The clouds were rising, and time was passing through my fingers like quicksand. It had been six days since I returned to Malinvando.
When you climb up and look out, you can see figures practicing sweating profusely. Although most students have mastered shaving now, the required training has not decreased, but continues to increase.
As the training tasks intensified, Foxy and others still struggled to persevere, training during the day and practicing independently at night.
Although shaving was the basis, it was not enough to master the moon step in just three days. However, there was still progress. Foxy could now stay in the air for four to five seconds.
But today evening Zefa appeared.
On the playground, everyone gathered together, but Zefa remained unsmiling.
"Now I give you two choices, either continue to train in the academy, or follow other naval generals to go out to carry out justice and establish military merit."
Zefa is still so neat and tidy.
Standing in the queue, Foxy frowned.
"If you choose to go out to enforce justice, I don't need to tell you the dangers. Think about it carefully and give me your answer tomorrow morning. Now you can move around freely."
After saying that, Zefa disappeared mysteriously, leaving everyone looking at each other.
Divided into several groups, Foxy and others gathered together, and Drake couldn't help but asked, "What do you think?"
"You want to go out?" Foxy looked at Drake's ready-to-move expression.
"Well, it's too boring to stay in the academy."
Derek clenched his fists.
"Although I can become stronger by staying in the academy, I don't have military merit. I also want to learn the other six forms." Xiu Zuo also plans to go out to practice and build some military merit in exchange for the six forms.
"Me too."
Schoenberg, Goodgaspard and others all had this idea. At this age, it is the time when newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. It is obviously not advisable to keep it in the academy.
Even Foxy thinks so too!
Although going to sea will be dangerous, it will allow him to grow quickly.
"Everyone, please be careful, don't let everyone die." Drake's crow mouth never stopped for a moment.
Rolling their eyes, several people didn't bother to pay attention.
Then those who should develop Devil Fruits will develop Devil Fruits, and those who should practice Moon Steps will practice Moon Steps.
Early the next morning, most of the students chose to go to sea, and only a small half of the younger students were forced to stay in the academy by Zefa.
For example, Hina.
That night, several people went to the shopping street to eat and drink, and it was Drake who paid the bill.
On the third day, Foxy arrived at the coast early in the morning. Today he was going to sea with a colonel.
And in addition to his status as a naval cadet, Foxy has now been promoted to a corporal, which is also a corps commander.
This is the impact of the Naval Academy, skipping several levels to become a junior officer. Although this junior officer cannot be any younger, no one dares to ignore it.
After all, the entire Marineland knows that the students who graduate from the Naval Academy will definitely become the mainstay of the Navy in the future.
No one questions this.
However, Foxy is still a student and has not officially graduated yet.
Foxy also said goodbye to Tsuru yesterday, but unfortunately he didn't see Gion. He wanted to go to Gion and go on a mission.
The waves were sparkling, the sea breeze was strong at the coastal entrance, and the waves were lapping one after another. Many warships were docked on the shore, and there were huge and mighty artillery on the left and right.
Foxy arrived at Port 98, where a small warship was loading supplies, apparently going to sea.
"Is this Captain Gortedy's warship?"
Arriving on the warship, Foxy held a document in his hand and found a sailor to ask.
Looking at the medal on the chest, it turned out to be a sergeant, one level higher than him.
"Are you Corporal Foxy?"
Glancing at Foxy, the sergeant was not as arrogant as he was on TV or in the movies, but rather gentle and even a little flattering.
"Yes."
Foxy nodded.
"Give me the papers! Colonel Gortedy is waiting for you."
The sergeant was not surprised by Foxy's arrival; he had obviously received some orders.
"Follow me." After taking the document, the sergeant motioned to Foxy to follow him, and then walked towards the top office of the warship.
Foxy murmured to himself as he walked on the road. He thought he would encounter difficulties, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Sure enough, TV shows are all lies.
When he came to the office door, the sergeant knocked on the door.
"Report, brought to you by Cadet Corporal Foxy."
"Come in."
A thick voice sounded, and Foxy followed the sergeant into the office. What he saw was a big man with a thick beard, very rough and arrogant.
He was on the phone at this time, and his tone was very humble.
"Yes... Lieutenant General He... yes yes..."
The look in his eyes changed, and Foxy heard clearly that it should be He on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Gortedy breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away a cold sweat that didn't exist.
This scene is particularly funny.
Not sure if it was Madaha or not, Gorteddy looked at the sergeant and Foxy in shock after finishing his antics.
"What's up?"
Standing next to the sergeant, Foxy could feel the sergeant's helplessness.
"Colonel Gortedy, Navy Cadet Corporal Foxy is here."
"Oh, are you Corporal Foxy?"
Scratching his head, Gortedy looked a little silly.
"Yes."
Standing up straight, Foxy did not underestimate the opponent. He was still a colonel after all, so he might not be able to beat him if he started to fight.
"Don't be nervous, I also came out of the academy, but I didn't expect that one day I would take students out to sea."
He smiled widely, and his rows of front teeth were particularly dramatic.
"You go down and get familiar with it first, we'll set off right away."
Gortedy didn't say much, he just waved his hand and asked the sergeant to take Foxy to get familiar with the warship first.
"yes."
Looking at the sergeant and Foxy leaving, Gortedy grabbed the water bottle next to him and drank a few sips.
He didn't expect that this student was actually related to Lieutenant General He, who had just called him personally to ask him to take more care of him. No matter how stupid he was, he knew Foxy's future achievements.
It has been more than ten years since I left the Naval Academy before I became a colonel. In addition to my own strength not meeting the requirements, the most important thing is that I don't have a good channel.
Outside, under the leadership of the sergeant, Foxy got acquainted with the warship.
He was also specially placed in a separate room, which was a privilege.
If it were any other corporal, I don't know how busy he would be by now.
Foxy sat on the bed and looked at the room very satisfied. Although it was not very big, he was satisfied.
"I don't know where those guys Gaspard have been assigned."
This time when I went out for training, everyone was separated and followed by different generals. They might be lieutenant colonels, colonels, or major generals, but I'm not sure.
For example, Foxy was assigned to this warship led by a colonel.
Yesterday, Foxy thought about it and told Jasper Deshun and others a lot about the direction of Devil Fruit development.
It is considered a gift between friends.
After all, Gaspard and others have changed a lot because of Foxy's appearance...
