One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

In the following days, Long, who had the halo of "Garp's son" and "natural type", seemed to have become a transparent person in the school.

During the day, he trained alone. At night, he returned to the dormitory, listened to Aokiji and Aramaki's daily bickering, and silently turned his head to the wall.

Zefa and Zigg are the only ones in the school who pay attention to him.

Zefa's concern is obvious. After all, he is the son of his old friend Garp, and he is indeed very talented. It is unreasonable for him to just leave Long alone.

Jiger was observing Long's behavior, waiting for the opportunity to take action.

However, Long has been well behaved since that day. He trains very seriously every day and focuses on improving his strength.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed and Jiger's school life has come to an end.

The top naval officers have always attached great importance to their class of students, especially the arrangements for Giger and others.

But before that, they have to arrange a graduation exam for Jiger and others.

The top leaders all want to see how strong the "monsters" of this class have become.

The content of the exam is also very simple. It is divided into two parts: written test and practical test. Of course, the written test is just a formality. It only accounts for a very small part of the score. As long as the theoretical knowledge is not too poor, it will basically not have much impact on the final score.

Actual combat is the highlight of this exam, which is conducted in the form of a competition. The graduating students will be divided into groups and draw lots to determine their opponents.

The final results will also determine your position after graduation, and the highest rank you can be awarded is major general!

This kind of simple and crude reward is really tempting to most students, but when they think of their classmates like Jiger, they immediately lose interest.

Especially Jiger, over the past year or so, no one knows to what extent his strength has grown.

In their eyes, Kizaru, Akainu and Kuma alone are invincible, but in daily training, it takes at least two people to barely fight against Ziger.

Obviously, they were all students from the same class, but after three years, the gap not only did not narrow, but became larger and larger, like a natural chasm in front of them.

So when this notice came out, everyone in the school was in a panic. They all had the same idea, that is,

"What if I draw one of Jig and the others?!"

It cannot be blamed on them for being afraid of fighting. After all, the gap in strength is too big. They cannot win by just showing off their strength and shouting slogans.

However, their worries immediately dissipated after Zefa announced something.

Zephyr said that during the graduation exam, Zig, Kizaru and Akainu will not appear on the lottery list, as the headquarters has other arrangements for their exams.

Although there are still four bears left among the Navy Supernovas, this is good news for everyone.

Compared to the three nature-oriented big guys, the bear usually looks quiet and honest, which gives people like Flying Squirrel and Huoshaoshan the illusion that they are not completely hopeless even if they really go up against the bear.

As for the remaining Lucia and the other two, their abilities seemed to be within the comprehension range of most people, not to mention that they were all beautiful women. Many male students even felt that it would not be a bad thing to meet them, at least it would be a feast for the eyes, right?

The graduation exam was thus settled, and in the remaining few days, all the students who were going to take the exam were training very hard.

This scene was very familiar to Jiger. He remembered that when he was in college at Blue Star, he and his roommates would review like this frantically a few days before each final exam.

And there is a tradition in their dormitory, that is, they will worship Jige the day before the final exam, because the homonym of his name is "pass", and that's how college exams are, not asking for high scores but for passing!

But now Jige is a real "academic master", and he is the kind that consistently ranks first, so he is not nervous at all. He still practices step by step every day and eats and drinks as usual.

On the day of the exam, under the leadership of Zefa, all the students of the Naval Academy went to the examination venue set up by the headquarters.

When Jiger arrived, he found out that this so-called examination venue was actually the huge open space during the Battle of Marineford in the anime.

On the high platform where the three admirals originally sat, Marshal Sora was sitting in the most central position, and Garp, Tsuru and other high-ranking naval officials were also present.

After Zefa explained the exam rules again, a soldier came over and saluted Zefa, saying,

"General Zefa, please go to the spectator seats!"

Zephyr nodded, and after the soldiers left, he said to Jiger, Akainu, and Kizaru,

"You three are already major generals. While the other students are taking their exams, you will come with me up there to watch."

As soon as these words were spoken, the students were suddenly in an uproar, but when they thought about it, it made sense that the officers who could go to the spectator seats today were indeed major generals and above.

After all, the situations of Jige and the other two were indeed too special. They had already been major generals when they were students. Others, who had been living with them day and night, tended to overlook their identities.

Only when this moment came did others deeply feel the gap between strength and status.

Under the complicated gazes of the crowd, Zig and the other two followed Zefa to the viewing seats on the podium.

The chairs placed here are the same as the ones the three admirals sat on during the Battle of Marineford, and the seats for Jiger and the other two are also deliberately separated, probably because they are also "candidates."

Akainu and Kizaru sat on either side, and both tacitly agreed to leave the middle seat for Jiger.

Jiger smiled slightly and sat down between the two of them. The postures of the three of them after sitting down were surprisingly consistent, all of them crossed their legs in a difficult position, with one calf resting horizontally on the knee of the other leg.

The three of them just sat there, and the students from the same class and their younger classmates below all felt inexplicably relieved when they saw them.

The high-level people around were also observing the three people. He leaned slightly towards Zhan Guo and said,

"Zhan Guo, who do you think will become a general first among the three of them?"

Zhan Guo was stunned for a moment, and said with a bit of a smile,

"He, why do you say that as if it's already been decided?"

He shook his head and said seriously,

"It's just a matter of time."

"Uh, okay, then I think it's Jig?"

"Me too."

After saying this, He cast his gaze towards Jiger again. Jiger also raised his head and looked at Heger. At this moment, the referee came to the center of the field and announced through the loudspeaker Den Den Mushi,

"The exam begins!"
