Capítulo 19: John's Terrifying Will
Speaking of which, the forty students this semester didn't have a very warm relationship with each other, at least not as good as when John went to school in his previous life.
Everyone had their own plans, and even if they communicated with each other, it was difficult to make genuine friends, after all, we were all adults, and adult people are more interested in pursuing their own interests, unless it was people who did not have no interests.
Two groups of freshmen who went on their first trip to the sea did not know that immediately after they sailed, two warships followed each of them.
"Sitting at headquarters all day is a hell of a job, although protecting these recruits is also troublesome, but it's more convenient than being at headquarters all the time, wahahahahaha, I'm really resourceful after all, and took the initiative to claim this mission." .
Behind John and their warship, far behind them, rode a warship, and on its karma, Garp, wearing a dog-headed hat, laughed triumphantly.
This time, for the elite-class practical exam, Zephyr took the initiative to report to Marshal Kong and, in order to maximize the training of recruits, went so far as to allow recruits to form their own teams to defeat the pirates, with only a notepad on top of the warship. commodore.
This had not happened in the past at the Naval Academy; there were occasions when recruits went on a crusade against pirates, but this was always led by strong naval officers, and the recruits simply followed them and watched the world, rarely having a chance to fight.
Zephyr's request for a similar practical battle was considered for a long time before Kong finally agreed, but this elite class was full of talent, so of course he was worried about it, he highly valued them.
To prevent accidents, the Marines sent two strong officers to guard, one of whom, of course, was Zephyr's instructor, and the other was Vice Admiral Garp, who volunteered.
Zephyr walked behind the other group with his men, and Garp followed John and the others with his men, separated by a distance where they would not be seen, and in case of an accident, the commodore taking the record would take the initiative to contact them.
"Still no encounters with pirates?"
It had been a full two days since they had left the fleet headquarters, but what was depressing to the whole group was that they had not encountered a single pirate.
John also secretly muttered, although the first half of the Grant Line was not as chaotic as the New World, the number of pirates was a minority, maybe this is because the era of great pirates has not yet arrived, due to which all the pirates of the four seas have not yet gathered in Grant Line?
In fact, if they could enlist the support of the fleet intelligence, John and the others would not be wandering around like headless flies, but this time it was a test for them, the fleet headquarters did not provide any support, without intelligence it was difficult to accurately find the pirates.
The people who were still excited when they went to sea were no longer enthusiastic even after two days, they simply sailed the sea repeatedly, went to reconnoiter the situation when they passed the islands, and remained on the warship the rest of the time.
In fact, like John, and the others, most of whom came from the four seas, did not really understand the condition of the Grant Line.
In terms of area, the first half of the Grant Line was not as big as the Four Seas, and since the legend of the Great Secret Treasure of the Pirate King was not yet known, not all pirates of the Four Seas wanted to go on the Great Journey.
Thanks to the restraining influence of the fleet headquarters on the Grant Line, the first half of the Grant Line was still under the control of the fleet, although there were many pirates there, and there were only two days of travel, and most of the time they wandered the endless ocean, it was quite normal that they did not We didn't meet a single pirate.
It was only natural that John was in a different mood, since they all wanted to win over the other group, and it was inevitable that they would be worried.
There were still no battles for the next three days, and such a serene sea voyage would have been unbearable for ordinary people, but John and the soldiers got used to it, that even though they were a little alarmed, they got used to it.
John wasn't worried at all, and every day other than helping Peberton in the kitchen, he just hid in his room to study his fruit abilities.
The rest were very concerned about the test results, but he didn't care, they were elite class students, at worst they would be assigned to the Grand Voyage Naval Branch in the future, with his ability, as long as he was given enough time, it was only a matter of time, when he left his mark, there was no rush.
The cook, Peberton, had the same mentality as him, and was even more open than he was. During the few days that John was with him, he did not see him train, but every day he either cooked or rested and slept.
Peberton said that after a full day of training at Naval Headquarters, he rarely got a day off, so naturally he should have enjoyed it.
"There is a fight ahead, possibly pirates."
Mills, the navigator of the warship, suddenly screamed, causing everyone who was minding their own business to rush to the deck of the warship almost as fast as they could.
Sakazuki was the fastest, but he took his time and waited for everyone to come before speaking and asking questions.
Mills, what do you see?
Mills immediately lowered his binoculars and replied: "Two ships are seen ahead, there is a fight, most likely, pirates are robbing the ship."
"Forward".
Hearing that they were most likely pirates, all the members of the elite class were overjoyed: after several days of waiting, they finally encountered the pirates, and each of them was itching to kill them right now.
"A total of eighty-three presences, no, now there are eighty-two of them, it is obvious that they are really participating in the battle. And people keep dying, it's hard to tell if they're pirates or not."
John suddenly spoke, and everyone around him looked at him at once.
"What are you talking about?" Vitesse asked John.
John said, "I told you how many people are there."
"Are you kidding, from this distance you can tell how many people are on the other side?"
Vitesse was full of disbelief, like most of the others. Was John able to find out how many people were there without doing anything, were his eyes better than binoculars?
It was Sakazuki, unlike the others, who simply asked, "Are you sure, John?"
John said, "You must know what I am capable of, if others cannot do something, it does not mean that I cannot do it, and in this respect you must not doubt me."
Sakazuki nodded, he often interacted with John, naturally, he knew that John had a keen sense of perception, also known as the will of observation, he just never saw John use it, how strong John's will, he did not know.
"Speed forward, everyone prepare for battle."
The warship immediately picked up speed and very quickly rushed to this place.
"Breathing stabilized, only fifty-three breaths left, the battle must end."
As if John was acting like a radar, talking to Sakazuki about what he felt, he was sure of his will to observe, there was absolutely no way he could be wrong.
Not to mention, this distance was not the limit of his perception.
As for his will of observation, John sought Zephyr's advice and was aware of the special nature of his own will; true, his will didn't possess other stronger special abilities, but it was far more powerful than the range of perception of an ordinary person's will.
Even a fleet admiral like Zephyr could not match him when it came to the range of his will of observation, and Zephyr even told him that his range of perception of the will of observation like this is definitely the only one in the world, or at least he never encountered it.
It was because of Zephyr's words that John was sure that the advantage of his own Surveillance Will was its range, which was countless times more powerful than that of an ordinary person's Awakened Surveillance Will.
