One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Chapter 145 Playing style issues

There is still debate over whether those with abilities that rely on Devil Fruit are really powerful.

Navy recruit instructor [Black Arms] Zefa is obviously of the "don't rely too much on devil fruit abilities" group.

However, the three newly appointed navy admirals: Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji, although they are all Zefa's students, they are also natural devil fruit ability users.

There is no doubt about the strength of the three of them, so even though Zefa is slightly worried about this, there is nothing he can do about it.

However, he still hopes that his students can have more "own strength" in case of emergencies.

…

"Although it is just a vague rumor, I am still a little worried after all..."

Zefa sighed heavily.

"No matter what, devil fruits are things of unknown origin. You must be more careful when using 'external forces'."

"..."

False rumors?

Lindsay heard something interesting.

But the deeper information clearly belongs to the Navy's secrets, and Zefa would not disclose it if pressed further.

However, there is another more important point -

Regarding Zefa's "educational philosophy," Lindsay does not fully agree.

…

"The style of play is too rigid!"

Lindsay leaned down, helped the injured navy recruits up, and took them to a corner to place them.

He patted the injured recruit on the shoulder and suggested: "When facing a siege, it is not necessary to unite together. After all, the opponent is not a master of teamwork. It is better to break through dispersedly."

"That's true about that."

Zefa agreed with Lindsay's words, but changed the topic and retorted: "However, you must maintain a certain degree of contact with your teammates to prevent unexpected situations, and you must not go your own way."

Navy recruit: "..."

He felt that both sides made sense, so he could only nod his head.

…

Blah blah blah...

At the same time, rustling footsteps were heard outside the steel factory.

The one who comes is not good.

But at this time, Zefa and Lindsay were still arguing about the focus of training for ability users.

Lin Daodao: "Fruit ability is also potential."

Zefa shook his head, "But it's not the first priority after all."

"..."

"Hey, we found someone!"

An evil voice came.

It turned out to be another group of thugs. They noticed the sound of fighting here, so they followed them all the way and met the people who had just finished the fighting.

Seeing that several sailors were seriously injured and only two of them were still standing, the leader couldn't help but become excited.

"Damn it, where did so many marines come from? I'll kill you all!"

"..."

Zefa tilted his head.

Lindsay spread her hands.

Zefa suggested: "Continue the discussion?"

Lindsay twisted her arm and said, "Okay."

…

"Kill!"

A thug rushed over.

Lindsay rushed forward, grabbed the thug by the collar, and then threw him away cleanly, embedding him directly into the wall next to him.

At the same time, he also commented: "The upper limit of an ability user depends on one's own imagination, which coincides with the tactical thinking."

"..."

"asshole!"

Another thug rushed forward and slashed at Zefa with a knife.

Zefa dodged sideways, armed domineering energy surged into his arms, and he aimed two punches at the man's abdomen.

boom! boom!

The man's body suddenly sunk in two pieces, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground.

At the same time, Zefa retorted: "In addition to tactics, the body itself is more important to a person's strength and weakness. You can't think too far."

Lindsay hugged the next thug's neck and asked confused: "Why?"

"Because one's 'time' is never enough."

Zefa held the oncoming blade with one hand and said seriously:

"Even if we work together, human time is always limited. We don't have enough time to spend on all kinds of unconstrained trial and error."

"..."

"But there has to be some freedom."

Lindsay grabbed a thug's musket, broke it in half, and held the gunpowder and projectiles in his hand.

He grabbed a random person, stuffed the object in his hand into his mouth, and then slapped him hard.

boom!

The gunpowder and projectiles exploded, and the man's mouth was filled with smoke and he fell unconscious.

Seeing this, Zefa shook his head helplessly.

"Brother, we are the Navy."

He continued to deal with the thugs while sighing: "Our duty is not to enjoy fighting, but to uphold the justice we bear."

"We have no chance of being 'wrong'!"

"Once defeated, we will most likely end up at sea or in another country, so we cannot lose even once."

"People who rely too much on their abilities will one day be targeted, find their weaknesses, and then die."

"..."

Lindsay punched a thug away, "So..."

Zefa grabbed a brick and hit another one who was preparing for a sneak attack.

"So, it's not that I am against using fruit abilities. The key is the issue of 'sequence' of training key points."

Lindsay understood.

"Really, do I seem to be an extreme person?"

Zefa took a long breath and murmured: "Take the basics first, and if you still have the energy left, develop the fruit ability!"

Lindsay kicked the last thug away, still not entirely convinced.

"Isn't it good to develop according to instinct and be integrated?"

"..."

…

Regarding education issues, Lindsay and Zefa fully exchanged views with each other.

Although there are still differences, I finally understand a little bit.

The two settled the navy recruits in their hands and continued to wander around the Seven Waters Capital, searching for possible clues.

Take action from time to time to deal with some of the missing thugs.

But more often than not, these thugs are dealt with by the navy recruits, without much effort from the two of them.

…

Seeing another group of thugs being dealt with by the navy recruits, Zefa couldn't help but patted a navy recruit on the back.

"Good job, you brat!"

"is teacher!"

The navy recruit nodded with a smile and continued to support other places.

"but……"

After the navy recruits left, Zefa couldn't help but rub his chin and said doubtfully:

"The thugs in the city have almost been dealt with, why haven't anything unusual been discovered yet?"

"..."

Looking at Mr. 0 again, he was looking down in deep thought, but due to the mask, his expression could not be seen at all.

"Did you notice something?"

"No."

Lindsay shook her head and explained: "I was thinking about how my little girls should exercise in the future."

"Little girl?"

Zefa was stunned and even more puzzled.

Turning around to look at the landmark, they found that they had arrived near Dock No. 5, where Tom's studio was located.

Just as he was about to suggest that the two of them go back to Tom's studio to have a look, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the other side of the nearby wall.

The next second——

boom!

The fence is damaged.

Uta rushed out in turn, knocking several thugs away.

Robin, plus a group of Tom Studio members, followed closely behind her and successfully broke through.

When Tom saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said:

"Tahahahahaha, what a resounding little girl!"

"Hehe, I'm super strong!"

Uta smiled heartily, turned around and saw Lindsay and Zefa not far away.

"Lin...Mr.0!"

Just now, Crocodile went back to Tom's studio and synchronized information with everyone, so Uta and the others all knew about the Navy and Mr. 0.

She was carrying a huge musical note and ran over in a bounding motion. Zefa beside her couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long time, Zefa murmured: "Is this style of play... a bit too free?"

"After all, it's not the navy, so what does it matter!"

Lindsay put her arm around Zefa's shoulders and laughed with the same pride.

He now somewhat understands the "instructor's" mood.

…

Several people successfully merged and wiped out the surrounding thugs.

The riot was about to end.

Tom couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahahahaha, I really caused trouble for everyone this time, I will definitely remember your kindness!"

"..."

Lindsay and Zefa looked at each other.

Of course it's not troublesome, but this feeling of uncertainty still exists, making the two of them unable to be happy.

At this moment, the residents of the Seven Waters Capital who had taken refuge around them also came out one after another after seeing the riot was over.

They first expressed their feelings to the navy, and then gathered around Tom.

Due to the sea train plan, Tom is no longer the "terrible guy who built ships for [One Piece]", and he is somewhat popular.

A woman asked anxiously: "Mr. Tom, are all these thugs attracted by the 'train engine'?"

"Tahahahaha, maybe?"

Another person wiped away cold sweat and said, "But in short, it is solved."

"Tahahahaha, that's right!"

The child on the side raised his hand and said, "Thanks to Mr. Tom for bringing the navy here!"

"Tahahahaha..."

Tom was halfway laughing when he suddenly paused.

Finally, another old man nodded and sighed:

"That is to say, for important things like sea trains, it is safest to let the navy or the world government intervene to protect them."

Everyone was talking a lot, and there were all kinds of voices.
