บท 8: Chapter 8 Assessment Rules and Location

After the warship left the port of Naval Headquarters, there were no dangers along the way. Occasionally, a few unsightly Sea Kings were easily dismissed by the Marine Rear Admiral stationed on the warship.

Soon, they came to the harbor of a large island.

This is an assessment island affiliated with Naval Headquarters, where practical assessments are conducted almost every year.

At a glance, I saw a huge high wall up to ten feet erected around the island, enclosing the entire island into an iron plate, and patrolling Marine from time to time on the high wall, like a huge prison.

But it's not wrong to say it's a prison, because it's filled with pirates who were temporarily recruited from Impel down, and used exclusively for recruit training.

Therefore, although the island in front of me looks very peaceful, many Marine recruits die in it every year.

But this is also the fate of the Marine recruits in this department. As the elites of the future Marines, this cruel battlefield must be experienced.

Many recruits glanced at the island that looked like a man-eating beast, and swallowed subconsciously.

"Is this the location of our assessment?"

"It should be right. It is said that it is full of vicious pirates."

As soon as these words came out, there was a look of unease in everyone's eyes.

After all the warships were docked, Zephyr began to order the major warships to prepare for the assessment.

Officer Rear Admiral of Karen's warship also stood at the forefront and shouted to everyone:

"Next, there is an assessment trial. I will tell you the rules first."

"The assessment time is three days. Your mission is to hunt and kill the pirates on the island and get points. The pirates inside are strong and weak, and they are all given corresponding points."

Having said that, Marine Rear Admiral's tone paused slightly. After glancing at all the recruits, he found that although everyone's faces were disturbed, they were not afraid. After that, he nodded lightly and continued:

"This time the assessment is an individual battle, but it is not forbidden to form a team. After forming a team, the points obtained will be divided equally."

"In addition, there are hidden surveillance phone bugs all over the island, so you don't have to worry about missing points after hunting pirates."

"And after that, we will send signal flares for you. Once you can't bear this assessment, you can use it, and we will send personnel to rescue."

"but,,,."

At this time, Officer Rear Admiral's expression was very serious, and he said sternly:

"Once you choose to do this, your test scores this time will be completely reset to zero."

"Finally, let me tell you good news. The top 80 recruits in this assessment will be eligible to participate in the selection of the elite training camp."

"May you all come back alive."

After finishing speaking, the Marine Rear Admiral began to instruct other soldiers on the warship to distribute dry food for the three days to all recruits, as well as Marine's standard equipment.

Soon, everyone received the equipment and supplies and began to board the island.

Naturally, Karen was in a team with Ain, but when Karen stepped down from the warship, it still attracted everyone's attention.

Because compared to other Marine recruits with a musket behind him and a Marine-style longsword hanging from his waist, Karen's entire body is completely empty, which is really too eye-catching.

The eyes of many recruits looking at Karen are full of weirdness, and many even look at him with deadly eyes.

The island is full of vicious pirates, so going to the island with bare hands is no different from courting death.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Ain, who was walking beside Karen, said with some unease:

"Karen, or let's go back, at least get you a musket."

"Don't worry, I don't need a musket anymore."

Karen smiled softly at Ain.

In the world of pirates, although it is not impossible to use guns to become a strong man, Karen, who has more choices, does not have to take this rugged path.

"this,,!"

Although it is known that Karen is already very strong, and maybe he really can't use a gun, Ain still cares about it.

"Do not worry."

Karen touched Ain's head, and after repeated assurances, Ain reluctantly felt relieved, and followed Karen into the temporarily opened gate of the island.

...

Above the warship, in the widest room.

Zephyr sat down on the chair at the conference table, put down the recruit materials he had already read, and said to the figure on the sofa who was eating senbei:

"You're really free, Garp."

Zephyr didn't know until after the warship was launched, that this old guy entered the warship long before everyone else.

"Haha, it's alright."

After Garp swallowed the senbei in his mouth, he laughed and said:

"But the reason why I came is because there is a very interesting kid inside. The old man taught him personally for half a month. Of course, we have to see the results."

"Oh, there is actually a seedling that you fancy, but half a month is too short."

Zephyr shook his head after being slightly surprised.

"Let's wait and see."

Garp grabbed another senbei and said while biting the senbei.

Zephyr couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and stopped discussing the topic, but greeted Garp and walked to the deck, which was now full of surveillance screens. *
