Chapter 7 Test, unique sword skills!
"Yuichirō, the admission requirements for the Naval Academy are very strict."
"Only those with a Dao Power score of 80 or above are eligible to study at the Naval Academy."
"Do you know what 80 means? An average adult male who has received some training only has a Dao Power of 10!"
"And a Dao Power value of 80 is completely superhuman for ordinary people!"
At this point, Zefa could no longer hide the pride on his face and laughed out loud.
Although he is a former naval admiral who has experienced many ups and downs, when talking about students and school, he is like a child showing off his report card, his face full of pride and excitement.
"Come on, come on, I'll take you to see it!"
As he was speaking, Zefa brought Tsugikoku Yoriichi to the edge of the training ground, looked around, and introduced Yoriichi to him.
"Look, that's the shooting range. Everyone who graduated from our Naval Academy is a sharpshooter!"
"Look, that drill ground is used for hand-to-hand combat training. Every one of those who graduated from our naval academy is a master of combat!"
"Look, that building is a dojo. There's a special kendo teacher there who taught us. He graduated from our Naval Academy."
Before Zefa could finish, Tsugikoku Yoriichi chimed in, "Are they all great swordsmen?!"
Zefa, who was excitedly introducing the Naval Academy to Yuichiro Tsugakuko, suddenly choked when he heard this. After a pause, he touched his chin and said with a hint of embarrassment:
"Not really. They are not all great swordsmen."
The next second, Zefa continued with a smile:
"Each of them has laid the foundation to become a great swordsman!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zefa said, laughing.
Upon hearing this, Jiguo Yuanyi couldn't help but glance at Zephyr. It was the first time he realized that Zephyr was still the kind of person who loved to brag. If he didn't still have some superficial impression of the power levels in the pirate world, he would have really been fooled by Zephyr's promise.
Great swordsman?
There are only a few great swordsmen in the world?
As far as he knew, there seemed to be no one in the navy who could be called a great swordsman!
However, Yuichiro Tsuchikuni was not at all disgusted by Zephyr's gossip. This middle-aged man, who was full of a sense of belonging and pride in the navy, described the "future" to a child who longed for the navy, making Yuichiro Tsuchikuni feel a peace he had never felt before.
He had never experienced such a feeling in the Demon Slayer world.
After being interrupted by Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Zephyr continued to introduce everything about the Naval Academy to Yoriichi. His excited look made Yoriichi lose his mind for a moment.
After listening for a long time, Yunyi saw that Zefa's speech speed began to slow down, pointed to the kendo hall that Zefa had introduced before, and said:
"Teacher Zefa, can we go to that kendo gym?"
Hearing this, Zefa looked down at Tsugikoku Yoriichi beside him, and seeing the long sword in Yoriichi's hand, he smiled and nodded:
"Of course! Let's go!"
"It's just right. You can test your Dao power there."
"I also want to see what kind of kid can be brought back to Marinford by Garp himself."
As they spoke, the two walked across the training grounds and headed towards the kendo hall in the distance. The two figures, one large and one small, attracted the attention of many students in training.
"Hey! Who's that kid following Mr. Zephyr? I've never seen him before!"
"A relative? Or a new student?"
"Idiot, how could Mr. Zefa have any relatives? And it's already past the enrollment period! And that kid is so young!"
Ignoring the students' discussions, Zefa led Tsugikoku Yoriichi straight to the front of the kendo hall.
Although the kendo hall looked small when viewed from a distance, it was only when he actually arrived in front of it that Yunyi realized he had been mistaken.
The dojo in front of me probably covers an area of several thousand square meters. I took off my shoes and entered the dojo. Looking around, I saw rows of long shelves at the base of the walls. On the shelves were rows of bamboo swords, and there were estimated to be no less than a thousand of them.
The dojo is a modified Japanese-style building with pillars distributed in an orderly manner, dividing the empty dojo of thousands of square meters into "small dojos" of dozens of square meters.
This dojo could probably easily accommodate 300 people training at the same time.
It has been many years since Tsugikuni Yoriichi had stepped into such a dojo. Since he left Tsugikuni and started hunting ghosts, he has not set foot in such a dojo again.
Looking at this strange yet familiar dojo, Yunyi was a little dazed.
Zefa thought that it was the first time that Jigoku Yoshiichi had seen such a large dojo. He looked a little proud and picked up a bamboo sword by the door. He walked into the dojo and suddenly said to Jigoku Yoshiichi:
"Yuichi, are you interested in practicing?"
"I heard from Garp that you're pretty good with a sword!"
"My swordsmanship is average, but it's decent enough. How about we play?"
Yuichiro Tsugakuya was brought back to reality by Zefa's words. Seeing that Zefa was interested, Yuichiro Tsugakuya was of course happy to practice with him.
To be honest, he had only been in this world for a short time and did not have a clear understanding of his own strength.
Before, when he was on that island, he easily killed a giant beast, but Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also knew that killing a giant beast could not be used as a criterion for judging strength.
He vaguely remembered that Luffy, who had just gone out to sea, could easily defeat a king of the sea.
The second time he attacked was when he faced Garp, but he was knocked down by Garp with one punch.
The third time was when they attacked the pirate ship. According to Garp's evaluation, his strength should be comparable to that of the captain. However, such an evaluation cannot be used as a criterion for judging strength.
Lieutenant? The difference between a strong colonel and a weak major is huge! Even colonels of the same rank can have vastly different strengths.
You may not believe it, but Smoker and Monka are both colonels.
Yes, that's the Axe King who chopped down the hero Garp with one axe.
Moreover, in the previous battle to wipe out the pirates, Yoriichirō didn't use his full strength at all.
"If I fight against Mr. Zephyr, I will be able to clearly understand my current strength in the One Piece world."
"If he were to say that, he wouldn't knock me out with one punch like Vice Admiral Garp did, right?"
When Yuan thought of this, he leaned his knife against the wall, picked up a bamboo sword and came to Zefa. Without any nonsense, he held the sword with both hands and said to Zefa:
"Teacher, I will use all my strength, please pay attention."
Hearing Yunyi's words, Zefa smiled, grabbed the bamboo sword and said:
"Come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunyi adjusted his breathing and his whole aura changed suddenly. If Yunyi Tsugakuin was like a calm lake, like an ordinary person a second ago, then now, Yunyi Tsugakuin was like a surging wave, and the aura he exuded was simply not something a young man could possess.
And in Ji Guoyuan's transparent world, Zefa, who was standing in front of him with a knife in his hand, was full of flaws!
"Um?!"
When Zefa saw the sudden change in Yoshiichirō's momentum, his expression froze. He instantly brought the bamboo sword that was originally pointing at the ground to his chest. The next second, Yoshiichirō Tsugakuin's body disappeared from the spot.
In the gym, a mysterious psychedelic mist suddenly rose up. In just two breaths, the mist filled the entire gym.
"What's this?!"
"A devil fruit ability?!"
"Garp never told me this kid has this ability!"
"No, no, it's not a devil fruit ability."
"Just sword skills?"
Zefa's observation Haki unfolded, his brows slightly furrowed, and he muttered to himself.
The next second, the figure of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni suddenly emerged from the psychedelic mist and appeared on the right side of Zefa, sweeping the bamboo sword across and slashing towards Zefa's lower abdomen.
"Xia's Breathing—Horizontal Slash!"
