Chapter 448: Tatsuya wants to kidnap Zefa's people
The next morning, Zhang Da and Tom changed into their newly received navy uniforms.
"I feel quite energetic." Zhang Da also looked at himself in the mirror. This clothes is quite comfortable to wear, worthy of being a military product.
Tom put on his hat, adjusted his collar, and tugged at his blue scarf. He pushed Zhang Da away from the mirror, looked at his outfit carefully, and nodded in satisfaction, even though he was only wearing a shirt and no pants.
Zhang Da also watched Tom adjust his collar, and inexplicably remembered Chu Yunfei's words, "I just like the small lapels on American military uniforms. After all, this is a democratic country, and even these uniforms are reasonable to you, allowing your neck to enjoy freedom and unrestrained."
Putting aside his messy thoughts, Zhang Da also tried on the hat, then frowned: "My hair seems to be a little long, Tom, come and help me cut it?"
Tom nodded, quickly pulled out a stool for Zhang Da to sit on, found a large piece of cloth to wrap around him, and finally took out a pair of scissors and started working busily.
Zhang Da also looked at the neat and tidy hairstyle in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. Tom was worthy of being everyone's personal barber. His hairdressing skills surpassed all Tony teachers, so much so that no barber shop in this world made a single cent from the Amber Tour Group.
"Good morning." Zhang Da also walked out of the room and met Shark Chili.
"Good morning." Shark Chili's dressing style was similar to Tom's. He only wore a loose top, probably because he was worried that it would be inconvenient to wear long pants when changing his form.
Uncle Long was already practicing boxing in the yard. He got up very early every day and attached great importance to this set of boxing techniques in the morning. He was also wearing a navy uniform. It may not be polite to say this, but he really looked like an ordinary navy soldier.
Behind Uncle Long were four lolis, who were following Uncle Long's rhythm in boxing and breathing. The four of them were dressed similarly, three of them were in high spirits, and only one looked listless - Perona didn't want to get up early, but also disliked this simple uniform.
On the second point, Zhang Da had to slightly agree with Perona's opinion. He also felt that little girls would look better in their own little skirts.
"Quack~" Kalu raised his wings and greeted Zhang Daye. He was wearing a specially made navy cap with the same seagull decoration as in the Warring States Period on it, and looked a little silly.
Ye Yan was dressed neatly and stood guard on the roof with a rifle on his shoulder. He did not rush back to sleep today. For the sake of art, he decided to be patient and go to morning exercises with everyone.
When passersby saw Ye Yan standing guard on the roof with eight flags behind him, they all had strange expressions on their faces.
He seems to have inadvertently affected the navy's image in the public's mind.
"Get ready!" Rui Mengmeng brought breakfast to the table and took off her apron. She was also wearing a navy dress. Unlike the other lolita girls, Rui Mengmeng's top was not as loose as the others, but it perfectly outlined her perfect figure. Perona and Weiwei might be able to compete with her when they grow up, but judging by the current trend, no one in the tavern would be able to compete with her within ten years.
Altria was summoned by Rui Mengmeng's dinner notification. She was the only one who didn't change her clothes today. However, she was wearing a white shirt and blue skirt, and the color combination of her clothes matched the navy uniform very well. She didn't look out of place among the crowd.
"So cunning!" Perona noticed Altria's clothes, but unfortunately her skirts were mostly red, pink and black, with no blue.
"Should I give you one?" Altria said that she had some extra skirts. Although she was a little taller than Perona, she only had a few left.
Considering Perona only turned fourteen last month, she's already nearly catching up to Altria in height. It's a sad story. Another sad part is that Wendy's height hasn't changed. Once Vivi grows a bit taller, she'll be able to understand Altria's feelings, and their relationship will surely improve.
Perona thought about it and rejected Altria's kindness. She felt that the blue skirt did not suit her, so she decided to just wear trousers for a while.
"Just make do with it for a while," Zhang Da consoled. "The navy's clothing requirements aren't that rigid. Generally, once you become a petty officer, you can wear whatever you like. Even though we won't be promoted, after a few battles, I don't think anyone will object if we wear our own clothes."
He still thought that Zefa giving them clothes was just a routine matter, and had never imagined the old man's "sinister" intentions.
…
When we arrived at the naval base, the sailors seemed to have just finished breakfast and were coming out of the cafeteria one after another.
Zhang Da was also heartbroken. He should have come here for a meal earlier, under the pretext of familiarizing himself with the situation in advance.
“Here I come!”
“There!”
“Go over there quickly!”
A group of marines surrounded everyone. Tom was startled and his rifle shook a few times in his hands before he could hold it again. His arms were shaking as he raised the gun and pointed it at the marines. However, when he raised it, he found that he was holding the gun upside down and turned it around in a panic.
The Marines didn't realize how dangerous their situation was. They all bowed to Wendy and said, "Ms. Wendy, thank you very much for your help!"
Zhang Da also looked at these Marines carefully and found that they were all unfamiliar faces. Judging from their appearance, they should be the people Wendy had treated yesterday.
Wendy waved her hands in a panic, "No...you're welcome. Tatsuya-nii and Zephyr-san asked me to help."
"Thank you for your help no matter what, and thank you also to Mr. Tatsuya!" The students looked very serious.
According to military doctors, these seriously injured soldiers will need at least half a month to recover, and some may need one or two months before they can resume training. However, for them, the time in the training camp is very precious, and two months of rest is enough to make them fall far behind their classmates.
The appearance of Wendy shortened the time to two or three days. Even if they didn't recover immediately, it was already very rare. This favor was too great for them!
After the other students heard about their story, they immediately became interested. Even those who originally disliked the Amber Tour Group were secretly thinking about whether they should use their allowances to buy some lollipops and chocolates every day to build a good relationship with this little healer.
After all, there will be many internships like this in the future, and injuries are inevitable. As long as Wendy helps, there won’t be too much delay in training.
So Wendy became the most popular person in the entire training camp overnight, a fact that even the outstanding Altria could not compare to.
"What are you all doing there?" Zefa asked, "Those who can participate in the training, come and do the drill. Those who can't, go back and rest!"
"Yes!" The Marines dispersed reluctantly. They found that apart from her abilities, Wendy herself was also very cute.
Zefa looked at Zhang Daye and the others walking towards him in their navy uniforms, and his mood suddenly became very comfortable. These people looked so good in their military uniforms. He showed an extremely kind smile and said, "You're on time. And these clothes suit you very well!"
Zhang Da always felt that he had seen Zephyr's eyes somewhere... He remembered that it was when Ace was affected by Perona's ability and said that he was not worthy of being a pirate, that was when Garp seemed to have the same look.
It's not like we've gone astray... Zhang Da couldn't stand Zefa's gaze and asked, "What's the content of today's training?"
"What's the training content?" Zefa said after organizing his words. "First, it's morning exercises. Just run a few kilometers. It's similar to a warm-up. It shouldn't be difficult for you."
"Then there's the morning class, which mainly covers the types of important islands, the climate and currents of the major oceans, and other common knowledge. Sometimes they also cover information on pirates, the coordinated operations between the Navy and the various departments of the World Government, and so on..."
When they heard that they were going to have cultural classes, an expression of boredom visibly appeared on Ye Yan and Perona's faces. They were both poor students.
To prevent them from being scared away, Zefa tried to make amends: "Ah, this may sound boring, but I will combine my experiences over the years to tell you about it. Just think about it, you can hear interesting stories from all over the world just by sitting in the house. This opportunity is rare."
The others were very interested. They had been traveling for nearly a year and had only visited a dozen islands in total, which was insignificant compared to Zefa's half-life experience. Perhaps by listening to the class they could find some interesting islands and visit them in the future.
Zefa glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost time. Let's go for exercise first. We can figure out the rest later."
"Okay." Zhang Da also agreed and led everyone to join the Marines in running exercises.
Zefa watched with satisfaction as the Amber Travel Group joined the queue and ran around the training ground with the other students.
As time passed, Zefa became more and more satisfied. As expected, everyone in this team, from adults to children, had physical strength far beyond that of ordinary people. Even Vivi, whom he was least optimistic about, ran for several kilometers without looking very tired.
Weiwei has been traveling with the Amber Travel Group for three months, and Uncle Long has been here for five months. During this period, they have never slacked off in their training. It is hard to say how much their combat effectiveness has improved, but their physical fitness has definitely improved greatly.
Except... the cat named Tom, who ran a lap and then rode on Kalu's body. Now he is hanging his tongue and looks exhausted.
Zefa still hasn't figured out what kind of person Tom is. Based on his observations and the information he got from Zhang Daye and others, Tom seems to be able to do many incredible things, but also seems to be unable to do anything well.
Judging from the fact that it can swim, it doesn't seem like it has the ability of a devil fruit... Zhang Da also said that Tom is just an ordinary house cat, but Zefa doesn't believe it at all. If all house cats were like this, there would have been no humans left in the world long ago. It's better to just observe slowly.
The training camp's morning exercises were different in intensity from those of regular Marines. Zhang Da's total running mileage was almost as high as Zhang Da's. The trainees were probably already accustomed to this level of intensity, and were somewhat surprised that everyone in the Amber Tour Group managed to stick with it.
What they didn't know was that Zhang Daye, Rui Mengmeng and Ye Yan were all carrying heavy burdens, and Uncle Long had recently been considering strengthening himself.
"Take a ten-minute break," Zefa said. "Gather at yesterday's meeting room in ten minutes."
Some of the Marines ran to drink water, some went to the toilet, some went directly to the meeting room, and some came up to talk to Zhang Daye and others.
Ye Yan and Shark Chili, the two social elites, were not afraid of such scenes and quickly became friends with the Marines. Although Uncle Long was not as good as them, his social skills were not bad and he got to know a lot of people in a short time.
Wendy was still the focus of the Marines' attention, but this time there were three little sisters to help her share the firepower, making her feel a little more relaxed.
Ain had originally wanted to talk to Wendy, but seeing how she was surrounded, she decided to get to know her better later and instead walked towards Altria: "Um... is the rumor about you defeating Hawkeye true ?"
Ain is also a swordsman, and he is somewhat concerned about this matter. Perhaps influenced by Altria's temperament, he unconsciously used honorifics when speaking.
"It wasn't as exaggerated as the newspapers said, and in the end, there was no real winner." Artoria had answered this question more than once. "He is a very strong swordsman."
In other words, this petite girl in front of me really has the same strength as Hawkeye? Aiyin was a little excited: "Well, can I ask you for advice if there is a chance?"
Altria nodded, "Sure, Tatsuya said we'll be staying here for quite a while."
Why would someone like Altria listen to that person's arrangements? Is he stronger? Ain looked at Zhang Daye in confusion.
At this time, Zhang Da was also pulling Binz aside to ask, "Mr. Zefa, how long is each training camp? Are there any early graduates?"
"About a year," Binz replied. "Even freak rookies like the three admirals didn't graduate early."
Binz's accent is a bit strange, somewhat similar to the Noh opera accent of CP9's Lion Weiqu.
"The three admirals...are they classmates?" Zhang Da only remembered that the three were Zefa's students.
"No, General Sakaski and General Borsalino are from the first term, and General Kuzan is from the third term," Binz said with some longing. "I just hope to be half as powerful as them in the future."
"Then you have to work harder." Zhang Da also felt that he was not doing well enough. The ability of the lush fruit was not strong enough. Controlling the growth of nearby plants through dancing was a good way to develop agriculture.
If you go out to fight, you have to carry a handful of seeds with you like Usopp, which is probably equivalent to a beggar version of Green Bull?
Well, on the bright side, if Binz is developed well, he might be able to become Green Bull's biological father and control him to death.
Zhang Da glanced at Vivi. He wondered if Cobra could just find a way to recruit people to Alabasta to work on the greening. The idea...invite the navy to set up a base in Alabasta's port city, and nominate Binz to lead it. The reasoning was that the Amber Tour Group had observed him during their training camp and deemed him qualified ...
Zhang Da also thought secretly, Zefa is always thinking about kidnapping my people, so why don’t I take action first.
"By the way, how are your Taijutsu lessons progressing? Have you learned the Six Styles yet?"
