One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 51 An’s Assessment

The beginning of the year 1512 in the Haiyuan calendar.

It has been a month since the battle between An and Kuzan.

A large number of abandoned warships that could originally be seen outside the abandoned shipyard have now disappeared.

Inside the abandoned shipyard, fists were beating.

Bump bump bump...

The sound of hitting warships was heard.

He casually punched the warship, and with a loud bang, the warship was scattered in all directions.

He straightened up and shook the crumbs off his hands.

An murmured to himself, "I have almost mastered the rhythm of all things, and I should go back to the training camp."

An pushed her pink bicycle out of the corner and stepped up.

Singing unknown songs, he headed towards the training camp.

"Ride my beloved bike."

“It’s never~ stuck in traffic.”

……

Hearing the singing, the residents along the way were not surprised.

Some of the residents even echoed the sentiment.

The song sounds melodious~

An thought in his mind, "I don't know what Kuzan is doing now."

"As his most capable person in the future, An feels that he should pay more attention to Kuzan."

The Grand Line.

Kuzan, who easily eliminated the blind pirates and was riding a new bicycle, was returning to the navy headquarters.

Training camp is here.

Parking the pink bicycle steadily, An walked into the training camp.

In the square of the training camp, Zefa was assessing the students' Six Forms of Navy.

For students who perform poorly, Zefa provides verbal guidance.

Upon noticing An's arrival, Zefa didn't say anything and continued to assess the students seriously.

Seeing that Zefa ignored him, out of boredom, An simply started a one-million-meter long-distance run.

For An, Zefa, who is consciously exercising, is becoming more and more satisfied with this god-granddaughter.

The scenery moved back and An opened the system panel.

Dark blue plus dots.

Bond system.

……

After taking a closer look, An found two changes on the panel.

The first point: the bond point has become 18 points.

The second time: Seeing and hearing Haki changed from proficient to proficient.

I really miss the joy of my previous surge in strength, An Ru thought as I glanced at the system panel.

Everyone was sweating on the training ground, and the time came to noon before they knew it.

In the training camp restaurant, the chef and students became nervous again because of An's return.

Ann and Sally, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, sat at a table and listened to Sally talk about her progress.

……

In the afternoon, under the supervision of Zefa, everyone started a new round of training.

The sun was getting darker and the sun was setting on the square.

Line up! Zefa ordered the students to assemble.

Looking at the young students with sweat dripping down their cheeks, Zefa nodded in affirmation to them.

Facing the setting sun, Zefa said: "You have spent three months in the naval training camp. I am very satisfied with your performance in these three months."

Zefa's words stopped, and the atmosphere in the audience was dull.

The training camp has only been open for 3 months, and the trainees were informed before coming to the headquarters.

When they think of leaving these companions, roommates, and instructors who they live with day and night, everyone feels reluctant to leave.

In this chaotic sea, a separation may mean an eternity.

Seeing the scene in the audience, Zefa felt uncomfortable.

"The older you get, the more you miss the past. I am indeed getting old."

Putting aside this mood, Zefa continued to speak: "The training camp is over, and the headquarters will decide where you will go based on the students' final assessment results."

"The assessment is divided into two sessions."

"The first game, actual battle with pirates."

"This department will rate you based on the bounty of the pirates you kill."

"The second game is to challenge an active naval admiral."

"At that time, all the generals from the headquarters will come. If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to join them directly."

"Teacher Zefa, is it okay to serve under the general?"

"As long as you are strong enough, it is possible!" As he said that, Zefa glanced at An intentionally.

The great joy dissipated and the students' sad mood was gone.

Zefa did not attack them. It was not that simple to join the general's command.

"Then take a day off tomorrow and officially start the assessment the day after tomorrow."

Riding the sunset, Zefa left, leaving behind his final orders.

……

"Ah la la, I'm finally back. I wonder why the Warring States Marshal is looking for me?"

At Marinefando Port, Kuzan threw away his bicycle and headed to the marshal's office muttering.

In the marshal's office, Zefa, Sengoku, Garp, and He were waiting for Kuzan.

"Teacher Garp, you are here too!"

Kuzan, who opened the door and entered, noticed the four people in the office and said hello.

Seeing Kuzan arrive, Seng Guo directly stated his purpose.

"Kuzan, the final assessment of the training camp has begun,"

"But there's something you need to do."

"I need to do it." I don't know why An's figure appeared in Kuzan's mind.

"Is it because of An?"

"That's right!" Warring States replied: "An's strength is much higher than that of ordinary students, so we re-formulated An's assessment plan.

Kuzan nodded, agreeing with the Warring States Marshal's point of view.

To this day, Kuzan has never forgotten the scene when he was frozen by An.

This is the content of An's assessment this time.

Kuzan took the document and looked at it carefully.

"The first assessment is to capture one pirate with a bounty of 3 million and nine pirates with a bounty of 9 million."

"The second test is against the Major General of our headquarters."

There's no problem. With An's strength, he can complete it easily, Kuzan thought in his heart.

"There is nothing wrong with the content of the assessment, Marshal of the Warring States Period."

Um? Sengoku's eyes became subtle.

The two tasks listed by the four of them may not be completed even if some outstanding rear admirals try them.

The reason why Warring States asked Kuzan to come back was because Kuzan was familiar with An and should know her strength better.

Hearing Kuzan's unthinking affirmation, Warring States pondered in his mind.

"In that case, Kuzan, you will serve as An's proctor and supervise her assessment."

"Ah la la, it turns out this is the reason why I came back! It seems I can't refuse," Kuzan reluctantly agreed.

The four of them nodded. In that case, An's assessment will be left to you.

……

A night without words...

Two days later, at the Marinefando port, a warship was ready to go, and a large amount of supplies and ammunition were loaded onto the warship.

Groups of well-trained training camp students lined up onto the warship.

The sails were raised and swaying in the wind.

Zefa and a group of officers boarded the warship and sailed into the distance.

The assessment officially begins!

……

"Hey! Why did you leave me here again?"

Standing at the port pier, An shouted heartbreakingly.

"Damn it, why do you want me to be special again!"

"I just want to graduate normally and go to the world to be a branch base director!"

"The sea listens to a girl's dreams."

Looking at the warship disappearing on the sea, An gritted his teeth.

"You can think of it all with your toes!"

Zefa didn't take him with him, he must have a special task left for him.

Special means "attention"!

"Hey! It's so hard for me!"

Like a salted fish, An sat slumped on the dock...

"Ah la la, girls should pay attention to their image," Kuzan reminded An.

I want you to take care of it! An vented her anger towards Kuzan who appeared at some unknown time.

"By the way, didn't you leave the headquarters? Why are you back again?" An asked angrily.

"I can't help it. I received an order to be responsible for the assessment of a person."

My heart skipped a beat.

An trembled and said, "This person can't be me!"

"Ah la la, you are so smart."

"Get up! It's time for us to set off."

Kuzan pointed to two bicycles parked in the corner of the pier.

"Good guys! Are you waiting for me here?"

The bike was delivered to me!

Seeing Kuzan's retreating back, An angrily followed him with a smile.

The sea water condensed, and An and Kuzan left the navy headquarters on their bicycles.
