"Ajin."
The young man standing in front of Yuichiro Tsugakuin at this time looked very different from the young man in his memory.
I don’t know how long this kid has been in the navy. The skinny boy back then has now built up a body of strong muscles.
Ajin is about 185cm tall and is wearing the uniform sailor suit of naval cadets. Yunyi took a quick look at him and found that Ajin's clothes looked more "old-fashioned" than those of other cadets. There were many small holes on his clothes, and the degree of wear and tear was far greater than that of other cadets.
It can be seen that this child's training intensity is probably much greater than that of other students.
I don’t know if there is a navy that is “two hundred times” larger than the navy of the same period?
Just as Tsugakuya Yoshiichi was looking at Akin, Akin silently withdrew his gaze under Yoshiichi's gaze, and became very alert, wanting to show his best side in front of Tsugakuya Yoshiichi.
Seeing Tsugikoku Yoshiichi again, the person who saved his life, Ajin suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"I think many of you know this one."
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi, although he is no longer a member of our Marine Headquarters, he was once one of you."
"I invited him to visit the school this time. It's a rare opportunity."
"The best among you will have the opportunity to fight against the world's greatest swordsman!"
"Ajin, you, first one!"
Although Yoriichirō had already set up his own company and was even a criminal wanted by the World Government and the headquarters navy, in front of these naval cadets, Zephyr did not treat Yoriichirō as an outsider at all.
In Zefa's mind, he has always regarded Yunyi as his best disciple.
"What? Fighting against the world's greatest swordsman?"
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? The difference in levels is too big. Is there any point in fighting like this?"
"Fool, this is a great opportunity to measure the distance between us and the world's strongest. How can we miss it?"
"Measure? The gap is too big, it's meaningless. You rushed forward excitedly, but were instantly killed by someone. How could you measure the distance?"
There were bursts of discussion in the queue. The students had different thoughts. Some were very interested in the "teaching" arranged by Zefa, while some were quite negative about Zefa's arrangement.
But the students also have one thing in common, that is, everyone is curious about the person of Yuichiro Tsugikuni himself.
In today's navy, there are even more "legends" and "stories" related to Tsugikuni Yoriichi than to the marshals and the three admirals.
When he was young, he captured the Pirate King Roger, killed the legendary pirate Golden Lion, and became the admiral of the navy. However, Yoriichi Tsugikuni rebelled against the navy and made frequent big moves after leaving the navy.
First it was the Beasts Pirates, then the BIG MOM Pirates, and now, they have even captured the "strongest man in the world" Whitebeard alive.
For such a person, it is natural that young sailors would be interested in Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Even many young sailors secretly regard Yoriichi Tsugakuni as their idol and goal to pursue.
Ajin is one of them.
"Mr. Tsugikoku Yuichi, please give me your guidance!"
At Zefa's signal, the students stepped back to make room for Jin and Jigoku Yoshiichi. Jin suddenly bowed deeply to Jigoku Yoshiichi and then shouted loudly.
He wanted to show Yunyi the results of his hard work over the years. He wanted Yunyi to know that he was working hard to become an excellent navy.
And this is what Ajin wants, a way to repay Yuanyi's kindness.
"Well, relax, don't be nervous."
"Grab your weapons and attack when you're ready."
For Yuichiro, an unplanned sparring session was just a piece of cake, and he still gave Zefa face.
What's more, Ji Guoyuan is also somewhat interested in Ajin.
This was the first opponent Sanji encountered before going out to sea, and also the first opponent Sanji encountered who completely crushed him. Even Jin was able to suppress Zeff, who was teaching Sanji kicking skills.
At that time, Ajin's strength had already crushed the Straw Hat Pirates.
This alone shows how outstanding Ajin's talent is.
It is also unknown whether Akin, who received a more systematic education under Zephyr, can fully realize his talents and bring some surprises to Yunyi.
What is a little different from what Yunyi had in mind is that Ajin’s weapon is not a crutch hammer, but a pair of swords.
It is not the most commonly used long straight knife nowadays, but rather a pair of butterfly short knives.
Seeing Ajin take his weapon from his companion, Yunyi's eyes lit up slightly, and he was a little surprised.
"It's a rare weapon. Is there anyone in the navy who can teach you how to use it?"
In Yuichiro's impression, the instructors in the Naval Academy should not have such talents.
"No, he figured it out slowly on his own. The instructors only provided him with some advice and strategies, as well as a platform for actual combat."
"This kid has great talent."
"Of course, if it were you, you should be able to teach him something!"
Zefa stepped back a few meters and heard what Jigoku Yoshiichi said. He smiled and explained for Ajin. It can be seen that Zefa is very satisfied with this student and cares about him very much.
"Oh?" Yuanyi smiled when he heard that, took off the long sword from his waist without taking it out of the scabbard, and nodded to Ajin.
“Drink!”
When Ajin saw the signal, he had no intention of talking nonsense. He let out a loud shout, kicked his feet and rushed directly towards Jigoku Yoshiichi.
During the sprint, Ajin kept slashing the dagger in his hand. He slashed at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's eyes and at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's chest. His attack was sharp and fierce.
Looking at Ajin's attack, Yuanyi gently raised the long sword in his hand, and then tilted his head back slightly, instantly avoiding the opponent's attack towards his eyes.
"clang--"
At the same time, a slight sound was heard in the playground. Ajin's short knife, which was slashing towards Ji Guoyuanyi's chest, was directly blocked by Ji Guoyuanyi's raised handle.
Ajin reacted quickly, and the dagger in his left hand suddenly hooked the handle of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's knife. At the same time, he quickly moved closer, and the dagger in his right hand stabbed Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's heart at a rapid speed.
At this moment, Jiguo Yuanyi, who was holding a knife, suddenly kicked out and kicked directly on the inside of Ajin's left foot. The huge force made Ajin's center of gravity shake. Not only did his feet spread out subconsciously, but his body also leaned backwards. The attack aimed at Yuanyi's heart was also simplified.
However, Ajin's reaction to the battle was excellent. He held the knife in his left hand, supported the ground with his fist, and used the force to do a backflip. After retreating several meters, he stood steadily on the ground.
outstanding.
Although there was only one round of confrontation, it did not prevent Ajin from being evaluated in this way.
Being able to maintain a stable stance under such circumstances is already quite an difficult task.
After Ajin landed, he didn't pause for too long. He kicked his feet and suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.
When Zefa saw this scene, a slight smile appeared on his face.
Navy Six Styles, shaved.
He is just a young student, but he has already mastered this level of skills. Ajin's talent and ability make Zefa very satisfied, and he even feels a little proud.
Their naval academy hasn't had such an outstanding talent for several years.
"call out!"
A sound of breaking air came from behind Yunyi. Without Yunyi turning his head, he tilted his head slightly to the side, and a flash of knife light appeared from behind him. At the same time, Jin also rushed forward and appeared at the side of Yunyi. After the attack failed, Jin continued his attack and quickly put away his knife. He stabbed Yunyi's body with both knives, one in front and one behind.
However, when the short knife approached, Ji Guoyuan's long knife was accurately placed across Ajin's arms, and the two ends of the long knife were directly against Ajin's wrists.
Ajin's attack was fierce, and he used nine out of ten of his strength. Unable to stop his attack, his wrist was hit directly. He subconsciously loosened his hands and the two swords fell to the ground.
Without waiting for the two swords to fall to the ground, Yuanyi flipped the long sword in his hand, and the end of the handle was already accurately against Ajin's chest.
The force wasn't very strong, but it was enough to hurt Ajin and make him take several steps back.
“Dang—”
"That's all."
Zefa's voice was transmitted to the field in time, and at the same time Zefa spoke, Ajin's double swords fell to the ground, making two crisp sounds.
Jin stared at Tsugikoku Yoriichi in a daze, seemingly still recovering from his recent defeat. The naval cadets watching from a distance were also stunned by the brief yet dazzling battle, staring at Jin in astonishment, speechless.
The strength that Ajin showed in front of Yunyi today was much stronger than the strength he usually showed when sparring with his students.
And shaving was also the first time that Ajin showed it in front of the students.
But even such a powerful person like Ajin in the eyes of the students was defeated so easily.
The relaxed and comfortable posture of Yuichiro Tsugikoshi during this sparring match was also deeply engraved in everyone's mind.
"The gap is really too big..."
After a long time, some students expressed their feelings.
Ji Guoyuan glanced at Ajin, and lightly tapped the ground with his long sword twice. The two short swords on the ground also pointed their handles forward and flew towards Ajin.
When Jin reached out and subconsciously caught the short sword, Tsugikoku Yoriichi's praise reached his ears:
"As a student, he is quite outstanding."
"Your fighting style has become unique. Keep studying it, fight more, and you will become even stronger."
"Pay more attention to the distribution of force when attacking, so that you can still retain the energy to change your moves while attacking."
"Close combat with two swords is dangerous. While the attack is fierce, it also carries the risk of being easily countered."
"Of course, studying techniques is important, but improving one's physical fitness cannot be left behind either."
"The ultimate destination for the strong is dominance."
"Keep up the good work, Jin."
Yuanyi has a relatively high opinion of Ajin's abilities and is optimistic about Ajin's future development.
Listening to Yunyi's praise, the bewildered look on Jin's face had long since disappeared without a trace. His face became serious, and he bowed deeply to Jigoku Yunyi: "Yes! I will continue to work hard."
“Thank you for your advice!”
Ajin put away the two swords in his hands and returned to his companions at Zefa's signal. Afterwards, Zefa selected several students with excellent physical skills and good talents to fight with Ji Guoyuan.
While "showing off" his teaching results to Yuichiro, he also took advantage of Yuichiro's ability to give the students a short practical lesson.
The top 15 most outstanding students all received one-on-one "teaching" opportunities, and they all gained something from the battle.
This "teaching" lasted less than an hour, and then, at the enthusiastic request of the students, Zefa took Yuichiro and Kuzan away from the training ground and went to his office.
A pot of tea and a plate of navy-style "senbei" snacks.
This is the remuneration for the "private lessons" that Zefa prepared for Yuichiro.
The sunlight passed over the window sill and shone on Yuichiro Tsugakuin who was sitting on the sofa. Yuichiro held a teacup in his hand, gently blew away the tea foam, and tasted the tea that Zefa had privately collected.
This smell brought back memories for Yunyi.
"It's been a long time since I've sat down quietly and drank tea like this."
Feeling the sweet aftertaste in his mouth, Yunyi put down his teacup, relaxed against the back of the sofa, and said with a smile. Beside Yunyi, Kuzan didn't care about his image at all, completely letting go, and lying on the sofa like Ge You.
"If you want, you can live like this."
"All you need to do is close your eyes and close your ears, turning a blind eye to the suffering before you and a deaf ear to the cries from far away."
"With your current strength and influence, no one dares to cause trouble for you."
"You still don't want to?"
Kuzan said as he crossed his legs, wore sunglasses, and looked at the ceiling.
His words also plunged Zefa's office into silence.
Zefa sat on the single sofa on the other side, silently adding tea to Yunyi's cup without saying a word.
Yuanyi shook his head and laughed, drinking his tea by himself.
Among the three people in the office at this moment, which one was not affected by the suffering in front of them and the crying in the distance?
The leisure they have now is only temporary.
"Hey, Yoriichi, there are only me and Mr. Zephyr here."
"Can you tell me why Whitebeard was sent to the Marine Headquarters?!"
"You can handle it yourselves, obviously?"
There was a hint of anger in Kuzan's words. After holding it in for so long, he finally asked Yunyi this question.
Kuzan is not a fool. He can more or less guess Yuanyi's intention of diverting trouble to others. That is why he feels angry.
By doing this, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi is treating the Navy Headquarters as an enemy.
This is something Kuzan is unwilling to accept. He has never considered Yunichi an outsider. Even after Yunichi quit the navy and became a wanted criminal, Kuzan's thoughts did not change. At the same time, Kuzan also did not want Yunichi to consider him an outsider.
But now, Yunyi did just that.
Zefa still had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't feel Kuzan's anger.
After a long silence, Tsugikoku Yoriichi did not directly answer Kuzan's question, but instead asked:
"Kuzan, do you know about the Valley of the Gods incident?"
Valley of the Gods.
Zefa heard this and looked up at Yunyi. Kuzan, who was lying on the sofa waiting for Yunyi's answer, suddenly heard this and straightened up: "I have heard of it, although it is a secret."
"Vice Admiral Garp stopped the Rocks Pirates' attack and protected the Celestial Dragons of God Valley."
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"What's the problem?"
Kuzan took off his sunglasses, a little confused.
"Of course there is no problem."
"but."
"Kuzan, have you ever thought about why the Celestial Dragons living in Malinjoa would appear in the Valley of the Gods?"
Hearing Yunyi's question, Kuzan glanced at Yunyi, then looked at Zephyr with some confusion. That incident happened too long ago, and people of his age only knew about it through the remaining materials of the headquarters.
Zefa had already held a high position in his early years, so even if he had no personal experience, he should know a lot of things.
Yunyi noticed Kuzan's gaze and looked at Zephyr with a smile.
Under the gaze of the two disciples, Zefa's face showed a hint of reminiscence.
"Before the Valley of the Gods incident."
"Every three years, the Celestial Dragons conduct a 'hunting event'."
"The targets of the hunt are the indigenous peoples of the islands of non-member nations, as well as the slaves that the Celestial Dragons have abandoned and discarded."
"It's called hunting, but it's actually a killing competition."
"The Valley of Gods was the hunting ground of the Celestial Dragons that year!"
When Zefa said this, his emotions fluctuated violently, and a fire ignited in his chest as he spoke.
"This is the essence of the world's aristocracy, pigs kept in captivity on holy ground. Their worldview and values have become distorted."
"The original intention of establishing the navy was good, but being controlled by these pigs will ultimately lead to its destruction!"
"I'm just trying to figure out how to separate the navy from the framework of the World Government."
"This is also the purpose of establishing a new navy."
"Hey, Kuzan."
"After knowing this, what do you think?!"
"Want to come to my place?"
