Chapter 479 New disciples, new hopes! (Two in one)

The sun shines through the lush forest.

In the clearing in the forest, Ace and Sabo, one in front and one behind, hold a steel pipe and actually clamp a tiger in the middle, looking at the tiger in front of them with full concentration.

"Ace, it's on!"

Behind the tiger, Sabo tightened the steel pipe in his hand and suddenly reminded his partner not far away.

"Ah!"

Hearing this, Ace also tightened the steel pipe in his hand, nodded slightly, and responded.

After the two people finished speaking, only a few breaths later, the two children moved together and rushed towards the tiger in front of them almost at the same time.

The two started at the same time, but the speed of the rush was fast and slow. Sabo behind the tiger was faster, and rushed to the back of the tiger at a high speed, and directly swung the iron rod in his hand and hit the tiger's hind legs.

I don't know why Sabo chose to target the tiger's leg bones. A kid like him, facing a nearly three-meter-long tiger, even if the tiger stood there and didn't move, Sabo might not be able to break the opponent's defense with a steel pipe.

Moreover, the leg bones are almost one of the hardest parts of the tiger's body. Even if he held the steel pipe, it might not cause any damage to the tiger.

Sabo was very fast, and the steel pipe fell rapidly towards the tiger's legs. But just when Sabo's attack was about to hit the tiger, the tiger facing Ace seemed to have eyes on its back. It kicked its hind legs together, and with its front claws as the foundation, the whole tiger body quickly jumped up.

At the moment of avoiding Ace's attack, the whole tiger also completed the rollover action, and its bloody mouth was directly aimed at Sabo who was rushing and bit him.

"Ace!!!"

Sabo was like a lamb that had voluntarily sent itself into the tiger's mouth. Seeing that he was about to die in the tiger's mouth, Sabo suddenly held the steel pipe in his hand horizontally and shouted Ace's name.

A strong fishy wind rushed into his nose, and Sabo's heart was pounding, but his eyes did not blink, staring at the attacking tiger.

"Hah!!!"

A loud shout sounded in the forest, and Ace's figure suddenly appeared above the tiger, and the steel pipe in his hand hit the tiger's head hard.

Hit the "bull's eye".

"Bang!!"

A muffled sound came into Sabo's ears, and the tiger that was biting at Sabo with its bloody mouth opened involuntarily closed its mouth under Ace's blow, and its head that was raised suddenly sank and fell directly to the ground.

Ace was obviously just a child, but he had such an effect with one blow. In his thin body, there was a terrifying power that others could hardly imagine.

"Well done, Ace!"

Sabo escaped from the tiger's mouth and exclaimed excitedly. As he landed quickly, he twisted his body, held the steel pipe tightly in his hands, and swung the steel pipe hard on the tiger's cheek like playing baseball.

A huge force hit the tiger's head. The tiger, who had just been hit by Ace and had become drowsy, tilted his head and blood kept flowing out of the tiger's mouth.

Under the repeated heavy blows of Ace and Sabo, such a strong and sturdy tiger actually fell to the ground and fainted completely, unable to stand up again.

In just a short round of confrontation, Ace and Sabo, two little brats, actually relied on the steel pipes in their hands to hunt a tiger together.

"Bang!!"

The giant tiger fell down with a muffled sound.

Neither Ace nor Sabo relaxed their nerves. Instead, they carefully stepped back a few steps to prevent the tiger from suddenly waking up and counterattacking them.

If they were attacked by such a feline at such a close distance, they might not be able to react and dodge.

After retreating a few meters, Ace silently untied the long knife on his back and held it firmly in his hand:

"Sabo."

Ace called Sabo, holding the knife in one hand and slowly approaching the tiger. Hearing his partner's voice, Sabo also held the steel pipe tightly in front of his chest with both hands, walked around the tiger's head, and slowly approached. As he approached, his eyes were also fixed on the tiger's face. If the opponent showed any signs of waking up, he would hit it immediately.

Ace's speed was faster. After approaching the tiger, the long knife in his hand quickly chopped on the tiger's belly. The sharp blade instantly ripped the tiger's belly open, blood gushed out, and the strong smell of blood immediately spread.

After slashing a knife, Ace and Sabo also quickly retreated and met together.

Until now, the two people's faces really relaxed, and bright smiles appeared on their little faces.

"Such a big tiger can be eaten for two days."

"If the tiger skin and bones are sold, they should be worth hundreds of thousands of Baileys."

"If we catch more prey like this, in a few years, we can buy a big ship to go out to sea!"

Sabo grinned, and with his teeth leaking, he looked forward to the future with expectation.

As they grew older, Ace and Sabo's talents began to gradually show up. Not only did they eat more, but their strength also grew.

By chance, the two who had been living in the wild had also mastered the secret of partial life return, and could speed up the digestion of food by controlling the internal organs.

It is precisely because of the power of life return that such a tiger is only enough for two days of food for two people. And it is precisely because of the return of life that these two children can have such terrifying physical strength at such an age.

"It's a pity that there are still fewer valuable beasts in the mountains."

"I really want to go to sea soon!"

The biggest dream of Ace and Sabo is to have their own ship and go to sea. Through the newspaper of Morgans, Ace learned that the new navy is recruiting new soldiers from people all over the world.

He has been out for many years and really misses his mother. He wants to go back to visit his mother.

Of course, there is another important thing, which is to be called to join the new navy.

After mastering the return of life, Ace and Sabo's strength expanded very quickly, and ordinary adults could not compare with them at all.

The two people can easily fight the tiger with cooperation. Such strength and reaction are not comparable to ordinary people.

Ace is full of self-confidence in himself now. He feels that he is qualified to become a new navy.

Even though he is just a little kid who is less than 1.3 meters tall now.

The tiger in the pool of blood has completely lost its breath. Ace and Sabo chatted for a while, and then came to the tiger, cooperating with each other to peel the skin and cut the tiger meat.

Both of them are very strong, and they can do the heavy slaughtering process with ease.

Just when the two children were busy, Garp and Zefa, who had been watching in the forest for a long time, finally stopped hiding and came out of the dense forest.

"Swish--"

The branches and leaves swayed lightly, making a series of light noises.

Sabo and Ace, who were dissecting tiger meat, felt their skin and flesh tighten when they heard the noise behind them. Ace quickly stood up with a long knife in his hand, and pressed his back tightly against the tiger's body, looking behind him.

Sabo and Ace's movements were almost identical. They immediately threw away the tiger meat in their hands, picked up the steel pipe, and pressed their backs against the tiger's back side by side with Ace.

They have lived in the wild for quite a long time, and have accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge.

The bloody smell of the tiger's body would attract other predators, so the two rarely spoke when dissecting the tiger's meat, and their spirits were always in a state of high tension.

When the strange noise came from behind, the two immediately made a defensive reaction.

The back would be pressed against the tiger's back to avoid being attacked from the front and back by predators as much as possible.

"Hmm?"

"You are very alert, and your reaction is very good! "

Garp and Zephyr walked out of the forest. When Garp saw the defensive actions of Ace and Sabo, he smiled and praised them.

Beside him, Zephyr looked at Ace and Sabo with curiosity. His sight stayed on the knife in Ace's hand for a long time.

If he was not mistaken, the knife in Ace's hand should be the sword of Pirate King Roger!

Although he had never faced Pirate King Roger head-on in his "career", Zephyr knew Roger's level very well. He not only knew his life, but also knew everything about Roger.

This is the most basic thing for a professional soldier. If a high-ranking naval officer did not know the biggest enemy of the navy at that time, it would be too funny.

Hearing the familiar voice and seeing Garp and Zephyr walking out of the forest, Ace and Sabo, who were tense, not only did not relax, but their bodies became even tighter.

"Old man?!"

"Why are you back! ? "

Ace and Sabo both let out a low cry, and looked at Garp with eyes that were more serious and nervous than when they looked at the tiger just now.

And in fact, it was true.

In the eyes of these two children, Garp was more terrifying than the man-eating tiger.

"What are you talking about?"

"Ace, from your tone, you seem to be very unhappy to see me back? !"

"If you do this, I, your grandpa, will be sad! "

Garp came to Ace quickly, put one hand on Ace's head, rubbed it hard, and said with a smile.

"Tsk——"

Ace accepted Garp's "grandfather" title by default, and did not refute it. However, facing Garp's "caress", Ace showed resistance, stretched out his hand to push Garp's big hand away, and at the same time, his eyes swept to Zephyr who appeared with Garp, and bowed politely.

Although Ace did not know Zephyr, he knew that the other party would appear with Garp, and he should be Garp's colleague. When facing elders, Ace knew the way of "the more courtesy, the less blame".

He was educated by Lu Jiu since he was a child, and developed a more Better "habits".

Sabo was completely relaxed at this time. While Garp and Ace were chatting, the boy sat down on the ground with the steel pipe in his hand leaning to the side.

Zefa kept scanning Ace and Sabo with a critical look. When he heard Garp call Ace's name, his pupils shrank slightly, and when he saw Ace greeted him respectfully, his eyes also showed a strong surprise.

He couldn't believe that a guy like Garp could teach such a polite child.

Just the first meeting, Zefa had some doubts about Ace's life experience.

"Something is wrong"

"That knife is definitely the sword of Roger, the Pirate King. It seems to be called Ace!!"

"This child is also called Ace, and is he Garp's grandson?"

"Impossible."

"Garp should not have such a big grandson. Long should only have one son, and I just saw him in Haifengche Town!"

"But."

"Roger's child"

Zeff's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he recalled the things about Roger, the Pirate King, in his mind. Zephyr has never been a person who believes in coincidences. If it is a coincidence that Ace's name coincides with the name of Roger's sword, then how can Roger's knife be in Ace's hand? !

Once may be a coincidence, is it also a coincidence twice?

There are so many coincidences in this world? !

While searching his memory, Zephyr remembered that he had heard about Roger's posthumous child before, and it seemed that it was exposed by the small fish on his ship.

While recalling these relevant news, the figure of Tsugikoku Yoriichi appeared in Zephyr's mind.

The posthumous child of the Pirate King; Roger's sword Ace; a child named Ace; a natural ability user selected by Yoriichi.

When Zephyr connected these things together, the truth was about to come out.

"Could it be." Zephyr guessed Ace's identity, but he did not mean to ask Garp the truth. Zephyr just looked at Ace deeply for a few times and buried the matter in his heart.

After Garp had a cordial "communication" with Ace and Sabo for a while, he finally formally introduced Zephyr to the two children:

"You two, come."

"This guy is called Zephyr, and he is the chief instructor of the Navy Headquarters."

"His duty in the Navy is to help the Navy train new recruits."

"This time, he came to see you."

"Just now, we all saw the scene of you two working together to hunt the tiger. You did a great job."

"Although it can't be compared with when I was a child, it is already outstanding."

Garp led the two children to Zephyr and introduced Zephyr to them.

Hearing that Zephyr was the chief instructor of the navy, Ace and Sabo only bowed politely. The two children were not very interested in Zephyr.

These two children have had their own desires and goals since they were young.

Although Garp has been instilling in them that they should become "excellent navy", in fact, neither of them wants to follow the same path as Garp.

Garp obviously noticed that Ace and Sabo were not in high spirits, but he was not angry. He continued with a smile:

"Zeffer, these two are the ones he chose."

"This one is called Ace, and this one is called Sabo."

"Ace is from the South China Sea, and Sabo is a native of the Kingdom of Goa."

"You just saw that the potential of these two boys is not to be underestimated."

"What do you think? Do you want to change the environment for their training?"

Garp's words were meaningful.

Zephyr understood what Garp meant, looked at Ace and Sabo, nodded, and confirmed: "It is indeed possible to start some systematic training."

"For them, that will be more beneficial."

"After taking them back to the Navy Headquarters, I will teach them personally."

Hearing this, Ace and Sabo looked at each other and showed strong resistance. Sabo frowned, shook his head, and refused: "Old man, I don't want to go to the Navy Headquarters!"

Sabo also hurriedly joined in: "Me too, I don't want to leave the Kingdom of Goa, I think life here is pretty good."

Ace and Sabo have their own plans. They secretly set up their own small treasury, just to buy a big ship to go to sea one day.

How to go to sea after going to the Navy Headquarters? !

Seeing Ace and Sabo refusing frantically, Garp didn't care, just put his hands behind his back and said with a smile:

"Tsugikoku Yoriichi is Zephyr's disciple."

Just one sentence made Ace and Sabo look stunned and quiet down.

When Zefa heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head: "I can't teach a disciple like that."
