"One Piece" ADAMAS

Arya blinked, her still-heated head still unable to function well, and she stared at the ceiling for a long time.

"Arya, you finally woke up!" A soft female voice suddenly sounded.

"Are you Granny?" Arya looked at the gentle black-haired woman in front of her with joy.

"Don't move, the surgical incision hasn't grown yet." Granny quickly pressed Arya down, "We haven't seen each other for a few years, you have grown up a lot."

"You haven't changed at all, you're still so beautiful." Arya smiled and lowered her voice, "How are you and Kuzan developing? Is there any progress?"

"Didn't the Admiral tell you this?" Granny turned around and helped Arya shake the bed.

"The letters he sent me were basically nonsense." Arya rolled her eyes. She was very dissatisfied with Kuzan's perfunctory letter.

"Maybe I have some scruples. In fact, I got married the year before last." Granny stretched out her hand to show Arya the wedding ring. "And I am no longer the aide-de-camp of General Aoki Pheasant."

"Ah, then I won't be able to play with you more often in the future?" Arya looked disappointed. She really wanted Granny to join their family.

"But even if I'm not his adjutant, you can still come and play with me, just like before." Granny touched Arya's head, "However, you probably won't have time to play soon. "

"why?"

"Let's wait until Qingzhi tells you about this. I'm not sure about the specific situation."

"What about others? When I was in East China Sea, he never came to see me once. Now that I'm back in Marineland, he doesn't see me either?" Arya snorted coldly.

Granny quickly explained: "Don't blame him. He has been guarding you for several days without rest. I just persuaded him to go back and take a rest."

"Yeah"

"Of course. Didn't he always guard you like this when you were sick? He is still the same Kuzan as before. Don't worry."

"I don't care about this." Arya immediately buried herself in the quilt after being poked.

Granny covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, if you don't care, don't care. Don't move around and be careful about the knife edge."

Only then did Arya realize that she was wrapped in a bandage, and she said with a confused look on her face: "Don't I have a fever? Why did I need an operation?"

"You almost died. Thanks to Dr. Vegapunk's surgery, you are now alive and kicking."

Arya's memory of Vegapunk was still in drug rehabilitation treatment in her childhood. She vaguely remembered that he was a strange person who always liked to surround her and ask some incomprehensible questions. After not seeing each other for so many years, Arya was still a little curious about what he was like now. Maybe she could get some information about the Spirit Master from him.

Looking at the wedding ring on Granny's hand, Arya's heart for gossip suddenly burned brightly. She pulled Granny and asked her carefully about the details of her love and marriage.

"It's nothing special. I'm just colleagues in the same office. After getting along for a long time, we naturally get together." Granny smiled lightly, but she looked very happy.

Although it was a pity not to be able to become a family with Granny, Arya was really happy for her when she saw how happy Granny was.

The two were chatting happily when suddenly the ward door was pushed open, followed by a burst of cold air.

Arya turned her head and met Kuzan's eyes. Even though Granny had been vaccinated in advance, Arya still felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to treat Kuzan.

Kuzan nodded to Granny, and then Granny stood up and left, leaving them some time alone.

"How do you feel physically?" Kuzan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and showed a soft smile.

"It's okay." Arya lowered her head and clicked her fingernails.

Kuzan sighed and smiled: "Although it is a bit sudden, I now officially inform you to report to the Naval Academy next month."

"What?" Arya was confused by this sudden notification.

Kuzan stared into Arya's eyes and gave the World Government's instructions word for word: "You are going to report to the Naval Academy next month."

After reacting, Arya felt an unknown fire suddenly arise. They hadn't seen each other for so many years, but when they met, they didn't say anything but gave her an order first! ? Recalling that Kuzan rarely wrote letters in the past few years, and never explained why he broke his promise and didn't come to see her, Arya's rebellious mood instantly occupied her entire head, and she blurted out her rejection: "I don't want to go!"

Probably because she was too excited, she accidentally touched the surgical incision, causing Arya to instantly cover her chest and bend down in pain.

Kuzan hurriedly pressed the call bell and stepped forward to check on Arya: "Where does it hurt? Does it hurt the wound or the heart?"

"We haven't seen each other for so long, and you're telling me this?" Arya's eyes were extremely hurt, "Why haven't you come to see me once in the past few years?"

Kuzan's heart instantly softened when he saw Arya like this, but when he thought of the words of Marshal Warring States, Arya's life was now in the hands of the World Government, his attitude became tougher unconsciously: "These things I I will explain it to you later. The most important thing now is that you have to report next month. This is an order from the World Government and cannot be refused. So there are some things I want to tell you in advance..."

"Get out!" Arya was completely angered.

In the end, because Kuzan was worried about Arya's wounds, he had to compromise and leave. Kuzan, who had never been able to do anything about Arya, had to ask Zefa to persuade her. After all, Zefa was now focused on education, and he had trained Arya and was better at dealing with Arya.

I don’t know what Zefa said to Arya. Anyway, Arya finally accepted the order of the World Government and promised to report to school on time.

—

After that bad break up in the hospital, Kuzan saw Arya again when she was about to be discharged.

Kuzan leaned against the door of the ward, silently watching Arya pack her luggage, and hesitated to speak. After a few years, not only Arya didn't know how to treat Kuzan, Kuzan also didn't know how to treat Arya. The children have grown up and have their own ideas, and Kuzan can no longer get along with them in the same way as before.

Arya rolled her eyes: "What else do you want to say? I have already promised to go back to school."

"It's nothing." Kuzan touched his nose, "I just wanted to ask if you want to go home."

Arya sneered: "I thought that was no longer my home."

"No way, that will always be your home."

Arya continued to lower her head and pack her things, and then she spoke again after a while: "The Naval Academy has student dormitories, right? Shouldn't you live directly in the dormitory when you enter the school?"

"You can go to school in the early stage. With your current physical condition, it's better to go home and live." Kuzan worried.

"No need, I can just live in the dormitory." Arya was obviously still angry, and her rebellious spirit unconsciously came out again.

Kuzan frowned: "Arya, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. Since I have decided to go, it would be better to adapt as soon as possible."

"Arya..."

"If you bother me again, I won't go." Arya will kill with one strike.

Ku Zan sighed, now that it was all said and done, he had no choice but to let her go.

But Kuzan was still worried about Arya's health, so after leaving the hospital, he started arranging for people to clean up the dormitory.

Granny saw that Kuzan had been frowning for several days in a row, and she probably guessed that it was because he was not getting along well with Arya. After all, Kuzan had basically never gotten along with an adolescent girl in his life. So Granny, who was worried about the father and daughter, decided to become a lobbyist and persuade them both.

"I heard that you and Kuzan had a big fight?" Granny carefully tested while helping Arya pack her things.

"No……"

"Actually, I know everything."

"Are you going to say that I'm ignorant?" The corners of Arya's mouth drooped.

"No, actually I think Kuzan is going too far. He can solve the problem by explaining it to you, but he has to be so tough and doesn't understand what you really care about." Granny reached out and touched it. Arya.

"He still hasn't explained to me clearly why he hasn't come to see me for so many years."

"Actually, he didn't tell you because he didn't want you to feel sad." Granny lowered her voice, "You have a twin brother, right?"

Arya nodded. Although no one else could know about this, Granny was a very close family member to Arya.

"Kuzan is already an admiral. His every word and deed is under the strict supervision of the world government. If he comes to find you, the world government will definitely know about your brother's existence. In this way, you will not be able to live safely. grown up."

"Is that right?"

"Yes, although Kuzan seems to be alienated from you, in fact he has always cared about you. He goes to Lieutenant General Garp every month to inquire about you." Granny counted Kuzan's details. It's been a hard few years, "and he's still investigating the matter of abducting you."

"He never told me this..." Arya was a little moved.

"He just doesn't know how to communicate with you. Kuzan is the gentlest person I have ever met, and he has always been the gentlest to you." Granny smiled, "You are so angry that you don't want to go home. When you go to live in the dormitory, he will help you take care of everything in the dormitory. He really doesn't worry about you."

"Hmm..." Arya nodded hesitantly.

"That's all I've said, you can think about it again." Granny patted Arya on the shoulder, "Kuzan will come to pick you up later, and you can have a good chat."

Not long after Granny left, Kuzan hurried over.

"I'm sorry I'm late. That guy Akainu suddenly asked me to submit some additional materials." Kuzan rubbed his fluffy curly hair and said slightly apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, let's go." Arya smiled.

Kuzan was surprised by Arya's change in attitude towards him and was stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?"

"Go home." Arya stepped forward and took Kuzan's arm. "You help me carry my luggage."

"you……"

Arya interrupted Kuzan, who wanted to ask more questions, and dragged him out of the hospital quickly: "Okay, let's go, let's go, before I change my mind."

"Slow down..." Kuzan shook his head helplessly. He still couldn't understand adolescent girls.

—

"Do you want to be late on the first day of school?" Kuzan looked at Arya who was still eating breakfast slowly and finally couldn't help but speak.

"I've calculated the distance from home to school. If I sprint with all my strength, ten minutes is enough." Arya glanced at the clock leisurely. There were still twenty minutes left before class started.

"But today is the first day of school. There is an entrance ceremony for new students, so you need to arrive at school twenty minutes early." Kuzan raised his eyebrows.

"What!? Is there such a thing?" Arya's eyes widened.

"Didn't you read the freshman handbook I gave you?" Kuzan started to feel leisurely instead, taking a sip of his iced coffee.

Arya immediately picked up her schoolbag and rushed out of the house. She turned around halfway and said, "Didn't I say that the general was giving a speech? Aren't you going?"

"Senior Salino should go there." Kuzan shrugged.

Arya made a gesture of contempt in her heart, and then sprinted towards the school at a speed of 100 meters.

In the end, Arya was late as expected. She originally wanted to sneak into the auditorium through the back door, but the general Kizaru who was giving a speech on the stage saw her at a glance.

"I hope all freshmen will abide by school disciplines in the future, especially don't be late." Kizaru raised the corner of his mouth maliciously, "Our teacher Zefa is very strict. That student who slipped in through the back door, you should be very careful." Is that clear?"

"Eh?" Arya, who had just sat down and was still congratulating herself that she had not been discovered, suddenly caught the attention of everyone.

"Arya, come to my office in a moment." Zefa said through gritted teeth, and Kizaru smiled even more happily.

Oh, it's over. Does that guy Kizaru have such good eyes? Arya sat on pins and needles with all the eyes on her.

In order to allow freshmen to quickly adapt to campus life, there will generally be no classes on the first day of school. Instead, students will be arranged to participate in various activities. But because Arya was caught late in the morning, her freshman activity was a day trip to the instructor's office.

Arya looked at the sky at 45 degrees. The weather was so beautiful, the sky was so blue, the white clouds were so soft, and she felt very heavy. She searched for a long time according to the map in the freshman handbook, but still couldn't find Zefa's office.

Oh my God, if she was late again, Zefa would probably punish her by running 100 laps.

"Boss! I finally found you!" A honest voice came from behind Arya.

Boss? Arya turned around and looked over. A tall boy and a boy with fine features were running towards her.

"Who are you?" Arya looked them up and down.

"Boss, don't you remember us? I am Amon." The tall young man gave Arya a big hug.

"Amon! You have grown so tall!?" Arya's eyes widened and she turned to the other boy, "Could it be that you are Loyal?"

"Yes, boss, long time no see, we miss you." Loyal smiled and rolled his eyes.

"You also entered the naval school? Do you plan to become a navy in the future?"

"My family sent me here, saying that I have a better future in the navy, and the food in the school cafeteria is delicious. You will definitely like it, boss. Let's go have lunch together later." Amon almost shed tears as he spoke. Drooling.

"Aren't you new students?"

"We are already in the third grade and will graduate next year, so boss, you are now our elementary school girl." Loyal took advantage of his height and patted Arya on the head, "Boss, you don't seem to have done anything. You’re growing taller, are you malnourished?”

"Don't make me hit you!" Arya slapped Loyal's hand away viciously.

Loyal quickly stopped and clicked: "What are you doing here? Let's take you to visit the school."

"I don't have time. I was looking for Zefa's office and couldn't find it for a long time. Is there any bug in the map in the freshman handbook?"

"Let me see...Boss, are you stupid? You took the map backwards." Yamon said with a tongue-tied tongue.

"Why did you go to see Mr. Zefa... Could it be that you are the super freshman they said? The one who dared to be late on the first day of school under the noses of Mr. Zefa and the general!?" Loyal covered his hands in shock. Mouth.

"Wow, as expected of you, you actually dare to do this in front of Teacher Zefa. Boss, you are too strong." Amon's eyes were filled with admiration, "A real warrior is someone like you, who dares to challenge the powerful My opponent, I want to learn from you!"

"Study is nothing, take me to the office quickly, otherwise your boss will really die." Arya punched him directly.

—

Arya knocked on the door of Zefa's office with a look as if she was ready to die.

"Come in." Zefa's angry voice always had an inexplicable sense of intimidation.

Arya opened the door and realized that Kizaru was here too, and quickly and reluctantly saluted.

"Arya, long time no see. She has grown into a big girl." Kizaru smiled.

Speaking of Kizaru, Arya actually didn't have a deep impression of him. She only heard from Granny that Kizaru hugged her several times when she was still a baby. Before she left Marinefando, Kizaru had been in the G2 branch, and the two met several times when Kizaru was reporting on his work.

"Huh, I haven't grown up at all. I'm still like a naughty kid. I dare to be late on the first day of school." Zefa snorted coldly.

"It's all Kuzan's fault, he didn't remind me in time," Arya said subconsciously.

"Still quibbling!" Zefa punched the desk with his left fist.

Arya was too frightened to say anything. She only dared to sneak a glance at Zefa's arms. Only one of her originally sound hands was left. Zefa's skills are far less than before. If it were him before, the desk would be gone now. It is said that he encountered pirates when he took the interns out to sea a few years ago. Almost all the interns were wiped out and his right hand was seriously injured.

What kind of pirate is it that can make Zefa injured like this? This strength should be quite terrifying, right?

"Well, young people just want to be naughty, and they will be fine in the future." Kizaru held the tea cup and smiled, but this smile inexplicably sent shivers down Arya's spine.

"As you can see, with her condition, she probably won't be able to complete the mission given by the Warring States Period."

"What mission?" Arya thought she was just here to be trained.

Kizaru put down his tea cup and said a little more seriously: "Marshal Warring States has given you a special task, which is to graduate from the Naval Academy within one year."

"What!?" Arya felt like she was struck by lightning.

Logically speaking, it takes three years to graduate from the Naval Academy. The Warring States Period required her to compress three years of study into one year, which was simply too difficult.

"Don't worry, in order to help you complete your mission, our teacher Zefa will accompany you for extra practice every day." Kizaru looked nostalgic, "Teacher Zefa's extra practice is rare, so cherish it~"

As soon as these words came out, Arya directly felt that the end was coming. She had witnessed Zefa's devilish training a long time ago, and that was the amount of training he had done to her when she was young.

"What? Are you dissatisfied with anything?" Zefa's left hand clenched tightly again, as if if Arya dared to say yes, he would punch her to death in the next second.

"No, absolutely not, thank you very much." Arya was very knowledgeable about current affairs.

"Don't do this. You should hurry up and get familiar with the school, so as not to be late for the physical examination tomorrow." Zefa waved his hand and told Arya to leave quickly.

Arya originally thought this was the biggest difficulty she had ever encountered, but on the day of the physical examination, she suffered the biggest blow in her life.

When Arya looked at the freshmen who were as tall as monsters walking past her, she just wanted to stay away from the height measurement area immediately, especially when she heard some freshmen say: "Does the navy even recruit child labor now? Or are they the dwarves?"

The fact that she didn't hit her directly proved that Arya had grown up. After all, her temper was sharpened by Luffy and Ace.

But when Kuzan saw Arya's physical examination form, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's a little higher than I thought. It's actually 159. I thought you only had 150 when you died."

Arya punched them directly, but she didn't grow much. After all, Luffy and Ace were too annoying to fight without fighting.
