One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 90 Training Camp Assessment

The hot sun is scorching the earth, heat waves visible to the naked eye are rolling in the air, and the stone ground is as breathless as a steamer on a stove.

At the training camp grounds, raindrops of sweat fell from the students' foreheads, passing through their cheeks and necks, until they soaked through their entire shirts.

Even though their bodies are as heavy as iron and even breathing is difficult, the students on the school field still maintain high-intensity training.

"Ain, you have to try to integrate your 'Regression Fruit' ability into your swordsmanship. I believe that after you do this, your strength will be greatly improved."

On the school field, An used an ice blade to push away Ain's sword and pointed out Ain's shortcomings.

"I know Instructor An," the serious Ain took out a small notebook and wrote down An's suggestions.

"That's it for today. The assessment will begin tomorrow. You should go back and have a good night's rest."

"Thank you, instructor, for your concern, but I want to practice for a while longer," a tired Ain rejected An's proposal.

"Then you should pay attention to the time," he said goodbye to Ain, and An left first.

……

Early the next morning, driven by golden waves, the training camp warship sailed out of the port.

Windless Belt, the island of naval trials.

"Grandpa Zefa, when will we start the assessment?" On the warship, An looked at Zefa.

"An, don't worry, what we need hasn't arrived yet."

Before Zefa finished speaking, on the distant sea, a ship like a sea fortress broke into the calm sea.

In comparison, the warship An is now riding on seems a little thin.

After Zefa's reminder, An realized that the big ship in front of him was a prison ship specially used to escort criminals.

After a moment, the two ships came close to each other, and a man who looked like a demon walked down, holding a black trident in his hand and a pair of small wings on his back.

"Teacher Zefa, long time no see."

Zefa nodded, raised his eyes, and said dissatisfied: "Hannibal, I haven't seen you for so many years, but your strength is still the same."

Embarrassment appeared on Hannibal's face, and he explained in a low voice, "Teacher Zefa, my strength has actually improved a bit."

As he spoke, Hannibal made a small gesture.

"Besides, Teacher Zefa, you know that I have no pursuit of strength. I just want to be the warden of Impelton."

"Okay, I'm not interested in your nonsense. Have you brought me the pirate I want?"

Shrugging, Hannibal didn't care about his teacher's attitude, he always had.

"We brought a total of 100 pirates, including 90 pirates with a bounty of more than 1 million, 8 with a bounty of 2 million, and 2 with a bounty of million," Hannibal introduced as the jailer brought the pirates to the island. .

"Teacher Zefa, if there is nothing else, I will leave. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the underwater prison."

"Okay, get lost," Zefa waved his hand for Hannibal to get lost.

When Hannibal returned to the prison ship, Zefa's warning voice came from afar, "Even if you just want to be the warden of the underwater prison, you also need to have the strength to suppress pirate riots."

Looking at Zefa's back, Hannibal thought to himself, Teacher Zefa, you are still as cold-faced and warm-hearted as before.

……

On the island, Zefa asked An to open the pirate's handcuffs, and then a terrifying aura enveloped the pirate.

Facing Zefa's oppressive momentum, these pirates with a bounty of no more than 2 million prostrate themselves on the ground.

"Listen pirates, you were supposed to stay in prison forever until you die, but today I will give you a chance to live."

"Seeing that there is no navy behind me, only one of you two can survive, so kill them with all your strength. This is the only way for you to survive."

"Now, you can get out!"

"Finding that the feeling of oppression was gone, the pirate licked his lips, looked at the students, and quickly got into the jungle."

Turning around, Zefa said to the students in the training camp: "The content of your assessment is killing. Use all methods to kill the pirates who just escaped. I will evaluate you based on the pirate heads you bring back."

"After you complete your mission, you can fire the flare on your right arm, and Instructor An will come to pick you up."

"Now I announce the start of the naval training camp assessment!"

As Zefa's words fell to the ground, rustling could be heard in the dense forest.

……

Watching Zefa's warship go away, An Ye unfolded his vision to cover the entire island and pay attention to the situation on the island.

As soon as they entered the jungle, some students were ambushed by pirates and a fierce battle began.

Although the pirates were weaker than the students in the training camp, with their skilled combat experience and the complex jungle, the pirates fought and retreated. For a while, the students had no good solution.

……

The moon's retraction scattered the clear light on the sea, and the sun reappeared in the sky.

After a day of fighting, the pirates who were released from prison gradually began to lose due to lack of physical strength.

Some students endured the discomfort, cut off the pirate's head, and then fired a signal flare into the sky to end the assessment.

The central area of ​​the island.

The young kobold Uriah ducked sideways to avoid the dangerous palm, then picked up the fallen tree and threw it at Ain.

Facing the huge tree flying towards him, Ain's expression remained unchanged, he activated his fruit ability and slapped the big tree with his palms several times in a row.

No matter how many times he watched it, Uriah still felt horrified.

I saw the huge trees gradually shrinking to the size of a spear under Ain's palm.

The wrist exerted force, and the spear went away with the sound of breaking the wind.

Uriah's face looked extremely ugly after his cheek was cut by the spear.

As a pirate with a bounty of 2 million and a user of animal devil fruit abilities, Uriah has no strength but can do nothing to help Ain.

Even though he looks 17 or 8 years old now, he is actually over 40 years old. This is all caused by being hit by this marine.

Once again avoiding Ain's attack, Uriah tried to find a way to break the situation.

"shave!"

Ain disappeared from Uriah's eyes again.

Faced with Ain's disappearance, the ignorant Uriah could only brace himself and be vigilant.

Soon, relying on the instinct of a hunting dog, Uriah controlled his body and threw himself to the side. The pain on his waist that was scratched by the sword blade had no impact on him at all.

"Female Marine, there's no way you can capture me. Why don't we leave separately," Uriah suggested.

"Who says I can't defeat you? Just look at your body!"

Realizing that his body was slowly shrinking, Uriah asked in surprise: "When was it?"

Seeing Uriah's surprised expression, Ain lightly touched the sword with his fingers, and blue flames covered the sword.

"Thanks to you as a sparring partner, otherwise I don't know when I would be able to do this."

"Seeing that the situation was not going well, Uriah, who was getting older, gave up and looked in the right direction, and ran towards the forest with his limbs spread wide."

"Fingergun"

Air bullets were fired one after another, directly piercing Uriah's heart.

After releasing the fruit's power, Ain cuts off Uriah's head.

The flares flew into the sky and bloomed with beautiful colors.
