Chapter 487 Stowaways on the warship! (Two in one)

The group of Vergo that Tsugakuin sent to Fishman Island was also successfully sent out by the bear. Tsugakuin certainly didn't trust Vergo, and that's why he placed other people in Vergo's team.

As for the identities of Smoker and Peacock, Tsugakuin only knew the details of Smoker. Peacock is the granddaughter of Crane, and has always been well protected by Crane. Tsugakuin had never heard of her when he was in the Navy Headquarters.

Although he didn't know her identity, Yunichi knew that the three people came to Wan Guo together that year, and Peacock's identity and background were probably not as simple as he had investigated.

Letting Smoker, Peacock and Vergo go on a mission together was also to let these two people contain Vergo. Although these people are spies of Marinford in many aspects, Smoker and the others don't know that Vergo was once a pirate!

In front of Smoker and Peacock, Vergo would not and dare not show his feet.

As for Aramaki.

In fact, among the new recruits of their class, the person that Yoriichi is most optimistic about is Aramaki who ate the Sen-Sen fruit.

Although this kid's worldview is not "rigid" in Yoriichi's eyes due to the influence of his growing environment, Aramaki is very malleable. He has a heartfelt admiration for the new navy and Yoriichi Tsugakuin.

This admiration comes from the most primitive "power worship" of human beings, simple and pure.

And it is this pure power worship that makes Aramaki truly trust Yoriichi Tsugakuin.

Aramaki is a natural ability user. After entering the new navy, Yoriichi also deliberately strengthened his physical training. His combat power is very strong. Sending him and Vergo and others to Fishman Island is also to prevent some accidents.

For some reason, Fishman Island seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog in recent years.

Yuriichi Tsugakuin can clearly feel that there seems to be an inexplicable gap in the communication between Wan Guo and Fishman Island.

Although the communication between Yixiao and Jinbei has always been smooth, and even the communication between Wan Guo and Ryugu Castle is as usual. However, Tsukuni Yoriichi always has a premonition that something is going to happen. Some things that happened in Fishman Island in recent years are also beyond the control of the new navy.

The disappearance of the people is actually just one of them. What Yoriichi is most concerned about is actually the recruitment of new members of the Fishman Island Navy Branch, which has been greatly reduced compared with previous years.

Fishman Island is brewing a storm that Tsukuni Yoriichi doesn't know.

When his strength reaches this level, he will have a premonition of some things that have not happened. Although the source of these premonitions is really unclear, Tsukuni Yoriichi will still pay attention to his premonition.

Just as the new navy is taking action "against the Red Hair Pirates", Marinford, far away in the Grand Line, is also busy at this time.

At the end of last year, the renovation of the Marinford Navy Headquarters, which had experienced war, was finally completed after nearly two years of hard work.

All functions of the Navy Headquarters have been restored, and the Naval School led by Zefa also completed the enrollment work at the end of the year.

At the beginning of the year, the recruit training plan that Zefa had planned for nearly two months was finally placed on the table of Zhan Guo, and after Zefa's argument, it was successfully passed.

This year's recruit training plan is a little different from previous years. Zefa put the location of the sea training in the New World!

This is a somewhat radical plan, because in the past, the Naval Academy's sea training is generally in the Grand Line, and the New World will not be chosen.

The sea environment in the first half and the second half of the Grand Line is basically two levels.

Although the voyage is guided by the permanent record pointer, the climate environment in the New World will change suddenly during that period. If there is no powerful navigator on the ship to guide, there is no need for the enemy to appear, and nature will let the navy see the "different world".

In principle, Zhan Guo should not agree to such a plan, but after Zefa's persuasion, he had to sign it.

There is a reason why Zefa would do this.

Although the Naval School of the Navy Headquarters has the name of "school" here, you should know that this "school" itself recruits young elite navy officers from the four seas and various naval branches of the Grand Line.

Most of the students in this school are not fledglings.

Zefa felt that the conditions in the first half of the Grand Line were not strict enough, and it was difficult to have any training effect on these elites.

It was precisely for this reason that he decided to lead the fleet to the New World.

In this trip, in addition to the students of the Naval School, Zefa also specially found a group of navigators and helmsmen with rich experience in sailing in the New World. These people will be the instructors who assist him in this sea training.

If the training goes well, such sea training will become a routine for the new navy in the future.

At dawn, the port terminal of Marinford was busy. The training ship ready to sail had been prepared long ago, and the sergeants were carrying supplies to the ship.

Food, fresh water, guns and ammunition, etc., all kinds of supplies were transported to the ship one by one.

On the deck, Zefa held the railing with both hands, looking out at the sea in the distance, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He had been a marine for almost half his life.

After the sergeant who was carrying the goods delivered the supplies to the warehouse, he carefully counted them and then slowly closed the door. The entire warehouse suddenly became dark.

"Dong——"

In the dark warehouse, a clear sound suddenly broke the silence.

"Shu——" After a light sound, a cluster of fire actually ignited from a corner of the warehouse.

In the corner of the warehouse, the lid of a large wooden box was inexplicably lifted for some reason, and a small hand stretched out from it. A cluster of flames ignited on the tip of the index finger of this small hand, illuminating a corner of the warehouse.

In the wooden box, a pair of bright eyes blinked, looked around, and after confirming the environment of the warehouse, a black-haired boy lifted the lid of the wooden box, poked his head out, and a bright smile appeared on his face. He whispered to the box:

"No one is here, hehe, we are here, we succeeded!!!"

As soon as the voice fell, two little heads poked out of the wooden box.

"Ace, you really have a plan!"

"Grandpa Zefa went out to sea without us, but we are still here, aren't we? Hahaha!"

Sabo poked his head out of the wooden box, looked around, patted Ace beside him excitedly, and smiled softly.

Beside the two of them, Luffy, who was obviously a little shorter, did not show any excitement at all. He just pulled the corners of Ace and Sabo's clothes and asked softly:

"Hey, Ace, Sabo, I'm hungry, let's eat."

Well. Although it is exciting to sneak on the ship against the will of adults, for Luffy, nothing is more important than having a full stomach.

"Of course! When the ship goes out to sea, we will not be sent back even if we are discovered halfway!"

"I'm so suffocated staying in Marinford every day!"

Ace's fingertips were burning with flames, and under the reflection of the fire, his little face showed a complacent smile.

Ace and Sabo are now only in their early teens, but the angularity of their faces is a little more distinct than they were two years ago. They are both over 1.5 meters tall and look like little adults. They can be called teenagers.

As for Luffy, there is a gap in age between him and Ace and Sabo, and he still looks like a child.

After being trained by Zephyr in Marinford for a few years, the growth rate of Ace and Sabo has greatly exceeded Zephyr's expectations.

As they grow older, their talents are fully revealed, and even Ace's awakening of the Conqueror's Haki was exposed to Zephyr by chance. Zephyr realized that the talents of these two children were even beyond his expectations, so he made some changes to the training plan for the two.

Zephyr had come into contact with super geniuses like Tsugikoku Yoriichi, and he knew that such children must not be trained in a conventional way, which would only waste their outstanding and precious talents.

It was for this reason that when Ace and Sabo were ten years old, Zephyr decided to give the two devil fruits that Tsugakugo Yoshiichi had left with him to Ace and Sabo.

Originally, the two devil fruits were to be obtained after the two boys had grown up and experienced training, but now, Zephyr has done it ahead of time.

Tsugakugo Yoshiichi made such a decision because he considered that the power of the natural system was too strong. If a child became a natural system early, he would become dependent on the fruit ability and ignore the training of physical skills.

However, after Zephyr's long contact with Ace and Sabo, he found that the two boys were both smart and precocious. They were both very opinionated and self-controlled.

It was also because of this that Zephyr gave the two devil fruits to the two children early.

The benefits of the two children becoming ability users early are actually quite large. They can develop the ability of their own natural devil fruits as early as possible to assist in the training of physical skills. In time, they will all grow into the backbone of the navy!

As for Luffy.

Well, in Zephyr's eyes, Luffy is Luffy, Garp's grandson, that's all.

Luffy is still too young, and Luffy is a "beast", always careless and unintelligent, Zephyr really can't see any talent in him.

But Zephyr's love for Luffy has not decreased much because of his "lack of talent". On the contrary, because of Luffy's "ordinariness", Zephyr loves Luffy more than Ace and Sabo.

He is like the youngest brother in a family, being held in the hands of Zephyr, Ace, Sabo and others.

"Ace, Sabo, I'm hungry!!!"

Just when Ace and Sabo were bragging about being able to avoid the eyes of the navy and get on the ship smoothly, Luffy, who was accidentally ignored by the two, got angry and yelled at the top of his voice.

As soon as the sharp voice came out, Ace and Sabo were both startled, and then they came to Luffy's side skillfully, hugged Luffy together, and covered Luffy's mouth with their two small hands.

"Idiot, shut up! You will be discovered!"

"Idiot, I heard it! You bear it! This is a warehouse, how can there be no food?"

Ace and Sabo, the two left and right guards, covered Luffy's mouth and cursed in a low voice.

Luffy heard Sabo's words and realized that he might not be hungry anymore. He smiled and nodded.

Seeing Luffy shut up, Ace and Sabo breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Letting go, Ace looked at Sabo nervously. Sabo understood and slowly closed his eyes. After standing still for a few seconds, he smiled: "No one!"

Hearing this, Ace grabbed Luffy's face and said in a low voice: "I'll find you something to eat now. Don't make the noise like you did just now!"

As he said that, he loosened his hand, and Luffy's face rebounded with a light "snap" sound.

"Yeah!" Luffy smiled, tilted his head, looked at the pile of supplies, sniffed, picked a box that suited his eyes, stretched his right hand towards the box, and his arm quickly stretched out, directly grabbed the box, and then under the traction of his arm, the whole person catapulted out and shot towards the box.

"!!!"

"Idiot!!!"

Seeing this scene, Ace couldn't help but curse, and there was a little panic in his eyes. In his mind, he could already foresee the noise that would be caused after Luffy hit the box!

Just when Luffy was about to hit the box, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed from Ace's side, and in the blink of an eye, it was already several meters away.

Sabo's figure suddenly appeared beside the box several meters away, and he directly hugged Luffy who was flying.

"Bang!" With a light sound, Sabo caught Luffy steadily, and said to Luffy helplessly: "I told you not to worry, I will find food for you!"

Seeing this, Ace, who was not far away, patted his chest gently, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this time, he could no longer lose his temper with Luffy.

There was no other reason, he was tired.

"Woo--"

At this time, a low whistle suddenly came from the cabin. This was the movement of the warship leaving the port. Then, Ace and others could feel a slight shake under their feet, and the whole ship began to move.

"Going out to sea!" Ace and Sabo looked at each other in surprise, and then quickly put away such emotions and began to look through the goods to find some food for Luffy.

Among the various supplies in the warehouse, the most common thing is a kind of dry bread, which is the most common instant military rations with a very long shelf life. Other foods are potatoes, tomatoes, meat, rice and flour.

Ace took out a cloth bag from a box, took out two "baguettes" and threw them to Luffy.

When Luffy was hungry, he didn't care whether the food was delicious or not, and he just ate it. As for Sabo, he found a bag of apples and took a few from it and threw them to Ace and Luffy respectively.

In the first half of the Grand Line, different islands on the sea have their own unique climate and environment, and the products produced in each place are also different.

Therefore, even in January and February, the navy's various supplies are still very abundant.

While the three kids were eating in the warehouse, the heavy door of the warehouse slowly opened, and the dazzling lights in the warehouse suddenly turned on.

Outside the door, the quartermaster held the supply list in one hand, staring at Ace and Luffy who were stealing food in the warehouse with wide eyes. As for where Sabo was just now, there was only a gnawed apple stem left.

Beside the quartermaster, Zefa put his hands on his waist and saw Ace and Luffy who were stunned in the warehouse. After a moment of astonishment, his eyelids twitched wildly, turning into strong anger.

He looked around and showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth:

"Hmph!"

"Are you the only two?!"

"Sabo, stop hiding! Get out!"

Zefar looked at the pile of goods beside Luffy and shouted angrily.

Sabo was fast. But Ace and Luffy were discovered, so how could he escape? The speed of the Thunder Fruit can surpass the naked eye, but there is no way to eliminate its own breath. In front of Zephyr's observation Haki, Sabo, who hid in time, still had nowhere to hide.

Amid Zephyr's angry rebuke, Sabo slowly got out of the pile of goods and looked at Ace with some embarrassment.

He was so engrossed in eating that he didn't notice anyone approaching.
