Although it is a dangerous world of pirates, at their age, most people have not even held decent weapons, let alone fought with real swords and guns.
However, the guy in front of them, whom they had previously regarded as a "connected person", clearly looked harmless to humans and animals, and even looked like a disabled person before boarding the ship. The number of lives under his hands was actually more than that of most official naval forces.
many!
The new sailors who knew Wood's "true face" were very lucky at the moment. When they were still on the ship, they estimated Zefa's relationship and did not provoke this evil star, otherwise now...
Following Zefa's embarrassing blow, Wood could clearly feel that the eyes around him changed, and Wood's expression also turned into a bitter look.
This is completely different from the persona he wanted to maintain before. He must find a way to reverse the situation and let everyone get to know him again!
"General Zefa actually over-rewarded me. I'm just a child. How could I possibly kill a ruthless pirate with a bounty of 20 million beli on his head?"
The pirate group was killed with the help of the townspeople on the island. The pirate captain was also a paper tiger, and he was seriously injured. I was just lucky enough to get the last hit."
Compared to Zefa's words, Wood's explanation is obviously more convincing.
After all, Wood was only sixteen years old, and pirates were not wood. It was really hard for them to believe that the seemingly shy and sunny boy in front of them could actually kill all the pirates chopping up melons and vegetables.
"But even if, as you said, you just took advantage of it later, at your age, having the courage to kill so many pirates is already very impressive.
Since Zefa praises you so much, let me see if you are as strong-minded as you say."
Before Wood could react, almost as soon as Garp finished speaking, Wood felt that he was enveloped by a powerful aura.
The source of this aura was the naval hero Monkey D. Garp in front of him!
As a Vice Admiral and a famous hero of the Navy, Garp actually took a new recruit who had just joined the Navy seriously!
Garp does not have the domineering power of a king, and the power he is using now is not the power of domineering power.
But after fighting and fighting on the sea for so many years, even if Garp doesn't have "overlord-like domineering", he still has a powerful momentum.
What enveloped Wood at this moment was Garp's powerful aura and his murderous intention towards Wood.
Because the aura emitted is like an overlord color and cannot be targeted at a specific target, so when Garp exudes his own aura and murderous intent, other people around him also feel it.
Seeing Garp acting so recklessly, Zefa immediately blocked the recruits with his tall body, using his own aura to block this wave of terrifying aura oppression for them.
However, while the other recruits were escorted by Zefa, Wood's luck was not so good.
Because of being named out of the queue before, Wood's current position is closest to Garp, so he is the first to bear the brunt of the pressure caused by this wave of murderous aura.
As unlucky as him is Major General Kadaru, who is also not far away from him. This guy is only a few steps away from him, and he is now also the target of special care.
Some people think that Karp is very kind, but Wood thinks that is all relative terms. A guy who can throw his grandson who is less than ten years old into the jungle can be so kind!
Killing intent surged forward like a flood. At this moment, Wood felt as if his body was falling into an ice cellar.
There was obviously nothing on his body, but now Wood felt that his shoulders were as heavy as a thousand stones, and the strong sense of oppression made Wood's consciousness begin to blur, and his feet began to swing involuntarily.
Every pore in the body is instinctively warning the body when it feels the breath around it.
Just like the natural suppression of prey at the top of the food chain, Wood's biological instinct was to sense danger, and after the brain received such a signal, it was transmitted to every nerve in his body.
Garp in front of him still maintained the same standing posture as before, and he was still feeding senbei into his mouth.
However, the feeling that the other party brought to Wood was completely different from just now. The old man was still the same old man, but at this moment, Wood felt that the other party was like a towering mountain, and he could not reach the side at a glance!
The heavy pressure forced Wood's body to slowly bend over. When he was under the unspeakable pressure, Wood also thought about giving up resistance and lying flat on the ground. This was in line with the setting he created at the beginning.
However, my intuition tells me that if I really do this now, I will no longer be able to make progress in the way of swordsmanship, and becoming a "swordsman" will become a luxury.
Along the way of swordsmanship, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Only by having the courage to challenge the strong can your state of mind and swordsmanship be sublimated, just like Zoro challenges Hawkeye, and Hawkeye challenges Whitebeard.
It's okay to be timid at ordinary times, but if he were to retreat now, Wood's instinct told him that he would definitely regret it in the future.
His back was completely wet with cold sweat, and the ground under his feet was now stepped on by Wood with two deep dents. However, even so, Wood's resisting feet continued to bend more and more.
Just when Wood lost consciousness because of the murderous intent around him that was so thick that it almost turned into substance, Zefa on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and called for a stop.
"Garp, it's alright. This kid's injuries are only just right. If you do this, it will cause his injuries to relapse."
The terrifying aura came and went quickly, and the murderous aura that was so thick that it was almost suffocating was like the moment when the tide receded. Wood's body suddenly collapsed to the ground irresistibly, and he was breathing heavily.
Although he had done nothing, Wood now felt that what had just happened was more dangerous than when he was fighting Iron Arm Cook.
Only a few minutes passed, and Wood felt extremely tired, both physically and mentally.
"Good guy, this kid does have something. He was able to stay awake under the aura lock I just had.
If you have this kind of power, let’s not mention your current strength for now, but I can be sure that your achievements in the future should be quite impressive."
Wood, who was slumped on the ground gasping for air, looked puzzled when he heard Karp's words.
From his own feeling, his performance just now should have been quite unbearable. Why did he get such a high evaluation?
Garp, who saw Wood's puzzled expression, also knew what he was thinking, so he raised his head and motioned Wood to look behind him.
