There is a lush island with towering trees.

Looking at it, any tree seems to be thick enough for several people to hug it, and even a dozen people may not be able to hug it.

The tree species are also extremely rich. Not only that, various herbaceous plants are dotted here, making it look like an island with a complete ecology. From time to time, many animals of different shapes pass through the forest, giving it a lively look.

Today, many uninvited guests came to this island.

Some animals looked at a few "animals" wearing white clothes and walking on two legs with some curiosity. There was no panic in their eyes, and they seemed to be a little curious.

After all, they seemed to have never seen anything like this before.

Bucky walked through a bush alone, swatted a mosquito that was about the size of one of his fingers to death on his arm, and then quickly climbed up an extremely thick tree, startling several birds.

Bucky didn't care at all. He found a place with many branches, found a place to hang the spear, and then sat on it with a smile on his face.

Unlike others, Bucky never thought about striving for good terms during this assessment. To him, these things are all false, and only treasures are real.

In fact, except for his strength, which ranks among the best in the recruit camp, Bucky is average in other aspects.

For example, I can't say I don't know how to shoot, but I don't have the slightest interest in it. Not to mention other knowledge. Only when it comes to knowledge related to treasure hunting, Bucky will study very hard.

As for the tactical learning, commanding, etc., he just went through it perfunctorily.

Therefore, others will definitely take this assessment very seriously. They just want to get a good result, and they will definitely try their best whether it is for the future or anything else.

Bucky didn't care.

First of all, in terms of his future, he has a very good relationship with Brother Allen. He is his closest brother and will be a future admiral and even marshal. With him taking care of him, Bucky doesn't think he has any problems in this regard.

As for the military rank, it would be nice if it could be higher, but it doesn't matter if it remains as it is now. He just wants to find more treasures.

From the very beginning of the assessment, Bucky found this place soon and planned to stay there until the end of the assessment.

In fact, this assessment was conducted in stages. The first stage was about personal strength, followed by the second stage, which mainly assessed teamwork, and the third stage, but the assessment at that time was not on this island.

Personal strength and teamwork are both on this island. Missions are completed in batches according to the specified requirements, but in the end battles cannot be avoided.

For example, Bucky needs to find requirements to cross a fixed route within a specified time, and finally obtain certain mission items. After arriving at the end, he must hand in the mission items.

In the end, the examiner will give a score based on comprehensive considerations such as the number of mission items turned in, the time to reach the end point, and the combat performance. This score will be very detailed and strict.

In fact, the main difficulty lies in the route and obtaining certain mission items. According to the explanation, the mission items on the route are basically placed in more dangerous areas, so it is relatively difficult to obtain them.

Moreover, it is not only this kind of danger, but also attacks from soldiers of the same period. Although there are relatively detailed regulations to avoid some situations of death crisis, it is not 100% safe.

In short, everyone is a competitor here in the stage of personal strength competition.

In fact, the setting of the route has already examined a person's comprehensive knowledge, including finding water sources, how to find traces of certain mission items in a complex environment, and survival ability in the wild.

Of course, the most important thing among these is personal strength. If you are strong enough, you can basically ignore many of these things and you can get through it with hard power.

For the soldiers in the new barracks, this possibility is not high.

However, Bucky still found this place very easily, and he could take a rest here. This was not because of Bucky's rich knowledge reserve, but because of his overlord luck.

Basically, no special difficulties were encountered.

But here, Bucky's luck seemed to be running out. Bucky, who was resting on a thick branch, didn't notice at all. Just above him, a giant python that was almost as thick as Bucky also noticed his...

Being, swam down silently from the top of the branch.

Closer, closer!

In just a few seconds, the giant python swam above Bucky. It wrapped its body around the branches, raised its huge head high, opened its ferocious mouth, and a snake almost looked like an arm.

It jumped in it, and then swallowed Bucky like lightning.

Bucky, who was lying on a branch, stood upside down. He sensed a very dangerous aura. The soon-to-be-awakened power of knowledge made Bucky aware of the source of the danger. Without even thinking about it, the upper half of his body suddenly left the lower half.

He moved across the distance of several meters abruptly.

Bucky turned around and saw a thick giant python with a huge mouth passing by him.

Bucky was so scared that he wasn't scared to death.

Without thinking too much, he quickly slid down the branch, trying to escape from the giant python whose length was far beyond his imagination. The giant python was actually very confused, and never expected that the attack it was determined to win would actually fall.

Out of the air, it was of course not willing to let its prey escape. Different from the slow swimming close to the prey just now, the giant python now showed its true speed.

The giant python, which was more than ten meters long, swam down from the tree at an extremely fast speed and chased Bucky.

"Asshole, we have no grievances, why do you have to chase me?" Bucky was almost frightened and cried.

He had been going smoothly since arriving on the island, but who would have expected that he would suddenly encounter such a terrifying side. Unfortunately, the giant python couldn't understand Bucky's complaints. Even if it understood it, it probably wouldn't want to let go of the prey it had just spotted.

What made Bucky even more desperate was that he found that his speed seemed to be no match for the giant python. Not only did he fail to distance himself, but he actually let the giant python chase him closer and closer.

A few meters behind him, the giant python's thick body suddenly bowed, like a spring, and suddenly popped forward. The speed was so fast that only a black shadow could be seen. The giant python had already arrived in front of Bucky, and a body seemed to be like

The steel whip swept towards Bucky, apparently wanting to wrap him up, squeeze Bucky to death using his best method, and then swallow him.

Whoosh!

Bucky's body split again and he dodged the python's attack again.

"You bastard, do you think Uncle Bucky is afraid of you?" Of course Bucky, who lost his weapon, looked very ugly when faced with such a behemoth, but after all, he was a member of One Piece's ship, which was many times bigger than even Neptune.

I've been through it a lot, but at this moment I just suddenly didn't react.

Now that Bucky's way was blocked, he had no other option to think of. He couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to fight.

Bucky doesn't like fighting, he only likes treasure hunting, but he's not afraid of fighting.

Although there was no spear, even with bare hands, Bucky felt that he was not afraid of a snake at all, even though this snake was a bit bigger.

The giant python missed a hit and immediately curled up, looking down at Bucky with its thick upper body. There was no emotion at all in its cold vertical pupils. It opened its ferocious mouth and bit Bucky again.

come over.

Bucky did not retreat this time. In fact, he was not as fast as others in this dense forest, so he had to face him head-on.

When the ferocious maw bit him, Bucky's entire body was separated from his feet from the ankles up, and he flew into the air, dodging the python's attack again.

It wasn't just as simple as dodging. After Bucky dodged, he controlled his body to land exactly under the snake's head. His legs tightly wrapped around the giant python, and a pair of fists struck down like raindrops.

.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

According to normal circumstances, let alone a giant python as thick as Bucky, even a giant python that is one or two times thicker, with Bucky's current strength, this fist can give it a blow

Smashed to pieces.

But Bucky finally found that his fists had become red and swollen, and he didn't even break a snake scale.

"Damn it, armed and domineering, are you kidding me, you bastard!"

After all, Bucky has extraordinary experience. Although this giant python only knows a little about armed color winding, it has already made his attacks unable to continue. Who are you kidding? After mastering armed color domineering, his attacks cannot break through the defense at all.

Bucky felt like he was about to break through!

This island was actually used as a place for their assessment. Isn't this a joke on their lives? Don't talk about yourself, even if others encounter this giant python, it is basically impossible to defeat it.

The pair of feet that were still on the ground ran quickly in the opposite direction, and Bucky's body directly left the giant python and flew directly up, chasing the running feet.

"What kind of bullshit assessment is this? This is murder."

…

…

"Well, boy Allen, aren't you going to save this red-nosed kid? The giant python that has mastered the armed domineering power is far beyond what these recruit camp soldiers can fight against, right?"

"It's okay, Bucky won't have problems so easily. Although this giant python is one of the bosses I block in this area, if he observes carefully for a while, he will find that this giant python is not difficult to deal with.

Its armed color haki has not yet been completely mastered, and it does not work well when used. If Bucky had observed more carefully just now, he would have found that his attack actually worked. If he did not panic, this snake would be a snake.

It’s a dead snake.” Allen said.

In front of Allen, there are screens. There are different pictures on the screen. There are different figures of soldiers in each change of appearance. These pictures are from various phone bugs on the island.

There is actually a certain degree of danger in the assessment of personal strength, but the danger is not too great. At most, it is an animal like a giant python that has just mastered the domineering power of weapons.

This is just an appetizer. The subsequent group collaboration is the real feast. If you are not careful, there may even be casualties.

"You're a kid, you can always come up with some weird moves, and you can actually convince that old stubborn Zefa." Garp shook his head, not knowing what to say, "I hope these moves of yours will be useful."

Allen said: "Of course it's useful. We can't always deal with pirates in every graduation assessment. Although those carefully selected pirates can be used as opponents, they actually do not pose a threat to these soldiers in essence. On the contrary, they are not as good as my arrangements."

Well, at least these animals are not afraid of fighting."

However, the work is done, and Garp won't say much. In fact, he feels that this assessment will be more effective than the previous one, except for a little more tossing and wasting more manpower and material resources.

What's more, he will go back to Donghai to see his grandson soon, so there is no point in worrying about these things.

"Anyway, I'll leave my affairs in the new world to you. I can't wait to see my eldest grandson, hahahaha."

Allen's mouth twitched. Ever since he had his grandson, Garp's smile has never stopped.

But Allen knows the trajectory of things in the future. If nothing unexpected happens, Luffy will still dream of becoming a pirate king in the future, so old man Garp will cry in the future.

"That guy Dorag actually had a son without saying anything and didn't notify me to drink his wedding wine. It's really not loyal." Allen complained casually, "But old man Garp, when are you leaving?

Just tell me and I'll give Luffy some toys."
