One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Therefore, once you become a full-fledged Marine, you may face the Black Cat Pirates at any time, and with the strength of an ordinary Marine, the probability of death is extremely high.

Loya understood the hidden meaning in Finch's words.

If you become a full-fledged Marine later, the chances of facing the Black Cat Pirates directly will be lower.

On one hand, the Black Cat Pirates might leave the seas under the jurisdiction of Branch 153 to compete for larger territory, or even enter the Grand Line.

On the other hand, as Captain Crowe's reputation grows, headquarters may send powerful figures to subdue him.

The problem is that Captain Crook's bounty needs to reach at least 2000 million Berries to attract the attention of the Navy Headquarters.

2000 million is the line!

"Brother Di, I won't stop!"

Loya's gaze gradually hardened.

After transmigrating to this world, he kept recalling the information about the East China Sea, and there was one thing he remembered very clearly.

Kro will not leave the East China Sea.

In addition, within two years at most, Kuro will attack the 153rd branch's warship and kill all the marines on board by himself, leaving only Monka, in order to carry out his retirement plan.

If he slacks off and fails to grow stronger than Kuro within two years, he will most likely become one of the marines killed by him.

Even if they are lucky enough to escape this calamity, they will still have to face Monka's dark rule.

Running away won't help!

Once you become a Marine in Branch 153, you will inevitably face this challenge. The only way to survive is to become stronger as quickly as possible, stronger than Kuro!

Before joining the branch, he had considered whether to go to other naval bases, but the navigation environment in this world was extremely bad, and he simply couldn't leave this island.

It's fine to wander around the nearby waters, but if you want to go further afield, you need to apply to the government, otherwise you can easily be regarded as a pirate!

He didn't want to be a pirate, because not only would his life be precarious, but he would also be despised by the world and have no social standing whatsoever.

Furthermore, even if one goes to another branch, one cannot escape danger.

"King of the East Sea" Krieg, "Fishman" Arlong, "Clown" Bucky.

These powerful pirates, with bounties exceeding 1500 million, are entrenched throughout the East Blue. Each one is no less formidable than Kuro. If he wants to rise above others, he will inevitably have to face them.

long silence.

Loya sensed something was amiss and frowned, asking, "What about you? Aren't you also taking the graduation exam? Aren't you worried?"

“I told you, I’m not like you.”

With a grin, Finbdy shook his finger and boasted in a serious tone, "I have connections. It won't be long before I'm transferred to Marine Headquarters."

"."

Damn it, that bastard deserves to die!

Jealousy completely changed Loya.

He trained relentlessly, all for the sake of going to the Navy Headquarters. The Headquarters was the starting point for his rise to prominence; what future could he have staying in the East China Sea?

As a result, that bastard got to Marine Headquarters without doing anything.

I hate people who get ahead through connections!

Having put on a show in front of Loya, Fombardy was in a good mood, as refreshing as drinking an ice cream on a hot summer day.

"Hey, don't be sullen, come on, I'll teach you to dance!"

"Teach me to dance?"

Loya was emanating a black aura.

"Hehe, hehe!"

"You bastard Finchdy, do you think you're all that? Don't underestimate me, I'm not the same person I was just two weeks ago!"

"Let's have a dance battle!"

The loser has to wash the other person's underwear!

"Today I'm going to show you what real dance skills are!"

After half an hour.

Chapter 7 New Recruit Assessment

As the end-of-month assessment approaches, the new recruits are becoming increasingly tense, and their training volume has increased significantly.

The threat posed by Kro is indeed terrifying.

However, for new recruits who have been in the army for more than three months, if they fail to complete the basic physical fitness test in a long time, they may be discharged from the army.

This is something they find even harder to accept.

Many new recruits joined the navy to support their families, and only by becoming a full-fledged private could they receive a salary.

The only ones who are relaxed are the new recruits.

On the day of the assessment.

In the new recruit training area, the others looked at each other in disbelief as they saw Loya heading towards the assessment registration area.

This is only the first month.

"Loya, are you going to take the assessment?"

"Yes."

Loya turned to look at the new recruits of the same class and smiled encouragingly, "Keep up the good work, and become official marines as soon as possible."

"Uh, we..."

The newlyweds watched Loya leave in silence.

The difference is huge.

But strangely, I didn't feel the resentment I had imagined.

The newlyweds exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed bitter smiles.

When they first arrived, they were indeed very hostile towards Loya, mostly out of jealousy. But as they spent more time with Loya, their jealousy gradually turned into admiration.

They witnessed all the effort and hard work Loya put in, and honestly, even now they couldn't do it.

Damn it, no wonder they got stronger!

"Go for it, Loya!"

"You must pass the test!"

"Let those arrogant old fogies see what a newbie can do!"

The newlyweds placed their hands on their cheeks and shouted loudly at Loya's back, attracting the attention of many people.

Loya didn't turn around. He raised his hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and drew them from his ear to the front to indicate that he had received the message.

It will absolutely not fail.

Inside the training ground, most of the new recruits participating in the assessment had arrived, totaling more than twenty people, and they were somewhat surprised to see Loya arrive.

It's very rare for a newcomer to participate in an assessment after only one month of training, but it's not surprising if the other party is Loya.

A week ago, Loya caught up with their training progress.

This kid is really going all out!

Loya stood up straight next to Finch.

"Yo, Loya."

Fenbdi kept his eyes straight ahead and made a sarcastic remark in a barely audible voice.

"You were really cool just now."

"good."

Loya curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

After a month of hard training, the test results were finally in. This physical fitness assessment was not only a test for him, but also a recognition of his own abilities.

He firmly believes that hard work can truly make you stronger!

The first challenge: standing at attention for half an hour.

A row of tables and chairs was set up in front of the military formation, and all of the branch's dozen or so officers, including Colonel Rhodes, were present.

No matter how small the movement, it cannot escape their eyes.

The new recruit assessment is a major event and a good thing for the branch, as the future main force of the branch will come from these new recruits.

Rhodes smiled as he scanned the recruits, pausing slightly when he saw Finbuddy before looking at Loya next to Finbuddy.

His gaze gradually became strange.

Three parts joy, three parts praise, three parts relief, and one part gnashing-teeth anger, like a pie chart.
