From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 32 Natural Science in the Youth Training Camp

The Navy, like the World Government, is under its jurisdiction, and its operating funds come from the World Government.

The Five Elders repeatedly told Sengoku and later Akainu: "Pay attention to your position." This statement alone is enough to explain everything.

For these high-ranking people, the navy is a force that requires not only power but also obedience from its controllers.

Unlike Garp, Sengoku has always been rebellious, not to mention the "D" in his surname.

With Spandane's endorsement of his "loyalty," as long as he demonstrates sufficient strength, credit for his promotion will be readily arranged for him.

Spandam's previous boasts about becoming a lieutenant general in the headquarters fell short of expectations, and after arriving at Marineford, Kevin's ambition was to become one of the three admirals.

There's a saying that goes, "Use someone else's chicken to lay your own eggs."

The World Government sees the Navy's purpose as maintaining the Celestial Empire and balancing the power of pirates, but most Navy personnel believe they became Navy to kill pirates, protect ordinary people, and have enough to eat.

These people are all potential recruits for the revolutionary army.

The essence is to minimize the number of enemies and expand one's own people to all corners of the world.

……

Outdoor training ground.

Here, training to push physical limits is underway. The new batch of trainees come from all over the world, and not everyone's physique has reached the threshold of dominance.

It stems from a firm will, but mastering and utilizing it requires physical fitness.

High-intensity physical training, pushing limits time and time again, and the regeneration of new strength from within the body not only enhances physical fitness but also mental will.

Only in this way, even if this group of people does not stay at headquarters in the end, as long as their will remains firm and they do not become decadent after returning to the branches in all directions, their strength will be greatly enhanced.

"Ask yourselves in your hearts, ask yourselves why you originally joined the Navy!"

Beside the training field, Zefa's sharp gaze swept over the entire area, each question piercing straight to the heart.

"Whether you want to arrest pirates to protect civilians, or because someone important died at the hands of pirates, or simply because you can't survive and need to make a living!"

"You all need strength to protect everything you have now!"

"Strengthen your will; only then can you awaken its power!"

When you can no longer jump or run, think back to how regretful you felt when you were powerless to do anything!

"This is Marineford! This is Marine Headquarters! This is the place on the entire ocean that can give you the most strength!"

"If you don't seize this opportunity, one day you'll regret it and want to kill your present self!"

……

His words of encouragement inspired the young sailors before him, some even revealing their own scars without hesitation.

Zephyr, once known as the "Unkillable Admiral," found his principles crumbling day by day after his family was killed by pirates.

He applied for retirement, but was stopped by the Air Marshal. Although he no longer held the responsibilities of a general, he still retained the rank of general.

In addition, he has been serving as an instructor at the Navy Headquarters Elite Youth Training Camp for eleven years.

The three future admirals and numerous vice admirals—basically the backbone of the entire navy—all came from his ranks.

At this moment, Zephyr checked the time and directly asked the major in charge of new recruits, "Why isn't Kevin, the new recruit who was supposed to report for duty at noon today, here?"

The major immediately stood up and replied, "Because of Lieutenant General Kuzan's situation, there might be no one reminding him that he should come to the training camp immediately."

A glint flashed in Zephyr's sunglasses: "Those who haven't made up their minds to become stronger need their will strengthened even more. Have Orl go and bring him here. Also, tell Orl that if he doesn't comply, force can be used."

The major was taken aback.

This reminder to a Logia-type Devil Fruit user makes the meaning even clearer. Furthermore, Orl himself has always looked up to Vice Admiral Kuzan, so it seems he clearly wants to teach Kevin from the West Blue a lesson.

It's important to know that very few of the branch naval forces across the four seas have awakened Haki. And without Haki, Logia-type Devil Fruit users are invincible.

In that case, perhaps Professor Zeffa also has some opinions about Kevin because of Lieutenant General Kuzan?

Soon, the major in charge of recording jumped down from the training field to look for someone.

In reality, Zefa was thinking that a student who didn't immediately seize the opportunity to train and learn might be getting carried away by the fame he had gained in the West Sea.

Making him aware of his shortcomings as soon as possible is the responsible attitude towards students.

……

Downstairs in the youth training camp dormitory building.

When Orl first learned that he had to fetch the help himself, he was unwilling to waste training time.

However, he was excited when he learned that the person he was to call was Kevin.

Such a despicable person who betrayed his recommender is despicable even among pirates. Only the World Government's intelligence agency would need such an obedient dog.

But it's just a dog, how could it be worthy of being trained with me?

The youth training camp only lasts for a little over a year, followed by another intensive training camp. If you suffer a serious injury at this point and fall behind from the start, it's only natural that you'll have to slink back to Xihai in disgrace.

Just as he was thinking this, Orl arrived at Kevin's dormitory door. After smiling, bubbles suddenly appeared on his body, and he collapsed into a puddle of mud.

Muddy water seeped in through the gaps under the door and then reformed.

Orl looked at Kevin, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

Could this young and good-looking guy have sold his body to someone in the CP?

He has no sense of vigilance whatsoever. How can such a guy be worthy of being called the new generation of elites in the Navy, just like me?

The next second, streams of muddy water fell down, spreading to the area under Kevin's bed.

Only by covering his mouth and nose can he ensure that no sound can be heard, and by not restricting his physical movement, he can later claim that the guy didn't want to get up and attacked first.

However, just as the muddy water approached the bed, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Orl's neck.

The entity is captured in an instant, with no time to pre-elementalize and clear the space to be attacked, or even time to react.

"I was actually planning to see what you were up to, but your Devil Fruit ability is just too filthy. These are brand new sheets, you're going to wash them if they get dirty?"

Kevin rubbed his eyes with his other hand, then sat up and withdrew his left hand, which was already adorned with Armament Haki.

Throughout the entire process, Orl did not make the slightest rash move, because he could sense the other party's ease, as well as the power in that hand that could kill him at any moment.

The Armament Haki on her neck was utterly ineffective against the opponent's power.

I'm begging you to continue reading! I'm begging you all, I'm desperate for help!
