On the east side of the coast of Gamor, where the sun rises, a dozen and a half children stand facing the morning sun and facing the wind.

"I opened my eyes wide, I couldn't even stand this little bit of sunshine, how to fight, how to dominate the sea of stars, how to land on the island of St. Gago. The deputy leader of the pirates, Dlock, known for his Blood Axe, roared at the children with his red axe.

Leo stood at the front of the group of half-grown children, who made him the son of the chief, although he was the youngest and the youngest.

Although the morning sun is not dazzling, it is not good to look at it for a long time, which will make Leo have sour eyes, tears flowing, and there is no way to be lazy.

He had heard Redbeard say that it was the center of the Starry Sea Islands, and that it was a sacred place for all pirates, and that every pirate looked forward to living there.

An hour later, Dlock's roar rang out, "Rest, don't rub your eyes, don't close your eyes for a long time, let's start training after a quarter hourglass." ”

Leo resisted the urge to rub his eyes, looked at the hourglass that Dlocker had placed, and calculated the speed at which the sand flowed, and a quarter of an hourglass was equivalent to a quarter of an hour.

Time passed quickly, and without Dlock's greeting, everyone consciously stood up and waited for Dlock's order. Leo hadn't trained before, so he didn't know what to do next, so he had to learn from others.

"Leo, do you know what is the most important thing about fighting at sea?" Dlocker did not start training, but asked Leo with interest.

'I've never been to sea in two lifetimes combined, so how can I know. Leo was full of complaints, so he had to reply tentatively: "Water is the most important." In his awakening, since it was a war at sea, it was absolutely impossible not to learn the water.

"Wrong. Dlock began to roar in Leo's ear, "Stability, the most important thing is stability, how can you fight if you can't even stand on the boat, even if you jump into the sea, you have to stand first." ”

His ears were booming, and Leo didn't show the slightest impatience, this would be a matter of his own life, and Dlock's was right, he couldn't talk about combat effectiveness if he couldn't walk on the ground on a ship.

Dlocker ignored Leo's reaction, looked up and yelled at everyone: "A plank for each person, give me to stand on the surface of the sea, and I am not allowed to rest if I can't stand." Quick, run for me, whoever is the last to go into the water, Lao Tzu will make him look good. ”

Hula, more than a dozen people rushed to the shore door panel-sized plank, picked up one and rushed into the sea, although Leo was at the front, but his small size was quickly surpassed by others. Squeezed left and right to the last one, and by the time he ran into the sea with the plank, he was already standing on it.

'Bang' suddenly came from a pain in his buttocks, "What are you doing slowly, how can you lead everyone in the future, don't go up quickly." ”

Leo didn't dare to hesitate, pushed the plank to the chest-high water, and wanted to climb up the plank with both hands.

The other half of the plank was raised high and fell back into the water.

Bang bang bang.

The sound of planks crashing against the water kept sounding, and Leo tried all kinds of methods, let alone standing on it, even climbing up it.

"Stupid. Dlock's voice sounded behind him, "Don't you know that you're paddling up in shallow water? ”

'You said it earlier. Leo grumbled and ran back, this time standing on the plank in Dlock's way.

The planks were buoyant enough to hold up an adult, and it was even easier for a thin man like Leo, who thought it should be easy to stand on, but he didn't know how hard it was until he actually stood on it.

The water was constantly pounding on the shoreline, and the places where they trained were clearly carefully chosen, and the water was not going in one direction, but back and forth and swirling.

The plank is swaying back and forth, and the center of gravity of the body must be shaken, the speed can not be early or late, and the force can not be large or small, otherwise an error is that the board flyer falls into the water.

Leo fell into the sea again and again, ran back to shore again and again, and came back again and again, seeing him so clumsy, a dozen and a half children laughed one after another, regardless of his identity.

Dlocker didn't say a word, just watched Leo repeat, silently calculating the time he stood each time, and after a moment, a slight sigh came out of his mouth, shook his head and turned to walk towards the island.

As soon as Dlocky left, the group of half-grown children suddenly came alive, and although none of them dared to go into the water to be lazy, they gradually talked to each other loudly.

"Quero, how much time did you say it would take for Leo to be like us. ”

"I don't know, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult according to him. ”

"He's Redbeard's son. ”

“......”

Although it was a conversation between them, Leo knew that these people were meant to speak to him, and when he came to meet in the morning, he found that the man named Quiro was faintly the head of these people.

In his previous life, Leo went to the swimming pool to soak in the water, although he was not as miserable in this life, but he only knew water, and he didn't know anything about the nature of water.

There is nothing to say about hard training that is not as good as others, and the combined experience of more than 30 years let him know that these people are jealous of his status and have no corresponding ability.

Dlocker came back after walking half an hourglass, and after coming back, Leo obviously felt something different, no matter how bad he did before, Dlocker's focus was always on him, but this would ignore him.

Two hours later,

"Come back and get your weapons. The third time the hourglass flipped, Dlock's voice rang out, and when Leo finally passed by him, he asked, "Leo, have you figured out the weapon you use?" ”

"Bows and arrows. Leo said without thinking.

Dlocky was shocked, "The bow and arrow is a weapon that everyone must learn, and it is very useful when there is a distance, but it is of limited use in broadside combat, so you also choose a melee weapon as the main weapon in order to deal with broadside combat." ”

To put it bluntly, the battle between the two is a face-to-face fight, and Leo can't do such a dangerous thing, and said firmly: "The bow and arrow are my main weapons." ”

Pirates are a group of people who are accustomed to being free, not the army needs absolute obedience, how individuals choose others will not interfere, of course, no one will sympathize with you if there are any consequences.

A group of men took their weapons and returned to the sea, standing on the planks and waiting for Dlock's orders. Interestingly, the boy named Queiro came out alone and stood on the plank for a long time waiting for Leo.

Seeing this, Leo didn't understand what was going on, and thought maliciously, 'These people are obviously intentional, they want to see his jokes, maybe it is the deliberate act of the guy named Quero, in order to belittle him and elevate himself.' ’

In such a situation, as the son of a pirate leader, of course he can't back down, although he has a long-range weapon in his hand, but this is his personal choice, and he has to go up to it at this moment.

"Pay attention to your posture and follow what I teach you. Nine rounds are limited, whoever falls into the water the most times, the old rule, whoever carries the other party back. Dlocky finished speaking, and gave an order, "Begin." ”

Leo had a bow and no arrows, and in the face of the wooden knife chopped by Quero, he had to use the back of the bow to block, but the result can be imagined, the force in his hand was transmitted to his feet, and the sudden change of waves made Leo fall into the water in embarrassment......

"Hahaha, go home for dinner. At the end of the training, Queiro on Leo's back cheered loudly, and the people next to him, who also didn't have to walk, responded.

"Brothers, how about we see who goes back first?" cried out Queiro with a roll of his eyes.

"Okay, let's compare. ”

"It's better than who is afraid of whom. ”

Someone responded, and Queiro hurriedly organized, and regardless of whether Leo under him agreed or not, he asked people to stand in a row and began to prepare.

"One, two, three, start. ”

The child who fell into the water the most was regarded as a mount, and rushed up, Leo glanced at it coldly, and walked unhurriedly.

"Charge, Leo charge. Queiro patted Leo on the head and shouted excitedly. Wait until everyone else has run a distance to find that Leo didn't pay attention to him at all, "Leo, everyone else has run away, if you don't run, we will lose." ”

Leo ignored him, walked on his own, and when he reached the place where he lived, he threw Quiro down with both hands and walked straight to his house.

Queiro fell to the ground with agility, looked at Leo's background, smiled extremely proudly, and walked towards his house with his head held high.

In the room made of grass and trees, Leo looked at the people in the room in surprise, and said unnaturally: "Dad, why are you here?"

Redbeard glanced at Leo deeply, and said with some anger: "I know about today's training, Dlock said that you don't have the talent for naval warfare, I trust his judgment, but this can't decide everything." ”

"There's another training session in the evening, and this one is different from the past, and I hope you succeed. Otherwise, when I go to sea in six days, I will do what I say, as if I had never had a son like you. "After that, he left, just like Redbeard's style.

No, Redbeard has always been like this to him in his memory, but Leo has noticed that there are some subtle aspects that Redbeard always thinks about him very thoughtfully, especially when he gains some good things, and the first thing that comes to mind is him.

"Evening?important training?That's really looking forward to it, but I won't waste such an afternoon, maybe I'm not talented, but I'm definitely not going to be what you think. ”

Leo looked at the distant background, muttered to himself, gulped down the lunch brought by Redbeard, picked up the short bow and headed towards the morning training ground without looking back.
