Test 2

"Soru"

*Swish*

Gan turned into a blur as he sprinted around the training ground at ground shaking speed. The other marines were in shock by this site, everywhere Gan pass was left with a cracked ground and wild winds, Z was the only one that seemed surprised by this.

*Swish* *Beep*

"Time" shouting Z as Gan passed the finishing line.

A marine in the middle of the training where the machines were, looked at a screen with various numbers on it, he then looked over to Z, Garp, and Sengoku's direction and shouted in reply.

"2 seconds per mile and 7200 miles per hour Sir, he ran one second over the speed of sound" the marine shouted, grabbing the attention of the other marines.

"What! One second" the other marines finally couldn't restrain themselves and broke out into discussion.

"What a monster, are you guys sure he's 10 years old?" one marine shouted.

"I saw it with my own eyes, but I still can't believe it"

"Psssst, why are they surprised by such a slow speed, I can go faster" Gion pouting seeing the reaction of the marines from Gan's speed.

"But Gion, you're a vice Admiral while he is only a trainee, and a 10 year one at that. But he's still not better than my Gion" replied Tokikake.

"Who's your Gion you…"

"Bwahahaha, Sengoku, I told you he has that potential, he's my Grandson after all." Garp's loud voice interrupted everyone's discussion.

"Alright Garp, I get it, he's your grandson, it's time to move on to the next test" Sengoku said looking over to Z and Gan who were having a conversation.

"The next test is gonna test your punching power, the machine has five levels, from Admiral level power at level 5, Vice Admiral at 4, Rear Admiral at 3, Captain at 2 and so on."

"You have to punch the machine in the center, which absorbs the hit and then based on the amount of force absorbed it will calculate and place you in the appropriate level" Z said to Gan as Sengoku signaled him to start the test.

"No problem teacher, I didn't drop a sweat on the last test" Gan replied with a smile walking over to the center of the training ground.

"Wait, I can use Haki right?" Gan asked out loud, to which Z causally nodded in confirmation. While Z was unsurprised about this, that didn't mean others weren't.

This time it was Kuzan who was shocked, his sleeping eyes widening hoping to confirm what he had just heard.

"Wait, he can use Armament Haki, that wasn't on his file" stated Kuzan looking over to Garp and Sengoku.

"Garp was the one that asked to keep it off, saying that his Armament isn't good enough" Sengoku said, quickly shifting the blame to Garp.

"Bwhahaha, stop stressing about these small stuff Aokiji" Garp said with his usual grin while digging his nose casually.

"I should have known" Kuzan said with a tired sigh.

"So he knows Haki too" The surrounding marines were shocked by Gan once again.

"And according to Admiral Kuzan he has Observation Haki too, what a monster" a Rear Admiral said with a nervous expression.

It should be known that only Vice Admiral level powerhouses would usually have both Observation and Armament Haki, and most Rear Admirals would have one, while a rare few might have both. So it is not surprising that everyone was surprised by this.

"Are you ready Gan?" Z's question quickly regained everyone's attention.

"Yes Teacher" Gan answered, cocking his hands back into a punching form.

*Zing*

Gan's fist suddenly turned black and his hands turned into a blur as he punched towards the machine.

*Smash*

As Gan's fist connected with the machine, the ground surrounding them started to shake.

Dust rose into the air covering the eyesight of many, everyone was silent waiting for the result to appear on the machine. As the dust cleared everyone's eyesight laid on the machine that was counting up from level 1 to 2 and then it stopped.

"Wow, level three, so he basically has Rear Admiral level strength at 10 years old" Momonga exclaimed out loud while twirling his mustache breaking the silence.

"Maybe only monsters like Big Mom, and Kaido had more strength when they were younger" Tusru said

"He basically has the strength of a young Giant, as expected of Garp's Grandson" Kuzan added weirdly unsurprised by Gan's feats at this point.

"HaHaHa, Good, very good, the marines might finally be able to produce an Emperor level powerhouse" Sengoku laughed out loud.

Even the great staff officer Tsuru had a small smile on her face, she fully understood what having a figure that can fight equal to one of the four Emperors meant for the Marines. Right now the Seas are in a state of balance with the four Emperors, seven Warlords of the seas and the Marines.

"Silence" Sengoku's voice riverated throughout the training ground.

"Give him the next test Z" Sengoku said as he turned to Z.

"This next and last test on this round will be very simple, you're gonna go into the 'evasive chamber' which shoots out rubber bullets, the longer you last the faster it shoots at you" Z turned to Gan while pointing at a large circular transparent machine that resembled an average one story house except that it was made of a kind of transparent iron looking glass.

It was about 10 feet in length, and 15 feet in width. It had numerous holes in its walls, seeing this Gan simply nodded at Z and entered the machine releasing his Observation Haki fully to sense his surroundings.

"How long do you think he's gonna last?" asked a random marine.

I don't know what to expect to be honest" another marine answered

"Well he has Rear Admiral Level strength and most Real Admirals last about two minutes at most, even Vice admirals might only last three minutes unless they are monsters like Garp" a Rear Admiral said in an informative tone after overhearing the marines earlier question.

While the other marines were having their own little discussion while waiting on Gan to start, Garp's group were also having their own discussion.

"What do you think Garp?" asked Sengoku with a calm expression

"Think what?" Replied Garp with his finger stuck in his nose.

Seeing this Sengoku had a tick formed on his forehead, but he quickly calmed down.

"I mean, how long do you think he'll last?" Sengoku rephrased.

I don't know, but I remember he once told me that he Awakened his Observation Haki around the age of 4 or 5" Garp replied nonchalantly.

Strangely none of them except Kuzan were shocked, and seeing their nonchalance at Garp's statement Kuzan quickly hid his expression. He was really tired of randomly finding out about

Gan's feat, and as someone who doesn't like troublesome things, he's starting to think that Gan might not be fit to be under him.

But Kuzan's reaction isn't really that surprising when you think about it. If the other marines heard what Garp said their reaction would definitely be worse than Kuzan's.

Everyone's attention quickly shifted back to Gan in the machine as they heard a robotic voice counting down.

"…4, 3, 2, 1 "

*Beep*
