"One Piece" ADAMAS

The Naval Academy selects several outstanding graduates every year, and then selects a chief among them to deliver a speech on behalf of all graduates. Moreover, the chief graduates can also go to the Navy's material library and choose a devil fruit themselves.

Although outstanding graduates are selected based on performance, the chief graduate is selected by the dean, marshal, and general. For this reason, graduates are scrambling to grab spots to gain a sense of presence.

Selecting the chief graduate of the class of 1518 gives Zefa a headache. Logically speaking, the chief of this class is undoubtedly Arya. Looking at the entire naval academy, no one can compare with her. Even Sengoku, who had always disliked Arya, had no objection to this, but Kuzan voted against it, which Zefa did not expect.

The reason for Kuzan's objection is simple. Arya's physical test scores were too poor, just a little higher than the last one.

"Nonsense!" Zefa slammed the table angrily, "This flaw cannot overshadow her excellent overall strength."

Sengoku pushed up his glasses: "You just don't want Arya to become an admiral, right?"

"With her current personality, she is not suitable to be a captain who controls the life of the entire ship. She should start as a low-level recruit." Kuzan looked serious.

"Are you kidding!? With such a strong naval force, you actually want her to work as a soldier? I won't allow you to waste talents like this!" Warring States was directly angry.

"If you want to train Arya, we can send her to guard the branch, but the chief graduate must be her." Zefa suggested.

Kuzan sighed: "Let her come under my control, and I will teach her myself."

"Hey! There must be a limit to how the calf protector can go through the back door! Are you saying all that just to keep people by your side!?" Warring States' anger became even more intense.

Kuzan smiled noncommittally.

"Don't even think about it. I don't know you yet? When the time comes for you and me to skip work and go for a bike ride on the sea, will anyone in the Navy be doing anything anymore!?"

"And Sakaski, he likes to work overtime the most." Kuzan pointed at Akainu, who had been silent.

Akainu raised his fist, which was already bursting with lava.

"Well~ let her come to my place, I happen to be short of an assistant." Kizaru said slowly.

Akainu, who actually really needed an assistant, glared at Kizaru.

"I'm so busy that I need to hand over the documents to Sakaski for help. The Science Corps has a lot of chores, so it's perfect for training newbies~" Kizaru glanced at Akainu with a smile, knowing that the other party would not be embarrassed to talk to him. He robs people.

"That's it!" Zefa made the final decision, his eyes were stern and could not be rejected.

—

Zephyr managed to keep Arya's chief qualification, but Arya chose the Silence Fruit, which almost pissed Zephyr to death.

"Why did you choose this useless fruit!?"

"Improve your sleep quality." Arya said matter-of-factly.

Zefa felt like he was going to have a heart attack.

"As expected of you." Kizaru's tone couldn't tell whether he was mocking or sincerely complimenting him.

"You guys really don't hurt when you stand and talk. I passively receive all kinds of sounds every night. It's so noisy that I can't sleep. The Silence Fruit is a dream for me." Arya explained very seriously.

Zephyr was blocked and couldn't reply. Although he felt it was a pity, he couldn't force Arya to eat other fruits, so he had to wave his hand and let her get the Silence Fruit herself.

"Boss, have you chosen the fruit?" Loyal and Amon were already waiting at the door of the warehouse.

"I've thought about it a long time ago." Arya raised her eyebrows and looked at the warehouse guard with a stern look: "Give me the Fruit of Silence."

The warehouse guard was stunned, thinking he heard wrongly.

Yamon laughed out loud: "Boss, you are really the first person to be unexpected."

Loyal pulled at Arya helplessly: "You really don't think about it anymore? Do you want a fruit with stronger attack power?"

Arya nodded seriously: "I want the Silence Fruit."

After hearing this, the guard touched the back of his head and muttered to the navy next to him: "Is there anything special about this fruit?"

The navy on the side was also confused: "I don't know, but I remember that the last person with the Silence Fruit ability was named Rosinandi. He was very close to the Marshal of the Warring States Period, and the Marshal retrieved this fruit himself. Maybe it's true. There must be something particularly powerful about it.”

"Rosinandi?" Arya's attention was attracted. She always felt that the name sounded familiar, but she really couldn't remember where she had heard it.

Rosinandi, Rosinandi Rosinandi? Arya kept repeating the name, and the blank and fuzzy memory in her mind suddenly became a little clearer.

"What do you know? You're like this yourself and you still pity me?"

“The merciful light of salvation has not fallen upon us.”

"I just want to take revenge on the world before I die. I don't want Frevans to be covered up and forgotten like that."

The boy with the blurred face in the spotted hat kept pouring out the sadness in his heart, and she seemed to comfort him a few words. In the end, she didn't know why she still felt like the prank had succeeded, but she couldn't remember exactly what she had done.

"What's your name? I never knew it."

"My name is Rocinante."

She was almost able to remember more. Arya frowned and tried to explore that blank memory. Suddenly, there was another stab of pain in her head: "Ah!"

"What's wrong? Do you still have a headache?" Loyal hurriedly supported her.

Arya covered her head and nodded.

Seeing that Arya was really uncomfortable, Loyal's tone was a little anxious: "Who told you to use the word spirit so randomly before! Does it hurt too much? Do you want to go to the infirmary?"

After a brief moment of pain, Arya recovered and waved her hand: "I just suddenly remembered something, it's okay."

"Boss, what did you remember?" Yamon also came over.

"A boy, I think his name is Rocinante."

"The last person with the Silence Fruit ability?" Amon also heard the navy's words.

"do not know."

"Why don't you ask General Qing Pheasant?" Loyal suggested.

"talk later."

The caretaker came out with a small transparent box. The thread-shaped fruit inside looked unappetizing. Arya took the fruit in her hand, lifting it up and putting it down again, unable to eat it.

"Just take one bite, don't hesitate and hurry up." Loyal patted Arya hard on the back.

This slap made Arya swallow the whole fruit in one gulp, almost choking her to death. The taste of the fruit is very worthy of its appearance. It is fishy, ​​bitter, and so unpalatable that people will never forget it. Arya covered her mouth and endured it again and again. When she couldn't hold it anymore, she ran to the toilet and vomited. She still had stomach cramps until she got home.

"Is it really so unpalatable?" Loyal was shocked.

"Stop talking, I don't want to remember that taste again!" Arya rubbed her throbbing stomach.

"Why do you have to have the Silence Fruit?" Loyal quickly changed the subject.

"Because the only nemesis of the Spirit Master is this fruit."

"That's it." Loyal breathed a sigh of relief as he suddenly understood.

"Hey, hey, you don't really think I'm just trying to improve the quality of sleep, do you?" Arya rolled her eyes.

"As expected of the boss, it was indeed a decision made after careful consideration." Amon admired him as always.

—

"What are you doing?" As soon as Kuzan entered the door, he saw Arya jumping up and down while packing her luggage.

"I'm going on a graduation trip with my classmates. They plan to go to the island next door to soak in the hot springs." Arya looked longingly. This was her first time traveling with her friends.

"Soak in the hot spring..." Kuzan was a little worried, "You are now a Devil Fruit user. You must pay special attention to safety and don't go to the pool alone."

"How could I be so stupid? You worry too much." Arya said disapprovingly.

In the end, Kuzan’s words came true.

The hot spring was just right. Arya closed her eyes and leaned against the edge of the pool. She felt a little sleepy after her body completely relaxed. In her blur of consciousness, she seemed to see the boy again, and the needle-like pain exploded in her head again. She wanted to get up quickly, but her limbs could not use any strength at all, and she sank to the bottom of the pool.

No way, no way, she, a rising star in the navy, was going to die in a drowning accident, and she drowned in a hot spring pool that was only one meter deep! If this spreads out, her reputation will be ruined. It feels like she can hear Ace's voice laughing at her underground!

Suddenly a hand suddenly appeared in front of Arya's eyes and pulled her out of the hot spring pool with a crash. The cold air poured into her lungs and she coughed violently.

"As a person with abilities, you can still fall asleep in a hot spring pool? I really don't know whether to call you big-hearted or stupid." A girl with short orange-red hair was looking at Arya condescendingly, her eyes full of disgust.

"Thanks, my name is Arya. What's yours?" Arya rubbed her eyes and found burn scars on the back of the girl's hands.

"Are all geniuses as arrogant as you? At least we trained together on a desert island." The girl calmly increased her grip on Arya, "I am Iska, the fifth-ranked graduate. I will definitely surpass you in the future, please remember this."

"" Arya silently endured the pain in her hand. After all, she was the one who was wrong in the first place. However, she didn't forget the names of her classmates on purpose. She could only blame the two old guys, Zefa and Kizaru, for giving her extra training every day. She didn't have time to get to know the classmates she trained with, which seriously affected her Social activities.

"You don't believe that I can surpass you?" Iska obviously misunderstood Arya's silence.

"Of course not, I'm just reflecting on myself!" Arya hurriedly explained, but accidentally touched Iska's bath towel. The bath towel originally wrapped around her body became loose with Arya's movements, and then exposed The waves were rough.

"Ah!" Iska screamed and grabbed the towel.

Probably because she had been in the hot spring for too long, Arya felt that her heart was beating extremely fast and she couldn't breathe. Then her brain was too hot to turn around, so she said, "It's so big."

Iska wanted to strangle her on the spot: "Arya! You! Your nose"

Arya touched her nose, and the hot blood fell into the pool. Then the next second she lost her balance and fell back into the pool.

"Hey!"

It's over, it's really going to die, the society is dead. These were Arya's last thoughts before she passed out.

The cool touch of ice and the cool breeze brought Arya back to consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she saw Amon holding ice cubes and a fan to cool her down. Loyal and Iska were talking to the medical staff. .

"Wake up! The boss is awake!" Amon shouted happily.

Iska pulled away Amon and Loyal who were surrounding him, approached Arya, and poked her forehead: "Are you an idiot? You have a heart problem and you stayed in the hot spring for so long! Do you want to die?"

Arya's head was still groggy and she didn't realize what Iska was saying at all. She only stared at the mouth of Iska's bathrobe with her eyes.

"Arya!" After realizing where Arya's eyes were, Iska grabbed Arya's neck.

"I'm sorry! I really didn't mean anything else! I was just coughing."

Seeing that Arya was about to be choked and fainted again, Loyal and Amon quickly stopped Iska's actions.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, Iska finally calmed down.

"I just think you have a really good figure, nothing else." Arya muttered softly.

"Shut up!" Iska's face instantly turned red to the roots of his ears.

The medical staff checked Arya again, made sure she was fine, then closed the door and left. After experiencing this farce, Arya and Iska actually became so familiar with each other. In the next few days of the journey, the two girls were inseparable.

But thanks to Amon's unremitting efforts, Arya has one more legendary deed - she was so excited when she saw a beautiful woman in a hot spring that she almost died.

—

After Arya hesitated for a long time, she finally asked: "Kuzan, do you know Rosinandi?"

"Huh? Naval Commander Zorro Nandi?" Kuzan moved his eyes from the book to Arya's face.

"That should be it. He is the one who is very close to the Warring States Marshal."

"I know him, but not very well. Why are you asking him?"

"I feel like I saw him when I was a kid, when he was abducted."

"What did you remember?" Kuzan's expression became serious.

"Some sporadic conversations and Rosinandi's name, but I really can't remember the rest."

"He is the last person with Silence Fruit ability. You should know what this means, right?"

Arya nodded. She was now a Silence Fruit user, which meant that Rosinandi had passed away.

"I only know that he died while participating in a secret mission. The specific circumstances are unclear." Kuzan answered truthfully, but concealed the fact that Rosinandi had passed on the message to save her.

"Secret mission?"

"Only the Warring States Marshal knows that, but I advise you not to ask him. He treated Rosinandi as his own, so he was very concerned about mentioning Rosinandi's death."

"I still have this bit of vision."

"Do you remember anything else?" Kuzan watched Arya's expression changes carefully.

"No more." Arya shook her head in despair.

"If you think of anything else in the future, you must tell me."

Arya nodded. In fact, she wanted to ask where Freifans was, but her intuition told her that it was better to check it out herself, because it felt like Kuzan didn't want her to recover that memory.

"Tomorrow morning is the physical examination for Navy entry. Don't be late again." Kuzan smiled maliciously.

"Physical examination!?" Arya instantly felt like the sky was falling. What does the physical examination mean? It means she has to have her height measured again! Although she didn't want to admit it, she really didn't feel like she had grown any taller this year.

"Huh? You seem to be resisting the physical examination? I remember that the first item of the physical examination was to measure your height and weight." Kuzan deliberately did not open or lift any pot.

"Shut up! I'm definitely 1.6 meters tall this time!" Arya said angrily.

"Is 1.6 meters tall?" mocked someone who is 2.98 meters tall.

"Please don't compare me to three-meter-tall monsters like you!"

At the physical examination site the next day, among a group of tall monsters, Arya's presence was particularly noticeable. Just like her entrance examination, a group of people were whispering about whether she was a dwarf.

Arya rolled her eyes, raised her hands and snapped her fingers, silencing the group.

After the doctor pushed Arya down on her feet for the third time, Arya's desperate height and weight were finally measured.

"1591cm? Boss, you've only grown 01cm taller? That's too low, hahahaha...ah, it hurts!" Amon's ruthless ridicule angered Arya.

"Keep your voice down!" Arya covered Amon's mouth desperately.

Consolation from Loyal, a tall and warm man who is 01 meters tall: "It's not bad to be centimeters taller at your age.

"Haha, thank you for your comfort. This makes me even more pathetic." Arya was so angry that she almost pinched herself.

Arya was bitter about being caught late for the opening ceremony by Kizaru, so the night before joining the job, she set several alarm clocks to ensure that she would not be late.

Looking at the office building of the Navy Headquarters, Arya sighed: "It's so tall."

Although she had a close relationship with the Navy's top brass, this was her first time walking into this building. Arya walked around with the employment documents, and when she finally climbed up to the top floor, she was late as expected.

"Colonel Arya is indeed a consistent person. He was late for the opening ceremony and the first day of employment~" Kizaru smiled and extended his hand to Arya.

Arya subconsciously took several steps back and even made a defensive posture.

"What are you doing? Do you miss the time when I train you so much? I can continue to practice with you after get off work~" The smile on Kizaru's lips deepened, "Now I just need your employment documents."

Kizaru flipped through Arya's employment documents, and when he finally saw the physical examination report, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Arya rolled her eyes, too angry to speak.

Kizaru turned around and started cutting his nails: "You bribe me with one month's salary, and I will help you change the physical examination report."

"Why don't you just rob the bank?"

Taking the document stamped by Kizaru, Arya turned around and ran to Kuzan's office, reporting that Kizaru threatened her with a bribe.

Kuzan smiled after hearing this: "Senior Polu is really a profiteer. I am different. You only need to give me half a month's salary and I will help you change it."

Let this decaying navy be destroyed as soon as possible.
