Chapter 18 Flying Slash, Child Labor on the Warship!
Ever since Tsugikuni Yoriichi learned the Six Styles of the Navy from Aokiji, he has been pestering Aokiji to practice sparring with him all day long, hoping to use crazy fighting to quickly get his body accustomed to the Six Styles of the Navy.
Although using the Six Styles of the Navy is very physically demanding, after a short period of rest, Yoriichir can often recover some of his physical strength, enough to support fighting with the Six Styles of the Navy for a period of time.
As his understanding of the Six Styles of the Navy deepened, Yoriichi began to try to use the attack techniques of the Storm Leg in his slashing attacks during battle.
Finally, at noon, Yunyi successfully launched a flying slash.
"Buzz—"
A low sound of breaking wind was heard on the deck. Tsugikuni Yoshiichi successfully used his bamboo sword to make a flying slash, and the invisible air blade flew rapidly towards Aokiji not far away.
The speed of the slash was too fast and silent. Fortunately, Aokiji had been using his Observation Haki to fight Yoriichi, so he was able to detect the slash the moment it was launched.
But even so, Aokiji had never expected that Yoriichi would attack from such a distance, so he was not prepared to dodge. When the slash came, Aokiji had no choice but to use the power of the fruit, and his body quickly turned into ice.
However, the next second, the slash actually went straight through Aokiji's body. Aokiji's entire body was broken at the waist, and his upper body hit the deck with a bang.
"Boom!!!!" The attack of the weapon that passed through Aokiji's body slowed down slightly, and then it directly hit the guardrail, creating a huge gap in the guardrail of the warship.
"Crack--" The elemental Aokiji quickly regained his physical form, touched the wound on his lower abdomen that didn't exist at all, looked back at the big gap on the guardrail, and was a little surprised.
"What is that? Flying Slash!"
"Swordsman!"
Yunyi nodded excitedly, tightened his bamboo sword, and launched two more flying slashes. This time, Yunyi seemed to have mastered it more skillfully, and the range of the slash was much larger than before.
If someone could see Yoriichir's slash with the naked eye, they would probably be able to see a three-meter-long and half-meter-wide crescent-shaped air blade rapidly rushing towards Aokiji.
"You're going to chop me down?" Aokiji saw this and spread his hands helplessly. A breeze blew by, and Aokiji disappeared from the spot.
Aokiji, who was prepared, would never be hit by such a slash from Yoriichi.
“Bang!!!”
“Bang!!!”
After two loud bangs, two huge holes appeared on the warship's guardrail again, and this time, two deep knife marks were left on the deck.
“It’s quite powerful!”
"I can finally feel my progress."
"There is no doubt that in this world, my ceiling will become even higher!"
Yuichiro was quite satisfied with the power of the slash he had made. He raised his bamboo sword slightly and wanted to continue trying out the flying slash that he had just mastered.
However, at this moment, a fist as big as a sandbag came down silently and hit Yunyi's head. Yunyi didn't notice the person behind him at all. He was hit by the fist without any defense. He immediately felt pain and squatted on the ground with his head covered. At the same time, Garp's roar rang out from behind Yunyi:
"asshole!"
"What do you think of my warship?!"
"Are you practicing or dismantling a ship?! Huh?"
When Yunyi heard the roar, he turned his head and saw Garp with a furious look on his face.
"Uh... I'm sorry..." Yuichi apologized, clutching his head. Excited by his breakthrough, he'd forgotten where he was. Looking at the mess on the deck, he felt a bit embarrassed.
"Vice Admiral Garp, I... don't have the money to compensate." After thinking for a while, Yunyi suddenly laughed awkwardly and looked at Garp with an apologetic face.
"Tsk, it's okay, I'll ask Zefa to reimburse me."
"Now, go and fix the guardrails and decks you damaged."
"No dinner until it's fixed!"
Garp said with a smile, picking his nose with his little finger. As soon as he finished speaking, Garp suddenly turned his head to look at the entrance of the cabin and immediately called out to Aokiji who was about to sneak away.
"Hey! Kuzan, you have a share too!"
"Work with Yunyi to repair the damaged public property. If you don't, you won't have dinner either!"
Aokiji, who was called, turned around, smiled awkwardly, and then glared at Yunyi fiercely.
…
"Da! Da! Da!"
Hitting the wooden board with the wooden hammer in his hand, Ji Guoyuan squatted beside the guardrail, hammered a wooden block of adjusted size into the guardrail, and then added nails.
It's true that Yuanyi is skilled in carpentry. He used to live in seclusion in the mountains and often had to make wooden furniture himself. While he couldn't carve, he did understand the basic mortise and tenon joint structure.
"Da... da..." Unlike Yoshiichirō's skillful movements, Aokiji was obviously not a "craftsman". He repaired the wooden boards on the deck with a hammer here and there, and knocked up all the extra parts around. The size was completely wrong.
"Well...that's it."
"That's about right."
Upon hearing this, Yuanyi turned his head to look at the protruding "patch" on the deck and fell silent for a while.
"Forget it, Colonel Aokiji, it was me who broke it after all. I'll fix it later." Aokiji's craftsmanship was really not good. In order to avoid "rework", Yoriichi still took over the job.
"It's okay, just a minor issue." Aokiji seemed to agree that his patch was a bit of an eyesore. He extended his hand, and a sharp ice blade appeared in his hand. He used it to cut off the excess, allowing the plank to fit smoothly onto the deck.
"Ugh! The ability of the devil fruit is really convenient." Yunyi exclaimed in admiration when he saw this, then turned around and did his own thing.
"Speaking of which, Captain Aokiji, why did you become a marine?"
As a qualified "carpenter", chatting while working is a necessary skill, and it is also the best way to bring people closer together.
"You are Zefa's disciple, and we know each other now. Stop calling me Aokiji."
"Call me Kuzan. My name is Kuzan."
Aokiji was not too shy towards Yoriichi.
Admiral Zephyr is also Aokiji's teacher, and Aokiji can see that Yoriichi and Garp have a good relationship. Coupled with Yoriichi's own strength and talent, Aokiji actually treats Yoriichi as a peer and does not put on any airs of an officer.
"The reason for joining the navy~"
"Is there any need to ask about this? Of course it's for the sake of justice!"
"do not you?"
When Aokiji spoke of "exercising justice," his eyes lit up. This young naval officer joined the navy with a passion for justice.
"Doing justice! Sounds pretty impressive."
"I'm not as great as you. I just don't want to see any more ruined towns and the violent deaths of good people."
Yunyi sighed lightly, his hands still moving. However, Aokiji paused when he heard this, then looked at Yunyi and said with a heavy tone:
"What you want to do is much more powerful than what I have!"
"This world is huge, Yoriichi."
"What you want to do is not easy. Without strong power, you can't do it. Even if you have strong power, it will be difficult to do it."
"I can't believe you have such ambitions at your age."
At this point, Aokiji suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, I suddenly know why you were brought on this ship."
"Yuichirō! You and I are both very lucky to be on Vice Admiral Garp's ship!"
However, just as Aokiji finished speaking, Garp's voice was heard from a distance: "You two, stop slacking off! Get to work!"
“…”
"Okay, just forget I didn't say anything."
