Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Feast

When the results of the investigation came in, I was in one of the Rose's training rooms receiving an unknown ... Physical training, according to the very strict naval brother who knocked on the cabin door, this strongman's difficulty came from Admiral Akainu's request.

As for why Mr. General is so whimsical, I don't want to know at all, whether it is a sports waste in the past and present life, and now I am very happy to raise my small muscles, and the only thought is, goodbye manually.

it! This gang of sub-navy has eaten and eaten, and the housewife who is the best at woks like me is stir-frying, what kind of combat quality and conditioning do you need to exercise?!

I'm seasick and haven't fed yet!

If you stand for a little longer, you will have Venus in your eyes and go straight to sour water, what is the training? How accurate is the training to spit in the opponent's face?!

_(:зゝ∠)_

…………

The training room is located in the second cabin of the Rose, and it is reported that uh~ The naval brother said in a very proud tone that this training room is usually reserved for Admiral Sakasky, um~

Then, at this time, he lent it to me temporarily, and a few sparring soldiers, is that their general Mr. uh~ approachable or meticulous? Anyway, it's pretty much the same thing, right?

Admiral Akaiu was able to take the time to care about a helpless civilian like me, and try to improve my combat effectiveness in case of a battle, lest I delay and cause unnecessary losses to their navy.

Hmm~ It's a long string of complaints, I'll take a breath first.

Off topic, in short, the self-proclaimed Navy boy Lieutenant Ronald, that's what he meant.

I said that the manual smiled, and by the way, I would love to see you manually.

…………

After another unpalatable lunch, I was knocked on the door and taken all the way to the training room, and for the next hour or so, I was out of breath and unable to exert my hands and feet.

The intensity of the Navy's training program is very high, but it has nothing to do with me, Major Ronald uh~ probably knows the physical qualities of civilians, so he is very magnanimous, and only requires me to be able to improve a little flexibility in training.

For example, it is effective in dodging incoming knives.

For example, when you are being targeted by a gun/muzzle, you can find a hidden object to hide, and so on.

Then the problem arises.

The training room was empty without any equipment, with a log-colored floor, which looked like a fighting room, so where was the concealment? Several of the Navy who accompanied the training ... Is this going to play the rhythm of eagle catching chicks with me?

From the beginning of entering this room, I was at a loss for some reason, Major Ronald saw that I refused to cooperate with the training and could not proceed smoothly, his face became darker and darker, and finally, this little naval brother who was full of 'elite iron and blood' simply turned his hand with a low pressure and pulled out the knife he carried with him, without saying a word... Straight down the chop.

I was embarrassed, and in an instant... I can only rely on my own / ability to act———— screaming and squatting on the ground with my head in my hands.

Immediately after, I heard a shout of rage that weighed down my own voice.

"Stop!"

There was a loud bang of the door hitting the wall, and then a gust of wind swept through the room, and in an instant there was a dull sound of something flying upside down against the wall again.

The scream choked in my throat, I opened my eyes carefully, and when I raised my gaze slightly, I saw that the sharp blade that had slashed towards my head a second ago was nowhere to be found, and in front of me was replaced by a huge uh ~ small sumo wrestler Captain Sentomaru.

In addition, Major Ronald did not stand in his original position.

After a while, the young boy who rescued me from fire and water reached out like a divine soldier from heaven and pulled me, and when I stood firm, he suddenly twisted his face in the other direction, and his tone was so grim that he seemed to have crawled out of hell, "What are you doing?!" ”

Major Ronald, who was questioned, was leaning his back against the bulkhead, clutching his chest and coughing, his long knife falling at his feet, and his eyes were a little wolf-like.

However, in a few seconds, several other sparring officers who were standing in other corners of the training room a moment ago quickly rushed to the vicinity of the major who was sent flying, and their faces became not very good-looking.

After a while, perhaps because of the aura that lingered around the young sumo wrestlers, the several navies standing in front of Major Ronald quickly took on their own defensive postures.

Looking at the situation, it actually means that you want to fight on the spot?

Blinking my eyes, I cautiously reached out and grabbed the young boy's arm, coughing and not making a word, "That... It's training, uh~ I'm sorry I overreacted. ”

"Training?" After receiving the explanation, the little sumo wrestler Captain Zhan Momomaru's momentum slowed down, and turned his face, his little thin eyebrows furrowed, "My aunt was almost injured, if I hadn't avoided it just now..."

"Well—" I cast my fluttering eyes far away to the navy under the command of Admiral Akainu, if I hadn't avoided it... Let them explain it themselves, I'm already tempted to say goodbye manually, anyway.

…………

While the little sumo wrestlers walked away and began to discuss the problem in depth with a few navy boys, I sat down silently, raised my hand to wipe the cold sweat, and looked at the sky coldly.

I know, the training is uh~ a good intention, whether it's Admiral Akainu, or the admiral brother who acts on orders, in short... It's because I'm too negative about it, and it's a mess at the moment.

Major Ronald is actually uh~ It's understandable, he is doing things according to orders, and the reason for the bad effect is mine.

I, I'm really slow to react, or should I say there is a psychological barrier, after all, I have lived safely for more than ten years, and it is simply an impossible task to require me to be agile enough to become an Olympic karate champion all of a sudden~

Well~ I should work harder, I know, if I continue later~ I think, I should be able to discuss, is it to follow my rhythm to train the content?

For example, I used to know a little bit of 'three tricks for women's self-defense' or something?

Stared at the ceiling for a moment, then looked down at the tracksuit he had changed into before going out, and finally lowered his gaze to the horizontal position, and sighed quietly.

In a cold sweat, I had to change my clothes, and I said... There are no clothes in the luggage, and it is really congesting.

All the clothes and property are buried in the ruins of the admiral's dormitory building, and the luggage is still found in Nana's dormitory before the voyage uh~ plus a few temporary purchases, all kinds of inconveniences at sea these days, washing and changing have been...

And then, not knowing how many days there are left in the voyage? What if I really don't have any clothes to wear? The key is the pajamas! You can't just wear a big shirt and be empty under it like at home, right?

The Admiral Akainu next door really made me tremble, hey!

…………

A moment of imagining that the future might be wrapped in sweaty clothes, I turned my mind away with melancholy and thought about the ethereal destination.

The affairs of the naval fleet are classified, of course I can't know the details, and no one has told me, this situation of not knowing anything, I think, I will keep vomiting, and part of the reason is psychological, right?

It's like being locked up in a space where I can't contact the outside world, I can't grasp any situation, I don't know Nana's news, I... It was as if I was blindfolded, and the sense of crisis that I might be standing on the edge of a cliff under my feet forced me to become more and more unstable.

It's so annoying~

If you get out... If the last line of sanity collapses...

No, no, no, I shook my head, forcing myself to pull myself up.

Nana is still waiting for me, I can't mess up first, or else, bear child... What is she going to do?

…………

The little sumo wrestler and Major Ronald and his party stood a few meters away, talking in a small voice, talking and talking uh~ The atmosphere that had just solidified was eased, and it seemed to solve the misunderstanding?

After a few moments, the several of them discussed the result.

Major Ronald, who said that he could not continue to play with me, took out the phone snail and dialed the commander who was about to ask his commander on the other side if he could transfer the training task to the captain of the combat team of the Ministry of Science who volunteered.

The young sumo wrestler, the young boy turned around and stood next to me, and whispered to me that he had come to the training room for...

"Huh? The results of the investigation are out? I raised my face, I didn't want to get up, I just sat cross-legged on the ground, anyway, I was rude and didn't care about continuing to lose my image, "Yesterday's Devil Fruit? ”

"It was an accident, and my aunt's inference was correct." The young boy looked relieved, "The old man has spread the news that two hours before the appearance of the Devil Fruit in the restaurant yesterday, its former powerhouse was confirmed dead, in a bar on Sunness Island, died in a fight between pirates. ”

After a pause for a few seconds, he added, "That Devil Fruit belongs to the ancient subspecies of the animal line, the Fire Rat Fruit. ”

"I am really surprised by Mr. Yellow Ape's control of intelligence." I raised my eyebrows, and I was really amazed, didn't I? Even the time of death was known so precisely that the navy's control of the situation was watertight.

After being surprised, I thought about it and quickly froze again, "Huh? Fire rats? Isn't it a golden chipmunk? ”

The little sumo wrestler coughed, the corners of his mouth quivered, as if he wanted to laugh and held back, "It's a fire rat." He nodded earnestly, then raised his hand and pointed to the door of the training room, "This guy will be following my aunt from today." ”

Ha? I turned my head sharply, and uh, I saw a wide open door... After a pause for a few seconds, I lowered my gaze a few degrees before I saw a hairball squatting in the open space by the door.

A small one, with bean eyes, and a large cloth bag resting on the side.

…………

"What's a cloth bag?" Retracting my gaze from the hairball, I raised my head again, what was in that volume package? Won't it be the little golden chipmunk's luggage?

As for my question, the little sumo wrestler somehow blushed slightly?

His eyes drifted for a while, his face looked very embarrassed, and he stumbled even when he spoke, "The seasickness medicine that the Ministry of Science researched overnight for my aunt, and the old man said that if it didn't work, I would change the formula~"

The more he talked, the redder his face became, and he looked very, very embarrassed, as if he didn't have his hands and feet on the ground, "And... It seems that there is something else, I'll show you. ”

Before he could finish his sentence, he hurried away and walked to the door.

The corners of my eyes twitched, and I didn't know what to think for a while, seasickness medicine or something... In other words, there really doesn't seem to be anyone in the navy who can get seasick~ It's even possible that there are very few people in this world who are seasick to my kind of journey, right?

After all, the entire world's oceans occupy the vast majority of the area.

Then, if there is no demand, there is no market, and of course seasickness medicine is...

So, General Yellow Ape is a public weapon for private use? Am I being taken care of?

…………

The young boy walked to the door, and the vacancy created by his departure was filled by Major Ronald pacing over.

After standing still, the navy brother looked straight ahead, looked at the air, and said in a businesslike tone, "Admiral Sakasky will come in person to confirm the content of the training in a moment, as for the Ministry of Science... Senior General Sakasky is also invited to make a decision at that time. ”

Because of the angle, the hand of the navy brother hanging down at his side, and the phone snail pinched by his fingertips just took a look at me, so... The little snail wearing a hat and not smiling, the tentacle illusioned eyes met my eyes.

Belch? I subconsciously leaned back, stared at by the snail's anthropomorphic gaze.

"Lady Anna?" Major Ronald spoke again, "What do you think, ma'am?" ”

"I'm okay with that." I was quickly seated upright by the condescending gaze of this naval brother, and lowered my posture by the way, "I'm really sorry to disturb Admiral Akainu. ”

The corners of the navy brother's mouth rose a few centimeters, almost like a smile, but his expression seemed a little rusty, and after a few seconds of silence, he turned back to his companion, and the person took two steps and stopped, and turned around, "Lady Anna is actually not sluggish, but you suppressed the conditioned reflex. ”

"Madame don't have to worry about anything, your strength is within our reach."

"In battle, Madame is too self-controlled, but it puts you in danger."

…………

The little brother of the navy soon returned to his friends, and several people stood quietly in the corner of the training room, silent, and even stopped looking at them, like a stone statue, standing with their backs straight.

I lowered my eyes and sighed silently.

Then the little sumo wrestler hurried back, carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and the little golden chipmunk ran at his feet, and a puff of smoke flew under my nose, and stared at me for a few seconds, and then ran to the side... Squat quietly.

The young boy put the cloth bag in his hand on the ground, squatted down by himself, untied it a few times, and picked out the contents of the same thing, a few cardboard boxes without any logos, opened to plastic bottles, and instructions...

There are always four or five boxes, adding up to more than a dozen bottles of pills.

Then, at the bottom, the next carton looks different from them, it is kraft paper, and when you open one of the flat black leather... Small boxes? Half an arm is long and short, more than ten centimeters wide, and it is impossible to see what is stored.

Taking the black box handed to me by the young boy, I raised my eyebrows, and then pressed the metal buckle ———— inside the box, and placed a dagger in the shockproof cushion?

Jet-black leather sheath, unobtrusive appearance.

After hesitating for a few seconds, I reached out and picked it up, carefully grasped the handle of the knife, and gently dragged it out... Looking closely, I frowned.

The structure of the dagger is strange, the blade is forged from metal, but the blade part is a combination of another unknown substance, like a rock, grayish-white, and unedged, dull.

I don't know why, holding the hilt of the knife, the dagger actually gave me a... Strange...

Not a fear, but an uncomfortable feeling.

After holding my breath for a while, I raised my free hand, and my fingertips lightly touched the blade of the knife, and then I gasped slightly, and sure enough, there was a sense of weakness where my fingertips touched.

It was as if all my strength was overflowing, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

I withdrew my hand like a fire, raised my eyes to the small sumo wrestler, and asked him in a low voice, "Hailou Shi?" ”
