Chapter 13 Breaking the Peace, Garp Returns! (Two in One)
The fact that Rossinante gave up so easily not only caught Tsugikuni Yoriichi off guard, but even Zephyr didn't expect that Sengoku's adopted son would give up so easily.
Zefa hadn't seen Rosinante much before, but he had always heard Zhan Guo talk about how sensible his adopted son was, how determined his will was, and how hard he worked to become an excellent navy.
But seeing Rocinante's expression today, Zefa chuckled inwardly, but then his expression quickly darkened. He was laughing at Zhan Guo's excessive doting on his adopted son, but the reason for his gloomy expression was mainly because he was a serious person when it came to training.
Even though Rossinanti has not yet become a navy officer, even though Rossinanti is not a student of his naval academy.
Before Tsugumi Kunihara could even encourage Rosinante to continue, Zefa directly scolded him:
"Rosinante!"
"Stand up!"
"The navy isn't just playing house. On the battlefield, you could die at any moment!"
"If you don't work hard during training, you'll be killed by pirates on the battlefield. Do you want the old man in Sengoku to die with his young son?!"
"You, are the adopted son of the Warring States?! Stop being such a coward and stand up!"
Zefa's sudden rebuke startled Rosinante, who was lying on the tatami. He immediately jumped up from the tatami and hurriedly replied, "Yes... yes!"
"I'll continue right away!"
Zephyr was, after all, an admiral, and held great prestige within the navy. Rosinante hurriedly stood up, grabbed his bamboo sword, and with a roar, attacked Tsugumi Kuni again.
"Oh~"
"Very impressive, isn't this possible?"
As soon as Zefa finished praising him, Yunyi dodged Rocinante's attack by moving sideways, then crouched down and struck Rocinante's ankle with his knife. Rocinante stumbled in pain and fell to the ground.
"It... it hurts so much!" Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's strength increased a bit. The pain could arouse Rossinanti's anger, and the anger would ignite Rossinanti's fighting spirit.
Sure enough, Rossinanti, who was lying on the ground, held the bamboo sword tightly, gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, and rushed towards Tsugumi Yoriichi again.
…
Rossinanti practiced with Ji Guoyuan for the entire morning, with very little time for rest.
This kind of training is of no help to Yoriichi, but it is different for Rossinante.
Rosinante actually has a strong willpower, he just has the habit of playing badly, and Zhan Guo has always been fond of his adopted son Rosinante, so when Rosinante plays badly, Zhan Guo just lets him do it.
Therefore, over the years, Rossinanti's strength has grown very, very slowly. Even after Rossinanti became an adult, his strength was only mediocre, just at the level of an ordinary Marine.
If we don't count the fruit ability and just calculate the Dao power value, Rossinante's Dao power value at his peak would probably only be around 20.
Now that he is twelve years old, Rossinanti's strength is only slightly stronger than that of children from ordinary families.
During lunch, Rossinanti, whose muscles had cooled down, felt sore all over. His hands were shaking violently due to fatigue, and he couldn't even hold the spoon steadily.
“Hey, hey, hey…”
"Yuichi, I have never undergone such rigorous training."
"I'm still growing. Will this kind of training affect my development?!"
"Isn't he going to be tall, Yoriichi?"
"Look at you, I think you're not tall because of training!"
Although eating was difficult with sore muscles, Rossinanti's mouth kept chattering non-stop. From the moment he sat down to eat, he hadn't stopped.
“.”
"My height is standard."
Yunyi glanced at Rosinante and replied. It's true that Rosinante really has the qualifications to say that. Although this kid is only 12 years old, he is nearly two meters tall, very tall.
However, Tsugikuni Yuichiro's height is quite average, just 170cm.
After hearing what Rossinanti said, Yunyi really didn't know how to refute him.
"You're already tall enough, there's no point in growing taller."
Yunyi ate his rice and spoke vaguely.
"No, no, no."
"I think it's more important that I'm tall."
"I don't want to be a shorty."
Rossinanti shook his head. Although Yunyi knew that he was not cursing, he still felt a little awkward when he heard this.
This world was a little different. Humans were generally much taller than the world Yunyi was familiar with. People of Rosinante's stature were common among the navy. Even without considering the giants, there were still plenty of navy members nearly two meters tall.
Yunyi and Rossinante were eating and chatting. After a while, the door of the restaurant was suddenly opened.
“Tear!”
Zefa walked into the restaurant with a tray in his hand. After Zefa entered the room, a tall middle-aged man wearing a cloak of justice also walked in.
The man was also holding a dinner plate in his hand, which was filled with various foods. It was piled several dozen centimeters high and covered his face.
Yoriichi and Rosinante both raised their heads and looked at the person behind Zefa, with curiosity in their eyes.
"Yo~"
"Yuanyi little devil!"
Sticking his head out, Garp grinned and shouted at Jigoku Yoshiichi, then without paying any attention to Zefa, he sat down on the seat and put the plate in his hand on the table.
"Lieutenant General Kakap!"
"Hello, Vice Admiral Garp."
Rosinante seemed to know Garp and shouted in surprise. Yoriichi also looked at Garp and greeted him politely.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Don't be so formal!"
"I heard Zefa is cooking today, so I came here to eat. You really came just in time, hahahaha!"
Cap sat down next to Rosinante, taking the food off the tray while talking. He seemed to be very happy.
"It's all your fault. You came here without saying a word. The food I prepared is not enough."
Zefa sat down next to Yunyi, a smile on his face but a complaint in his mouth. The food on his plate was also piled high, but after putting it down, he shared it with Yunyi and Rosinante, leaving very little for himself.
"Garp, didn't you go to track down Roger? How come you're back so soon?"
"It's only been a dozen days since you went out to sea, not even a month."
"What, lost you again?"
Zefa quipped.
In the navy, Garp has always been a maverick. Considering Garp's achievements, Sora Cyborg tried to promote him to admiral several times, but was rejected by Garp every time.
Garp, who has always been a vice admiral, is not as active in the New World as other vice admirals. Instead, he has turned his attention to the "Roger Pirate Group" in the East China Sea. Unless there is a major event in the headquarters, he will chase Roger in the East China Sea.
While chasing, if we encounter other pirates, we will also eliminate them as well.
It is precisely because of Garp's activeness that the pirate forces in the East China Sea have always been the weakest among the four seas, and the social order is also relatively the best in this region.
However, not long ago, the Roger Pirates arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, then entered Fishman Island and headed for the New World.
When Karp got the news, he chased after him at that moment, but he didn't expect that he would come back so soon.
"whispering sound!"
"You know the climate in the New World. I was about to catch them, but suddenly there was a heavy rain, and I lost my target."
"The surveillance ship didn't find any trace of Roger for several days, so I came back first."
"By the way, let's see how you've trained this kid!"
As he spoke, Garp's eyes fell on Yuichiro. He looked at Yuichiro briefly, then grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Sure enough, I lost him."
"You often lost them in the East China Sea. Now that they've changed ships in the Seven Waters City, they should be able to escape even faster."
"The climate in the New World is so unpredictable. I don't think you'll ever be able to catch up with Roger."
Zefa was eating while making sarcastic remarks.
"Well, don't worry about me. I'll catch him."
"He seemed to have a clear goal all of a sudden, and his actions became more frequent."
"I don't know what his purpose is yet, but I think we'll find out soon."
When Garp and Zephyr were chatting, Yunyi was also listening attentively. Hearing what Garp said, Yunyi probably knew what Roger was looking for.
No need to think, it must be the historical text.
Roger has been active in the East China Sea in recent years. His sudden action is probably because he knows that he has a terminal illness and wants to fulfill his dream of traveling around the world.
Roger, who has entered the New World, has probably seen the historical text of Fishman Island. His next goal should be to obtain all the historical texts and reach Raftel.
While Yunyi was thinking about this, Garp, who had just sat down for a while, suddenly stood up and said to Yunyi:
"Boy, come here, let me see if you have made any progress."
"I brought you to the navy, so I have to be responsible for you."
"If you waste your talent, I'll be very distressed!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After hearing this, Yuanyi came back to his senses and looked at Garp. He was suddenly surprised to find that all the food in front of Garp had been eaten up by him!
He was clearly chatting with Zefa, yet he had already finished eating so much?!
"Hey, stop staring blankly. You must have finished eating. Let's go and help digest the food."
Garp laughed and without giving Yunyi any time to say anything, he walked to Yunyi's side, grabbed Yunyi's arm, and walked into the yard.
"Hey, Garp, wait a minute."
Seeing Garp's hurried look, Zefa wanted to stop Garp. It was normal for Garp to check whether Yoriichi had grown, but he had to finish his meal first! You can't stop others from eating just because you've finished eating!
But just as Zephyr reached out to grab Garp's shoulder, Garp stopped him.
"Really willful," Yunyi sighed in his heart and said to Zefa:
"Teacher Zefa, I've already eaten, it's a good opportunity to help digest the food."
"It's okay."
As he spoke, Garp had already walked into the yard with Yunyi.
"Come on, come over here, let me see how much progress you've made."
Garp stood in the middle of the yard and hooked his finger at Yunyi. Hearing this, Yunyi turned and went to the nearby dojo, picked up a bamboo sword, and then returned to the yard and stood in front of Garp.
On the corridor beside the yard, Rosinante was holding a tray full of food. While eating, he was cheering for Yunyi in a vague voice: "Hey, Yunyi, come on."
"You have to hold on a little longer, hahahaha!"
Rossinanti shouted "Come on!" but his face showed a gloating look.
"I'm starting."
Yoriichi didn't look at Rossinante. After greeting Garp, he took a deep breath and rushed towards Garp with a knife.
"Oh! A frontal assault?"
"Yes, this is what the navy should be like!"
Garp smiled and praised.
Just as Garp was speaking, Yoriichir had already arrived in front of him, bent his body slightly, and stabbed Garp's chest from bottom to top with his bamboo sword.
"Oh! So fast!" Rossinanti, who was watching on the side, didn't see how Yoriichi drew his sword. By the time he could see the bamboo sword clearly, it had already been grabbed by Garp.
Garp, who was originally smiling, frowned and looked unhappy.
"stop!"
"Why is it still attacking like this?!"
"It's been almost twenty days since I brought you back to the navy."
"Given your physical fitness, you should be able to learn the Six Styles of the Navy. And since you have the aptitude, you should be able to master Haki quickly."
"Why are you still so weak?!"
After Yunyi attacked once, Garp called for a halt. He looked at Yunyi for a moment, then turned to look at Zephyr and asked:
"Hey, I'll hand this kid over to you for teaching."
"What did you teach?!"
"Why has this kid made no progress in more than half a month?"
Hearing this, Zefa snorted coldly and retorted: "How can there be no progress? Isn't it progress to enrich the knowledge in your brain?"
"He is still young, and mastering knowledge is the most important thing."
"I'll learn the Navy's Six Styles and other things when I grow up!"
Although Zefa spoke loudly, Garp could hear the guilt in Zefa's tone.
With his eyes narrowed slightly, Garp immediately thought of something, and casually threw the bamboo sword to Yunyi. He walked to Zephyr's side, put his arm around Zephyr's shoulders, and asked in a low voice:
"Is that what Steel Bone Sora meant?"
He instantly understood the reason. It must be said that Garp's brain is still quick. Unlike his grandson Luffy, Garp's style of action is "reckless", but it does not mean that Garp is stupid.
"Why are you asking if you already know?!"
Zefa snorted lightly, his tone a little unhappy.
Garp's guess was confirmed, he nodded slightly, looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi, and after a while, Garp shook his head and sighed:
"This won't work. We can't cultivate a strong navy this way."
"Next time we go out to sea, I'm going to take this kid with me!"
As soon as Garp finished speaking, Zephyr immediately rejected it: "No! He is too young, and this kid has not officially become a navy yet. You can't take him out to sea."
"This is an order!"
However, upon hearing this, Garp's voice immediately became louder:
"Foolish! A man of this age can already ride on the sea!"
"There are two kids on Roger's ship too. They should be about the same age as him."
"Pirates of this age can go out to sea, but our navy can't?! Huh?!"
"Orders? Bullshit orders!"
"Next time we go out to sea, I'm going to take this guy with me. If anyone has any objections, let them speak to me in person!"
"snort!"
After saying that, Garp snorted, turned around and left, quickly leaving Zephyr's residence. Looking at Garp's back as he left, Zephyr, who had been furious the previous second, suddenly smiled.
"Vice Admiral Garp is really easy to guess!"
Jiguo Yuanyi, who had been silent all the time, saw the smile on Zefa's face and sighed softly.
Originally, Yoriichi really thought that Zephyr and Garp had a quarrel, but when he saw the smile on Zephyr's face, Yoriichi knew that he was just trying to be simple.
If Yunyi guessed correctly, Garp might have been used as a gun by Zefa.
“Hahahahahaha!”
"This is for your own good!"
"You can't build a strong navy just by reading books!"
"This bastard came back just in time, hahahahaha!"
