On the day of the demise of the Draconians, the spies of the Navy monitoring Wano Country came with the news that Orrick had confirmed an alliance with Kaido, the "Hundred Beasts".

This means that a year later, they will face not only the ancient weapons "Sea King" and "Draco Rebellion" Orrick, but also the army of beasts and their leader, "Beast" Kaido, who have been concentrating on building troops for several years!!

To be honest, if this was the case when he first came to this world, Ron would never expect the Navy to win this war.

Whether he can protect himself is the issue he is most concerned about.

It is true that the Navy now has the strength to fight a war, but there is no doubt that it is still a tough battle.

The largest epic battle in history in 800 years!!

"And I have to go to Caesar at this time, after all, it caused the extinction of the Draconians...... The indirect reason is always him, and if he is not found, he can't give Yimu an explanation. ”

"It's ......"

Even if the five old stars didn't explain, Ron could think of what Emu's expression was at this moment.

As the saying goes, it also depends on the owner to beat a dog.

For that adult, ambition and dreams are nothing more than a joke and a pastime, just like the chilled juice on the table when eating spicy crayfish.

But if someone spits in the juice, the mood will definitely not be much better, and ten out of ten will be slapped in the face.

"Trouble!"

Knock knock!

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Ron put the wooden box away and cocked Erlang's legs: "Come in." ”

Smack......

The first thing to hear was the sound of a hard object hitting the floor, but it wasn't Smoker, who had lost his crutches a few days ago, and as long as he didn't make a big move, his life was saved.

So......

"Yo! Is it finally out of danger, Kirby? ”

"Ho...... Ho...... Excuse me, General! ”

Kirby leaned his hands on his crutches against the door panel, his face pale and panting. Two doctors in white coats followed behind, pushing the IV stand and holding the drip.

"I'm very sorry General Canglong, Captain Kirby said that he would come to see you no matter what, so ......"

"I see, then you should go back first...... Anyway, you can't die. ”

Doctor: "......"

Which eye do you see that it won't die!!

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Kirby said as he moved his crutches and propped himself up into the door, then fell to the ground with a "poof", his bandages soaked in blood.

"Oh no, his wound is open again!"

"Hemostasis, haemostasis with you?!"

Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Ron rubbed his eyebrows helplessly: "If you're here to make trouble for me, I admit that you succeeded." ”

"Hug ...... I'm sorry! ”

Kirby was helped up and took a deep breath: "I have to come here in person to do this, even if it is death." ”

As he spoke, he struggled to stand up straight and pushed the doctor away.

"This is the request of my life, please General Canglong......"

"Please take me as an apprentice!!

This is to ......

Apprentice?

Ron looked at this scene in amazement, am I also a man at this stage of life?

I always feel that I am aging before I get old!

Obviously, I don't even have a girlfriend, but it's the same as a reader......

He then waved his hand and motioned for the doctors to leave.

When there were only two people left in the room, Ron lit a cigar.

"Looks like this big war has had a big impact on you, Kirby."

"Yes!"

In a 90° bow, Girby panted and clenched the wool on his knees.

"I've tried so hard, but I still can't do anything."

"Whether it's when Nami was taken away, when she was in the war, and this time...... There are so many important things right in front of me, but I can't protect them! ”

Tick, tick......

Kerby, who seems to have grown tall and has grown faith, has returned to the character of a crybaby, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes.

He bit his lip stubbornly.

"It's true that even Mr. Zefa recognized my strength, saying that I was able to take charge of the navy on my own, but ...... Not enough! ”

"Not enough!!"

Kirby raised his head and cried, "If only I could be a little stronger, a little stronger, strong enough to have the ability to protect them...... They won't ...... either."

The garrison life in the New World is difficult and difficult, and when he first arrived, he suffered a lot of losses, and even if the pirates here are not strong, the level of madness and cunning is by no means the first half of the time.

But Kirby has always enjoyed it, because he can clearly feel that he is growing after every battle of wits with the pirates.

I'm moving towards my dreams.

I thought that the days would be so peaceful and uneventful, but the "fire disaster" embers came.

The real monster-level scourge is coming!

He shattered Kirby's dream with a single punch, telling him that death was just a simple thing, and that the companions he regarded as treasures, everything he had to protect even with his life, and that even the strength to move his fingers was superfluous for a powerhouse of Ember's level.

It's too weak!

After waking up, Kirby was confused for a few minutes, and then a sense of anger that had nowhere to vent piled up in his chest.

Is this really the kind of thing I want?

watched his companions fall in a pool of blood one by one, powerless to save them, but he repeatedly escaped death.

No, that's not the truth!

What I want is power!

It is the power to protect one's companions and protect everything that is dear to oneself!

It may seem cheap and unsightly, but it's all good...... That kind of pain and despair made Kirby even more uncomfortable when facing the blade slashed by Ember!

So I don't want to have any more.

Hearing this, Ron exhaled a puff of smoke rings.

"You, crave power, don't you?"

"Yes! So please, please take me as an apprentice, General! ”

"Don't come to the door one by two, it's ...... trouble"

Ron sighed helplessly and leaned back on the back of the sofa chair: "I'm not talking about excuses, but it's really useless for you to find me." ”

"My main means of combat is fruit ability, which I can't teach you, and body arts, swordsmanship, including six styles, there are many teachers in the navy who are more suitable than me."

"How so?! Ahem......! ”

Kirby coughed up a pile of blood clots, his face full of disbelief: "Mr. Zefa said that you are the man who broke the fastest graduation time of the new barracks; At the same time, he is also one of the best performers in survival training; It is the fastest existence ever to master all six styles! ”

This kind of person actually says that his physical skills are not as good as others, who will it be?

"No, really, it does."

Ron shrugged: "The reason for breaking the six-style record is that my self-healing ability is not afraid of death, so that I can directly start the part that others carefully need to lay a solid foundation in stages for several years, and it will be fine the next day anyway, so the progress is fast." ”

"Swordsmanship, physical arts, and so on, to be honest, I have never taught systematically with Mr. Zefa, he just retains his strength to engage in actual combat with me, and lets me explore the most suitable way to fight in actual combat...... At most, keep my hands on the critical moment to prevent me from actually being killed. ”

"You can't learn this way, can you?"

Zefa's unsparing offensive rhythm is extremely oppressive, and it will really kill people!

"How could it be ......?"

Kirby looked desperate.

As Ron said, his self-mutilating training habits are still circulating in the boot camp, and the two senior brothers, Xiuzo and Binz, who have been demoted to the rank of deputy coach, can catch a few little ones who are not afraid of death to imitate every month.

These people don't mean anything other than to put themselves in the main hospital. The irreproducibility of this training model has been confirmed from all aspects.

Kirby asked himself, will he be able to persevere?

No, there is a degree to everything, even if it is a physical workout.

Beyond that line, what awaits you is not a breakthrough, but death!

"Original...... So ......"

Kirby's whole body was gray, and he straightened up weakly, took his cane, and walked towards the gate.

"Sorry to interrupt, I'm going to ...... away"

"But!"

Suddenly, Ron smiled slightly.

"Although there is no possibility of learning from physical skills, I have some experience in fruit development."

"Huh??"

Kirby looked up blankly, looking at Ron in bewilderment.

I saw him reach out and touch the wooden box that had been on the table from the beginning, and then, in the shocked eyes of Kirby, took out a bright orange and yellow fruit.

"If it's natural, it's even more handy."

Syllable! Syllable!

Ron laughed as he tossed the burnt fruit up and down.

"How? Willing to sell your soul to the devil? Kirby! ”

looked at him stunned, and after a long time, Kirby came to his senses.

"Whether it's a demon or an angel, as long as you can protect your most important thing, even if you become a Shura?!"

He put his cane aside and fell to his knees solemnly.

"Thank you so much!"

"Your great kindness will never be forgotten in the next !!"

"Huh? What did you just call me, I didn't hear clearly? ”

"No, thank you so much, Master!"
