Chapter 49 Training Day 1

After hearing what Smoker said, Vic felt that it made sense. Not everyone was like him, who had trained his body like a monster in his teens, achieved some success in swordsmanship, and awakened his Observation Haki.

In the original work, Smoker was assigned out for several years but never awakened his Haki. Later, he went out to chase the Straw Hat Pirates. He awakened after going to the New World after the Battle of Marineford.

At that time, Smoker was considered a high-powered fourth-tier soldier in the navy, but he was already 36 years old. Above him were some veteran vice admirals, admirals, and a few gray-haired men, all of whom were not young anymore.

The youngest are Taotu and Chatun. They are definitely older than Smoker. Although they are both very talented, they are younger than the veteran lieutenant admirals, but stronger than them.

Aokiji is very talented. He became an admiral when he was less than 46 years old, which makes him younger than most veteran vice admirals. Therefore, those who can be domineering in the navy are not young. For example, Coby was trained by being beaten to death by Garp. There are very few people who can be domineering at a young age.

Like in the original work, when defending the Toriko in Tokushima, he was really domineering as a navy officer. It was a bit exaggerated. After all, those were the people on Fujitora's warship, so he still had to have the status of an admiral!

Another reason is that only those who are domineering can step forward. Those who are not domineering should do something else. Going forward will only lead to death.

Therefore, the configuration on the admiral's ship is still very high. Perhaps the navy will arrange the most domineering ones on the ships of those senior admirals.

Or it is possible that people who are assigned to the general's ship are often exposed to domineering battles, so they are more likely to awaken domineering.

Anyway, those who resist the birdcage are not young anymore. For example, the students in the recruit training camp and the elite training camp are not very old, so it is not surprising that they cannot awaken their domineering power. Domineering power requires tempering and the baptism of battle.

Vic felt that he didn't need to go to the elite camp and could graduate now. Of course, he had to learn how to awaken Armament Haki first.

But the Navy probably won't agree to let you take up the post directly? They haven't examined you yet. How is your loyalty? They won't sell the warships, will they? You must be educated before you can take up the post.

But it is enough to know that the instructor is Zefa. Now Zefa has not lost his arm, so he is more than capable of teaching me. Just for Zefa's sake, I have to go to the elite camp. The Armament Haki is in his hands, so I can go to Zefa to learn in advance.

Just when Vic and his friends were eating and drinking here, a subordinate came into Andrew's office. Andrew was a little curious about what he wanted to talk to him about so late at night.

"Colonel, I have something to report to you."

"Hmm? Just tell me if you have something to say."

"It's the student dormitory area. Tonight, many students there complained that the newcomer, Vic, cooked in the dormitory and it smelled so good, but he didn't let them eat it, which seriously affected their rest."

"I checked and found that this is a violation of the regulations of the recruit area. Colonel, how do you think we should deal with this?"

"Well, after all, he's new here and doesn't know many rules. I'll educate him tomorrow and then give him a slight punishment in front of the other recruits." Andrew thought for a moment, then replied.

"Okay, Colonel, I'll go back first. You should get some rest early."

"Go."

......

Vic learned a lot of basic information about the recruit training area, and then drank and ate with the two of them. When the party ended, everyone was very satisfied, and the three of them had red faces.

Vic went straight to bed and Rebecca cleaned the table. Smoker and Tina walked away arm in arm, and Tina kept talking incoherently while drunk.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Vic was woken up by Rebecca. When the two arrived at the square, there were already many people there. Andre looked at the time on his pocket watch, then at the students who had gathered. When it was exactly five o'clock, he immediately blew the whistle.

"Everyone here, line up. Those who are late, stand aside first. You are not allowed to come back without instructions." Andre shouted loudly, and then asked the assistant coach to keep an eye on the latecomers.

After everyone arrived, Andrew began his lecture.

"Now everyone start running around the recruit area, twenty laps each. Those who are late will run five more laps. Vic was in the dormitory last night cooking, so he violated discipline and will have to run ten more laps. Now start running with the instructors. Remember the route for yourself, and the other instructors will keep track of who needs to run extra laps."

Andrew pointed to an assistant teacher.

"Ah? The recruit area. How big must it be? One circle must be ten kilometers."

"Isn't it too harsh to do this on the first day?"

"This is going to kill me, my God..."

"Quiet! Don't talk, follow the assistant, now, start running, run." Andrew roared.

At this time Vic walked out of the team and was almost in front of Andrew. He looked at him without saying anything, as if to say, "I won't run, and if they want to run, they can run."

The other trainees were very surprised. Are they going to rebel on the first day? He is a ruthless person. Andrew's face changed. He was slapped in the face the first time he gave an order. How can he manage the recruit camp in the future?

"Vic! What do you want to do? If you don't want to be a navy officer, get out of here. No one will tolerate you here." Andrew was angry and no longer cared about Vice Admiral Garp's face.

Vic didn't say anything. He continued to walk in front of Andrew. Andrew's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously took a step back. He was a little scared. Although he was a colonel, he was more of a civilian and his strength was not that good. He was afraid of being beaten.

"Coach Andrew, the thing is, the running you mentioned has no effect on me. Why don't you find some heavier weights for me and I'll run with them. It would be better to prepare an extra person."

Vic said calmly, seemingly unfazed by Andre's anger.

Andrew was a little confused. It was rare to see someone like this, seeking extra practice, but he still waved to the assistant coach next to him.

"Go to the equipment room and get two sets of weights for the elite camp training." Andrew ordered, then looked at Vic.

"Instructor Andrew, will we be punished by running if we cook in the dormitory area from now on?" Vic said with a smile.

Andrew thought, "You've already thought of the punishment for the future. I'm going to do it every day. How can I promise you that? You're kidding me!"

In the end, Andrew agreed. As for the reason, Vic stepped on the stone floor and made a big hole.

Vic said with a smile that he wanted to ask the instructor for advice on physical training and wanted to have a friendly exchange with him, and then Andrew agreed to the punishment running. Well, he originally wanted to agree to it in his heart, and it was definitely not for any other reason.

When the assistant coach brought the weights, Vic tried them but they didn't work because they were too light. Running like this wouldn't have any exercise effect.

"Too light, too light. Is there anything heavier? I want something heavy." Vic threw away the 500-kg weight. Just kidding, he was running wildly in Frost Moon Village while carrying a small rock mountain weighing more than ten tons on his back.

Andre's mouth twitched a little, and he quickly told the assistant to change to a heavier one.

Three assistant coaches carried one over, and Vic tried, but it still didn't work.

"It's too light, too light, is there anything heavier?"

"Is this still light? This is for the top students in the elite camp?"

Vic didn't say anything, but raised one finger, which made the students around him amazed!

Andrew nodded helplessly to the assistant, and the assistant went again, this time with six people carrying it over. Vic tried it and took it off, then threw it to the ground, cracking the thick stone slab.

"It's too light, too light. Is there any more? Go get some more!"

"This is what Vice Admiral Kizaru once used. Do you think it's too light?"

Vic nodded. They were speechless. The students were shocked when they saw the cracks on the ground. This is not enough. Carry me on your back and I can die in front of you!

"It's lighter!"

"This is Lieutenant General Kuzan..."

"I said it lightly!"

……

"It's too light! Who used this?"

"Lieutenant General Sakaski!"

"Well, go change it."

Hearing the names one by one, the students beside him were all numb. These were the legends of the navy. The weights they used could have made a hole in the stone slab. You still think it's too light? Can you be a human being?

"Well, this one is still acceptable, who does this belong to?"

"This belonged to the former Admiral Zefa. Now it's finally available!"

Now there are twelve people lifting the heavy loads!

"It's still a little light. Go change it. Don't waste time. Everyone is waiting!"

"It's you who's wasting time, okay? Hello?"

Andrew complained inwardly.

"Yes, this is just enough for now. You should prepare something heavier. It will be needed in the future. Who has used this?"

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

Andrew didn't take Vic's words seriously. Who do you think used this weight? This was used by a naval hero. Don't even think about changing it after you graduate!

The other colleges have been frightened by Vic. This is just the beginning of the weight used by the navy hero. What will happen in the future?

Vic ignored the others and tried the weight. It was made of special materials and had a very high density. Vic was satisfied with it. He did some stretching exercises and started running. "Rebecca, let's take the 500 kg weight." Vic disappeared after he finished speaking, still at a very fast speed.

The trainees then picked up their fallen chins and started running, but their faces were gloomy, as if they were not worthy of coming to the special training at the Marine Headquarters!

Andre broke out in cold sweat. It was a good thing that he didn't agree to the sparring match, otherwise he would have been really beaten. Where did Vice Admiral Garp find this monster?

They are not relatives, this is too abnormal, you have to carry such heavy weights for training, can't you just let Vice Admiral Garp train you? Why bother to embarrass a weak man like me?

Vic ignored the shocked people behind him and ran forward with light steps. In this polarized atmosphere, the first day of running exercises began. Soon, Rebecca followed him with a set of weights on her back.

Although Vic only had 30 laps, he was the first to finish. The weight did not affect his speed. Many students did not even finish and fainted on the side of the road. Only a few people finished the race. These all need to be recorded as a basis for future allocations.
