Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

After the quarrel in the marshal's office, Skyler came to the boot camp, and Garp did not come with him. After all, he was the enemy tonight and had to choose the venue in advance.

Since this year Zefa did not need to take the intern ship out for graduation assessment, the elite camp was divided early, and the three people who gave him the most headache also entered the elite camp smoothly.

When Skyler came to the elite camp, he was surprised to find that Zefa, who was originally very focused on teaching, actually set up a tea shed outside the elite camp and sat in it to drink tea comfortably.

On Zefa's behalf, it was an unexpected person named Skyler who trained the recruits of the elite battalion... Admiral Akainu Sakaski of the Navy Headquarters...

Skyler walked to Zefa and saw that Zefa had poured tea for herself. She was not polite and directly pulled another recliner over and rocked it leisurely.

"Teacher Zefa, am I crazy or is General Akainu crazy?"

After taking a sip of tea, Skyler said easily. When Zefa heard this, he had a strange smile on his face and said, "Sakaski was sneaking around the recruit camp some time ago.

Once when I caught him red-handed, he lied and claimed that he was observing whether Roger's son and Kaido's daughter were undercover agents. Hahaha~ In fact, I had already noticed that it was really difficult for him to stay in the headquarters.

So I reluctantly asked him to serve as a teaching assistant in the actual combat class. This kid actually took it seriously. If you had been assigned to his phalanx back then, maybe the journey would not have been so bumpy. "

Skyler glanced at Akainu, who was holding a pointer, and he shook his head with a smile, and said: "General Akainu is indeed much more active than General Kizaru. When I was in the training camp, I also General Akainu is often seen.

But... things are unpredictable. If I had been training with General Akainu at that time, maybe it would not be so bumpy as you said, but maybe I wouldn't be able to progress so fast? "

"Working under that bastard Porosalino is indeed very suitable for a person with extraordinary talents like you, but...how many people like you are there in the navy?

Porusalino has led soldiers for so many years, but he only brought out one you and half Stoloberg. "

What Skyler just said was undoubtedly a good word for Kizaru, almost instinctively. Zefa habitually insulted Kizaru, but Skyler did not refute. .

After all...the year when Akainu and Kizaru were in charge of the new military camp, their performances were really very different.

Although what Kizaru did was not considered a violation, after all, there was no need for the commander of the Phalanx to keep an eye on the recruits. If there were no Akainu, Kizaru's behavior would not have been excessive.

But everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with Akainu, who usually performed a large number of cruise missions and could still spare enough time to supervise new recruits, Kizaru, who did not complete tasks and was unwilling to supervise new recruits, was indeed too much.

"Actually, you are also biased. You let General Akainu temporarily train the new recruits in your place. Isn't it just to let these recruits remember General Akainu's kindness?"

Skyler and Zefa have a very deep teacher-student relationship, so Skyler didn't hide it and said it directly.

Zefa nodded and said: "Even me, this is inevitable. Just look at Porusalino and Kuzan, which one is still motivated? In ten years, it is estimated that only Sakaski will be left." One person can go up."

Skyler, like Garp, has made it clear that he is unwilling to be promoted to general. If he is not promoted to general, there is no way to become a marshal. The rest...except for Akainu among the three generals, it seems that no one can hold the position of marshal. .

"The Marshal of the Warring States Period is so humble that he only wants to save face. If someone else were to be the Marshal, he would probably be furious by now."

After Skyler finished speaking, the teachers and students looked at each other with evil smiles. If someone with more selfish motives were to be the current marshal, such behavior as Zefa would probably be unacceptable.

But having said that, if another person was the marshal, maybe Zefa would not make the choice to let Akainu take charge of the elite camp in the new military camp.

"Tonight's New Year's banquet and Ace's birthday banquet. Do you want to ask General Akainu to come with us?"

Hearing this, Zefa thought for a while and said, "Then you must be prepared to be rejected by Sakaski three or five times, and finally show your unwillingness to attend the banquet."

"It's expected."

Skyler shrugged, and Zefa slowly stood up and asked, "Would you like to meet these children?"

"Then let's take a tour. Anyway, it's still some time before dinner, and I can't bear to drink tea all the time."

Skyler also stood up and followed Zefa towards the center of the training camp. When Akainu saw Zefa and Skyler arriving, he also walked out of the queue and asked with a smile:

"Teacher Zefa, Lieutenant General Skyler."

"Admiral Akainu, has the new warship been settled?"

Skyler also smiled and said hello, Akainu nodded and said: "It has been confirmed that Katrin Dieme has the ability to be resurrected. Now the headquarters is asking for some information and will contact the World Government after the New Year.

Vice Admiral He also approved my application for a new warship. She said she would try her best to negotiate with Dr. Vegapunk. "

As Akainu spoke, he suddenly noticed that the recruits seemed to be distracted. He turned around and wanted to scold him, but found that they were all paying attention to Skyler, so he did not speak.

Zefa also answered the question at the right time: "Skyler, would you like to say a few words?"

"what can I say?"

Skyler originally wanted to shirk it, but after noticing the admiring looks of the recruits, he nodded and asked, "Do you know me?"

"Report! Acquaintance!"

Yamato shouted, and Skyler stared directly at him. She lowered her head a little aggrievedly. She really knew him.

The other recruits did not dare to speak. After all, not everyone was like those three monsters and could not be afraid of General Akainu and Teacher Zefa.

"Take a break!...dismissed!"

Akainu also saw the restraint of the new recruits, so he simply temporarily disbanded the team. The queue also loosened a little, and they all gathered slightly towards Skyler.

"Vice Admiral Skyler, it's because of you that I joined the Navy!"

A blushing little girl shouted, not blushing, but more like the excitement of a star chaser when seeing her idol. Skyler raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't become another person because of anyone.

I hope that no matter who you become in the end, it will not be for another person, but for yourself.

Even if any of you choose to join the navy because of me, remember that the training is yours, the harvest is yours, the pain is also yours, and the gains and losses are yours.

I won't gain or lose anything from this, so remember, when you improve through training, you are improving for yourself, not for me.

On the other hand, if something happens to you, don't blame me. I can't bear your compliments, nor can I bear your complaints. "

Skyler said, clasping his hands together as if begging for mercy, which made many recruits laugh. Zefa and Akainu were both people who were stingy with laughter and praise.

So even if Skyler told a joke that wasn't really a joke, it would make them feel relaxed and comfortable.

Zefa, who had hardly smiled in the training camp, now grinned very generously.

He was not moved by this unfunny joke, but he saw Skyler's sobriety. If it were that bastard Garp, he should have already put his hands on his hips and talked about the great achievements of his achievements, right?

"Is there anything you want to ask me? I meant something more specific."

Skyler waited for the recruits to relax before she asked. A boy about the same age as Ace raised his hand. Skyler nodded to him, and then the boy asked:

"Lieutenant General Skyler, do you find training hard?"

Skyler nodded, and the boy continued to ask: "Then how do you persist?"

This question was asked, and many recruits echoed it. It was fine in the recruit camp before, and the training intensity was not that high. But since entering the elite camp, the training intensity has immediately increased, and every day has been miserable.

In the past half month, after General Akainu took over, the amount of training was even more terrifying. During the day training, they did not even dare to complain because they were afraid of Akainu. But one night, in the recruits' dormitory, there were continuous sounds of sobbing and whimpering. .

At this time, Akainu's face looked a little ugly, because in his opinion, only intense training can ensure progress. Countless marines, including Akainu, Skyler and others, have survived this way.

It's just... not everyone can digest it all with a strong heart like Akainu.

Skyler thought for a while and said: "Are you persisting like this? Have you ever experienced that... you may starve to death, you may be killed, or... other experiences that are enough to threaten your life and comfort? ?"

Most of the recruits shook their heads. Skyler pushed up his sunglasses and said: "I have had that experience, so when I can't hold on anymore, I will think about my own death.

Then think about it again, if I can persist and become stronger, will anything change?

After that, it’s the motivation to move from living to living a better life.Now...I don't even think about pain anymore.

Because I have understood that pain is not a phase, it will always follow you, so I chose to accept it and use every pain as a reminder that I am making progress.

This is what I have experienced and what I am still experiencing...the feeling of training. I hope it can be helpful to you. "

Skyler spoke in a relaxed tone, but many recruits lowered their heads in shame, feeling that their past complaints were like children making nonsense.

Even Zefa gently patted Skyler on the shoulder. Skyler herself was not as deeply touched as these people. She had indeed experienced the period of life she was talking about.

Before she first came to this sea and before she met Crocodile, she was indeed anxious every day about whether she would starve to death and whether she would be killed.

But when it comes to recalling it, there is really no bitterness, because the memory of that period of time... She lived a fulfilling life every day, which cannot be said to be fulfilling, but rather tense.

I was so nervous that I had no time and space left to feel sorry for myself. I was so nervous that I couldn’t feel sad about the spring and autumn. And after that, my life was getting better every day, so how could I be bitter?

Seeing the bitterness of these recruits, Skyler smiled and shook his head and said: "I don't know what you are thinking now, but it must be different from what I am thinking.

Let’s talk about something else, Ace. Do you have anything to ask? "

"what?"

Ace was a little confused when he was suddenly called. Shouldn't he be listening to his aunt's story about that year?Why speak for yourself?Stunned for a moment, he scratched his head and said awkwardly:

"I don't have anything to ask. I train and study here every day, and sleep when I get back to the dormitory..."

"Hahaha~"

After hearing Ace's words, many recruits laughed and were pulled back from the atmosphere just now. Many people were teasing Ace, including Yamato and Pony.

Zefa and Akainu also smiled, but... they were satisfied with Ace's answer. This is the best state of a recruit.

Of course, these two people also have a lot of credit for Ace's condition. If they hadn't arranged enough additional training, Ace's terrifying energy would probably have caused a stir in the headquarters.

"Hahaha~" Skyler also smiled, then looked at Bonny and asked: "Bonnie? What about you? Do you have anything to ask?"

When Skyler suddenly asked a question, Pony was also stuck. Suddenly, she understood what was going on with Ace's helpless embarrassment just now.

After holding it back for a long time, Bonny finally thought of a question and asked: "Lieutenant General Skyler, I feel that my progress has not been obvious recently. For this reason, I have continued to increase the amount of training, but it still has no effect."

Bonny's question did not resonate with many people. After all, the recruit camp had just opened at this time. Almost all the recruits were in the "novice welfare period" and were progressing very quickly. It was difficult to understand Bonny's feelings.

But now that she has asked this question, everyone also wants to hear Skyler's answer. After all, what if they encounter such a situation in the future?

Skyler did not answer quickly this time. After all, this question was indeed difficult, and it was not that easy to answer.

After all, physical training and physical skills training will eventually reach this plateau. Countless strong people have experienced it, and everyone's method of getting out of trouble is also different, which is very low for reference.

Take Skyler herself, she has also gone through this process, but... ever since the bear slapped her life force away, she has spent it in a daze.

Seeing Skyler gradually frowning, Pony began to become nervous. She began to wonder if all her talents had been realized and she could no longer make progress.

After a while, Skyler replied: "I can't give you an answer that can solve your problem, but I still want to tell you that mountains can become big because they don't allow soil; rivers and seas don't allow small streams, so they can become big." Its deep.

Don't reject progress, even if it's just a little bit. "

"I understand, Lieutenant General Skyler."

Bonny nodded, remembering Skyler's teachings, and also remembered Akainu. Skyler saw Akainu's upper and lower lips opening and closing from the corner of his eye.

If you look closely, you can actually secretly recite the words Skyler just said.

Skyler did not pay attention to Akainu's behavior, but looked at the recruits again. Yamato was very excited at this time, raising her hands, she thought, Skyler asked Ace and Pony, it was her turn to ask questions, right? ?

Skyler's eyes moved, and Yamato squeezed through the crowd until his figure appeared in Skyler's field of vision. Skyler had no choice but to nod and asked:

"Yamato, do you have anything to ask?"

"Report! I want to ask when I can defeat Kaido!"

Ace is Roger's son, and Yamato is Kaido's daughter. This is no secret in the elite camp, so it's not too abrupt for Yamato to ask this question.

Skyler did not think this time and said: "When you are stronger than Kaido, you will be able to defeat Kaido."

"..."

"Hahaha~"

The training ground was silent for a second, and then bursts of laughter broke out. Skyler didn't even cover up his perfunctory behavior. Yamato stamped his feet in anger, and pits appeared on the ground.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Skyler looked at the other recruits. In the following time, Skyler answered some questions from the recruits. Most of them were about training, and some were about real naval careers.

Skyler answered them all, perhaps not in detail, but he also told them everything that needed to be said.

However, time would pass very quickly when chatting. Unknowingly, the disbandment bell rang, and Akainu realized that he had given these new recruits a two-hour holiday.

Thinking about how to get back these two hours tomorrow, and whether to squeeze in the geography class or the ordnance class, Akainu walked towards the outside of the training ground.

Akainu is a recognized banquet insulator in the Navy. Even at gatherings of hawk generals, Akainu would not be called, so he would not even think about whether there would be any dinner party after Skyler returned to the headquarters.

"General Akainu."

Skyler called out to him. Akainu turned around and asked seriously: "Lieutenant General Skyler, what's the matter?"

Judging from his appearance, Skyler always wanted to give orders. When it came to his work attitude, Akainu was impeccable, but at this time... it was not the time to work.

"General Akainu, Lieutenant General Garp, Lieutenant General Tsuru, Marshal Sengoku, Teacher Zefa, me, and Ace are having a dinner tonight, and I would like to invite you to come with us."

After Skyler finished speaking, a trace of confusion appeared on Akainu's face. The word "dinner" sounds so familiar, but... what does that mean?

It took a few seconds for Akainu to fully understand Skyler's invitation, but he shook his head and said, "No need, Lieutenant General Skyler. Dinner gatherings between generals can easily be interpreted as factional attraction. I have always been opposed to it." This, so..."

"I thought we were friends already."

Akainu's rejection had been expected by Skyler and Zefa, so Skyler did not feel surprised, but rather tactfully invited him again with some weirdness.

But Akainu couldn't tell what was yin and yang, so he frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Lieutenant General Skyler, I think we can be called friends. But I don't understand...why do you think we are friends?" no."

"..."

Skyler was silent, thought for a while, and asked: "Why does General Kizaru usually invite you over for tea? I mean, what excuse did he use to trick you into coming over?"

"He said he had something important to discuss with me."

"We have something important to discuss with you tonight. I will send you the address and time later."

After Skyler finished speaking, Akainu's face suddenly showed a hint of disdain, and he said, "Lieutenant General Skyler, do you think I'm stupid? You lied to me in front of me?"

"Admiral Akainu, you should know that as a naval general, sometimes we have to use some means, even deception, to achieve our goals."

Skyler immediately turned away from Akainu's poker face, which was just as businesslike as before, and said, "I just wanted to express my discussion with you in a more tactful way, so I used the excuse of a dinner party."

Hearing this, Akainu frowned, thought for a while, and said, "You mean... you have something important to discuss with me, but you chose to use a dinner party as an excuse?"

Skyler completely turned the whole thing around, but she still nodded confidently at this time. At least Akainu couldn't see that Skyler had any guilt.

"If that's the case...I'll be there then."

Akainu also regained his serious poker face, nodded, and turned to leave.

After Akainu left the training ground, Zefa came over and said, "Although Sengoku often gets sick sometimes and says weird things, he also speaks one sentence very well.

Your nonsense is really strong. "

Skyler smiled and said, "It's all Teacher Zefa who taught you well!"

"I didn't teach you nonsense, that was all taught by Garp and Xiaohe!"

Zefa quickly distanced himself from the relationship. He had been an honest man all his life and a soldier for most of his life. He couldn't afford to be infamous in his old age.

As for Garp and Crane... Garp doesn't care about being scolded at all. He has been scolded all the way through his naval career. In recent years, except for Skyler, a new generation of bastards, Garp has only been scolded as many times as in the same period last year. decreased.

And He, others didn't dare to call her a name, so when the blame fell on He, others knew about it and believed it to be true, so they could only swallow their anger and not dare to speak nonsense.

But Zefa cannot bear this reputation. After all, unlike Garp, who doesn't care about feathers at all, he also doesn't have the scheming and methods to "retaliate" on others like Crane.

In a few years, when he resigns as chief instructor, he will become an ordinary retired veteran. If someone criticizes him, he will not be able to clarify it, so... he must not get involved!

Seeing Zefa's unlucky and resistant look, Skyler burst out laughing. She knew Zefa was just joking, and Zefa just showed off his beauty, then shook his head and resumed his smile. , said:

"I'll bring someone else to the party tonight."

"Who?"

"Ain...Ace, Yamato and Pony are the cultural class instructors."

Hearing this, Skyler also stopped smiling, looked at Zefa, and said, "Teacher Zefa, you are so cruel! I have to thank Ain in person tonight."
