When the warship carrying Polusalino and others arrived at the destination of the trip, Palawan, the twenty cadets of the elite naval class all widened their eyes in unison.

Although I have seen the PPT in the basic theory class and heard General Zefa speak, the real appearance of such a scene in front of me still surprised these recruits who have not seen much of the world.

The sea where Palawan Island is located is blown by the wind and waves, and even dark clouds can be seen in the distance, which is an ordinary sea; On the other side, the sea was flat and waveless, and there was not a single ripple in sight, as if it were stagnant water. The two seas are close to each other with completely different weather conditions, separated by an invisible line, close but not interfering with each other.

(Is there no wind zone in the forbidden zone of life, it's like a polarized world...... ）

Polusalino thought to himself as he disembarked from the port of Palawan with the crowd.

The supreme commander of the Palawan naval base, a major general named Ciro, was waiting for everyone in the harbor with his men early. Under his introduction, Polusalino and the others learned that the Palawan Naval Base is a half-training and half-scientific base.

The semi-training targets are naturally the elite cadets of the Navy, including some of the quasi-high-ranking generals who have become commodore generals, and the semi-scientific ones are the study of the large sea kings here (by the way, these numerous and extremely destructive creatures are closely monitored).

However, although Major General Ciro did not say it, Polusalino estimated that the real direction of scientific research here must be more than that.

(It is estimated that it is the navigation technology of the windless zone, and before Vegapunk joined the World Government, I don't know how many breakthroughs the World Government made in this regard...... ）

After a little greeting, General Zefa rejected Major General Ciro's proposal to let everyone rest for a while, and directly asked a Shao Zuo to bring the lottery box.

Looking at the No. 20 paper slip in his hand, Polusalino smiled helplessly and turned to Sakasky on the side: "How many are you?" Sakaski. ”

"Number 1."

"You're actually No. 1, I'm No. 20...... Stoloberry and Ghost Spider, how many are the two of you? ”

"I'm number 11."

"Number 13."

The rest of the people were also communicating with their companions about their lots, and when Zefa saw this, he grinned:

"These numbered islands are generally about the same level of difficulty, but there are very few exceptions. Which island you go to depends entirely on your luck. Again, on the sea, luck is also part of strength......"

(Why don't I believe in all the luck of it...... Sakaski's No. 1 and my No. 20 don't look like islands of average difficulty...... Teacher Zefa, you are definitely doing it...... ）

Polusalino complained in his heart.

"Alright, let's go change our clothes after the lottery, and we'll still meet at this port in five minutes."

General Zefa commanded.

……

Five minutes later, twenty elite class students in black shorts regrouped in the harbor - their original clothes and belongings were all stored, and only the black pocketless shorts were allowed.

Looking at everyone's appearance, Zefa nodded with satisfaction:

"Very well, then let's get straight to it. Who is Number One? ”

"It's me."

Sakasky stepped forward.

"Well, follow me."

Looking at Sakasky, who had left with Zefa, Polusalino was actually a little puzzled - the current navy should not have obtained the technology to use sea building stones to install on the bottom of the ship and then sail in the windless zone, how could Zefa send these elite class students to the various islands located in the windless zone?

This doubt stayed with Polusalino all day, and the students of the elite class were sent away one by one, until when the sun was about to set, only he was left as the number 20.

"Polusalino, come with me."

General Zefa, who had returned again, said this to Polusalino.

Polusalino noticed that Admiral Zefa was a little different from when he had returned—his body and hair were covered in seawater.

"Mr. Zefa, should you ......?"

"Ah, you noticed,"

Zefa waved his hand disapprerovingly, "When I sent the No. 19 flying squirrel just now, the boat was discovered and attacked by the giant sea kings. But fortunately, he has been delivered, saving a lot of trouble. I slaughtered the sea king and swam back. ”

"Swim back ......"

For Zefa's understatement, Polusalino could only smile bitterly.

But think about it, the old Hades King Reilly can rely on the breaststroke to cross the windless belt, not to mention the great general Zefa, who is at the peak of his strength...... Roger, Karp, Zefa, Future Redhead, and Hawkeye...... These top physical powerhouses who can occupy a place in the world without the ability of Devil Fruits, may have their strength declined greatly when they were old, but before their strength declined, they were monsters in the true sense of the word......

Moments later, just as Polusalino had expected, Zefa took him aboard a small boat powered by pedaling, which was responsible for pedaling.

"This ship is on standby, and it really doesn't feel very smooth to step on."

Zefa chuckled as he smoked his cigar.

Looking at the small boat that was flying fast because of Zefa's high-speed pedaling, Polusalino could only smile bitterly - after stepping on the boat for a day, he swam back from the windless zone and didn't know where to swim once, and he could still maintain such a speed......

"You say yes, that's it......"

Suddenly, Polusalino seemed to think of something, and changed his words: "Teacher Zefa, isn't that base before also conducting research on windless sailing technology?" ”

"Oh? Why do you think that? ”

Zefa raised an eyebrow, although he didn't respond positively, his attitude was already obvious.

"Just think about it,"

Polusalino, who was sitting on the boat, shrugged his shoulders, "If it's really the same as Major General Ciro said, that base is a giant sea king that studies and monitors here, and the headquarters will definitely not only have a major general stationed here." ”

"Why do you say that?"

Zefa asked with interest.

"It's not that I belittle Major General Ciro's strength, but in front of the large Sea King, he, a Major General, is no different from an ordinary navy,"

"And if it's really for the purpose of monitoring and studying the large Sea Kings in the Windless Belt, either they should be stationed in the Lieutenant General of the Solid Force Sect or a combat force of your level, or they should be ordinary colonel-level officers who don't expect them to fight at all." For a major general who does not play any role in monitoring and studying the large sea kings, his strength and rank are not up or down, and it is too strange to be stationed here. ”

"I can't imagine that you can think of this layer......"

Zefa showed a surprised expression, then nodded, and muttered, "You're right, the real research content of this base is not the giant sea king, but the technology of warships sailing in windless belts...... But then again, why are you kid asking this? ”

"The results of this research are not obvious for the time being, right? Mr. Zefa,"

Polusalino smiled, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have let a big future like you serve as an escort for the elite class cadets." ”

"Well, almost,"

Zefa shrugged his shoulders, but the speed under his feet did not slow down in the slightest, "Actually, it was supposed to be me and Karp together, but that guy went back to his hometown in the East China Sea." ”

"That's right...... Mr. Zefa, you may not believe it, but I am a science enthusiast, and I actually have an immature idea about warships sailing in windless areas......"
