In the scorching summer, the hot sun hung in the sky, scorching the earth.
The Marine Headquarters under the scorching sun is still lively as always. But today is different from the past, there is no hustle and bustle of training, and there are people with shock and admiration in their eyes.
On the square, the Marine Soldiers stood in a neat formation, casting admiring and envious glances at the tall figures on the high platform who were receiving the medal ceremony.
The results of the survival training have come out. Today is the ceremony for Rowen and others to officially become Marine Officers. After a soldier got his Justice cloak and stepped down excitedly during the same period, one final person walked forward.
Rowen walked up to Sengoku!
“That’s Mr. Rowen, right? Tsk tsk, I am more jealous of him than anything and I am sure many people feel the same way I do!”
“Jealous? Rowen is the real Monster!!”
“What? Rowen? Is he that Senior Rowen?!”
In the Recruit Camp Queue, several new recruits spoke and their eyes lit up when they heard the words and curiously asked the veterans standing next to them.
The Headquarters Recruit Camp is not like the Headquarters Military Academy. There is no rule that you must stay until you are fifteen years old to graduate from the Headquarters Recruit Camp.
As long as you have the strength, strong people like Rowen can participate in the survival training after being trained for more than half a year in the Recruit Camp, and then they can leave the camp.
Therefore, the Recruitment frequency of Headquarters Recruit Camp is very fast, and when Rowen has unknowingly come to this world for a year, another batch of Recruits has been selected into the Headquarters Recruit Camp.
“Yeah, he is Rowen… No, he should be called Rear Admiral Rowen from now on!”
The veteran said with some emotion in his voice.
A Monster who created the fastest qualified Log in the Recruit Battalion!
A genius who has repeatedly achieved miraculous results since he was a recruit!!
He may not be the strongest, but he is definitely the most special!
Since these Recruits joined the Headquarters Recruit Camp, they have heard the legend about Rowen the most.
The powerful Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability User, the former close disciple of Marine Admiral “Black Arm” Zephyr.
Rowen was a Rookie who was considered to be in the same league as the Three Admirals who had also left their legend and Rowen had surpassed them.
It only took Rowen two months from almost failing when he first joined the Headquarters Recruit Camp, and then to the year-end evaluation where he exploded out with amazing power.
Now a little more than half a year from the time of the Competition, Rowen has successfully walked out of the Recruit Camp with the rank of a Rear Admiral!
It can be said that in the next ten years, every Recruit of the Recruit Camp will listen to Rowen’s legend and sweat like rain, and look forward to meeting with this living legend one day.
And what makes them feel even more excited is that Rowen saved the world!
The crisis of the Hell Island Crab has been completely resolved, and even the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) sent people to Rowen to express their appreciation!
If Rowen hadn’t grown up and if he hadn’t joined the Marines halfway through the Recruit Camp then they would even have the idea of pulling Rowen into the CP Organization.
As long Rowen had stayed in the CP Organization for a period of time and accumulated some qualifications and contacts, then Rowen would have become a member of the Senior Official and he would have taken a set of power in the World Government!
He would have become a true Minister!
Strength, Power, Wealth, and Fame, Rowen now has everything except wealth and he is a well-deserved idol of the new Recruits!
“Sure enough… he is quite unique! He is the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability User, he is really scary and looks really tough…”
Kizaru sat in his seat and looked at the calm figure standing behind Sengoku who was giving a speech and said slowly.
The words were still spoken in the usual careless tone, but Akainu and Aokiji could hear that the Kizaru at this time was not ridiculing Rowen in his tone.
Rowen is the real Monster!
Even the three of them could not deny this.
After all, think back, what did they do in the Recruit Camp for a year and a half that they have stayed?
The only achievement that stands out is that in May and June, at the beginning of the practical training, they have eliminated a few flaunting pirate regiments by themselves.
However, if Rowen did not choose to leave the camp and continue to stay in the recruit camp for further studies, wouldn’t he be able to do the same?
That’s naturally impossible!
It’s not that he can’t do it, but he doesn’t have time to do it.
Rowen’s growth rate is so fast that Zephyr is feeling helpless and he is unable to teach him anymore. He can only continue to teach if he leaves the camp early to accumulate Military Merit.
With such a terrifying growth rate, no one knows where Rowen’s upper limit is. Everything that Rowen had achieved, he had achieved in half a year, then what about a year? How about two years? How about ten years? How much would he achieve in that time!
At this moment, even if they are the world’s Top-Level powerhouses, there is inevitably a trace of urgency in their hearts. They have been called “Marine Strongest Combat Power” for too long.
So long a the wind blows and the sea continues to exist, all the soldiers would continue to treat them as the Strongest Combat Power of the Marines, and naturally, they have developed an arrogance.
But the appearance of Rowen today made them understand that there was someone who could now shake their position.
He is more talented than them, he is more persevering than them, if they do not move forward, it is only a matter of time before they are overtaken.
They have not felt the urgency to increase their power in so long but now they feel it s someone was chasing them. Unconsciously, the mentality of the three Admiral has changed a little at this moment.
“Maybe, in another seven or eight years, one of us will have to give way to him ……”
Kizaru pursed his lips and his tone returned to its former wretchedness.
“Don’t you think so too, Admiral Akainu?”
“Humph! If he can beat me then why would I mind giving up my Admiral position to him?!”
Akainu snorted coldly and then took over the conversation. Akainu of the War Faction wants to turn the Marines into a complete disciplinary machine, sweeping the New World with iron and blood and ruling it with an Iron Fist.
His goal has always been becoming the Marine Fleet Admiral, and the prerequisite for becoming the Fleet Admiral is that one must be an Admiral. There are no exceptions to this rule.
For someone like Akainu to say this, it can be seen that Rowen has left an extremely deep impression in his heart.
After all, Rowen was brought into the Marines by Garp, and his thoughts were more in line with the usual careless style of Garp’s Faction, and he is certainly not compatible with the iron-blooded soldiers like himself.
Akainu can see it very clearly. If Rowen really gets to that point and becomes an Admiral, then even if he becomes the Fleet Admiral, he will have his own enemies to deal with.
Aokiji, who has always been at odds with him, plus Kizaru, an indifferent neutral party, and it has nothing to do with himself. With the hanging “Garp Faction” Rowen, the Marines would still have trouble getting rid of their current weakness.
At that time, he might as well take the initiative to abdicate the seat!
But he won’t give up, because the problems he may face after becoming Fleet Admiral are the same as Aokiji, they would be in the same position no matter who becomes the Fleet Admiral.
Thinking of this, Akainu sneered and said, “Everything would be easy if I became the Fleet Admiral before then.”
Aokiji glanced at him with a deep expression on his face and said lightly: “Don’t be so excited, Admiral Akainu. Fleet Admiral is not old enough to abdicate his position and let you become the Fleet Admiral!”
Suddenly, the three of them felt a rush of Killing Intent at the same time, and the corners of Akainu’s mouth twitched twice before shutting up. Kizaru started trimming his nails carelessly, while Aokiji pulled down his blindfold and closed his eyes.
These three assholes!!!
Sengoku, who was observing them with Observation Haki was the source of the Killing Intent. I am praising the New Recruits for their efforts and you are discussing the next Fleet Admiral so blatantly?
Are you drunk or are you carrying a knife to kill me soon?!
But now is not the time to care about this and Sengoku withdrew his gaze and coughed twice.
“Ahem…Congratulations, Rowen!”
