"Ugh! I can't take this any more." Standa stood to his feet. "We're under assault, and not one of you has done your daily duties!" The Bowler hatted man pointed a finger to Kalikard "Stand up, we're doing Benchmark Readings."
"What! Cmon, all that stuff is BS!" The Swordsman complained with a gesture of his hand "I've already been training, of course it's gonna be better than last time!"
"Just do it." Hugo said. "I think it'll make me more at ease if I know you all are still up to snuff."
"We don't even have the Machine here! It always gets broken by CPA 9 anyway! It's just a number anyway…" Kalikard huffed, rolling his eyes.
"It measures Physical Might and puts it into a number. Things like the amount of Destructions you could cause, and even the Explosive force of your punch. Specifically from your weakest punch you put effort into." Standa said, unbuttoning his suit jacket and throwing it to the side, followed by his shirt, revealing a pudgy torso, but like that of a strongmans. Skin looked like it was pulled taught across his muscles
"I forgot about that." Yuwaku said, adjusting her glasses. "He has metal and a device implanted in his torso that allows him to read the vibrations. Don't know how he does it with a lack of electronics." Added Colt
"But I'm a walking reader. About as accurate as the Machines…I already know the last Benchmark of the others, but it's best to have some than none at all." He stood in a horse stance and sensed his abdomen "Who evers first cmon u-"
Standa was interrupted as Leery suddenly Appeared in front of Standa and slammed his fist into him. With effort behind it like he meant it. "Gah!" Standa gasped "Not bad…"
Yuwaku was next, sending a kick causing another sting of pain, followed by another feeling of understanding. Then Howit Colt delivered a cross, And finally Kalikard delivered a backhand.
"Phew…Okay." Standa rolled his shoulders. And pulled his shirt back on. "Given my own. Level. And With the Remainders old ones. Your Niveau Levels are-"
"Colt- 978"
"Hide- 1,500"
"Akimera- 2,250"
"My Own- 3,250"
"Fonias- 5,600"
"Yuwaku-7,990"
"Kalikard- 8,000"
"Zachary Leery- 10,000"
"Huh!?" Kalikard stood to his feet, as did Colt "Why the hell am I so close to Yuwaku?!" Said the Swordsmen. Then Colts complaints were heard "Yeah and why am I so low?! Aren't normal Marines only 50!"
"Well. Those were only weak punches. And merely a benchmark. Your prowess will truly be tested in combat. But now- I'm satisfied in know you may prove yourself beyond" Standa then pulled the rest of his clothes back over, rebuttoning them
"There's always how your devil fruits let you utilize more of your strength, and in the case of some. How it amplifies it to its peak and possibly beyond." His eyes shifted from Kalikard then to Leery.
Another crash echoed and partially shook the Citadel.
"Hup!" Leroy filled backwards as a CPA 8 Member smashed his fist into the Ground, slamming his flying leg into the side of the man's head as another came up from the side, causing him to need to tense hard to block! Being sent skidding backwards!
It was a full on assault on all sides by the Members of Combative CPA, 5, 8 and Others. "Shigan!" A tall man in a black trench coat and glasses. Jakna, Niveau- 1,002. Leroy dodged out of the way of the Finger Pistol, grabbing his larger finger, cracking it in half and then flipping him up and over his head, slamming him into the ground, and dragging him to harshly to slam into another!
"Teka-!" The Second member Chaleco, Niveau- 976, who wore only a waist coat with a beard only on his jawline attempted to tense his muscles into the hardened technique known as Tekai! Only for Iron Body to fail, his footing getting loose as the body of his comrade slammed into him! Sending him flying back! Slamming into a building, causing it to explode into rubble!
"You'll pay for that you pirate Scum!" The Final CPA 9 Member, Atar, Niveau- 2,500. The Strongest CPA 8 Member that had been stuck in 8 as a member, having been denied promotion for the sake of continuing his duties within the Eight Aegis. "Storm Leg!"
He swiped his leg, like Kale would with Issen-ho, creating a potent compressed blade of wind to fly extremely fast towards Leroy! The Blade impacted, and like a gust of wind in the desert, tore into his skin! It acted closer to an abrasion than a cut!
Blood trailed down his forearms as he leapt forward! Arm reeled back! They slammed back and forth against each other for three blows, a cross, an uppercut, and finally a large left hook! But they were usually on the Rubber Man! His arms sent flying back and twisting into compressed bundles of Muscle! "Gum Gum! Howda!"
The Twin impact caused the man to spit up blood as the wind whipped around caused a crater to form a dozen meters wide! Pulling up rubble and smacking into the others! Then a moment later, Atar went flying through the air! Slamming through three blocks of buildings! Destroying the ones he impacted and the rest caved like a bite had been taken out of them!
He wouldn't be getting up again.
"Hah…Hah…Phew…Let keep goin! I'm comin Raven!" He still had an entire part of the city to run through currently, and with over a thousand Agents and Marines as low as Ensign in his way. It was lucky that there were few that were from HQ, and didn't reach the Rank of Captain.
"Rockin' Fist!" Calliope screamed as she slammed a large Metallic Fist into the Half-Giant, Halv! Niveau- 2,500. He was a Strong Half-Giant, and was above the strength of one hundred times that of a normal person that Giants were known for!
Blood spewed from the giant's nose! Causing him to stumble backwards, the cartilage had been smashed to bits!
