One Piece : From Slave to Fleet Admiral

Night fell, and Jake lay in bed.

Having grown accustomed to the hard bunk in his dilapidated dormitory and the ever-present musty smell of wood, he found himself somewhat uncomfortable in this comparatively luxurious soft bed.

His stomach felt slightly bloated—tonight, he, Kizaru and Monet had eaten a lot.

Kizaru's cooking skills were unexpectedly good.

Finding himself unable to sleep, Jake closed his eyes slightly and checked his current stats.

"Name: Jake Lawrence"

"Age: 16"

"Doriki: 513 (From this moment onward, you have stepped into the so-called superhuman realm. All your physical activities will no longer fit within the concept of an ordinary human.)"

"Holy Light: 25 (The power of light shines so brightly, yet you must still maintain purity in your heart.)"

"Passive Ability 1: Holy Light Infusion LV2 (421/1000), Passive Ability 2: Holy Light Retribution LV2 (320/1000)"

"Active Ability 1: Judgment Hammer Strike LV2 (445/1000), Active Ability 2: Healing Prayer LV2 (798/1000)"

"Active Ability Three: Purification (MAX, special skill, obtained at full level)..."

"Armament Haki LV1 (98/100), Observation Haki LV1 (72/100)"

"Basic Swordsmanship LV2 (142/1000). Upon reaching 1000 points, will gain the ability to cut through steel, entering the Steel-Cutting Realm."

"Right-Angle Swordsmanship LV2 (107/100). Upon reaching 1000 points, will be able to release multiple flying slash attacks simultaneously."

"Conqueror's Haki LV1 (21/100). Upon reaching 100 points, will significantly increase intimidation power."

"Soru LV1 (28/100). Upon reaching 100 points, will greatly improve movement speed and reduce strain on leg muscles."

"Shigan LV1 (25/100). Upon reaching 100 points, will enhance finger hardness and attack speed, while unlocking Flying Shigan."

"Geppo LV1 (20/100). Upon reaching 100 points, will increase air time per step and reduce stamina consumption."

"Kami-e LV1 (7/100). Upon reaching 100 points, will unlock body deformation, allowing the body to dodge attacks like clay."

"Rankyaku LV1 (24/100). Upon reaching 100 points, slash speed, range, and power will all improve, while unlocking Rankyaku: Gaichou."

"Tekkai LV1 (75/100). Upon reaching 100 points, will unlock Tekkai: Utsugi!"

"Rokushiki Secret: Life Return LV1 (12/100). Upon reaching 100 points, will unlock Kami-e: Bushin."

The information panel in his mind was extensive, but it was all a reflection of his gradual growth in strength.

After reviewing everything, Jake wore a satisfied expression.

Although his current doriki hadn't yet reached Kalifa's original 630, when it came to overall combat ability, he was confident he could defeat her in a direct confrontation.

However, looking at the Tekkai skill in his panel, Jake felt somewhat conflicted.

Because he had mastered Armament Haki, his progress with Tekkai—a skill inherently similar to Armament Haki—had been rapid.

Yet remembering how many Marines had fallen because of this skill always left him uneasy.

Forget it, he decided to use this skill sparingly in future battles.

After examining his current stats, Jake found himself even more awake.

He got up and went downstairs to continue training.

Passing Monet's room, Jake sensed the continuous cold aura emanating from within through his Observation Haki.

Monet wasn't resting either—she was quietly training.

Seeing this, Jake sighed inwardly before carefully tiptoeing downstairs to avoid disturbing Monet's practice.

*****

The days passed peacefully yet fulfillingly and soon it was time for the Elite Training Camp's official start.

Today, Jake and Monet changed into the formal uniforms provided by Marine Headquarters.

Zephyr was someone who placed great importance on punctuality and appearance, especially during important occasions.

Therefore, Monet and Jake had deliberately risen early and arrived at the training ground in advance, waiting for Zephyr's.

However, even though the two had arrived an hour earlier than the scheduled time, Zephyr was already standing on the wooden platform that had been set up.

Upon seeing Jake and Monet, Zephyr gave a slight nod, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his lips.

He was pleased with their attire and punctuality.

Jake stepped forward and said to Zephyr.

"Zephyr-sensei, today's treatment hasn't started yet. Since there aren't many people around now, let's finish today's session first."

Hearing this, Zephyr glanced at the time and noticed there were still about fifty minutes before the event began.

He nodded, his tense body relaxing slightly, then replied with a smile.

"Let's go with your suggestion, Jake. I don't want to start panting suddenly during my lecture—that would be far too embarrassing. By the way, do you two know who your fellow trainees will be in this training camp?"

As Jake continued the treatment, he recalled the documents Kizaru had previously handed them and replied.

"From what Borsalino-san mentioned, this batch seems to include a Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Devil Fruit user, as well as a few of your own disciples, Zephyr-sensei. I heard they're all quite powerful Devil Fruit users."

Zephyr chuckled before addressing Jake and Monet.

"Powerful? Not exactly. I haven't met that Smoke brat yet, so I can't gauge his strength. But I know my own students well enough. Ain and Binz may be Devil Fruit users, but their proficiency in both Haki types and physical combat is still lacking. At least against you, Jake, I'd bet they wouldn't last ten minutes."

"Let me be blunt—you're likely the strongest among this elite batch Jake. As for Monet, she's around the same level as my two students. But being a Logia user, as long as you can avoid Ain's abilities, you'd still hold an absolute advantage."

Before Jake or Monet could respond, a slightly exasperated voice called out from a distance.

"Zephyr-sensei, you're really playing favorites! Saying things like that about Ain and me—it's downright heartbreaking!"

The speaker stood roughly two and a half meters tall, wearing a bright grin.

Fresh greenery sprouted in his wake—no doubt, this was the Grow-Grow Fruit user, Binz.

Beside him was a beautiful woman with long blue hair, offering a graceful smile and a slight nod in their direction.

Zephyr grinned at the newcomers.

"You two are cutting it a bit late, aren't you?"

"Sensei, the opening ceremony isn't for another fifty minutes!"
