Nuo Xia's expression moved slightly, and he took a closer look at this shy young man, and found that he did indeed look quite similar to the person in his impression. Looking back twenty years, he was about the same age.
That’s right, it should be the Ship-Slasher, T. Penn.
In the original timeline, this guy was the captain of the Navy Headquarters who was responsible for escorting Nico Robin during the Water City Incident. He didn't write much about it and only appeared in a few words or two. He was the kind of guy who was easily forgotten in the corner.
A minor role.
But Nosha has not forgotten.
"If the prisoners who were originally escorted by me were released into this world again, I don't know how many innocent people would bleed and shed tears because of them!"
"Even in this unfair and unjust world, I want to prove that justice and justice still exist in this place!"
The man who can say such words, uphold his faith, and put them into practice should not be forgotten.
"How old are you this year, kid?" He asked expressionlessly, thinking of taking the exam.
"Ten...fifteen years old."
The "big man" from the headquarters spoke. Penn became even more nervous and lowered his head to answer in a low voice.
"You just joined the army, right?" Noxia pretended to frown, "Citeles Island is a two-day voyage from here. Have you ever sailed a boat? Can you do it alone?"
"How about changing to another one?" Colonel Bacco on the side observed his words and immediately pouted at the other sailors behind him, "I brought several people here, you can choose from them."
Nuo Xia didn't say anything, but looked at Penn quietly.
"I...I can do it!"
It seemed that because of being questioned, Penn suddenly became anxious. He suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Nuo Xia with piercing eyes, and his voice became much louder:
"I have been in the army for two years. I am very skilled in sailing. I am from the West Sea and I am very familiar with the nearby waters. Please...please trust me!"
"very good."
Nuo Xia nodded with satisfaction, pointed at the boy, and said to Colonel Bacco beside him: "No need to change, it's him."
…………
You never know how scary a self-disciplined person can be.
Penn, who was only fifteen years old at the time, originally thought that he was among the most diligent and self-disciplined people in the world. However, after meeting Nosha, he realized how wrong he was.
At 2:00 in the middle of the night, we boarded the ship and left the shore.
2:00-4:00, practice and exercise.
4:00-6:00, practice and exercise.
6:00-8:00, practice and exercise.
8:00-8:01: I can’t hold it in any longer and go pee.
8:01-12:00, practice and exercise.
…
Along the way, while T. Penn was at the helm, he just looked at Nuoxia in bewilderment as he kept practicing hard on the deck.
Apart from going to the stern of the ship to take care of some physiological needs, there was almost no pause for rest.
More than ten hours in total.
Is this still a person?
As time passed, and it was already afternoon in a blink of an eye, Penn stared at the back of Nuo Xia who was practicing swordsmanship for a while, and felt that it was time for him to stand up and remind him something.
"Um, Mr. Noxia..."
He didn't know Nuo Xia's specific identity, so he couldn't call him by his military rank, so he could only call him this way.
When Nuo Xia turned to look at him, Penn was afraid that he would disturb the other person, so his tone was a little uneasy: "You... aren't you hungry? Are you too immersed in it and forgot to eat?"
"Um?"
Nuo Xia raised his head belatedly and looked at the glaring sunlight above his head in confusion, "Huh? When did the sun come out? Is it already time to have breakfast?"
"It's lunch." Penn corrected, "It's already half past one in the afternoon, sir."
"It's been so long." He muttered, entered the cabin, and came out with a bunch of cans in his hand. He threw a few to Penn, "Here, you should eat some too."
"No, sir." Penn hurriedly shook his head and said, "I have also prepared dry food. These are specially prepared for you by Colonel Bacco in the cabin. I am not qualified..."
"Eat as long as I tell you to. Why talk so much?"
Nuo Xia stuffed the can into his arms without any refusal, "I have also worked in the grassroots branch, and I know what your dry food is. What if you don't keep up with the nutrition, and the boat is tilted in a daze?
eat!"
"..."
Penn didn't dare to push it out anymore. Besides, these canned foods did taste far more attractive than dry food, and his stomach was indeed growling with hunger.
So after politely thanking Nosha, he opened the can and ate it hungrily.
Nuo Xia smiled, opened his own can, and opened his own can.
Compared to the starving Penn, his eating appearance is much better, or in other words, with his appearance and temperament, it is impossible to look ugly.
Even if he is sitting in a restaurant and eating like Luffy, he still cannot affect the admiring looks of the girls passing by.
While eating, Nuo Xia was also silently reviewing the hard training just now in his mind.
The huge improvement in physical fitness brought by adding points is reflected in all aspects, and it is especially useful during practice. It feels like you can still be energetic after doing tens of thousands of push-ups in one breath and practicing Suzhen thousands of times.
It's so comfortable that I feel so comfortable.
Perhaps in Peng En's view, it was quite scary and terrifying for him to practice hard for more than ten hours without stopping, but in Nuo Xia's eyes, at this level, he had not yet tested his current physical limit.
"I feel like I need to change my biological clock."
Nuo Xia thought about it, and he could feel that with his current abnormal physique, it would be difficult for him to be exhausted from more than fifteen hours of daily training before.
In other words, it seems that there is no need to go to bed every night.
There is a guy named Blackbeard who has a special physique and can go for decades without sleeping. He is still unable to do this, but in the future, except for special circumstances, if he rests for one night every two days, it should not be a big problem.
As the saying goes, why do you need to sleep for a long time before you are alive? You will definitely sleep for a long time after death.
It's very satisfying to use other people's sleeping time to improve yourself.
In fact, as an ordinary person, after just experiencing the crazy doubling of attributes by adding points, it would be difficult to calm down and continue the boring daily practice.
If you can wait for a rabbit every day, who wants to go back home from hoeing after sunset every day?
But Nuo Xia is different. He fully understands that drilling requires hard work. Adding more points cannot replace hard work, because the latter tests not only the body, but also the human will.
What's more, the strengthened body also needs to continue to lay a solid foundation and adapt to it through hard training.
"Every time I add points to the next stage, my physical potential seems to be exploited to a greater extent, and the upper limit of my bottleneck will increase accordingly."
While Nuo Xia was thinking about it, he opened another can and took a look inside. The yellow peach one was just about seven to eight times full. It was a good fruit to finish the meal.
"In this way, even if the points required to add points get higher and higher in the future, I can still improve my body's basic attributes through practice."
It's a pity that this week's item shop didn't have a physical training accelerator card. I hope I can get one next week. This thing is cheap and high-quality, and it's really useful.
After finishing the canned yellow peaches, Nuo Xia looked at the time. It was not yet two o'clock. After thinking about it, he looked at Penn and asked: "If the voyage goes well, can we reach Celeste Island before tomorrow night?"
?"
The warship carrying the elite battalion of the headquarters should have arrived at Celeste Island by now. Noxia estimates that the 48-hour actual combat assessment will officially begin before sunset today at the latest.
He didn't expect to arrive as soon as possible, but he should at least catch up with the assessment within the first 24 hours.
"I'm afraid not, sir." Penn shook his head in embarrassment, "Although our ship is a speedboat, we have to reach Celeste Island in the early morning of the day after tomorrow at the earliest."
"Is it early morning the day after tomorrow..."
Nuo Xia sighed. This answer was expected, but that would not leave much time for his assessment.
I hope that by then, all the cadres of the Beki Pirates on the island have not been killed by Shiliu and the others. No matter what, you have to persevere and leave yourself a bite of meat, right?
After a full meal, Nuo Xia lay on the wooden platform under the mast, folded his arms behind his head, and squinted at the sky. It seemed that he was taking a nap in the sea breeze, but in fact, he opened the backpack and was ready to look through the backpack.
This Ryoma's Kendo Comprehension Notes.
During the morning swordsmanship practice, he encountered several problems that he couldn't figure out, so he planned to find the answers in this book.
Opening the backpack bar, next to the worn golden scroll, there was another icon that looked like a golden treasure chest. Only then did Nuo Xia remember that the gift box that was a reward for completing the side mission had not yet been opened.
Speaking of which, he had actually received this thing in his backpack a long time ago.
However, he was still in Peach Rabbit's body at that time. To be cautious and avoid issuing rewards that directly affected the body, such as attribute points, Nuo Xia never opened it.
Now that the body is back, the points have been added, and there is nothing going on lying on the deck, I can take it apart and take a look to verify my bloodline, whether I am a European emperor or a non-chief.
