You don’t want god-level superpowers, so you choose the worst talent?.

Chapter 226 Zhao Zheng: Admiral of the Navy? So-so
Smoker the Smoker is now at the rank of Brigadier General.

He is also the highest-ranking general present.

Now that he has spoken, the conscription conditions must be changed!

soon.

New conscription conditions are released: only "strong" ones will be recruited!
The standard for being strong here is not high, it is enough to have extraordinary abilities.

Whether it's great strength, great speed, or the ability to use a devil fruit... it all works.

Once these conditions were put forward, more than half of the people present were immediately disqualified.

Although many people expressed their dissatisfaction, Yan Nan chose to ignore them.

Letting these cannon fodders go into battle would only mean they would die, but he felt that he was doing this for their own good.

"Then, those who meet the requirements or have confidence in their own strength can come and sign up."

The navy soldier in charge of recruiting said loudly.

I originally thought that few people could meet such requirements, but unexpectedly, quite a few people stood up.

Most of them are strange people with extraordinary appearance.

There are big fat guys who are as fat as balls, little giants who are two or three meters tall, and some guys whose muscles are so exaggerated that they don’t look like normal people.

Zhao Zheng and others were also among them.

They are almost the only ones who look relatively normal.

The first person to come on stage at this time was a burly man over two meters and five meters tall, who was showing off his strength.

He was seen lifting a stone weighing thousands of pounds directly above his head, which caused a burst of exclamations.

"The power is good."

Zhang Chenggang commented indifferently.

His current strength is definitely stronger than that of this strong man.

"Teacher said that in this world, many people are not normal. It's true! Any passerby is more than two meters and five meters tall?"

"I heard there are many giants, and sub-giants who are several meters tall..."

Jiang Hebin and others were discussing in low voices.

Zhao Zheng also watched with great interest.

At this time, Song Haitang suddenly approached him and asked in a low voice: "The sun in the sky... has no effect on you?"

It is a sunny day in the Pirate World.

Zhao Zheng was startled when he heard Song Haitang's reminder.

He then remembered that he had been exposed to the sun for so long, but his properties had not changed at all...

How is this going?

Then, Zhao Zheng remembered the original setting of Superman:
All of Superman's super powers come from sunlight, especially the yellow sun. When he is exposed to yellow sunlight, he gains various superhuman abilities, including flight, superhuman strength and speed.

On the contrary, if Superman is exposed to the light of the red sun, he will lose all his super powers and become an ordinary person...

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng frowned slightly.

Could it be that his Kryptonian bloodline also has to follow this setting?
What if you travel through a spiritual world in the future and encounter a red sun?
Like a vampire, hide in a place without sunlight?
Of course, the probability of encountering a red sun should be very small.

Generally speaking, a star that emits red light means that the star has reached the late stage of burning and has experienced a shorter unstable phase. This phase is called a "red giant"!
Usually, when a star enters the red giant phase, its galactic environment becomes extremely harsh, and no life will appear...

After the red giant comes the white dwarf.

"Zhao Zheng?" Song Haitang called again.

Zhao Zheng finally came back to his senses from his wild thoughts: "Oh, I'm fine... I guess only the light from younger stars can make me stronger. This sun should be special and has no effect on me."

This is his guess.

Whether it is correct or not, Zhao Zheng needs to verify it himself in the future.

Song Haitang nodded and said nothing more.

soon.

It's their turn to test their strength.

Jiang Hebin was the first one.

Before the test, the guy asked, "If I do well, will there be any special treatment?"

The navy soldier in charge of recording heard this and did not dare to make a decision, so he looked towards Smoker.

Smoker came over with a cigar in his mouth.

He looked Jiang Hebin up and down, and then said, "Of course, if you really have outstanding strength, I can represent the Navy Headquarters and directly award you a rank, so you don't have to start from the lowest level of soldiers."

Jiang Hebin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Smoker reminded again: "However, my power is limited. I can only confer the highest rank of Warrant Officer. For higher ranks, you need to apply to the headquarters."

He spoke these words in a loud voice, not only to Jiang Hebin, but also to everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone showed excitement.

……

The Navy Headquarters in this world has many levels of military ranks, which can be divided into six major levels, with a total of nineteen ranks!
First are the lowest-ranking soldiers, mainly including miscellaneous soldiers, third-class soldiers, second-class soldiers and first-class soldiers.

Next is the rank of NCO, including Corporal, Sergeant and Sergeant Major. Usually, when you reach the NCO level, you can manage a small team!

Then, there are the lieutenant ranks, including the warrant officer that Smoker just mentioned, and the higher-level second lieutenant, lieutenant and captain.

When one reaches the rank of lieutenant, he becomes an officer.

As for higher ranks, there are major, lieutenant colonel and colonel, as well as brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general and general...

before coming.

The teacher once told us that no matter which camp we join, we should try our best to get a high position.

For example, the navy camp.

If you become an officer in a short period of time and can lead a team, then on the battlefield, when you command the soldiers to kill pirates, all the pirates killed by the naval soldiers in the team will be counted as your military merit!
That is the battlefield contribution value.

simply put.

The higher your rank, the greater your chance of gaining battlefield contribution points!

……

then.

Jiang Hebin roared angrily and immediately activated the werewolf form, turning into a werewolf over two meters and three meters tall and extremely strong!
His change shocked many of the natives around him.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Is he a devil fruit user?"

Jiang Hebin ignored the surprised looks around him and began to express himself.

Next, he displayed amazing speed, strength, and destructive power!

With a charge, he arrived next to a huge rock in the blink of an eye, and then with a swing of his claws, the rock was instantly split into four pieces...

This scene made many naval soldiers feel cold all over.

In their eyes, Jiang Hebin's performance was too scary.

Even Smoker's deputy, Tashigi, showed a look of surprise.

Dashiqi is a woman who wears glasses and looks a little dull.

However, his eyesight is not bad.

"Is he an animal-type devil fruit user?" She pushed her glasses and whispered, "Why do I always feel that there is a dark aura about him?"

She was absolutely right.

Werewolves are dark creatures...

Smoker next to him nodded and said nothing.

……

After Jiang Hebin finished his performance, Smoker said, "Based on the strength you have shown, I should give you the rank of warrant officer. However, you don't have any military merits... Start with the rank of sergeant!"

Hearing this, Jiang Hebin's smile froze on his face.

After all, he was a fourth-rank warrior, and he originally thought that with his performance, he could at least get himself a warrant officer. Unexpectedly, Smoker only gave him the rank of "sergeant"?
So stingy!

But the decision was in Smoker's hands, so he couldn't protest and could only accept it.

With the example of Jiang Hebin, next.

Zhang Chenggang and others have demonstrated extraordinary strength.

However, Smoker was too strict and would not easily grant high military ranks, so most of them only reached the level of "sergeant".

When Zhang Chenggang and others were performing, Zhao Zheng reminded them, "Wang Fei, don't show off your abilities later. Just use your normal strength and speed."

Wang Fei was confused and couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Because your ability is the same as the protagonist King Luffy!
And King Luffy is the target that Smoker has been pursuing all his life! !
If you show your ability of the Rubber-Gum Fruit in front of Smoker, what will Smoker think? He might even catch you as King Luffy.

Zhao Zheng did not explain these hidden secrets, but just said: "Just listen to me. Anyway, I am here. As long as you successfully join the navy camp, it doesn't matter whether you have a military rank or not."

If possible, Zhao Zheng even wanted the three of them not to join the navy camp, but to find a place to hide for three days.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work!
Because the task prompts clearly state that you must join any camp to be eligible to participate in the war, and eligibility to participate in the war also means eligibility to receive rewards.

If they didn't join the camp, even if Zhao Zheng defeated the entire battlefield, the three of them would not get any rewards!

"Ok, I see."

Wang Fei said.

Although this kid is simple-minded, he is obedient.

This was why Zhao Zheng chose him as his teammate.

He definitely doesn't want someone who is stubborn, opinionated, and likes to get stuck in a rut.

“And Haitang, when you fill in your abilities later, don’t say you have the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit.” Zhao Zheng reminded again, “Because the Fire Fist Ace who is about to be executed has the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit.”

Song Haitang nodded: "I understand."

Zhao Zheng actually didn't need to remind her of this, as Teacher Shen had warned her before she came.

Anyway, there are too many people who can use fire in the pirate world. Any cat or dog can show off his skills...

As the saying goes: Even dogs won’t eat the Flame-Flame Fruit!

Song Haitang could get away with it by just mentioning any devil fruit related to fire.

"Next!"

A navy soldier shouted.

It's Chen Kai's turn.

This guy activated his metalization ability as soon as he came on the field, passed the level easily, and successfully joined the navy camp.

So are Wang Luffy and Song Haitang.

Finally, Zhao Zheng appeared.

When Zhao Zheng walked forward, he fell into deep thought.

He was thinking, what ability should he use?
He really has too many abilities...

"Hey Hey hey!"

Seeing Zhao Zheng in a daze, a navy soldier reminded him: "If you don't have any ability, just retreat! Don't waste time."

Zhao Zheng was not angry either, he just smiled and said: "These methods of testing strength are too low-end, they can't measure my true strength!"

Hear this.

Many people were stunned.

From the time of testing strength till now, this is definitely the most arrogant thing said.

It is rare to find such an arrogant person.

"Arrogant!" The navy soldier in charge of the test shouted, "What strength do you have? How dare you say such big words?"

"What strength do I have?" Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and said, "My strength is at least at the level of a navy admiral!"

He is certainly not an arrogant person.

However, the main task this time is battlefield contribution.

Since a higher military rank could potentially improve mission progress, he would definitely have to move to a higher position.

And the mission time is so short, so of course we have to be high-profile!

Zhao Zheng's idea was to alert the Marshal of the Warring States Period and promote him to the rank of general...

but.

His arrogant words angered many naval soldiers.

In the eyes of naval soldiers, the three admirals of the navy are not only the strongest combat force of the headquarters, but also the idols they admire!
Zhao Zheng compared himself to the navy admiral, which was simply disrespectful to the idol for the navy soldiers!

"You are too presumptuous!"

"Damn guy..."

"General Smoker, let me teach him a lesson..."

A group of naval soldiers glared at Zhao Zheng and criticized him.

Zhao Zheng smiled faintly and clenched his fists slightly.

next moment!
Armament Haki is activated.

"Buzz!"

His fists instantly turned black, like metal.

Scarlet lightning kept appearing on his body, making noises like lightning and thunder.

At the same time, Zhao Zheng's aura quickly rose to a terrifying level.

Clearly, he looked like just an ordinary person (restraining his aura) in the last second, but the next moment his aura was fully released, making him look like a devil descending to the earth!
Everyone around was stunned.

Lian Jiang Hebin and others all had an expression of disbelief.

They never expected that Zhao Zheng's aura was so strong!
And this is the effect when Zhao Zheng has not activated the domineering aura.

With his current master-level domineering aura, once it is activated, there will definitely be no more than five people who can stand on the scene.

……

at this time.

All the navy soldiers were stunned.

They may not know the Armament Haki, but the terrifying aura of Zhao Zheng cannot deceive anyone.

At this moment, they seemed to feel that the boy in front of them was more powerful than Admiral Akainu...

The expressions of those generals who knew about Armament Haki changed.

Especially Smoker the Smoker!

He was very familiar with Armament Haki because he himself knew how to use it.

However, his current Armament Haki is not at a high level.

It is far from what Zhao Zheng showed.

Looking at the scarlet lightning wrapped around Zhao Zheng's body, Smoker's expression became extremely solemn.

This level of Armament Haki is even stronger than that of his mentor "Zeff"!

Perhaps, only the naval hero "Garp" can compete with Zhao Zheng.

Who is Karp?

He was the legendary navy who had chased after the "Pirate King" and was a long-established master.

And what about Zhao Zheng?

At such a young age, he has mastered such a strong Armament Haki?
How did he do that?
……

"Why? This level scares you."

Zhao Zheng smiled calmly, and suddenly looked towards an island in the distance. He asked, "There shouldn't be anyone living on that island, right?"

Everyone didn't understand why Zhao Zheng suddenly asked this and nodded subconsciously.

"That's a deserted island." A navy soldier replied.

Zhao Zheng said, "Use that deserted island to test my strength!"

The words fell.

Zhao Zheng soared into the sky, his entire body like a flash of lightning, breaking through the void, and in the blink of an eye he was above the island...
