Chapter 246 Heroic
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Robin was now doubting the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him.
"Hey! Are you the Pirate Empress? Why do you feel more beautiful than the Pirate Empress?"
Listening to the booing noises of the crowd, Robin took a closer look at her attire.
A high-cut, belly-revealing top and brown patterned shorts are coquettish and alluring, sexy but not greasy.
There was no black knife on his waist as Robin expected, nor was there the violent look of someone who expected that.
With just one glance, the other person had wrapped his body and head with the cloak again and was surrounded by a large number of wealthy people in the Albana Plaza.
"I was just a kid who didn't understand anything at the beginning, and most of the time I didn't understand your profound words." Robin thought: "Now I am left with endless regret..."
She returned to her normal self, glanced at the person who was surrounded, turned around and left silently.
In broad daylight, the man turned into a shadow and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
There was a commotion among the crowd—!
Everyone in the square was instinctively startled, and each thought they were hallucinating in the desert city.
For Arthur, who changed Robin's timeline and history and then abandoned her, it was simply her whole life.
However, she didn't get the person she had in mind, and she sneaked into the crowd disappointed and lonely, and soon disappeared among them.
……
Shinsekai, Naval Base G-13.
Late at night, heavy rain poured down and the sea was surging.
In Gion Momotsuki's office, Yana was lying in Gion's arms, her face pressed against her belly, sleeping soundly with a happy look on her face.
"Why did your genes give birth to such an innocent and pure-hearted daughter?"
"This mark hasn't shone for twenty years. What did you lose after that day?"
She stroked Yana's head with one hand while looking at the back of her palm where the ice dragon mark was engraved on the table.
……
In the New World, on a stormy sea, a government ship loaded with supplies is heading towards its destination, Red Harbor.
The navigator looked at the sea, which was rolling like a dragon, and said anxiously:
"The wind is too strong, the sail will be blown apart!"
"There's something approaching very quickly ahead, so fast... it's about to hit us——!"
Boom! A beam of sword light instantly penetrated through the center of the ship.
The World Government ship was split in two by the storm and began to slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.
"This is a slash...! Report it to the Holy Land of Marijoa!"
"The communication electronic equipment in the cabin is broken, quickly take out the spare Den Den Mushi!"
"Report! We were attacked by unknown forces! We were attacked by unknown..."
In an instant, a figure swept across the deck and cut the Den Den Mushi in the soldier's hand that was delivering the message into two halves.
"Really."
The man stood on the deck, holding rapiers in both hands. There was a tattoo on the back of his old, wrinkled right hand.
Unlike the mark that had sunk into the flesh on Gion's hand, it looked more like it had been tattooed with tattoo paint.
He glanced at the World Government soldiers on the deck with a scary, old smile.
"It's getting more and more interesting to ask me to attack the government supply ship at this time."
"You are! The Lone Red Redfield! You are still alive...Ah——!"
The heart-wrenching screams continued for a moment, and all the surviving CP spies and soldiers on the ship died.
None were spared.
……
The red earth continent, the holy land of Mary Gioia.
Pangu City’s meeting hall.
The Five Elder Stars are discussing the supply ship that has lost contact on the Grand Line in recent days.
"Was the supply ship bound for Red Harbor hijacked or sunk?"
"There are CP spies watching over there. Who is so bold?"
"This is not good. Once the holy land runs short of supplies, a large number of hungry celestial dragons will appear."
"Let the navy send an admiral to re-escort the supplies. While ensuring the safety of the supplies, also investigate this incident."
Faced with the impending depletion of food, the Five Elders believed it necessary to take this attack seriously.
The position of the God of Finance, who was temporarily replaced by Im's servant, is now taken over by the elderly Fegaland Galin, filling the vacancy among the Five Elder Stars.
Steel Bone Sora, who survived in Rogue Town, was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the World Government's Armed Forces after resigning as the Navy Admiral, and silently took care of the development of the Navy.
……
Malinfando, Navy Headquarters.
In the Navy recruit classroom, many young recruits gathered here to listen to the lectures.
Since they are all carefully selected elite recruits, there are several instructors in the classroom.
Among them was a navy admiral, and Aokiji also came with Garp to check it out.
"Listen to me, little devils!" Karp pointed at the blackboard behind him with a pointer:
"First lesson! An old man and a baby are left on an island full of wild animals. You rush to rescue them alone, but this boat can only hold two people. What are you going to do?"
Faced with this question, Coby, who had just been recruited into the navy by Garp in class, brightened up.
He immediately thought of the answer to his own idea, stood up before anyone else, and answered confidently:
"I know, Vice Admiral Garp. I will get off the boat myself and let the old man and the baby take the boat, so that both of them can be saved."
Hearing this answer, Garp responded with a look of disappointment:
"Idiot, that's the wrong answer. Listen carefully, the correct answer is... this old man is too old to live much longer... just abandon him!"
The justice-minded recruits were shocked, feeling that Garp's teachings were different from the selfless justice in their hearts.
A blonde female instructor heard this idea being conveyed to the recruits and hurried out to stop him:
"Wait a minute, Vice Admiral Garp! Please stop lecturing like that. All lives are equal!"
"Can an old man drive a boat and take a baby to escape the harsh environment on the sea?" At this time, the last row of the classroom.
Just a few days after joining the navy, Yaluo, who performed outstandingly, has been transferred from the Sabaody Islands to the headquarters' elite training class.
He sat in his seat and expressed his views, and all the recruits who were shocked by Garp's ideas looked at him.
"Well...you are..." Aokiji held the back of his head and looked at Yaluo: "The guy that Sakaski introduced?"
"Also, are all lives really equal? Take the example of the Chabady Archipelago. When the rich bought slaves at the slave auction, the self-esteem of one life was trampled under the feet of another life. Where was the equality?"
"Shh... stop talking, Yaluo." Skylark reminded him beside his desk:
"Most of the people here are naval officers and the sons of wealthy people."
Such a mature answer surprised Aokiji, Garp, and the female instructor.
Karp found it even more interesting and asked Yaluo:
"Kid, what's your name?"
Yaluo stood up, stepped onto the desk, opened his arms and said his name to him with great pride:
"My name is Ya Luo, and my dream is to end this great pirate era!"
The recruit looked at him with his eyes bulging out in shock.
The prefix beginning with "Ya" made Garp and Aokiji tremble in their hearts.
Aokiji, who possesses the Ice Fruit, has scars from slashes and frostbite all over his body.
I couldn't help but think back to that terrifying existence from more than 20 years ago.
"You look so alike. Who is your father?" Cap came to the last row of the classroom and looked at Yaluo with a smile on his face.
"Huh? Father? I've never seen him before. I also want to know who he is. It's just the right time to beat him up so hard that he can't find his way home!" Yaluo said in surprise.
It really made him feel uncomfortable that a navy officer had to ask about family background in pursuit of justice.
Yunque stared at Yaluo with her hands covering her mouth like a little fan girl, feeling very excited.
He was so ambitious and righteous that she couldn't find anyone else as handsome as him.
Most importantly, he saved her life.
Kuzan and Garp looked at each other, and the female instructor beside them didn't know what was going on.
"get out of class is over. You, Kobe, and Bellumebo will train with me from now on."
"Huh?! I follow you? Vice Admiral Garp?" Yalu was stunned.
He looked at Admiral Aokiji, who was holding his head with his hands on his head, in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
"Well... I hope it's not fate..." Aokiji stared at Yaluo helplessly.
The navy has now undergone reforms in various aspects, and educational ideas are gradually moving away from government jurisdiction.
Thoughts are gradually being corrected, but they cannot resist the fact that the government holds the lifeline in its hands.
Many orders cannot be disobeyed.
After class, Garp took Coby, Bellemere, and Arlo to his officer's residence for individual training.
"We cannot be completely sure of the authenticity of the identity at this moment. We need to wait and observe for a while, Kuzan."
"Well... I don't know what that guy Sakaski is thinking. So let it be. Times are no longer the same as they were 20 years ago."
"Hide Yaluo's information for now. His blood type is exactly the same. Don't let Zhan Guo see it."
"The Marshal is no longer the same as before, Mr. Garp." Aokiji said to Garp.
"That's not possible!"
Outside the mansion, Aokiji said goodbye to Garp and left Garp's headquarters residence.
When I returned to the high school compound, I saw Bellemer hiding behind Coby.
The two men confronted Yalo, who had a sturdy build and looked like a boxer.
"You're so hypocritical, your self-sacrifice and all that, it's hilarious," Yalo said to Coby.
Very dissatisfied with his answers in class.
All the young and motivated people are dead, how can the elderly and children survive on the sea?
"Kirby, what's wrong with this guy... He always exudes an inexplicable strong aura, and he seems so confident."
"As a marine, what's wrong with sacrificing my life? I'm just expressing my opinion!"
Coby responded to Yaluo with a serious face.
"Death is scary. Even people who are prepared find it difficult to face death. Do you know what sacrifice means?" Yaluo said again.
The 19-year-old him and the 16-year-old Kobe have completely different levels of concepts.
"Then how do you face that problem?" Coby said disdainfully.
I always feel that I can no longer be the timid and cowardly person I used to be.
But... it seems that compared with Yaluo in front of him, all the momentum and spirit are lost.
"I will stand before the old man and the baby and defeat all the beasts!"
"Stop talking! Start training hard!" Garp roared, interrupting the confrontation between the two.
I want to witness the talent of this guy named Yaluo.
