a large number of civilians. Later, he was taken in by General Zefa.”
The entire place quieted down. The atmosphere in the navy was actually very good. They were very respectful to those who died for justice.
So it was Ain. She had also enrolled in the school. He didn't know which class she was in. Ze Long thought of the little girl who loved to cry.
The people in the queue quieted down again. At this moment, someone stood up and said," Hmph, so what if my father sacrificed himself? It only proves that he's too weak. He died at the hands of pirates and still has the cheek to show off here. The navy should be a place where strength spoke.”
Everyone looked at the person who spoke. It was a 15 or 16-year-old youth with silver hair. He looked very cold.
"Wow, it's Smog. This is going to be interesting.”
"What Smog? It's that smoky youth!”
"Oh my God, is Smoggy a student of this batch?”
Many recruits and new academies were in an uproar because the young man who spoke was Smog, the possessor of the Natural Smoke Fruit.
The power of the Nature Element was unimaginable. In some backward areas, even the owners of the Nature Fruit were regarded as gods.
Therefore, when Smoggy stood up to criticize Ain, no one objected. Even the lieutenant commander standing next to Ain did not dare to refute, because Smoggy, who had the Nature Fruit, was almost from a different world from everyone present.
Right now, the three of them who were in the limelight in the Navy were all possessors of the Nature Element Fruit. Moreover, there was already news that the three of them could be promoted to the rank of General of the Navy after accumulating some military merits.
Therefore, no one dared to offend a future star.
