Mia also came back finishing her last round and looked happy as she performed well in the assessment.

Around evening, the assessment was completed and was told, the results will be announced after an hour.

Everyone was eagerly waiting for the result, and finally, after one-hour Chaton came forward and announced the results.

"Everyone who isn't going to pass the assessment doesn't have to worry, from hereafter every year there will be recruitment."

"Now, I will speak out the name of young soldiers who passed the assessment", Chaton said and begin to pronounce the names.

Obviously, Rey and Mia got selected. In total, 54 members got chosen for the elite training camp in their base.

"Now, congratulation for one's who got selected. I know everyone here are believers in justice but once you all arrive at the headquarters, the training will be very strict and harsh."

"If there's anyone who is not okay with it, now's your time to withdraw. Once you reach headquarters, then you won't be given any choice." Chaton solemnly stated.

Noticing no one is backing out, he continued: "Tomorrow, you all will be traveling with me to headquarters and begin your training as Elite Marine Recruits."

"Yes, sir" The Elite Marine recruits saluted and revealed a happy expression.

"You all can go back and take rest. We will leave at sunrise."

----

Next day,

Before daybreak, everyone gathered at the dock waiting for Chaton to arrive. Some are excited, some are emotional to leave their home but all of their contained a smile.

To achieve something bigger you have to eventually leave your home.

Mia was also slightly emotional as she was born and raised here in the south blue. Unlike Rey who's orphan, Mia has a family in south blue.

After some time, Chaton arrived and everyone left the marine base by boarding the ship Chaton came, the day before yesterday.

Unlike pirates, the Marine way of transport is quite easy as they are the overlord in this world along with world government.

Their ship traveled along the sea in safe route and quickly reached the Red port. In Red port, they waited for the other recruits from the marine base all over the south blue.

It seemed like Chaton was the one responsible for whole south blue recruitment. The other recruits from all over the south blue arrived one by one, in total the marine recruits numbered around 250 including Rey's group.

Once everyone arrived, they left the red port and arrived at the Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Marineford is a crescent moon-shaped island that is composed completely of bricks and steel, with cannons on the edges.

On the center of the island is an execution scaffold, and around it is a small town with trees around the area. The front of the scaffold is a plain and empty area, where the Ox Bell stands at the front.

The majority of the island is occupied by 'Marineford Town' and it's one of the biggest towns in the world, especially compared to most other towns and cities in the world and also, it is the home to the most families of the Marines.

At the back of the island, standing large, tall and proud is the Marine Headquarters building. The building is a large multistory ancient Japanese-stylized palace, with the Marines symbol in between.

Around the building's four cardinal corners is a small mountain with a small building on top and a flag with the Marines' symbol placed on top of the roofs each.

Every Elite Marine recruits who came here for the first time was watching the marine Headquarters with their mouth wide open, except Rey.

While Rey recalled about the paramount war which took place between the Marines and Whitebeard pirates gazing at the marine headquarters.

"Everyone, don't stand there, you will be here for a long time so you can watch later. Now, go and take rest because from tomorrow you won't be having any." Chaton guided everyone to a big open space filled with trees.

"My duty is finished here, someone will come and show you around. We will meet again in the future, that is if you keep getting stronger." Chaton waved his hand and left.

In the large open area, they are not the only recruits present; Like them, many recruits from other seas, and Grand Line were also present.

There were nearly about 1000 something recruits, and it's quite a number.

Rey, Mia, and the groups were standing at one side, clearly, no one wants to mingle with recruits from other seas.

The surprising thing is, Rey saw some of the important characters of the One Piece world like young Smoker, Hina, X drake, etc.

Soon, a young man around eighteen came to Mia's side and flirted: "Oh, a beauty! Miss, you look pretty. If you partner with me, together, we can catch a lot of pirates and I will also teach you a lot of skills. Hahaha"

As soon as the words left this mouth, a punch came to his face and send him flying in the air. Soon, some of his fellow recruit friends rushed forward and surrounded Rey.

The young man also got up, while his face was swollen, and his eyes are burning in fury. "You, How dare you to punch me? Do you know who am I?"

"I don't know and don't care. But if you mess with my friend, I will mess up your face." Rey expressionlessly replied in a calm manner.

Just from the youth's flamboyant way of dressing, Rey guessed he is someone with a background and came by recommendation.

But here is Marine Headquarters, where the background doesn't mean anything.

His fellow recruits who surrounded Rey also didn't take any action and weighing the pros and cons.

"Silence, Who's making a ruckus here? The instructor is coming, you guys behave." An ordinary-looking marine soldier came and shouted.

"Hmph, I will take care of you later", The young man said and left with his fellow recruits.
