Pirates: The wages are in place and the Yonko will be kicked out.

Time flies, the years fly by, and the time flies... Well, it's not that exaggerated. In fact, it was only two days since Lizefa started teaching Porusalino and Sakaski.

Contrary to these words that describe how time flies, Polusalino's past two days have been extremely difficult, and it almost feels like years - during the training process, General Zefa did not allow him to use the ability of the Shining Fruit. , just let him rely on his body to dodge. The consequence of this was that although nothing could be seen on his face (Polusalino begged not to be slapped in the face), Porushalino's body was already covered in bruises.

In fact, General Zefa did not do this out of bad taste (although he smiled very badly), but was really conducting targeted special training for Porusalino. With his keen eye, he could tell at a glance that none of the six navy styles was suitable for Porusalino. Because whether it is displacement, attack or defense, the Shining Fruit is very good. There is no need to leave the better Devil Fruit abilities unused, and instead choose the inferior Marine Sixth Form.

Of course, just as he said, General Zefa's sudden attack on Porusalino was, on the one hand, to let Polusalino verify his conjecture; on the other hand, it was also to test Polusalino. His current strength verifies Zefa's own conjecture.

——That is, Porusalino's flash speed is limited by his thinking reaction speed.

It was precisely because this conjecture was verified that Zefa asked Porusalino not to use the ability of the Shining Fruit and only rely on body reactions to dodge his attacks. This can not only improve Porusalino's reaction speed, thereby increasing his flash speed, but also lay a solid foundation for him to practice Armed Color Haki and Knowledge Color Haki in the future.

Of course Porusalino himself understood this, so when Zefa beat him, he really tried his best to dodge and cooperate.

Who is Danzifa? One of the navy's current highest combat powers and the top powerhouse in the pirate world. Even if he let go like Porusalino did to Wang Lufei in the future, Porusalino still lived a miserable life most of the time.

Especially in the middle and second half of these two days of training, the mental fatigue coupled with physical exertion meant that Porusalino was beaten almost four-fifths of the time.

(If you want to be beaten, then you should be beaten. The admiral will let you go and beat you as your sparring partner. Such an opportunity is not something you can get easily.)

While touching the bruises on his body, Porusalino grinned and comforted himself in his heart.

By avoiding being beaten to improve the speed of thinking and reaction, this training method with a strong "Kapu flavor" may seem low-level and barbaric, but it is very effective. After two days of high-intensity training, Porusalino could clearly feel that his elemental speed and laser release speed had been significantly improved.

Of course, Porusalino has made great progress, and Sakaski has also gained a lot. Lieutenant General He's dedicated guidance coupled with his own talent enabled Sakaski to use the shaver in a decent manner.

"shave!"

Seeing Sakaski appearing five meters away the moment he finished speaking, Lieutenant General He clapped his hands with satisfaction:

"It's amazing that you can practice shaving to this extent in two days, Sakaski!"

"It should be two and a half days, Lieutenant General He."

Sakaski also smiled slightly.

"Yes, two and a half days...that means the navy elite class will start tomorrow, and you two will start competing tomorrow."

Lieutenant General He chuckled.

"yes."

Sakaski nodded, and together with Lieutenant General He looked at the other side of the training ground A - where Porusalino was receiving beating training from General Zefa.

"Huh-huh-"

Porusalino gasped and stared closely at General Zefa standing in front of him, his eyes sharp as he had never shown in the Beihai branch before.

"Out of 1,200 attacks within ten minutes, 411 were dodged. Porusalino, there's another improvement..."

Zefa smiled and shook his arm.

"If you have an improvement, it means you haven't done enough... It's just that you have dodged 411 times... Phew..."

Porusalino spoke, but his spirit did not relax at all.

——In the past two and a half days, there have been at least 30 times. Zefa looked like "the training is over", and suddenly hit him with a heavy punch as he spoke. Who knows if he will be like this this time...

Seeing that Porusalino was as alert as a ferocious beast ambushing his prey, General Zefa burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, Porusalino, you guy... don't worry, I won't make sudden attacks again. .”

"Really?"

Porusalino's body was still tense and his spirit was highly concentrated, "But I don't really believe it, General Zefa..."

"It's for real this time,"

Zefa shrugged his shoulders as if he was extremely helpless, "Sure enough, I left a shadow on you before."

"You actually know that too..."

"It won't happen this time, it really won't happen. Half a day has passed today, and the navy elite class will start tomorrow morning. You and Sakaski will have a good competition. Even if I don't let you two rest, I You have to rest, you have to prepare for tomorrow’s opening ceremony..."

"So, this time it's really over, really really over, believe me."

"Then let me believe you..."

Porusalino slowly relaxed his muscles.

Seeing Porusalino's shoulders slump in a relaxed manner, returning to his usual carefree appearance, General Zefa nodded with satisfaction and turned around as he spoke:

"Let's go and meet Xiaohe and the others. I'll treat you to a meal later. You two have worked hard these past two days."

"Although I am very happy to be invited to dinner by you, this meal should be provided by Sakaski and I. You two have worked hard..."

Porusalino followed Zefa and walked towards Sakaski and the others.

"By the way, Porusalino, do you know how to drink?"

"I can drink, but not much."

"Really, in that moment I and you..."

Zefa, who was walking in front, was mid-sentence when he suddenly stood up, turned his body sharply to the right, and struck straight into Porusalino's abdomen with a powerful whip leg!

"...I knew you were going to do it again..."

Porusalino, who relied on his body's instinctive reaction to avoid the whip kick in an instant, said rather speechlessly that General Zefa's toes were only 5 centimeters away from his abdomen.

"1201 attacks, 412 successful evades. Well done, Porusalino..."

Zefa smiled and retracted his leg.

"This is all trained by you..."

Porusalino shrugged helplessly - this time he really felt that Zefa had no desire to attack again.

"But that alone is not enough,"

Zefa turned around again and continued to walk forward while saying, "I will spare your hand, but the enemy will not. You must continue to practice!"

"I see,"

Porusalino nodded, "Speaking of which, General Zefa, I have a question to ask you...it's about the Armed Haki you mentioned before."

"About Armed Color Haki? Tell me."

"You said that Armed Color Haki is like a layer of armor attached to the human body. What is the specific thickness of this layer of 'armor'? Is the five centimeters I kept with you just now considered a safe distance?"

Porusalino asked.

(When I traveled through Advanced Armed Color Haki, Oda hadn’t had time to explain it in detail. I didn’t know what the situation was yet...)

"I didn't expect you kid would actually consider this..."

Zefa glanced at Porusalino in surprise, "Well, the thickness of Armed Haki varies from person to person. How much is the specific thickness and what is considered a safe distance? I can't give you a unified answer. However, against Armed Haki A top expert, you must at least keep a distance of more than two meters from him, so that you can take advantage of being a natural Devil Fruit user."

"Two meters... I understand."

(No wonder Porusalino's Amancongyun Sword is that long, not just for the sake of being handsome and handy...)

"Well...what are you going to do in the afternoon after dinner? Is it going to take a walk around our naval headquarters, or..."

"I plan to go back and have a good rest. I've been too tired these two days,"

Porusalino said miserably, "There are bruises all over my body from your beatings... If you can't beat Sakaski tomorrow, you can't blame me..."

"Does beating you count as your fault?"

"...Hey, you are going too far! Are you actually such a general?!"

"If I kill you, no one will know that I am such a general."

"...I was wrong, please forgive me."

Porusalino gave in decisively.

"So, what are you going to do in tomorrow's competition?"

"Don't worry, you will never paddle, just go all out!"

…

After treating Porusalino and Sakaski to a meal in their exclusive high-end box in the navy canteen, Admiral Zefa and Lieutenant General He returned to the fortress building of the Navy Headquarters.

"In tomorrow's match between Sakaski and Porusalino, which one do you like more?"

Lieutenant General He asked Zefa with a smile.

Zefa was originally going to say that the two were of similar strength and the result of the battle should be a draw. But inexplicably, I remembered some of Porusalino’s seemingly casual words in the past few days, and I couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment:

"...That guy Porusalino might have a better chance of winning."

"Oh? You actually think so?"

Lieutenant General He was a little surprised. When she asked this question, she didn't actually think about who Zefa would favor. After all, both of them were natural types, and it was difficult to tell the winner when neither had armed domineering power. The main purpose of her asking this question was to hear Zefa's views on these two people, but she didn't expect Zefa to have such an obvious bias...

"That guy Porusalino... always gives me a... very inexplicable feeling..."

Zefa considered his words, "It feels like he has hidden a lot of things, and these things may be the key to his victory over Sakaski..."

"Is he hiding a lot of things? With his character, it is indeed possible..."

He smiled helplessly, "But having said that, is Judiciary Island ready? Is it okay tomorrow?"

"Well, everything is ready."

ps: Some things were delayed today, so the update is a bit late, but this is a big chapter of 3200 words, and there will be another update in the evening!

ps: There was a comment today that made me laugh again. Someone said that in a place like the pirate world where strength is paramount, no one would challenge Porusalino, a Devil Fruit user with a promising future. Let the protagonist pretend to be strong and write forcefully. Then I can only suggest that you don’t read One Piece or Pirates fandoms. Regardless of how Luffy faces various enemies who are countless times stronger than him, just mentioning the Shampoo Islands, a group of so-called miscellaneous fishes are not only He wanted to steal 300 million heads, and also used a gun to sneak attack Kizaru, who was already a general, so is Oda also forcing himself to draw a pirate? It's really outrageous to go out specifically to show off the uniqueness of one's thinking.
