Chapter 48 Apprenticeship, Target West Sea!
The wind is gentle, the rain is light, and time has opened the curtain of June.
The young Tsugakuin Yoshiichi officially joined the Naval Academy. Only three days after he officially enrolled, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi successfully became friends with his "classmates" and got along harmoniously with them.
The academic workload at the Naval Academy is a bit heavy for the cadets. In the morning, they learn world history and navigation knowledge, and after a short nap after lunch, they start the heavy combat training in the afternoon.
The Naval Academy's afternoon training sessions are diverse and varied, including but not limited to the Six Naval Styles, kendo, firearms, and close combat. Every afternoon, the instructors often choose two of these subjects to teach the cadets.
After these days of training, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also gained some understanding of the navy officers of the same period.
Most of the students in this naval academy are elites drawn from all over the world, and only a very small number are outstanding marines active on the great routes.
The ranks of all navy personnel range from private to captain. Among these two hundred people, the highest-ranking person is Captain Flying Squirrel. There are only two people of the same rank as him, both around 30 years old, who were transferred from the West Sea and the North Sea respectively.
The age distribution of the sailors in the Naval Academy is quite wide. Excluding Yuichiro Tsugikuni, the age ranges from 16 to 32. There are talented cadets who have just joined the navy, as well as veterans who have experienced many battles on the battlefield.
Because Jiguo Yuanyi caused some commotion when he enrolled, even though he was a new student, all the naval cadets knew him, and even the instructors at the naval academy knew Jiguo Yuanyi's name.
The name of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi spread far beyond the Naval Academy. After being spread by some nosy instructors, in just three days, almost all the officers and soldiers of the Naval Headquarters knew that a super genius who was only 12 years old had appeared in the Naval Academy. As soon as he entered the school, he beat up the old students.
Some people even dug out the origin of Tsugakuni Yoriichi and learned that Tsugakuni Yoriichi was brought by Garp from the East China Sea. Some well-informed people even dug out the fact that Tsugakuni Yoriichi slaughtered a pirate group with a total bounty of 11 million berries in the East China Sea.
However, no one knew that Yoriichi and Aokiji teamed up to destroy the Newk Pirates.
This matter seemed to have been concealed intentionally by Garp.
After Kuniyoshi joined the Naval Academy, his life was very regular. He attended cultural classes with his classmates every morning.
During the practical classes in the afternoon, Jiguo Yuanyi would often be drafted by the practical instructor to "help" serve as a training subject to improve the strength of his classmates.
The strength of these students is far behind that of Yunyi. For Yunyi, there is no significant benefit in practicing with other students.
However, Yunyi's own training focus is now on the coverage of Haki, so when practicing with these students, Yunyi will consciously attach Armament Haki to his body for defense. This does not delay the training of Haki.
In three days, the coverage of Yunyi's domineering power has increased, but the increase is not very large.
However, ever since Yoriichi learned the ability to restore life from Zephyr, combined with his breathing method, Yoriichi's physical condition has been improving day by day. Every morning when he wakes up, Yoriichi Tsugakuin can clearly feel that he is getting stronger.
From the perspective of the transparent world, he could immediately detect even the slightest change in his body.
However, since the power hierarchy in the world of One Piece is relatively vague, Yoriichi does not know what level he is at now. But there is one thing Yoriichi knows, that is, the power value of his full-strength attack has exceeded the measurement range of the test stone wall, which means that his power value has exceeded 7000.
In the days that followed, Yuanyi practiced day after day. While completing his studies at the Naval Academy, he would sometimes practice sparring with Zefa when he returned home at night. By fighting with a strong man like Zefa, Yuanyi always gained something.
And the coverage of Yunyi's Armament Haki becomes larger and larger as he practices.
Three months of peaceful life passed in the blink of an eye.
At the beginning of September, Yoriichi's Armament Haki was finally able to cover his entire body, and he could continue fighting for an hour while maintaining full output.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The autumn night in Marinford is quiet and peaceful.
But at this time in the home of Zefa, the chief instructor of the Marine Headquarters, there was a constant sound of bamboo swords bombarding coming from the gym.
In the gym at Zefa's home.
Tsugikoku Yoriichi was wearing a black loose training suit, and the sweat had already soaked Yoriichi's lining. However, Yoriichi didn't care about it. He held the knife in both hands and rushed towards Zefa after a brief pause, swinging the knife to cut Zefa's waist and abdomen.
At this time, Jiguo Yuanyi's whole body was covered with armed color domineering, and he was very aggressive when he swung his sword to attack. Zefa was also holding a bamboo sword at this time. Seeing Jiguo Yuanyi attacking with a sword, his expression was a little serious, and he quickly raised his sword to block.
The two bamboo swords collided with each other, making a crisp "pa" sound.
In an instant, a stream of air suddenly burst out from the gym, which had closed its windows, and quickly spread out in all directions.
"Yeah! Not bad, you're making rapid progress!"
Zefa praised in his mouth, exerted force with his hand, and directly blocked the knife of Yuichiro Tsugakuin, and then turned around and slashed at Yuichiro's chest with the knife.
Zefa's attack was seen by Ji Guoyuan. Now, he was able to respond to Zefa's attack of this level.
I saw Ji Guoyuan holding up the bamboo sword in one hand and quickly blocking Zefa's attack. The two people's armed color domineering collided again through the collision of the bamboo swords, and the airflow blew the bamboo sword leaning against the wall into pieces.
At the same time, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, who blocked the attack, quickly flew back two meters and then stood steadily on the ground.
"You can already barely withstand an attack of 70% of my strength, Yunyi, very good!"
"With your current strength, you can barely be considered a figure in the entire ocean."
"Then I can rest assured."
Zefa looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuin not far away with a look of relief on his face.
Within just three months since Yoriichi Tsugikuni returned to the Marine Headquarters, his Armament Haki had improved to the point where it could cover his entire body. At the same time, Yoriichi's physical fitness had also improved greatly. Now when he practiced with Zephyr, Zephyr no longer had to "fight hand-to-hand."
Yoriichi's speed, strength, and two-color Haki have all been greatly improved. In normal sparring, Zefa no longer has the opportunity to "fight hand-to-hand."
In Zefa's opinion, what Tsugikuni Yoriichi lacks compared to the top powerhouses now is only the strength of the two-color domineering and the difference in physique.
As for combat experience, the combat level demonstrated by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi has long been recognized by Zephyr.
"Teacher Zefa, please don't praise me so much. I'm still far from being good enough."
Yunyi shook his head and said.
He still has some self-knowledge. Although he has never fought with Zefa with a sword, after practicing with Zefa for such a long time, Yunyi clearly knows that the strength of his armed color domineering is not enough, and he is still far from being a strong man of Zefa's level.
Just talking about the strength of Armament Haki, Yoriichi himself estimated that it was only slightly stronger than the peak Vergo.
Of course, if he fights Vergo head-on, Yoriichi is confident that he can defeat him within five rounds.
"Yuichirō, headquarters has actually arranged for all of you naval cadets to go on sea training."
"But I suppressed you before. Now that you have such strength, I can feel more at ease."
"Your training location is the West Sea. With your strength, fighting shouldn't be dangerous."
"In a week, Captain Kane of the 133rd Marine Branch will come to headquarters to report on his work. You and Cyrus will then return to the West Sea with him."
Zefa walked to the wall, put down the bamboo sword, and then spoke to Jiguo Yuanyi.
Upon hearing the news of the seagoing trainee, Yunyi's eyes lit up, but the next second Yunyi seemed to have thought of something and asked doubtfully, "Are it just me and Cyrus? Where are the others?"
Hearing this, Zefa smiled and replied:
"You two are the only privates, pure rookies. The others are mostly elites from all over the world. Their training place is the Grand Line."
