Chapter 565 Why is there such a big gap between ducks?
So Binz came to Alabasta voluntarily.
Marshal Zhan Guo definitely did not force him, and Marshal Zhan Guo's little goat can testify to that.
Binz originally thought that life in Alabasta would be difficult, after all, it was a desert country. He had no complaints about anything. The navy needed to perform missions in various environments. His colleagues stationed near Winter Island might have worse working conditions than him.
But after arriving in Alabasta , Binz only needed to show off his abilities a little bit and easily won the king's courtesy.
The treatment he received here was almost the same as that of Ikalem, the captain of the kingdom's guard and minister of state.
Apart from the need to save water, there doesn't seem to be anything to complain about here.
And…he gets to collect two salaries.
Binz didn't have too many complaints about his current life situation. The reason why he looked at Zhang Daye with resentment when they met was entirely because his career plan was disrupted without his permission, so he felt a little resentful.
But after these days, he has figured out that such a job might be a good thing for him. Strictly speaking, he should actually thank Zhang Daye for his recommendation.
"Don't be so polite!" Zhang Da was completely unconcerned. "I just think it's a shame that your talents are buried in the Navy Headquarters."
Binz's blood pressure rose again. What does "buried in the Marine Headquarters" mean? The Marine Headquarters should be the place where soldiers like us shine! Marshal Sengoku will hit someone if he hears this, okay?
In order to calm himself down, Binz quickly found another topic.
Everyone reminisced about the past in Nahana for a while, and Cobra invited everyone to a banquet at the palace to celebrate Vivi's return from her trip and to thank Amber Travel Group for taking care of Vivi over the past year.
Ikalem was a little puzzled: "The number of running ducks..."
"It's okay. Let Vivi and Kalu go back with you by land. We can go by water." Zhang Da also felt that Vivi and Cobra hadn't seen each other for more than a year and should have a lot to talk about, so they didn't get involved.
Cobra said: "But this is too rude."
Zhang Da also waved his hand: "Don't worry about such trivial matters. We are already very familiar with Alabasta."
Cobra was still hesitant, so Bell took the initiative and said, "Why don't you let me accompany Mr. Tatsuya and the others by water, just like last time."
Binz thought about it and didn't say anything. He decided to go back with the king. It was too easy to get angry when chatting with Zhang Daye. He needed to adjust his mentality and talk later.
Zhang Da also nodded and said, "That's great. It's a good opportunity for Captain Bell to introduce to us the changes that have taken place in Alabasta this year."
"Well, okay, then I'll leave it to you, Bell." Cobra thought that the banquet also needed time to prepare, and it would take a long time, so it was just right for them to go back in advance to prepare on the fast running duck.
After the discussion, everyone took action separately.
Vivi rode on Kalu, while Cobra, Ikalem, Binz and other members of the guard rode on the Running Ducks and ran out of the city towards Albana.
Once outside the city, Weiwei and Kalu were so far ahead that the other sprinting ducks couldn't keep up. Even at their fastest sprint, they could only eat sand behind Kalu.
Maybe Kalu hadn't run in the desert for too long, and he was a little excited to be back home. Plus, Weiwei felt very comfortable riding on Kalu's back, and kept urging him to "hurry up, hurry up". The two of them quickly left the others far behind.
Only after hearing Ikalem's worried cry from behind did Kalu turn around and run back to the team.
Cobra was puzzled and asked, "Why can Kalu run so fast?"
Logically speaking, Karu is still in his infancy, and should not be a match for an adult sprinting duck in terms of physical strength or speed, but the speed he just showed was obviously unreasonable.
"Because Karu also went through rigorous training, and it was just as rigorous as the soldiers at the Marine Headquarters!" Vivi said proudly, "And Karu even learned to swim from Mr. Tom!"
"Quack~" Kalu raised his wings to express his pride.
"Quack???" The other running ducks looked incredulous.
Is this kid Kalu really that amazing? He's improved so much after just one year studying abroad? And he even has swimming skills. Can a fast-paced duck learn to swim?
"Is that so?" Cobra and Ikalem also found it unbelievable.
"That's true. Sometimes, Kalu trains more in a day than we do." Binz served as a witness for Vivi and Kalu.
The amount of extra training for Kalu basically depends on how much Tom wants to play. According to Binz, if these two little animals get together, it may be a little difficult to reach the moon in the sky, but they can definitely catch turtles in the five oceans.
"As for swimming, he not only can swim, but he can also swim backstroke and freestyle." Speaking of this, Binz had an expression of shattered worldview.
He had seen many strange animals, but this was the first time he had seen a duck that could swim backstroke and freestyle. That didn't fit the body structure of a duck, right?
I originally thought that the Galloping Ducks in Alabasta had special bodies, but when I came here I found that it was not the case. The difference between ducks can sometimes be quite big.
"That...that's really amazing..." Cobra didn't know what expression to put on, so he could only encourage, "Karu did a great job. I'll have to trouble you to continue protecting Weiwei in the future."
"Quack~" Kalu saluted with his wings. He was happy to be praised by the king.
The other fast-running ducks had mixed feelings. We are all the same species, so why are you so outstanding?
Cobra is very curious now. Even Kalu has become so powerful, so what Vivi said before that she has become very strong now, is it true?
Did this child suffer a lot outside?
He asked politely, "Weiwei, where have you been this past year? Although I occasionally see some reports in the newspapers, those shouldn't be all the stories, right?"
"Places I've been to?" Weiwei thought for a moment, then counted on her fingers. "Gaya Island, Changhuan Changdao, Seven Water City, Sabaody Archipelago, the three major institutions of the World Government, and the G-2 branch..."
…
"...Lulucia Kingdom, Brujoa Kingdom, Fishman Island, Drum Kingdom, Sky Island. On my way back, I happened to pass by Hawkeye's territory, so I went there too. That's about it."
On the Amber, Zhang Da was also talking about the same topic with Bell. The deputy captain of the Kingdom Guard was also very concerned about the princess's experiences over the past year.
Bell sighed, "You've been to so many places. It must be very tiring, right?"
"You may have some misunderstanding about us." Zhang Da also said, "We are traveling, not going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Why is it so hard? Our ultimate goal is to have fun and enjoy ourselves..."
"..." Bell was speechless. He subconsciously thought of this journey as Zhang Daye and the others taking Princess Vivi out for training, and almost forgot that they were a tour group.
"But Weiwei did work very hard during her time at the Marine Headquarters, and she didn't neglect her regular training, so she's made rapid progress this year." Zhang Da also looked at Bell and said, "If you fight her again now, you might lose."
"If that's the case , I'd be happy for the princess too," Bell said with a smile, "but I haven't been idle this past year either."
