Chapter 71 Major General

The rewards for Jiger and others in the department were quickly announced. When people saw the content of the rewards, they were shocked.

The three female cadets headed by Lucia were all awarded the rank of colonel, while the four male cadets headed by Jiger were even more outrageous, as the lowest rank awarded to them was brigadier general.

The remaining Ziger, Akainu and Kizaru were all awarded the rank of major general, but Ziger, who was the first to make the contribution, was a little special.

After all, they are still cadets, so this military rank is essentially a nominal position, and they cannot have their own fleet or subordinates.

But Jiger was different. The navy high-ranking officials gave him a privilege, that is, he had the power to mobilize part of the troops. He could go to sea at ordinary times and report after returning.

Therefore, at present, only Jiger is a real rear admiral of the headquarters navy.

Of course, even a nominal position with no real power like Akainu's is enough to make many navy men who have been struggling for decades without reaching the colonel level extremely envious, not to mention that Ziger and his group of cadets started as colonels and are from the headquarters.

There is a saying on Blue Planet that "Beijing officials are three levels higher", and the same applies to the navy.

Although the generals of the headquarters are not as exaggerated as those of the third level when placed in the branch, but in terms of the same military rank, except for the branch starting with G on the Grand Line, the generals from the headquarters crush the branches around the world in terms of strength and level.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the position of Rear Admiral of the Headquarters seems insignificant in anime. It is a position that many navy officers cannot reach in their entire lives.

On the wall of Giger's four-person dormitory, there are four navy coats, from large to small. These are the uniforms with general officer epaulettes that have just been distributed to the four of them.

The colors are gray, black, red, and yellow, corresponding to their fruit abilities.

By the way, naval officers above the rank of colonel can ask the logistics department to design and make clothes according to their preferences. Officers at higher levels can even choose to go shirtless, like the admiral Green Bull mentioned later.

However, apart from trying the coats on when they were first distributed, the four of them usually don't wear them. After all, wearing coats to training seems a bit pretentious.

But when Jiger and the other four appeared on the training ground again, the way the students looked at them was very different from before.

In the past, no matter how abnormal their talents were, as long as they were in school, they were all students.

It is different now. Jiger and the other four are already naval officers with official military ranks, and they are all generals. In the eyes of all the students, they are already “big shots”.

Some people even started calling Jiger and others "chiefs".

On the girls' side, Lucia and the other two received the same treatment as Jiger and the others. Lucia didn't feel anything about it because she was the third captain of the Figalando family, a position no less than that of a naval colonel.

Gion, on the other hand, didn't really care about this kind of thing because of the crane.

Only Ginny seemed a little at a loss, but fortunately her best friend Jessica treated her the same as before, which made her feel a lot more relieved.

About half a year passed, and on this day, Jiger was doing physical training on the training ground as usual.

Since the gap between their strength and that of others is so huge, and ordinary physical training can no longer satisfy them, in addition to ability development exercises, the four of them are engaging in physical confrontations to improve their strength.

Akainu likes to fight with Kuma, probably because both of them are the type who are not good at speaking. When they fight, they use real punches, and the highlight is the fight between two tough guys.

In this way, Kizaru is in a miserable situation. Every time his opponent is the strongest Ziger. Who told him to like to rub the Kusanagi sword?

Clang clang!

The demon sword Muramasa and the sword Ame Murakumo kept colliding with each other, and the scattered sword energy plowed the grass on the surrounding ground over and over again.

In this kind of training, Kizaru is the only one who is allowed to use his ability by default, because his weapon is a lightsaber made with his ability.

Anyone who has played the previous game "Tian Shangcun and Rudean" on Blue Star knows that dual swords are not considered colorless.

In order to prevent the demon sword Muramasa from directly absorbing Kizaru's lightsaber, Jiger had to deliberately control Muramasa, but even so, Kizaru still had a hard time fighting. The light of the Ame no Murasaki sword was dimmed several times, as if it would collapse in the next second.

Jiger dodged and distanced himself. A wisp of red gas gradually wrapped around the blade of the demon sword Muramasa. Kizaru's pupils shrank when he saw this. He immediately stretched out a hand and shouted,

"Qiao Dou Madai!"

"..."

Jiger was preparing to use his sword technique Yu Ji with a serious face, but when he heard Kizaru shouting to stop, his face froze, and the domineering aura that had just condensed on Muramasa instantly dissipated into the air.

The fight between Akainu and Kuma came to an abrupt end. Akainu wiped the sweat off his head, looked at Kizaru with some doubt, and said,

"Borsalino, when did you call for a stop? Are you slacking off when Mr. Zephyr is not around?"

Yellow Monkey pursed his lips. Now he looked a bit like an abandoned young wife. He said aggrievedly,

"Sakaski, you seem to enjoy fighting, have you ever considered my feelings?"

"?"

The honest Akainu had an expression of confusion and awe, while Kuma stood silently by the side without saying a word.

Jiger reluctantly took back Muramasa, he looked at Kizaru and said,

"Okay, I did hit him a little too hard that day, but I really didn't mean it!"

A few days ago, Jiger also used Yu Ji on Kizaru. It was the first time for Kizaru to experience this kind of swordsmanship. Due to his lack of experience, he was pierced through the body by the invisible sword energy of Yu Ji and fell to his knees on the spot.

Even the thick-skinned Kizaru felt embarrassed when he thought about this incident, so much so that when he saw Jiger's opening move today, he immediately called for a timeout.

After all, his privilege in physical training is just rubbing the lightsaber. Using photonization to dodge is a foul, so he really can only choose to take it hard. His willpower cannot be said to be weak, but there is still a gap compared to Akainu.

So in addition to the ability of the fruit, Ziger has another move that can specifically counter Kizaru, and that is the sword technique Yuji.

After Kizaru's strike, Jiger and the other two did not continue. The four of them simply sat on the ground. After a while, Lucia and Ginny came over after finishing their training. They sat on both sides of Jiger, one on the left and one on the right.

Akainu and the other two were already used to this situation, the four boys were chatting casually, with Ginny joining in from time to time.

Only Lucia knelt quietly beside Jig. When Jig looked at her, she would smile softly, and her smile fascinated many male students who had a crush on her.

Until the "messenger" flying squirrel came running and said,

"Jig, Mr. Zefa is at the recruiting office, he wants you to come over!"
