The current situation in the capital of the seven waters is "depression", not "chaos".

Living on scarce orders is a state of getting by, and everyone is having a hard time.

In such a city, there is nothing to be fished for.

In addition, the capital of the seven waters has always cooperated with the navy to a certain extent, and now although it is in a depression, it occasionally receives orders from the navy.

Therefore, no outlaw will come to the "inner city" to cause trouble, which is a small blessing in misfortune.

But today, this little luck was completely broken-

……

The capital of seven waters can be roughly divided into two parts: the "inner city" and the "outer city".

Seven large-scale, numbered docks, located at the intersection of the inner and outer cities, are the origin of the city's name and important landmarks.

Now, although Tom and Cocoro have been rescued, their captors are still nowhere to be found, and even a conflict has broken out with another gang of outlaws.

In order to maintain the comfort of the civilians in the city, Zefa ordered a large number of naval recruits to be scattered throughout the city, working in small groups to conduct investigations and patrols.

Now, the news is back, but the situation is not optimistic.

……

"Teacher, a hostage-taking incident broke out near Dock No. 1!"

Navy Recruit Road:

"It's a gang of pirates who seem to have turned another shipyard into Tom's Studios and held the boss hostage, negotiating with the boatmen!"

……

"There's a disturbance near dock four, and they're looting the shop!"

"They have caused panic among civilians and we are trying to maintain order, but there are not enough people to deal with them."

"Teacher, please ask for support!"

……

"Hello? Teacher, can you hear me? ”

"Boom! Multiply...... Woo la la la ......"

"There is a shelling incident at Dock No. 6, and there are slave traders who are taking advantage of the chaos to capture civilians, we are dealing with it, over!"

……

"This side of the city ......"

“……”

……

The communication rang out one after another, which also made Zefa's face more and more serious.

A huge capital of seven waters, it seems to have become a paradise for lawbreakers, and people from all kinds of origins have sprung up in one go!

"Pirates, slave traders, and petty thieves seem to ......"

"Are they all eyeing the train engine, or do they just want to make a fortune from the chaos?"

“……”

For a moment, Zefa only felt that the whole incident was becoming more and more abnormal, and there seemed to be some ulterior motive hidden in it.

"The old man hates being led by the nose......"

Zefa's gaze scanned his surroundings.

In addition to that Mr. 0, there are two more civilians, Tom and Cocoro, plus a dozen or so navies who have not yet left.

After thinking for a moment, Zefa immediately opened the communication of all employees and said in a deep voice:

"The second and third teams remained, and were responsible for escorting the two civilians back to the vicinity of Dock Five."

"The rest of the people, wait for reinforcements to all parts of the city as soon as possible."

"All staff, according to the battle plan No. 6, suppress the outlaws in the city, and at the same time pay attention to any anomalies!"

“……”

"Yes, Teacher!"

Including communications, a group of naval recruits received orders one after another, and then went into action and battle.

Tom and Cocoro, escorted by several Navy recruits, make their way back to Tom's studio.

Eventually, Zefa set his sights on Mr. 0.

"Is your commission over, adventurer?"

"Not yet."

Lindsey shook her head.

He still had a lot to investigate, so he simply followed the background that Crocodall had fabricated, and continued to write.

"The real culprit has not been caught, and the turmoil has not passed, even if we go back now, we are embarrassed to ask for Tom's studio's payment."

"Haha, that means you're going to act with the old man?"

Zefa stood up and twisted his neck with a crackling sound.

"The old man can feel it, you are a very powerful person!"

"So-"

As soon as the conversation changed, Zefa smiled:

"If my stinky little ghosts are in trouble, please focus on education and don't help them solve the difficulties completely."

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, Lindsay hesitated a little and said slowly: "You are just a new battalion for the navy, right?" ”

Zefa clasped his hands to his chest and nodded, "That's true." ”

"Well, with all due respect."

Lindsay twisted his fingers and said leisurely: "There is an essential difference between 'recruits' and 'soldiers' that there is this huge gully. ”

"At present, the real culprit that caused the riots in the capital of seven waters is unknown, so let the recruits deal with it rashly, aren't you worried that it will cause a bigger accident?"

“……”

"Haha, little brother, you are not a navy after all, so it's normal to think like this."

Zefa took the lead and waved his hand for Mr.0 to follow, while slowly saying:

"Although they are all a group of stinky imps, don't underestimate this group of stinky imps!"

"One day, they will take over the banner from us old fellows and become the mainstay of the new generation of Navy."

"The justice in their hearts is the hope of the future!"

As a recruit instructor in the Navy, Zefa has high hopes for this group of young people.

"Riots, conspiracies, tricks, ......"

"These fragile things can't stop the footsteps of those young people at all!"

“……”

Zefa's words were full of pride and love.

This probably explains why, in the near future, when all the recruits under his command were slaughtered by pirates, Zefa's faith in the navy was shaken......

Lindsey stepped along.

……

Dock No. 7, nearby.

A mob seized a steel mill and took the owner's family hostage.

A five-man naval team successfully infiltrated and successfully rescued the boss's family, but accidentally fell into a siege during the evacuation.

The thugs surrounded the three naval recruits in three layers and three outside the outer floors!

"Bastard, it's not good......"

"Hey, you can't be optimistic?"

"After all, this is also the duty of the Navy!"

"You can't count on anyone else, after all, we are the ones who are 'counted on'......"

“……”

The five of them joked with each other while adjusting their state and getting ready for battle.

And directly above everyone, on the top beam shelf of the steel factory, Lindsay and Zefa were sitting there, their feet dangling in the air, silently observing the battle below.

"It's good."

Lindsay couldn't help but admire.

He had to admit that the navy - especially the navy of the headquarters - especially the navy of the headquarters taught by Zefa, even if it was only a new recruit, still had extremely high combat qualities.

The rioters numbered about two dozen people, several times more than the recruits of the Navy.

But with only five people, they were not defeated in terms of momentum, and even had a great counterattack!

Immediately, the battle began.

The five naval recruits flexibly used the six forms, and they simply interspersed back and forth among the thugs, completely breaking up the dense formation of the other party!

After a while, many of the thugs fell, but two Navy recruits were also drawn up and had to step aside.

"I'll leave it to you behind my back!"

"Okay, let's go!"

“……”

Swish! Swish!

Until the end—

Two more Navy recruits were wounded, and most of the remaining thugs fell to the ground.

All that's left is an exhausted Navy recruit and one of the strongest hunk thugs.

"Let the horses come!"

"Look at Lao Tzu's awesomeness!"

The two fought back and forth for a long time, but they could not tell the winner.

However, judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that the outcome will be that the naval recruits will fight to be seriously injured, but the big thugs will be completely eliminated.

“……”

Seeing this scene, Zefa was a little unbearable, but he also resisted the mood of helping.

He can't be the instructor of this group forever, these recruits will have to be on their own sooner or later, so they must go through the test of blood and pain!

Seeing that his student was about to win, Zefa couldn't help the pride in his heart and looked at Lindsay beside him.

"How?"

“……”

Lindsay thought about it, but finally shook her head and said, "A little less creativity." ”

"Oh?"

Zefa was puzzled.

Then, Lindsay was heard shouting to the navy below: "Hey, there are broken iron filings all over here!" ”

“？！”

As soon as these words came out, the big guys and the navy recruits were stunned.

But before they could react, their bodies had already made a move and launched a final attack towards each other.

Call!

The big man slammed out a hammer, but his face was covered with iron filings and dust.

"Huh?!"

The big man's eyes were fascinated, and when he saw it clearly, there was a crisp sound behind him.

Click!

The sound of a bullet being loaded was heard.

It turned out that just now, the unknown voice alerted the Navy recruits.

The wounded recruit, though no longer able to fight, picked up the fallen musket and threw it behind the big man's back.

The remaining recruits made a feint, but grabbed a handful of iron filings on the ground and threw them at the big man along with his saber.

Immediately, he picked up the musket on the ground and loaded it for aim.

Bang!

The buckshot fired, and the big man fell to the ground.

"Hoo ......"

The navy soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, such a result was much better than expected.

Then again, who was the person who spoke just now?

“……”

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Mr. Zefa and Mr. 0 descending from the sky, and began to discuss the battle just now.

Zefa dissatisfied: "It's good to be proficient in using environmental advantages, but it's important to think about it yourself. ”

Lindsay, however, shrugged his shoulders unconcernedly, and argued, "We are also part of the 'environment'. ”

Zefa disagrees.

"You are a capable person, this is also a common problem of capable people, relying too much on 'ability' and 'ideas', and then ignoring the training of yourself."

Lindsey retorted, "Aren't 'abilities' and 'ideas' part of themselves? ”

Zefa said seriously: "Yes, but that will limit your 'potential' after all." ”

Lindsey was helpless, "Aren't Devil Fruits also part of the potential?" ”

Zefa tilted his head, "Is that kind of thing whose origin is still a mystery really your own power?" ”

“……”

The two of them didn't accept anyone, and finally came to the front of the navy recruit.

Lindsay turned her head and asked first, "Who is more reasonable?" ”

Zefa even clasped his hands to his chest and said in a deep voice: "Come, tell me your opinion!" ”

Navy Recruits: "......"

Navy Recruit: "? ”

Navy Recruit: "Hmm! My body hurts, I'm going to die, I'm going to fall......"

Poof!
