"Captain, all of us are just initial understanding," the other six said somewhat apologetically.
"Well, it's not bad. Some of you are already at the peak of entry level, and you can break through if you get a chance. Yes, it's worthy of my selection. Soldiers." Jack said very happily. These new recruits were selected by Jack himself six months ago, as the newly promoted captain, who had the right to choose new recruits.
"Many thanks, Captain, for your cultivation!" The seven people in front of Jack expressed their gratitude. They knew that if it weren't for Jack, it would have taken them much longer to even get in touch with Marine Rokushiki, which is typically only accessible to corporals and above. Without Jack, even if they had this talent, it wouldn't have been as useful.
Otherwise, with so many Marines, if Marine Rokushiki were common knowledge, it wouldn't be so rare.
"Well, you have followed me this year. It's impossible to practice without actual combat, so this Captain decided to hunt down a Great Pirate with a bounty of 10,000,000 Berries. Do you have the guts to go with this Captain? Of course, there is a chance we might not return, so you have to think carefully." Jack used Samsara Power to enhance his voice and shouted.
"Captain, go wherever you want, and we will follow!" The response from Jack's team was a sonorous and favorable voice.
"Well, it is worthy of being my soldiers. Then we will set out. If we succeed this time, a bright future awaits us!" Jack waved his hand grandly and led his seven men off.
Jack's goal this time was an Ability User with the fruit of the sword, known as "Sword of Death!" with a bounty of 13 million Berries. According to the news, this guy, with the title of Sword of Death, attacked a military port and stole a Devil Fruit. The Marine headquarters was furious and issued multiple arrest warrants.
As for why Jack was hunting this person, first, if he succeeded in killing the opponent, his military merits would instantly reach the rank of warrant officer or even ensign. This was obviously a tempting opportunity for Jack, allowing him to jump directly from the leader of the corps to a non-commissioned officer and become a lieutenant officer.
Second, the Devil Fruit. After this period of time, Jack discovered the Devil Fruit again. Another Heaven-defying ability is Swallow! Swallow other Devil Fruits to transform Samsara Power. If you don't transform Samsara Power, you can absorb the abilities within it, but the user can only use one ability.
Jack almost gave up on the latter. With a powerful Devil Fruit, the reincarnation fruit could be powerful. If it weren't for the legendary Devil Fruit, Jack would not absorb its power. The most lacking resource for Jack is Samsara Power. With enough Samsara Power, not only would the use of reincarnation fruit become more convenient, but mastering Marine Rokushiki would also become feasible.
With sufficient Samsara Power for tempering, Jack's body would be capable of reaching the level required to practice Marine Rokushiki without additional cultivation.
Moreover, the huge Samsara Power can be used in the fruit of reincarnation. The ability to guard against the sky, reincarnation is born, basically guarantees life, so Jack's need for Samsara Power is absolutely endless.
Of course, Jack could also extract Samsara Power, but he felt weak with less than 1,000 units of Samsara Power. Without Samsara Power, Jack couldn't use the power of reincarnation. Samsara Power is like fuel; without it, it can't function.
This is why Jack wanted to endure for half a year, to extract more Samsara Power. Now, Jack's physical fitness allowed him to extract about ten to twenty units of Samsara Power each day, which wasn't enough. So Jack focused on Devil Fruit.
After months of attention, Jack finally found the guy who possessed the Devil Fruit. Having waited so long, Jack would naturally not give up this opportunity. A bounty of 10,000,000 Berries? If things went awry, he could always escape. As for the people behind, sorry, Jack wasn't that great yet.
Jack had trained his team intensively over the past six months. If it weren't for Jack, they might have perished in a cannon fodder battle without knowing it.
And they all knew this but still hadn't stepped back because they had hope only by following Jack, so they were all committed.
One day later, Jack's team, aboard the Marine patrol ship, was sailing on the boundless sea.
The weather was fine, with clear skies as far as the eye could see. It was a beautiful day.
"Captain, we've been searching for a long time, but we still haven't found him. Is the information incorrect?" The Deputy Captain looked at Jack, who was sitting on the Imperial Tutor chair, and asked.
"Don't worry. If you can't find him, head to this location." Jack pointed to a spot on the nautical chart and said.
