In the forests of the Kolpo Mountains, Karp didn't care about the mood of the two little ones at all, and waved his "punching bag" wantonly.

Every now and then there was a loud roar in the woods, and under Karp's attack, the dense woods quickly turned into a mess, and the broken trees fell to the ground.

Under Karp's threat, Ace and Sabo kept moving and dodging in the forest, and their movements were so agile that they couldn't tell that they were just children under ten years old.

Not to mention the agility and proficiency of the dodge, the attack intention of Karp is also very accurate, although there is an ingredient in Karp's deliberate release of water, but in the eyes of Ji Guoyuanyi, the talents of Ace and Sabo are far beyond others.

The new navy also adopted many orphans, and those children, after experiencing the favor and education of the new navy, often became the reserve of the new navy at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and continued their studies at the naval school in Dressrosa.

It is not until they reach adulthood that they are added to the ranks.

Ji Guoyuanichi once inspected the naval school managed by Koshiro Shizuki, and the best talents in it may not be able to reach this level at the age of Ace and Sabo.

Ordinary people will never have the ability of Ace and Sabo after two or three years of training.

After all, not everyone is able to have a "weapon of time" like Kirby, who can work two hundred times harder than the Navy of the Headquarters.

Although Karp's method of training children is not visible, it has to be said that Ace and Sabo have grown up well under him, and their abilities are very strong.

"Don't just dodge!"

"A man who lives on the sea will always encounter an enemy stronger than himself, and in the face of such an opponent, can you only run away?"

"Observe your opponent's attacks and look for their flaws!"

"You have to learn to use your brains, only then will you be able to defeat opponents who are stronger than you."

"Can you run for a lifetime?"

In the forest, Karp's figure fell from the sky and smashed into Ace. Ace seemed to have noticed it, and while quickly dodging with a backward jump, he glanced back at Karp who had fallen to the ground, and hurriedly fled.

After seeing Ace's escape, Karp shouted with a grin.

"I didn't say I wanted to be in the navy!"

"What I want is—"

"Free!"

A loud shout suddenly came from behind Karp, and Sabo's figure suddenly flew out from behind a broken stump not far behind Karp, holding the steel pipe in his hand, and smashed it into Karp's back.

"Bastard old man, you've been tricked!!"

At the same time as Sabo made a sneak attack, Ace, who was running away, suddenly showed a bright smile on his face, the long knife in his hand turned slightly, the back of the knife went down, and he immediately turned around and accelerated towards Karp, swinging the knife and smashing it into Karp's knee.

This sudden scene made Karp stunned slightly, and in the next second, Karp quickly reached out.

Sabo only felt that suddenly in front of him, Karp's figure was already close to him, and at the same time, he reached out and grabbed Sabo's steel pipe.

Sabo only felt a huge force coming from his arm, dragging him back to the ground quickly, and the next second, a crisp golden sound sounded from the clearing, and Karp grabbed the steel pipe with one hand, blocking Ace's attack.

"What!?"

Ace and Sabo both shouted at the same time when they saw this scene, but before they could react, Karp threw Sabo on Ace's body.

"Bang!"

After a muffled thud, Sabo's body pressed against Ace's body, and the two children flew out upside down in unison and fell to the ground.

"Hahaha!"

"Little ghost, it's still far away!"

"Hahahaha!"

Ace and Sabo both got up from the ground with their heads covered, and the fall just now was really not light, giving the two little ones a big fall, Karp looked at the two children with gray faces, and let out a hearty laugh.

The two children, Ace and Sabo, are actually very "wild", and they can often hunt in primeval forests like Mount Corpo without the care of adults, which shows the terrifying ability of the two children.

And the brothers who grew up together since childhood also cooperate quite tacitly and have ideas, which makes Karp very satisfied.

Of course, the most important thing is the kindness of these two children.

Sabo, who attacked him, was obviously able to target the back of the head where his defense was weaker, and Ace was obviously able to use a blade when attacking him, but neither of these two children chose to do so, which shows the hearts of these two children.

Compared with the so-called combat talent, Karp hopes that these two children will have such a kind heart, and only such a person can bring something different to the navy.

He didn't want the kids he taught to be the kind of ruthless killing machines.

"Let's stop here for today's training."

"I'm hungry!"

"You two guys, prepare your own food for tonight!"

Karp looked at Ace and Sabo not far away, and stretched out his fingers to dig into the boogers and ordered, so that the two children did not feel guilty as adults at all.

"Huh?"

"Hey, old man, you're an adult!"

"Even if you want to prepare dinner, you should prepare it, right?!"

Ace couldn't help but ask angrily when he heard Karp's words.

"It's also training."

"Do you want adults to prepare food for you when you go to sea?"

In the face of Ace's questioning, Karp replied nonchalantly. Hearing his words, Ace and Sabo couldn't help but glance at each other, and then couldn't help but sigh together.

Karp's willfulness as an old child, in fact, is not the first time they have been taught.

Karp glanced at the two children, a big smile on his face, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, you only need to prepare your own share." ”

Karp said, flicking his fingertips with his boogers and leaving the clearing with his hands on his head. Seeing this, Ace and Sabo glanced at each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They had seen Karp's appetite, and it was not easy to get such a big prey.

If they just prepare their part, they don't have any pressure at all.

The Corpo Mountains are rich in natural resources, with a large number of small and medium-sized herbivores and medium-large carnivores.

Ace and Sabo have rich experience in hunting, follow the animal footprints, and in less than an hour, they tracked down a foraging goat, Ace didn't say a word, the long knife in his hand quickly skimmed out, and the sharp blade was firmly inserted into the goat's body, and the goat of nearly 100 catties fell in response.

Ace and Sabo then skinned the goat on the spot, gutted it, and then wrapped the meat in the fur and rushed back to the camp.

When the two returned to camp, Karp was leaning against the carcass of a beast the size of a baby elephant chatting with a red-haired youth.

Seeing the two children coming back with their prey, Karp smiled and praised, "Yo? ”

"Very capable!"

"Not bad."

As he spoke, Karp pointed to the red-haired young man beside him and continued towards Ace, "Ace, this guy has come to see you. ”

At this time, Ace and Sabo had already dropped their prey, and looked at the red-haired young man beside Karp with some surprise.

This young man is none other than Jiguo Yuanyi.

Ace grew up in Dressrosa since he was a child, and he is familiar with Jiguoyuan, and Sabo has also been with Jiguoyuan for a while, so he is no stranger to Yuanyi.

"Rujiu asked me to come and see you."

Ji Guoyuan beckoned to Ace and said with a smile. Hearing his mother's name from Jiguo Yuanyi's mouth, Ace couldn't help but be a little excited, and hurriedly asked, "Mom, is she okay?!" ”

"I heard about Dressrosa."

Without waiting for Ace to finish speaking, Ji Guoyuan interrupted with a smile: "Your worries are unnecessary. ”

"Lu Jiu is a teacher at the Naval Academy, and under Koshiro, there will be no problem."

"I'm coming here this time, mainly to ask you, do you want to go back to Dressrosa?"

After leaving Arlegia, he did not immediately rush back to the new world, but deliberately returned to the Goya Kingdom for a walk, the main purpose was for the sake of the two children Ace and Sabo.

The new navy has gradually stabilized, and Dressrosa has completely sided with Jikunichi after being attacked by Doflamingo's gang.

For a long time to come, the new navy will enter a period of accumulating energy, and Ji Guoyuan intends to take advantage of that time to cultivate the younger generation.

Ace and Sabo, who are extremely talented, are naturally the objects that Ji Guoyuan intends to cultivate.

"Back to Dressrosa?"

Hearing Ji Guoyuan's words, not only Ace was a little stunned, but even Sabo and Karp were also a little stunned. On Sabo's face, after hearing the news, his face was obviously darkened and a little lost.

"Yes, back to Dressrosa, it's not just you, it's Saab."

"If Sabo wants to, let's go to the New World together."

"Don't worry about life, I'll be your guardian."

Ji Guoyuan knew very well what kind of situation Sabo was, and Sabo's expression changed, and Ji Guoyuan saw it in his eyes, so he naturally wouldn't ignore the thoughts in this child's head.

"Boy, what are you talking to yourself?!"

"I didn't hear you say you came here to take these two kids away!"

After hearing Ji Guoyuanyi's words, Ace and Sabo had not yet expressed their position, Karp took the lead in shouting, looked at Ji Guoyuan Yi with a serious face, and said loudly:

"These two boys can't follow you, they have to become excellent naval people in the future."

"How can I mess with you as a wanted criminal!"

"I disagree!"

Seeing Karp's reaction so big, Ji Guoyuan was not surprised at all. After Roger's death, Karp actually took a back seat, and after Long and Ji Guoyuan left the navy one after another, Karp's mentality was actually a little broken.

Over the years, he has put all his thoughts on Ace, Luffy and a few of them, once the vacation is free, he will return to the East China Sea, he has high hopes for these children, hoping that these children can inherit his mantle.

Karp is not optimistic about the revolutionary army of the dragon and the new navy of Jiguo Yuanyi, from the very beginning, he is not optimistic!

He didn't want children like Ace and Sabo to continue to jump into the "fire pit" of Jiguo Yuanyi.

"After returning to Dressrosa, I will let Koshiro personally train the two of them to lay a solid foundation."

"When I'm older, I'll teach the two of them how to fight."

"I was able to train them to be truly great in the Navy."

"If you let Lieutenant General Karp train you, I'm afraid these two children will take a detour."

Ji Guoyuan said with a smile.

"Bastard!"

"You bastards chose the path for yourselves!"

"What does it have to do with me?!"

"Go back with you, these two guys have taken a detour from the very beginning!!"

Karp was stepped on by Ji Guoyuan's sore foot and said angrily.

"But you can get stronger, don't you?"

Ji Guoyuan didn't mean to deny it, after all, no matter how beautiful he said, he and his new navy were "criminals" in the eyes of the vast majority of people in the world. There is no way to argue with this.

Just when Ji Guo Yuan Yi and Karp were arguing about the fate of their two children, Ace glanced at Sabo for a while, and then looked up at Ji Guo Yuan Yi, and said loudly:

"Mr. Jiguo!"

"I don't want to go back to Dressrosa."

"I want to stay here!"

Ace made a sound, and both Ji Guoyuan and Karp both turned their heads to look at Ace. Hearing Ace's words for the first time, Ji Guoyuan was still a little surprised, and quietly watched Ace wait for the following.

"I want to see a different world with my own eyes!"

"In Dressrosa, my mother protected me too well, and I couldn't get stronger!"

"Even the naval school you built!"

"You will not train us like the old man, and if so, when will we be able to take charge of our own affairs?"

People in this world are generally precocious, Ace is very smart, and he is the son of Lu Jiu, and when he was a child, he often followed his mother to the naval school.

He felt that the training at the naval school was too "dogmatic", he didn't like it, not why, but his heart told him not to live like that.

The training method of the naval school cannot be said to be the most suitable for Ace and Sabo, but can only be said to be suitable for the vast majority of ordinary people. The way to cultivate geniuses naturally needs some changes.

Ji Guoenichi wants Koshiro to personally train Ace and Sabo is also this idea, but now it seems that Ace does not fully understand Jikoku's words, and he doesn't know that letting Koshiro personally train is completely different from the Navy School.

It's just that Jiguo Yuanyi didn't have the meaning to explain, and from Ace's demeanor, Jiguo Yuanyi also saw some other things.

Ace didn't want to leave Saab behind.

For Saab, the Kingdom of Goa is his hometown, living in the Kolpo Mountains, and Saab survives on his own. But when you go to Dressrosa, Saab becomes a 'parasitic fence'.

Different living environments have different mentalities.

Although Ace is young, his mind is very delicate, he saw the reluctance in Sabo's eyes, and bluntly rejected Jiguo Yuanichi.

"I see."

Lowering his eyebrows slightly, Ji Guoyuan said secretly in his heart, and shook his head with a smile.

"In that case, then I won't force you."

"What about Sabo? Do you want to come with me? I will raise you into a strong 'new' navy. ”

Although he already had the answer in his heart, Ji Guoyuan still deliberately asked more, he didn't want Sabo to feel that he was being treated differently, and he didn't want him to feel that he was Ace's additive.

"Thank you, Mr. Jikunichi!"

"I want to stay with Ace, and in the future, the two of us will go to sea together!"

Sabo spoke with a "Naruto" accent and smiled cheerfully at Jikunichi.

"Really?"

"Okay."

Ji Guoyuan nodded slightly and approved the decision of the two children. And Karp couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Sabo and Ace had clearly rejected Jikuni Yuanichi, and a smile appeared on his face.

But before he could be happy, he saw Ji Guoyuan reach out and put it in his loose pocket, and took out a cloth bag from it.

Then, in Karp's stunned gaze, Ji Guoyuan took out two devil fruits from the cloth bag.

"This thing is called a Devil Fruit."

"It's for the two of you."

"When you are an adult and want to go to sea, choose one of them and eat it!"

"This is my coming-of-age ceremony for you!"

When Ji Guoyuan spoke, Karp's eyes stared at the two devil fruits in Ji Guoyuan's hand, and his face was full of consternation.

"Nature's Burning Fruit and Thunder Fruit !!"

After a long time, Karp exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked at Jiguo Yuanyi, and said secretly in his heart:

"That's a lot of money! This kid, are you so optimistic about these two children? ”

Ji Guoyuan didn't have that many arms to press on the new era, but he had something else.

For the development of the new Navy, it is not enough to rely on the "present", but also on the "future".
