Chapter 024
Night, cloudless, bright moon, starry.
On the deck of the dog-headed warship, a silver-haired boy in a naval uniform, facing the gentle sea breeze, constantly waving the autumn leaf knife in his hand, and conducting basic knife training.
Thirteen thousand times a day, he has been doing so for twenty-five days.
It’s a very boring and monotonous process, but for him, the gains are not bad.
On the tenth day, he mastered flexible knife holding skills, and on the twentieth day, he mastered how to swing the knife better.
Next, he wanted to turn the use of a knife into an instinct….
Click! Click! ……
Karp, who was dressed in a white justice coat, came out of the cabin with a pack of senbei in his hand, and he bit the senbei in his mouth with a click.
And behind him is the adjutant Bogart, who is always with him.
“Aha! Sephiroth, are you a little ghost? ”
Lieutenant General Karp, Lieutenant Colonel Bogart.”
Sephiroth stopped the movement of his hand, nodded to the two, and said hello.
“Bogart, you go and have a few tricks with him.” Karp said with interest.
Hearing this, Bogart raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, before slowly pulling out the long knife in his left hand and facing the silver-haired boy, he made a starting pose.
Sephiroth did not talk nonsense, he also raised the autumn leaf knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at the other party.
At this time, he had a feeling like he was on his back, as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast that chose to devour people.
In his heart, there was a kind of hesitation that he couldn’t start.
Swish!
The knife flashed.
He didn’t move, but Bogart swung his knife first, stabbing it at an extremely tricky angle.
Sephiroth’s eyes flashed red, and he instantly opened the domineering color, predicted the opponent’s attack trajectory, and blocked it with a sword.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
……
Bogart’s attack was faster than a knife, but he was still calm and calm, and with his domineering appearance, he blocked.
But….
On the contrary, he simply could not find an opportunity to attack.
Seeing this scene, Karp was eating senbei, and he couldn’t help but pause, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Sephiroth’s pace is too messy, he is simply a layman in battle, but every time he blocks, he seems so calm…
Has this stinky boy awakened to see and smell domineering…?
Bogart, as a master of swordsmanship, also discovered the problem of his opponent after several rounds of temptation.
Therefore, in the process of attacking, he deliberately revealed a flaw that was not very obvious.
The next moment.
As expected, Sephiroth, who finally found an opportunity to attack, immediately swung his knife and slashed without hesitation.
And yet….
Shave!
Bogart’s figure suddenly flashed and disappeared into his eyes.
When the boy still maintained his inertia and swung the knife downward, the other party had already put the back of the knife on his neck from behind.
While “clicking” and eating senbei, Karp commented: ”
The talent is very good, but there is no slightest combat experience and skills….
Bogart, this imp is left to you for training.
After that, he turned around and walked into the cabin.
“When fighting, you need to learn to judge when it is the time to attack and when it is the enemy’s deliberately exposed flaws…”
“Although seeing and hearing the domineering can make it easy for you to predict the enemy’s offensive actions, but what you need to know is that the domineering can also be deceived….
The enemy can make your sights misjudge through feints and tricks…”
Bogart also demonstrated several basic movements to help him understand.
……
“In the course of combat, unless the opponent’s strength gap is too large, it is very necessary to carry out a tentative attack…”
Bogart is a person who does not like nonsense.
Therefore, what he said, the actions shown, were basically the main points of skill, so Sephiroth listened very carefully.
Compared with the fighting talent party of the three boyar sisters, they only know how to fight, but do not know how to teach people, but Bogart has a very systematic way of guidance, so that Sephiros can learn twice as much with half the effort.
After the explanation, Bogart passed a few more tricks with him before turning away from the deck and returning to the cabin to sleep.
Sephiroth walked into the cabin after completing the remaining knife swing, took a shower, and slept deeply on the bed in the cabin dormitory.
Karp, this bad old man, probably saw it, he is a Devil Fruit ability, and when he fought with pirates, he performed well, so he would let Bogart guide his cultivation…?
……..
The next day, around noon.
Guided by the permanent pointer, the dog-headed warship arrived at the G3 branch of the Navy.
This is an island of more than ten square kilometers, only the buildings of the naval base, and there are no ordinary houses, unless it is guided by a permanent pointer or someone’s life card to navigate, otherwise it is impossible to find the island by relying on the record pointer.
In this way, the concealment of the naval base is guaranteed to the greatest extent.
On the contrary, if the pirates also use similar islands as a base point, it will be difficult for the navy to find the location of the enemy’s old nest unless it accidentally discovers it while cruising.
In this world, the reason why pirates will flood, in addition to the surface of this planet, which is covered by nearly ninety percent of the sea, is caused by its very chaotic magnetic field on the Great Shipping Route.
On the Great Passage, once the other party’s ship is out of sight, people use permanent pointers to sail towards an island, and you don’t know where the other party’s final destination is.
In this case, after being pulled away, continuing to chase is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack and working in vain.
So, over time, many pirates began to actively or passively enter the haven of the Great Channel, and Roger’s last words before his death caused the number of pirates to skyrocket, thereby increasing the number of pirates in the Great Channel….
By the time the dog-headed warship entered the base port, rows of naval soldiers were already standing on the pier.
“Lieutenant General Karp, hard work!”
Among the soldiers, a colonel with a mustache bowed respectfully towards Karp, who came down from the gangway.
This time, Karp did not fall asleep, or become an old combi, but said with a serious face:
“There are more than three hundred pirates on the warship, as well as an able person, you take it down and deal with it.”
Other than that…… In this battle, seven soldiers were killed, you go and arrange it.
“Yes! Under the guarantee to arrange well. Hearing
this, Colonel Bazi Hu also replied with a serious face.
After Karp left, Sephiroth and other recruits were gathered on the dock to wait for the assignment.
In addition to their group of recruits, there were also recruits who were recruited from other islands, and they came down from different warships one after another.
After waiting for more than half an hour, a man in his early twenties wearing a navy-standard uniform stood in front of Sephiroth and the others.
He has two scars on the left side of his forehead and a scar on the left frame of his eye.
“I’m Corporal Kong Ming. From now on, I will be the squad leader of your recruits. The scar-faced man said with a serious look.
Sephiroth:
“…”Shouldn’t this guy be the vice admiral of the navy headquarters who almost destroyed the Straw Hat Pirates in the future by relying on stratagem…?
