Chapter 9: Dao Power Test, You Are Still Far From It!
Dao power value.
In the current world, without considering Haki or fruit abilities, data is provided to directly quantify the attack power of combatants.
An average adult male, after some simple training in the navy, would only have a Dao Power value of 10.
For example, the chief of CP9 in Enforcement Island, whose Dao Power value in the famous measurement unit Spaddam is only a pitiful 9.
In the navy, Daoli value is a reference value for measuring the strength of the middle and lower-level navy.
In the naval school led by Zefa, the test of Daoli value is also an assessment indicator for students.
The minimum requirement for admission to the Naval Academy is 80 Dao Strength, while the minimum requirement for graduation is 500, with no upper limit.
Of course, Daoli value is only one of the many graduation criteria. In addition to personal combat effectiveness, other aspects will also be considered when deciding whether or not to graduate.
Not long after, Zefa led Yuichiro Tsugakuin to an open space. In front of Yuichiro Tsugakuin, there stood a huge stone wall of 5m×5m×5m. On the side of this stone wall, there was a small display screen, and the number displayed on it was "0".
Zefa walked to the stone wall, stretched out his hand and tapped the stone wall lightly, and said to Jiguo Yuanyi:
"Yuichi, this is the 'instrument' for testing the Dao power value."
"This stone wall is made entirely of seastone and is incredibly hard. When you attack it, the force you transmit will be converted into Dao Force and displayed on this monitor."
"Here, just like this."
As he spoke, Zefa stretched out two fingers and knocked on the stone wall seemingly lightly, as if knocking on a door. At this moment, the huge stone wall actually made a muffled sound and was visibly pushed back several centimeters.
“Bang!!!”
As the sound came out, the numbers on the display on Zefa's side jumped wildly, finally freezing at 1213, and then stopped.
Zefa seemed very satisfied with his demonstration and a smile appeared on his face. Ten seconds after the value was displayed, the huge stone wall began to move slowly by itself and returned to its previous position, as if there was a spring installed behind it.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was attracted by the novel scene in front of him. It was the first time he saw something that could directly measure attack power.
But looking at the huge stone wall in front of him, Jiguo Yuanyi couldn't help but feel strange. It would be impossible for a normal person to shake such a large stone wall, right?
Just now, Zefa only blasted the stone wall back a few centimeters, and the value displayed was only around 1200. If it were an ordinary person, he would not even be able to measure the value, right?
"Come on, Yunyi, give it a try, use your strongest attack!"
Zefa smiled and pointed at the stone wall, motioning Jiguo Yuanyi to come forward.
Ji Guoyuan, full of curiosity, came to the stone wall, simply took a horse stance, and then punched out directly, hitting the stone wall hard.
A huge force poured onto the stone wall, but the stone wall remained motionless.
However, the number on the monitor next to Zefa began to jump and finally stopped at 520.
"Haha, is this all you have?"
Zefa looked at the numbers on the display. Although he said so, his eyes were full of smiles when he looked at Yuichiro.
However, at this moment, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi suddenly took a step back and pulled out the long sword from his waist.
“Huh~~”
After adjusting his breathing slightly, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi swung his sword directly at the stone wall. The black blade was surrounded by bright red flames, which made Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's little face red.
Breathing of the Sun - Form Three - Red Mirror of the Blazing Sun!
"clang!!!!"
A horizontal slash was made, and unlike the previous muffled sound, when the long sword in Ji Guoyuan's hand slashed on the seastone, a crisp sound like metal collision was made.
The huge stone wall also retreated several meters visibly before stopping.
At this time, the number on the monitor next to Zefa had jumped to 5333.
Zefa turned his head and was obviously startled when he saw this number, but the surprise was fleeting. Soon, Zefa's face returned to calmness and he said lightly:
"Well, it's not bad."
Although he said this and looked calm, Zefa's heart was already in turmoil.
What does a 5000+ Doli mean? It's safe to say that most Vice Admirals in the Navy, without considering Devil Fruits, can only reach between 2000 and 4000. Excluding Garp, the top Vice Admirals barely reach 5000.
If the DO power of Luffy in Gear 2 during the Enforcement Island period was evaluated, it would be just over 5,000. At that time, Luffy was already considered a great pirate. He defeated two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and was later evaluated as one of the "Worst Generation".
There is no doubt that a Dao Power value of 5000+ cannot be considered an unknown person even if you look at the entire ocean.
But now, a teenager that Garp picked up casually actually possessed such terrifying power, which made Zefa couldn't help but be surprised.
But in order to maintain his "teacher" image, Zefa remained expressionless.
"Yuichirō! You must train well from now on."
"My Dao Power is only 5,000, it's still far from enough."
"When you can do what I have done, you can go out to sea and make your own living."
As Zefa spoke, he once again stood in front of the seastone wall, took a deep breath, and after accumulating strength, he suddenly swung his fist at the stone wall in front of him.
"Boom!!" After a muffled sound, the seastone wall flew back dozens of meters. The display next to Zefa stopped displaying when it jumped to 7000 and turned into a garbled code of 00000.
"Crack!" At this moment, the retreating stone wall seemed to have reached the end, and made a slight sound of being unable to bear the weight. The device connecting the ground to the sea tower stone wall seemed to be broken, and the stone wall rolled towards a farther distance.
"To shake this stone wall, one must reach at least 1,000 Dao Force. For someone like me, I can barely reach 10,000 Dao Force."
"Boy, you're still a long way from here. From now on, follow me and train well. I will train you into an excellent navy."
Zephyr looked at the stunned Yoriichi Tsugikoku and said with a smile.
"Come on, I'll show you the others. Starting tomorrow, I'll train you myself."
Afterwards, Zefa ignored the Taoist power testing device that had been hit by him and was smoking, and led Yuanyi away without looking back.
Not long after the two left, an instructor from the Naval Academy hurried over and looked at the messy scene in silence for a long time.
For the whole day, Yuichi Tsugakuma followed Zefa around, listening to Zefa introduce the Naval Academy. Not only the school, but in the afternoon, Zefa also took Yuichi Tsugakuma to visit Marineford.
Along the way, Zefa met many acquaintances, including old comrades, disciples, and naval officers who admired him. Zefa was in a very good mood today. He greeted everyone he met and introduced Yoriichi Tsugikuni to these old friends.
"Oh! XXXX, you're back?"
"Ah! This kid? My new disciple."
"Strength? Just so-so. On the first day of testing, I only managed a Dao Power of over 5,000. I'm still pretty inexperienced."
Yoriichi had forgotten how many people Zefa had said the same thing to. In addition to being impressed by Zefa's wide network of contacts, Yoriichi Tsugikoku also became generally familiar with Marinford.
In the evening, after following Zefa all day, Ji Guoyuan returned home and sat on the corridor at the door, leaning against the pillar and looking up at the night sky.
"The night sky of this world is even deeper than the previous one."
"The stars are even brighter!"
