Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

Chapter 461 Betting on Life (4200 words)

The Navy G-2 branch fortress is located in the first half of the Grand Line, not far from the Kingdom of Lulucia. The sea areas near the Kingdom of Lulucia are basically under the responsibility of the G-2 branch.

If the training camp wants to practice nearby, they need to come over and say hello first. After that, they may be stationed here directly. Then, like in the Chambord Islands, the G-2 branch will provide intelligence and arrange patrol tasks.

"Teacher Zefa, you have worked hard all the way!" Lieutenant General Gumir, the person in charge of the fortress, is an extremely smart man. He has a circle of long gray hair and politely gave up the high ground in the middle. He has slightly dark skin and thick lips.

Wearing a dark red suit and a navy justice cape, he carried two long knives at his waist.

Although he looks older than Zefa, he is indeed Zefa's student.

Zefa smiled: "Gumir, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

"It is also an honor for me to have the opportunity to teach outstanding juniors." Gumir noticed Zhang Daye and others coming off the Amber and asked uncertainly, "Are they really going to join the navy as rumored by the outside world?

?”

I always feel that these people are a bit out of place wearing the clothes of ordinary sailors, but this group of people are good-looking and can hold up.

"It's a pity that although I really hope so, but... they don't have the will yet." Zefa said, "This is also very good. They say they come to the training camp to learn, but in fact the students have received a lot of care and encouragement from them.

, now I am very energetic both in training and studying.”

It's not just an incentive, it's simply a blow. If these students in the training camp weren't all carefully selected, and Zefa's psychological counseling was in place, some of them would have given up on themselves and started to mess up.

It’s hard to say how strong this group of students will be after graduation, but Zefa can guarantee that their mental endurance will be first-class, and everyone has the hope of becoming a commanding talent who is calm and calm in every situation.

"Really?" Lieutenant General Gumil didn't know why, but he still said, "Then we need to entertain him well."

"Hello, Lieutenant General." Zhang Daye and the others greeted Gumir under Zefa's introduction.

"Hello, it's our first time meeting you." Gumir had a good first impression of them. He felt that everyone in the Amber tour group, including humans, cats, and even ducks, were very polite.

Gumil said: "Please come with me, as well as the captains of each team in the training camp. The situation in the nearby sea areas may have changed in the past few days, and the internship plan may need to be slightly adjusted."

The meeting room of the G-2 branch was not as big as Shampoo, so Gumir could only bring some people in.

Today's training camp has been organized into teams by Zefa based on their performance in various aspects. The team leader is temporarily held by the person with the best performance, and Ayin and Binz are among them.

But since everyone needs to learn command, the formation will be readjusted based on the situation in the future.

Of course, because the Amber Tour Group was over-strength and had no formal establishment, Zefa did not take them to play when forming a formation. They were directly classified as a special team and left to their own devices.

The meeting room of the G-2 branch is very simple. There is a plaque hanging on the wall directly in front of it, which reads "Unhurried Justice". Below the plaque is a whiteboard with a sea chart and several wanted posters posted on it. The blank spaces are filled with crooked letters.

Various information is written in the font.

The writing of this word was even uglier than that of Perona, and it was hard to see that it had a built-in confidentiality function. Zhang Da also stared at it for a while before he could barely recognize the words "Tooth Frog Pirates".

"Coffee, please." A sailor wearing a chef's hat and apron placed a cup of richly fragrant coffee in front of everyone, which smelled very appetizing.

But when it was Zhang Daye's turn, his expression changed and he declined politely: "I'm sorry, I'm not used to drinking coffee. Can I switch to juice or boiled water?"

The marine soldier said kindly: "Ah, we didn't think carefully. We will give you a drink right away."

"Thank you." After Zhang Daye thanked him, he winked at Artoria. However, the person he was calling, Mr. Da Mao, was temporarily disconnected because he was attracted by the color and fragrance of the coffee and could not receive the signal.

"Hehehehehe~" Perona said to Zhang Daye sarcastically, "Some people are actually afraid of the bitter taste of coffee. Are they just children?"

Zhang Da also sighed. He originally wanted to remind her, but since he is so arrogant, forget it: "Miss Perona is so mature and reliable, but you must taste it carefully and don't waste any of it. Do Weiwei and Wendy want to change it to something else?"

"Of course!" Perona almost turned her nostrils into the air because of her success in convincing Zhang Daye.

Wendy struggled for a while. She actually didn't like bitter coffee, but should mature adults learn to taste coffee? Wendy was successfully led into the ditch. She clenched her fists to encourage herself: "I can do it!

"

What's going on with this inexplicable fighting spirit? Zhang Da also said that he didn't quite understand the little girl's mind.

"I want to try it too." Weiwei's curiosity became a little unstoppable.

Everyone made the same choice, but Ye Yan, who was the only chicken thief, felt that Zhang Da also wanted to trick people, so he and Zhang Da also changed glasses of juice on the grounds that he would need to catch up on sleep soon.

Perhaps out of some tacit understanding, everyone picked up their cups and took a sip of their own drinks before the meeting began.

"Ugh——" Perona drank more boldly, and a smell even more disgusting than Devil Fruit washed over her taste buds.

In order to save face, Perona tightly covered her mouth to prevent her from spitting out the coffee. Her mouth made a whining sound, and her big eyes were filled with tears.

Noticing Zhang Daye's pitiful eyes, Perona swallowed the coffee and then slumped weakly on the back of the chair. The taste was so bad that she felt like she was out of body.

Curious Tom was even more powerful than Perona. Because the coffee was so fragrant, he drank a whole cup in one gulp and smashed his mouth twice. After a delay of two seconds, Tom's cat face changed from blue to green, and he stood still.

Holding on to the back of the chair, he kept retching.

Carew, who gradually became Tom's little follower, was not spared. After taking a sip of coffee, he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and his eyes turned white.

Weiwei had no time to care about Karu, because she was lying on the table, sticking out her tongue and fanning herself with her hands. She didn't have the grace that a princess should have. She paid the price for her curiosity after all.

"So this is what adults drink?" Wendy covered her mouth, her face turned a little blue, and she said with some despair, "Xia Lulu, I don't want to be an adult anymore."

Xia Lulu said weakly: "Although I can understand your feelings, don't give up because of this reason..."

"I think adults have nothing to do with whether they drink coffee or not." Jackie Chan corrected Wendy's misconception even though he was feeling unwell, "Adults also have the right to choose drinks... Although it is rude to say this, but this thing is really

Is it coffee?”

"The two of us got along very well today." Although Shark Pepper couldn't express much, the change in his eyes was very obvious, and he looked unbearable, "I have never drunk such... distinctive coffee.

"

Shark Chili tried to be polite in his wording.

Rui Mengmeng grimaced: "If I had known earlier, I would have listened to the boss."

Arturia picked up the coffee cup without changing her expression, took a sip, and then another sip. At this time, she couldn't help but think of Gawain.

Even so, the food must not be wasted, and the intentions of the people who entertained her must not be easily disappointed. Arturia launched a challenge to this cup of coffee with a decisive mentality.

Ye Yan sipped the juice and became a person having fun. Sure enough, he would not suffer any loss if he followed along. Looking at everyone's expressions, Ye Yan thought of a new idea for performance art - people who drank bitter coffee.

The specific image needs to be considered again. As everyone complained, Ye Yan felt that inspiration was coming to him in a steady stream.

Naturally, the trainees in the training camp did not fare much better, but in order not to lose face during the internship, they suppressed the urge to vomit. Some looked up at the ceiling with their eyes blankly, and some rested their elbows on the table.

, lowered his head and let his palms block his expression.

Zefa seemed to have already experienced it. He only tasted a little bit and then put down the cup: "Gumir, the coffee here is still as bad as ever. Have you never thought about improving it?"

Gumil took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth and chin - he had just vomited, and even though he had drank it many times, he still couldn't get used to it.

Perona was completely furious when she heard what Zefa said to Gumir. The spirit put her hands on her hips in the air and shouted: "It turns out that you can't even drink it yourself! How can anyone entertain guests with such a thing!"

Gumil touched his bald head and said sheepishly: "Sorry, I always thought they would make progress next time."

It seemed that this lieutenant general was very tolerant to his subordinates. Zhang Da almost judged Gumil's character and said to Perona: "Okay, don't be too rude, go back quickly."

Zhang Da also took Tom's empty cup: "Give you half of my juice."

Then he pushed the other half to Artoria. Since everyone else's cups were still full, there was nothing they could do.

Artoria thanked him softly, and Tom was resurrected with full health.

Ye Yan touched his conscience and pushed his juice in front of Wendy, letting them divide it among themselves.

Perona reluctantly floated back into her body, feeling the bitter taste in her mouth still there, and her facial features almost wrinkled together.

Zhang Daye, who never holds grudges, said with a smile: "Remember to finish your drink, don't waste it."

"I don't want to!" Perona's face turned red, "Did you already know this?"

"I really don't like drinking coffee." Zhang Daye said to him, "Well, can we start now? Lieutenant General, did you say that the situation has changed recently?"

"Well, that's it." Gumir tidied up his appearance and became serious, "You must have read today's news. Although the specific content is not exhaustive, the defeat of Wang Zhi and the change of throne of the Four Emperors are indeed true.

Yes."

"In my judgment, Red Hair's overall victory will definitely trigger a carnival among the pirates, because he proved to the world that the Four Emperors are just more powerful pirates and are not invincible."

"'A pirate group of just a dozen or so people can defeat the Yonko. What if I can do it too? As long as I succeed, I will become famous all over the world overnight.' I'm afraid there are not a few people who think this way."

At this point, Gumir glanced at Zhang Daye: "The activity of the Amber Tour Group some time ago has spawned a large number of bounty hunters. The incident caused by the red hair this time will definitely spawn a large number of pirates. Even those who followed suit before

I'm afraid many of you who became bounty hunters will turn into pirates after realizing that it's difficult to do what you do."

"Fame and wealth have always been things that can drive people crazy, and becoming a pirate seems to some people to be a shortcut to getting these."

The naval cadets were deep in thought. They had always been busy exercising before and rarely had time to think about these issues. Gumir's words suddenly made them think about the reason why pirates kept appearing.

Only then did they realize that wealth, prestige, status...the things Roger said before he died were so attractive to people.

"Is it our fault?" Wendy noticed that the bounty hunters Gumil mentioned went to sea under their influence, and finally became pirates because they were unable to achieve their expected goals.

Gumil said: "No, you are just catching pirates, there is nothing wrong. Those who change their stance easily are not peaceful guys."

There are some things that Gumil cannot say. If this matter is really wrong, it is because Morgans messed up, or there is something wrong with the above publicity strategy.

Being a bounty hunter can bring you both fame and fortune? Why don't you talk about running a sea vendor ship and earning 180,000 beli a day?

In order to reduce the number of pirates, the special case of the Amber Tour Group is promoted as a goal that everyone can achieve. When the truth is revealed, there will naturally be a backlash.

The title of Yonko is also true. At first, the pirates would kill each other for such a title, but as time passed, the three of them took this opportunity to manage their territory more and more firmly.

If Wang Zhi hadn't provoked the red-haired man, the current situation might have been even worse.

"In addition, the remnants of Wang Zhi's pirate group, as well as the pirate groups that were originally affiliated with him, have lost their leaders, and their actions are unpredictable."

"The red-haired style may not necessarily take over Wang Zhi's old department. I am afraid that many of them will escape from the New World and return to Paradise. The jurisdiction of our G-2 branch is not far from the Red Earth Continent, and the pressure will be great then.

.”

Gumir's eyes swept over the faces of the younger generations: "In a sense, you came at the wrong time, but it is also the right time."

The expressions on the faces of the students became serious, and Ain and Binz took the lead in saying: "In the name of justice, pirates will never be allowed to do whatever they want!"

Gumir nodded happily and said: "Anyway, we will be very busy next time, and there won't be much time for everyone to rest. I will arrange the specific patrol route and set off immediately after lunch."

"yes!"

…

The meeting ended quickly, and the team leaders were either excited or anxious to go back to convey the mission objectives, do pre-war mobilization, and look forward to the next internship life.

Zefa is quite satisfied with the growth of the trainees. As for the serious situation and the possible dangers of the mission, they are the navy after all and have to go through this all the time.

At this time, the Amber Tour Group received warm hospitality from the fortress chef, because when the chef was putting away the coffee cups, he found two empty cups. After asking, he found out that it was the ruthless person from the Amber Tour Group who had finished the coffee.

The chefs were so moved that they almost burst into tears. This was the first time that someone had finished the coffee they prepared!

We must entertain these people today, especially the cat named Tom and the knight Artoria. Even if we risk our lives, we must feed these two well!
