The All-Powerful Magic Swordsman Hides His True Abilities and Aims To Live In the Countryside ~His Ideal Life Is Far From Over When He’s Spotted by a Noble Lady and a Saint!~ - Chapter 101
After Seth finished his speech everyone was looking at each other with fire in their eyes, all of them wanted to become one of those 7 who would become future commanders.
Seth seeing their expression nodded and looked at Jared and Ron he said “If the both of you managed to win a spot then your punishment would be waved off”
When the both of them heard this they sighed in relief and prepared themselves for the upcoming fights.
“Princess, please write down those who wants to participate in the tournament.” Seth said to Hanc.o.c.k which she nodded in agreement and went to do her work, Nami and Robin also helped Hanc.o.c.k with the task.
Bentham’s group immediately set up a fighting arena, while Seth, Tesoro, Gerhardt and Lazarus were talking and catching up.
2 hours later Hanc.o.c.k gave Seth the list of participants who would want to fight for the Commanders position.
The participants were – Jared, Ron, Shere Khan, Crocodile, Daz Bonez, Gin, Bentham, Galdino, Mark (The bat bat fruit eater), and 11 others who joined on the 1 year training.
The tournament would be divided into 4 groups with 5 person each. and the top 4 on each group would move to the next round making it 16 participants.
The next round would be the deciding round because if you win you’ll immediately become a commander, when the 7 commanders are chosen there would another round to decide their ranking.
On the second round Jared, Ron, Shere Khan, Daz Bonez and Bentham easily won their match and became one of the 7 commanders. The next 2 match were the most exciting ones because it would be Crocodile VS Mark and Gin VS Galdino.
The first to fight were Crocodile and Mark, their strengths were miles apart and Mark got defeated after a couple of exchanges.
The next match was Gin vs Galdino, Gin immediately attacked using his tonfa’s who was clad in haki. seeing the incoming attack Galdino then blocked it with a wax wall.
After blocking Gin’s attack Galdino then used “Candle Lock” on Gin’s leg making him tumble down, when Gin realized that he was tied down he began to exert his strength on his legs trying to break free.
Galdino then used Wax Clones creating 10 clones and surrounded Gin, they immediately attacked Gin from all sides.
Gin gritted his teeth not wanting to admit defeat, he wanted to become a commander so that he could invite his old crew members.
When he saw that Seth was about to stop the match he clad both of his tonfa’s in haki and smashed it towards the Wax. *Bang!*Bang!*Bang!* *Craaack!*
The wax started to crack and Gin continued on hitting hit until he finally broke free, he then used geppo and escaped from the air.
Seeing Gin using geppo Galdino immediately kick towards him and used Rankyaku but it missed because Gin was already high up.
Gin then looked down at Galdino and used soru while also using geppo at the same time, he immediately appeared behind Galdino and attack using his Tonfa’s *BOOM!*
Galdino used his wax wall to block Gin’s surprise attack, he was about to use “Candle Lock” again when he noticed that Gin continued barraging his wax wall and cracks started to appear.
He panicked and was about to escape using soru when suddenly the wax wall broke and Gin dashed towards Galdino and crossed both of his Tonfa’s on Galdino’s neck ending the fight.
“Okay that’s enough! we now have our 7 commanders, to those who lost don’t worry because every year we would have a tournament where anyone could challenge any commanders and if they defeated the commander they would be replacing them.
He then looked at his 7 new commanders and said “It will be up to you guys to decide who would take what position, you can battle it out or something.”
5 out of 7 commanders didn’t care what rank they would get, the only ones who wanted to be the 4th were Jared and Ron.
They then fought for the position of 4th Commander after a couple of bouts Ron emerged victorious and claimed the 4th position with his head held high while Jared was looking on the ground clearly dejected.
After finishing everything up Gin became the 10th Commander, Bentham the 9th Commander, Shere Khan the 8th Commander, Crocodile the 7th Commander, Daz Bonez the 6th Commander, Jared the 5th Commander and Ron who is the 4th Commander.
Seth then told them to prepare for a banquet to celebrate, everyone immediately scattered and prepared for the upcoming banquet they didn’t dare to be lazy because they didn’t want their Captain to be angry again.
Seth then entered his office with his 3 beautiful wives, while Tesoro, Gerhardt and Lazarus followed behind them.
After sitting on his seat Seth then asked “Tell me what happened in these past 7 months”
Tesoro stood up and reported “The 1st division Commander has successfully claimed 3 islands and are now currently under our banner.”
Gerhardt also reported “The 2nd and 3rd division Commanders has also successfully claimed 5 islands in the New World.”
Seth nodded hearing their reports and was happy when he found out that he already have some islands that were under him.
“So are there any important news regarding the Marines and World Government that I should know about?”
Tesoro nodded and reported “Yes there were many major changes in the marines Captain. Excluding Akainu, Kizaru and Fujitora there’s a new Admiral but we don’t know anything about her except for her title.”
Seth’s interest was piqued hearing that there’s a new admiral and she’s also a woman so he asked “What’s her title then?”
Tesoro then said with a solemn voice “They call her “Tenshi”
“Tenshi? you mean angel?” Seth asked
Tesoro nodded in agreement and said “You’re right Captain, we speculate that her devil fruit is related to an angel like your Grim Reaper devil fruit.”
Seth then thought for a moment and smiled “Looks like Aokiji isn’t just sitting around and doing nothing, now that there are 5 emperors he also added 1 more admiral on their ranks.”
