One Piece – Thundergod Marine

Chapter 36 Device Part 1

Chapter 36 Device Part 1

The island where the Marine Headquarters is located in is a rare island on the Grand Line that follows the normal seasons.

In the winter, soldiers have to change their clothes into thick long-sleeved uniforms. When the patrol saw two majestic figures walking forward, they could not help standing up and saluting, with a look of worship in their eyes.

“Instructor Zephyr! Mr. Rowen!”

Rowen was just a recruit, and he didn’t even leave the recruit camp and he is also without any official title. But his strength was recognized by all the soldiers two months ago, he is the legendary existence that is following the footsteps of three Admirals!

In this world where the strong are respected, the salute is out of admiration and fear of the strong at this time.

With Zephyr here, Rowen didn’t dare to neglect his duties as he stopped and raised his hand in return.

In the past, when meeting patrols, he would do nothing more than raise his hand to say hello, but now Zephyr certainly would not allow him to ignore his discipline… Before he could get beaten up by Zephyr, Rowen already became very conscious and saluted back.

The two sides passed by, watching the two walk away, the patrol Commander said with a sigh of emotion in his voice: “Sometimes, you have to admit that the gap between people is really big. I think I have been a Marine for more than 20 years and now I am just a sergeant chief and Instructor Zephyr can’t even remember my name, and Rowen is still a recruit… huhh!”

“Why is that weird?”

A familiar veteran in the patrol jokes: “Who told you to pee your pants in fright when you first fought against Pirates! I heard that you relied on your family relationships to get in the Academy and Senior Officials didn’t treat you like this. And now you stand here comparing yourself to a genius like Rowen, you really have too much pride in you!”

“Hu… nonsense!”

The Commander flushed suddenly: “I was uncomfortable because I was at the sea, you know? It was because of seawater!”

After that, the other Soldiers began to speak. “Pirates are nothing!”, “I assisted Senior Officials and killed three of them by myself!” The air was filled with joy as all the soldiers began to boast about their accomplishments.

In this world of the strong, the happiness of ordinary people is limited to this. They don’t have too many ambitions, they only want to live a simple and better life.

But this is the type of happiness Rowen doesn’t want, and it’s the fundamental reason why he has been constantly pushing the limits to grow stronger.

A life of inaction is no different from poison to him!

He will either die or he will live his life brilliantly!

There is no third choice for him!

…

Following Zephyr, Rowen walked all the way to the back of the fortress and stopped in front of a tall building. Looking at the sign erected in front of the gate, he put his hand on the back of his head and asked strangely: “Mr. Zephyr, why are you bringing me to the Scientific Force Base?”

The white building in front of Rowen is the Marine Scientific Force Base in Headquarters…Scientific Force Base has several bases, in other words, several experimental bases, which are distributed in every corner of the Sea, and all of them are located in secret locations known to no one.

Except for Sengoku and the High-Level people of the World Government, no one knows the detailed location of these Scientific Bases. But this one located in the Marine Headquarters Marineford is undoubtedly the largest of the bases.

One must know that Kizaru, one of the three Admirals, has always lived here instead of having another residence in Headquarters like Aokiji or Akainu.

That incident was kept from Rowen for nearly three months, and the finished product was delivered after a week. Zephyr considered that it was time for Rowen to come and take a look at the finished product.

Hearing this, he explained: “I handed in your Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Method related information to the higher-ups. Vegapunk imitated and created a batch of devices that can be used for stimulating exercise, but the specific effects are open to questions. Fleet Admiral had asked you to come over to test it and give a suggestion before it is put into the army on a large scale.”

“Ohh???”

Rowen’s eyes suddenly widened and there was only one thought left in his head.

“Fuck!”

His Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Method is getting coveted and there is nothing for him to say as they had already made many devices. After all, everyone can see that Rowen is growing very fast and the main reason for that is the Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Method.

Since he dared to expose it in public on the Garp ship, he had expected them to see his methods, and he wanted to exchange it for some benefits.

But unexpectedly, this had already happened three months ago!!!

Zephyr actually handed in the information three months ago. Thinking about it now, it happened to be the time he took Riwen as a disciple.

Could it be that……

(*???)

Seeing Rowen’s increasingly speechless and resentful eyes, Zephyr gave a dry cough and blushed. He didn’t want to be treated as an unscrupulous person who profited from his disciples.

He immediately explained: “Relax, the benefits you will gain from this are indispensable! From now on, you will negotiate with the two old foxes, Sengoku and Tsuru, and I will not dare to come forward and don’t worry, you won’t be treated badly.”

This is justified.

Everyone involved in this is not guilty!

Even considering Rowen as their own, Sengoku and Tsuru would be more willing to give Rowen some Military Merits for Marines.

Now although Zephyr has concealed the advance report, but with his words, he won’t at least suffer his disciple’s untrusting gaze!

Rowen can’t help but feel moved when he thinks of this. It’s better for his own master to consider all aspects. Ignoring the friendship for many years, even the “Old fox” comment has been said.

But……

His Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Method is not a good thing!

Although the effect is powerful and can quickly increase the physical strength of a person, the process is definitely not easy or wonderful!

This is obvious to all. Garp still has some lingering fears about the time he saw Rowen’s bloody and wicked appearance at the end of every practice in the first month. He reminded this to everyone many times in the meeting.

Calculated as a successful development, this is by no means something that can be installed on a large scale!

That kind of pain and suffering can easily destroy a person’s will and soul!

Only those Marine elites who have developed their potential to the limit and those who are struggling and are full of resilience can try to use this training method.

So Rowen came back to his senses and didn’t break Zephyr’s careful thoughts, but frowned and asked, “Are you sure it’s feasible? Once an accident happens, it would be a naked murder!”

Rowen knew what was happening to his body in the training process and he knew what had happened after he did this training exercise in his previous life.

The Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Method was born out of the self-harming exercise method that almost killed him. He just changed the pain-making method from an appliance to lightning.
