Chapter 495: Official Documents from Alabasta
"Are you planning to leave?" Not long after the New Year, Zhang Da told Zefa his intention to leave. Zefa knew that there was no hope for them to stay, and his heart was full of regret.
Zhang Da also said: "Well, in the middle of this month, we have stayed long enough."
They have been in the training camp for more than five months, and Zhang Da has not forgotten that their original purpose of coming here was not only to get free meals, but also to learn the Six Forms.
Now, except for Shark Chili, Vivi and Kalu, everyone has mastered at least one or two moves, especially the Moon Step, which can basically ensure that they will not be killed if they fall from a high altitude.
Let’s not talk about Kalu, his physiological structure limits him. Let’s talk about it when Tom has the urge to teach him the six cat moves.
Weiwei was too young. Even though her physical fitness far surpassed that of her peers, it would still be difficult for her to achieve this. It would take at least another year or two. Fortunately, she still had the Sand-Sand Fruit, so as long as she didn't fall into the sea, she shouldn't die.
As for Shark Chili, if he wants, he can bring his own finger gun and enhanced iron block, but learning the Moon Step is a bit difficult for him, so we can only think of other ways. If all else fails, everyone can take him with them at critical moments.
In this way, the skills that should be learned have been mastered, the people that should be met have been met, and almost all the dishes mastered by the chef of this department have been tasted. If you still want to see something new nearby, you can only go to the holy land of Mary Geoise.
But Zhang Da was also afraid that he would not be able to resist causing trouble when he arrived in Mary Geoise, so he didn't want to go there yet.
In addition, Zhang Da didn't know if he was being overly suspicious, but he also noticed that Zefa had recently been trying to inquire about his abilities in a roundabout way, and occasionally created conditions for him to display other abilities during training sessions.
He suspected that Zefa might have noticed some details, and Zhang Da also felt it was better to stay away from him.
In this case, it is time for them to leave the Navy Headquarters and start a new journey.
Even Zhang Da was a little reluctant to let Aiyin go. Double the training experience was really great.
He privately asked Altria and Rui Mengmeng to try several times to invite Ain to go with him for a while, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful.
Although Ain was very tempted to travel with Altria, she also had her own persistence. She joined the navy to uphold justice, so how could she give up her dream just to "chase stars"?
The reason why Ain admires Altria is that on the one hand, she is attracted by her temperament, but more importantly, it is because she has what she desires, the power to defeat most pirates and uphold justice.
If you hastily decide to follow her just because you admire her, that would be putting the cart before the horse. Ain is very clear about this.
"Since you've already made up your mind, I don't have much to say." Having already invited you more than once, Zefa didn't waste any more words. He said, "Then I'll host a farewell party in a few days. It's also a way of thanking you for your guidance and care for my students during this time."
When Zhang Da realized that his clothes were grabbed, he knew that he should accept Zefa's kindness.
…
The farewell party was not held in the headquarters. Zefa found a restaurant outside and booked it out. The time was specially chosen on the students' day off so that they could have fun.
Zhang Da also complained quietly that he didn't realize that Zefa was the kind of leader who would use his subordinates' rest time to carry out team building.
But if Zefa pays out of his own pocket, shouldn't everyone be more restrained?
"Eat as much as you want. I can't say I'm rich, but I can afford to treat you to a big meal."
Zefa knew what Zhang Da was worried about, but his salary was not low, and he usually ate and lived in the headquarters. His only hobby was to drink a few glasses of sherry occasionally, but many students knew his preference, and people often brought wine to see him, so Zefa had almost no expenses.
"Besides, this is a restaurant opened by the family of one of my students. If you eat more, it will be considered as supporting the business."
The town of Marinford was mostly inhabited by families of navy officers, so it wasn't surprising to see Zefa's students. Zhang Da also asked, "Then we won't be polite. Did your student come today?"
Zefa poured a glass of wine for Zhang Da and then poured one for himself. "He's been dead for over ten years... During the war when the Golden Lions wreaked havoc at headquarters, he went to organize the evacuation of civilians. On his way back, a warship fell on him, carrying both the people and the ship..."
"Oh, sorry."
"No, no need to apologize." Zefa picked up the wine glass, "On the contrary, I want to thank you on his behalf. Thank you for defeating the Golden Lion."
"It was just a coincidence." Zhang Daye clinked glasses with Zefa. The wine flowed between their taste buds, with sweet, sour and spicy tastes, and a very complex taste.
After drinking a glass, Zhang Da roughly understood why Zefa liked this kind of wine. The taste of sherry was as complex and changeable as Zefa's life experience.
The topic at the beginning was a bit heavy, but not many people heard it. Most of the students were young people, and they soon became noisy.
Tom took Kalu Duck around to eat, drink and have fun. Shark Chili was sociable and got several groups of people to play finger-guessing games and drink. With Ye Yan, who was good at creating an atmosphere and liked to be in the spotlight, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively.
During this period, people kept coming to Zhang Daye and the others to express their gratitude. They had learned a lot from each other during battles and training, and many people had been saved by them on the battlefield. However, now they could only say thank you and keep the kindness in their hearts.
Artoria was a little annoyed. Those who came to thank her and say goodbye would only affect her efficiency in enjoying the food. However, these people had fought side by side with her before, and Artoria was sincerely happy about it.
Rui Mengmeng is arm wrestling. She has knocked down more than 20 people , and Uncle Long is one of them. He is now among the onlookers cheering for Rui Mengmeng.
The little girls were looking for delicious desserts everywhere and seemed very happy, especially Perona. In such an occasion, neither Uncle Long nor Zhang Da would come to spoil the fun, which means there is no limit on desserts today!
She was so happy that her soul almost left her body.
…
All good things must come to an end. After a happy gathering, the Amber finally left the naval headquarters.
Besides the trainees in the training camp, those who saw them off included Zephyr with a regretful expression and Garp who was picking his nose.
Zefa sighed: "In the end, he still refused to stay."
"Yeah, damn it." Cap snapped his fingers, and a suspicious object flew out. "He ate nine hundred donuts in a row and still couldn't beat that little girl. How despicable!"
Zephyr dodged skillfully, not wanting to talk to Garp.
Binz looked at the "unexpected disaster" on his shoe, angry but unable to speak. Then, an idea struck him and he asked, "Ain, can you help me back up a bit?"
Ain said simply, "I refuse."
At this time, Zhan Guo was reading a document from Alabasta in his office.
At the beginning there were some polite words like thanking the navy for taking care of Vivi, followed by some appreciation for the navy's work in the past year. The key point was that at the end, Cobra made a request to the navy in the name of the king.
"We hope to invite Mr. Binz, an outstanding student at the training camp, to be stationed in Alabasta after graduation and to serve as an environmental and agricultural consultant."
Zhan Guo wiped his glasses and rubbed his eyes. Is there something wrong?
