Roja didn't take Akainu's words into his heart at all.
After all, Akainu is just a defeated general.
What would Akainu think if he knew that the person he looked down on just now was the mysterious man who defeated him with one move?
Thinking of this, Roja flipped up his black hair and then returned to his room.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the first day of the promotion meeting.
Roja had a pretty good sleep yesterday. When he walked out of the room, he saw that the main training ground was already full of people!
“Hey, don’t you know where to stand?”
Kalifa's voice came from behind Roja.
Roja looked at Kalifa. Kalifa gave Roja a slightly different feeling today.
But Roja couldn’t tell for a moment, where exactly is this change?
“Well, they only arranged a place for me and didn’t tell me anything else.”
“Then stand next to me, but don’t think too much about it. I will never forget the trick you played on me yesterday. If there is a chance, I will definitely let you know how powerful I am!”
It’s just that when Kalifa said these words, she didn’t know why, but her eyes were a little wandering.
When Roya followed Kalifa and came to the front of a team.
Then I saw Sengoku and Garp standing at the highest point of Marinefando, one behind the other!
They looked at these navy condescendingly, and after talking a lot of useless nonsense, they finally announced the start of the promotion meeting.
When Warring States turned to leave, he glanced at Roja below.
Because only Roja was not wearing a navy uniform, he looked extremely conspicuous.
Garp noticed Sengoku's eyes, and following his eyes, he also saw Roya standing next to Kalifa.
Karp joked: "It's great to be young. This young man is so handsome. No wonder he is so popular with girls."
Sengoku looked expressionless and said to Garp: "Garp, what level do you think this guy can reach?"
"Yesterday afternoon, I also saw the competition between him and Kalifa. Although the fruit's ability is very strange, it does not improve the combat effectiveness much. It should be at the level of a lieutenant general at most!"
Warring States nodded, then shook his head and said: "I think he can win the general!"
After hearing what Sengoku said, Garp subconsciously repeated it, and then said in shock: "What! General! You are too optimistic about him!"
“Want to bet? If you lose, you will never be able to steal my senbei again! And you can’t be lazy!”
After thinking for a moment, Garp said: "Bet, but if you lose, your senbei will be mine from now on!"
"make a deal!"
Sengoku inadvertently raised the corners of his mouth after seeing Garp agreeing.
Garp didn’t know that among the heads of Roya, there was the head of Evri with the power of the strange power fruit!
This shows that Roja must have other, very powerful means.
In addition, Warring States also took a fancy to Roja's talent. If possible, he wanted to absorb Roja into the Dove Faction.
The dove faction is a faction in the navy. Correspondingly, there are the hawk faction headed by Akainu and the neutral faction headed by Kizaru, commonly known as the salted fish faction.
As the name suggests, the Dove faction is relatively mild, and its methods are not too brutal. Everyone has his own justice in his heart.
Hawks, the navy is justice, pirates are evil, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
The neutral faction is not stained with both sides.
Of course, there are also some individual differences.

Roja got his order to participate in the battle at the main training ground.
He has a bye, which means he can directly enter the next round without any fighting.
Kalifa next to him saw this scene and said with a smile: "You're lucky, but that's fine. The later you lose, the better."
"It's because the later I lose, the stronger I am. Then if you were defeated by me before, it won't be so ugly, right?"
Seeing Roja speaking out her thoughts without hesitation, Kalifa felt ashamed and angry!
“You look so gentle and handsome, why do you have such a venomous tongue? Hum, I will never ignore you again!”
As Kalifa spoke, she walked towards the side without looking back, showing an expression that said, "Come here quickly to comfort me."
However, Roja did not continue to talk to Kalifa, but continued to go back to sleep.
This made Kalifa even more angry!
In the following days, Roja had byes, which made Roja feel that there was a hand controlling everything from behind.
However, Roja didn't care about it, and was actually happy and relaxed.
Every day he just sleeps or watches other people compete, which he enjoys.
Finally, on the sixth day of his arrival in Malinfando, Roja faced his first opponent, a colonel named Smog!
The outside of the training ground is crowded with people.
Nowadays, many naval soldiers are aware of Roja's existence.
But many of them have only heard of it and have never seen the battle of Roja.
So this time, a lot of soldiers came to watch, and they circled three times inside and three times outside, and the crowd was so full!
At this time, Kalifa came over from nowhere.
He reminded Roja: "Roya, Smoker is a user with the natural smoke fruit ability. He has been winning for six days in a row and is very powerful!"
"Um."
I kindly reminded Roja that it would be fine if Roja didn’t thank her, and his reaction was so bland, which made Kalifa feel a little uncomfortable.
“Hmph, forget it if you don’t believe it, I want to see how you will be defeated by Smoker!”
Of course, she only talked about it verbally.
Unconsciously, even Kalifa herself didn’t know that she was paying more and more attention to Roya’s every move!
In fact, even Roja himself did not expect that Smoker would actually become his first opponent in Malinfando.
Smog has been winning for six days in a row. With the ability of the Smoke Fruit, Smoker can be said to be a leader at the same level.
But is this really useful for Roja?

Roja slowly walked to the training ground.
He looked at Smoker in front of him, who was holding a sea tower stone in ten hands, a cigar in his mouth, and a white slicked back hair, and said lightly: "Please give me some advice!"
“Please give me more advice!”
At this time, the voice of Smoker’s friend, Tina, cheering for Smoker was heard in the training ground, “Tina is here to cheer you on, don’t lose!”
Following the sound, Roja looked at the pink-haired girl, but at this moment, Smoker turned into smoke and rushed towards Roja!
“It’s a big no-no to lose focus during battle!”
After the words fell, Smoker raised his hands high, with ten hands made of seastone, and stabbed Roja...
