...

The east blue sea is the weakest sea amongst the other seas, shrouded in mystery and adventure. It is a beautiful scenery, sorrounded in sakura trees in abundance. An orgasm for the eyes, simply.

Somewhere in the east blue sea, a high ranking officer sat in chair vacillating in calmness. He relaxed as he pondered over the calmness in the still air. There hadn't been a pirate that could threaten his peace of mind in a long time. He casually sniffed in the rosy smell in the air enjoying his seat.

"What a great time to be alive," the man sighed

....

..

.

*Knock* *knock*

...

.

"Sir!, a person would like a to meet you", a young officer entered disturbing Ken's tranquility

.....

.

"Uhhh... Fine, let him in" ken reacted in annoyance.

..

.

I entered to see a huge man rest his arm on the table as he casually scratched the side of his head.

Drey unsure how to respond, spoke honestly and friendly to the marine officer in sight "Sir, I would like to be a marine, if you'd let me"

"This is the fastest way for me to gain strength. If I can gain fame as a marine officer I might be able to train under someone like Garp or Sengoku", Drey contemplated

Off course, Drey had already confirmed the existance Sengoku and Garp as soon as he arrived at the marine base by asking a fellow officer "Who is the current Fleet admiral?"

He was relieved to know he was reincarnated into the time of Luffy and his crew. He felt elated even. This meant his knowledge of the One piece world was not useless. He could use it to his benefits. Or even manipulate some events.

...

.

"oooommmp", Ken sighed while looking at Drey's eyes fillled with purpose.

"Why should I let you join the marines?, Ken frankly asked Drey, seeing no personal gain or benefit.

.

.

Drey, knew this was a test of his confidence and faith. There was no place for a coward in the marines. Marines were a symbol of hope and righteousness in people's eyes, and they needed power to keep that good-image up.

"As a kid, I always looked up to the marines in admiration, I would be delighted if you gave me a chance to be one. I confidently believe it is my calling" Drey lied through his teeth with no hesitation and as if it was his second nature.

Ken, immediately gave up on trying to combat the young man's feelings. He had seen too many with the same ambition.

Ken thought the easiest method to break the young man's confidence was to put him the hellish training of the marines.

He didn't wanna see another marine meet his doom. Ken felt saddened over his fellow marines death so he'd been purposefully rejecting wannabe marines for their own safety.

"Tch"

.

FINE!, BE READY AT 4 AM TOMMORROW!!

Drey casually walked out the wooden door feeling over over the moon at the outcome.

"F*ckkk yhhhh", Drey exhaled a breath shrouded in elation.

--Training begins---

12 hours had passed and the responder snail woke all the marine trainees.

'Duuuu'

'Duuuu'

It's 5 A.M... It' 5 A.M.. It's 5 A.M.

The robotic voice woke up every trainee with maximum effeciency.

All the marines lined up, uniformly, waiting for the instructor.

Not surprising to any, Ken appeared to train them personally.

"We'll be doing physical training..Now I want everyone of yall to run till your legs give" Ken looking for any marine that stands out.

One by one, everyone present started jogging, although confised when to stop.

Drey expected no less, he was ready to break a leg to achieve strength.

....hours later..

Most marines collapsed on the floor simultaneously falling asleep.

Drey, however, still had the motivation to jog. He'd been running non-stop for a couple of hours. He took small breaks in between the runs to catch his breath, but out of all the present trainees he was the only one standing.

F*ck I can't even feel my legs, my tibia hurts, Drey sighed in pain.

Ken saw this and was impressed by Drey's ambition.

"Atleast we got one soldier amonst these ants."

Drey hungered for power, although he knew it would be a while when he starts learning about haki, he thought he could atleast in the meanwhile train his body.
