Pirate: Soul Blade

The restaurant was already overcrowded at this moment, with sailors sitting everywhere, working frantically on the rice in their bowls, sometimes raising their heads to chat with their partners.

"I heard that a recruit took the graduation exam early this morning and almost demolished the entire playground."

"Yes, yes, I was just about to tell you, that guy's name is Yongen, right? I heard that the sentries on patrol later rushed over, thinking that some audacious guy dared to come to the Navy Headquarters to cause trouble again."

"This guy is too scary. It is said that he has only been at the Navy Headquarters for half a year. In time, he is now a full-fledged Navy Admiral."

"Oh, stop talking. It's really annoying to compare people to each other. It's been six years since I graduated and I'm still just a second lieutenant in the navy."

"Who isn't?"

……

Yongen and Smoker walked in, looked around and saw that there was no place to sit down, and then went to window number three, which they were most familiar with.

There were several navy girls around who secretly looked at Yongen. After feeling his gaze again, they quickly blushed and pretended to look away.

Like a frightened rabbit

Yongen smiled calmly at them, and then followed the team in front to wait for food. It was obvious that he was accustomed to these looks.

Taking the plate that had received special care from the cafeteria aunt, he found a seat in a corner and sat down. Then he turned around and asked Smoker next to him.

"How's it going? Are you confident in the six-style test this afternoon?"

Smoker had a grimace on his face and replied in despair, "Forget it, you don't know me yet. Ever since I learned the Sixth Form of Navy, I have never been at the bottom."

Yongen couldn't help but smile when he saw Smoker's desperate look, "I told you a long time ago not to rely too much on the fruit's ability. You won't suffer a big loss now."

"Then who knew that this thing would be tested in the exam? If I had known that there was such a thing, I wouldn't be able to sleep. It would be a test."

……

The venue in the afternoon was not the same place as the one in the morning. It was changed from the original playground to the training ground of the recruit camp that everyone is familiar with.

The originally small training ground was instantly crowded with people. The ground was filled with darkness at this moment, and Yongen, the culprit who caused all this, was walking towards here in a hurry.

The second game was even bigger than the one in the morning. Five lieutenant generals from the headquarters were dispatched to serve as judges, and a dozen major generals were around to maintain order.

Except for the absence of the admiral, it is almost the configuration of the Demon Slayer Order. This shows how much the senior management of the headquarters attaches great importance to this assessment.

A huge arena was placed on the training ground, and five lieutenant generals of the headquarters were sitting on the judges' bench below. They were constantly scanning the surrounding recruits.

Just like the prostitutes who come to a brothel to choose their favorite courtesans.

All the recruits felt a little uneasy

"This... is too exaggerated... These are five lieutenant generals, not five big cabbages. It's just an assessment. Why do you have to create such a big posture?"

"Damn it, Lieutenant General Weasel looked at me just now. That look and aura almost pissed me off."

"What are you talking about? I've already peed."

"Don't worry about peeing or not, look at that guy Yongen is coming."

Several veterans looked over one after another. After what happened this morning, almost no one dared to look down upon this young man with two swords wrapped around his waist.

Yongen walked here as leisurely as in the morning, turning a blind eye to these looks.

After a brief glance at the training ground, I couldn't help but sigh at the scale of this second assessment. The people sitting on the judges' bench were none other than five veteran lieutenant generals who had participated in the Demon Slaying Order.

Sitting in the front position is the familiar Dauberman, and those further to the right are Huoshaoshan, Stoloberg, Ghost Spider and Weasel with a cigarette in his mouth.

Several people noticed Yong En's gaze and looked at the black-haired boy with interest.

"That kid is Yongen, he's not bad. He looks very energetic." The first person to speak was a lieutenant general with a smile on his face and a cigar in his mouth.

"Hahahaha, how about burning the mountain? Do you want me to help you marry him as a wife?" The ghost spider sitting on his right teased him.

"That's not necessary. I don't dare to offend that girl Zhuyuan. I don't know how this guy's Sixth Form of the Navy is. I think back then my Sixth Form overwhelmed even Kizaru."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What's there to brag about? Who didn't know that guy Porusalino's Sixth Form was the worst in the entire battalion?" Weasel exposed it mercilessly.

"Okay, okay, it's almost time. It's time to prepare for the second assessment." Dauberman glanced at the watch in his hand and interrupted without letting them continue the topic.

No matter how many lieutenant generals come, he is still the person in charge of this assessment. As long as this task remains, he must continue to be responsible for the assessment.

……

The time has come to 2pm

It was time for the assessment to begin. Dauberman stood up from his chair, arranged his clothes to make sure they were correct, and then slowly walked to the ring.

When the veterans who were still whispering saw the figure walking onto the ring, they immediately closed their mouths as a reflex, and the originally noisy training ground fell silent.

Dauberman seems to have a blood pressure on them.

"Okay, the time has come. Next, I will officially announce the official start of the second assessment, the Navy Type [-] test. Those who have not yet arrived will be deemed to have abstained."

"Let me briefly explain the rules."

"The people whose names I called came to the stage in pairs to compete. During the battle, they can only use the Sixth Marine Style to compete. They are not allowed to use Devil Fruit or other abilities."

"The one who falls off the ring or collapses to the ground during this period is the winner. The five judges below will rate your performance, so even if you defeat your opponent, your results will not be very satisfactory."

"The rules of the competition do not allow for surrender or such a negative attitude. If you are found to have such a negative attitude, you will be immediately disqualified from the assessment and assigned to the Sihai branch. The branch will never admit anyone again."

"Okay, that's it for the rules. Now you line up to draw lots, and then register the number plates you drew to the staff present."

Dauberman went through a series of notes about the second assessment, and couldn't help but feel a little thirsty. He quickly walked off the ring and took a swig.

Looking at the teenagers lining up in front of him, waiting for the lottery, he couldn't help but wave to Huo Shaoshan who was in a daze next to him, "Hey, Smiling Tiger, I'm a little curious, who do you like among these guys besides Yong En?"

"That green-haired young man following Yong En with a cigar in his mouth?" Huo Shaoshan still maintained his kind smile, which is almost his signature.

"I know that guy. Yongen was originally ranked No. 1 in this class, but when Yongen came, he was promoted to No. 3. This guy's physical skills have always been weak." Dauberman analyzed Huoshaoshan.

"If he can improve his physical skills, he will be a lieutenant general in the future, but this time I am still most optimistic about Stephen." Even though the results in the last round were not ideal, Stephen is still his most proud disciple.
