One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 43 Zefa

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

Chief Instructor's Office.

late at night.

The cool sea breeze of Marinefando Port carried the sound of soldiers sleeping echoing outside the window.

The bright lights in the office dispel the loneliness of the night.

On the messy desk, a navy cape symbolizing justice is placed on the table.

The owner of the cloak was standing in front of the window, staring at Malevando in the night.

He has a tall build, a determined face, and short purple hair.

The scars on his chest mark his exploits.

Looking through the resumes of this class of students, Zefa's old face showed regret and he sighed softly.

Although they are all excellent, "mere excellence cannot suppress the sea awakened by Roger."

Sighing, Zefa murmured to himself that after all, he could not compare to the three Sakaskis.

Suddenly, Zefa seemed to remember something and took out the resume sent by someone from Warring States this morning from the desk drawer.

"Garp's granddaughter?"

Unexpectedly, the old guy actually has a granddaughter.

What a lovely girl...

Holding An's resume, Zefa recalled his dead son.

If her son hadn't died, he would have been almost as old as her.

Maybe the two of them can get married, Zefa showed a gentle smile.

Zefa, the general who does not kill, and Sengoku Garp are strong men active in the previous era, but Zefa believes in "the justice of no killing."

During those years of chasing pirates on the sea, Zefa rarely killed pirates and gave them a chance to change every time.

Maybe it's God's will...

Finally one day, the pirates who were released by Zefa found Zefa's wife and son.

But they didn't let Zefa's family go like Zefa did.

Since then, the navy's non-killing generals have completely disappeared, replaced by Zefa, who is decisive in killing.

"Pirates should die." Zefa's hand holding his resume became stronger without realizing it.

A powerful devil fruit, mastering two-color Haki, and recognizing the justice of the Navy.

Humph, it’s all fancy, but I don’t know what it actually looks like.

During the years that Zefa has served as the chief instructor, he has received countless gorgeous resumes, and he has high expectations every time.

But when people actually came to the headquarters training camp, they found that every one of them was exaggerated.

Cough cough cough...

Zefa let out a quick cough and coughed hard at the treatment medicine he carried with him in his pocket.

My body is getting worse day by day...

I don’t know how many more training camps I can lead...

The most unseen thing in the world is that heroes grow old and beauties grow old.

……

Navy training camp square.

In the huge square, a number of outstanding naval officers from all over the world gathered here.

Everyone in the square took advantage of the fact that the instructor hadn't arrived yet, and greeted their colleagues around them, telling them about the customs of the world.

"Sister, what happened next?"

In the corner of the square, a thin figure was entangled with another figure.

Sally, there is no future!

ah! Why don’t you, sister, beat that “strong-mouthed man” to death?

An twitched the corner of her mouth, you went too far!

As for why Sally is here, this is the surprise that Cap said.

According to Sally, after they were sent to Shieldstown, the local navy tested them.

Sally became a Marine because she excelled in her tests.

Later, because of his good performance in the navy, he was sent to the headquarters by the naval base commander for further training.

After some small talk, Sally began to talk about the news he had found out in the past few days.

Sally and her group of training camp students arrived in three days, while An arrived on the last day because of Karp.

Sister, I have found out in the past few days that there are a few students in our group who need special attention.

He was the first one, Sally pointed with her little finger.

Ann looked up and saw on Sally's little finger a young man with a cock head of about 17 or 8 years old.

Sister, he is Mori from the Nanhai Branch 156, a peacock man who ate the peacock fruit.

Morrie, who was chatting with someone, felt that he was being watched.

Looking back at the two beauties An and Lisa, Morrie reached out and stroked his cockscomb under their gazes.

Seeing this scene, Sally quickly began to introduce others.

Morrie was very puzzled by this and asked his companions around him, "Isn't it cool for me to do this?"

The companions raised their hands in response to "Tai Ku La".

……

Click, click, click, and with the sound of footsteps, the noise in the square disappeared.

Every once in a while, a group of military officers appeared in everyone's sight.

The two leaders were Zefa and Garp.

Chief Instructor Zefa! Lieutenant General Garp!

After the two appeared, all the students in the square greeted them excitedly.

Is that Zefa?

Feeling Zefa's aura, he looked at his grandpa and thought to himself, "Time is really fond of grandpa."

At the same age, Zefa's strength has obviously weakened a lot.

But if anyone underestimates Zefa because of this, he will definitely pay a heavy price.

Stepping out, Zefa spoke loudly: "You are all elites selected by the Sihai Branch."

"I also read your resumes yesterday, and they were all written perfectly."

"But! I don't believe the information on the resume, I only believe my own eyes."

"Next, I will ask the officers behind me to assess you. If you fail, I will tell him to get out."

After Zefa finished speaking, strong discussions broke out in the crowd.

Seeing the dissatisfied people, Zefa shouted loudly.

Shut up! !

“If you can’t even pass such a simple test, then go back to Sihai as soon as possible.

"The Grand Line is not a place to play house. Countless sailors die here every year."

"Those without strength and talent are left here to die."

Think of your families!

Do you understand?

Understood!

Most of the students knew that what Zefa said was true and responded quickly.

A small number of other students still hold on to their own illusions.

After receiving the student's response, Zefa waved to the officer behind him to start the test.

One piece of machinery was moved out and the officers quickly debugged it...

After the debugging was completed, the officer told everyone that the scores were divided into four levels: S, A, B, and C. If the score was lower than C, it was not qualified.

Then the officer called people to come up for testing.

The first Fern.

……

After some testing, the officer announced that Furman's grade was a B.

second sally

When Sally walked up to the officer, everyone in the audience was whispering.

You can come to the training camp at such a young age, so you can’t go through the back door!

cut! If you can't pass the first round of tests, you'll probably go home crying.

……

Listening to the voices in the audience, Sally felt no fluctuation in her heart.

After a few months of naval career and the previous encounter with the Iron Bull Pirates, Sally no longer cared about what others thought of her.

She only cares about whether she can be strong enough to shut up others!

I heard everyone talking about Sally.

An Mo kept these people in mind and looked for opportunities to teach them a lesson.

While Ann was thinking this, Sally's test on the stage had ended.

Then the officer announced that Sally's grade was an A, and everyone who had just been talking fell silent.

The test continues...

The third……

the fourth……

……

An was the last one to take the test. When the officer announced that An's score was S, no one in this class dared to look down on An and Sally.

If they knew that An only used 3% of his strength, I don't know what they would think.

After the test, Zefa came over with everyone's results.

Shaking away the report card in his hand, Zefa kicked out a dozen students with grades lower than C on the spot from the training camp.

After clearing away those who fished in troubled waters, Zefa continued: "To those who can stay here, congratulations on becoming trainees of this naval training camp."

When the remaining students heard Zefa's words, their faces showed joy.

Teacher Zefa is very familiar with hitting a big stick and giving a sweet date.

Next, let’s continue with our second test, actual combat.

This time Lieutenant General Karp and I will be your referees.

What! Instructor Zefa and Lieutenant General Garp served as referees, and everyone was excited when they heard the news.

Everyone begins to fantasize, "If you are valued by the two big guys, your future will be bright."

Gearing up, everyone is waiting for Zefa to announce the actual battle list.
