After that, Lightning's 100-Meter Race Results...that number is not a big concern for anyone.
At the speed of Thunder and Lightning, it is considered slow to run 100 Meters in 2.5 Seconds. Kizaru could do that in 0.3 Seconds when he was at the Recruit Camp!
For Glint-Glint Fruit and Rumble-Rumble Fruit, this value is not a test of their real speed... How fast can an ordinary people move with electricity? There's no real measuring unit for that.
This test doesn't even make sense for these two Devil Fruit Users!
Is the speed at their peak can even be tested?
If they change to a simple Speed Test and let the current Kizaru go then there would be no time interval at all, he would arrive instantly at the other point, exceeding the reaction limit of the Test Device! When Rowen learns Enel's Teleportation Process through the electromagnetic field, there will also be no time interval in him arriving at the endpoint.
Therefore, this value mainly reflects the speed and slowness of their ability to release their Devil Fruit Powers, as well as their ability to capture targets in dynamic vision during high-speed movement, and the overall test of the coordination between the Devil Fruit use and their Physical Body.
A hundred-meter race in a test field is not a simple rush; instead, results are counted only if the person being tested stay in a specified area. The Recruit Camp does not teach Observation Haki. Before the autonomous Awakening of Haki, they can only use their vision.
It is conceivable that within 2.5 seconds, in addition to wasting time in becoming the lightning and moving with the help of lightning at the moment of his departure, Rowen must have slowed down to determine his position.
He was discovered by a Sharp-Eyed Instructor and he directly deducted 20 points for that. Otherwise, his time would definitely be about 1 second, which would have gotten him 100 points.
Finally, it was the actual combat test with full marks...
"Ahem, let's see how he... uh... how did he defeat Shuzo?"
After calming down the atmosphere in his office, Sengoku gave a dry cough and gave someone a quiet glance.
As soon as his voice fell, Zephyr, who was still amazed a second ago, immediately lowered his face and snorted coldly: "Don't look at me! If I tell it in a good way then I can say that Shuzo lost because of his carelessness and he underestimated the enemy, and bluntly put, He was stupid!!!"
However, Zephyr stood up and the expression on his face became gloomy.
"I will teach him a good lesson when I go back, how dare he lose to a New Recruit!!"
As Shuzo's teacher, Shuzo is also Zephyr's favorite disciple. As soon as he got the information, he scanned the details of the battle.
After discovering that Shuzo was being played around by his opponent, and he was finally suffocated and defeated while trapped in an iron ball, Zephyr's anger almost exploded out, to say he was furious would be an understatement!
Had it not been for him coming to the Fleet Admiral's office and the meeting hadn't officially ended, he would have rushed out early to pull Shuzo up from the hospital bed and sent him to Hell Island for additional training!
"Calm Down!"
Sengoku comforted him dryly, but when he noticed Zephyr's eyes, he knew it was useless to say more. So he mourned for a second in his heart then he turned his head and looked at the woman who was rickety and frowning, but whose eyes were full of wisdom.
"Tsuru, what do you think?"
"Not Bad!"
Marine Headquarters Great Staff Officer Tsuru, the myth in the hearts of all-female Marine Soldiers, this goddess had been chased by a large group of people when they were young, Tsuru will not hesitate to admire someone who deserves it just because of Zephyr's feelings.
"This is a standard case of defeating the strong by acting weak but in this case, the one who defeated was actually weak, it is enough to be included in the textbook! I recommend to immediately revise the textbook compilation so that the little brats who complain all the time in the Military Academy know that persistence can lead to victory!"
Tsuru gave a high evaluation in the first sentence, and even made a proposal to modify the textbook by which Marines were taught! However, no one has an opinion on this, because they can't make Rowen's more Perfect Record even if they put themselves in his position!
With a calm sigh, Tsuru picked up the information and looked at Rowen's smiling photo before saying.
"... No matter how strong the enemy is, he is also a human being. He would need oxygen to breathe. This is a well-known weakness for anyone. But how can it be so easy to take advantage of? At least this report here makes some sense, I wouldn't have been able to think of any other way."
"... But Rowen is different! Presumably, after discovering the existence of the Underground area made completely out of steel, he immediately got an idea in his mind! So he first angered Shuzo and pulled him into the steel passage environment that is more beneficial to him, using his speed to contain him; then he slowly planned his layout without exposing his ability to use Thunder in smelted Iron, Shuzo was introduced into the trap step by step; In the end, even Rowen was tired and collapsed, he made sure to keep the Iron Ball intact and he waited for Shuzo to suffocate and won the victory! Such flexible thinking, decisive judgment, Tenacious character, I have to say... Garp, you really did bring someone amazing here. You finally did something good in your life"
"Tsuru-chan, what do you mean?"
Garp blew out his nose and stared in front, unwilling to look at Tsuru.
"I have been going through life and death situation here for so many here, isn't it a good thing?!"
Regarding this, Tsuru did not even look at him and she spits out a name.
"Huadu West Island..."
Garp suddenly... wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye, he sat back in his position and said nothing, venting with the doughnut in his hand.
"Ahem, no matter what, Rowen did defeat Shuzo and this is an established fact."
Sengoku stood up and concluded: "Next, his training will be handed over to Zephyr. We must ensure that he grows in all directions without leaving any loopholes! We will look at his results four months later and we will reevaluate him again!"
Although Zephyr was angry with Shuzo's defeat, he would certainly not become angry towards Rowen. On the contrary, he liked this young man very much, and he was waiting to meet him and train him to the best of his abilities.
"Understand!"
With a nod, Sengoku patted the table and continued: "Also, Strengthen the precautions and search for any traces of the Baroque Work Agency!"
"Since they dare to do it once, there will definitely be a second or a third time...Put them down on the Grand Line. I don't want to hear that the Four Seas and the New World are doing the same thing, okay?!"
"Yes!"
No matter how good their relationship is, Sengoku is also the Fleet Admiral.
The others stood up at the same time and saluted him.
The Alabasta incident occurred in Sea Calander in 1520, and there are still 6 years left until the start of the original timeline. But before the three-year drought and the rise of the rebels, the Baroque Work Agency actually existed.
The person behind it, from the general point of view, is a well-known figure to all pirate fans.
In the era after Roger became the Pirate King, the Shichibukai system was established more than 20 years ago to curb the pirate activities which were increasingly rampant in the Sea.
A member of the first Shichibukai was now in Alabasta, he is the Logia Sand Sand Devil Fruit Ability user, known as "Sand Crocodile," or "Sir Crocodile".
After failing to challenge Whitebeard that year, in order to find the power of Surmount Whitebeard, Crocodile went to Alabasta to seek Pluton according to the clues he had gotten, so he accepted the government's call to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and he established the Baroque Works as a cover.
Baroque Work has one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea as their backer and the agency is still growing at a fast and scary rate.
Prior to this, they had always used Assassinations and Arms Trading as their main activities. They never deliberately helped any pirate or interfered in the country's internal affairs. They honestly acted as members of the Underground World for the purpose of making money.
Marine's attempts to arrest them have failed to yield significant returns and pressure from corrupt government officials who have taken advantage of them had made it so that the information has already been thrown into the corner.
But today, in the Sea Calander in 1514, the Baroque Work agency made an amazing move!
They participated in the internal dispute of one of the World Government Allied Kingdom Members!
