Chapter 268: Don’t Live Too Clearly

...

On the side, Enel, who was used to being beaten, smiled happily. Finally, someone came to keep him company! He couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Franky being scolded and beaten by Barrett.

"boom!"

As expected, Enel, who was in a trance, was also punched.

"Are you happy to see others being beaten while you are not?"

Barrett reprimanded harshly.

"Damn it! This damn bastard instructor! He didn't even give me any face in front of the newbies."

Enel muttered angrily.

It was Tezoro, who was older and more mature, who was able to follow the training seriously.

Originally, those who were assigned by Captain Gill to work for Barrett were all problem children with bad personalities.

Tezoro is not a problem child. It's just that Ger feels he has the potential, so he hopes he can grow up faster.

Therefore, whether it is Barrett's beating-style training that can make vitality become tenacious, or Akin's more formal and systematic combat training, or even Mosan's economics courses and Gel's fruit development guidance, he has to learn them all.

Like Akin, Captain Geer also has high hopes for Tesoro, who hopes that he can grow into a versatile person who is both talented in literature and martial arts in the future.

"Ahhh! Captain Gul~! Why do I have to accept Instructor Barrett's instruction? I also want to practice with Akin like Benshan and the others!"

Franky looked with envy at Bia, Stella, Iceberg and the three little animals who were practicing under the guidance of Ajin. The scene was harmonious and warm.

Although the amount of training seems to be quite high, the teaching process seems to be much more normal than what I have here.

"What do you think of my training, kid?"

"No problem, no problem! Instructor Barrett's training is excellent! Very suitable for a man like me!"

Under Barrett's iron fist warning, Franky said something insincere.

"Captain Gur, are you holding a grudge against me because I called you a liar before? I know I was wrong, and I've already apologized to you! You should be magnanimous and forgive me. If you really can't help it, can you let Benshan come here to train as well? That way I'll feel better."

"Hey! Franky! You bastard!"

Iceberg, who originally felt that Franky was a bit pitiful, almost said thank you when he heard this. Suddenly, he felt that he was too soft-hearted and this guy should be beaten harder.

"Uh hahaha."

Looking at the two energetic disciples, Tom laughed. He wiped the sweat with the towel around his neck, then picked up the hammer in his hand and the yokozuna who was carrying the wood to continue repairing the boat.

Gol walked forward, put his arm around Franky's shoulder and whispered to comfort him:

"Franky, you are so smart, can't you guess what the captain is trying to do? Can you see the difference between the training on both sides?"

"What's the difference, Captain? Aren't the naughty ones handed over to Instructor Barrett for a beating?"

Franky hit the nail on the head.

Gel thought to himself, kid, don’t you know that living too clearly will make you less happy?

Unexpectedly, Franky was so perceptive. Gel coughed awkwardly, then widened his eyes and pretended to be surprised, and continued to fool around:

"Of course not. Only those with a talent for fighting can accept Barrett's teachings!"

"Really, is that true, Captain? It's really not to get back at me for calling you a liar?"

Franky said doubtfully.

"boom!"

Gel slapped him on the back of the head and laughed:

"Captain, am I such a stingy person?"

In fact, Gel's words were not completely nonsense. Although they were cruel and true, the world was indeed never fair. Ordinary people like Bia, Funi, Mosan and Bingshan, if they simply took the path of physical training, no matter how much they trained, the heights they could reach would be limited.

If he didn't have the power of the devil fruit, reaching the level of Superman when CP9 first appeared might be the limit of his life.

Natural monsters like Moria, Weeble and Barrett, even if they do nothing and just eat and drink and grow up naturally, can possess power that ordinary people can't even dream of.

Having said that, we still have to practice, at least to have some ability to protect ourselves.

Moreover, people have many kinds of talents. In addition to fighting talents, people like Mosan and Iceberg have business acumen and management talents, and Franky also has a talent for mechanical inventions. Therefore, everyone focuses on different development directions, and each of them is a rare treasure of Captain Gill.

"That's true. Captain Gul has always been very generous. You're right. When it comes to fighting, Benshan really can't compare to me. Hahaha!"

Franky thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement with Captain Gul's words and began to train seriously.

...

"Captain, your blueprints have been backed up. I have made several copies and taken photos for record. They should be foolproof. What kind of blueprint is this? It looks like something extraordinary."

Funi came to Captain Gel, holding several thick blueprints and said.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Come and have a drink. This blueprint is an advanced weapon that does not belong to this era."

Gel took the drawing, took out a cup of lemon tea and handed it to Funi, saying casually.

"Oh, no wonder I couldn't even understand the words on it. Thank you, Captain. Can I have another drink?"

"Of course!"

Funi took the two drinks, put on her gardener's straw hat and went to the back garden on the stern deck, where she was busy planting flowers and vegetables with Cocoro.

"Captain Gul, if I remember correctly, the next stop is there, right?"

asked the old man in beachwear who was leisurely fishing nearby.

"Yeah, that's right, the next stop is there!"

The two of them started playing a silent game.

“Hahaha, I originally thought that after joining your adventuring group, I would have to risk my life at an old age, but I didn’t expect that I would actually come here to enjoy my retirement life in advance.”

Kurokas cast out the fishing rod and said with a smile.

"Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. When sailing on the sea, a small cold may be life-threatening. With you on board, we can have peace of mind when sailing."

Knowing that the old man was complaining that he had not played a significant role, Gel started to flatter him.

Kurokas stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.

Everyone on the ship is busy with their own things, and the two of them, one old and one young, are usually the most idle.
