Pirate: I am the nephew of Akainu

Chapter 4

Akainu looked at Hughes' solemn appearance, and felt warm in his heart. This is family affection, the warmest emotion in the world.

"it is good."

With a sonorous answer, Akainu believes that Hughes will help him become the admiral of the navy, even if he is only a rear admiral of the navy headquarters now.

The touching atmosphere did not last long, and in order to be able to work hard the next day, Akainu issued an order to evict the guest.

In this regard, Hughes has no objection. He has talked more today than usual in a month, and he does not expect Akainu to stay overnight.

Because of the transformation, the top was ragged by the wings. As a man with eight-pack abs, Hughes didn't mind showing off his perfect figure to attract those lovely female soldiers.

It's a pity that Akainu will not allow Hughes to be so unrestrained and damage the positive image of the navy.

There was no need for Akainu to remind him, Hughes took the initiative to ask Akainu for a top. The size of the clothes was much larger, and the red shirt gave the appearance of a hip-wrapped skirt.

Hughes swung his long sleeves. This image is not as good as being shirtless. At least the former is a hooligan, while the latter is more like a pervert.

At this point, Hughes could only let out a long sigh, hoping that the night could block his vigorous figure.

But sometimes, the more you are afraid of seeing ghosts, the more you will run into them. This is a very metaphysical thing.

Not far from Akainu's residence, Hughes met his former instructor at a corner, Mr. Zefa with the title of black wrist.

Hughes has roughly confirmed the timeline, and there should be three years before Lu Fei goes to sea. He is the last batch of students taught by Zefa in the navy, and there are celebrities such as the smoker Smog and Heikan Rina at the same time.

"Mr. Zefa, your arm."

Hughes looked at Zefa's right arm in surprise. Originally, this arm could only maintain daily life because of its serious injury, and could not engage in fierce battles.

But now, a metal bracket similar to an exoskeleton wraps Zefa's right arm, and one can feel a strong sense of oppression just by looking at it.

When Zefa saw Hughes, he was very impressed with Hughes, not only because of Hughes' identity as Akainu's nephew, but also because of Hughes' efforts in daily training.

From zero foundation to excellent graduation, among the many students taught by Zefa, not many can do this step.

"It's Hughes, congratulations on becoming a major general of the headquarters." Zefa said with a smile: "This arm is a weapon made for me by the Science Experiment Department, which can restore my previous combat strength."

"Your clothes...somewhat ill-fitting."

Zefa looked up and down Hughes, and because of the darkness, he discovered Hughes' strange attire.

Thinking of the recent rise of fan culture within the navy, Zefa has some bad associations.

"When I was your age, I also admired those naval heroes, but there must be a limit to everything, you"

So far, Zefa has been dealing with Akainu for a long time, so he can naturally recognize the origin of this red shirt. Thinking of the relationship between Hughes and Akainu, the uncle and nephew are a bit complicated.

Seeing Zefa's strange eyes and vague words, Hughes roughly guessed what was going on, and hurriedly told Zefa the whole story.

Except for the part where Akainu was going to be the admiral of the navy, Hughes didn't hide anything, and told Zefa truthfully about his taking the devil fruit, hoping that he could give him some guidance.

Hearing Hughes' logical and rigorous explanation, Zefa believed that Hughes was not sophistry, and felt a little regretful that the news was aborted.

"Animal is a phantom beast, it is a rare fruit." Zefa said with emotion: "I have not taken devil fruit, and I don't know much about fruit development, but since phantom beast belongs to the animal department, the development direction should also be biased towards The combination of physical skills and fruit."

This is similar to what Hughes thought. In the follow-up development, he also intends to combine the fruit ability with the Navy Six Types like CP9.

For devil fruit capable users, the fruit only provides a starting point that is much higher than ordinary people. To become a top powerhouse, one must improve one's physical fitness.

Hughes nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance. After you recover your combat power, you should take up other positions."

Hughes doesn't remember many side details of the plot of Pirate World very clearly, but he vaguely remembers what Zefa did in the next few years, and he didn't work as an instructor at the Navy Headquarters.

Besides, making such an arm should cost a lot of money. You must know that the navy's finances have always been tight, and the Warring States Period never made a loss-making business.

Zefa did not hide anything, and generously admitted: "Yes, the newly established pirate guerrilla team will be led by me personally. Do you want to be a deputy?"

It was a temporary idea. If he hadn't met Hughes tonight and knew that Hughes was a Phantom Beast ability user, Zefa would not have such an idea.

Since the shipwreck five years ago, Zefa has always had an indelible shadow in his heart. He is worried that such a thing will happen again. In the past five years, he has never taken a new navy recruit as an apprentice.

If it weren't for the promise of the Science Experiment Department, and the fact that his own strength has improved, Zefa would not be the leader of the Pirate Guerrilla.

Even so, being able to add a strong combat power can greatly increase the chance of survival.

Regarding Zefa's invitation, Hughes declined: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zefa, the Warring States Marshal has issued an appointment, and I am about to form my own fleet."

If there is no commitment to Akainu, Hughes would not mind going to the naval guerrillas that Zefa said. Zefa is a trustworthy chief officer, which is very important to his subordinates.

Although every navy swears to the Seagull Flag that they are willing to abandon their ego to uphold justice, but when it comes to critical moments, no one is willing to be strategically abandoned by the chief officer.

What's more, with Zefa, Hughes can also suppress some of his dangerous thoughts, allowing the old man to die.

Zefa didn't force it: "That's it, that's a pity."

At this step of the words, Hughes should also say goodbye, and each side of the road faces the sky.

But when the farewell words came to his lips, Hughes said in a strange way: "Mr. Zefa, are you sure this mechanical arm can restore your combat power?"

Facing the soaring strength, Hughes really wanted to know where the limit is at this stage, and he needed a suitable training partner.

Hughes looked up at Zefa, and the innocent face seemed to be engraved with three words "I don't believe it".

Zefa froze for a moment, looked down at Hughes, and didn't speak, but the expression also said three words "try it".

Coincidentally, Zefa also wants to try the function of the mechanical right arm. I heard that the Eudemons are particularly resistant to fighting, so there should be no problem.

It can be said that they hit it off, and Hughes and Zefa nodded in tacit understanding.

Zefa said: "The third training base, your previous training base, has not yet arranged for recruits to stay."

Hughes understood in seconds, and immediately said: "I'm still waiting for the construction period, and I have no tasks tomorrow."

Zefa smiled and said, "Coincidentally, me too."

The two smiled and walked side by side to the third training base on the west side of the island.
