Pirates: The Salary Is In Place, The Four Emperors Are Kicked Out

Time flies, time flies, horses pass by... well, it's not that exaggerated, in fact, it's been two days since Zephyr started teaching Polusalino and Sakazuki.

Contrary to these words that describe how quickly time passes, Polusalino's past two days were extremely difficult, and it felt like a year. During the training process, Zephyr Admiral did not let him use the ability of Sparkling fruit, Just let him rely on the flesh to dodge. And the consequence of this is that although nothing could be seen on his face (Polusalino begged for mercy not to be slapped in the face), but Polusalino's body was full of bruises.

In fact, Zephyr Admiral did this not out of bad taste (although he laughed badly), but was really giving Polusalino a targeted special training. With a sharp eye, he can see at a glance that there is nothing in the Marine Six Styles suitable for Polusalino. Because whether it is movement, attack or defense, Sparkling fruit is excellent. There's no need to put the better Devil Fruit abilities aside and choose the inferior Marine Six Styles instead.

Of course, as he said, Zephyr Admiral's sudden attack on Porusalino, on the one hand, was to let Porusalino verify his conjecture; on the other hand, it was also to test Porusalino's The current strength verifies Zephyr's own conjecture.

——That is, the speed of Polsalino's flash is limited by the speed of his thought reaction.

It is precisely because of this conjecture that Zephyr will let Polusalino not use the ability of Sparkling fruit, and only rely on his body to dodge his attacks. This will both give Polusallino a boost in his reflexes, thereby increasing his flashing speed, as well as laying the groundwork for him to practice Armament Haki and Observation Haki later.

Polsalino certainly understood this, so when Zephyr beat him, he really tried his best to dodge and cooperate.

But who is Zephyr? One of Marine's current highest combat power, the top powerhouse in the pirate world. Even if he let loose like Polsalino did to King Luffy in the future, Polsalino still had a pretty miserable life most of the time.

Especially in the middle and second half of the two-day training, mental exhaustion coupled with physical exhaustion made Polsalino beaten almost four-fifths of the time.

(If you beat it, you will be beaten, Marine Admiral let the sea as your sparring partner to beat you, such an opportunity is not easy to get...)

While touching the bruises on his body, Polsalino grinned and comforted himself like this in his heart.

By avoiding beatings to improve the speed of thinking and reaction, this kind of training method with a strong "Garp flavor" may seem low-level and barbaric, but it is very effective. After two days of high-intensity training, Polsalino can clearly feel that his elementalization speed and laser release speed have been significantly improved.

Of course, Polsalino's side has made great progress, and Sakazuki's side has also gained a lot. Tsuru Vice Admiral's dedicated guidance, coupled with his own talent, has made Sakazuki able to use the shaver in a decent manner.

"shave!"

Seeing Sakazuki appearing five meters away the moment the voice fell, Vice Admiral clapped his hands in satisfaction:

"It's amazing to be able to practice shaving to this point in two days, Sakazuki!"

"It should be two and a half days, Crane Vice Admiral."

Sakazuki also smiled slightly.

"Yes, two and a half days... which means that the Marine Elite class will start tomorrow, and the two of you will start the competition tomorrow."

Crane Vice Admiral chuckled.

"yes."

Sakazuki nodded, and with Vice Admiral Tsuru, looked to the other side of the training ground A - where Polsalino was training for Zephyr Admiral's beatings.

"Hu-hu-"

Breathing heavily, Polsalino stared intently at Zephyr Admiral, who was standing in front of him, with a look he had never shown before in the North Blue branch.

"The 1,200 attacks in ten minutes have avoided 411 times, Polsalino, it's improved again..."

Zephyr smiled and shook his arm.

"Improvement means that I haven't done enough... I just avoided 411 times... huh..."

Polsalino spoke, but his spirit did not slacken in the slightest.

——In the past two and a half days, there have been at least 30 times, Zephyr said with a look of "training is over", and suddenly it was a sneak attack with a heavy punch. Who knows if he will be like this this time...

Seeing Polsalino as vigilant as an ambush beast, Zephyr Admiral laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Polsalino, you bastard... Don't worry, this old man will not attack suddenly again. "

"Really?"

Polsalino's body was still tense and his mind was highly concentrated, "But I don't really believe it, Zephyr Admiral..."

"It's true this time,"

Zephyr shrugged his shoulders as if helplessly, "As expected, I left a shadow on you before."

"You actually know..."

"Not this time, not really. Today is half a day, and the Marine elite class has to start tomorrow morning. You and Sakazuki have to have a good test. Even if I don't let you two rest, I have to rest myself. , I have to prepare for tomorrow's opening ceremony..."

"So, this time it's really over, it's really over, trust me."

"Then let me trust you..."

Polsalino slowly relaxed his muscles.

Seeing Polsalino's shoulders slump down in a relaxed manner, returning to his usual sloppy appearance, Zephyr Admiral nodded with satisfaction, and turned around as he spoke:

"Let's go, go meet Xiaohe and the others. I'll treat you to a meal later, you two have worked hard these two days."

"Although I am very happy to be invited to dinner by you, this meal should be served by me and Sakazuki, you two are the ones who have worked hard..."

Polsalino followed Zephyr towards Sakazuki and the others.

"By the way, Polsalino, can you drink?"

"Can drink, but not much."

"Really, at that moment, the old man and you..."

Halfway through his words, Zephyr, who was walking in front, suddenly burst out, his body suddenly turned to the right, and a powerful whip kicked straight into Polsalino's abdomen!

"...I knew you had to do it again..."

Polsalino, who relied on his body's instinctive reaction to dodge the whip leg in an instant, said quite speechlessly, Zephyr Admiral's toes were only 5 centimeters away from his abdomen.

"1201 hits, 412 successful dodges. Well done, Polusallino..."

Zephyr smiled and retracted his leg.

"This is all trained by you..."

Porusalino shrugged helplessly - this time he really felt that Zephyr didn't want to attack anymore.

"But that's not enough,"

Zephyr turned around again and continued to walk forward, while saying, "The old man kept a hand for you, but the enemy won't. You have to keep practicing!"

"I see,"

Porusalino nodded, "By the way, Zephyr Admiral, I have a question for you... about the Armament Haki you mentioned earlier."

"About Armament Haki? Say it."

"You said that Armament Haki is like a layer of armor attached to the human body. What is the specific thickness of this 'armor'? Is the five centimeters I kept with you just now considered a safe distance?"

Polsalino asked.

(Senior Armament Haki, Oda didn't have time to talk about it when I crossed, I don't know what the situation is...)

"I didn't expect your kid to think about this..."

Zephyr glanced at Polusalino in surprise, "Well, the thickness of Armament Haki varies from person to person, how much is the specific thickness, and how is it a safe distance, I can't answer you uniformly. However, to the top experts of Armament Haki , at least you have to keep a distance of more than two meters from him, so that you can take advantage of being the Logia Demon fruit power."

"Two meters...I understand."

(It's no wonder that Polsalino's Amazura Cloud Sword has such a length, not just for being handsome and handy...)

"Um...what are you going to do in the afternoon after dinner? Take a walk around our Naval Headquarters, or..."

"I'm going to go back and have a good rest, I've been too tired these two days,"

Polsalino said miserably, "You have bruises all over your body... If you can't beat Sakazuki tomorrow, you can't blame me..."

"Is it my fault for beating you?"

"...Hey, you're going too far! Are you such an Admiral?!"

"Kill you and no one will know I'm such an Admiral."

"...I was wrong, please forgive me."

Porusalino resolutely admits counsel.

"So, what are you going to do tomorrow's test?"

"Don't worry, never paddle, go all out!"

...

Zephyr Admiral and Crane Vice Admiral returned to the Naval Headquarters fortress building after treating Polusalino and Sakazuki for a meal in their exclusive premium box in the Marine canteen.

"Sakazuki and Polsalino will compete tomorrow, which one do you prefer?"

Crane Vice Admiral asked Zephyr with a smile.

Zephyr had planned to say that the two were of similar strength, and the result of the battle should be a draw. But inexplicably remembered some of Polusalino's seemingly casual words these days, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment:

"...The Polsalino guy may have a better chance of winning."

"Oh? Do you actually think so?"

Crane Vice Admiral was a little surprised. She didn't think about who Zephyr would favor when she asked this question, after all, they were both Logias, and it was difficult to tell the winner without Armament Haki. The main purpose of her question was to hear Zephyr's opinion on the two, but she did not expect Zephyr to have such an obvious bias...

"That guy Polsalino... always gives me a... very inexplicable feeling..."

Zephyr considered his words, "It feels like he's hiding a lot of things that might be the key to his victory over Sakazuki..."

"Is there a lot of stuff hidden? It's really possible with his character..."

Crane smiled helplessly, "But then again, is the Enies Lobby ready? Is there any problem tomorrow?"

"Well, everything is ready."
