People in One Piece are so good-looking

"..."

Qingzhi silently lowered his head and looked at someone who was looking up.

"Ah, boy."

He raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke softly, "It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on others talking to themselves."

"I've been standing here without moving. Did you climb over the railing yourself and climb over to my side?"

Nuo Xia spread her hands innocently, "I am a young and beautiful young man, so I am not interested in an uncle's self-pity, so I came here to eavesdrop, right?"

You are only twenty-eight years old, are you going to be called uncle?

Qing Zhi was speechless. After a long time, he shook his head helplessly and said:

"I can't talk about self-pity. I just feel that what I have been insisting on suddenly has no meaning..." He paused here, "How should I explain this kind of thing to a kid like you...Young man, you have Don’t you have something to hold on to?”

"Of course there are, and there are a lot of them."

Nuo Xia thought for a while and said seriously: "For example, insist on exercising for twenty hours a day, insist on taking a hot bath after taking a bath, insist on drinking a cup of hot milk every time before going to bed..."

"That's not what I said..." Qingzhi rubbed his eyebrows, suddenly having a headache.

Gion was right. This guy was more polite and courteous to strangers than anyone else. Once he got acquainted with him, he started talking nonsense, making it difficult for people to tell the truth in his words.

Practicing twenty hours a day? How could there be such a person in this world...

"I mean in terms of belief."

Qingzhi reorganized his words, looked at Nuo Xia and said, "For example, justice, young man, this is the word that will be engraved on your cloak after you graduate. What do you think of these two words...?"

What he said was already very explicit.

After all, he was a time traveler. Thinking of Aoki's faint sense of decadence and laziness these days, Nuo Xia calculated the timeline and easily thought of the O'Hara incident nearly half a year ago.

After that incident, Aokiji must have been in pain, right? The "passionate justice" that I originally insisted on gradually faded away, and slowly transformed into "lazy justice".

“Read it after translating it into simplified Chinese.”

After thinking for a while, he curled his lips and said, "There's nothing much to say about this, Lieutenant General. Everyone has different ideas of justice. Just stick to it and implement it."

"But this is exactly the problem, young man..." Qingzhi looked up at the night sky. The night was particularly dark tonight. The crescent moon was like a hook, and only a few sparse stars were dotted in the endless night sky.

"For example, you are that star now."

He pointed at one of them and said quietly to Nuo Xia, "You are obviously trying hard to persevere, but the light emitted is still very little. The surrounding darkness is still the same, so deep that you can't see the bottom. If it were you, this What should we do when the time comes?"

These words were asked to Nuo Xia, and they also seemed to be asking himself.

"Keep going."

Nuo Xia almost did not hesitate and said very matter-of-factly: "As long as there is heat and light, let alone stars, even if it is just a firefly, you can do your best in the dark without waiting for the torch."

Qingzhi was slightly stunned. He looked at the young man for a long time, and then said with a wry smile after a long time:

"...Does that little light mean anything?"

"certainly."

Nuo Xia also pointed to the few sparse stars, "One more thing, you are wrong. Those stars are actually much bigger than the sun. The reason why they are just a little bit in our eyes is just because we are far away from each other." It’s just too far away to see clearly.”

"But... for the planets around them, that beam of light is extremely dazzling, enough to illuminate and warm the entire world."

Is there such a thing?

Qing Pheasant raised his head and squinted at the stars in the distance.

For some reason, he thought of the civilians he had saved and the pirates he had killed over the years, as well as Sauro who died in front of him a few months ago, and Nicole Robin who ran away in tears. …

"Didn't you just ask me what I think about justice?"

Nuo Xia's voice came over again at this time:

"I can do my best to make this dark world a little brighter, even if it is just as dark as a firefly. This is the way of justice that I pursue."

Qing Zhi withdrew his gaze from the night sky and looked at Nuo Xia again.

"But I guess things aren't that pessimistic, right?"

"After all, we in the navy have so many like-minded people. No matter how small the fireflies are, when they are gathered together, they can at least light up a large area."

The young man's eyes met his, and he suddenly burst into laughter, and said in a formal tone:

"Of course, people's dreams must be lofty after all. Who can tell what will happen in the future? What if I, a little firefly, can climb up to the sky and become a star in the future?"

"And then, suddenly, a light that is more dazzling than the sun bursts out, sweeping away all the darkness around it?"

"..."

Qingzhi looked at Nuo Xia in silence for a long time, and suddenly felt that Teacher Zefa's decision to let him preside over this assessment for her half a month ago was absolutely correct.

So after a moment, he suddenly laughed: "What an arrogant brat, young man, your ambition seems to have been exposed."

Nuo Xia blinked and smiled shyly.

"However, it's not that easy to change from a firefly to a sun."

Qing Pheasant raised his head leisurely, looked at the vast Milky Way beyond his reach, and said with a smile:

"Before I count on your little firefly to brighten up the world, I'd better let a little star like me, which is almost reaching the horizon, continue to walk further in and see if I can shine even brighter..."

…………

Two days later, the warship that crossed the entire windless zone finally returned to Marineland.

We didn't encounter any unfavorable weather in the middle, but there was a somewhat funny episode.

A pirate group that had just entered the Grand Route from the East China Sea two months ago was originally preparing to run away after seeing a warship coming from the windless zone in the distance.

But the captain named "Black Wolf" Tejirk, who had a bounty of 13 million beli, had the courage to come from nowhere. He ignored the dissuasion of his discerning subordinates and sternly ordered, "Who do you think I am? Come over!" "Instructions.

Of course, the ending goes without saying much.

No need for big guys like Qing Pheasant and Tao Rabbit to take action, and even the accompanying instructors did not move. Nuo Xia jumped ahead of all the eager companions and swam in to meet them. In just ten minutes, he easily cleared the entire boat. All pirates were eliminated.

While gaining a small amount of battle merit, the progress of the Sinful Man's Blood required to upgrade Yongen's Dual Swords was also increased from "(278/1000)" to "(430/1000)" in one go.

It was another wave of unexpected surprises, and I was very happy.

After arriving at the headquarters.

Qingzhi and Zefa met at the port, resigned from the position of temporary chief instructor, and completed the handover.

Zefa was very satisfied with the performance of this elite camp disciples in this actual combat assessment.

He couldn't help but be impressed by the amazing performance of several top players, especially Nuo Xia.

As soon as he brought the recruits back to the elite camp, Zefa directly announced the final ranking of this assessment in front of everyone——

It’s a very difficult chapter to write. I apologize for delaying it until now. This is the first update. The second update will be very late. Those who can’t wait should read it tomorrow morning~
