Chapter 5 Disciple!
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
The Naval Academy of the Navy Headquarters is known as the cradle of generals. The chief instructor of the Naval Academy at that time was a retired admiral from the front line, known as Zephyr the Black Arm.
During the years that Zefa taught at the Naval Academy, he trained a series of outstanding naval officers and soldiers, including Sakaski, Borsalino, Kuzan, etc., who are now active on the front line of the navy.
And today, Chief Instructor Zefa welcomed a close friend who gave him a headache.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Zefa, I'll leave this kid to you to teach first!"
"The Roger Pirates have entered the New World. I don't have time to take care of a child right now, so I'll leave this guy to you."
"Here, this is the new tea I brought back from the East China Sea. Take out the senbei and let's taste this tea together!"
In Zefa's office, Chief Instructor Zefa was making a training plan for the students tomorrow. At this moment, Garp didn't even knock on the door, but led a red-haired kid out and greeted Zefa directly.
Zefa turned his head while sitting on the chair and saw Garp walking into the office with one hand on the shoulder of the boy next to him and a small bag of tea in the other.
Zefa's eyes fell on the tea leaves in Garp's hand. It was really just a small bag!
"How could I possibly have something like senbei here? I'm not a child."
Zephyr put down his pen, folded his hands in front of his chest, turned to Garp and said with a smile, and his eyes fell on the red-haired boy next to Garp.
"ah?!"
"Ha ha!"
"It's okay, I brought it myself. Go make some tea."
Garp casually handed the tea to the boy beside him, took out a bag of senbei from his arms, grabbed a handful and threw it into his mouth.
The young man following Garp was none other than Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
After being knocked unconscious by Garp on Longyin Island that day, he became Garp's "trophy". When he woke up, he had already been taken onto the boat by Garp and left Longyin Island.
After the investigation by Garp's officers and soldiers, Tsugakuni Yoriichi's "temporary residence" on Longyin Island was naturally discovered. Combining the environment of the cave and Tsugakuni Yoriichi's dress, Garp naturally made up his mind about Tsugakuni Yoriichi's life experience.
A genius boy who had been living in the wilderness since childhood, after witnessing the evil deeds of pirates, burst out with unprecedented power.
As for other suspicious points about Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, such as his swordsmanship and the well-made sword, they were ignored by Garp.
There are so many people with family heritage on the sea, and many of them are extremely talented, so Garp is no longer surprised.
Of course, the most important thing is that under the witness of Garp, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni single-handedly wiped out an entire pirate group with a total bounty of 11 million berries.
In the East China Sea, which is controlled by the navy, there are not many pirate groups with this bounty in this Age of Discovery, which has not yet been opened by Roger.
That day, half of the sky was dyed red by flames
The gorgeous sword skills he displayed while charging into the pirates, and the Shura-like young man left a deep impression on Garp.
Furthermore, this gifted young man was not opposed to joining the navy, which was very important. Furthermore, Yoriichi didn't care that Garp had knocked him out without a second thought. Compared to the benefits Garp could bring him, a little injustice was a small matter.
As an adult, the standard for measuring things is no longer simply likes and dislikes, although he is a little unhappy with Garp's style.
The tea was thrown into the hands of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Yoriichi glanced at Garp beside him speechlessly and looked at Zephyr.
Seeing that Garp was going to recommend him to the navy, Yoriichi Tsugukuni had long forgotten the punch he had received from Garp. These past few days, Yoriichi and Garp had become more familiar with each other, and Yoriichi would not refuse Garp's "assignments" sometimes.
However, this is Zefa's territory after all, and Yunyi is not so ignorant of the ways of the world.
"There's boiling water there."
When Zephyr saw that Yoriichi was looking at him, he smiled at him and pointed to the tea table beside the desk. He looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuin walking past him. Zephyr looked Yoriichi Tsugakuin up and down carefully, then asked Garp.
"Is this child the one you brought from the East China Sea?"
The Longyin Island incident in the East China Sea caused quite a stir. After all, a branch was completely wiped out. Although the navy blocked the news, the incident still had a considerable impact within the navy.
Although the bounty for the destroyed pirate group was only 11 million, that was only because the navy did not update the bounty in time after the Dragon Roar Island incident.
If the bounty was updated in a timely manner, the bounty for the destroyed pirate group would have easily exceeded 100 million.
On the surface, it was Iron Fist Garp who dealt with the culprit of the Dragon's Song Island incident, but a small number of senior officials knew that the person who slaughtered that pirate group was actually the red-haired boy in front of them.
Zefa is also one of the people who knew about this. Last night, Navy Marshal Kong had already talked to him about it.
"Ah! That's the boy."
"My name is Tsugikoku Yoriichi."
"Come, boy, say hello to your future teacher, Admiral Zephyr!"
Garp introduced them while waving at Tsugakuin. At this time, Tsugakuin had already made tea and walked over to Zephyr and Garp with the tea tray.
He placed two cups of tea on either side of the desk, stood up straight towards Zefa, and introduced himself:
"Hello, Mr. Zefa, my name is Yuichiro Tsugikoku, please give me your guidance."
At this time, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was wearing an ordinary marine's sailor uniform, with a long sword slung over his waist. He had an upright posture and a flame-shaped pattern on his handsome face.
Zefa looked at the person in front of him, one hand on the teacup, and the other hand tapping the table lightly, as if thinking about something.
Seeing Zephyr's expression, Garp raised his eyebrows and shouted at Jigoku Yoshiichi:
"Hey, kid, speak louder!"
"I can't hear you!"
"You want to drive a warship even if you're so quiet?!"
Garp's words made Yunyi turn his head and look. It was not because Garp had a loud voice, but simply because Garp's words seemed to have been heard somewhere before. At this moment, he thought he was surfing the Internet.
"Hello, Mr. Zephyr, my name is Yuichiro Tsugikoku."
Coming back to his senses, Ji Guoyuan said in a clearer voice.
Until this moment, Zefa seemed to have made a decision. He nodded slightly and took a sip of tea.
"Hey!"
"Zefa, I'll leave this kid to you."
"Hey, kid, when I come back, I'll let you try my fist again. Don't let me down!"
"Zefa, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Here, that bag of tea and this bag of senbei, consider it as a thank you."
After Garp finished speaking, he threw the half-eaten pack of senbei on the desk, then grabbed the teacup and turned to leave the office.
“.”
Zefa looked at the half-full pack of senbei on the table, the small pack of tea leaves on the tea table, and the tea set with a missing cup, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
After a long time, Zefa turned his head to look at Tsugikoku Yoriichi, and his expression softened.
"From today on, you are my disciple."
"From today on, you officially join the navy."
"I don't care what you did before or what your past experiences were. Since you joined the navy, you have become my disciple."
"Then your goal is to become an excellent naval officer!"
"How old are you this year?"
Zefa looked at Yoriichi Tsugikoku in front of him and asked.
Looking at the young and innocent face in front of him, Zefa was a little dazed at this moment.
"About 13."
For some reason, Yunyi has a vague understanding of his age.
"Um."
Zefa looked at Yunyi's face, nodded, and continued:
"You are still too young to be a member of the Naval Academy."
"Those who train there are all mature, elite individuals drawn from all over the world."
"We in the navy wouldn't allow a child of your age to go to the battlefield."
After hearing what Zephyr said, a look of surprise appeared on Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's face, because from the conversation between Zephyr and Garp just now, he learned that Zephyr should know his own abilities.
It's not that Tsugumi Kuniyoshi is bragging. During the few days he spent at the Marine Headquarters, he was able to roughly judge the strength of some naval officers through the transparent world. If he didn't consider Haki and fruit abilities, he thought he was much stronger than many of the Navy's "elites."
But from what Zefa said, he couldn't get into the Naval Academy because he was too young?!
"Don't make that expression."
"No matter how strong you are, you are just a child."
"Until you reach adulthood, you will stay with me and I will train you personally."
"From today on, you are my disciple, Yunyi!"
