Mission: World Military Draft

Two days had passed since the battle in Norslik.

Wuli had also awakened from his coma. He looked at himself, wrapped all over in white bandages.

Wuli could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile.

As expected of the super rookie pirate with the highest bounty in the Worst Generation—he was truly powerful.

However, Wuli did not belittle himself. The next time they met, he would definitely suppress him.

Wuli suddenly slapped his forehead. "The mission—has it been completed?"

Thinking of this, Wuli immediately went to check.

Sure enough, the mission on the mission interface had been completed, rewarding him with 82 experience points.

As for how to use those experience points, naturally, they would be used to level up the Heroic Way System.

The data in Wuli's Heroic Way System became:

Sword Master: Lv2 (42/500)

Name: Wuli

Skills: Shigure Soen Ryu (99%), Floating Rain Divine Wind Sword (1%)

Heroic Spirit Points: 43

During the Heroic Way System's upgrade process, Wuli sensed an incredibly powerful sword intent lying dormant within his body. Clearly, this was the newly unlocked skill.

This was a sword intent seed. As Wuli gained greater comprehension, his sword intent would grow stronger and stronger. Under its nourishment, Wuli's strength and physical constitution would also become increasingly powerful.

The injuries Wuli had suffered before were also recovering at an unbelievable speed.

"Now that I possess two sword techniques, if I run into Eustass Kid again, I'll be able to defeat him." Wuli clenched his fist and smiled.

At that moment, a Marine lieutenant walked in. Seeing that Wuli had awakened and did not look like someone seriously injured, he said in surprise, "You seem to be fine already. You recovered really quickly. Oh, right—Rear Admiral Hina wants to see you."

"Rear Admiral Hina?" Wuli paused upon hearing the name. "I was planning to go out and get some fresh air anyway. I've been stuck in here for the past two days, and it's suffocating."

With that, Wuli got up and headed toward the deck.

The Marine lieutenant watched Wuli's retreating back. He opened his mouth, wanting to remind him not to move around while injured, but seeing that Wuli seemed completely fine, he swallowed his words.

He went to report to Hina.

Looking at the busy Marine base and breathing in the fresh air, it was truly a wonderful day.

Wuli's mood brightened as well.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Before long, the footsteps behind Wuli grew clearer and clearer. He turned around to look.

He saw a sexy beauty in a Marine uniform, a cigarette dangling from her lips, walking toward him.

Seeing Wuli running around while covered in bandages, Hina could not help frowning. "You should recover properly. Don't run around everywhere."

Wuli coughed a few times and said, "My injuries are almost healed. Thank you for saving me. I just don't know about Eustass Kid and the others..."

Before Wuli could finish speaking, Hina gestured for him to stop. She was also somewhat surprised and said, "Treating you—or anyone injured by pirates—is the duty of us Marines. That said, your injuries recovered quite quickly. You were barely clinging to life yesterday."

"As for Kid's group, we did our best to pursue them, but they still managed to escape by luck." A trace of regret flashed through Hina's eyes.

Wuli also found it regrettable, but when he thought about how his strength had improved, he knew he would not give them another chance to escape next time.

"You still haven't told me your name." Hina looked at Wuli.

She was also curious about this man's background.

"Sorry, sorry. I forgot to introduce myself." Wuli was a little embarrassed as well.

"My name is Wuli. I'm a bounty hunter."

"A bounty hunter?" A strange glint flashed through Hina's eyes when she heard those words. "With your strength, you shouldn't be a nobody. Why haven't I heard of you before?"

"Uh, well, I used to operate in the South Blue. I just arrived on the Grand Line," Wuli answered.

"Wuli, I saw you fight Eustass Kid that day. You have strength and a sense of justice." Hina looked at Wuli with praise in her eyes.

The praise made Wuli a little embarrassed.

Then Hina looked at Wuli seriously. "Marine Headquarters is currently holding the World Military Draft. I am Rear Admiral Hina of Marine Headquarters, and I hope you will consider joining the Marines and doing your part to strike against the evil forces of piracy."

"World Military Draft?" Hearing that, Wuli recalled the major event from not long ago.

The Paramount War that had erupted between the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates at Marineford had left a profound impact.

This war had also made Marine Headquarters' upper ranks realize the shortage of high-ranking combat power and the scarcity of mid-ranking combat power, so they began recruiting from across the world.

The higher a Marine Headquarters rear admiral's rank, the more recommendation slots they had. A rear admiral had two recommendation slots.

"I originally had two recommendation slots, but I used them both not long ago."

As she spoke, Hina looked a little awkward, but then she said confidently, "But don't worry. I can definitely get a slot for you."

The World Military Draft was already more than halfway through. To join midway, one could only do so through the approval and recommendation of an inspector.

Ding!

At the same time, a new mission appeared on the mission interface of Wuli's Heroic Way System.

Mission: Participate in and pass the World Military Draft.

Objective: To stabilize the situation and maintain world peace, choosing to join the Marines is only natural. This is also what a chivalrous hero would do. At the same time, see the justice within the Marines and become a Marine through the World Military Draft.

Mission Reward: 200 experience points

Mission Penalty: Deduct 80 experience points and seal skills for one year.

"This punishment is pretty harsh. In that case, I can only pass the World Military Draft. I can't afford not to."
