Taking a leave

Following his initial attempt, Roja proceeded to put his strength to the test. He only came to a halt after gaining control of his newfound strength. However, the whole courtyard was in disarray at the time. It seemed as though a wave of flame rushed over the landscape.

During his testing, Roja discovered that he had the option of releasing the flame or just striking with his sword as usual. As a result, he has complete control over the accumulation of fire damage.

Second, Roja might extinguish the flame with a single thought, which would be the most effective method. As a result, he has complete control over the presence of the flame.

Furthermore, this power may be classed with the flame devil fruit; however, although Roja is now resistant to fire, she is not as natural as the devil fruit users who can immediately transform into flames, which is why she is not as effective.

During this time, Roja continued to play with the sword and put his might to the test, Garp eventually woke up.

"Can you tell me what this scent is?"

The nose of Garp, who was partly sleeping, twitched a couple of times. He then proceeded to the courtyard, where he saw Roja exercising with the sword.

Roja the brat has awoken, to say the least.

This idea came into Garp's head all of a sudden. All of Garp's slumber vanished in the blink of an eye and no trace could be found of it. With his eyes and mouth wide open as he stares at the scorched courtyard, he says nothing.

This is what it looks like...

What exactly is going on?

Garp just stood there staring for a few seconds.

"ROOOOO... JAAAAAAA!!!"

Chickens and dogs were nearly scared to death as the boom echoed throughout the Marineford. Even the fleet admiral of the Marine Corps was alerted to the situation. Despite the fact that he couldn't understand what Garp was saying.

His thoughts were interrupted as Blackline appeared over his head. He then shook his head, indicating that he was too indolent to care.

…

Garp's voice shook the world to its foundations.

Fortunately, there was nothing outdoors other than a few pieces of debris. Roja didn't say anything since she knew Garp didn't care about the courtyard, and Garp didn't care about the courtyard either, so he quickly calmed down.

Roja and Garp began repairing the courtyard, and even when they were done, there was still a faint scent of burning that could be detected from time to time.

Garp locked his gaze on Roja as they stood in the courtyard, and Roja cracked a hahaha grin in response.

"You brat, for the next month, I will personally look after your training needs." However, my instruction is extremely rigorous, and if you dare to be sluggish, you will be punished. Be prepared to be adored by the iron fist of this old guy, because I will never show mercy."

Garp fixed his gaze only on Roja. This increase in velocity will immediately frighten the bravest of mankind.

Roja, on the other hand, was not the least bit concerned. Garp may seem severe and all, but this will not cause Roja to withdraw; rather, it will serve to encourage him even more.

"Let's get this party started."

Roja responded in a straightforward manner, but he was demonstrating a tremendous desire, a drive to get stronger.

Garp could plainly sense the force of this determination. It took him by surprise, but he was mainly relieved, since he had been concerned that Roja lacked battling spirit. Fortunately, it now seems that his concerns were unfounded.

…

At the same time, the Marineford camp was being built.

Roja failed to appear to the training session, where all of the recruits were now putting their skills to the test.

During a brief intermission, people who had learned of his absence were conversing with one another.

"After just a month of training, he's already taking a leave of absence."

"He is at the bottom of the heap when compared to anybody else in this camp, yet he is unwilling to go. This individual has most likely given up hope."

What kind of person, the nephew of Vice Admiral Garp, could do such a thing?

One by one, the recruits expressed their displeasure with disdain on their faces.

and it was at this point that someone screamed

"Silence is required."

"So you guys may now speak about Vice-admiral Garp behind his back?" remarked a tall beauty among the new recruits, who approached you from the direction of the noises.

"We... " says the group.

"Please Hina, it is our responsibility, so please do not inform the instructor," someone pleaded to the female recruit.

Apparently, this gorgeous woman is extremely powerful and has the strength of a graduate, despite the fact that she has not yet graduated, and she has previously joined up with Roja.

Tina sniffed and remarked, "Even if Roja's performance isn't very impressive, he is still the nephew of our vice-admiral Garp." As a result, if you dare to say it again, you will see."

"Yes, yes..." says the speaker.

Despite the fact that many in the audience did not agree, they still admired Garp and did not want to be the ones to disagree with Hina's remarks.

Hina, on the other hand, is very powerful. Her performance is among the best among the candidates, and in this world, strength is more important than position.

Hina saw that they were in agreement. She grumbled and proceeded with her exercise, prompting the others to return to their training sessions as well.
