"One Piece" ADAMAS

Arya celebrated her 16th birthday not long after she was discharged from the hospital. Because all her good friends went to a desert island for training, she didn't have much interest in celebrating her birthday. On the contrary, Kuzan and Polusalino took it seriously and even took Arya to the most expensive restaurant in Marineland to celebrate for an afternoon on weekdays. Arya was very suspicious that these two people were skipping work openly under the guise of celebrating her birthday. But because Kuzan gave her a good knife, she decided not to report them.

Immediately after her 16th birthday, Arya was thrown to a desert island by Zefa to participate in practical training. Before leaving, Kuzan sternly told her not to take off the bracelet, which made Arya board the ship confused.

The port of the desert island was crowded with students who came to watch. Arya received an overwhelming number of greetings before she even got off the ship, which scared her so much that she took dozens of steps back.

"What is this? Zefa, you don't want me to fight with them, do you?" Arya, who had been being trained recently, subconsciously felt that this was Zefa's attempt to intimidate her.

Zefa waved his hand: "I'm not going to punish you like this, but I really didn't expect that your popularity would be so high. You really deserve to be the child king of Malinfando."

"Please stop using such a middle-class nickname!" Arya said angrily.

"But how did these guys know that we were going to the island today?" Zefa was also a little surprised.

"Teacher Zefa! Please, have you brought the things you brought to the island?"

"Teacher Zefa, when can I have a holiday!?"

"Gifted elementary school girl, do you want to compete with your seniors?"

"Get out of here, don't scare the little sister!"

"Be careful of being beaten up by the school girl, she just jumped up a level!"

The students on the island gathered around and blocked the two people who had just got off the boat. Just when Arya was overwhelmed by the crowd and unable to move, a hand suddenly pulled her out of the crowd.

"Boss, your popularity is really amazing. The crowd is almost squeezing me thin." Amon exaggeratedly pinched his belly.

"Where did I get such popularity?" Arya narrowed her eyes and glared at Amon. She was a freshman who rarely appeared on campus. No matter how mysterious she was, it was unlikely that she would be so popular among the senior students. What did she think? They all found it strange.

"Ah, this." Amon's eyes flickered, not daring to look directly at Arya.

"Explain?" Arya moved closer.

"Because he tells everyone he meets that this year's super rookie is his boss." Loyal mercilessly exposed Amon.

"You are really my good brother!" Arya squeezed Amon's shoulder and gritted her teeth.

"Oh boss, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Amon quickly begged for mercy.

"Did you know I'm arriving today?"

"It was General Qing Pheasant who asked us to pick you up. He also said that he wanted us to take more care of you." Yamon said everything in such a carefree manner that Loyal had no time to cover his mouth.

Kuzan was afraid that the rebellious Arya would not accept his concern, so when he asked the two of them to ask for help, he specifically told them to keep it a secret. As a result, Amon, a guy whose mouth is faster than his brain, said it directly.

Loyal said helplessly: "Amon spilled the beans, and everyone knew you were here today."

Arya couldn't bear it any longer and punched Amon ten meters underground. Loyal and the other peeping students silently wiped away cold sweat.

—

Arya thought that she would be able to get rid of Kizaru after arriving on the island, so even though it was a hell-level physical training, she crawled through it happily until Kizaru lazily appeared in front of her. Arya looked up at Kizaru, then lay motionless on the ground in complete despair.

"We haven't seen you for a few days. Are you lazy again? Can't you do this little training?" Kizaru looked at her condescendingly.

Arya didn't even have the energy to roll her eyes: "Teacher Polu, why are you here?"

"I never said you don't have to spar with me after you get to the island, right?" Kizaru knelt down and poked her, "Get up quickly!"

"I won't even get up until I die." Arya immediately broke the jar and threw it.

"Oh? Are you sure?" Kizaru smiled and raised a finger.

The powerful muscle memory made Arya jump up immediately, and a light rubbed across her face and exploded behind her.

"Are you really going to kill me!?" Arya roared and backed away dozens of meters.

"Can't you still move?" Kizaru's eight-foot magatama followed closely behind and launched a large-scale saturation attack directly at Arya.

Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of other students. From then on, the legend spread in the Naval Academy that Arya and the admiral were fighting equally. Although in reality Arya was just trying to avoid the attack in a panic, being pressed to the ground and rubbed against her.

"Your efficiency in avoiding damage is still too low, and physical training is far from enough." Kizaru finally stopped.

"..." Arya couldn't refute. In fact, she knew very well that her own shortcoming was physical fitness. When sparring with Kizaru, I could always manage a few moves at the beginning, but then I quickly became exhausted and found it difficult to even dodge damage. Sometimes she can predict the opponent's attack using her sense of sight, but her physical strength and speed cannot keep up with her brain.

"That's it for today."

"Then are you coming tomorrow?" Arya probed cautiously.

"you guess?"

Arya lowered her head and silently rolled her eyes.

"Shouldn't you be able to hear what I'm thinking?" Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses, a cold look flashing across his face.

Arya didn't notice the change in Kizaru's expression, and explained through gritted teeth: "I can't clearly hear what people who are much stronger than me are thinking."

"So you admit that I'm much better than you?" Kizaru smiled like a ruffled man again.

Although this is true, I really don’t want to admit it with this flat face!

Kizaru's extra training was only occasional, and Arya seriously suspected that he just skipped work to have fun. Every time after sparring with Kizaru, Zefa would increase her physical training. Basically, she never stood and walked back to the dormitory, she always crawled back, or else Loyal would carry her back.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusha Zefa is the devil! How can he torment people so much!" Arya angrily pinched Loyal's neck.

"Cough cough cough...Boss, please let go." Loyal patted Arya's hand helplessly.

Arya let go and sobbed on Loyal's back.

"Boss, don't be sad. Amon went to the canteen and packed a lot of delicious food for you." Loyal comforted him softly.

"I'm so tired that I don't want to eat." Arya said weakly.

"If you don't eat, you won't be able to improve your physical fitness. Teacher Zefa will increase the amount of training." Loyal persuaded and threatened.

"..."

"And if you don't eat, you won't grow taller."

"Loyal! Go to hell!" Arya punched Loyal in anger after being poked in a sore spot.

Life on a desert island has no other entertainment activities except training, and the students' lives are very boring. When graduation was approaching, a group of energetic students got cigarettes and alcohol from nowhere, and started a wave of rebellion.

Although Arya is one of the few female students on the island, because of her too strong strength and tough character, even if Arya looks like a pitiful little white flower, other students will not Treat her as a girl. Then some bold students tried to drag Arya, the legendary number one, into the water, and directly handed her cigarettes to encourage her to try it.

"Primary school girl, are you worried about Teacher Zefa? Don't worry, we have inquired. Teacher Zefa has gone to the pier to pick you up and won't be back for a while." The student smoking a cigarette smiled maliciously. , "Or, elementary school girl, you don't dare to try it?"

"Who do you think you dare not?" Arya punched the student in the face.

"Arya, if you could be gentler, you would be very popular with men." Another student said with emotion.

"Like it? I want some wool for that thing." Arya showed a disgusted expression.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you have the courage, then prove it to us." The student who was taken advantage of got up.

Originally, Arya was not very interested in cigarettes and alcohol, but she had a fatal weakness - she hated being told that she had no courage, so she took the cigarette as soon as she got hot.

It turns out that the decisions you make in the heat of the moment can cause your body to be thrown into an ice cave to cool down, and it is an ice cave in the physical sense.

Arya swore she just took the cigarette and looked at it, not even smelling it. As a result, the next second she was beaten hard by Kuzan's ice, and she was beaten to the ground and could not get up. Arya was stunned. This was the first time that Kuzan beat her so seriously. She raised her head and glanced at the sullen Kuzan, and cold sweat immediately broke out on her back.

"What are you doing?" There was suppressed anger in his cold tone, and Kuzan's general aura was frightening. Looking at Kuzan's elemental right hand, Arya extremely doubted that if she dared to say that she was going to smoke, she would be killed by Kuzan icetime immediately.

"I...I was about to return the cigarettes I picked up to the seniors and the others! I have no intention of trying it at all!" Arya's desire to survive reached its highest point against Kuzan's increasingly cold air.

Kuzan still had a cold face. After glaring at Arya for half a minute, he slipped Arya away without any explanation.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!!!" Arya was so frightened when she saw Kuzan locking the office door with his backhand that she immediately shrank aside and admitted her mistake frantically. Kuzan like this now is completely different from usual, it's really scary.

In fact, we can’t blame Kuzan for reacting so aggressively, because Arya was trafficked as a child and became addicted to drugs. Although she recovered after undergoing long and painful detoxification treatment, she still had sequelae and she became addicted from then on. Due to his physical constitution, he was forbidden by doctors to touch those addictive things.

Kuzan took a deep breath, lost his arrogant aura, and spoke in a cold tone: "Arya, do you still remember the painful treatments you went through when you were a child?"

"How could you not remember?"

"Then you should remember the doctor's advice, right?"

"Of course I remember..." Arya lowered her head guiltily.

"Then what did you want to do just now!?" Kuzan suddenly raised his voice, "If I didn't show up in time, were you going to smoke?"

"No, no, no, it's really not, I was just impulsive because my head was hot! I know I was wrong, don't be angry." Arya held Kuzan's hand and stared at him carefully.

Kuzan stretched out his hand to pinch Arya's cheek. Looking at this pitiful little face, he sighed helplessly: "Can you give me some peace of mind?"

"I will never do it again." Arya raised her hands and swore.

Kuzan nodded, but did not let go of his hand holding Arya's face. After looking around, he frowned: "We haven't seen you for a few months. Why do I feel that you have lost a lot of weight? Are you not eating well? ?The food on the island is not good?”

"No?" Arya, who only eats one meal a day and sleeps the rest of the time, has no sense of self-consciousness.

"I brought you delicious food. You were so angry that you almost forgot that it was made by Granny." Kuzan took out an oversized box.

Arya's eyes lit up immediately when she heard that it was Granny's delicious food. She took the box and wanted to run away.

"What are you going to do?" Kuzan grabbed him, "I haven't seen you for so long, and I just said a few words to you, and you want to run away?"

"I want to eat with Loyal and Amon." Arya felt aggrieved.

It's really not fun anymore when her daughter gets older. Arya used to like to cling to him. Kuzan was filled with emotion.

"In the future, you should have less contact with those messy people, and learn more from Loyal and the others." Kuzan warned nonchalantly.

"I know." Arya waved her hand and skipped away.

The smoking incident ended with Zefa punishing the trainees who smoked and drank twice as hard, but before Kuzan left, he froze the trainee who encouraged Arya to smoke for an hour and openly vented his personal anger.

From then on, Arya had one more legendary deed. She was the only cadet who could stay at the Naval Academy despite being passed over by two generals.

—

Although she was given extra training every day, Arya's physical test results were still on the verge of passing, and Zefa sighed after seeing it. But even so, Arya's other results have always been in the top three, especially in actual combat training, where she directly ranked first, and there was simply no rival among the students.

Time flies and it is time for the graduation assessment. The graduation assessments in previous years have been practical exercises. The graduates are divided into two teams to compete in offensive and defensive positions. Arya still remembers this. When she was 6 years old, there were real pirates mixed into the graduation exam she watched, and she almost lost an eye because of her naughty and disobedient behavior.

While others were chattering excitedly about the graduation exam, Arya was silently praying that no more mysterious pirates would appear to disrupt the exam.

But if God doesn't do what you want, the more you fear something, the more it will come. After Arya easily dispatched the opponent's captain, she heard a large number of discordant sounds on the desert island dock.

Arya listened calmly for a while, confirming that the other party had a good background and a large number of people.

"Pirates are coming!" A student saw a pirate ship on the coast through a telescope.

"It's the Reno Pirates! The rookie pirate group with a bounty of 60 million!" A student recognized the pirate flag.

As soon as they heard that the Reno Pirates' bounty was 60 million, some students became uneasy.

"How did you get into the real pirate group on this deserted island? What are the teachers doing?"

"A new pirate with a bounty of 60 million, how strong must he be!?"

"Generally, this bounty can be used to dispatch the generals and colonels of the headquarters. Can we handle it?"

"They're going to die! They've come ashore and are coming this way!" shouted the student holding a telescope.

"Let's run away quickly, this is really no joke." Some students suggested.

"Hey, why are you running away? How can there be a navy that will run away when it sees a pirate? What's more, there are only a few dozen people on the other side, but there are hundreds of people here. Are you worthy of your study over the years?" Arya rubbed it Holding her fists, she said with disdain that the perfect and smooth graduation exam she had imagined had been ruined, and now she was furious and needed to hit someone to vent her anger.

After listening to Arya's words, the panicked students gradually calmed down, and other students had already loaded the cannons with ammunition. Although I am using less powerful practice bullets, they are better than nothing.

"Stay steady first, wait for my signal before firing..." Before Arya could finish her words, a student fired a cannonball with trembling hands.

"Idiot! Didn't I tell you to wait for my signal?" Arya was so angry that the group of pirates hadn't completely left the pirate ship. Now that the cannonball was fired, their position was directly exposed, and it was so good. The group of people who survived were still within the range of the opponent's cannon.

"Move quickly!" Loyal reacted quickly.

It was too late, Arya had already heard the sound of the opponent's cannon being loaded. Sure enough, a cannonball was fired towards them in the next second. Arya stepped on the moon step, unsheathed her long blade, and split the cannonball with one knife.

The power of real artillery shells was far greater than that of practice shells. The fragments of the split artillery shells fell on both sides of the crowd, leaving two large craters. The group of students who had just calmed down were so frightened that they began to rush around again.

These people were so troublesome that Arya began to dislike them from the bottom of her heart. After thinking for a moment, Arya decided to directly control the team battle with her word spirit. Although this was her first time controlling so many people at the same time, she would rather challenge her limits than comfort those troublesome guys.

【calm】

Everyone calmed down instantly. Arya kicked her legs and made sure that it was okay to control so many people. Then she started to direct the battle without any worries. She spent 2000 yuan on the course "Naval Combat", which was more than enough to fight against the pirate group with a measly million bounty.

Arya felt a little strange while using her voice to control the battle. Logically speaking, with Zefa's speed, he should have dealt with those pirates long ago. Could it be possible...did that guy include this in the graduation assessment? It’s really getting stricter every time.

Arya is very self-aware of her physical ability, so she chose the human sea tactic to face Gang at the front. The battle soon came to an end. Arya controlled the students to tie up Captain Raynor, and at the same time, her physical strength reached its limit.

The moment the word spirit was released, Arya's head suddenly burst into sharp pain, and the next second she lost consciousness.

When she woke up, Arya was back in the very familiar Malinvando's hospital room. The back of her head was still throbbing with pain. Arya reached out and touched it, but she touched a cold instrument.

"You kept complaining that you had a headache when you were in a coma. The doctor was afraid that you had injured your brain." Kuzan sneered, "I think your brain might really be broken."

Arya actually thought about it seriously, and finally agreed with Kuzan's guess: "That's probably it. Didn't I also lose a lot of memories from my childhood?"

Kuzan was almost laughed out of anger: "How could the chief graduate have a brain problem? You single-handedly killed an entire pirate group with a bounty of 60 million. That's great."

Probably because her mind was not clear enough, Arya didn't hear Kuzan's sarcasm for a while: "How could it be possible that I did it alone? I still have a team to work with."

"You use your spirit to control everyone to fight. This is not called teamwork. This is called chronic suicide. How many lives do you have to do this!?" Kuzan's anger suddenly burst out, "Why do you have to take your own life every time? adventure?"

"I...I just want to try." Arya whispered.

"Try it!?"

"I'm sorry I was wrong..." Arya immediately apologized and admitted her mistake.

"You admit your mistakes quickly every time, but you still do it again afterwards." Kuzan pinched his forehead and his voice became colder, "Arya, I told you when you were very young that I can tolerate it. You are willful and naughty, but I cannot allow you to despise your own life like this! On the sea, a naval admiral has to bear the life of the entire fleet, and people who do not know how to cherish life are not qualified to be naval admirals."

"I do not have……"

"Before attending the graduation ceremony, you should reflect on it." Kuzan said with a sullen face and deliberately emphasized his tone, "I will never approve you to become a navy until you really realize your mistake."

After Kuzan finished speaking, he turned and left without hesitation. The broad back suddenly reminded Arya of the time when she was six years old. In front of a large blank memory, the last thing she remembered was the back that turned away like this.
