Chapter 40: Going Our Own Way (1)
Time flies before parting, and in the blink of an eye, there is only one night left, and the recruits will go their separate ways, and I don't know when I will see you again.
And on the night before this parting, hundreds of recruits gathered on the training ground to prepare for a grand banquet. Under the starry night, bonfires burn brightly on the sand, and the fiery red colors shine on everyone's faces, as if they are coated with rouge.
The recruits who participated in the party took off their standard military uniforms during training and wore civilian clothes that they rarely wore one by one, and they did not see the usual restraint and seriousness, and their faces were full of hope for the future.
On the temporary stage, there are impromptu naval talents, and even a few people have completely let themselves go, and the peculiar way of performing is applauded by the audience, and I don't know if I will regret what I did tonight when I wake up.
Glancing at the classmates on the stage who were twisting their buttocks and yelling, Smoker said that he didn't know these stupid people.
"Lei, isn't Teacher Zefa coming?" As the initiator of the banquet, Smoker was very concerned about whether Zefa, the teacher, could be there.
Because he was Zefa's son, Lei Dangren (forced to reluctantly) took on the task of inviting Zefa to attend, "He was called away by the Marshal of the Warring States, and he may have to come a little later, and he asked us to wait for him before leaving." Ray's tone was dull, as if he was tired.
"Really?" Smoker had no choice but to nod, but when he saw that Ray was always sitting on the edge and eating alone, he immediately expressed his displeasure, "Hey! Ray, why don't you play with everyone! ”
"I'm sorry, I really don't like this kind of lively occasion, and I've been weird when I've drunk." Ray casually threw the leftover bones on the plate, clearly refusing.
"Strange? What's weird? Instead, Smoker was intrigued by Ray's words and looked at Ray with a thirst for knowledge.
"I guess it's just that there are more talkers!" Ray remembered stealing wine from Harada on the bookshelf when he was a child, only to wake up drunk and see the incredible stares of his teachers, which Harada had told him.
"Strange? Interesting! I'm going to have to get him to drink more, and I'm going to see what happens. Smoker was thinking in his heart, and even planned to pull Tina into the water, but he wasn't sure that he would get drunk alone.
At the same time, in the office of the Warring States, a group of generals gathered.
"Sengoku! What the hell is the matter with calling me back? Karp sat on the sofa without an image, holding the Senbei Kazkaz hidden by the Warring States and eating.
In view of the generals present, the green tendons on the forehead of the Warring States jumped, ignoring how Karp found his senbei, and just said in a serious voice: "There are a few things that you need to know about this time. ”
"A day ago, Hundred Beasts Kaido found the Whitebeard Pirates alone, and soon after, the roar of battle came from the island, and we suddenly lost contact with the nearby scouts when they passed the news, and now we have lost the surveillance of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Hundred Beast Pirates." Sweeping over every serious face present, Sengoku's eyes blurred under the reflection of the lenses, making it impossible for the generals to see the meaning, "So, the navy now needs to send personnel to find out what is going on at close range, and who of you wants to go there." ”
There was silence in the room, and some generals even craned their necks and lowered their heads, for fear that the Warring States would look at them.
In the lieutenant general, Karp cooperated with his old friend and waited silently, but the sound of eating senbei made the serious atmosphere dissipate a lot; The pheasant drooped her eyelids and looked languid, as if she was about to fall asleep; Akainu was eager to try, but was suppressed by Sengoku's eyes; The yellow ape was one of the few people here who saw through the thoughts of the Warring States, and stood aside silently.
Zefa, who was sitting opposite Karp, also looked at the generals present, many of whom were students he taught, and the silent atmosphere at this time made him a little embarrassed.
However, there are still many brave people in the navy, and after a while, several brigadier generals and rear admirals took the initiative to ask for help and were willing to lead the team.
Silently noted down a few generals who stood up, and Sengoku waved his hand to signal them to retreat, "Although you have the courage, but this kind of team still needs a little more experienced people to lead the team, if you have the will, you can follow." ”
As he spoke, Sengoku turned his gaze to Karp.
"I have a ...... Forget it, I knew it was me. Karp ruthlessly ate all the senbei of the Warring States and complained in his heart.
"Let the pheasant come with me, his abilities are very useful at sea." Looking at the drowsy Kuzan, Karp remembered the energetic way he looked when he followed his ass.
Nodding slightly, indicating that he agreed, Sengoku went on to talk about the next piece of news: "His Majesty Qiwu Hai has recruited two people at present, among which the sand crocodile Klockdahl recruited troops in the first half of the Great Passage, and I don't know what he will do next, and Hawkeye Mihawk asked for a pardon for the shipwright who built the ship for One Piece before joining, although the world government suspected that there was a conspiracy behind this, but finally agreed to this request." ”
Just when the generals thought that Sengoku was going to talk about the issue of the Seven Martial Seas, Sengoku suddenly changed his words: "But none of this is important, after all, it has nothing to do with us, what we really need to pay attention to is that the princess Otohime of Fish-Man Island will visit the Navy Headquarters soon." I don't know why the World Government approved this request, but I hope you will take security precautions, as any missteps on human soil will definitely lead to a war between humans and fishes. ”
Waiting for the generals to digest all the news, Sengoku announced the dismissal of the meeting, leaving only Karp and Zefa.
"Karp, you're going tonight! The collision between Whitebeard and Kaido is very likely to change the situation in the new world, and according to our information about Kaido, I am afraid that another overlord has been born. As soon as the people were gone, Sengoku became more serious in front of the two old friends.
Zefa also realized that this was likely to lead to turmoil in the world, and looked at Karp solemnly with a solemn expression.
However, Karp's expression was very relaxed, "Don't worry so much, after all, it has already happened, and we can't stop it, we can only do what we have to do." So, I'm going to do what I have to do, and you two don't relax, and you don't need me to remind you! ”
Sengoku and Zefa looked at each other and smiled, "Of course, my old friend. ”
......
The New World, a shattered island.
The whitebeard with a slight scar on his body panted and looked at the man half-kneeling on the ground in front of him, with surprise in his eyes, "The young man now is really terrible, and he only vomited blood when he ate my fist." ”
The man who was praised by Whitebeard had two horns on his head, black hair and a shawl, his upper body was half-naked, and he had a scaly tattoo on his left shoulder, and his whole person exuded a wild aura, like an ancient demon god.
"I'm really disappointed, Whitebeard, can't even you kill me?" Clutching the bloody knife wound on his right rib, Kaido stood up as if nothing had happened.
"What a disappointment for me!"
