One Piece: My Spirit

Charles was taken to a hall to wait quietly, while Iska and Marilou rested in the side hall, or it didn't matter if they could be taken by the sailor in charge of the reception to visit other places.

In this hall, besides Shire, there are several marines wearing 'justice' cloaks sitting on the sofa in the hall, and a lot of food is placed on the long table on the other side of the hall, which is probably used to entertain the naval officers in the hall.

Charles looked around, and there were 8 people including himself. Charles thought to himself that these should be naval colonels from various places who came to participate in the colonel's commissioning just like himself.

However, the 8 people at the scene were basically male, and no female navy was seen. The higher the military rank, the lower the proportion of female navy, and at the same time, there was no face of the future navy that Charles was familiar with.

And Shire found that he seemed to be the youngest of the navy present, but this year Shire was only 19 years old, and it was indeed rare to be a captain at the age of less than 20 years old.

It didn't take long for another tall navy with a terrifying appearance to enter the hall under the leadership of a sailor. He was wearing armor but had a "justice" cloak outside, curly black long hair and a skinny and terrifying face, holding a huge double-edged sword in his hand. Charles recognized the man in front of him at a glance, T Penn.

Although Shire does not know this person well, he still has a deep impression on him in the plot of the original novel. Although T Penn looks scary on the outside, he has a kind heart. His interest is helping others, and he cares about his subordinates and the people very much. His motto is "do good deeds every day".

At the same time, a senior general with black sunglasses and long hair came in from the door, and this person was Commodore Brandon of the Navy Headquarters.

Brandon first introduced himself to the nine naval colonels in the hall, and at the same time congratulated everyone for being just one step away from becoming the backbone of the navy. After saying a lot of other superficial words, he finally conferred on everyone.

And Shire was the last one to come forward to accept the appointment. I don't know if it was an illusion. Shire felt that Brigadier General Brandon's eyes under the sunglasses seemed to be sizing him up all the time when he entered the door.

After the commissioning of Shire, the last member of the navy, the purpose of this trip has been completed, but at this time Brigadier General Brandon continued to say that there will be a small test of strength later.

Then Charles and the others went to a huge open-air training ground under the leadership of a sailor. In the training ground, groups of sailors could be seen training basic physical skills, or practicing individual competitions.

Shire and other nine naval colonels were brought to a ring, on which stood a total of nine generals from the Navy headquarters to conduct a one-on-one combat test on everyone.

Shire and the others seemed to have expected this, and some people had already started gearing up, because they knew that this so-called small test was actually a test of their strength by the headquarters, and it was also a stage for them to show their strength and potential.

Then Branau introduced that the navies in the arena are basically colonels stationed at the Naval Headquarters, and of course there are also a small number of brigadier generals and major generals.

And on the ring, Charles also saw a familiar figure - Bogart!

Lieutenant General Garp's adjutant, Major General Bogart, is also the leader of Shire's domineering introduction!At this moment, Bogart seemed to notice Charles' gaze, and nodded secretly.

Afterwards, as expected, it was Bogart that Charles was facing. Although it was a ring, in fact, the nine people including Charles were separately conducting combat tests in each area.

Charles and Bogart seem to have a tacit understanding. The two sides did not exchange too many pleasantries. After nodding each other, the combat test began.

As soon as the two came up, they directly used the "armed color" domineering to have a long-lost face-to-face confrontation. They hadn't seen each other for more than a year. Although Bogart knew that Charles's domineering cultivation should improve very quickly, he didn't expect the progress to be so rapid.

Bogart could only feel the mighty force coming from the opponent's sword, and Bogart couldn't help but take two steps back!
Although both sides were just a trial, Bogart was vaguely at a disadvantage in just a frontal confrontation. At the same time, he also felt that Shire's swordsmanship had improved to a higher level.

Immediately, Bogart also became serious, because from the short fight just now to his own disadvantage, Bogart understood that the current Shire in front of him was not lost to him at all.

As a result, every time the two swords collided, there would be piercing sword sounds. Charr's simple retraction and slash, straight stab counterattack, and horizontal slash and reverse slash seemed to contain a powerful force, which made Bogart completely suppressed.

But in the face of Bogart's exquisite 'slash', Charles still swung a seemingly simple and unremarkable horizontal slash.

Slash with one blow!
No matter how exquisite Bogart's sword moves were, Shire would always be able to break them with a single blow. Bogart also had a great headache for Shire's swordsmanship of breaking through 'power' that he didn't know where he learned from.

Both sides stopped at the same time when they fought each other for the last knife. At the same time, Bogart also announced that this test was over. After shaking hands with Charles, Bogart also nodded to Charles: "Very good!"

Although the two didn't seem to have a winner in the end, Bogart knew that the young Charles in front of him had enough strength to surpass him, and he didn't try his best, but Bogart also believed that the same was true for Charles, so the two sides finally stopped with a tacit understanding.

Although the battle between Shire and Bogart seemed fierce, it did not attract too many people's attention, because everyone was attracted by the other two navies who were captains of the same navy as Shire.

One of them is T Penn, known as "Ship Slasher". It is said that he can easily kill huge sea kings, and he can cut pirate ships into pieces like steaks to get the title of "Ship Slasher". He uses a special straight-edged sword that almost never bends.

The one who fought against T Penn was a Commodore, and the arena where the two sides fought was also destroyed to pieces.

The other person is a devil fruit user whose name seems to be Xialin Kuer, who can turn various parts of the body into wheels for spinning attacks. His opponent is also a Commodore.

It's T Penn and Charlene Kuhl, the two naval captains, who stand out because of how they fight and wreak havoc.

On the contrary, the moves between Charles and Bogart don't have that much visual impact in the eyes of outsiders. Even the swordsmanship game between Bogart and Charles often seems a bit 'simple' to outsiders. Even after the competition between the two is over, only a small part of the ring is destroyed, and the rest is intact.
