Soon, another group came from afar led by Marine Headquarters Recruit Instructor, Zephyr!
Behind him were Ain, Rowen, and Shuzo who lined up in sequence. All three of them were dressed in formal attire and were wearing their Justice cloaks. They followed Zephyr, who had broad shoulders and walked with the strength and determination of a Tiger, as they stepped onto the Battleship.
Many of the Recruits were familiar with Ain and Shuzo. After all, these two were mentioned quite often in Recruit Camp and they both perform actual combat training with Zephyr every year.
Many people are undoubtedly excited by the new face that appears today.
"It's RowenRear Admiral!"
"I have seen his performance in year-end reviews, he was amazing!"
Looking at the tall figure who looked indifferent and hit hatch from time to time while walking, the recruits gradually stopped talking.
Oye Oye!
Stop acting like Admiral Aokiji!
We know who you are!
…
Rowen didn't sleep well yesterday, and he was forced to memorize the pirate group information in one night.
A group of pirates, whose total bounty is less than 30 Million Belly, made Rowen memorize their information in one night.
The recruit camp's actual combat exercise focuses on training new recruits by exposing them to real combat situations. Unless there is an unforeseen circumstance, high-level combat power such as Zephyr will not be deployed.
The main attacking soldiers are led by the instructor of their respective teams to charge and save, as per established protocols.
As a measure of security, it is not guaranteed that they will always appear whenever someone's life is in danger. However, they must be present when the soldiers are unable to deal with the enemies to prevent unnecessary damage.
Therefore, it is crucial for Zephyr and others to know the strengths of the enemy, who is unbeatable in certain situations, when to intervene, and when not to.
Rowen, who has not had any experience with actual combat exercises, is now being used as a safety device in one step and has a lot to learn.
Naturally, he only needs to learn about the members of the enemy camp and does not need to study them in depth. Zephyr does not expect him to follow him all the time.
As a result, Rowen's head is now spinning and he does not know when he will be able to leave the ship.
"Um?" Rowen suddenly felt like someone was staring at him, and he opened his eyes halfway and looked down. "Is there a problem?"
He saw a group of new recruits, their youthful appearance reminded him of himself from many years ago.
Not just a year ago, but many years ago. At that time, he was just like these young men, facing the strong figures in a society ruled by laws, his eyes filled with admiration and fear.
But today is different. Today, Rowen has broken away from his original path and has awakened from his ignorant worship, and he will never succumb to worship again.
The recruits did not speak but they excitedly shook their heads. The actual combat exercise is about to start, and this group of recruits is nervous and anxious, which is understandable.
Given the legends that have been passed down in the recruiting camp, this kind of reaction is quite normal.
"Sure enough, there are no good seedlings among these recruits!" Rowen observed that almost everyone had this attitude, and very few were able to keep calm.
He couldn't help but sigh. It's no wonder that the well-known Marine generals in the original story are all elderly. Tina and Smoker were probably the best rookies in recent years in the original timeline.
But thankfully…
"Good luck in the upcoming fights, now pay attention!" Patting the recruit on the shoulder, Rowen glanced at Zephyr who was standing in front of the team talking under the recruit's excited gaze, he found a position for himself, sat down, and started to doze off again.
This group of recruits is fortunate because they joined after the second phase of the Thunder Lightning Stimulation Device has been completed. Whether they are naturally talented or not, they will be able to become skilled soldiers after they survive and undergo rigorous training.
Beep! Beep!
The battleship blew its whistle and the large iron gate was lowered to reveal the passage into the open sea, and the war behemoth slowly left the port.
At the same time, in the temporarily renovated laboratory at Port No. 7.
"Nani?!"
Kuāng Dāng!
Vegapunk, ignoring the wrench that was slammed on the steel plate, carefully looked at the black-suited messenger who reported the news, "You mean Rear Admiral Rowen left just now?"
Being locked in by Vegapunk's intense gaze, the messenger in a black suit, despite his strength of 10x, was still sweating nervously. "Yes…Yes! The Recruit Camp actual combat exercise has started, and he went with the chief Instructor Zephyr."
Hiss...!!
Vegapunk was clutching his abdomen with an ache. After a moment, he ran to Caesar's area and kicked the door open with a loud noise.
"Caesar!!!"
…
It is important for recruiters to practice combat because it allows them to gain real-world experience and prepare them for the dangers they may face in the future. Even Vegapunk, who is not qualified to make decisions for them, recognizes this.
Additionally, Rowen has been granted a three-month holiday and can follow Zephyr to gain experience in actual combat and Sengoku would also be very pleased with this situation.
After the War Behemoth left the Marine Headquarters speed limit area, it immediately moved forward at full speed, quickly passing the Sabaody Archipelago and heading towards the target point.
Scissorhand Pirates, Captain Edward·Tim, Bounty 35 million Belly.
Unlike a certain movie character, Edward here is a normal human being, well normal in the One Piece World. His nickname comes from his broken wrist. While other pirates prefer to install a dexterous and convenient scimitar or iron hook, he has installed a pair of scissors.
He likes to clamp the opponent's weapon and then use his other hand to smash the weapon, that's why he's called "Scissorhand" Edward.
In the first half of the Grand Line, having a bounty of 30 million is enough to call oneself a pirate, but to be truly recognized, one must have a bounty of at least 50 million. Edward Tim is just stuck in this range. His strength is suitable for new recruits to practice on.
After all, it is the Headquarters Recruit Camp!
There are no weak people here, there are only individuals who have not been trained to their full potential yet!
With the strength of these individuals, if they are properly arranged to exert their maximum combat power, they can even defeat the opponent without the help of Zephyr and others.
