Chapter 10: Combat trail
"In this island … Is there pirates ?"
The young lady sneered "Fight pirates ? your too tender Pirates are extremely cruel . This place is more suitable for this examination."
"Your mission to kill robots . There is no limit to weapon except for heavy weapons. So firearms are ok ".
"Hunting each robot will give you some points. There 4 types of robot
Red robot:- easiest one to kill, they are slow and low grade defence.
Green robot:- They possess strength, speed similar to top recruit of your elite camp.
Blue robot:- They possess strength, speed exceeding top recruit of your elite camp.
Finally black robot:- They are nearly impossible to beaten by you recruits
Hunting Red robot will give you 1 points, green robot will you 5 points, blue robot will give you 10 points and black robot will give 50 points. You can hunt as a team but the point will be divided equally between all the members." Said the beautiful lady.
When she finished giving instructions, recruits become more serious and everyone quieted down .
In Tom's face there was some surprise "So the examination wasn't about fighting pirates, but it was fighting robot, for securing first position, I have to hunt blue and black robot mainly."
The beautiful lady was satisfied with that reaction and after some time continued " This island is full of surveillance equipment including the sky."
"These monitoring device will serve as a recording to every thing you hunt, also if someone faces a crisis, we will send someone for his rescue but he will be disqualified."
"But …" The beautiful lady said solemnly "This still guarantee the safety of everyone . If one of you were to encounter the strongest robot here, he/she will be crushed before help could get to him."
"This robot are developed to kill , not fight, so please be careful while fighting."
"The examination will continue for 5 days. I wish you good luck."
Ordinary marine courses didn't carry such practical assessment . But the recruits in the Marineford as the elite of the Marine have to go through this baptism . as they say : without going through blood and fire, elites won't be born.
Soon all recruits were on the island .
Most of them were carrying guns . The other carried swords or other type of weapon but one of them is without any weapon, i.e. Tom.
At this time Tom also got down .
Many people looked at him unintentionally. As Tom is best among them in strength trail. They were surprised as Tom also didn't have firearm, or any other weapon.
All of them wanted to remind him, but they remain silent as they are fearful of Tom.
"Hey did you come only to die?"
Tina also looked at this scene
She couldn't stay still so she reminded him " I suggest that you bring a gun with you . This examination will be very dangerous"
"Sorry , but i really can't use guns" Tom looked at Tina and shrugged his shoulders.
"You !!"
Although Tom was telling the truth, but when Tina heard it she thought that he is fooling her . She didn't say anymore and just run into the forest .
He shook his head and also headed to the depth of the forest.
…
Inside the warships.
In a wide room that was full of projected images . The screens displayed all of the archipelago .
In this room all instructors were present and watching the display . they were recording scores for each of their group and preparing to rescue any of them if there was any danger.
As for Instructor Z the Former admiral he crossed his arms while scanning the monitoring screen as for Garp he was eating his rice crackers by Z side .
"That's your adopted son Tom ?" Z asked Garp while pointing at one of the screens.
"Yes."
Garp gave a vague response seemingly uninterested . In fact he should be the most one concerned here .
"I heard he was last ranked among all the recruits at start and now his strength exceed all of his peers."
"yep, he is giving all of his focus on strength, just like me." Garp replied.
