One Piece: The Defender of Justice

Marineford recruit camp.

The deep night sky was dotted with a few stars, and the cool breeze gently caressed Atlas's strong body. At this time, he was doing extra exercises after meals on the school field. But thinking about this morning's training camp, he felt a headache.

In order to finish the physical training early in the morning, it can be said that he used his speed to the ultimate without reservation, completing the task in only one-third of the time of others.

But the Zephyr Instructor on the side didn't seem to want him to be so relaxed. So he performed additional weight-bearing exercises, which made him very tired.

Zephyr accurately adjusted Atlas's weight to his current physical limit, giving Atlas a headache and a little excitement at the same time. He believed that as long as he came out of the training camp, his strength would definitely increase.

"Huh~"

After completing the last training event, Atlas turned around and planned to go back to the dormitory to take a shower to wash away the fatigue of the day.

Little did they know, in a brightly lit building in the distance, Zephyr stood quietly in front of the window, silently watching Atlas's leaving figure. Zephyr had been standing there for several hours, watching Atlas, who didn't notice it at all.

"What a hard-working kid..."

Atlas dragged his tired body into the dormitory and found the other three people nestled neatly in the dormitory.

"Boss, you are finally here. I have already prepared the hot water for you. Come on, take a refreshing hot bath."

Grus looked proud of himself.

"Have you filled the hot water for me? It's just what I wanted. Thank you, Grus." Atlas was already used to Grus' behavior and naturally accepted the kindness.

"It's nothing. If you are willing, boss, I can help you fetch water every day."

Grus said with some joy, as if he was too excited to be recognized by Atlas, which made Smoker and Rosinante shiver.

This guy… Do you have any special hobbies?

"Well, I'll trouble you from now on, Grus."

Atlas didn't care and said with a smile.

"From now on, I will rely on you, boss, to protect me. I asked around and found that there are about 160 recruits in our current class. There were about thirty people who repeated the grade i, and according to the information I got, there are three monster newcomers in our class..." At this point, Grus looked at the others meaningfully, and then excitedly said.

"Then let's wait until you finish taking a shower, boss."

Grus is also a bit*h, and he insists on giving up at critical moments, which makes Smoker and Rosinante feel scratched and frustrated.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Come on!" Atlas urged, punching his big head casually.

"Hehehe, there are two of the three monster newcomers in our dormitory, and you, the boss, top the list." After speaking, Grus glanced at Smoker.

"Huh? Me? Did they make a mistake?" Smoker was so used to being beaten by Atlas that he almost lost his confidence. He didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to be tied with Atlas.

"But who is the other person?" Smoker was a little curious.

"You don't know this, right? The third person is a woman, and she seems to be a Devil Fruit Power, but I didn't find out the specific ability. But I know her name." Grus said with a lewd expression on his face. smile.

"Is your name Hina?" For some reason, Smoker suddenly thought of this name.

"Ah? How did you know?" Grus was obviously a little surprised. He had been asking for this information for a long time, but he didn't expect Smoker to know it before him.

"Well, didn't I tell you last time that I had a fight with a Paramecia Cage-Cage Fruit user? That person's name is Hina." Smoker was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect such a coincidence.

"But, I still think the boss is the strongest recruiter, and he is the real monster." Grus already knew from Smoker that Atlas could hold Smoker's Logia down purely by relying on his physical strength. The man rubbing against the ground!

"Uh-huh!!"

Smoker and Rosinante also agreed and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you brats, get some rest early. Tomorrow is the camp entrance test."

Atlas interrupted their gossip at the right time. If they continued chatting like this, it would take a long time to sleep.

Others in the dormitory have also become accustomed to Atlas's old-fashioned manner of speaking. After all, in the world of One Piece, strong men behave somewhat differently from ordinary people.

A night without words...

Recruit training camp campus.

Before dawn, there was a long queue of recruits on the school grounds. It wasn't because they were diligent, but because they were frightened by yesterday's elimination method.

Atlas, on the other hand, had just come over from morning training and silently found his position where he stood yesterday.

But there was some commotion among the crowd because of Atlas's arrival.

After all, his figure in the physical training yesterday left a deep impression on them.

Moreover, the leader of the three monster recruits secretly circulated in the recruiting camp also made Atlas famous.

Soon it was time for the test, and Zephyr and Shuzo appeared in front of everyone on time, followed by a machine about 4 meters high and 3 meters wide, which landed steadily next to them.

"Very good. It seems that no one is late today. Today's test uses a machine carried out by the Special Science Group. The measured value is called the Doriki(power value)!"

"Of course, the power value is just a static display of your physical data and cannot determine your combat effectiveness. There are many factors that affect combat effectiveness, including your mentality, will and other things on the battlefield."

Shuzo slowly explained while looking at the curious eyes of all the recruits.

After saying that, Shuzo picked up the list in his hand and called them one by one in the order on the list to the machine to prepare for the test.

"Grus!"

Grus was a little surprised when he heard his first test, but he quickly walked out of the queue and stepped forward.

"Come on, use your most powerful attack to hit the machine. You can use physical skills or sword skills."

Shuzo explained to Grus and stepped aside.

"Bang!" Grus used all his strength to send his fist to the testing machine.

"Power value: 550!"

A cold electronic synthesized sound floated out from the machine.

"Next! Kirkland!"

Shuzo continued to read the name, with neither sadness nor joy on his face, making it difficult to tell whether this result was good or bad.

"Bugra! Power value: 230!"

"Berengel! Power value: 180"

"Smoker!"

"Power value: 800!"

"Hiss~" Everyone took a breath. After the previous rounds of tests, they had a rough idea of ​​what the power value was like.

It can be said that a value of 520 or above truly transcends the limits of the human body and reaches the level of Superman, and Smoker's value of 800 really shocked them, not to mention that Smoker is also a Logia Devil fruit power.
