Chapter 718: Enel's Advance!
"Hoo—hoo—hoo—"
Enel paid no mind to the various exclamations and discussions around him, because the rapidly jumping numbers on the Display Screen in front of him drew his entire Line of Sight.
At the same time, he was sprinting on the Treadmill at an incredibly fast Speed.
Driven by his Legs, which had become Afterimages below, his two long Earlobes bounced up and down like a hopping Dancer.
Run!
Run again!
Keep running!
This was Enel's only Thought right now, because he was determined to use this 'Combat Strength Assessment' to raise his Military Rank as much as possible.
He had had enough of his current rank of Colonel.
The sight of Borsalino, Kaido, and the others slowly leaving him behind had truly stimulated his self-esteem.
What shame!
Given his own Strength, he should clearly be one of them, not lumped together with these useless Officers.
Furthermore, he was a 'Shichibukai' directly under Lord Imu, a true 'Apostle of God'.
Even in the Military, he should be a High and Mighty Existence!
"The timed 120 centimeters is about to end. Please slow down over the next five minutes to avoid injury."
"The timed 120 centimeters is about to end. Please slow down over the next five minutes to avoid injury."
"The timed 120 centimeters is about to end. Please slow down over the next five minutes to avoid injury."
Suddenly, in front of the sweating Enel, the Monitor issued continuous prompts. This made him slow down his Speed while staring at the number representing kilometers.
[606km]
This was already twice the passing requirement for Flag Officers. Clearly, the Physical Training he underwent on Noah's Ark before was not in vain.
"Excellent. Achieving this Speed without using any Technique or Ability has already reached the level of most Rear Admirals."
Chinjao walked over, looked at Enel, and smiled.
"Next, you can rest for ten minutes, then head to Training Ground Number Eight for the Combat Assessment."
"Okay."
Enel nodded calmly. His Observation Haki could perceive the opponent's powerful Aura, so his Attitude was much more restrained.
If it were someone much weaker than himself, he wouldn't have bothered to acknowledge them and would have just turned around and left.
This wasn't Contempt, but disregard.
A moment later.
Enel, who had put on his Blue Justice Coat again, flapping the large Influence on his back, slowly landed from the air at one end of 'Training Ground Number Eight'.
It was actually just a flat Open Ground roughly the size of a Soccer field, where the Army Soldiers conducted their daily Physical Training.
There were a full fifty such large Training Grounds within the Army Headquarters!
Opposite.
His Opponent was a Fish-man Colonel from Marine Headquarters.
Outside the field, naturally, a large number of spectators were gathered. Some of them were Officers who would also undergo Combat Assessment here later, and some were those who had already finished.
Not far away.
An Instructor from the Military and Political Department shouted loudly: "Combat Assessment! You may use your respective Weapon and Ability, but you must not harm the opponent's life, otherwise it will be counted as an Assessment failure!"
He had already said this sentence many times today, and would certainly have to say it many more times.
There was nothing he could do, this was his job.
"Combat Start!"
The Instructor with the Lieutenant Colonel Military Rank suddenly swung down his raised Arm.
[Crack!]
The next second, a dazzling Electric Flash made everyone's Eyes shut tightly, and at the same time, a huge Thunderclap sounded in their ears.
When they opened their Eyes again, they immediately saw that the Fish-man Colonel had rolled his Byakugan and fainted on the ground, with wisps of black Smoke still rising from his Body.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and Report the Result."
Enel sat cross-legged in Mid-air, impatiently picking his ears and urging them.
"Uh... Assessment over! Colonel Enel of Air Force Headquarters wins!" The Lieutenant Colonel Instructor serving as Referee quickly shouted, then asked: "Would you like to challenge for the rank of Commodore tomorrow?"
"Of course~"
Enel glanced at him. After speaking, his entire being instantly turned into a Lightning Flash and disappeared into thin air.
[Whoosh!!]
Immediately, the entire field became noisy, with discussions rising and falling. The Officers from Army Headquarters and Marine Headquarters were all shocked by the Ability Enel displayed.
"That seemed like a Logia System, right?"
"Lightning! It must be the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from the Logia System! Ahhhh, his Luck is too good! Why wasn't it me!"
"Hey, this person has basically secured the Vice Admiral Rank. How enviable..."
However, their words also sparked conversation among many Air Force Officers.
They vividly recounted how Enel had previously challenged multiple Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals in succession, and then fought with Admiral 'Kizaru'.
Although Enel's Personality wasn't very likable.
But in the Army, as long as you are Strong enough.
You could gain the Respect, and even worship, of most people.
From this point on.
Enel, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit User, officially made his debut among the Three Forces, gaining the attention and recognition of many Officers, who looked forward to his performance on the Otherworld Battlefield in the future.
In any case, it was certainly a happy Matter for their side to have such a figure emerge!
The second day, nine o'clock in the morning.
Enel arrived at 'Training Ground Number Eight' as scheduled.
However, this time there were several times more spectators standing outside the field than yesterday, forming a dense and spectacular crowd.
Because they were uniformly wearing Coat of Justice of various colors.
Further behind them was a group of Warriors of the Giant Tribe.
"Hmph."
Seeing himself being watched like a Monkey, Enel pouted unhappily, then turned his Gaze towards his first Opponent of the day.
A Commodore from Army Headquarters.
Looking at the opponent's obviously strangely proportioned long legs, one could tell at a glance that he was definitely from the Longleg Tribe.
When the Instructor not far away shouted "Combat Start".
The Commodore, with a solemn Expression, immediately strode forward with his long legs and charged towards Enel at full Speed.
Enel tentatively sent out a bolt of Lightning.
As expected, the opponent dodged it using his Observation Haki and agility.
Then he continued to approach rapidly in a Z-shaped pattern.
"Red Leg: Cheek Meat!"
Brigadier General Kalman leaped into the air over twenty meters high.
He unleashed a fierce side kick towards Enel who was floating there.
Looking closely.
His Legs and feet were already stained with a pitch-black color that gleamed with a metallic sheen.
This was Partial Hardening from Armament Haki.
And the Kicking Technique originating from 'Red Leg' wrapped his legs in a layer of visible Qi Energy.
That was Strength capable of easily sweeping away Bullets and kicking apart Steel!
"Too slow~"
Over a dozen ways to defeat the opponent flashed through Enel's mind.
In the end, he chose to instantly appear behind the opponent.
With a blow that even if the opponent's Observation Color perceived it, his Body was unable to react to the fierce Electric Shock that finished him off.
"Ahhhhhh————"
Brigadier General Kalman's Haki was simply unable to resist the Electric Flash that enveloped his entire Body.
The entire person let out a piercing Scream before falling straight down.
"Who's the next Rear Admiral? Hurry up and come up, don't keep the Vice Admiral behind you waiting impatiently, Yehahaha~~"
Enel, like an Angel, was flashing with streaks of darting Electric Serpents all over his Body.
Looking down from above, he surveyed the Officers of the Three Forces across the entire field and let out arrogant laughter.
He wanted to be promoted to Admiral in one go; that was the Position he should be in!
