Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and it was the beginning of the second month.

Navy G3 branch, on the playground.

More than two thousand naval soldiers were arranged closely, forming a square formation.

On the makeshift podium, a colonel officer held a scrap of paper and shouted:

“Sergeant Maynard, get out!”

“yes!”

“Last month, you performed outstandingly and made outstanding military exploits in the battle against the Kim Pirates. You are now awarded the rank of sergeant.”

…

“Recruit Carl D. Sephiroth, come out!”

“yes!”

Sephiroth responded and trotted all the way from the phalanx to the large podium in front of the colonel officer.

“Last month, you performed outstandingly and achieved outstanding military exploits in the battle against the Paul Pirates. You are now awarded the rank of corporal.”

Sephiroth already knew about his military rank promotion after he joined the war.

However, he did not expect that his military rank would be promoted three levels in a row.

Just last night, he learned the reason. It turned out that the pirate swordsman he killed using his bat transformation during the battle with the Paul Pirates was a pirate with a bounty of 12 million.

According to Navy regulations, naval soldiers who kill bounty criminals during military operations will be rewarded according to their contribution and participation. If they kill alone, they can get up to 50% of the bounty.

Therefore, in addition to a promotion and a salary increase, Sephiroth also received a bounty of 6 million Baileys.

The navy directly deducted 50% of the bounty, which seemed a bit shady. It was not like giving 100% to bounty hunters.

but……

What you need to know is that bounty hunters also need to pay for catching and killing bounty criminals. They also have to consider travel expenses, weapon loss, battle injuries, etc., and they may even pay with their lives for it. price.

Therefore, the Navy only deducted 50% of the bounty, which in his opinion was actually very conscientious.

In Sephiroth’s view, this can be regarded as a means for the navy to attract talents and motivate the army to fight against pirates.

Otherwise, as a navy, you will be controlled every day, have no freedom, have little money, and receive a salary of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of beli. How the hell do you want me to fight pirates to the death?

Except for the passionate young people, no one with a sane mind would choose to be a navy.

In this case, who of those capable people would be willing to work with you?

If someone has this kind of strength, why not become a pirate and go out to burn, kill and loot, while drinking wine and cuddling with a girl? Isn’t that comfortable…?

After the unified award ceremony, more than 2,000 naval soldiers did not leave here, but walked towards the outside of the base with neat steps.

As the sun sets, on a hillside facing the sea, wild flowers are swaying in the sea breeze.

Not far away, there are stone tombstones standing, forming a forest of tombstones. On each stone monument, the name, date of birth, and death of the sacrificed navy are recorded.

Under the leadership of Karp, a group of navy soldiers came to the thirty-four newly built tombstones and presented a bouquet of flowers to each tombstone.

These thirty-four tombstones are all naval soldiers who died in the Navy G3 branch last month…

“salute!”

Amidst the low and sad sound of the bugle, both soldiers and officers stood up straight, raised their right hands, and paid the most solemn and solemn military salute to the tombstones.

At the same time, they also hummed a military song.

This is a song that every navy must know, but it is also the song that every navy is least willing to sing.

This is the lament of the living to the dead… “The Guidance of the Sea”

The sea looks at everything, even the beginning of the world.

The sea knows everything, even the end of the world.

So what it invites to go is the way forward.

So what it leads to is the correct world.

Pain and suffering are all tolerated by me.

Broad, gentle, and tolerant for me.

The sea looks at everything, even the beginning of the world.

The sea knows everything, even the end of the world.

What if I disappear from this world,

It is also guided by the all-knowing ocean.

Don’t panic, because you are here.

Don’t be afraid, your friends are waiting too.

Move forward bravely, into the blue distance.

…

After the song of lamentation, many sailors already had tears in their eyes.

Their once flesh-and-blood companion died in battle on the vast sea, lay in a cold grave, and erected an ordinary tombstone.

After many years, who will still remember them…?

Safi

Ross stared at the forest of tombstones with calm eyes. He admired the sailors who sacrificed their lives for justice in his heart, but he also felt sad for them.

The navy under the World Government essentially exists only to maintain the rule of the world’s nobles.

There is actually a big gap between the ideals and reality in their minds…

The funeral was over and it was getting dark.

The navy exited in an orderly manner and left this sad place.

“Hey! Sephiroth kid, come with me.”

Garp suddenly called out to the silver-haired boy. Although the latter was confused, he still followed.

Bogart is like Garp’s shadow. Wherever he goes, he follows him.

After reaching the edge of the island, on a beach, Garp stopped and turned to look at him.

“Come at me and let me see how much progress you have made during this time!”

While speaking, Garp clenched his fist and made a “click!” sound, looking extremely crazy.

Sephiroth looked at the Akiba knife at his waist and asked tentatively:

“Can I use a knife?”

“up to you.”

The other party had already said this, and he was too lazy to be pretentious. He just heard a “swish!”, and the long knife in his hand unsheathed, drawing a beautiful red arc in the air, and slashed towards Garp’s chest. And go.

Iron!

Clang!

The moment the blade in Sephiroth’s hand struck Garp’s chest, the opponent’s chest to neck were covered with dark armed domineering energy. He felt as if he had struck on steel, and he couldn’t help but be surprised.

next moment.

Before he could recover, Garp’s casserole-sized fist had already been printed on his cheek.

Bang!

Sephiroth flew backwards instantly and landed three meters away. He rolled several times on the sand before he came to a halt.

So, he couldn’t help but lie on his back on the beach and cursed:

“Damn! You bad old man is so bad that you even use weapons to show your domineering attitude…”

“Hahaha! Didn’t I already allow you to use the knife?

Besides, any armament-colored domineering power or any knowledge-based domineering power are all empty as long as the attack power is strong enough and the speed is fast enough. “Garp laughed loudly.

“Pooh!”

Sephiroth stood up from the sand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of evil.

“When I learn the armed domineering spirit, let’s see if I don’t hack you to death…”

“If you want to learn how to use Armament Haki, then you have to try to instill your own will in the attack!

Your current level of attack alone cannot hurt me! ”

Hearing this, Sephiroth couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

He knew that the old guy in front of him was one of the top strong men in the world.

Even if he tried his best, he couldn’t beat him. If the two sides continued to fight, he would only be beaten unilaterally!

but……

Roar!

Sephiroth roared in his mouth, and his height of more than 1.7 meters quickly increased to 2.3 meters in height. His clothes were stretched tight by the bulging muscles.

Uh-huh!

He raised his right leg and stepped on the ground so hard that his whole body shot out like an arrow from the string, slashing at the old man with a knife.

But Garp still stood motionless. When the young man approached, he took a dangerous risk. He turned slightly sideways, dodged the slash of the long knife, and quickly swung his right fist to hit the latter. abdomen.

Bang!

Sephiroth’s body flew out again and fell on the beach.

Through seeing and hearing Se Haki, he had foreseen Garp’s attack.

but……

The bad old man’s attack was so fast that it exceeded his reaction speed.

Moreover, the opponent made no unnecessary moves whether in dodge or attack. Coupled with the extremely precise timing, he was able to crush him in all directions.

Garp grinned and said in a teasing tone:

“Is that all you can do?

Fortunately, Bogart also said that you are very talented in swordsmanship…

Be more serious! Brat!

Haven’t you already awakened to the domineering power of seeing and hearing?

In this case, then you should carefully feel the breathing and rhythm of your body! ”

“Come again!”

Sephiroth gritted his teeth, continued to stand up, raised his long knife, and rushed towards Garp.

Bang!

…

“Come again!”

Bang!

…

Regardless of speed or strength, Garp completely crushed Sephiroth. Even though he tried his best to hit the opponent, under the former’s terrifying armed and domineering defense, he could only defeat him.

It cut through the opponent’s clothes, but did not leave a trace of scar on the dark skin covered with military color.

When the two of them fought, Sephiroth simply stopped using the knife. He stood directly on the beach, lowered his waist and locked his horse, and fought with Garp face to face.

You punch, I punch, punch to the flesh!

Garp relied on his strong armament and used his fists as a massage.

Sephiroth relied on the fierceness in his heart. No matter whether he could break through the defense or not, if you punch me, I will punch you back!

after an hour……

Plop!

Sephiroth’s nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he fell on the beach with his head up. He gasped for air, and even the vampire transformation was lifted.

He looked at the moon in the sky and was absent-minded for a while.

By the way, why am I working so hard!

Forget it, I still choose to lie down and show off!

Garp looked down at the boy lying on the beach, he suddenly grinned and said:

“You are very good! Although your strength and speed are a bit lacking, you are very resistant to beatings…

From now on, I will spare an hour every day to beat you… No, I will teach you how to practice. ”

Sephiroth: “…”

After saying that, Garp, the bad old man, turned around and left with Bogart.

He was left alone, continuing to lie on the beach and doubting life.

After more than half a minute, after Sephiroth consumed a year of life force, the injuries on his body, the bruises and swelling on his face disappeared completely, and he turned back into a beautiful boy.

Sephiroth lay on the beach, facing the moon in the night sky, gritted his teeth and said:

“Garp, you bad old man, remember this!

Sooner or later, I will definitely beat you down! “
