Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"Clap~Clap~Clap~"

In the training ground, the recruit training ground at this time has been transformed into a simple shooting range. Skyler looked at the bullet casings in the ground and the target papers left on the ground after replacement. He felt somewhat similar to when he first came to the training ground.

This is the first session of the ordnance assessment, the use of muskets, including loading and unloading, maintenance, loading of gunpowder, and final shooting.

Skyler knows the first few items. With her memory, she can remember the steps clearly even after just a few glances. What's more, Gion brought back a handful last night to familiarize Skyler with them.

Although the time card did not meet the full score line, there was still no problem with a high score. It was just the final shot that made Skyler a little weak.

She had never touched a gun, not even during the military training at the university in her previous life. She went to the university with great interest to report and looked forward to touching a gun during the military training, but she did not see it until the end of the military training.

When he parted with the instructor, he asked about it and found out that it was during the military training of the previous class and something almost happened, so he simply didn't even give out guns to the students that class.

When I came to the Navy Headquarters, I had touched guns many times, but I had never fired a real gun. Skyler didn't even know how much strength it took to pull the trigger. How to aim, he only learned about it from books and yesterday. I learned about it late at night when I was out of ammunition.

The training ground is hundreds of meters wide, and there is a whole row of desks filled with people taking the assessment, so the progress is very fast. Every recruit who participates in the assessment can complete it within 2 minutes.

Therefore, less than 10 minutes after it started, the recruits in front of Skyler's row were already completed.

It was Skyler's turn. Looking at the musket that the person in front of him had just used, Skyler finally recalled the steps of this exam.

The first step is to disassemble the musket used by the previous person into parts, and then quickly wipe and maintain it with deerskin and special oil.

Then the musket is assembled, loaded with gunpowder, and hit three targets of 20 meters, 50 meters, and 100 meters. Fortunately, it is a fixed target. Each target can be hit three times, and the highest number of rings is taken.

After a quick review in his mind, the navy man standing next to him, who had graduated and returned to supervise the exam, said "start".

Skyler no longer hesitated. He first picked up the musket, placed the butt against his abdomen, and grabbed the middle of the musket with his left hand. After leaning on it, he grabbed the pull bolt with his right hand and pulled it, disassembling the first part.

Skyler found that the feeling of disassembly was no different from last night. The tension in his heart was slightly reduced, and the movements of his hands gradually became lighter.

Although it was a little slower than the recruits around me who went out to practice and shoot together every morning, it was not much slower.

After disassembly, he picked up the deerskin and a small bottle, poured some maintenance oil, and Skyler quickly wiped the parts that needed oiling.

Then use the side without oil to wipe off the excess grease on the parts, and reassemble them in the order of disassembly.

Then came the filling of gunpowder and projectiles. After preparations were completed, Skyler picked up the musket and aimed at the nearest 20-meter target in front.

"Clap~"

A shot was fired, and the navy next to him said: "Missed the target!"

As expected!

Skyler said to herself in her mind, trying not to be nervous, and then reloaded the gunpowder. She tried her best to keep her body and steps motionless.

Then he aimed the gun again, thinking about the direction of the projectile, slightly adjusted it, and pulled the trigger.

"Clap~"

"Missed the target!"

Although it hit the target this time, it did not hit anywhere within the ring line, so it could not be counted as a score.

Skyler took a deep breath and repeated the loading action again. This time, she adjusted it a little less and pulled the trigger.

"Clap~"

"Five rings!"

The sound of the target announcement came, and Skyler breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hit the target.

With the experience of 20-meter target, Skyler relaxed a lot when shooting 50-meter target and 100-meter target.

With her eyesight and body control, different distances had little effect on her. After all, it was impossible for her to achieve such high results unless she was lucky.

For Skyler, for targets at different distances, the change is only the range of her own adjustment. The farther the target, the smaller the range of adjustment.

In the end, Skyler's results were registered as five rings, four rings, and five rings.

It was a very ordinary result, but Skyler was very satisfied. After all, such a result was enough to pass the test.

He put down his musket, saluted the veterans beside him, then left the field and headed to the assessment site where the artillery was located.

The ordnance assessment consists of three sub-projects, namely the control of muskets, artillery and warships.

One morning was enough time to complete the task. Skyler did not have any outstanding results, but this was within her expectation. Her self-requirements for the ordnance assessment were just passing.

When the morning assessment was over, Skyler breathed a sigh of relief. He originally wanted to reward himself with two more bowls of rice for lunch, but considering that there would be a practical assessment in the afternoon, Skyler decided to save the extra two bowls of rice until tonight.

After a brief lunch break, he didn’t take a nap. After all, he was too energetic to fall asleep. When the time for the assessment was almost here, Skyler also took the blade box and headed to the assessment place.

In order to cope with this assessment, Gion even bought a long knife of good quality. Considering his own assessor, Skyler had no choice but to accept it shamelessly.

After all, nothing unexpected happened... It should be said that if she hadn't been lucky, her career as a recruit would have been over. She would have been assigned to a general's warship when she returned from the vacation, and she would have had military pay by then.

The actual combat assessment was conducted indoors, at least Skyler's assessment was conducted at the indoor training ground. When he came to the building where the training ground was located, Skyler saw two people who looked very unusual.

Dauberman, whom I talked to during the entrance examination, and the cold-looking Ghost Spider.

Skyler stepped forward, looked at Dauberman who had become more majestic and tough than a year ago, and said hello: "Dauberman! Long time no see!"

Dauberman smiled, recognizing Skyler, and responded, "Long time no see, Skyler."

Looking at Skyler, Dauberman took stock and said, "You've grown a lot taller."

Skyler stood on tiptoes and patted Dauberman's elbow. She originally wanted to pat Dauberman's shoulder, but her height was a flaw. In the past year, adequate nutrition and training have allowed her to In less than a minute, he grew ten centimeters taller.

But compared with the nearly three-meter-strong man in front of her, she was still very short.

Skyler's action made the corners of Dauberman's mouth raise even more. The ghost spider with a cold expression on the side couldn't help but glance at Skyler.

Compared with the little girl when she entered school, Skyler is already a bit more sassy now, not only in terms of height, but also in the changes in temperament brought about by strength.

Ghost Spider combed his hair, which was longer than Skyler, and said, "Are you the strongest recruit in Lieutenant General Porusalino's phalanx?"

While speaking, Ghost Spider looked at the three sabers on Skyler's blade box. The corners of his mouth curled up, and his hair moved automatically, slightly pushing out the eight long knives hanging on his body.

Skyler also subconsciously put his hand on his saber. The swordsman's sword was full of power, and the two became tit for tat.

"Ahaha~ It seems that my opponent is very energetic!"

"Skyler is not too generous! It seems that this afternoon is a bit interesting."

"I hope that big guy can endure a little beating!"

In the distance, several voices came, blowing away the swords that Ghost Spider and Skyler had gathered.
