Chapter 30 Gion: I am willing to be Wood's opponent
"In the past year, you have all completed various demanding trainings, and those who can stay now are the best among everyone.
But don’t feel complacent because of this, because no matter how excellent the assessment results are, they are just theoretical.”
"Today is your first class, and we don't want to play games.
In order to get to know you better and let you understand what real actual combat is, I decided to let two of you who have actual combat experience compete with each other first."
After hearing Zefa's words, Wood, who was standing at the end of the team, felt quite bad inside and quickly lowered his head to reduce his sense of presence.
However, Zefa's sharp eyes, after scanning everyone, finally found Wood, who had been trying to be a little transparent.
"Boy Wood, it's just you. As for your opponent..."
Although most of the people here are elites in the naval academy and have experience in fighting in the past, few people have such experience in real life-and-death combat.
Hearing Zefa call out Wood's name, most of the other students present also showed a strong look on their faces.
As a classmate for a year, even though we rarely met each other, there were still people who knew Wood more or less.
However, in their memories, Wood should be regarded as a quite ordinary passerby. Could such a person have real life-and-death fighting experience?
The people who entered the naval academy in the same class as Wood were not the only ones from Zefara's two ships.
Even the people who came to the Navy Headquarters on the same ship as Wood, after seeing Wood's mediocre performance during this year, also believed that the pirates on Red Leaf Island were killed by Zefa himself.
"Report! Teacher Zefa, before I entered the Naval Academy, I fought against some pirates, so I also have some practical experience.
Now I am happy to be Wood's opponent, compete with him, and demonstrate to others what real combat is!"
After choosing Wood, Zefa was originally quite worried about how to find someone to discuss with.
After all, today is the first day he has met the students of this class. Except for Wood, who left a deep impression on him, he is really not familiar with the others yet.
Originally, Zefa had planned to leave in person, or find a naval officer to compete with Wood. Who knew that Gion, who was in the team, suddenly took the initiative to express that she was happy to become Wood's competition partner.
"It turns out to be Gion girl. Indeed, if it were you, you should be as powerful as Wood Kid.
Well, Wood, Gion, you two are going out, and now we will begin the actual combat competition. It is up to you to choose the weapons and fighting methods, as long as you can give full play to your strength."
Gion, who had received Zefa's permission, was obviously very excited and entered the training ground directly, looking at Wood in the team with a fighting spirit.
"I have already said that we will have a chance to fight against each other soon. Now Teacher Zefa has specially named us to compete. Do you want to refuse too?"
Gion stood the "Kinhira" with a white handle and a red lacquer scabbard in front of him, and his body also exuded the unique fierce aura of a "swordsman".
"I choose to surrender! I am just a loser. Even if it is a competition, what reason is there for the first place to compete with me?
Moreover, the 'Kinhira' in Gion's hand is a famous sword known as the guardian of the sea. I don't even have a decent sword, so this duel is too unfair."
Being regarded so highly by Admiral Gion and Zefa, who were rare cold beauties in the navy, everyone around him originally thought that Wood would be excited to accept the battle.
After all, even if he lost the battle, he would at least let Teacher Zefa and Gion remember his appearance. However, what everyone didn't expect was that when faced with Gion who was looking for a fight, Wood didn't even fight himself. It’s down!
A beautiful swordsman invites a battle, but this guy surrenders without even fighting. How the hell is he still a man!
When he heard what Wood said on the stage, Gion also looked surprised and said: "As a swordsman, you don't even have your own sword?"
Wood was not a "swordsman", but at least he was a very skilled swordsman. Gion was sure that he was not mistaken about this.
However, what she didn't expect was that a swordsman like Wood who could make herself feel threatened would not even have his own sword!
"Nonsense, do you think that famous knives are just cabbage? Not to mention the rare and supreme Kwai Knife with 12 Kung Fu, even the 21 Kung Fu Knife with 21 Kung Fu and the 50 Kung Fu Knife with Good Knife are all rare and famous knives in the sea, and their preciousness is not as high as How much smaller is a devil fruit?"
After becoming a "swordsman", Wood naturally tried to get a reasonably good sword.
And during the holidays, it was not like he had not gone to the market area to learn about the market, and he finally came to the conclusion that famous knives have a price but no market, and even if someone sells them, he can't afford them at all with Wood's net worth.
Wood didn't even have a sword, and he was using "Kinpira". Gion did bully Wood a little, so after hesitating for a while, Gion inserted "Kinpira" on the ground aside and put it in a Learned the starting hand posture of martial arts.
Gion is a "swordsman", and she can also feel that Wood has a good level of swordsmanship. If possible, she would naturally want to compete with Wood in swordsmanship.
But if the conditions between the two sides are not equal, Gion will not be happy even if he defeats Wood, and may even feel that the victory is in vain.
"Nonsense! As a glorious navy, if you face the enemy, do you have to choose to flee without fighting?
Since you feel that the conditions between you and Gion are not equal, then I will lend you a famous sword.
But if you choose another reason to surrender without fighting, I will let you know how serious the consequences are for trampling on the dignity of the navy!"
Zefa undoubtedly loves the navy deeply, which is why he will continue to use other methods to carry out his justice after losing his family.
Wood was one of the children he was optimistic about before, and he also hoped that Wood could become one of the best marines. However, Wood's behavior just now really disappointed Zefa.
The navy is the strongest force on the entire sea, and it also controls most of the resources on the sea.
In the resource library of the Navy Headquarters, even precious Devil Fruits and famous swords are naturally in stock.
As a general of Zefa's headquarters, if he wanted to control a famous sword, it would not be a big problem.
So very quickly, under Zefa's request, in just a few dozen minutes, two navy officers sent a long sword with a sky blue handle and scabbard and a cherry blossom-shaped jaw to Zefa. in front of.
