From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 52 The Second Month of Missing the Celestial Dragons

"Each person receives three bounty posters, along with information on the target pirate."

"The targets are chosen based on the strength you have demonstrated, so they are unlikely to be very difficult, but they are not easy either."

"As marines, you will one day be chasing pirates on these high seas. Strength is important, but it's not everything at sea."

Zephyr's voice was loud and clear on the high platform, and the naval trainees below were equally excited.

After all, he had trained for so long, and here he had gone from recognizing Haki to awakening this power. He now had a way to deal with the previously invincible Logia-type Devil Fruits.

Naturally... everyone was eager to try.

Zephyr frowned slightly behind his sunglasses: "I think you need to understand... the pirates you're dealing with aren't the kind from the Four Seas; the targets are pirates from the Grand Line!"

"Among them are many trash who returned from the New World. They're no weaker than you, and Devil Fruit users are plentiful. In comparison, they're much better at fighting!"

"So you little brats! Come back alive!"

……

All the naval personnel began boarding, and warships set sail from Marineford.

Meanwhile, Zephyr at headquarters kept his eyes fixed on the port, a fleeting worry hidden behind his sunglasses.

After his family was killed by pirates, he devoted all his energy to teaching the younger generation. He shared his experience with every student without reservation, even Borsalino.

"Teacher, we're leaving too."

"Um."

Zefa let out a sigh of relief: "They're all still young. Let the communications department work a little harder and maintain long-term communication so that our support can arrive as soon as possible."

"clear."

……

On the warship, a captain in charge of the assessment saluted Kevin.

"Major Kevin, which target should we confirm first for the next leg of the voyage?"

Kevin waved his hand casually: "Any one will do. You guys search according to the situation. If you encounter any pirates on the way, let me know first, and I'll try to catch up with them using Moonwalk."

"If we can win, we'll capture them all. If we can't, you run away first, and I'll catch up."

⊙_⊙

The captain was stunned.

Why does his casual tone sound so much like Vice Admiral Garp's?

And... shouldn't you call for backup if you can't win? Wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing for the Navy to be chased by pirates?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Kevin yawned, stood up, and patted the man on the shoulder: "Don't worry. You're sailing with me, so I'll make sure you all get back safely. So if you encounter pirates, don't rush to chase them. I'll test the waters first. If it works, we'll all go for it; if not, we'll run away."

After saying this, Kevin took a deck chair from the cabin. He went in as his real body and came out as a shadow clone.

After all, time at sea is very boring. There are other people to take care of the sailing, steering, and other miscellaneous things, so he naturally doesn't have much to do.

The shadow clone was fast asleep on a deckchair on the deck, while the captain sighed and began to plan the route and identify the target.

This year's academy trainee monster seems to have a personality similar to Vice Admiral Garp. Although he's a bit lazy, they get along quite well, at least better than Vice Admiral Sakazuki.

……

As usual, Kevin arrived at the lawless area of ​​the Sabaody Archipelago. He took out a map and looked at the spots that he hadn't hunted yet.

Although this island is the easiest place to encounter Celestial Dragons, it's not big news when Celestial Dragons come down to play, and they won't give any advance notice.

The previous time, there was some distance between them. After Kevin learned of the Celestial Dragons' appearance, he immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the corresponding area, only to find that the fat worm had already captured a slave and left.

So it was lucky that Tesoro's intelligence hit the mark on the first try.

The main purpose of coming to Sabaody was to find a vessel for Roger's soul. And in Kevin's view, there was naturally no better place to find trash.

However, three hours later, Kevin found that the security in the outlaw area had suddenly improved; at least there were no more people being ambushed in the dark alleys.

Kevin scratched his head.

They've been quite aggressive lately; the auction house hasn't been open for a month.

As for the human trafficking shops, they were so terrified a month ago that they went from operating openly to operating covertly, and there are no shops left at all.

In the fourth hour, Kevin went directly to Area Thirteen.

"Oh? What a coincidence!"

Kevin pushed open the door and saw Rayleigh drinking, but he was wearing a white mask.

Shakky, who was wiping her wine glass, looked over first, frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "The last time we met you had the face of a vice admiral, but this time you're wearing a mask. This little guy isn't being sincere at all."

Kevin chuckled softly and sat down next to Rayleigh at the bar. "If you saw my real face, your retirement days wouldn't be in jeopardy, would they?"

Rayleigh downed his drink in one gulp, then turned to Kevin: "Your teleportation ability makes you so arrogant. Sitting next to me like this might just get you killed."

Kevin replied, "You can't kill me with a single blow. Besides, if you make a move, our positions will be opposed, and you might not see twenty years from now."

Rayleigh was silent for a moment before chuckling, "That's really impressive... The ability of the Imitation Fruit and the Instant Transmission Fruit, and there was also the Ice-Ice Fruit in that battle? Or perhaps it was Wano Country's ninjutsu?"

The two locked eyes.

"That's a bit presumptuous. I didn't ask you about Laugh Tale, so I have no obligation to tell you anything about me, do I?"

Kevin chuckled as he spoke, "But I didn't notice you were there at the time. Were you selling yourself into slavery?"

These words made Rayleigh choke for a moment. After all, this industry was just beginning for him, and he still had some pride to maintain.

Shakky then picked up the conversation: "So, what brings this masked gentleman here? If it's about Hikoichiro, Rayleigh has already told him he can help, but to deal with the Beasts Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates need to join in."

Kevin: "There are still more than three years left in Wano Country, no rush. I came to ask if there is any information about the Celestial Dragons, and it would be best if you could tell me when they will come down and where they will be."

After she finished speaking, Shakky and Rayleigh exchanged a glance and fell silent.

After a long pause, Xia Qi finally replied, "I don't know, no."

Clearly, Knock on Bamboo Bar doesn't want to get involved in this mess.

Rayleigh, who had been to Laugh Tale, might share Kevin's stance, but like Roger back then, he believed more in the future, twenty years from now.

If Roger hadn't become the warden, and hadn't known anything about the prison and the treasure chest, he wouldn't have thought highly of Kevin either.

……

I humbly request that all the experts read this.
