Pirates Achievement System

Chapter 73: Cultivation direction

"21,000 military skill points...The total bounty for all the crew members of the Fuji Pirates was almost a little over 200 million, it seems that the reward was set according to the bounty offered by the world government."

Ron walked out of an office while touching his chin.

In the marine headquarters, 2,000 military points would grant you a promotion to the position of a commander, 5,000 military points to reach the captain position, 10,000 military points for the commodore, and to attain the rear admiral position a total of 30,000 military points was needed.

This meant that if Ron applied for the graduation examination at that moment, he would be a commodore of his department if he passed it, and in case he gets additional 9000 military points, he would become a rear admiral, after passing the graduation examination.

It might look effortless, but in fact, it's very difficult to obtain military achievement points in the marines. Once a recruit becomes an official marine officer, even if he managed to defeat a whole pirate group alone, the obtained military achievement points would be distributed in proportion to the subordinates under his leadership.

But recruits were different.

The recruits who were still entitled to newcomer camp were privileged in acquiring military achievement points. In other words, the accomplished military skill points wouldn't be distributed without anyone else.

For instance, if Ron was a rear admiral who led a group of marine officers and defeated the Fuji Pirates, from the 21,000 points, he would only get 14,000 points, and one-third of these points would be distributed between his subordinates.

"It would better to find a way to collect the remaining 9000 military achievement points first."

Ron did not rush to apply for early graduation. After learning about the rules and conditions of the military achievement points distribution, he wondered whether it would be more effective to collect the 30,000 skill points before applying for graduation.

The rank of a rear admiral was his next target. Such rank has the privilege to ask for a devil fruit. Although it would be just one of the most common Zoan devil fruits, for Ron, the ability didn't really matter.

After leaving the marine headquarters, Ron flew to the coast.

After reaching 100 points, Ron's use of mental powers became more and more proficient. He basically no longer relied on his physical body to do any type of movement, even walking was replaced by flying.

Besides his flying ability, Ron also mastered some kind of physical barrier, in which he wrapped his body with a layer of constantly rotating spiritual barriers.

Compared with the magic barrier, the spiritual barrier was more flexible and had no blind spot, covering all directions. Although its defense was not as good as the one of the magic barrier, it could at least resist basic attacks, such as ordinary bullets, which would be easily reflected.

The cool thing about this trick was that it was purely based on the use of spiritual power, and there was no conflict with magic that could be used simultaneously.

That was to say, in case of a difficult battle, Ron would first use his stone armor technique, then apply his mental power barrier, and could also add his magic barrier in case of encountering a powerful attack.

A three-layered defensive shield that would give a vice-admiral trouble to penetrate through it.

In addition,

After mastering the third-level of wind system, and acquiring more knowledge about its runes, Ron learned auxiliary wind magic that could increase his body speed. Also, with his 100 points of mental power, his flying speed became extremely fast, that even without using Heavy Load, a rear admiral would never be able to catch him.
After all, Geppo (Moonwalk) is a technique that relies a lot on physical strength, to hop and kick the air to stay afloat. It was not a true flying ability. It focuses on flexibility rather than speed. Its speed is naturally less then Soru (shaving) when used on the ground.
