"Hina!"
"Power value: 750!"
Another powerhouse! Everyone is almost numb. Their general power level is around 300. Only a few extremely outstanding individuals have a level of more than 500. However, Hina, a girl, has a power level much higher than them. This leaves them feeling a bit frustrated.
"Hina is very unhappy!" Hina noticed that her strength seemed to lag behind that guy Smoker. She couldn't help but mutter, then glanced at Smoker in the team and returned to her position.
"What is this guy looking at me for? Is he provoking me?" Smoker thought in a depressed tone when he saw Hina looking at him a little unhappily.
"Next! Canos Atlas!"
Hearing this name, everyone who was a little bored after waiting cheered up a little, and even Zephyr on the side also cast a concerned look.
Atlas walked forward calmly, took a deep breath, gripped the ground with his toes, his body sank, and he suddenly exerted force!
"Tekkai Kaisu Tori no Toge (Iron body Shatter Bird Thorn)!"
Atlas shouted loudly and used a move derived from Iron Body to hit the machine hard with a jab!
"Power value: 5000!!!"
"Boom!"
When the cold electronic synthesized sound announced Atlas's results, the crowd immediately became excited, and even Zephyr was distracted for a moment. The recruits may have expected that Atlas' power value might be slightly higher than the other two so-called monster recruits, but they didn't expect the gap to be so big!
With a power value of 5000, Atlas's actual combat power may be even higher than this value!
But Atlas himself was very calm. This result was within his expectation. After all, he was still an steel cutting swordsman!
"Okay! Be quiet! Continue with the next one!" Although Shuzo was also surprised, he came out in time to stop the recruits' discussion and continued to host the following tests.
...
Naval Headquarters, Admiral Office.
Under the plaque of justice that reigns over the world, Sengoku, who wears frog glasses, is immersed in processing documents, and from time to time throws discarded documents to the goat for processing.
Suddenly, he paused, picked up the document in his hand and scanned it carefully, and then handed the document to the Vice Admiral Tsuru next to him.
"Tsuru, please take a look at this document."
Vice Admiral Tsuru on the side took the document from Sengoku's hand doubtfully, and then laughed out loud: "I really saw this kid right. His power is worth 5000. He is really a scary kid."
...
After the recruit test, Shuzo informed the recruits with a strength value below 500 to undergo basic physical training first, while those with a strength value above 500 will receive Shuzo's special physical training tomorrow. Fortunately for Atlas, all of their dormitory mates passed, and even Rosinante, who seemed to be relatively thin, had a strength value of 520, which was just up to standard.
"Are you Atlas? Hina wants to get to know you."
Just after the disbandment, Atlas was about to go to the cafeteria with Smoker and the others to have a meal when a girl with sassy light pink hair parted in the middle and purple-lensed sunglasses blocked their way.
"Ah, oh, hello, my name is Atlas."
Atlas was stunned for a moment, but he still reacted and answered.
"Hina wants to compete with you. I have heard from Smoker that you are very powerful."
Atlas turned his head and looked at the confused Smoker with an expressionless expression. It turns out it was you, the little brat, who caused trouble for me!
"Sorry, you are too weak! I have no interest." Atlas rejected Hina's challenge without hesitation. He joked that fighting with her would not be as good as going to the cafeteria to eat meat. He then passed Hina and walked straight towards the cafeteria.
"Ah, brother, wait for me!" The three Smokers next to them were also confused by Atlas's straightforward refusal. When they saw Atlas walking away, they hurried to catch up.
Hina, who stayed where she was, looked at Atlas's leaving back and clenched her fists, a will to refuse to admit defeat ignited in her heart. She had never been so crushed by her peers since she was a child. She only looked at Smoker a little higher because of his Logia Devil Fruit.
...
As night fell, Atlas continued his evening practice as usual.
"Kid, how about I be your opponent?"
Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind Atlas.
"Zephyr Instructor!?" Atlas exclaimed, a little surprised to see Chief Instructor Zephyr here.
"Atlas, I have been paying attention to you for a long time, and I just feel a little itchy today..."
"It's what I asked for." Atlas grinned and said excitedly.
"Soru!" Atlas' leg muscles exerted force, and he moved in front of Zephyr instantly. His body was like a tight bow, and his arms suddenly became thicker! He attacked Zephyr's face directly!
Zephyr's expression remained unchanged, and his palm blocked the direction of Atlas's fist as if he had predicted it. He firmly grasped Atlas's fist, then took a step forward, exerting force on his waist, trying to give Atlas a blow. Lars throws him over the shoulder!
"Tekkai Hiza-uchi Kami no chikara(Iron Body Knee Strike Divine Power)!" How could Atlas let Zephyr get his wish so easily? He used the Tekkai that he had already cultivated to an extremely advanced level in conjunction with the Ox Talisman and directly hit Zephyr with a knee strike.
Zephyr quickly reached out to block this powerful and heavy knee strike, and Atlas avoided the fate of being thrown over his shoulder.
"Kid, you have good strength and quick reflexes, and your Tekkai training is also very good!" Seeing Atlas defusing his counterattack so skillfully, he couldn't help but admire him.
"But I'm going to get serious next time, be careful, kid!"
"Tekkai Cho shizen-tekina chikara (Iron Body Supernatural Power)!"
Zephyr's response was Atlas's fist. The continuous punches were so fast that it gave people the illusion of hundreds or even thousands of punches.
"Hahaha, Tekkai Kotetsu (Iron Body Steel)!" Naturally, Zephyr could not be deceived by this kind of blindness. With his powerful sight, he could clearly catch Atlas's fist, and then accurately put the weapon on it which distributed the impact points of Atlas's fists.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bursts of dull blows sounded, and Atlas couldn't help but shake his numb fist; it was so hard! Completely unable to break through Zephyr's armored defense.
"Hahahaha, not bad strength!" Zephyr was also shocked by Atlas's power. The 17-year-old Atlas had such great strength. If Zephyr had not known in advance that Atlas was a pure physical powerhouse, otherwise, he would really suspect that he had secretly eaten Devil Fruit.
"Itto-ryu Raikiri Kami no Chikara (Lightning Blade Divine Power)!" Seeing that the fist attack was ineffective against Zephyr, Atlas decisively pulled out the Sandai Kitetsu from his waist and struck Zephyr!
A bright sword light appeared instantly, almost lighting up the darkness of this space. The originally cold and windy night suddenly became filled with a biting chill. This was a sword-drawing technique!
The sharp sword intent struck at Zephyr, and Zephyr suddenly felt a chill all over his body. The sword light seemed to cut his body in half.
Zephyr's eyes lit up. This sword can almost cause extremely serious damage to Vice Admiral and below, especially those who are not skilled in armament haki. However, although the speed of this sword is very fast and the timing of the sword is extremely clever, with Zephyr's powerful observation Haki, he managed to dodge it.
Soru!
Zephyr appeared in front of Atlas in an instant, clinging to him with his armed body, and punched Atlas in the lower abdomen with his dark fist! Atlas clearly reacted to what he saw, but Zephyr's speed was too fast, and his body had no time to counterattack.
Boom!
Tekkai Gorira (Iron Body Gorilla)!
