It has to be said that, to some extent, the system and the penguin are comparable.
After years of research into Armament Haki and Observation Haki, the Navy simplified them, resulting in the Six Styles of Naval Power that are now widely used by lower-ranking officers in the Navy.
Despite its flaws, Iron Body, as a watered-down version of Armament Haki, is not a defense that three teenagers can break through at the moment.
Yang Ming could feel that when he used the Iron Body technique, the muscles in his body became extremely firm in an instant. At the same time, under the resonance of Flame Breathing and Six Treasures Immortal Thief, his Iron Body also underwent a subtle change, becoming three points harder than the Iron Body technique used by ordinary naval personnel.
I have to say, this was a pleasant surprise.
Iron block making is a skill that comes from the inside out, and in the navy, only officers of the field rank have the opportunity to come into contact with it.
Generally speaking, to learn the skill of iron weights, one needs a solid physical foundation; otherwise, it is easy to fail.
Watching Drake and the other two hammer away for ages without breaking through his defenses, even getting red-faced and swollen from exhaustion, Yang Ming stretched and said:
"My sons, you're giving your father a good massage, give him a little more pressure!"
Drake and his two companions were so angry that they couldn't even speak.
Look at Yang Ming's blissful expression. Aren't they just three dutiful sons giving their father a back massage?
They knew perfectly well that Yang Ming had tricked them!
Of all times, Tina had to bring up the very thing she didn't want to talk about:
"Is this what male friendship is like? I love it!"
The three men's faces darkened, and they immediately stopped and slunk away.
If we don't run away now, do we think we're not embarrassed enough here?
Tina raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair that had fallen beside her ear, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yang Ming. She felt that the boy in front of her was shrouded in a layer of mist, which aroused her desire to delve deeper and explore the mist.
She leaned down, the tight silk clothing outlining the exaggerated curves of her body.
"Yang Ming, I want to sincerely apologize to you. I didn't know that Drake would actually do something so outrageous to you. This is all my dereliction of duty."
A pleasant fragrance wafted towards Yang Ming, and then he felt a slight coolness on his forehead.
Tina covered her lips, her ears burning red, and said shyly:
"Consider this my sincere apology. You're not allowed to dislike it, after all... it was my first kiss!"
After saying that, Tina turned and left.
Watching the receding figure, Yang Ming touched the lipstick mark left on his forehead, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Are all girls in this world this precocious?
People's values are influenced by their physical appearance, and Yang Ming was no exception. He found it hard to be angry with this enthusiastic and lively young woman.
After the music ended and everyone left, Yang Ming was the only one left in the dormitory. Only then did he leisurely survey his future home.
The four-person dormitory, strictly speaking, should be a two-bedroom, one-living room dormitory. Each room has two beds with soft mattresses and matching bedding.
The living room isn't very big, about 30 square meters, with a sofa and a coffee table. Various snacks are placed on the table. The living room connects to a balcony, where an iron rack is placed for drying clothes.
Standing on the balcony, you can see a vast blue sea, with the sunset gradually fading on the horizon.
Sometimes, Yang Ming would reminisce about the days in his previous life when he had air conditioning, computers, and cell phones. Now, after washing his clothes in the dormitory, he could only sit on his bed and meditate to pass the time.
For the vast majority of trainees, after their grueling daily training, there are only a few ways to kill time: playing cards or gossiping.
Gossip spreads quickly among students, and the conflict that occurred in dormitory building 601 was soon widely reported.
The dormitory building houses not only this year's cadets, but also cadets from the previous two years. They are only allowed to graduate from the naval academy after achieving certain results.
Graduating from the Naval Academy is not easy. The assessment content is different every year. It may involve hunting large sea kings on your own or chasing down famous pirates in the Grand Line. If you fail to complete the assessment, you can only continue to study at the academy.
Within a single night, all the students in the dormitory building knew that a formidable new student had arrived in this year's class.
The next day.
As soon as Drake arrived on the training ground, all the trainees looked at him and smiled.
Some people shouted, "Drake, how did you lose to Yang Ming again?"
Drake sullenly pretended not to hear.
Then someone deliberately shouted loudly, "Drake, what's it like being a child's son?"
Drake's eyes widened, and he angrily rebuked:
How could you slander someone's innocence like this!
Drake's face turned red, his neck bulged, and several veins bulged on his forehead. He then went on to say some more repetitive things.
"So what if we win or lose temporarily? Can we consider it a loss when it comes to the navy?"
At this moment, everyone burst into laughter.
The air inside and outside the playground was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Chapter 15 Awakening, hunting time
Two months have passed in a flash.
White clouds drift lazily by, and seabirds occasionally take flight.
Five warships cut through the white waves and sailed on the Great Sea Route.
These five warships were smaller than normal warships, serving as training ships for naval academy cadets. They were 19.5 meters long, 7.95 meters wide, with a draft of 3.35 meters and a displacement of 180 tons, and were equipped with 10 cannons.
In terms of combat power alone, these five training ships are probably not as strong as some large pirate crews.
However, what is lost on one front is gained on another; the training ship is small and light, and its speed is much faster than that of ordinary warships.
When Yang Ming stepped onto the deck, he could clearly sense the complex gazes of the other trainees.
Humans are a peculiar group. When you are too outstanding and stand out from the crowd, you will be ostracized by your peers. But when you leave everyone far behind, you will not only not be envied, jealous, or hated, but you will be admired by others.
During the two months of grueling training, a small number of trainees could not withstand the immense pressure and chose to drop out of the naval academy midway, while many more chose to grit their teeth and persevere.
Among the trainees who remain, a small group will always stand out.
Even among this small group of people, Yang Ming's brilliance was undeniable.
In high-intensity physical training, swordsmanship training, boxing training, and shooting training, Yang Ming consistently achieved top results in every training program.
It's hard to imagine that this child seems to possess boundless energy.
After a day of grueling training, most trainees were so exhausted they could barely lift a finger, but Yang Ming was an exception; he continued training into the night.
The trainees' initial hostility towards Yang Ming gradually changed.
Now, many students regard Yang Ming as their role model and strive to emulate him!
Ignoring the stares of others, Yang Ming went straight to Chief Instructor Zefa.
In the hands of Chief Instructor Zefa, there was a bounty poster.
The bounty poster features a young man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, sporting a strange hairstyle resembling fox ears. His chin is held high, and he looks at others with a sidelong glance, revealing a hint of arrogance.
Foxy the Silver Fox, with a bounty of 2400 million Berries.
At the same time, this is also the target of practical courses.
When Chief Instructor Zephyr saw Yang Ming arrive, perhaps because he was convinced that Yang Ming was Garp's illegitimate son, he felt a desire to test him and asked:
"Yang Ming, do you know why I chose Foxy the Silver Fox as the hunting target for this practical training course?"
Information was scarce within the naval academy, making this an unsolvable problem for ordinary cadets.
Fortunately, the naval academy has a day off every Sunday, which allows Yang Ming to keep in touch with Kap regularly.
As a high-ranking officer in the Navy, even the information that Garp reveals through his fingers is highly confidential intelligence that is rare to outsiders.
Not to mention, Garp intended to groom Yang Ming into a future senior naval officer, and he had no intention of hiding it from him. On the contrary, he often dumped his unfinished official duties on Yang Ming for help, allowing Yang Ming to get a glimpse of the current situation from the vast sea of books.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Ming recalled seeing a file that recorded several incidents of pirate crews disappearing en masse in the Grand Line recently, which seemed to highly overlap with the sea area that the training ship was heading to this time.
If it weren't for Chief Instructor Zefa's question, Yang Ming wouldn't have connected the two events. Now, he suddenly senses a deeper meaning behind them.
Recalling the original work, Foxy the Silver Fox enjoyed engaging in a kind of gambling game with other pirate crews, using this method to plunder their crew members and ships, thereby constantly strengthening his own forces.
With this in mind, Yang Ming immediately understood.
"Could it be that Foxy the Silver Fox is plundering members of other pirate crews in these surrounding waters?"
Upon hearing this, Chief Instructor Zefa's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation.
Chief Instructor Zefa rolled up the bounty poster in his hand, his eyes gazing intently at the vast, blue sea ahead, and said:
"At your age, it is truly remarkable that you were able to learn this information by peeling back the layers of the case."
"However, you only know one side of the story, not the other."
"According to a secret investigation by the Navy Headquarters' special forces, Foxy the Silver Fox has had close ties with Donquixote Doflamingo in recent years. At the auction of Donquixote Family's shares in the Sabaody Archipelago, a batch of pirate goods also appeared."
"Therefore, the Navy Headquarters now has reason to suspect that Donquixote Doflamingo is expanding his business in the underworld again. This is not something the Navy Headquarters wants to see. We can no longer afford the cost of a strong person emerging in the New World, let alone the birth of an uncontrolled Shichibukai."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ming suddenly understood.
A year ago, Doflamingo seized Dressrosa through cunning and force.
With control of an entire country, Doflamingo is the most powerful among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
If it is allowed to continue developing, it will become too big to handle and may even threaten the navy.
However, because Doflamingo is a Celestial Dragon and now a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea recognized by the World Government, the Navy cannot openly target him. Otherwise, it would give them leverage, break the rules of the game, and cause unnecessary chaos.
That's why they took this action.
Under the guise of practical training, they attacked Foxy the Silver Fox, thereby crippling Doflamingo's power and subtly warning the Donquixote Pirates to make Doflamingo more cautious.
It must be said that this strategy was very ingenious.
The problem is that Yang Ming is familiar with the development of the plot and knows very well that even when the plot officially begins, Foxy the Silver Fox is still active on the Grand Line until he encounters Luffy and then his life is in jeopardy.
Moreover, Doflamingo's business in the underworld not only did not suffer any setbacks, but expanded in an exaggerated way. Doflamingo's business was found all over the world, the Grand Line, and even the New World, involving transactions such as arms, unknown drugs, Devil Fruits, and human trafficking.
This means that the navy's original plan was good, but the actual operation went wrong, ultimately leading to failure.
My wife does it!
There are female naval officers in the Navy Headquarters!
