Another thing that I am confused is the daily points he gets from his marine rank. For chore boy it was 10, right? But then he jumped directly into first seasmen and the daily only increased to 20. That is a too little I think? After all if it was apreantice then I can agree. But he was first class.... and now he is even a petty officer. Shouldn't he still get daily points from his rank given that he is currently doing his job(even if it is a cp type of job instead of marine)?
Standy_Victorov:By the way. Where is Rak on the timeline? I am asking because given that how much time he spend with the Marines he should already know if he is in canon or pre canon( just needs to know how many years ago was gol d Roger executed) or around where in canon he is( things like alabasta, eniens lobby, moriah, marineford war were globaly knows thanks to the news)
What I like here is that he's moving up step by step in the navy, starting at the base. It's really refreshing to see his journey growing as a sailor, unlike other fanfics of this type where the Protagonist catches Garp's eye, goes to elite training ground and when he leaves he's already a navy commodore, I hope his rise in the ranks be it something that takes years, you don't become an Admiral in 1 or 2 years, by the way what is his current timeline?
Actually we(the readers) dont know if rak is weak or strong. We usually know his stats number, but we don't know anyone else stats (and skills) so realistically we don't have anyone to compare rak to. If we don't have a base to compare rak to then how can we know or say that ran is either weak, average, strong, elite, genius, monster, etc.?
.... and now that I mentioned cp I gotta ask why was the job given to a marine instead of them? After all the Marines are the face of the world goverment while the cipher pol are the ones doing all the dirty jobs. Infiltration and assassination is their kind of specialization.... unless rak is given the mission as a hidden test to see if he is qualified to be put in cp? Who knows. After all there are not only cp0 and cp9. There are also cp1-8. Maybe he will start from there? Could be interesting if the cp are allowed to train the marine six.
...... why do I have the feeling that he will find out about it from garp recruiting him alongside Cody?........ or conscripting him for the marineford war?[ would he? When he finished the mission he will become master chief petty officer(unless he gets some bonus for the record time finishing the task. Seriously the higher ups wanted him to just kill 1 captain for 2 weeks. Instead he will kill 4 captain for the same time) and given you said "some time after" I will assume that he will have enough time to become ensign before the timeline is revealed. So yeah it is possible to recruit an ensign(official officer rank) for the war]
