Pirates: Dangerous Options in My Brain

After understanding the reason for his transfer to Navy Headquarters, Vivian became even angrier. In his mind, he kept imagining scenes of beating Smoker to the ground, but outwardly he said, "Well… actually, my strength isn't as great as Captain Smoker says…"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Vivian: "…"

…

Marineford Base, Training Ground.

A large group of Marines surrounded the central ring, creating an imposing atmosphere…

Not really!

Vivian stood on the ring, holding the Blood Demon Blade, facing a female Navy from a distance, with a cigar in his mouth and a relaxed expression on his face.

It's just sparring, what's there to be nervous about?

"Vivian, a newcomer who arrived today, branch Petty Officer, now transferred to headquarters Petty Officer," Sengoku introduced from below the ring.

Transferring from branch officer to headquarters officer seemed like a promotion at first glance, but in reality, it only increased the danger without any salary increase, still 400,000 Beli per month. {Wasn't it about 300,000 to 350,000?}

"Hina, Navy Headquarters Captain, Paramecia-type Cage-Cage Fruit user, and the one recommended by Smoker to test your strength."

Upon hearing this, a vein popped out on Vivian's forehead.

That damn Smoker, don't let me catch you at the headquarters base, or I'll take ten boxes of cigars from you.

"Miss Hina, go for it!"

"Take him down!"

"Newbie, if you hurt Miss Hina, we won't let you off!"

The male Marines below cheered for Hina and occasionally threatened Vivian.

Vivian heard them but remained unfazed.

Hurt her?

Then how would I survive at Marineford Base?

Hina, as the goddess of the headquarters Marines, especially with her sexy appeal, had more admirers than Tashigi at the Loguetown base.

Vivian had already planned to minimize contact with this woman, but who would have thought…

That damn Smoker backstabbed him!!

"Are you ready? Hina is about to attack you," a pink-haired woman on the opposite side of the ring reminded Vivian.

Vivian nodded, drew the Blood Demon Blade from its sheath, and the red blade immediately caught everyone's eye. Sengoku glanced at the blade, his gaze becoming sharp.

A Great Grade Sword?

So this kid really has the strength of a swordsman or higher?

If he can defeat Hina, he might really be the culprit behind that incident…

Thinking this, Vivian swung his blade, stepped forward, and slashed at Hina's side.

"Miss Hina, watch out!"

The crowd below hurriedly reminded her.

However, Hina had already generated a black fence to block Vivian's slash.

Clang—!

A crisp and pleasant sound of impact.

At the same time, Vivian took a deep breath, and a large burst of lightning instantly surged from his blade, sweeping towards Hina.

He naturally didn't intend to hide his Thunder Breathing ability, as he had already used it publicly once in the underworld. Besides Smoker, many others had seen it, so there was no need to keep it hidden anymore.

Similarly, everyone around, including Sengoku, showed expressions of surprise.

"A Devil Fruit user?"

A Logia-type Goro Goro no Mi?

Sengoku, with his vast knowledge, immediately thought of this.

However, as Vivian's blade continuously clashed with the barriers Hina created, Sengoku gradually dismissed this idea.

The reason was simple: Vivian's fighting style did not match the charactAilistics of a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.

He couldn't transform into an element, and his lightning ability could only attach to his sword.

"Is it some kind of technological power?"

Or some other ability?

He pondered.

Meanwhile, after slashing out more than a dozen times, Vivian also figured out Hina's true strength.

Like him, she didn't know Observation Haki or Armament Haki, but she was extremely proficient in the Six Powers, especially Shave, Tempest Kick, and Finger Pistol.

"If this continues, I might really need to use a few more sword techniques, or I might actually get defeated by her…"

Vivian thought to himself.

The next second, as Hina used Shave to appear behind him, Vivian turned and slashed, releasing nearly ten streaks of lightning from his blade in an instant.

Thunder Breathing: Thunderclap and Flash!!!

The blade and lightning intertwined, moving so fast that it was hard to see. As it swept through the barriers, it also struck Hina's waist, shredding her uniform.

Feeling the numbness spreading through her body, Hina frowned, about to fall backward, but Vivian was the first to fly backward, crashing heavily off the ring.

The Marines watching: =???=???(●???●|||)

"Captain Hina, are you okay?"

"What just happened?"

"Did Hina win?"

Seeing Hina collapsed on the ring and Vivian thrown off, the Marines were confused until Sengoku suddenly stood up and announced, "This spar is a draw."

"A draw?"

The crowd looked at each other and then understood.

Captain Hina was paralyzed by the electricity, and at the same time, the newcomer had fallen off the ring. In such a situation, it was indeed a draw.

No problem at all.

"Someone, take Hina to the medical room."

"Yes, Fleet Admiral!"

"I'll do it!"

"Me, me!"

"Let me!"

A group of male Marines started clamoring.

On the other side.

[You chose Option 3, reward: Agility +1]

"Everyone, quiet down and move aside!" Sengoku said sternly. "Vivian, you paralyzed Hina, so you carry her to the medical room."

Vivian: "…"
