Joining the Navy

The next day, on the deck of the Dog Head Warship, Luo Sa stood face to face with a Marine.

"Luo Sa, this Kato is the weakest rookie on our ship. If you can defeat him, I'll agree to let you join the Marines!" Garp said casually from the side.

Garp's aide Bogard's face changed upon hearing Garp's words. He leaned closer to Garp and said cautiously, "Vice Admiral Garp, there's a regulation in the Marines that you can't enlist before the age of 14. Luo Sa seems a bit too young!"

"What nonsense about age? If Sengoku, that old bastard, comes looking for trouble, I'll take Luo Sa to the recruit camp. Then Luo Sa can sweep through those brats, and see what he has to say!" Garp snorted coldly, full of dominance.

Cold sweat appeared on Bogard's forehead. He didn't say anything more, letting Marshal Sengoku deal with the headache!

"Grandpa, am I making things difficult for you?" Luo Sa said apologetically.

"Not difficult, not difficult!"

A smile appeared on Garp's face, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

Now, Garp felt a sense of guilt towards Luo Sa and wanted to compensate him with all his might.

It could be said that as long as it wasn't something wicked or immoral, he would agree to anything Luo Sa asked. Now, let alone Luo Sa's request to join the Marines!

"If only Ace and Luffy could learn more from Luo Sa!"

Garp couldn't help but think of the two brothers in Windmill Village who were clamoring to become pirates, and sighed helplessly.

After receiving Garp's affirmation, Luo Sa breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Marine Kato opposite him.

From the way Kato had unbuckled his sword just now, he should be a swordsman. Now that he had even put down his sword, Luo Sa had no reason to lose!

"Here I come!"

Luo Sa let out a low cry and transformed into the Winged Gull half-beast form amidst a flash of white light.

His hands, now wings, stretched backward. With a push of his feet, Luo Sa shot forward like a cannonball.

With the 85 speed bonus of the Winged Gull, his speed had reached an astonishing level!

"So fast!"

This time, even the Marines watching exclaimed. Most of them probably couldn't match this speed!

"What a pity. As a swordsman, Kato is very skilled at Soru!"

Some Marines who knew Kato sneered.

As expected, after seeing Luo Sa's speed, Kato also used Soru, instantly surpassing Luo Sa in speed!

Boom boom boom!

On the deck, the figures of the two turned into streaks of light, colliding at high speed.

With a final explosion, the two figures retreated to opposite sides of the deck, their gazes towards each other becoming solemn.

"Why don't you fly? If you were in the air, your speed could increase a lot," Kato said with a smile.

"Then why don't you use a sword?"

Kato was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Sorry, I apologize for underestimating you before. Now, I'm going to get serious!"

"I couldn't ask for more!"

Luo Sa roared again and charged towards Kato.

The two in the arena clashed, fighting to a standstill.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Separating once more, both panted heavily. In the high-speed mobile combat, their stamina rapidly depleted.

"I'll decide this with one move, be careful!"

As he spoke, Luo Sa's pair of wings were suddenly enveloped in white light, emitting a dazzling glow.

"Hmm!"

Kato's face showed solemnity. He firmly planted his feet, hands crossed in front of his chest, seemingly preparing to take Luo Sa's attack head-on!

"Hahaha, exhilarating! Then I'm coming, behold my Wing Chop!"

Luo Sa fully mobilized the Flying Attribute energy within him, condensing it onto his wings, and then charged at Kato at extreme speed.

"Good! Behold my Tekkai!"

Kato also roared, his gaze burning as he looked at the charging Luo Sa.

Boom!

Finally, under everyone's solemn gazes, Luo Sa's crossed wings collided fiercely with Kato, who had used Tekkai.

After a brief stalemate, to everyone's astonished eyes, Kato was sent flying, crashing hard onto the deck behind him.

"I lost!"

Kato stood up with some difficulty, smiling at Luo Sa.

Upon hearing this, Luo Sa merely offered a faint smile and slowly shook his head. "Actually, I should be the one who lost."

He said this not out of modesty, but because he knew he was truly no match for Kato.

During the battle, Kato abandoned his sword, and his relinquishing of aerial superiority seemed very fair.

However, he knew that once a swordsman put down his sword, his strength would drop by an immeasurable amount. It could be said that a swordsman with a sword and a swordsman without one were completely different people!

He appeared to have given up his aerial advantage, but he knew that in the air, he had no long-range attack methods. At most, he could only utilize the speed of his dive. This slight advantage was completely incomparable to Kato with his sword.

Moreover, in the final clash, Kato actually used Tekkai, a technique he wasn't skilled at.

If he had his sword in hand, he would have definitely met the attack with his sword. Having barely won, he would have been the one sent flying!

Kato was stunned, and the smile on his face grew even wider. This guy was quite likable!

The other Marines also smiled, expressing their satisfaction with Luo Sa's actions.

If Luo Sa had acted smug after defeating Kato, they would have looked down on him instead!

"Alright, Luo Sa, you don't need to be modest. You know, when Kato was called the weakest, it was because he didn't have his sword. If he picked up his sword, he would definitely be among the top tier of us!"

Garp walked over, patting Luo Sa's shoulder with a smile. He truly liked this grandson more and more!

Luo Sa's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Then can I join the Marines?"

"Hahaha, of course, the Marines welcome you!" Garp let out a hearty laugh.

This time, his subordinate Bogard also said nothing more. Luo Sa had proven himself through combat, and Luo Sa was only 10 years old!

With such strength at this age, what was wrong with the Marines making an exception for him!

"Bogard, do you have any more questions now?" Garp was very proud, desperately wanting to show off.

Bogard quickly said no, which made Garp very satisfied, and even more satisfied with Luo Sa!

"Hmph, that old geezer Sengoku always said I had problems with my education. Now I'll bring Luo Sa back and see what he has to say!" Garp laughed triumphantly.

Only he didn't notice that Luo Sa, standing beside him, had a change in expression, a look of apology appearing on his face.

He was a Celestial Dragon's slave and could not stay in the Marines forever.

Therefore...

Garp's educational issues would probably be criticized for a lifetime!
