Twenty Thousand Push-Ups?!

The opening of Academy City has attracted much attention both inside and outside the Sea Star.

Anyone with even a modicum of standing knows that the World Government has included almost all the renowned scholars from across Sea Star, including scholars from various fields in the Demon Slayer World.

It's important to know that the Demon Slayer World is set close to World War II.

It goes without saying how many outstanding scientists and scholars this period produced.

Most of these people have now been recruited to the Second Special Zone of the Demon Slayer World (formerly Japan Island Nation) for scientific research.

In order to supplement the teaching staff of Academy City, the World Government transferred some suitable teachers from within the city.

No way.

To reiterate, the Sea Star Homeworld is severely inadequate, and there simply isn't enough qualified teachers specializing in theoretical knowledge.

It's worth mentioning.

There are many scholars in the Giant World, but if they are still alive, they are probably still struggling to survive in that 'absolutely free' society.

It must be said that Imu's decision to impose sanctions was indeed rather cruel.

But having already done so, he wouldn't easily retract the order.

Let's get back to Academy City.

Its greatest attraction for royalty and nobility lies in the fact that students graduating from Academy City are given priority in being recruited into the World Government as officials.

Of course, not wanting to be an official is also an option.

They could easily remain in Academy City as scholars or join one of the various research institutes under the Academy of Sciences.

In short, the future looks bright.

Don't assume that these nobles and royalty are just indulging in a life of debauchery. In this 'Star Gate Era' of constant conquest of Otherworld, they also have their own pursuits.

If you want to reap the benefits of this era earlier than others, the best choice is to join the World Government.

Furthermore, having children working within the World Government ensures that no matter what happens in the future, it leaves room for maneuver and opportunity for the family.

So they really went to great lengths to secure these first-batch admissions.

It can be said that...

The majority of the construction costs for this Academy City were contributed by the princes and nobles of these Affiliated Nation.

Just as things were getting lively in RL0005 District.

On the other side of the Red Line, in RL1555 District, lies Army Headquarters, Randfirth.

It was unusually lively at that moment.

The military also scheduled the 'First Three-Year Combat Assessment' for May 1st.

The initial outline limited the participants in this combat capability assessment to generals of Three Armies Commodore and above, with Commodore having the option to choose whether or not to participate.

However, many officers at the school level, upon hearing that those who performed well in the assessment might be directly promoted, strongly demanded that they also be included.

As for those who fail to perform and are demoted, that's just an acceptable risk.

Therefore, the assessment targets became the officers and generals of the Three Armies.

Only

"Professor Zephyr, why do we have to come here? Can't we do the assessment at home?"

Borsalino, clad in a blue Coat of Justice, glanced helplessly at the officers and soldiers passing by, including a navy officer wearing a white Coat of Justice.

Around him were Kaido, Enel, King, and Shiki, who had just become Air Force Headquarters Admiral.

As for the other Air Force officers who served as background figures, we won't go into too much detail.

It has to be said.

When 'Golden Lion' puts on the Coat of Justice, he still looks very imposing; his demeanor is even more like that of Air Force Marshal than Zephyr at the very front.

"Originally, the Three Armies were to conduct their own assessments, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, the decision was changed at the last minute."

As Zephyr strode confidently Earth Flow the Gates of Justice of the Army Headquarters, he explained to Borsalino and the others without turning his head.

Because his primary position was Minister of the Military Affairs Department, this military combat capability assessment was planned by them.

"For the next five days, all officers and generals of the Three Armies will be assessed here, including you Admiral and lieutenant generals. Be prepared."

"This is really a headache."

Borsalino just felt so exhausted.

It's understandable that there might be some incompetent Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral who need to pass such rigorous tests to ensure the quality of combat power. But where are there such people among the Admiral and lieutenant generals?

Look at Uncle Shiki next to me, and then think about Issho from the Navy, Crocodile, Aramaki, and the Admiral from the Army —their quality is already off the charts!

Not long after.

Zephyr met with Raymond and Sengoku, who had arrived earlier, and they seemed to be talking about something.

See here.

The others were also roughly divided into their own circles according to the Admiral, lieutenant Vice Admiral, Rear Admiral, and Commodore who chose to participate. As for why I say "roughly,"

Crocodile, Aramaki, Issho, Jhin, Jozu, and others clearly don't get along with the other admirals.

Look at the lineup of people here.

Sakazuki, Bullet, Crocodile, Aramaki, Jozu, Kuzan, Garp, Issho, Borsalino, Kaido, Shiki.

It was truly a beautiful sight; these people were able to come together, stand on the same side, and be ready to fight side by side at any time.

It can only be said that it's all thanks to Imu, the time traveler; he fulfilled the dreams of 'One Piece fans'!

What are those?

Borsalino raised his hand and pointed to fifty black machines of varying sizes placed on an open space in the distance.

The others looked over at the sound, only to hear Sakazuki speak.

"That's called a treadmill. I heard it was specially made by the Academy of Sciences for this assessment."

"Its purpose is to allow people to run on it, and the device will display the time and distance in kilometers, which saves us the trouble of running around the Red Line."

Kuzan and Borsalino exchanged glances, both seeing the pain in each other's eyes.

This sounds exhausting.

"By the way, the use of abilities is prohibited in this assessment; it tests the physical fitness of the officers." As he spoke, Sakazuki glanced at the two of them.

Garp laughed loudly, "Pfft, hahaha, that sounds hilarious!"

"Indeed, it's a great machine, but I wonder how durable it is. I hope it doesn't collapse before I've even had my fill of running it, Worororo~~"

Kaido joined in with a maniacal laugh.

At this very moment.

Those who felt their endurance couldn't match the two looked grim. These Admiral were all renowned experts; if they couldn't outrun them in the end, it would be a disgrace.

Shiki, Crocodile, and the others realized the seriousness of this great test.

It's about saving face!

Just then, Zephyr, Sengoku, Raymond walked over side by side.

Raymond, the host, chuckled and said, "Those below the rank of general can choose to stay here and watch the physical fitness tests for the colonels, or they can go to the rooms prepared for them to rest."

"As for the Admiral and lieutenant generals, they will come with us. Your assessment will take place in another location."

Upon hearing this, Enel's face darkened, because he was the only Air Force colonel present who wasn't even Commodore.

He had never felt such a strong desire for military rank as he did at this moment.

That's so embarrassing.

There was nothing he could do; that was just how things were. Enel could only watch helplessly as Sakazuki, Borsalino, and the others slowly left, while he had to stay here and hang out with a bunch of people he completely looked down on.

On the other side.

Sengoku and his companions arrived at what appeared to be an ordinary-looking training hall.

"This is."

Just as Kaido was about to ask a question, Raymond walked over and personally opened the door, exposing the interior of the building to everyone.

The light inside was strange, a hazy purple.

"Go in. Your first test is to run two hundred laps inside and do two thousand push-ups within five hours. If you complete it, you pass."

"Sengoku Period," he said softly, his hands in his pockets.

"Ha?"

Garp scratched his ear, asking incredulously, "That's it? And you're giving me five hours? Is that even necessary? Sengoku, are you sure you didn't mean 20,000 push-ups and 2,000 laps?"

I'm very sure.

The Sengoku period calmly nodded.
