Chapter 40: Meeting Spandine Again

Gion frowned and was about to slap away Jessica's hand that was pulling her collar when Jiger's voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

"What are you doing?"

Noticing Jiger behind him, Gion stopped raising his hand and even turned around. The opening at his collar became wider, revealing a little pink underwear.

However, Jiger ignored this exciting view. He passed Gion and came to Ginny, patted the pink hair on her head, and asked,

"Hey, silly girl, what happened?"

Ginny was startled and turned her head away quickly, saying in a muffled voice,

"No, it's nothing!"

"Then why are you looking down? Have you finished today's training? Have you learned to be lazy?"

"I'm not being lazy! I'm going to train now!"

Ginny jumped a few times frantically, then suddenly calmed down and asked tentatively,

"Brother Jiger, do you like high heels too?"

"High heels? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Oh, forget it, just tell me whether you like it or not!"

"Well.....ok, you want to wear high heels? I'll give you a pair, but I think you should be more suitable for wearing boots."

"Do you like me wearing boots, Jig? Yeah, good! I got it!"

Jiger folded his arms and said to himself,

"Actually, these two types of shoes affect my movements. During normal training, I don't..."

However, Ginny didn't listen to what Jig said next. She made a face at Gion behind Jig, then turned around with Jessica and ran away, leaving Jig feeling a little confused.

Gion wanted to say a few words to Jiger, but Jiger didn't even think of turning back, and disappeared on the spot in a flash.

After such a short while, Gion became a lonely person again. She straightened her messy collar, looked at the deep ravine and murmured to herself,

"What an impolite man! I don't believe you can keep ignoring me like this!"

She looked at Ginny who had already started training in the distance, her eyes gradually narrowed.

"As long as I get along well with that Ginny..."

evening,

After washing up, Jiger returned to the dormitory. Akainu and Kuma went to take a shower. Only Kizaru, who had crawled into bed, was left in the dormitory.

He rested his head on one hand and held a banana in the other, savoring it in small bites as if he were eating some delicious food.

He brought the banana back from the cafeteria after dinner, specifically to have as a bedtime dessert.

Seeing Jig coming back, he took out another one from under his pillow, threw it to Jig generously, and said,

"Jig, have a banana. I got a lot from the cafeteria."

Jiger took it, put the banana next to the pillow, and said with a smile,

"Forget it, I just brushed my teeth, I'll save it for tomorrow morning."

Kizaru nodded. He was not as particular as Jiger. He didn’t brush his teeth at night!

There were no mobile phones in the pirate world. After making his bed a little, Jiger prepared to go to bed. But before he lay down, the Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly started to ring.

This Den Den Mushi has only been put up for a few days, and only Jiger and his roommates have it in their dormitory.

Because the strength of the four of them has reached the level of generals, Zefa no longer regards them as ordinary students.

If there are some temporary tasks, Zefa will contact them through this Den Den Mushi and select a few people to go out to sea with him.

If Akainu was there, given his personality he would definitely be the first one to answer it, but he was not there.

Jiger glanced at Kizaru who was on the upper bunk opposite him. Kizaru had no intention of moving at all. He just stared at the ceiling and muttered,

"Why is the old man calling at this late hour? Jiger, go answer it. I'm a little bloated from the banana I just ate."

Jiger shrugged helplessly, walked to the table and pressed the connect button on the Den Den Mushi shell. The purple-haired Den Den Mushi began to imitate Zephyr's speech vividly.

"Is this Jiger? There are people from the World Government looking for you at the door. Please go over."

Hearing this, Kizaru on the bed sat up suddenly and pricked up his ears to listen.

Zefa continued,

"Don't be nervous. That man's name is Spandine. I heard from Babs that you two had contact in Solbe Country before. I won't ask any more about your personal affairs. You should go meet him first."

Jiger nodded and said,

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After hanging up the phone, Jiger put on a coat and prepared to go out, but Kizaru suddenly stopped him and said,

"Jig, if you don't come back tonight, let us know. Tell me what's the matter."

Jiger was slightly startled, and when he turned around, he saw Kizaru's concerned gaze.

Feeling warm in his heart, Jiger said softly,

"It's okay. Didn't you hear what Mr. Zefa said? I know that person. Maybe my family asked him to pass on a message to me."

Ziger's words made it clear to Kizaru that his family background was related to the World Government. After hearing this, Kizaru said no more, nodded, and slowly lay down.

When they arrived at the gate of the Naval Academy, the guard at the gate saw that it was Jiger and opened the door directly, letting Jiger go out.

As soon as Jiger walked out of the door, Spandine walked out from the shadows like a thief. He walked in front of Jiger with a hunched back, and the smile on his face was as flattering as ever.

"Master Jiger, I'm really sorry to bother you to come out in person. I'm afraid that if I go in, I might let it slip in front of outsiders and expose your noble identity..."

Jiger waved his hand and said,

"Okay, you did a great job. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"It's like this. Lord Garin called me today and asked me to take you to Mary Joa."

"Uncle Jialin is looking for me? What did he say?"

"No, Lord Jialin just said he wanted to see you."

Spandine rubbed his hands, looked at Jiger ingratiatingly, and continued,

"Don't worry, Master Jiger. What I told the public is that the World Government is very interested in you and wants to inspect you. After all, your outstanding performance here is obvious to all."

At this point, Spandine looked at Jiger with awe, and thought to himself,

As expected of the Figarando family, this class of students is personally instructed by former Navy Admiral Zephyr, and the quality of the students is absolutely top-notch.

Jiger actually managed to stand out among this group of people. What a great talent he must have!

Spandine had come into contact with quite a few Celestial Dragons. To be honest, those people were not as strong as he, a weakling in combat. It was only once that he encountered a Celestial Dragon like Ziger.

He increasingly felt that Jiger was a potential stock with great potential, and became more and more devoted to Jiger.

Even someone like him has a dream, and his dream is: to become Giger's number one lackey!
