Chapter 24: National Defense Warrior Assessment
Chapter 24: National Defense Warrior Assessment
Even the weapons of the Marines are muzzle-loading flintlock rifles. Haibara Ai doesn't know much about firearms, but she knows that muzzle-loading flintlock rifles can only be seen in museums now.
If the latest firearms could be sent over, it would surely enhance the naval strength of Borsalino's world.
At worst, she still has Dr. Agasa by her side. Although Dr. Agasa is not very reliable in normal times, the things he invents are very magical.
At worst, she could ask Professor Agasa to help invent props that can be used in combat. Anyway, the navy that Borsalino belongs to is also on the side of justice, so Haibara Ai is not worried that she will help the evil.
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: It's really hard to compare a world that is close to being free of magic. You can roughly understand that a lieutenant colonel from the Marine Headquarters can beat ten Gins, and if both sides are unarmed, he can beat a hundred. Well, this is a conservative estimate... And don't call me a police dog anymore! ]
[Grayhara Ai: ...It's alright then. Sorry for disturbing you.]
[Xiao Lin: Well, I asked Thor, but she didn’t have a good solution either.]
[Jotaro Kujo: If Mr. Borsalino really has no other options, I can ask my grandfather for the training method of wave ripple qigong, but I may not be able to master it.]
【Zhang Sanfeng: More haste, less speed. 】
[A passerby who wants to curry favor with Luo Feng: Master Kizaru, why not ask Master Orochimaru? Maybe he can find a way. ]
[Borsalino: @Orochimaru, do you have any quick moves or skills? They should not have too many side effects! ]
[Orochimaru: Haha, I've been studying devil fruits lately and don't have much free time. I have a simplified copy of the Thunder Release Ninjutsu. As long as you have good aptitude, you should be able to learn it.]
[Orochimaru: Although the actual combat effect is not very good, as long as you can master the changes in the nature of lightning attribute chakra, you should not be much weaker than the average special jonin...]
[Borusalino: Sounds good, I'll take it. Or should I trade it for a devil fruit? ]
[Orochimaru: Oh, not for now. I haven't studied the two devil fruits from last time thoroughly. ]
[Orochimaru: The original intention of developing this set of ninjutsu based on Kumogakure was to target the Iwagakure ninjas, but the war ended before the development was completed. It is useless to keep this semi-finished product in my hands. If you want it, just give it to me. ]
[Borsalino: I understand. I will trade you the Navy Six Styles. I will send you the information of the Six Styles later. You can choose two.]
The Six Styles of the Navy may look simple, but they are classics honed by countless navies. Using two of them to exchange for a set of semi-finished ninjutsu does not count as taking advantage of Orochimaru.
Not long after, Orochimaru brought over the scroll containing the remaining parts of the Ninja Taijutsu.
Although Borsalino had never actually seen the Lightning Release Ninjutsu of the Hidden Cloud Village, after seeing the records on the scroll, he could still tell at a glance that there was some copycat... ahem, borrowed elements in it.
The Lightning Release Ninjutsu developed by Orochimaru abandoned the effect of using Lightning Release to stimulate the body and activate it.
I don’t know if it’s because of limited capabilities or if such a function was not needed in the original development.
However, Borsalino was more inclined to the latter. After all, Orochimaru's talent was unquestionable, and after giving up the ability to activate his body, Orochimaru's version of the Lightning Release Ninjutsu greatly enhanced the effect of the Lightning Release.
Simply put, it is an ability similar to that of the Minks. In close combat, each person has 100,000 volts. Any small fry weaker than the user will be killed, and the user can gain a great advantage when encountering a similar opponent.
Unfortunately, in front of a truly strong person, this set of ninjutsu is not of much use.
Not to mention a top-level warrior like Borsalino, even Hancock could ignore this level of lightning escape. "It's okay, let's just make do with it for now..."
Borsalino curled his lips, stuffed the scroll into the pocket of his beach pants, and followed Hancock to the training ground for the national defenders.
The female warriors from Nine Snake Island who are taking part in the assessment are all ready. The assessment method to become a national defender is simple and rough. You will pass if you defeat a genuine national defender in a one-on-one situation.
Moreover, any national defender who is defeated by the assessment object more than three times will lose his qualification as a national defender. If he wants to become a national defender again, he must take the assessment again.
Before this, Borsalino had often complained that this assessment method was unreasonable, and it was almost impossible for the female warriors from Nine Snake Island who were not good at frontal combat to pass the assessment.
But the women on Nine Snake Island are all stubborn and believe that the real strong ones have to fight head-on.
However, this assessment method is not without any advantages. At least the national defenders selected through this assessment method are, without exception, the elites among the elites.
Becoming a national defender is just the beginning. If you cannot continue to become stronger, you will sooner or later be eliminated by the endless stream of newcomers.
Such cruel customs and systems may be the real reason why all the female warriors on Nine Snake Island possess the power of Armament Haki.
"The assessment begins!"
The person in charge of this assessment is the national warrior Kikyo. This female warrior who looks wild has mastered two colors of domineering at the same time. Even in the Nine Snakes Pirate Group, she can be ranked among the top five strong.
Following Kikyo's order, more than twenty female warriors from Nine Snake Island who were taking the test charged forward without hesitation. They had to go all out if they wanted to defeat the national warriors who were theoretically stronger than them.
Even though all the female warriors on Nine Snake Island have mastered Armament Haki, many of them still died during the assessment of the national defenders.
"Dear, how many people do you think will pass the test this time?"
Noticing that Borsalino seemed a little distracted, Hancock took the initiative to get into his arms, not caring that there were many female warriors from Nine Snake Island around, and wanted to be intimate with Borsalino.
"Hmm? Wanna make a bet? Three... four, maybe?"
Borsalino took a look at the field. The female warriors of Nine Snake Island were extremely strong. They only had a set of protective gear that had almost no practical significance. They just waved their swords and fought with their opponents.
Even the weakest female warrior among them can become a tough character who can make a name for herself in the Four Seas or even the first half of the Grand Line.
There was even a female giant among them, who was chasing and slashing at the national defenders as she wielded a sword that was at least seven or eight meters long.
The giants are all born warriors. Once they reach adulthood, they have the strength of a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Headquarters. With a little training, they can reach the level of a colonel or even a brigadier general in the Marine Headquarters.
Although the female giant still looks like a teenager, she has grown up on Nine Snake Island and is already a veteran warrior.
The national defender who was her opponent was not weak in strength, but under the absolute suppression of power, no matter how excellent his sword skills were, he could not display them.
