Chapter 450: Is There Something Wrong?
Aiyin was ultimately defeated. Having only been in training camp for two months, she was still far from a match for the eight flag monsters in terms of physical skills. Although she was defeated by the siege, she had no reason to complain. They were all ability users, and there was no reason to be dissatisfied with losing to the other's ability.
In fact, Ye Yan could win if he directly competed with her in physical skills. After all, he had already learned fighting skills, and he had been in this world for almost nine months. He trained every day and was always able to fight with his companions. His strength improved very quickly.
However, Ye Yan, this scheming boy, on the one hand, habitually wants to hide something, and on the other hand, he does not want to take the risk of turning back into a child. Although this is a friendly unit and there is no need to worry about danger, he believes that Zhang Da will definitely not miss this opportunity to laugh at him.
So Ye Yan has made a decision. If there are any battles arranged in the future, he plans to pretend that his physical skills are very poor. When someone who can defeat the flag monster appears, he will give the other party a surprise.
In comparison, the battle between Aiyin and Ye Yan was relatively dragged out. Most of the others were the same as Zhang Da, resolving the battle in one or two moves.
For example, Rui Mengmeng, when facing the best student except Ain and Binz, broke the opponent's iron block with just one punch without even drawing the sword.
Perona caused great damage to the opponent's mind with just one move, causing the soldiers who watched her fight to immediately turn her into an object that must not be provoked.
Vivi expended a little more effort. She was worried that the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit might hurt someone, so she fought more conservatively. She didn't use more damaging moves like sucking out moisture, but instead focused on restraining and tripping her opponent, making him look miserable.
Jackie Chan won easily. Months of hard training had greatly improved his physical fitness, which was no longer a weakness. His opponent had never seen an opponent as agile and versatile as Jackie Chan, and he was disarmed in just two rounds.
In the third round, Jackie Chan put the weapon back into his hand and punched him in the nose while he was stunned.
Zefa covered his face with his hands as he watched. He felt that the losing side had a big problem, but the winning side might have an even bigger problem - who would steal the enemy's weapon just to play with it for a few times and then put it back?
The sensation caused by Wendy's fight was very powerful. Her opponent, not wanting to hurt the little angel, politely asked Wendy to make the first move, saying that she could just attack with all her strength.
Wendy thought about it carefully and did not use any offensive magic. Instead, she gave herself a state of enhanced strength and punched the man seven or eight meters away.
The onlookers were stunned. Was this still the little angel they remembered? Only then did they remember that this seemingly soft and timid girl was actually known as the 'Sky Maiden'. Furthermore, she had a record of single-handedly taking on entire pirate groups. Anyone who underestimated her would suffer a great loss.
In comparison, Xia Lulu's battle could barely be called a tough one. Xia Lulu in human form possessed agility that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, but her attack power was not as outstanding in comparison.
Fortunately, she knew the most basic way to use magic to increase the power of ordinary punches and kicks, so she had no problem dealing with a few new recruits.
The most conflicted person at this moment was Tom's opponent. To be fair, he had a good impression of the Amber Travel Group, and he really couldn't bring himself to bully the cats of the Amber Travel Group during combat training.
尽管这只猫贱兮兮地戴着拳套挑衅，让人看一眼就忍不住想揍他。
"Um... Tom, right? My name is Kane, and I recently mastered the Iron Block skill from the Six Styles." Kane said to Tom, who was eager to try. "Do you really want to fight me?"
Tom thought for a second. What was an iron block? Oh, that skill for taking a beating. The master also had it, and seemed to have always disliked it.
That's no problem, Tom nodded as if to confirm, you are learning the skill of being beaten, and I want to beat you, there is no conflict at all!
"Okay." Kane looked at Tom with a headache, not knowing where to start. "How about you come over and attack me?"
Tom walked lightly with the stride of a boxer, swinging his fists back and forth with his body, occasionally making a few feints, looking very professional.
I don't know what moment Tom saw, but he rushed forward and threw a left hook! A right hook! A straight punch! A swing punch! His movements were cool and handsome, all in one go.
But, none of the punches landed.
Kane bent down and held down Tom's head, using his height and arm span to force Tom to hit the air in vain.
After throwing more than twenty punches, Tom gradually realized that something was wrong. His three pairs of beards twisted, and Tom felt that he was being looked down upon, and he became a little angry.
Kane didn't notice Tom's mood. He thought Tom was tired from fighting, so he put his hands under Tom's arms and lifted him up. He said with a smile, "How about giving up if you're tired? I don't want to be laughed at and accused of bullying you, nor do I want to be punished by doing push-ups."
Tom didn't want to admit defeat because Zefa had secretly promised Tom that for every person he defeated, he would give him a bag of fish snacks specially supplied by the navy.
For some reason, the navy's special supply of snacks is very rich in variety, such as the rice cake slices that Sengoku likes, the senbei and donuts that Garp likes, and the fish slices that Zephyr promised this time. Each snack tastes very good and the quality far exceeds that of ordinary similar products.
This is the first person. If he loses, won’t he not even be able to taste the special fish fillets?
"Activate super transformation mode!" At this time, Shark Chili's voice caught Tom's attention.
"Shark Chili Overhand Throw!"
Bang! A Marine fell to the ground.
Normally, it wouldn't take such a big show to beat a student, but Shark Chili felt that since it was his first battle in the camp, he should pay enough attention to his opponent, so he transformed himself and used an ordinary shoulder throw to defeat the opponent.
He was measured in his attack, estimating that with such force, the other party would just faint and would not need Wendy's treatment.
Tom's eyes lit up. It turns out there was such a trick!
He just grabbed Kane's hand, twisted his body 180 degrees in an unscientific way, put Kane's arm on his shoulder, and threw Tom over his shoulder!
Kane didn't react at all. He watched Tom twist his body into a pretzel and was wondering about the cat's body structure. The next moment, the world was spinning around and he fell to the ground.
Isn't that right? Why would a cat throw itself over his shoulder? No, that's not the point. The point is that he was just suspended in mid-air. Where was the foothold?
Whose over-the-shoulder throw can generate force in the air?
Kane lay quietly in the human-shaped pit, his brain stopped thinking.
Tom floated down from the sky, lay down beside Kane, slapped the ground for a count of ten, and raised a fist to declare his victory.
Zefa shook his head. This was the worst class of students he had ever taught.
Even though he disliked it, he still had to say what he had to say. Zefa organized his words:
"Binzi, you learned how to shave in two months, which is commendable, but don't think you're some amazing genius. Tatsuya, the man you fought against, mastered three of the six styles in just six months, and also learned Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Only someone like him can be called a genius!"
"Ain, you've relied too much on your abilities until now. I don't deny that well-developed abilities are very helpful in combat, but your abilities rely on physical contact, so you should focus more on physical skills. I hope you can understand one thing: some people are unaffected by your abilities, but some people... even if you go back ten or twenty years, you still won't be their match!"
Zefa evaluated the battle of each student, no matter whether they were killed in one move or held on for a while, he pointed out their shortcomings one by one, and also gave some suggestions to the members of the Amber Travel Group. However, several battles ended too quickly, and Zefa needed to watch a few more.
"Kane..." When it came to the last game, Zefa hesitated for a long time before saying, "Don't forget a thousand push-ups."
Kane looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, seemed to be moved by Zefa's words, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Teacher Zefa, at least tell me how I lost!
This can't be blamed on Zefa. He really didn't know how to comment on Tom's battle. The moves and everything else were completely unreasonable! In front of Tom, it didn't seem that important whether to underestimate the enemy or not. Zefa decided to observe more.
So several more matches were arranged, but unlike the previous ones, each match was two-on-one, three-on-one, or even five-on-one or ten-on-one, in an effort to give everyone the opportunity to personally experience the strength of the Amber Travel Group (and get beaten).
The students naturally had no objections. They had just witnessed the strength of their opponents. None of them were easy to defeat. If it was a one-on-one fight, they might not even have the confidence themselves.
However, this level of increase in the number of people does not put much pressure on Zhang Da. Every additional person just requires more effort.
The situations of Rui Mengmeng and Shark Lajiao are similar to Zhang Da's. Zefa thinks that these people are a bit over the standard to be placed in the recruit training camp. If they are to be arranged to fight in the future, they must at least be major generals. Moreover, ordinary major generals may only be beaten or run away when facing them.
Perona, a master of controlling the situation, can deal with group battles with ease. She just needs to place a few more ghosts. Before these students mastered shaving, Perona didn't even have to move to deal with them.
Zephyr quietly customized a training plan for Perona that did not use any abilities but relied solely on physical skills to fight the enemy.
Jackie Chan looked a little embarrassed in the multiplayer battle and was occasionally punched and kicked, but when he found a way to break away from the battle and started to escape, a magical thing happened - the multi-on-one naturally turned into a one-on-one on the move.
All those who pursue him will be knocked down by him one after another, and it looks even easier and smoother than one-on-one. Jackie Chan's attacks always come at unexpected times and in unexpected ways, making people lose unexpectedly.
"Is there such a tactic?" Zefa was amazed. Jackie Chan's talent felt very strange to him, and he couldn't think of how to help develop it for a while.
The most outrageous one has to be Tom. It seems that the more people besiege him, the harder it is for him to win.
If Tom has to face ten enemies, then these ten people will all be Tom's good helpers, and each of them has a high probability of accidentally hurting teammates when making a move.
Things like trying to chop Tom with a knife and ending up cutting his companion's belt, or hitting Tom with a stick and ending up hitting his companion's foot, these are all minor scenes.
The outrageous thing is that Tom slapped one person on the back of the head, then pointed at another person and said he did it, and the person being beaten actually believed it! Moreover, the two people actually grabbed each other's collars on the spot, as if they were about to fight at any time.
If Tom hadn't been able to hold back his laughter, the two of them would probably have started fighting for no apparent reason!
Zefa rubbed his forehead. They were obviously the ones with the best performance in coordinated operations. They also cooperated most tacitly in the battle with the pirates yesterday. Why did they all throw their brains aside when they met Tom?
What's the principle behind this cat?
The fighting course ended happily, at least it was quite enjoyable for Zhang Daye. Occasionally bullying the weak is good for physical and mental health. The people here speak very nicely. After beating them, they even say thank you for the guidance.
Moreover, the more Zephyr looked at him, the more he liked him. Although he was far from exerting his full strength, Zephyr was already full of praise for his progress during this period. It seemed that as long as Zhang Da opened his mouth, Zephyr would be busy taking him as a disciple, and a special disciple like Coby to Garp.
It’s a pity that Zhang Da had no such intention at all. The Naval Headquarters or the training camp were just check-in points for him. Their significance to him was to gain some navigation knowledge and, by the way, improve the strength of his companions whose combat effectiveness was not so strong.
By this time, the morning classes were almost over. After making a brief summary, Zefa announced that it was time for lunch.
Next, it’s Altria’s home court.
The Marines did not see Altria take action the entire morning, but they witnessed her strength in the cafeteria.
“Wow… so impressive.”
"Which set is this?"
"I don't know, but they're running low on dishes. The chef has no time to wash them. It seems like he's asking anyone who's free to help wash the dishes. They're going to compete with the Amber Tour Group."
There are always some bored people who stay in the cafeteria after eating to watch the fun, and then volunteer to wash dishes in order to see Altria's true strength.
"Hey, not only Miss Altria, but Miss Rui Mengmeng is also amazing."
"Tatsuya-kun isn't bad either!"
"I must be crazy. I saw Tom eat at least thirty people's worth of food. Is it okay for his stomach to be so bloated?"
"Even in headquarters, only the Titan Vice Admiral can rival them, right?"
Ain sat across from Altria, her faith crumbling. She watched as Altria moved her chopsticks, and a plate of noodles vanished; she lifted her knife and fork, and a steak vanished in pieces; she waved her spoon, and a bowl of hot soup emptied...
She thought Altria should be an elegant knight, but now... her movements and posture are indeed very elegant, but... is there something wrong?
