One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger

The sky was slightly bright in the early morning, and beams of soft orange sunlight shone through the gaps in the mist and fell on the corners of the naval training base.

The silent atmosphere was broken by the sound of orderly footsteps, and a group of recruits marched towards the training ground in neat steps.

Zefa stood at the front of the team, his eyes scanning the faces in each row, making sure that everyone was in role and ready to take on today's mission.

Every time his eyes swept across an area, the sailors' backs involuntarily straightened more, their hands clasped behind their backs, and their faces became more serious.

But there were still a very small number of people standing loosely in the crowd, and he looked at those people carefully.

"I won't force you to participate if you don't want to. You can withdraw on your own accord. I won't stop you."

His voice was not very loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

Those who were already a little sloppy suddenly raised their eyes and stood on tiptoe instinctively, but then they seemed to have remembered something and hurriedly adjusted their attitude.

Zefa understood that these people did not come here voluntarily, and it was most likely due to family reasons that caused them to come to this training camp.

But these are not his responsibility. "Since no one has left, then just follow the orders and complete the task conscientiously!"

Although Zephyr is known as the 'general who doesn't kill', he is also well-known among the navy's high-ranking officials for his strict discipline of the army.

He cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes and will never allow a bad apple to affect the lives and safety of a group of people.

If those people who have the idea of ​​quitting continue to behave like they do today, he will definitely not show mercy to them.

Zefa looked at the navy in front of him and said loudly: "My name is Zefa. I believe most of you know my name, so I won't introduce it in detail."

"I am your chief instructor. From now on, your previous positions, resumes, and achievements will be ignored. Here you only have one identity, that is, a student."

"Here, the only thing you need to do is obey. Even if I tell you to eat shit, you have to do it! Do you hear me?"

"heard it!!!"

All the navy answered loudly, fearing that Zefa would be dissatisfied.

The three people from Jin'an also worked hard to cooperate with Zefa, and their voices were even the loudest.

If they are going to do something, they will do it the best. They want to be the most handsome guys in the training camp.

"This is my second training camp, and it will last for three years. Of course, if you want to graduate early, that's fine too. As long as you get the unanimous consent of the Navy's top brass, you can graduate as early as you want."

Zefa proposed a method to graduate early, but it is estimated that not many people can do it.

"You are all already elites." Zefa looked around at the slightly moved expressions of the people around him, and continued, "The first lesson I teach you is... to actually go to the battlefield."

Some of the navy officers looked at each other in bewilderment. These people all had experience fighting against pirates, and the first lesson that Zephyr taught them seemed a bit of a joke.

But some people looked hesitant. They had never actually been on the battlefield and were somewhat resistant to this thing.

The purpose of their coming to the naval training camp was just to expand their interpersonal relationships, and they never thought that they would face the difficult problem of going to the battlefield on the first day of joining.

Seeing the various expressions of the sailors, Zefa was not surprised, as he had seen such scenes many times.

But the navy will face this problem. Unless they transfer to civilian positions, this will happen sooner or later.

Zefa said calmly, "I have seen at least 1000 if not 800 students of your quality. You better pay attention to your own safety. Don't die on the battlefield accidentally and let an old man like me collect your bodies."

As soon as the words fell, all the navy officers, including Jin An and his men, were suddenly confused, with several black lines appearing on their foreheads.

As expected of a teacher, he is so good at telling lies.

I guess I have said this to many people.

Jinan has been hearing this since he was a child and has basically become immune to this kind of meaningless talk.

"Without further ado, let me arrange your tasks in detail."

Before the navy could react, Zephyr got straight to the point.

"This sea mission is a team mission. You can form a team of three to five people. The headquarters will send warships to escort you to the vicinity of the mission location."

"Your mission is to use your own abilities and those of your partners to find the target of your subjugation."

"We will not give you any help for your mission. You can only rely on yourself and your companions, so please carefully choose the partner that suits you."

Zefa's eyes imprinted everyone's faces in his mind. Although he spoke sternly, he valued these young people in front of him more than anyone else.

They are the future of the Navy...

But he also understood that without going through hardships, he would not be able to become a pillar of society.

Zefa continued, "You must pay attention to safety. Don't let your guard down when you are outside. Don't trust anyone except your companions."

"After you complete your mission, return to the naval base closest to you and contact us there. We will arrange for someone to pick you up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sailors started talking, no longer caring that the instructor was still beside them.

They had encountered team missions before.

But asking them to find suitable teammates among the people they just met is a bit too difficult for them.

This is a mission that concerns their lives and cannot be decided hastily.

Moreover, they don’t even know who the target of the mission is, which makes the difficulty of the mission increase to a higher level.

The sailors were as anxious as ants on a hot pan and had no idea what was going on.

"Teacher Zefa, will there be any punishment if the mission fails?"

"We don't know the specific situation of the people around us yet. It is a bit too difficult for us to find teammates under such conditions."

"If we are in danger, can we ask for your help?"

"..."

Zefa did not answer the navy's questions. The answers to these questions were already known when they joined the navy.

He glanced coldly at the navy who asked questions and said in a cold tone: "You must be clear about your identity. You are the navy."

"When you become a navy soldier, you should be mentally prepared. Even I could die on the battlefield at any time. If you are not mentally prepared, you should quit as soon as possible!"

After hearing what Zefa said, the navy suddenly became quiet.

Perhaps they have been living in comfort for too long and have long lost the courage to move forward.

But they will not forget your purpose in joining the Navy!
