One Piece – Thundergod Marine-Chapter 11 Headquarter

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

A huge mountain-like fortress stands here, and two huge black characters “Justice” is painted on the outer wall. The wide square in front of the fortress is large enough to accommodate 100,000 people. There are many battleships lined up in the bay area. The high-flying Marine banner speaks of faith and power!

This is Marine Headquarters, Marineford!

The leviathan of the Sea!

At the top of that magnificent white fortress is the office of Marine’s highest officer, Marine Fleet Admiral.

There was an old man in the office. He was a big, strong man, with a steady, intelligent eye. Only one look would make anyone feel terrified. The funny toad glasses and the feathered seagull on his head did not make him look funny, but they made people unable to understand as to what he is thinking.

This is the Marine Headquarter’s current Marine Fleet Admiral, Sengoku the Golden Buddha!

He was alone in the empty office, accompanied by the goat and seagull who never left his side. As the Marine Fleet Admiral, there are many things that cannot be known to his subordinates and he is the only person who can undertake them.

At this moment, Sengoku looked at the port through the window, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled old face.

“Are you finally back, Garp …”

“Iron Fist” Garp went to Flower Capital to perform a secret mission. Although the mission was not smooth, when he returned, he picked up an innocent Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability user, which made Sengoku happy!

The power of Logia is undoubtedly terrifying, the Logia Elementalization gives them a strong combat power in the early stage, and this power is inherently invincible! In the later period, anyone with good talent would be invincible with Haki and Six Powers, just like the current three Admirals!

A Logia User, and more so the User of Rumble-Rumble Fruit which is known as the strongest Logia Devil Fruit that had disappeared for hundreds of years, now the person who ate this Strongest Fruit had joined the Marine and Sengoku had excitedly clapped his hands when he had heard of this news.

And within a month on the ship, Rowen’s efforts and talents were reported back by Garp, which made Sengoku happy.

As for Garp’s report that Rowen is disrespectful and likes to insult people for his character flaws…

Sengoku doesn’t even care about that and he said that it doesn’t matter!

In contrast to the current three Admiral, one of them is extreme and one is lazy while the last one is Sarcastic, so Rowen is already perfect!

Sengoku can forgive him as long as he is loyal to Marines and acts according to the command and he will forgive Rowen if he caused Garp to suffer brain hemorrhage… Maybe he will clap his hands and beat the drums when that happens!

Sengoku was relieved now that the Dog-Head Battleship had brought Rowen back to the Headquarters.

But he soon lost his smile and regained his dignified appearance.

“No, I can’t rejoice too soon!”

After so many years as a Fleet Admiral, Sengoku has seen many geniuses. Under the key training of talented geniuses, they will either become arrogant and lose their lives or become mere mortals.

Even if it is a Logia user, it does not mean that this person would reach the top.

After thinking for a while, Sengoku took out Den Den Mushi and said, “… Immediately notify Vice-Admiral Tsuru, Vice-Admiral Garp, and Chief Instructor Zephyr to come to my office for a meeting.”

“Yes Sir!”

Sengoku silently pondered after putting down the Den Den Mushi.

“The Sea has been stable in the past few years, and we have enough time to train Rowen … but before that, we must make sure that he is loyal to Marines.”

After all, it was through a mysterious way that they “Picked-Up” Rower… Sengoku was a little worried…

This is the philosophical question of whether power controls people or people control power. Sengoku saw this from Rowen’s restless heart. Rowen had decided to join the Marines today for stronger power, but who can guarantee that he will not give up Marines for another stronger power?

Uncut jade still needs to be carved, but the discarded parts cannot be recovered. Sengoku doesn’t want Rowen to turn into another Dragon after Marine has worked hard to train him.

…

Rowen always thought that the Battleship on which Garp was riding was already a huge monster. But at the moment, getting off the ship and looking at the tall buildings ahead of him, Rowen clearly realized how ridiculous his previous idea was!

In contrast to the magnificent towering fortress of Marine Headquarters-Marineford, the Doghead Battleship looks small and insignificant, just like a little ant standing next to an elephant… and they are nothing more than flecks of dust on the body of the ant.

A glance at such a huge building will make people fear and admire it!

Marine Headquarters is worthy of the Fortress belonging to the Strongest Force on the Sea!

The soldiers lined up and disembarked in turn, Garp suddenly realized that Rowen’s face was filled with surprise and he leaned in: “So how about it? Dumbfounded? Are you feeling brave?!”

Then he waved his hand to do the introduction.

“This is the Marine Headquarters named Marineford!”

“Uh… what are you so proud of?”

Rowen recovered, and sneered: “I was stunned because of such a magnificent fortress. What does it have to do with you? Did you make it?”

Garp: “…”

That is the truth, but why does Garp have a feeling that this scenario is somewhat wrong?

Trane heard this and raised his eyebrows … and then gave a thumbs up to Rowen!

Well done boy!

This Old Asshole!!

As a Rear Admiral, Trane cannot curse Garp out loud but that doesn’t mean that he cannot praise Rowen for a Job well done!

At this time, an officer wearing a Justice clock came and stood with his feet together, looking at Garp with adoration in his eyes: “Vice Admiral Garp! Fleet Admiral Sengoku has noticed your ship, please go to the office for a meeting!”

In most people’s eyes, “Marine Hero” Garp is just a little careless, and the rest is nothing serious. But in the eyes of veterans who know him well, especially his peers, Garp is a “Jerk” and an “Airhead”!!

“Got it, I’m going…”

Garp was still thinking about Rowen’s remark and he casually waved his as he walked along. “Trane, I’ll go over first,” He said. “Take the thunder kid to recruit camp and bring me a copy of the test results.” ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

“Understood!”

Watching Garp go away, Rowen touched his chin and asked strangely: “Rear Admiral Trane, what test? Aren’t I directly going to that Marine Military Academy?”

Rowen had learned the relevant information on the ship and he knows that Marine has a “Marine Military Academy” and “Recruit Camp”. Marine’s former Admiral “Black Arm” Zephyr is the Commander-in-Chief for the Recruit Camp, while some Rear Admirals are responsible for the Marine Military Academy.

Because of incomplete information, he assumed that the “Recruit Camp”, led by Zephyr himself was the fabled “Tenryubito School”, and that as a civilian freshman, he could only attend the low-grade Military Academy. One Piece World is a semi-feudal society with “World Noble” Tenryubito at the head of it. There is a great difference between the Noble and the Common People.

In response, Trane smiled and explained.

“You misunderstood Rowen … Although Marine Headquarters has two training areas for recruit, only the Recruit Camp is an official organization.”

“The Marine Military Academy is a place where young childrens of Marine families and children with good potential learn and practice from a young age. After graduating from the Military Academy at the age of 15, they enter the Recruit Camp. After passing the training, they are assigned to different units according to their grades.”

“At your age and strength, you can go directly to the Recruit Camp for training instead of going to the Military School…”

After listening to the explanation, Rowen suddenly understood something and he began to curse his stupidity.

Kizaru joined the Recruit Camp when he joined Marine in his 30s. Why would he go to the Marine Military Academy?

The Marine Military Academy is almost like a kindergarten class and he almost entered that class.

…

As the strongest force of One Piece World, there are many different races in Marines besides humans and there is also a variety of talented people. The Longleg people with long legs, the Longarm people with three joints, and bent arms. There are also some intelligent, non-animal-like animals, wearing Marine costumes, sweating in the playground and training.

The mountain that they just walked from afar is Vice Admiral Donald, one of the members of the Marine Giant Unit, Rowen is only as big as the length of his finger!

Following Rear Admiral Trane, Rowen enjoyed the sights and they soon came to a tall building inside the Recruit Camp behind the Fortress.

Trane stopped and verified his identity with the guard, then said to Rowen.

“Don’t be nervous, just perform as you usually do during training! The test result is just to determine what you lack and what you should add so that the Instructor can sort it out and arrange training courses for you.”

This is the so-called “All-Round Targeted Training”, teaching according to someone’s aptitude!

It is similar to Smoker who is also a Logia User, he certainly will not waste his time learning sword arts in the Recruit Camp, he would be learning to use and release his Devil Fruit abilities.

Recruit Camp Instructors develop targeted training based on the test results so that each soldier can get the most exercise and progress!

What else is there to say? Rowen joined Marine to grow stronger! He would do it even if he has to take the test!

His eyes were filled with light as he confidently pushed open the door.

“Relax! I will never fail at critical moments!” ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
