World Military Draft Concludes

Wuli and Grant's duel also woke the old head chef. He rubbed his head and thought to himself, How did I suddenly fall asleep?

He felt as though he had forgotten something, but no matter how hard he tried to recall it, nothing came to mind.

Hearing a loud crash from the cafeteria, he walked in and saw it completely destroyed. He stared at the scene before him in disbelief, pointed at everyone, and was too furious to speak for a moment.

The elderly man took several deep breaths before calming down enough to snap, "What have you done? How did you wreck this place so badly? Do you know what this place is? This is a cafeteria! Not a battlefield! I'm responsible for feeding the entire base. How am I supposed to explain this to my superiors after you destroyed it?"

At the sight of the old head chef suddenly appearing, everyone present froze. Then, embarrassed by his words, Grant and Wuli stopped fighting as well.

Hina stood up and apologized to the old head chef. Then she swept her gaze around the room and said coldly, "Everyone involved in destroying the cafeteria will stay and restore everything to how it was. You may leave once the work is finished."

The crowd erupted, but no one said anything. After all, they were participants to some extent.

After saying that, Hina asked the old head chef, "Would this arrangement be acceptable?"

The old head chef looked at Hina, then at the sincere gazes around him, before reluctantly nodding. "It needs to be restored as soon as possible!"

"Did you all hear that? Why are you still standing around? Get to work!" Hina shouted at the dazed crowd.

Wuli rubbed his nose and answered together with Grant and the others, "Yes!"

Grant shot Wuli an unwilling glare. "We haven't settled who won this time. If I'm not dismissed, I'll come find you again and settle it."

With that, he dragged Zepa, who was shouting, "It should be me!" into the work of rebuilding the cafeteria.

Wuli sighed and began rebuilding the other side with Jango and Fullbody.

Grant walked up to Koby and Helmeppo. "What are you two standing around for? Get over here and help us!"

"We have to go too?" Koby and Helmeppo asked blankly.

"Who else?"

And just like that, Grant dragged them into the cafeteria reconstruction work as well.

"Let's help too. We watched the fight from the sidelines, so we count as participants too," a Marine suddenly said.

"Yeah, let's join them. How long would it take just a few of them to finish?"

"Right, right. Let's all go."

Every Marine present joined Grant and the others in rebuilding the cafeteria, leaving Grant and the others deeply moved.

After everyone's hard work, the cafeteria was finally restored to its former state. Seeing how exhausted they were, the old head chef softened and worked with the kitchen staff to prepare a lavish meal as a reward. Only then did Wuli begin to feel like he had become part of the Marines, while Grant and the others' resistance toward the Marines, caused by Kuzan's departure, eased considerably.

As the warships sent to receive Sakazuki, Kizaru, and the other admirals returned to Marine Headquarters, the World Military Draft drew close to its end.

The prospective Marines selected through the World Military Draft gathered at Marine Headquarters, standing in orderly ranks as they listened to Fleet Admiral Sakazuki's speech.

"First, congratulations to all of you for passing the World Military Draft selection and honorably becoming members of the Marines. I hope you will shoulder justice, obey orders, execute them strictly, uphold Marine justice, become outstanding Marines as soon as possible, and defend the honor of the Marines." Sakazuki's deep, commanding voice rang across the plaza.

"Next, I hereby announce that the appointment ceremony for the two admirals will now begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Marines all turned toward the platform, where Fujitora and Ryokugyu stood beside the tall, lean Kizaru, dressed in a yellow-and-white striped suit and wearing sunglasses. Their gazes burned with fervor.

Especially when the two new admirals swore, "For justice!" the Marines gave the most standard salutes, expressing their highest respect.

The two-year World Military Draft had finally come to an end. Famous newspapers across the world printed issues frantically, while countless seagulls and video transponder snails carried the news throughout the world.

Wuli also received word from Hina regarding his assigned position. Then, with a ding, a new message appeared in the system inside his mind.

Ding~ World Military Draft mission completed. Congratulations, you have received 200 experience points.
