Pirates' Magnetic General

Geller and Smoker spent the day shopping and bought a lot of snacks. In the evening, they walked to the training ground, where a banquet was being held.

"Geller, Smoker, you are finally back, it's just you." Berrygood hurried over when he saw Geller was back.

"What's the matter, Berrygoode?"

"Virgo has gathered all the new recruits who have not returned home, and is holding a banquet on the training ground. Old Luo Xiu is also here, waiting for you two."

"Really, let's go there quickly."

Although Vergo is a little man, his ability to do things is really good. No wonder he was later given an important position by the headquarters.

The g5 branch is a naval branch located along the Grand Line and one of the few branches located in the New World. This also explains the importance of Virgo in the navy in later generations.

"Teacher, we are back. We have brought you a lot of good wine. We also visited some seniors. Let me say hello to you when I see Adjutant Bogart."

"That boy Bogart is also a genius in swordsmanship, but it's a pity that his path is far different from mine."

Previously, Bogart was the most promising to inherit Luo Xiu's swordsmanship, but most of Luo Xiu's swordsmanship strength lies in his fruit ability, while Bogart's path lies in his understanding of the sword.

"Instructor, what did you do before you became an instructor?" The students were very curious about this old instructor and wanted to know some stories about the sea to relieve their boredom.

Old Luo Xiu thought for a while, took a sip of the good wine Geller brought, and finally decided to tell the children about the risks of the sea.

"Actually, before I became an instructor, I was also a naval admiral, hahahaha."

"Ah, lie, instructor."

"Instructor, you clearly don't have the aura of Lieutenant General Garp."

"Instructor, as long as you have a peanut, you won't be so drunk."

Boom, boom, boom. The three of them were kicked out directly by Old Luo Xiu.

"The instructor is right. He is indeed one of the three great generals of the previous generation. I found some of the instructor's deeds in the library." This was also Virgo's unexpected gain while browsing the information.

"Haha, tell me about it, Virgo, and I'll also listen to what those books say about me."

"That's offending, instructor."

"Luo Xiu, who was fifteen years old and still in his prime, experienced a catastrophe that was almost catastrophic. A group of powerful pirates attacked his village. There were hundreds of people in the village except him. , all dead”

"In order to avenge the people in the village, Luo Xiu left his hometown, traveled thousands of miles, and became a disciple of Tianyun Sword Master. After practicing swordsmanship for ten years, he went to sea to kill all the pirates who attacked the village, and he became a pirate from then on. hunter."

"Once Cyborg Sora was ordered to go on an expedition against the Black Moon Pirates. When he arrived at the headquarters, he saw Black Moon, the captain of the Black Moon Pirates, being hacked to death by Luo Xiu, and invited Luo Xiu to join the navy."

"When Luo Xiu was forty years old, he was promoted to admiral of the navy and given the title of "Rebuke"."

"Retired at the age of fifty and became the chief instructor of the Navy's elite department. In the name of his outstanding teaching ability, he is known as the Godfather of the Navy."

Vergo tried hard to recall the information about Luo Xiu he saw at that time.

"Is this all you wrote? It is very consistent with my experience."

"It's amazing. He looks like a bad old man, but he turns out to be a general."

"Are you dissatisfied with my appearance? Smoker."

"No, no, instructor, why did you retire at the age of fifty?"

"Haha, reasonable retirement according to the Navy Personnel Labor Law."

Old Luo Xiu opened a bag of potato chips brought by Geller and slowly told the reason for his retirement.

"Actually, my right arm is useless, just for show." Luo Xiu took off the clothes on his arm, and there was no blood on his arm.

"Twenty years ago, I encountered the powerful Ghost Sword Pirates and fought with their captain. He had a strange devil fruit. When he was about to die, he cursed my right hand and disabled half of my sword training. for."

"So, in this sea, you should never underestimate your opponents. Even if they are as strong as a general like me, they will be in danger of dying at any time. Remember this."

"Not many of my former students are still alive, alas."

The navy's mortality rate is still very high, otherwise it wouldn't be recruiting new recruits from all over the world every year.

"You brats, listen, I can still teach you for two months, and then I will train you more severely to change your naughty personality."

"It's the instructor."

"Start training"

"It's Chinese New Year, instructor, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Wait a minute, line up, and run a hundred laps first. Whoever comes last, I will make it impossible for him to finish the year."

After the training, Smoker came to Luo Xiu's room alone.

"Instructor, I want to follow Geller's footsteps, please teach me."

"What is the reason why you want to become stronger? Only if you know this, I will teach you."

"A truly strong person must first have a strong heart. You must learn to defeat yourself, your own inertia, greed and fear. A person who cannot defeat himself, no matter how strong he is, will ultimately be just a slave to power. Ultimately driven to destruction by power, understand Smoker."

"I used to be too weak and didn't know anything, but I always thought I was the most powerful and relied on the power of the Devil Fruit to dominate."

"Today Geller took me to visit my seniors. I saw Lieutenant General Garp leveling the mountain and Adjutant Bogart cutting the sea. Only then did I understand my own weakness."

"Unconsciously, the gap between me and Geller is getting bigger and bigger. I want to catch up with him or even surpass him."

"Okay, go back, Smoker. I have nothing more to teach you. Just practice hard."

"Actually, what can make you strong is neither my teachings nor devil fruits, but your own heart, which is most easily ignored by you."

"My heart, thank you instructor"

On this day, Smoker's life changed.
