The Naval Academy of the Navy Headquarters is the most important artery of the navy. The person who is the chief instructor of the Naval Academy right now is an former admiral the black-armed Zefa.
During the years of his teaching, he successfully trained a series of excellent naval officers and soldiers such as Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan.
In the office, Zefa ,who is making a practice plan for the students tomorrow,is being welcomed by none other than troublemaker,
Garp!
He didn't even knock on the door, and directly stormed inside along with red-haired kid.
"Hahahaha!"
"Zefa,teach this kid first!"
"The Roger Pirates have entered the new world. So,I don't have time to take care of him right now. I'll leave this guy to you."
"Here, this is the famous tea that I brought back from the east blue. Quickly! take out the rice crackers and try with tea together!"
"How can there be such things....I am not like you who is messing around...I hardly have time to enjoy!"Zefa put down his pen before he folded his hands in front of his chest.Then,he said with a smile at the always straight forward garp, while his eyes are falling on the red-haired boy.
"Go make some tea"
Garp casually handed the tea to Yoriichi.He then take out a pack of rice-cracker, grabbing a handful and throwing them into his voracious mouth.
After being knocked out by Garp on that day, he was taken on board by garp. Under the investigation of Garp's officers and soldiers,Yoriichi 's cave was naturally discovered. Combining the environment of the cave and Yoriichi 's dress, Garp naturally imagined his difficult experience.
As for other doubts where the sword techniques he used and the well-made sword, Garp ignored them. There are too many people with family heritage in the endless sea as well as outstanding talents.
Garp has long been familiar with it. Of course, the most important thing is the fact that Yoriichi alone slaughtered the entire pirate group with a total bounty of 10 million Berry.
the East blue, which is under the control of the navy,is not currently under the age of great pirate where even a no name can get a bounty of several million.
Despite there are a lot of pirates with the same bounty,The fact that the person who eradicated them is a child who is only at the age of 13 year old child.
That day, Garp was deeply impressed by the gorgeous sword skills that he displayed while charging among the pirates with bravery as if like he is the death reapers itself.
Moreover, this talented young man does not reject joining the navy.And Yoriichi didn't seemed to care that garp knocked him unconscious at that time. Compared with the benefits that Garp could bring him, being
beaten is a trivial matter.
The tea was thrown into his hands as he glanced at garp speechlessly.For the sake of Garp's plan to introduce him to the navy, he forgot the punch he received from the other party in the morning.
In these days of getting along, Yoriichi and Garp have become somewhat familiar with each other ,naturally he didn't not refuse such a simple request.
"There's boiling water over there."
Seeing Yoriichi looking at him, Zefa smiled in return as he pointed. Zefa looked him up and down carefully, and then asked Garp.
"Is this child you brought from the East blue?"
The incident at the Island in the East blue was not consider small.After all, a branch was completely wiped out. Although the navy blocked the news, the impact of this incident still quite large,not by physical damage but from a mental.if the navy ignored the disrespect that they have received,other pirates would follow suit and undoubtedly make a laughing stock in the public.
Although the bounty offered for that pirates group was only 10 million,it still quite troublesome for the navy who are stationed in east blue to deal with them.The possibility of them being eliminated is still possible.
That why they have decided to sent one of them from the headquarters who are also free of time and strong.Due to garp's loose mouth,some of his friends and a few dozen people knew that Yoriichi is the one who destroyed them.
As an friend of garp,an idea of zefa knowing about that doesn't seen to strange.
"Come on, boy, say hello to your future teacher,Zefa"
Garp beckoned at Yoriichi who had already made tea for both of them, and walked up with the tea on the tray.
As he put tea on both sides of the desk, he stood up straight towards Zefa and introduced himself:
"Hello, Mr. Zefa, my name is Yoriichi Tsugikuni, please give me your advice."
At this time, Yoriichi is wearing a uniform of an ordinary sailor, with a long knife hanging around his waist, coupled with a flame pattern on his handsome face.
Zefa looked at the child while he put one hand on the teacup, and tapped the table lightly with the other, as if like he is thinking about something seriously.
Seeing Zefa's appearance, garp raised his eyebrows and shouted at Yoriichi.
"Hey boy,louder!"
"You still want to lead a warship in such a low voice?!"
"Hi Teacher Zefa, my name is Yoriichi Tsugikuni." After a recovery, he repeat with a clearer voice as well as determination, unlike before.Only by then, Zefa seemed to have made a decision, nodding slightly and taking a sip of tea at the same time.
"Hey!"
"Zefa, I will leave this kid to you."
"Hey, boy, when I come back, I better see you stronger!"
"Train hard and don't let me down!"
"Zefa, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
"Here, take that bag of tea and rice crackers as my thank you."
After Garp finished speaking, he threw the half-empty rice-cracker pack as well as two finger size tea leaves bag on the desk before he left the office.
" "
Zefa looked at the already eaten half pack of rice-cracker on the table and the small bag of tea leaves on the tea stand , making veins on his forehead to become visible.
After a short moment of sighing in surrender looks, Zefa turned his head to look at Yoriichi and said with the softened face on his face.
"From today onwards, you are my student."
"It is also from today that you officially join the navy. "
"I don't care what you did before, or what kind of experience you have had. Now that you have joined the navy, you have to obey the rules "
"We will make you excellent navy!"
Hearing Zefa's words, he showed a little or none of surprise on his face because he learned from the conversation between Zefa and Garp just now that Zefa knew both his ability and his life.
"how old are you?"even though he knew,he still wanted to hear from his mouth.
Zefa looked at Yoriichi and asked. Looking at the immature face, Zefa was in a daze at this moment.Even he is not that strong when he was in that age.Truly,new generation always surpassed the old ones.
"Probably 13."
For some reason, even Yoriichi himself don't quite sure about it.Zefa thought to himself that he must have been living that kind of life from the day he gained consciousness.No wonder,he is in doubt.
"Ah."
Zefa looked at his face, nodded, and continued: "You are still too young to be a member of the Naval Academy for the time being."
"The trainees there are all elites drawn from all over the world."
"Our navy has no possibility of sending a child of your age to the battlefield."
During these few days ,he was able to roughly judge the strength of some naval officers through his observation into the world.
Without having haki and devil fruit abilities, he knew he was much stronger than navy "elites". But according to Zefa,it seemed that entering is impossible now.
The reason is that he is young? !
"Don't make such a face."
"No matter how strong you are, you are still just a child."
"Before you become an adult that is eligible enough to study in the academy, just stay by my side, and I will train you myself."
"From today, you are my disciple, Yoriichi!"
