Chapter 22: Marine HQ

"Robin, your fruit ability has tremendous potential. Before we reach headquarters, I'll teach you how to develop your fruit and a unique cultivation method to enhance your physical strength!" The warship's training room was now open.

Soldiers and examinees alike had access to the training room. Qin Ge and Robin found an empty corner, where Qin Ge gave him instructions.

Qin Ge had extensive knowledge of fruit development. He not only explained Robin's moves from the original work but also provided suggestions by combining his ideas.

As for improving physical strength, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique was a natural choice. Despite being a technique of the Secret Sect of Buddhism, it was not limited to men.

The abilities Qin Ge had acquired from the Prison of the Dead had the same level of comprehension as the originals.

Although the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique from other worlds was as challenging for Robin to understand as the Heavenly Book, Qin Ge patiently analyzed and explained it, enabling the genius to gradually grasp it. Robin then embarked on the first level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.

Being at sea, the warship served better food than the branch base, offering more abundant and nutritious meals. It was undoubtedly beneficial for Qin Ge.

At night, Qin Ge examined the soul energy absorbed by the Prison of the Dead. He was dissatisfied with the results because the amount of soul energy absorbed was significantly less than he had expected.

While sawtooth sharks were stronger than humans, their intelligence paled in comparison. Despite Qin Ge killing dozens of Sawtooth Sharks, the soul energy absorbed by the Prison of the Dead only amounted to ten points, equivalent to that of ten ordinary people.

Qin Ge was naturally dissatisfied with this situation. This small amount of energy wouldn't even suffice for a one-star extraction, let alone a higher-level one. To establish a foothold and pass the selection, more soul energy was necessary!

Using pirates as sacrifices would be the best approach, but encountering pirates and ensuring they were weaker than him posed a significant challenge.

"Perhaps I can try it this way!"

Contemplating the upcoming visit to headquarters, Qin Ge pondered for a while, gradually formulating a plan.

During the journey to the Red Line, Qin Ge cultivated on his own while guiding Robin. Time passed quickly, and nearly a month later, the warship crossed the West Ocean, arriving at the World Government's official port on the edge of the Red Earth Continent.

The Red Line stood as a magnificent landmark in the world of One Piece, rising high above the blue sea. Its cliffs reached thousands of feet, serving as a natural barrier that separated the Four Seas and the Grand Line.

Upon landing at the port, Qin Ge and the other examinees followed Momonga, ascending the long stone steps that led to the pinnacle of the world—the Red Line.

Although Qin Ge was eager to witness the sacred land of Mariejois and experience the atmosphere of the world's core power, Momonga showed no intention of staying.

After crossing the Red Line, they arrived at the port on the opposite side, boarding a newly prepared warship that would officially take them into the first half of the Grand Line.

"Look, that must be the Sabaody Archipelago."

I've read about it in books; it's considered the final stop in the first half of the Grand Line. They say a giant tree connects all the islands! While traversing the Grand Line, Qin Ge and Robin took a break and went up to the deck to observe the difference between the Grand Line and the West Ocean.

As the warship passed the Sabaody Archipelago on the surface, Robin excitedly pointed at the distant islands, where towering giant trees could be seen on each one.

Though these trees paled in comparison to O'Hara's All-Knowing Tree, they still presented an incredible sight and piqued the curiosity of the young girl.

"We've arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, which means we're almost there!" Qin Ge also focused on the outline of the islands in the distance.

The Marineford headquarters, located near the Sabaody Archipelago, was something Qin Ge had only known through the original work. Now, as he witnessed the power center of one of the world's largest organizations, anticipation welled up within him.

Less than an hour after passing the Sabaody Archipelago, the islands came into view. Towering, tall buildings surrounded by several peaks, adorned with marine insignias, became visible.

Qin Ge, Robin, and the other examinees from the West Ocean gazed eagerly as they approached the Navy's headquarters—Marineford.

Some were captivated and excited, while others felt nervous about the upcoming election. Ambition surged in the hearts of those who fantasized about becoming high-ranking navy personnel in the future.

Soon, the massive warship slowly approached Marineford's famous crescent harbor. Under Momonga's guidance, Qin Ge and the others disembarked and set foot in the port.

"Major General Momonga, thank you for your efforts. Are these children from the West Ocean?" At the port, a navy colonel greeted Momonga, respectfully saluting before turning his attention to Qin Ge and the other candidates.

Momonga nodded in agreement, exchanged jokes with the guards, and then walked to a nearby building, escorted by them.He had to report the mission to his superiors.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Colonel Buck, responsible for your well-being until the selection begins. I'll now take you to your accommodations and provide you with some important information." Colonel Buck addressed Qin Ge and the other West Ocean candidates with a warm smile.
