There is still a debate about whether those who rely on the power of Devil Fruits are really powerful.

Navy Recruit Instructor [Black Wrist] Zefa is obviously from the faction of "don't rely too much on Devil Fruit abilities".

However, the three new admirals: Red Inu, Yellow Ape, and Green Pheasant, although they are all students of Zefa, they are all Devil Fruit Ability Masters of the Nature Department.

The strength of the three of them is undoubted, so even if Zefa is a little worried about this, he is helpless after all.

However, he still hopes that his students can have more "power of their own" in case of emergency.

……

"Although it's just an ethereal rumor, the old man is still a little worried after all......"

Zefa sighed heavily.

"Either way, Devil Fruits are of unknown origin, and you have to be careful when using 'external forces'."

“……”

Ethereal rumors?

Lindsay heard something interesting.

But the deeper information obviously belongs to the secret of the navy, and Zefa will not reveal it if he asks further.

However, there is another more important point -

Regarding Zefa's "educational philosophy", Lindsay does not fully agree.

……

"It's too rigid!"

Lindsay leaned down and picked up the wounded Navy recruits and took them to a corner to settle in.

He patted the wounded recruit on the shoulder and proposed: "When facing a siege, it is not necessary to unite together, after all, the other party is not a master of teamwork, it is better to disperse and break through." ”

"That's true."

Zefa agreed with Lindsay's words, but changed his tone and retorted: "However, you must maintain a certain contact with your teammates to prevent unexpected situations, and you must not go your own way." ”

Navy Recruits: "......"

He felt that both sides had made sense, so he could only nod his head again and again.

……

Boom la la la......

At the same time, outside the steel workshop, there was the sound of rustling footsteps.

The comers are not good.

But at this time, Zefa and Lindsey were still arguing about the focus of the training of the capable.

Lin Track: "Fruit ability is also potential. ”

Zefa shook his head, "But it's not the first thing after all. ”

“……”

"Hey, you've found someone!"

The voice of unkindness came.

It turned out to be another group of thugs, who noticed the sound of a fight here, so they tracked it all the way and met the people who had just finished fighting.

Seeing that several navy officers were seriously injured and only two were still standing, the leader couldn't help but get excited.

"Damn, where the hell did so many navies come from? Look at Lao Tzu killing you all! ”

“……”

Zefa tilted his head.

Lindsay spread her hands.

Zefa proposed: "Discussion continues? ”

Lindsay twisted her arm and said, "Okay." ”

……

"Kill!"

A thug rushed over.

Lindsay lunged forward, grabbed the thug by the collar, and then flung it cleanly into the wall next to her.

At the same time, he also commented: "The upper limit of ability depends on one's own imagination, which coincides with tactical thinking. ”

“……”

"Bastard!"

Another thug rushed forward and slashed at Zefa with a knife.

Zefa flashed sideways, and the armed domineering aura surged up his arms, aiming at the man's abdomen with two punches.

Bang! Bang!

The man's body suddenly sunk into two pieces, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground.

At the same time, Zefa retorted: "A person's strength and weakness, in addition to tactics, the body itself is more important, and the thinking should not be too jumpy." ”

Lindsay put her arms around the neck of the next thug and wondered, "Why?" ”

"Because one person's 'time' is far from enough."

Zefa held the oncoming blade with one hand and said seriously:

"Even if we work together, human time is always limited, and we don't have enough time to spend on all kinds of imaginative trial and error."

“……”

"But there's always going to be freer."

Lindsay snatched a thug's musket and broke it violently, holding the gunpowder and projectiles in her hand.

Grabbed a random person, shoved something in his hand into his mouth, and slapped him violently.

Rumble!

The gunpowder and projectiles exploded, and the man was suddenly full of smoke and unconscious.

Seeing this, Zefa shook his head helplessly.

"Little brother, we are the navy."

Continuing to deal with the mob, while lamenting: "Our duty is not to enjoy the fight, but to uphold the justice we carry on our backs." ”

"We don't have a chance to be 'wrong'!"

"Once defeated, most of them will be buried at sea or elsewhere, so we can't lose once."

"People who rely too much on ability will one day be targeted, find weaknesses, and die."

“……”

Lindsey punched a thug away, "So ......"

Zefa grabbed the brick and hit the other who was about to sneak attack.

"Therefore, it is not that the old man is against the use of fruit ability, the key is the 'priority' of the focus of exercise."

Lindsey knew.

"Really, does the old man seem to be a very extreme person?"

Zefa Chang exhaled and muttered, "Exercise the foundation first, and if you still have the strength to spare, then develop the fruit ability!" ”

Lindsey kicked away the last thug and was still not fully convinced.

"Isn't it good to develop according to instinct and be integrated?"

“……”

……

On the issue of education, Lindsay and Zefa had a full exchange of views.

Although there are still differences, we can finally understand a little.

The two of them settled the naval recruits in their hands and continued to wander around the Seven Waters City, searching for possible clues.

From time to time, they will take action to deal with some of the thugs that have been missed.

But more often than not, these thugs are dealt with by Navy recruits, and it doesn't take much effort from two people.

……

Seeing another group of thugs being dealt with by Navy recruits, Zefa couldn't help but pat a Navy recruit on the back.

"Good job, stinky little ghost!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

The Navy recruits smiled and nodded, and continued to support other places.

"But ......"

After the navy recruits left, Zefa couldn't help but rub his chin and wondered:

"The thugs in the city are almost finished, why haven't they found anything abnormal?"

“……”

Looking at Mr.0 again, he was looking down in contemplation, but due to the mask, he couldn't see his expression at all.

"Do you notice something?"

"Nope."

Lindsay shook her head and explained, "I was thinking about how my little girls should exercise in the future. ”

"Little girl?"

Zefa was stunned for a moment, and his heart was even more puzzled.

Turning their heads to look at the landmark, they saw that they had come to the vicinity of Dock Five, where Tom's studio was located.

I was just about to propose that the two of them go back to Tom's studio to have a look, but on the other side of the fence, there was a sudden sound of fighting.

The next second-

Rumble!

The fence is broken.

Uta rushed out in turns, sending several thugs flying together.

Robin, along with a group of Tom's studio members, followed her closely behind and broke through.

Seeing this, Tom couldn't help laughing and said:

"Hahaha, what a famous little girl!"

"Hee-hee, I'm super strong!"

Uta smiled heartily, and turned her head to see Lindsay and Zefa not far away.

Lin ...... Mr.0 Sir! ”

Just now, Klockdahl went back to Tom's studio and synchronized the information with everyone, so Uta and they all knew about the Navy and Mr. 0.

She carried a huge note and ran over in a hurry, and Zefa next to her couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long time, Zefa muttered: "This style of play...... Isn't it a bit too liberating? ”

"After all, it's not the navy, so what does it matter!"

Lindsey put her arm around Zefa's shoulders and laughed equally proudly.

He now understands the mood of the "instructor" a little.

……

Several people successfully converged and cleared the surrounding mob.

The riots were coming to an end.

Tom couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahaha, this time it's really troublesome for everyone, I must note your kindness!" ”

“……”

Lindsey and Zefa glanced at each other.

Of course, the trouble is not troublesome, but this bottomless feeling still exists, which makes the two of them unhappy.

At this moment, the residents of the Seven Waters City who had taken refuge in the surrounding area also came out one after another when they saw that the riot was over.

They first expressed their feelings to the navy, and then surrounded Tom.

Due to the plan of the sea train, Tom is no longer the "scary guy who built for [One Piece]", and he is a bit popular.

One woman said urgently, "Mr. Tom, are all these thugs attracted by the 'train engine'?" ”

"Hahaha, maybe?"

The other wiped a cold sweat, "But anyway, it's settled." ”

"Hahaha, that's what you said!"

The child on the side raised his hand and said, "Thanks to Mr. Tom, I brought the navy!" ”

"Hahahaha......"

Tom laughed and paused.

Finally, another old man nodded and sighed:

"In other words, it is safest to let the navy or the world government intervene to protect something as important as a sea train."

Everyone talked about it, and the voices of gossip came.

"Yes, yes, otherwise it will cause a big mess like now!"

"There's no way, who made the current capital of the Seven Waters too depressed, and even the guards can't afford to pay for it?"

"Uncle Navy, you'll protect us until the sea train is finished, right?"

"After all, it's a machine for the benefit of one party......"

“……”

Lindsay and Zefa looked at each other again.

Although they couldn't see each other's eyes, they both understood what they meant.

Seem......

What's not quite right?
