One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Sitting on the left, the lieutenant colonel with a cold and hard face chuckled and turned his head slightly to look at the colonel.

"What? Colonel Doss, are you going to start bragging about that new recruit kid from North Sea again?"

"A rookie brat? Ha."

Doss chuckled, rising from his reclining position, a clear mockery on his face, and retorted without any politeness:

“Bragging? No, my dear Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin, I’m not bragging. I even suspect that the North Sea brat you’re talking about might not even be able to beat you, a Lieutenant Colonel from headquarters.”

"What did you say?!"

A loud crack.

Not only did it startle the other officers standing beside him, but it also frightened the two new recruits who were sparring on the stage, causing them to stop and stand there at a loss.

The table between the two men was cracked by a slap from Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin.

His face contorted with anger, he abruptly stood up, pointed at the leisurely Doss, and rebuked him:

"Doss! Stop spouting nonsense all day about that North Sea brat, saying he can take down these thousands of recruits who are training all by himself. Do you know what that means? Even when Lieutenant Colonel Smoker had Logia-type abilities during recruit training, he wouldn't dare say he could take on the whole group."

He pointed at a burly, white-haired man reclining on another chair, two thick cigars stuffed in his mouth, and angrily berated Doss, whose rank was one level higher than his own.

Benjamin was so confident because although Doss was one rank higher than him, he was not a combat general, but a military doctor.

While military doctors hold a high position within the Navy Headquarters, their status is still significantly lower compared to that of powerful admirals like them.

In the end, strength determines everything in this world, and even the Navy Headquarters is no exception.

The strong naturally earn the respect of others.

For example, Lieutenant Colonel Smoker, who was lying to Dawes's left.

Although he and Benjamin were both lieutenant colonels, he possessed combat power far exceeding his own. Therefore, even some naval officers with higher ranks than Smoker would speak to him politely and without putting on airs.

Not to mention that Smoker also possesses Logia-type abilities, making him quite sought after by the higher-ups at headquarters.

"Huh? How dare you speak to your superior like that, my dear Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin, what are you..."

"Is your skin itchy?"

Doss's lips curled into a smile as he slowly rose from his chair.

He was nearly two meters tall, a head taller than Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin.

When speaking, he looks down at the other person with a condescending gaze.

Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin's face darkened even further after Dawes' arrogant attitude and tone.

"You're just one rank higher than me, when did you become my superior? I'm Lieutenant General Doberman..."

"Stop, stop."

Doss made a pause gesture with his hand, then put his hand behind his ear and looked at Benjamin with an exaggerated expression.

"Lieutenant General Doberman? Did I hear that right? My dear Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin, if you put it that way, then I have no choice but to reveal my identity as the ship's medic on Admiral Sakazuki's ship. Besides, Lieutenant General Doberman is Admiral Sakazuki's direct subordinate~."

Benjamin's tone faltered, his lips twitched, and the words he wanted to say were swallowed back down his throat.

His rugged face flushed red, and his body trembled.

Suddenly, he pointed his finger at Doss's nose and roared, "I don't care about any of that! If you've got the guts, come up here and let's fight one-on-one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Doss's lips became even more exaggerated.

"Are you serious? I don't want to be known for bullying my subordinates."

His sarcastic tone made Benjamin even angrier.

Benjamin didn't say anything, but directly used the Six Styles of Shave, disappearing in front of Dawes and flashing onto the arena.

He waved for the two recruits to step back, then suddenly opened his mouth and shouted:

"Please, Colonel Doss, come forward and offer your guidance!"

This loud shout immediately attracted the attention of the new recruits and some instructors who were training nearby.

Immediately, some instructors signaled for a temporary break and led a large group of new recruits over with great interest.

With a smile on his face, Dawes slowly walked towards the ring.

Smoker, lying on the recliner, glanced at Benjamin with pity in his eyes.

Are generals who accompany their commanders on voyages for many years weak?

Chapter 74 This brat is mine!

"shave!"

On the ring, Benjamin, furious, had just stood still when Doss disappeared from his sight, startling him.

call!

A strong gust of wind blew from behind him, making his hair stand on end.

The distance was too close; he didn't even have time to use the same shave technique and had to hastily resort to a defensive move.

"Iron block!"

Bang!

A jet-black fist came from below and struck him in the abdomen, making Benjamin vomit bile. His body flew backward like a cannonball, leaving a long trail on the ring.

This brief exchange attracted hundreds of new recruits to watch from the square.

When they saw Benjamin, a lieutenant colonel, unable to withstand a punch from a colonel who was clearly a doctor, they were shocked.

The new recruits all gaped open, speechless with astonishment.

too fast!

The colonel named Dawes from headquarters lasted less than two seconds from taking the stage to ending the fight.

With just a single Naval Six Style Shave, plus a powerful punch, he defeated Benjamin, a lieutenant commander.

Doss slowly walked over to Benjamin, who was lying on the ground and unable to get up for a long time, and comforted him with a smile.

"Not bad, dear Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin. You managed to take one of my punches without passing out. Your strength is indeed impressive."

"How can it be repaired?"

Benjamin gritted his teeth, forced himself to get up, and glared hatefully at the grinning Doss.

Domineering!

This hideous guy in front of me has actually mastered Armament Haki!

Moreover, the speed at which the Six Styles burst forth far exceeds that of himself.

I am no match for him at all.

Even after losing, Benjamin was still not convinced.

He snorted coldly, then suddenly pointed at Doss and roared at the hundreds of new recruits below the stage:

“Listen up, you greenhorns. Colonel Doss said that in a few days, a recruit from the North Sea will come and take you all down by himself in this very square. If that brat Rorschach can actually do it, it won't prove he's strong, it will prove…”

Benjamin roared, "You're all useless!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Benjamin's voice was filled with anger, and it was so loud that it almost echoed throughout the entire square.

This meant that almost all the new recruits training in the headquarters square, including the supervising instructors, heard his words.

After a brief silence, the square in Marineford immediately erupted in chaos.

Those young and passionate recruits, who came from branches all over the world, all had angry expressions on their faces and glared at Doss on the ring.

There was no way around it; Doss, wearing a white lab coat, was just too conspicuous.

Coupled with the imposing presence he displayed earlier, he stood out even more from the crowd.

"Are you kidding me? There are at least a thousand new recruits here for the elite training camp selection. That colonel from headquarters is far too arrogant! He actually said that someone could defeat us all by himself!"

The new recruits were filled with excitement.

A young man, over three meters tall and with a full beard, roared:

"Rorschach from the North Sea, is that it? I'll remember that! I, Hendry, will be the first to disagree! I'll be waiting for him to come to headquarters; I'll be the first to challenge him!"

“Luo Xia? I seem to remember him. There have been rumors lately that a remarkable new recruit has emerged in Beihai, claiming that all the new recruits in this batch of headquarters are trash and none of them can fight. Once he arrives at headquarters, he will be dealt with according to Beihai’s traditional rules.”

Among the new recruits, someone stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"The traditional customs of Beihai? What are those? I'm from Beihai, how come I don't know them?"

A new recruit from Beihai asked a question, puzzled.

"It means that one person single-handedly took on an entire batch of recruit training camps, fighting from beginning to end, and breaking through all three training camps."

The Naval Headquarters' recruit training camp was divided into three phases.

The first stage is the selection competition.

In other words, it is a selection process for new recruits, through which elite soldiers are chosen from naval officers and receive high-level training.

The second phase is the elite training camp.

At this stage, the new recruits' instructors will become the legendary Black Arm Zephyr!

It is said that those who can enter the elite training camp will at least become majors in the future.

The third phase is the officer training camp.

Those who receive training at this stage are the elite of the elite classes.

Although he is still a new recruit, he is already being trained as a mid-to-high-ranking officer in the headquarters.

After graduating from officer training camp, you're guaranteed at least a lieutenant colonel or higher in headquarters.

"Are you kidding me? You think you can beat all the new recruits? We're not weaklings!"

"Which bastard made this rule? Is he an idiot?"

Some new recruits scoffed at it.
