Chapter 45: Special Students of the Naval Academy! (Two in One)
Life returned.
It does not belong to any of the Six Styles of the Navy. In terms of the technique itself, it is somewhat similar to paper painting, but it is essentially different.
Paper drawing, a technique for controlling the release of body muscles, can be considered a defensive skill.
However, Life Return was a completely different beast from this. If you had to say it, Life Return was like a higher-level skill in Paper Drawing.
To infuse human consciousness into any part of the body and freely control these parts of the body, this is the essence of returning life.
To put it simply, it is to use the return of life to control one's hair and allow it to move freely. The representative figures are the future vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Spider Demon, and the lion Wadori in CP9.
A slightly more advanced use is to control internal organs. The simplest application is to control the esophagus and stomach, making digestion easier.
The world of One Piece still obeys the "law of conservation of energy" to a certain extent. Of course, it is only to a certain extent.
The appetites of the strong are often terrifying. However, their digestive capacity is limited, making it impossible for them to digest vast quantities of food. Without vast quantities of food, however, it is impossible for them to possess superhuman combat power.
The meaning of returning life is to connect this broken cycle.
With him, human physique can constantly break through the limits and become stronger and stronger!
After learning that Yoriichi Tsugikuni did not learn about life return from Garp, Zephyr personally explained to Yoriichi the principle and function of this technique.
In fact, Zefa was still very surprised when he learned that Yoriichi had not mastered the life return.
In his opinion, even though Tsugumi Yuichiro's improvement was so terrifying, he didn't have the blessing of life return. If Tsugumi Yuichiro mastered this ability, his subsequent improvement speed would probably be even more terrifying.
When Zefa was explaining, Yuichiro listened attentively. Zefa even used the breakfast time to demonstrate the so-called life return to Yuichiro.
Yoriichi watched through the transparent world as Zephyr used the life return method. After thinking for a while, he tried it himself.
Well, don’t tell me, this kind of body control ability really can’t be mastered at first glance.
After trying for a whole morning, Yoriichi finally mastered it. After successfully mastering this ability, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's appetite did not increase dramatically, but only slightly increased based on his existing intake.
But the effect that the return of life brings to Yunyi is far more than that.
When Tsugikuni Yuichiro uses all his domineering power, he can only fight for half an hour at most, and it will take at least six or seven hours for his domineering power to recover.
But after mastering the life return, as long as there is enough food, Yunyi only needs one meal and less than three hours of rest to fully recover.
The recovery speed doubled.
This is extremely important for Yuichi's cultivation!
In the evening, when Zefa came back from the Naval Academy and was about to have dinner with Yunyi, he walked into the kitchen and saw the empty food storage room, and was stunned.
He thought his house was robbed, but Zefa suddenly thought of something and hurried to the dojo. He happened to see Yoriichi Tsugikuni frantically displaying his sword skills in the dojo. His domineering aura was wrapped around the bamboo sword, and every swing produced a terrifying sonic roar.
Zefa also noticed that there were two large bags of garbage in a corner of the dojo. Without thinking, Zefa knew what was in them.
"Learn it in one day. Learn the life return in one day?!"
"What on earth is this kid made of?!"
Zefa secretly exclaimed in his heart, and did not disturb Jiguo Yuanyi's practice. He sat by the door and watched Jiguo Yuanyi quietly. At this time, Zefa noticed that Jiguo Yuanyi's breathing rhythm had a strange pattern when he was practicing sword skills, and between breathing, Zefa felt that Yuanyi was very strenuous.
A look of pain appeared on Yoriichi's face from time to time, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni never stopped.
In one morning, Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi successfully mastered the life return. After mastering this ability, Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi couldn't wait to integrate this ability with his "domineering" breathing method.
Not to mention, being able to consciously control his organs made it much easier to gather his Armament Haki within them. His new breathing method also became much smoother, significantly reducing the pain it caused him.
Now, he was able to complete a full set of Sun Breathing using this breathing method.
With the dual assistance of breathing techniques and life restoration, it is difficult for Yuichiro Tsugikuni to imagine how terrifying his physical condition will be in the future.
“Wow!”
"Yuichirō, your swordsmanship is truly remarkable!"
Zefa watched for a while, watching Tsugakuko Yuichi complete a set of "Breathing of the Sun" sword moves. Seeing Yuichi stop at this time, he couldn't help but admire it.
Yunyi turned his head to look at Zefa, and smiled and announced the good news: "Teacher Zefa, I have mastered the ability to return life."
After saying this, Yunyi continued with a hint of guilt:
"Sorry, I've eaten all the food at home."
Upon hearing this, Zefa smiled and waved his hand, not caring about such a trivial matter at all. Compared to the fact that the food was eaten up, what surprised him was that Jigoku Yuanyi mastered the life return in one day (he didn't know that Yuanyi only took half a day).
Moreover, the set of sword moves that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi just used was also very gorgeous. In all the years that Zephyr has been in the navy, he has never seen any swordsman in the navy with such smooth and gorgeous sword moves.
“When the food is finished, you can just go buy more.”
"Teacher, I'm the chief instructor of the navy. I can't go broke eating."
"But you, kid, have only been back for one day, and you've surprised me one thing after another."
"Not bad! Really good, worthy of being my disciple."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After laughing heartily for a while, Zefa's smile faded and he waved to Yunyi. When Yunyi came closer, Zefa's expression became a little serious and he said:
"Yuichi, this afternoon, the Marshal asked me to go to his office and learn about your situation."
"He cares a lot about you!"
"Yuichi, there's something I want to tell you."
"Of course, it's up to you. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go. It's up to you. No one will force you."
Zephyr's sudden seriousness caught Yunyi off guard. Hearing this, Yunyi realized that this was most likely what the Admiral of the Navy, Kong Gu, meant. His expression became serious, and he nodded and said, "Teacher, go ahead."
"Given your formidable strength, the Marshal intends to send you to the Naval Academy ahead of time."
"Of course, although you are enrolled now, you will be trained in the Naval Academy until you reach adulthood."
When Zefa said this, he couldn't help but frown.
To be honest, his original intention was not to let Yuichiro enter the Naval Academy so early. Those "lazy" old foxes would lead the young Yuichiro astray.
Moreover, Yuichiro is too young. Entering the naval academy means that Yuichiro will sometimes go out to sea for training as a cadet, although the frequency is far less than that of combat troops.
However, going to sea is common. After all, there is some knowledge that books cannot teach, and the navy is not just about fighting.
When the academy went to sea, the officers leading the team were mostly major generals or lieutenant generals from the headquarters. Only on rare occasions did Zefa personally lead the team.
Although the Naval Academy is a school, it can actually be understood as a "promotional force" with a small number of attacks.
Those outstanding young people will be trained by fighting on the sea with their peers in the Naval Academy.
The Naval Academy has never been an ivory tower.
The main reason why Zefa opposed it was that he felt that Yoriichi's safety could not be guaranteed.
Zephyr has confidence in himself and in Garp, so there is no problem for Yoriichi to follow him and Garp.
But I really don't have much confidence in the major generals and lieutenant generals who lead the team.
Every year, many cadets from the Naval Academy die in battle.
Only the students who survived would advance to the next level, either being sent to other places to become commanders, or staying in the headquarters with a bright future.
Naval school, risks and opportunities coexist.
"Naval School?!"
"Can I join the Naval Academy?!"
"Teacher Zefa, what's there to agree or disagree about? Of course I'm joining!"
Tsugikoku Yoriichi spoke as a matter of course, without the slightest hesitation. He had inquired about some things from Aokiji. Although the Naval Academy was a school, the cadets all had military ranks and were part of a real military unit.
The achievements you accumulate in the Naval Academy are something you can take with you when you graduate. Some people may be just sergeants when they enter the academy, but when they graduate, they may be lieutenant colonels.
For a normal graduate, after two years of study, it is considered very good if he or she becomes a captain. Only the top graduates may become colonels.
If Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had entered the Naval Academy at such a young age, even if he started as a marine at the lowest level, with his other strengths and accumulated some achievements, after six years, when he became an adult, he would probably have been a general upon graduation.
Others are 18 years old and have 1 year of military service, but he is 18 years old and has 6 years of military service.
We are not even starting from the same starting line!
Of course, Yunyi is not a fan of being an official, but what he wants to do requires a high enough position and a strong enough influence. The Naval Academy is a good place to make connections.
If he doesn't want his life to be manipulated by others, strength is one aspect, position is another, and connections are also very important.
"Yuichi you."
"Do you want to think about it again?"
Zefa frowned, a little unhappy. He knew that Yunyi wanted to improve his strength and also liked to go out to sea. He was not trying to stop Yunyi, but Zefa had a safer plan and didn't want Yunyi to take risks.
"Teacher Zefa, I've thought about it!"
"Thank you for the Marshal's training. I will join the Naval Academy!"
"Teacher Zephyr, I know what you are worried about, but this time I followed Vice Admiral Garp to the sea, and I met the Roger Pirates."
"You may not believe this, but there are two kids around my age on that pirate group."
"I agree with what Vice Admiral Garp said: If pirates can go to sea, then the navy can certainly go to sea too!"
"I've learned so many combat techniques, but they'll eventually need to be used on the battlefield. Isn't the battlefield more useful than the training ground?"
Upon hearing this, Zefa looked at Yunyi's young face and was speechless.
In the end, Zefa still couldn't change Yunyi's mind. He sighed softly, nodded, and said, "In that case, starting tomorrow, you will go to the Naval Academy with me."
"Normally, students are supposed to live in the dormitory, but I'm worried about you at your age living with those lazy idiots."
"In the morning, you go with me and attend classes as normal. In the evening, after you finish training, you have to come back and stay."
“When the students go to sea to study, I try to lead them myself.”
Zefa stood up as he spoke, his words full of care and concern. Yunyi could only bow slightly to Zefa, and he felt Zefa's kindness.
In the evening, the atmosphere was a bit depressing when Zefa and Yunyi were having dinner. Zefa was very unhappy, but facing the determined Yunyi, he really had no way to deal with it. All the anger in his heart was poured out on Marshal Ganggu Kong.
He had already made up his mind that if anything happened to Yoriichi at the Naval Academy, he would first settle the score with Sora Ayaka.
In Zefa's eyes, Yoriichi Tsugikuni is the future of the navy!
The meal ended in a depressing atmosphere. After the meal, he and Zefa strolled around the family area for a while to digest the food, and then returned home. Zefa "trained" Yuichiro's fighting skills.
Well, you know what, after exercising for a while, Zefa felt a little less angry.
After "exercise", Yuichiro returned to his room feeling sore all over.
Well, you know what, I feel more comfortable sleeping now.
The next day, the morning light once again shone into Yuanyi's room.
But before Yunyi woke up, Zefa came to his door, opened the door, and threw a set of clothes in. Yunyi was awakened by Zefa's movement, and when he stood up, a brand new navy uniform was thrown towards him.
"You want to wear it. I got it specially for you this morning."
"Now that I'm going to be a marine, I can't wear my own clothes anymore."
"Pack up, have breakfast and let's go!"
After saying that, Zefa closed the door.
Yuanyi rubbed his eyes and the clothes in his hands, and suddenly woke up. He got up and quickly changed his clothes. After a simple wash, he went back to the room, got a knife, and went to the restaurant.
After breakfast, I went to the Naval Academy with Zefa.
Ji Guoyuan has only been to the Naval Academy located in the headquarters once, and he just took a quick look around. As for how much he knows about the Naval Academy, he really doesn't know much.
When Zefa brought Yuichiro to the Naval Academy, the cadets were just lining up and preparing to start morning exercises.
The instructor leading the team was a young navy man wearing a training uniform, probably in his early thirties. His rank could not be seen just by looking at his clothes. When Yuanyi saw this young navy instructor, he felt somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
There were more than two hundred trainees in the morning, and Yunyi even saw a familiar figure among them.
"Cyrus?"
"Didn't this guy follow Kuzan and enter the Naval Academy?"
Yoriichi was surprised to see Cyrus in the crowd, and Cyrus in the crowd obviously also saw Yoriichi Tsugikoku following Zephyr, and his face was also full of surprise.
Zefa led Yunyi to the trainees who were about to start training. After greeting the training instructor, he said to Yunyi:
"This is Victor, our Naval Academy's kendo instructor. He's also responsible for the Marines' physical training."
"Yuichi, you should have seen it."
After Zefa's reminder, Yunyi finally remembered who the young instructor in front of him was. And Victor obviously recognized Jigoku Yunyi and his eyelids couldn't help twitching.
"Instructor Victor, my name is Yuichi Tsugikoku. Please give me your guidance."
Yunyi greeted him with a smile, and Victor twitched his face and nodded.
Zefa ignored the two of them, patted Yunyi on the back, and said to the other students:
"This kid's name is Yuichiro Tsugikoku."
"From today on, he is a member of our Navy."
"He is 12 years old this year. You are all older brothers and sisters than him. Please take good care of him in normal times."
"Of course, I'm talking about life!"
"As for fighting, this boy is the strongest among you!"
"Hey, is there anyone who doesn't accept this? If you don't accept this, stand up!"
"By the way, this guy just joined the navy and is a private third class."
"But! Anyone among you who can defeat this brat will be promoted to a higher rank, no matter what your current rank is!"
Zefa grinned and aroused hatred for Yoriichi Tsugikoku, while throwing a piece of meat into the wolf pack.
He wanted to add some color to Tsugumi Yoshiichi's future student life.
When Yunyi heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he understood Zefa's intention. He walked in front of the many students with a knife in his hand, his expression cold, neither sad nor happy, as if he agreed with Zefa's evaluation of "the strongest".
His attitude immediately caused an uproar among the students.
