Garp wants to see him?
Roja's first reaction was, of course, surprise. After all, Garp is the strongest navy hero!
Instead of racking his brain trying to figure out how to stimulate his Conqueror's Haki ability, it would be better to go and see Garp. Perhaps Garp could become an opportunity for him to improve his Conqueror's Haki?
"Okay, I'll be there right away." With that thought, Roja agreed without hesitation, opened the door, and walked out. Guided by the marine who delivered the message, he soon arrived at the lobby of the Navy Headquarters.
In the lobby, dozens of marines stood in a line, and the scene was quite shocking. Among them, Garp, with his head full of white hair, stood in the middle, eating a bag of senbei, with two young men beside him.
"Hahaha! You must be Roja, right? I heard you've awakened the Conqueror's Haki and learned the Six Form Styles?" Garp walked toward Roja, eating senbei, a smile on his face. Don't be fooled by Garp's playful and unserious demeanor; Roja could still feel an overwhelming pressure coming from him. Perhaps this is the aura of a born strong person!
"Yes, Vice Admiral Garp!" Roja saluted straight away.
"Very good, you're indeed a good seedling." Garp walked around Roja, sizing him up and nodding with a satisfied smile. Before Roja could speak, Garp said decisively, "Roja, come to my ship. Just in time, I need a captain for my ship!"
As soon as Garp spoke, all the marines in the hall were shocked and started talking among themselves. Vice Admiral Garp had high standards for selecting his subordinates, and many people had become famous after joining Garp's command. Even the current Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Aokiji, had once been one of Garp's subordinates.
"No way, Vice Admiral Garp is recruiting him as captain?"
"This is really rare!"
"This kid is really lucky!"
"..."
Now, Roja was so young and yet already appreciated by Garp, directly promoted to major captain on Garp's ship. He must have a bright future, and these marines felt more envious and admired, in addition to a bit of jealousy.
Even Roja himself was stunned. At that moment, the system's voice sounded.
[Ding! The host has been favored by the legendary hero of the navy, Garp, and his fame has soared. Armament Haki has been unlocked!]
[Congratulations to the host for starting the automatic training project for Armament Haki!]
Hearing the system's prompt, Roja was immediately surprised. "So, seeking favor works like this? It's just like the famous generals in the Three Kingdoms seeking favor from their lords!" Sure enough, Garp was an opportunity. Although he didn't unlock automatic training for Conqueror's Haki, he unexpectedly unlocked the training project for Armament Haki, which was a pleasant surprise.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Vice Admiral Garp!" Roja, filled with joy, didn't forget to salute Garp to express his gratitude.
Suddenly, one of the young men beside Garp came over.
"Wait!" The young man said.
"Vice Admiral Garp, this isn't in accordance with the rules. Is this person really that powerful? Coby and I aren't bad, so why did you promote him directly?" The young man glanced at Roja and questioned Garp.
"Berumelber!"
"Stop it, okay?" Another young man hurried over to intervene, apologizing to Garp: "I'm sorry, Vice Admiral Garp. Berumelber was just joking. Please don't take it seriously."
The two young men were Coby and Berumelber.
"What do you mean 'joking,' Vice Admiral Garp? I'm serious! I don't believe he's really that good. I want to compete with him!" Berumelber was aggressive, still unable to shake his arrogant and domineering attitude, despite training under Garp for a while.
After saying that, Berumelber immediately turned to Roja and taunted, "What do you think? Do you dare to compete with me?"
"Okay, I accept." Without giving Vice Admiral Garp a chance to intervene, Roja immediately agreed. It was a perfect opportunity to test his strength and, at the same time, show others his capabilities.
"Alright, you two can compete. Let me see the results of your training," Garp said, meeting their high morale with a smile.
"Don't worry, Vice Admiral Garp!"
"Hmph!"
"I'm trained by Vice Admiral Garp!"
"Watch this!"
Berumelber snorted coldly, then drew two slashes from his back and attacked Roja confidently.
Six Form Styles, Tekkai!
Facing Berumelber's attack, Roja, full of confidence, did not dodge. Instead, he used one of the Six Form Styles, Tekkai.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the two slashes collided with Roja's stance, as if striking hard steel. After all, Roja's Six Form Styles had reached the intermediate level under the system's tenfold automatic training. How could a guy like Berumelber, who couldn't even use Armament Haki, hurt Roja, who was using Tekkai?
"What? This is impossible! Your Tekkai is at this level?" Berumelber's face was full of surprise.
Sixth Form Style, Shigan!
Roja didn't bother talking much and used the Finger Gun technique from the Sixth Form Style. He pierced Berumelber's left arm without hesitation, causing blood to splatter.
Clang!
As the two knives hit the ground, Berumelber knelt, clutching his bleeding arm and wailing in pain.
At this moment, all the marines watching the battle were filled with shock. None of them expected Roja to be so powerful. He took down Berumelber with just one move of the Shigan.
Garp, however, was still leisurely eating his senbei, clearly unbothered by the outcome. After all, he had taught Berumelber and knew full well that Berumelber hadn't even mastered the Six Form Styles, let alone Armament Haki. In contrast, Roja had mastered both the Six Form Styles and the Conqueror's Haki.
"Sure enough, the system is amazing!" Roja thought to himself. "This intermediate Six Form Styles, cultivated automatically, is so powerful."
"It's a shame that this 'minion' can't challenge me at all. The system didn't trigger any rewards," Roja muttered.
"Berumelber!" Coby ran up to support his friend and yelled at Roja, "What did you do to my friend?"
"Don't worry, he won't die," Roja waved dismissively.
"Damn you! You hurt my friend and still act like this! Vice Admiral Garp, I request to compete with him!" Coby shouted angrily.
When Garp heard this, he not only didn't stop it but nodded, indicating his consent.
