One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 36 Cruel Training

As the fog gradually dissipated, Luo Xia was able to see the figures of the two people opposite him.

Rorschach casually slung the knife over his shoulder and swaggered up to Gion and Smoker.

As soon as Luo Xia arrived in front of Gion, he couldn't help but complain, "Hey, Gion-nee, really, this was the first time I used this move, and you actually blocked it?"

"Bang!" Gion punched Rorschach squarely on the head.

"You idiot Rorschach, do you know that when you just hit Smoker, he was going to get hurt? Do you want to kill Smoker or take him on as a test?"

Rorschach shrugged. "I knew you guys would stop me, that's why I made that move. Otherwise, do you think I would have dared?"

As Rorschach spoke, he walked around the garden and came to Smoker, smiling and extending his hand, "Get up, don't sit!"

"I don't want to get scolded by that purple-haired old turtle!" Of course, Luo Xia would never dare to say this out loud.

Smoker gave a bitter smile and reached out to place Rorschach's hand in his.

"You've made insane progress in the past month!"

Just then, a group of people ran over from a distance. They were none other than the trainees from the training camp, along with Zefa.

Especially Tina, the way she ran made Rorschach dizzy.

Tina ran up to Smoker with a grin, "You actually got defeated one day? I never thought it would be Rorschach!"

"It's really hard to believe that you've become so strong in just one month, Rorschach!"

"That's incredible!"

Tina's eyes sparkled, clearly showing great interest in how Rorschach had become so strong in just one month.

The three had just finished speaking when they turned around and found Zephyr, who was wearing sunglasses, standing in front of them.

Zefa took off his sunglasses and looked Luo Xia up and down curiously before slowly saying, "This one's training looks pretty tough, doesn't it?"

"Fortunately, it's still within my acceptable range!"

When did you learn Armament Haki?

"I learned it by sheer coincidence after studying it for eight days!"

"Get out!"

"okay!"

Zephyr and Rorschach chatted as if no one else was around, their conversation sounding like that of friends.

This made Tina feel unbalanced.

"Hmph, Professor Zephyr, you're only fierce to Tina, why are you so gentle with Rorschach?"

"Tina...Tina refuses to accept this!"

Zephyr wasn't angry; instead, he watched Tina with great interest. When Tina was about to give up, Zephyr finally said, "Ziyuan, why don't you tell us about Rorschach's training over the past month?"

"Okay, by the way, any students who want to train with me are welcome to do so too!"

Gion's cute yet sexy speech immediately attracted most of the male students present.

Several bolder male students even wanted to sign up directly.

"Brother Luo Xia, come here!" Zhiyuan beckoned, gesturing for Luo Xia to come over first.

Rorschach didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to sit down next to Gion.

He's exhausted right now, and he doesn't want to stand with Gion.

"Rorschach's training is actually quite simple!"

"Every morning, I practice Armament Haki for two hours first."

"Of course, if you dare to lose focus in the middle, my whip won't be blind!"

"After that, it's about swinging the sword 10,000 times every day."

“He’s been swinging his sword faster and faster lately, so I added another task.”

"If you fight me, of course you'll only go so far as to touch me!"

"By the way, if you don't do a single thing well in this training, or if you're too slow in swinging your sword, my whip will really leave you covered in blood!"

After Gion said these words, some students who wanted Gion to accept them immediately wilted.

Almost all the trainees had the image of Luo Xia being beaten flash through their minds, and the thought of it made them shudder.

Looking around, Gion discovered that some people were still unwilling to give up.

Since that's the case, I can only make you give up completely.

Gion kicked Rorschach with his foot.

"What? I haven't rested enough yet!"

"That sword strike just now was very tiring!"

Zhiyuan glared at Luo Xia, "Don't I know you? Stand up right now!"

"Okay, okay!"

Luo Xia stood up and looked at Zhiyuan with a puzzled expression. He remembered that this woman was just talking about training. How did she bring me into this?

However, under Luo Xia's gaze, Zhiyuan slowly spoke, "Brother Luo Xia, take off your shirt!"

"what?"

Rorschach thought he had misheard and even picked at his ear.

"I said take off your shirt!"

Seeing that Gion insisted, Rorschach reluctantly agreed, "Fine, fine, I won't be responsible if you scare them!"

Under everyone's gaze, Luo Xia suddenly took off his black shirt with a blue dragon pattern.

The scene fell silent as soon as the masks were removed, and some timid trainees couldn't bear it and covered their eyes.

With a slight smile, Zhiyuan pointed to Luo Xia's body and said calmly, "This is Luo Xia's achievement over the past month."

"Simply put, it's a scar!"

Yes, scars. Rorschach's body was covered with countless scars, all of them individual lines, clearly marks from being whipped.

“You may call me cruel, but this is the choice Rorschach made himself!”

"Rorschach said that you can't get by in this world without strength."

"Of course, these marks from the whipping are also a symbol of honor."

Luo Xia secretly grimaced. This was hardly a symbol of honor; all that stuff almost killed him with pain.

"Hey, Gion-nee, can I put this on now?"

"So what if he has scars? Don't scare him, really!"

Luo Xia took the shirt and quickly put it on.

At this point, Smoker asked, "Were these all from being whipped?"

Luo Xia thought for a moment and said, "It was my request, but Sister Zhiyuan is within my means."

"Furthermore, I don't recommend that you undergo the same training as this female demon; it's just too cruel!"

"There's a reason why I let her train me like this; otherwise, who would be beaten like that by her?"

And the longer he trained, the stronger Rorschach felt his body becoming.

It was at this moment that Smoker realized the gap between him and Rorschach was widening.

Based on his fearless will alone, he is stronger than Smoker, although Smoker is not one to be afraid of death.

Soon, Rorschach and Gion bid farewell to the training camp.

On the way, Luo Xia laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of discouraging them?"

"I have the ability to freeze, this little injury is nothing to me, and you're still bringing it up!"

"What a stupid woman!" Luo Xia sneered.

Before he could even laugh out loud, a heavy iron fist slammed him into the ground.

Fortunately, Gion didn't use Haki, otherwise Rorschach wouldn't have been able to draw it.

"Please show some respect to your sister Gion!"

"Otherwise you'll be in big trouble!"
