Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

Two days later, on the high platform of the main square in Marineland, Sengoku's face was red, holding a cloak of justice in his hand, and said to Kuina who was standing in front of him:

"In the name of the Admiral of the Navy, I grant Kuina Shimozuki... the rank of Lieutenant Colonel!"

"Clap la la la~"

Under the high platform, there was a round of applause, and He said to Skyler beside him: "It's a pity. If it weren't for this class, she should be a colonel in any class."

Skyler didn't feel any regret. He clapped his hands lightly and said, "So, it's the majors and captains who are suffering this year, especially the captains. They should have been school-level officers in the past."

"Yes, it just so happens that this year there is such a monster like Luo. The gap between Guina and him is too big, and the gap between other people and Guina is also too obvious."

He nodded. Except for very special circumstances, all other recruits who graduated from the new military camp were awarded the rank of colonel for the first time.

Sengoku and Garp were like this, and so were the three current generals. Skyler was even worse. She was a captain when she graduated.

And Luo's excellence has obviously not exceeded this upper limit. After all, the three generals of red, yellow and green who were older and only joined the recruit camp were even more evil than Luo now.

Luo is a genius, but he has not reached the point where the potential of a general can be seen from the recruit camp like those three. After all, the three generals, red, yellow and green, have been called "monsters" since the recruit camp.

And Guina... Among the mediocre recruits in the past few years, she would definitely be able to secure the rank of colonel, but it was also because Luo was here that she could only take a step back.

Not only did I fail to graduate with first place as I originally thought, but I also lost the privilege of speaking as an outstanding graduate. After all... speaking in front of so many generals is very useful for subsequent promotions.

As far as Skylar herself is concerned, her smooth promotion was due to her rapid growth in strength and the endorsements of Garp and He. The approval of the generals was also very important.

Skyler's justice, the justice within her power, may not even be realized by herself. It is impartial justice. Her origin destined her to be planned into the dove camp.

However, what she does, thinks and says can be recognized by the hawk generals. Therefore, no general in the headquarters is at odds with Skyler.

This is not just because she has Garp and Crane on her back. After all... the people from the hawk faction will not value this. For example, Akainu. If he doesn't agree, what about Sengoku?What about the marshal?

And Akainu and others can also recognize Skyler. In addition to Akainu leading the recruit phalanx and meeting Skyler, a very important reason is that what she thinks and says can be heard by Akainu. This is another opportunity to be recognized.

No one does not need a platform, especially in the navy. If a navy offends a general, the consequences will be too serious.

For example, Smoker, who has no platform to display, no general dares to reuse him just because of Skyler's disapproval. Without a platform and resources, his promotion path is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

However, Skyler has retracted his prejudice against Smoker, but perhaps his own thoughts have also changed. Two years have passed, and he has not applied for promotion, even though Skyler promised that he would write him a letter of recommendation.

The same goes for Kuina. Skyler being her backer does not mean that she will be able to go smoothly. The generals' recognition of Skyler does not mean that they will recognize Kuina.

Of course, Skyler doesn't feel sorry, that's because she is not a rank-only person. After all, in her detachment, there are captains of various combat teams, as well as Nurkic, the adjutant, and other ghosts and monsters.

If you pull any one out, you are qualified to be a general and lead your own detachment, but they are willing to just be a school-level officer for the sake of justice and stick to the new world.

Over the years, Skyler has realized that there are too many things that are more important than military rank, such as strength, connections, and justice. Compared with these, military rank is not very important.

At this time, on the high platform, despite the high spirits of the navy, Guina, who was somewhat disappointed, also left the high platform. Luo, who was wearing a navy uniform, slowly walked towards the position where Guina had just been.

Luo's appearance has attracted the attention of many generals. After all, Luo is now more popular than Skyler back then. He is the undoubted benchmark, and the resources involved are also unimaginable.

He was brought out by Rosinandi, and Rosinandi is the adopted son of the current Navy Marshal Sengoku, and he was trained in the Zhanye Detachment. He successfully entered the Navy, and it was obviously the Zhanye Detachment that was adding fuel to the fire.

The information about Luo's affiliation with the Navy showed that he was the grandson of Navy Chief Instructor Zefa. At the same time, he was extremely talented and a user with the miraculous surgical fruit ability worth 50 billion beli.

If such a new recruit could be recruited into the detachment, then the detachment commander and the entire detachment members would benefit. Luo Ke was not only a recruit, but also a key to promotion.

In addition to the strength and talent he has shown in the past two years, almost no general wants to take him under his wing. Even Akainu is looking at Luo with an investigative gaze.

At this time, Warring States also walked to Luo's side. The concierge beside him was holding a cloak of justice. Compared with the one just now, the epaulettes were somewhat different.

The two experienced each other first. Warring States looked at Luo and became more and more satisfied. When Luo Nandi graduated from the navy recruit camp, he had never been so satisfied.

After all, Rosinandi did not show much talent at that time. This made Sengoku, who chose to devote his life to the navy and poured the expectations and love of future generations into Rosinandi... always felt regretful.

But things are different now. Rosinandi has found a path that suits him, and just like he saved him from the abyss, Rosinandi also saved the child in the abyss in front of him.

However, unlike Rosinandi, Luo has enough talent to carry forward Sengoku's expectations for future generations. There may also be some relatives from another generation at work. The more Sengoku looks at Luo, the more satisfied he becomes.

"In the name of Field Marshal, I confer on Trafalgar Rowe...the rank of Colonel!"

Warring States raised his cloak of justice and then put it on Luo. The two saluted again. Then Warring States put his hands on Luo's thin shoulders and said:

"The word justice is very important. My expectations for you are just like Marshal Kong's expectations for Skyler. Don't let the word justice fall to the ground! Okay, now... let's talk."

Warring States straightened up, patted Luo on the shoulder again, and gave up his position. Luo also knew that this was the process for outstanding graduates to graduate. Unlike others, he felt that this was redundant.

Standing in front of the podium, Luo adjusted the microphone, looked at the generals and navy under the platform, thought for a while, and said: "Teacher Zefa asked me to share my growth secrets for the reference of other navies and future recruits. ...

I have summarized it for a long time and will share my secret with you today. "

Hearing this, many generals nodded in approval, and some marines and recruits who had just finished their commissioning, including Kuina, unconsciously began to listen.

Luo paused for a moment, then said: "Read more, read more newspapers, exercise more and sleep more; get angry less, quarrel less, talk less and worry less.

thank you all. "

After Luo finished speaking, he took half a step back, then saluted, turned and walked towards the exit door. The huge square fell into a brief and eerie silence.

Standing on the high platform, Warring States was almost stunned at this moment. The rosiness on his face had not changed. It was just because of excitement. Now... there were so many mixed feelings that Warring States himself couldn't figure out what he was for a moment. mood.

"Ahahaha~"

"Wow ha ha ha~"

Skyler and Garp were the first to react, and they both laughed exaggeratedly. Then Aokiji, who had no interest in the graduation ceremony but was forced to come, also smiled.

Kizaru looked at the livid Akainu and Zefa who was extremely embarrassed, and chose to say to Zefa: "Teacher Zefa, I think Luo is the best navy you have taught~"

When Kizaru said this, Zefa's face turned red and hesitantly said: "What...what's wrong?! Luo's words are reasonable! And they are concise and concise!

How many navy can do these twenty words? !The so-called greatness leads to simplicity. Those who can do these two sentences and stick to them for a long time are good boys like Luo! "

Hearing Zefa's forced explanation, Skyler burst out laughing, but when she saw Zefa's glare, she still became a little more serious, and then said loudly:

"No way? Do we now expect to gain knowledge without reading? Can we grasp information without reading newspapers? Can we increase our strength without exercising? Work around the clock 24 hours a day without sleeping? No way, no?

I have seen a lot of naval forces who only know how to be competitive and fight bravely. It seems that just talking is an act of justice, and I am the embodiment of justice. "

Although he felt that Skyler's tone was a bit sinister, Zefa still breathed a sigh of relief. At least it helped him to calm down. Akainu, who had just looked livid, now also had a trace of doubt on his face.

'what to do?What Teacher Zefa and Skyler said makes perfect sense!Now that I think about it, Colonel Luo’s words are actually full of profound meaning!Am I too stereotyped?Has anyone ever said that words that must shock people's hearts are the most reasonable words? '

Warring States on the high platform finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Although he also felt that Skyler's words were a bit strange, he at least found some ways to make amends.

As expected of a member of the Monchi family, he is just good at talking nonsense!

Warring States came to the podium, readjusted the microphone, and said: "Some people may question Luo's sincerity, but as Zefa said, simplicity leads to great truth!

The generals who are working here should know better than anyone else that the reason why our navy remains standing in the sea still depends on ordinary people and ordinary things.

When an ordinary person does an ordinary thing for a long time and does it well, he becomes extraordinary.

In fact, Luo today also sounded a wake-up call for me and everyone!Think about how long it has been since we learned new knowledge, and how long it has been since we didn’t work as hard as we did when we were young.

Think again, our navy, think about the word justice behind us, that is our goal!Instead of forming a clique for personal gain, and getting angry and conflicting with your colleagues just for a little fame and fortune!

What our navy wants is ordinary people who do ordinary things to the extreme!Simplicity and persistence are the only ways for the light of justice to spread to every inch of the sea and every bit of land! "

After saying that, Seng Guo took the initiative to applaud, and the navy, whether they were "awakened" by Seng Guo's words or not, all clapped vigorously at this time, which was barely enough.

The graduation ceremony finally came to a successful conclusion. Skyler stood up and was about to leave, but found Akainu blocking him in front of him. Before Skyler could ask, Akainu said:

"Lieutenant General Skyler, I think Colonel Luo is very suitable for my detachment. I am in Marineland all year round and need someone to help me lead the detachment. I believe Colonel Luo can do a good job!"

Skyler's mouth twitched. She just saw clearly that Akainu's face turned completely pale after Luo said those words, but she did not speak directly, but said:

"General Akainu, I understand your high opinion of Luo, but I am not Luo's commander, so why not..."

Skyler looked at He who had already stood up and said hurriedly: "Sister He, can you help me introduce her?"

Hearing this, Akainu finally reacted, and looked at He who was glaring at Skyler with sincere eyes, and said: "Lieutenant General He, I think Colonel Luo is very..."

"I'm not deaf yet."

He directly interrupted Akainu and said with a headache: "General Akainu, although I am responsible for the assignment of new recruits, I always put the recruits' wishes first.

If Luo doesn't have a team he desires yet, I will recommend him to choose your team. "

"Thank you, Lieutenant General He. I thought our previous conflict would make you make a choice that would embarrass me."

Akainu said with a big grin, and He said softly with an elegant and kind smile: "General Akainu is joking and joking, all for the sake of justice. There is no conflict between us, we just have different ideas."

After sending Akainu away, Skyler asked in a low voice: "Sister Crane, you won't let Luo go to General Akainu's detachment, will you?"

"of course not."

He's elegant and kind smile didn't waver at all, and Skyler also showed the same elegant smile, but in comparison, she was a bit sharper.

"Do you want to have dinner together tonight? Warring States will go too."

Capra brought Zefa, who originally wanted to flee the ceremony quickly out of embarrassment, and He nodded. After all, she was alone on weekdays, and it was good for old friends and juniors to get together occasionally.

Skyler shook his head and said, "Lieutenant General Garp, please help take Ace and the others there. I have something else to do."

"Is that so..."

Garp scratched his head and said, "Then come over anytime when you are done."

"Okay, come over when you have time."

Skyler nodded, and they separated for the time being. After all, it was still daytime, and He and Sengoku took the time to come over. Zefa had just finished this new batch of recruits and still had some vacation.

So the two of them went to pick up the children and choose a hotel first, while Skyler came to a place where few people came.

That is the training ground for retired veterans, and it is also the training ground that Skyler is most familiar with. However, he has not been there for several years. Many veterans that Skyler is familiar with, such as Heller... have disappeared.

However, there were also some new faces. Many generals who were still serving when Skyler first joined the Navy also came here. Skyler greeted them casually, but the friendship was not deep and there was nothing to talk about.

Skyler is here to wait for someone, waiting for Kuina.

It didn't take long for Guina to arrive at the training ground. This eldest sister, who was always known for her skills in the recruit camp, now felt a little empty every time she took a step closer to Skyler.

She didn't tell anyone, but in Guina's heart, from the moment she decided to go to the navy, she made a promise herself, that is, to become number one, and then remain number one until graduation.

No one has ever told her about Skyler's criteria for accepting students. After all, Skyler has never accepted a student yet, but Guina believes that only the best can be worthy of being a Skyler student.

This was also the reason why she graduated with second grade but felt guilty when she saw Skyler. She tried her best to slow down, but the distance was only so long, and she finally came to Skyler.

"Skyler in..."

"Do you know what the most important lesson for a swordsman is?"

Just as Guina opened her mouth, Skyler spoke. Guina was stunned and did not answer, because every swordsman's answer was different, and she could clearly hear that Skyler seemed to want to explain it to her.

Skyler looked at Kuina and said: "The most important lesson for a swordsman is when someone knocks the sword off your hand. If you have never failed, you will not know what success is.

In the past two years, I believe you have also experienced what it feels like to always be one step away from success. "

Hearing this, Guina nodded unconsciously. In the past two years, Luo has always been like a big mountain, better than herself in every aspect.

The ensuing "failures" even made Kuina question herself, but the budding sword heart and Zoro's persistence over the years still allowed Kuina to persevere.

In the past two years, she has never been able to catch up with Luo, but she has never let Luo further distance herself. This situation of being so close to success but out of reach made Guina very painful, but it also made her the first A desperate desire to win.

Skyler slowly pulled out Obsidian and White Fang, and said, "I heard from Teacher Zefa that you have learned Armament Haki. Have you tried tempering the black sword?"

Guina nodded and said: "I tried, but... I have never been able to find what Teacher Zefa said... the feeling that you had when you poured the armament-colored domineering energy into the sword body, making the sword transparent everywhere."

Skyler looked at the two knives in his hands. Obsidian had been tempered into black knives, but White Fang remained the same. Then Skyler looked at Kuina and said:

"Your father, or your grandfather, should have told you that each sword has its own personality. If you don't understand shuriken and don't recognize shuriken, then no amount of armed color and domineering will be of any use.

Just like these two knives, I understood Obsidian's indomitability and lack of mercy, so it became a black knife. But with this White Fang, I cannot agree with its extreme use of any means, so it cannot be in my hands. Become the Black Knife.

The same is true for the grand palace scene in your hand. Can you tell me what it wants? "

Kuina put her hand on the handle of Omiya Shengjing's knife, was silent for a while, and then shook her head.

Skyler nodded, sheathed the two knives again, and said: "You have two choices next, either read her before I cut it off, or... treat it as a piece of equipment that can be used at any time. Replace the tool and let it break.”

As soon as the words fell, Guina's eyelids twitched suddenly. Skyler's words were firm and emotionless, as if she really didn't care about the grand scene of the palace. At the same time, Guina's brain kept reflecting on the overwhelming news. Sense of danger.

"呲~"

Without any reason, Guina stood directly behind and placed her hands on the grand palace scene. She looked closely at Skyler, who did not move at all.

But Guina knew that if she had hesitated just now, Skyler would have already drawn his sword and slashed. But if she realized and reacted, Skyler's sword would be useless, so Skyler did not continue. move.

The expression on Skyler's face did not change at all, and she slowly pulled out Gu Yuzuo. She was best at the two-sword style. In the melee, the three-sword style was also extremely deadly. Her weakest point was the one-sword style.

When the sword power and power are poured into a certain point, Skyler may be able to perform a sword-style slash that even Mihawk is not sure can match, but... when you have two black swords that you fully understand and master. When it comes to swordsmanship, one-sword style has naturally become a weakness.

However, Skyler's weakest point is also the point that countless swordsmen have been unable to reach in their lifetime.

Moreover, Skyler himself has not learned the complete system of Ittou-style swordsmanship, but just because he has not learned it, it does not mean that Skyler does not know how to do it.

Although she doesn't have Mihawk's ability to comprehend everything at a glance, Skyler has fought countless Itto-style swordsmen over the years, including Mihawk, who is undoubtedly the strongest swordsman of the Itto-style. .

It's just that Skyler can't copy Mihawk's swordsmanship. After all, the ancient royal sword in her hand is not a black sword. There are differences in weight, size, center of gravity and even the shape of the sword.

But at Skyler's level, all swordsmanship has long been able to draw inferences by analogy. Maybe he can't do it as well as Mihawk, but it is more than enough to deal with Kuina, a swordsman who has just entered the palace.

Guina grasped the handle of the knife with her left hand, slightly pushing the tangent with her thumb and index finger, and held the handle of the knife with her right hand. The breath of all things taught by her father came to her mind at this moment.

Unlike two years ago, Kuina has mastered the Armed Haki and the Wisdom Haki. As for the breath of all things, she can only cut off other people's swords from the beginning, and has reached the true state of cutting iron.

Like Skyler, a 16-year-old swordsman.

However, the breath of all things that Kuina has mastered suddenly failed when she targeted Skyler and the black knife in her hand.

Guina frowned. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing. Skyler seemed to be intact, which made Guina feel incredible.

Everyone who wields a sword or other weapon must have a strong point and a weak point. When Kuina faces such an opponent, perhaps her strongest point is not as good as the opponent's, and her average strength is not as good as the opponent's.

However, she can always find the weakest point in her opponent's attack and win.

Even Zefa, Kuina can detect the weakest point in Zefa's attack, but Zefa's weakest point is stronger than Kuina's current strongest point.

However, Skyler, who was taking steps forward with the knife in hand, showed a perfect state. It seemed that every point of her was balanced, or every point was the strongest.

Guina's right hand began to hesitate. She didn't dare to hold the knife, let alone draw it. Her mind was focused on Skyler, and she even forgot that Skyler was already in front of her.

"Being strict will breed weakness. You have to trust the sword in your hand more."

Skyler raised his hand and swung the knife.

There is no slashing, just...swinging.

When the blade was approaching, Guina seemed to realize it and hurriedly drew her sword to attack.

"clang lang lang~"
