Chapter 31

"Here, after filling it out, give it to me." A Navy officer in charge of the registration didn't even look up and handed Ron a form, asking him to go aside and fill it out.

Ron took it, glanced at it, and found that it was just some simple questions—name, origin, identity, and such. Ron thought about the name for a while but decided to use his own. After a bit of deliberation, he added a surname: 'Let's call it Patino Yunye.'

The reason for using this surname was because Ron remembered a scene from his past involving a foreign girl with fair skin and long legs named Patino. In his previous life, Ron didn't have many memories, the only thing he remembered was a fire that spread throughout the country. Therefore, the origin of the name wasn't clear. As long as it's not linked to any serious criminal record, Ron thought, identity wouldn't be a big problem. Pirates can turn over a new leaf and join the Navy.

After simply filling it out, Ron handed it over to the Navy officer in charge of the registration. The officer glanced at it briefly and then waved his hand, "Okay, you can go over there and wait. You will be tested directly later. If you pass, you will be the reserve Navy on the island."

Ron nodded and walked directly to the test site. Sweeping his perception, he could see that the place was full of people preparing for the test. The test itself was very simple, just measuring physical fitness, jumping, speed, and strength—all linked to physical fitness. As long as you met two or more standards, you passed the test.

The speed of the test was very fast, and it was Ron's turn soon. Ron's physical fitness, how should I put it, in two words, is outstanding! At this stage, when he didn't use any special techniques, his physical fitness was probably not as good as a clone soldier from Germa 66. The reason why he could kill clones like chopping melons and vegetables before was due to his strong swordsmanship, being a skilled swordsman who could slash effectively. Ordinary people couldn't easily avoid it.

For the people in front of him who were also testing, Ron felt that some of them were stronger than him. The burly young man he saw at the door before was definitely stronger than Ron in terms of physical fitness. However, in a fight, Ron could end him with a single blow. Ron didn't perform too much but showed better speed and jumping ability, making him the strongest among the group. This caused others to exclaim repeatedly:

"Damn it, look at that person's speed, it's ridiculously fast!"

"He's a full lap ahead of others!"

"And his jumping ability is terrifying, more than twice as high as others!"

"This man's joining the Navy is a sure thing!"

"So strong! And so young!"

Ron's performance attracted some attention, mainly because he looked only in his teens. This drew more attention. In terms of follow-up strength and physical fitness, Ron's performance was only average. Taken together, Ron was still one of the top-notch candidates. This kind of performance naturally caught the eye of the Navy in the branch, and they couldn't help but be surprised—he was a good seed.

On the other side, the burly young man who greeted Ron outside also appeared. With his burly body, he directly attracted the attention of many people, showing looks of surprise. But when they saw his fierce face, they were stunned for a moment, and a thought suddenly appeared in their hearts: 'Where did this gang boss come from?'

Ron also noticed him. Before that, he had observed that this person's physique was much stronger than others, as seen from his muscular upper body. He should be the kind of person with extraordinary talents. Such people are not uncommon in the pirate world. Some people are born with a sense of arrogance, and some can slaughter giants at the age of five. Where are you going to reason?

"Is it my turn?" The young man grinned and stood in front of a machine. This machine was used to test strength.

"Drink!" The young man let out a loud shout, the muscles in his right arm knotted, quickly swelled, and the veins bulged, looking very hideous and terrifying. He threw a punch, causing the wind to howl. With a bang, the young man hit the machine, and the value on the machine started to jump, finally stopping at 120!

Suddenly, there was an uproar all around:

"Am I seeing things? 120? I'm only at 70, and someone can hit 120?"

"70 is not bad for you, you're considered qualified. I'm only at 50 and didn't even pass."

"Damn, what's with these people? There was a fast one before, and now there's a super strong one. Do they want us ordinary people to live?"

The numerical value of the young man's punch shocked many people. 120 was already the highest among all the people present, more than twenty points higher than the second place! Ron also nodded slightly, acknowledging the young man's unique physique. Judging by his punching movements, it was obvious he hadn't received professional training. For him to strike with such strength, it could only be said that he was extremely talented.

Even the nearby Navy soldiers were surprised. Some of them couldn't hit that value!

"Very good!" A naval officer with a cloak behind him nodded.

"Indeed, there are two good seedlings this time. Let me see, what are their names?" Another Navy officer nodded, looking at the book in his hand. "Oh? One is Patino Ron, the other is Renlier, one from Donzik Island, and the other from Flywheel Island."

"They are both good seedlings. Work hard and strive to reach the standard for going to the training camp at the headquarters!" Another naval officer said with a smile, "300 power, I wonder how many people can achieve it this time?"

Power value is a standard for testing strength in the Navy. An ordinary soldier's power value is 10, and if it exceeds 500, he is considered a superman. At least you need to be a second lieutenant to have this value. However, this algorithm hasn't been widely spread, mainly because there are such things as Devil Fruits in this world. The abilities of some Devil Fruits simply cannot be measured by power value. It is more used for testing strength and as a reference.

There is a saying in the Navy: if your power value exceeds 500, then you are eligible to be called an admiral with a cloak behind you! Of course, this is just a rough metaphor. A real Navy won't use power value as the sole criterion for combat strength. Combat is not based on the level of combat power, but many factors contribute to it.

Simply pave the way and speed up the pace later.
