Chapter 18: Training Arc....Not Really
Marineford
Garp personally trained Calvin for several days, as they journeyed from East Blue to Marineford. "Bwahaha kid You're one of the most talented recruits that I have ever seen! You remind me of that boy Aokiji, he used to be on my ship one time, you'll rise through the ranks fast just like him!"
On the day that he arrived at Marine Ford 's training Camp, it was bright and sunny. Calvin saw Garp who had gone ahead, walking towards him with a few of the upper level marines.
"Officers on deck! Salute!" screamed an unknown drill sergeant. All the marines and recruits did a stiff salute. Calvin hurriedly imitated the others seconds later, albeit a bit sloppily. As he was never in the military in his life on earth so naturally saluting did not come naturally.
Garp strode forward and stopped in front of Calvin, bringing awe and surprise to the watchers. 'How was this young man acquainted with the legendary Hero of the marines Garp!?
"Good news brat! You're going to start as an officer!" He grinned widely. "You're too strong for the training camp afterall bwaahahaha!"
Calvin was shocked! 'Did I perform too well? This won't do, the training camp is where all the rising stars of the marines come from, I want to snatch a couple of them for myself' he thought to himself.
Sengoku Fleet admiral of the marines who was among the marine brass present for the inspection of the training camp rebuked Garp. "I already told you that he has to be tested before he can become an officer!"
Garp grinned as if he wasn't one bit concerned. "I trained him and he's strong, so he'll pass the test and be an officer by the end of the day! BWahahahaha!"
