Chapter 71: General Candidate

“Didn’t you notice anything strange about him?” The captain was annoyed by their stupidity.

They looked at each other. Really, they did not quite understand what the captain meant.

“Dumbass,” the captain suddenly cursed. He looked extremely uncomfortable, already on the verge of erupting, but he explained, “Ever since he was saved by us on the ship, he has not cultivated properly, nor has he done any proper training. Of course, he did not undergo any reasonable training. He’s either sleeping or eating.”

“However, if it was someone else, he would be a useless person. No, he would be worse than a useless person. He would not even be worthy of being a useless person. A useless person can still complete his training. Look at the difference between him and the new recruits on our ship. Which new recruit has the ability to do so?”

“Which guy who slacks and doesn’t exercise can still make it to his level? Who else can it be other than Occam? Tell me!”

Seeing the captain’s gradually losing his temper, the others shook in fear.

“Hearing what Captain said, I remember it too. It really seems like it. Occam hasn’t exercised much. He’s already so strong now. How strong will he become if he works hard?”

“In that case, even if he doesn’t cultivate, we can’t be his match. He’s a genius!”

“If that’s the case, then we might have misjudged. Occam’s ability has been shown just now. Even we can’t beat him, but where did his power come from?”

“I don’t know. Because people like them exist, they don’t need the effort of ordinary people to easily obtain abilities that normal people can’t. This is the kind of people who are called geniuses.”

The captain did not rage. Fortunately, these people were not too stupid.

Otherwise, he would really explode and curse angrily at these idiots.

Seeing that they were on the topic, the captain did not continue. Instead, he said, “Maybe there’s a God living in him!”

“The chosen ones are like this.”

Everyone was stunned after hearing that.

God lived in his body!

“Could it be that Haoshoku Haki has been awakened in his body? He hasn’t attacked all along, but now that he has a chance, he can use this power and defeat all the pirates?”

They could not help but think so. The captain clearly had made up his mind.

When this was said, everyone was shocked and their faces turned pale. Occam’s physical strength was indeed comparable with Haoshoku Haki?

They had almost forgotten about the General that the captain had mentioned. Instead, they were shocked by this sentence.

That was Haoshoku Haki, one in a hundred million people. However, anyone who can completely hit the Haoshoku would at least be a General.

In this sea, no one has awakened Haoshoku Haki except for another General.

A power of this level was fixed by fate and one could not cultivate to reach it, one could only rely on their own growth to become powerful.

Could it be that this was the reason for Occam’s personality?

A person who was found in the sea could have such power. What kind of luck was this?

This was the background of the upper echelons.

“However, based on Haoshoku Haki alone, it seems that it is not sufficient for him to become a General. After all, a General represents the highest combat power. Even if he wants to advance, he needs to do it step by step, right?”

This was also a rule that all of them knew. This was it. There was no way to violate it. There was a Haoshoku Haki in the Marines. If they began a battle in a new region, although few people possessed Haoshoku Haki, they had their own battlefield.

Everyone finally reacted and looked at the captain.

“With that in mind, I obviously have other information.”

The information in the captain’s hand was all Occam’s. He despised the young man and pulled out Occam’s information from the back.

The information was crumpled. It could be seen how many times the captain had taken out his information and read it.

“Some time ago, you were all training, so you don’t know that I was the one who led Occam’s test. As a result, I was directly suppressed by his Haoshoku Haki and even my weapon was shattered by his Haoshoku Haki.”

When the captain said that, he squinted his eyes. When he thought of the scene back then, he could not help but feel afraid. No, it should be said that he was shocked and excited.

His emotions were very complicated.

“What was even more ridiculous was that there were veterans observing him. When they were observing, which veteran was still watching from the side? One of them was even knocked unconscious.”

The captain’s words shocked everyone. Their eyes widened.

This is not as simple as awakening Haoshoku Haki.

Everyone once again thought that his words were unbelievable.

Occam stunned a veteran with Haoshoku Haki. The willpower of a veteran was not something that ordinary people can compare with. Their experience was not something that ordinary people can compare with.

“Which soldier is it? It’s indeed Glass.”

Everyone knew the capabilities of Glass, the alternative General.

The others fell silent.

If that was the case, it meant that Occam had said something that they could not think of.

These candidates were undoubtedly powerful and had the chance to become Generals.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Occam sneezed.

“D*mn, who is talking about me?!”

Occam looked confused.

Wasn’t he about to return? Why was he acting like this?

‘Is it because they’re dissatisfied with what I did?’

‘How strange. Didn’t I do this for you guys? How strange.’

‘Also, these people are really strange. I’ve been fighting here for so long, why don’t you guys come over?’

‘Do they only know how to blend in?’

‘Can you stop talking about how good looking I am? Seriously.’

Occam looked confused. Was that what he had been waiting for?

He was waiting for backup. He had already exercised. They could come over to pack their luggage and clean up.

‘It’s so rare for me to work hard. Can you guys stop being a bystander?’

‘How infuriating.’

Those were Occam’s thoughts.

“I beat him to death here, but you guys are just being bystanders. Fun to watch?”

On the ship, Occam sneezed a few more times and rubbed his nose. He finally felt better.

He combed his clean short hair and looked handsome.

“I’m still very handsome. I wonder when I can find a girlfriend, considering how powerful I am?”
