Chapter 416 Coaxing 【Three in One】

After arguing in the marshal's office, Skyler came to the boot camp, but Garp didn't come with him. After all, he was taken advantage of tonight and had to choose the venue in advance.

Since Zefa didn't need to take the internship ship out for graduation assessment this year, the elite camp was divided early, and the three people who caused him the most headache also entered the elite camp smoothly.

When Skyler came to the elite camp, he was surprised to find that Zefa, who had been extremely focused on teaching, actually set up a tea shed outside the elite camp and sat in it comfortably drinking tea.

Instead of Zefa to train the recruits of the elite battalion, it was Skyler, an unexpected person. Admiral Akainu Sakaski of the Navy Headquarters

Skyler walked up to Zefa and saw that Zefa had already poured tea for herself. She was not polite, and directly pulled another reclining chair over and rocked it leisurely.

"Mr. Zefa, am I crazy or General Akainu is crazy?"

After taking a sip of tea, Skyler said relaxedly, and Zefa had a weird smile on his face when he heard that, and said, "Sakaski was sneaking around the new barracks some time ago.

Once caught by the old man, he lied that he was investigating whether the son of Roger and the daughter of Kaido were undercover, hahaha~ In fact, the old man has already seen it, and it is really difficult for him to stay in the headquarters.

So the old man reluctantly let him serve as a teaching assistant for the actual combat class. This kid is also interested in it. If you were planned to be in his phalanx back then, maybe the road would not be so bumpy. "

Skyler glanced at the handsome Akainu holding the pointer, and shook his head with a smile, and said, "General Akainu is indeed much more active than General Kizaru. When I was in the training camp, I also I often see the figure of General Akainu.

But things are unpredictable. If I had been training with Admiral Akainu at that time, maybe it would have been as you said, it would not have been so bumpy, but maybe I would not have been able to improve so fast? "

"Working under that bastard Polusalino is really suitable for a talented person like you, but how many people like you are there in the Navy?

Polusalino has brought out soldiers for so many years, but he only brought out one you and half of Stoloberg. "

Skyler's words just now are undoubtedly speaking well for the yellow monkey, almost instinctively, Zefa habitually hurt the yellow monkey, but Skyler didn't refute.

After all, the year when Akakenu and Kizaru took charge of the new barracks, their performance was really different.

Although what Huang Yuan did was not considered a violation, after all, the commander of the phalanx does not need to keep watch over the recruits. If there is no red dog, Huang Yuan's behavior is not excessive.

But everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with Akainu, who usually performed a large number of cruise missions at that time and could spare enough time to take care of recruits, Kizuru, who did not do tasks and was unwilling to take care of recruits, was indeed too much. .

"Actually, you are also partial. You asked General Akainu to train recruits in your place temporarily, isn't it just to let these recruits remember the favor of General Akainu?"

Skyler and Zefa have a very strong teacher-student relationship, so Skyler didn't hide it and said it directly.

Zefa nodded and said, "Even if it's me, it's inevitable. Just look at Polusalino and Kuzan, which one is still motivated. In ten years, it is estimated that only Sakaski will be left." One person can go up."

Skyler, like Garp, made it clear that he was unwilling to be promoted to admiral, and he would not be able to become admiral without being promoted to admiral. Except for Akainu among the three generals, it seems that no one can serve as admiral.

"The marshal of the Warring States Period is so humble that he just wants to save face. If someone else is the marshal, he will probably be furious at this time."

After Skyler finished speaking, the teachers and students looked at each other with smirks. It is probably really unacceptable to replace Zefa's behavior with a more selfish person as the current marshal.

But having said that, if another person served as the marshal, perhaps Zefa would not make the choice to let Akainu take charge of the elite battalion in the recruit camp.

"Tonight's New Year's party, and Ace's birthday party, do you want to ask Admiral Akainu to come together?"

Hearing this, Zefa thought for a while and said, "Then you have to be prepared to be rejected by Sakalski three or five times, and finally show that you are reluctant to go to the banquet."

"As expected."

Skyler shrugged, and Zefa stood up slowly at this time, and asked, "Do you want to meet these children?"

"Then let's take a look. Anyway, there is still some time before dinner, and I can't stand drinking tea all the time."

Skyler also stood up, followed Zefa, and walked towards the center of the training camp. When Akainu saw Zefa and Skyler coming, he also walked out of the queue and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Zefa, Lieutenant General Skyler."

"Admiral Akainu, is there anything about the new warship?"

Skyler also greeted with a smile, Akainu nodded straight, and said: "It has been confirmed that Katrin Teemi has the ability to resurrect, and now the headquarters is asking for some information, and will connect with the World Government after the new year.

Lieutenant General He also approved my application for a new warship, and she said that she would try her best to negotiate with Dr. Vegapunk. "

Akainu was talking, and suddenly noticed that the recruits seemed to be distracted, and he was about to reprimand him when he turned around, but he found that they were all paying attention to Skyler, so he didn't speak.

Zefa also answered in a timely manner: "Skyler, say a few words?"

"what can I say?"

Skyler originally wanted to shirk, but noticed the admiring eyes of the recruits, and nodded accordingly, and asked, "Do you know me?"

"Report! Recognize!"

Yamato yelled, Skyler stared directly at him, she lowered her head a little aggrieved, she really knew her.

The other recruits didn't dare to speak. After all, not everyone is like those three monsters, so they don't have to be afraid of Admiral Akainu and Teacher Zefa.

"Relax! Disband!"

Akainu also saw the restraint of the recruits, so he simply disbanded the team temporarily, and the line also loosened a little, and they all gathered slightly towards Skyler.

"Lieutenant Admiral Skyler, I'm in the Navy because of you!"

A blushing little girl yelled, not in embarrassment, but more like the excitement of a star chaser seeing an idol, Skyler raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't become another person because of someone.

I hope that whatever you become in the end is not for another person, but for yourselves.

Even if some of you choose to join the navy because of me, remember that the training is yours, the harvest is yours, the pain is yours, and success or failure is your own.

I have nothing to gain or lose from this, so remember that when you improve through training, it is for yourselves, not for me.

Conversely, if something happens to you, don't blame me. I can't stand your compliments, nor can I bear your complaints. "

Skyler said, clasping his hands together, begging for mercy, which made many recruits laugh. Zefa and Akainu are both people who are stingy with laughter and praise.

So even if Skyler tells a joke that isn't really a joke at this point, it's going to put them at ease and make them feel good.

Zefa, who had hardly smiled in the training camp, grinned generously and laughed.

He wasn't moved by this boring joke, but he saw Skyler's sobriety. If it was Garp, that bastard, he should have put his hands on his hips and told about his great achievements by now, right?

"Is there anything you want to ask me? I mean something more specific."

Skyler waited for the recruits to relax before she asked. A teenager who was about the same age as Ace raised his hand. Skyler nodded at him, and the teenager asked:

"Lieutenant General Skyler, do you think the training is hard?"

Skyler nodded, and the boy continued to ask, "Then how did you persist?"

When this question was asked, many recruits echoed it. It was okay in the recruit camp before, and the training intensity was not that high, but since entering the elite camp, the training intensity has immediately increased, and every day is miserable.

And in the past half a month, after Admiral Akainu took over, the amount of training was even more terrifying. During training during the day, because they were afraid of Akainu, they didn't even dare to complain. And one night, in the recruits' dormitory, there were endless sobs and whimpers .

At this time, Akainu's face was a bit ugly, because in his opinion, only a large amount of training can ensure progress. Countless navies, including him, Akainu, Skyler and others, have survived this way.

It's just that not everyone can digest all this with a strong heart like Akainu.

Skyler thought for a while and said, "Are you persevering like this? Have you ever experienced the kind of... that you might be starved to death, you might be killed, or... any other experience that could threaten your life?"

Most of the recruits shook their heads, and Skyler pushed his sunglasses and said, "I have had that experience, so when I can't hold on anymore, I will think about my own death.

Then think about it, if I can persist and become stronger, will there be any change?

After that, it is the motivation to go from living to living better. I don't even think about pain anymore.

Because I have understood that the accompaniment of pain is not periodic, it will follow you all the time, so I chose to accept it and use every pain as a reminder that I am making progress.

That's what I've been through, and what I'm still going through. I hope it helps you guys. "

Skyler spoke in a relaxed tone, but many recruits lowered their heads in shame, feeling that their complaints in the past were like children messing around.

Even Zefa patted Skyler on the shoulder lightly. Skyler herself didn't even feel deeply like these people. She had indeed experienced the period of life she said.

When she first came to this sea, before she met Crocodile, she was indeed anxious every day about whether she would starve to death or be killed.

But if you think about it, there is really no bitterness when you think about it, because the memory of that period of time is fulfilling for her every day, and it can't be said to be fulfilling, it should be said to be nervous.

I was so nervous that I didn't have time and space for myself to feel sorry for myself, I was so nervous that I couldn't hurt the spring and autumn, and after that, I was getting better every day, so how could I be bitter?

Seeing the poignancy of these recruits at this time, Skyler smiled and shook his head, and said, "I don't know what you are thinking now, but it must be different from what I think.

Let's talk about something else, Ace, do you have any questions? "

"ah?"

Ace, who was suddenly named, was a little confused, shouldn't it be because he heard his aunt tell the story of the year? Why speak for yourself? Dazed for a moment, he scratched his head and said in embarrassment:

"I have nothing to ask, I am here to train and study every day, and I will sleep when I return to the dormitory"

"Hahaha~"

After hearing Ace's words, many recruits laughed and were pulled back from the atmosphere just now. Many people were making fun of Ace, including Yamato and Bonnie.

Zefa and Akainu also smiled, but they were satisfied with Ace's answer, which is the best state of a recruit.

Of course, Ace is in this state, and these two people also have a lot of credit. If they hadn't arranged enough additional training, Ace's terrifying energy would probably have turned the world upside down in the headquarters.

"Hahaha~" Skyler also smiled, then looked at Bonny and asked, "Bonny? What about you? Do you have any questions?"

Being asked by Skyler suddenly, Boney also got stuck, and suddenly, she understood what happened to Ace's helpless embarrassment just now.

After holding back for a long time, Bonnie finally thought of a question and asked, "Lieutenant General Skyler, I feel that my progress is not obvious recently. For this reason, I have continued to increase the amount of training, but it still has no effect."

Bonnie’s question didn’t resonate with too many people. After all, it wasn’t long before the recruit camp opened, and almost all recruits were in the “novice welfare period”, and the progress was very fast, so it was hard to understand Bonnie’s feelings.

But now that she has raised this question, everyone also wants to hear Skyler's answer. After all, what if they encounter such a situation in the future?

Skyler did not answer quickly this time, after all, this question is really difficult, and this question is not so easy to answer.

After all, the training of physical fitness and physical skills will eventually reach this plateau stage. Countless strong people have experienced it, and each person's way of getting out of the predicament is also different, and the reference is very low.

Take Skyler herself as an example, she has also gone through this process, but since the bear slap made up for her vitality, she got through it in a daze.

Seeing Skyler gradually frowning, Bonnie began to get nervous, and she began to wonder if all her talents had been realized and she could no longer improve.

After a while, Skyler replied: "I can't give an answer that can solve your problem, but I still want to tell you that the mountains can grow big without soil; its deep.

Don't deny progress, even if it's just a little bit. "

"I see, Lieutenant General Skyler."

Bonnie nodded, keeping in mind Skyler's teachings, as well as Akainu. Skyler saw Akainu's upper and lower lips constantly opening and closing from the corner of his eye.

Taking a closer look, he was secretly reciting what Skyler had just said.

Skyler didn't care about Akainu's behavior, but looked at the recruits again. Yamato was very excited at this time, raising her hand, she thought, Skyler asked Ace and Bonnie, it's her turn to ask questions ?

Skyler's eyes moved, and Yamato pushed away from the crowd, keeping his figure in Skyler's field of vision. Skyler had no choice but to nod, and asked:

"Yamato, do you have any questions?"

"Report! I want to ask when I can defeat Kaido!"

Ace is Roger's son and Yamato is Kaido's daughter. This is no secret in the elite camp, so it is not abrupt for Yamato to ask this question.

Skyler didn't think about it this time, and said, "When you are stronger than Kaido, you will be able to defeat Kaido."

"."

"Hahaha~"

The training ground was silent for a second, and then bursts of laughter broke out. Skyler didn't even hide his perfunctory, Yamato stomped his feet angrily, and pits appeared on the ground.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Schuyler looked at the other recruits. In the following time, Schuyler answered some of the recruits' questions, most of them were about training, and some of them were about the real naval career.

Skyler answered them all, perhaps not exhaustively, but he also told them everything that should be said.

But as soon as they chatted, time would pass very quickly. Before they knew it, the bell for disbanding also rang, and Akainu realized it later, and found that he had given these recruits a two-hour vacation.

Thinking about how to get these two hours back tomorrow, thinking about whether to squeeze out the geography class or the ordnance class, Akainu walked towards the outside of the training ground.

Akainu is recognized as a banquet insulator in the navy. Even the gatherings of hawkish generals will not call Akainu, so he will never think about whether there will be any dinner parties after Skyler returns to the headquarters.

"General Red Dog."

Skyler stopped him, Akainu turned around and asked seriously, "Lieutenant General Skyler, what's the matter?"

Looking at his appearance, Skyler is always thinking about giving orders. In terms of office attitude, Akainu is simply impeccable, but this time...is not the time for office work.

"General Akainu, Lieutenant General Garp, Lieutenant General Crane, Marshal Sengoku, Teacher Zefa, me, and Ace are going to have dinner tonight. I would like to invite you to come with us."

After Skyler finished speaking, there was a trace of doubt on Akainu's face. The word dinner sounds very familiar, but what does it mean?

It took a few seconds for Akainu to fully understand Skyler's invitation, but he shook his head and said, "No need, Lieutenant General Skyler, generals' dinners are easy to be interpreted as faction wooing, I have always opposed This, so."

"I thought we were friends already."

Akainu's refusal was already expected by Skyler and Zefa, so Skyler was not surprised, but invited again euphemistically with a bit of yin and yang.

But Akainu couldn't tell what was yin and yang, but frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Lieutenant General Skyler, I think we can be called friends. But I don't understand why you think we are not."

"."

Skyler was silent, thought for a while, and asked, "How does General Yellow Ape usually invite you over for tea? I mean, what excuse did he use to trick you?"

"He said he had something important to discuss with me."

"We have something important to discuss with you tonight, and I will send you the address and time later."

After Skyler finished speaking, Akainu's face suddenly revealed a hint of contempt, and said, "Lieutenant General Skyler, do you think I'm stupid? Lied to me in front of my face?"

"Admiral Akainu, you should know that as admirals, sometimes we have to use some means, even deception, to achieve our goals."

Skyler cut the same business-like poker face as Akainu just now, and said, "It's just that I just wanted to tactfully express that I was discussing important matters with you, so I just used the excuse of having a dinner together."

Hearing this, Akazuki frowned, thought for a while, and said, "You mean you have something important to discuss with me, but you chose to use the excuse of having dinner?"

Skyler turned the whole thing around completely, but she still nodded confidently at this time, at least Akainu couldn't see that Skyler had the slightest guilty conscience.

"If that's the case, then I'll be there."

Akainu also recovered his serious poker face, nodded, and turned to leave.

After Akainu left the training ground, Zefa came over and said: "Although Sengoku often gets sick and says some weird things sometimes, he has another sentence that he speaks very well.

Your nonsense is really strong. "

Skyler showed a smile and said, "It's all Teacher Zefa, you teach well!"

"The old man didn't teach you nonsense, it was all taught by Karp and Xiaohe!"

Zefa quickly put aside the relationship, he has been an honest man all his life, and he has been an honest soldier for most of his life.

As for Karp and Crane Karp, they don't care about infamy at all. He has been scolded all the way through his naval career. That is, in the past few years, except for Skyler, a new generation of bastard, the number of scoldings for Garp has decreased year-on-year.

There is also He, others dare not add a bad name to her, so this blame will be thrown on He when the time comes, and others will know and believe it, so they can only swallow their anger and dare not speak nonsense.

But he, Zefa, can't bear this infamy. After all, he doesn't care about feathers at all like Garp, and he doesn't have scheming and methods to "retaliate" against other people like Crane.

In a few years, when he resigns from the position of chief instructor, he will be an ordinary retired veteran. If someone criticizes him, he will not be able to clarify, so he must not be involved!

Seeing Zefa's expression of unhappiness and resistance, Skyler laughed out loud. She knew that Zefa was just joking, and Zefa just showed off her face, then shook her head and returned to smiling , said:

"I'll take another person to the party tonight."

"Who is it?"

"Ian Ace, Yamato and Bonnie are the cultural class instructors."

Hearing this, Skyler also restrained his smile, looked at Zefa, and said, "Mr. Zefa, your heart is really cruel! I have to thank Ain in person tonight."
