Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 85 Training Camp

In early 1518 of the Sea Calendar, Moke, the overlord of the East Blue, fought a solo battle against Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the bounties of East Blue pirates began to rise.

then……

Then, that was it.

Since the last East Blue Pirate Feast, the East Blue pirates have once again entered a period of decline!

Of course, none of this has anything to do with the 16th Naval Division.

Once the mission is complete, exchange the money if you need to, or swindle military funds if you need to.

Even because of this operation, after hearing that the overlord of the East Blue was reviving the glory of the East Blue pirates, Smoker, who had originally received a support mission from the Marine Headquarters, turned around and left without hesitation, without even coming.

They even cooperated with the 16th Naval Division afterward, submitting a damage report to headquarters.

This is the tacit understanding we've developed over this period of time!

Even Shacher couldn't help but sigh, realizing that Smoker, who used to be independent, unruly, and strictly businesslike, had now become so slick.

now.

Xia Che looked with satisfaction at the bustling training camp of the 16th Naval Branch, where the trainees were working hard in training today.

Currently, the main instructors at the Navy's 16th Division training camp are Kuina, Crowe, and outsourced staff member Daz Bonis.

Kuina teaches Kendo and the breathing technique adapted by Shattrath.

Kro taught Silent Step, along with some of his own techniques and his understanding of the Navy's Six Styles - Shave.

As for Daz Bones, although most of his abilities rely on his Devil Fruit, he also knows quite a bit about martial arts.

Therefore, the main programs of the 16th Naval Branch Training Camp include Kendo, Martial Arts, Naval Six Styles, and Kuro's Silent Step.

The only regret is that... learning the Six Styles of the Navy requires a certain amount of talent, and even now, not many people have mastered it.

Moreover, there are still too few instructors in the 16 branches.

Especially the Navy Six Styles... Even the most exhausted instructor, Kuro, is only just beginning to understand the Navy Six Styles.

As for the others...

As for Kuma... he developed his abilities through Devil Fruits, so he can't teach much.

As for Moke, needless to say, it would be quite difficult for him to teach others.

To be fair, this guy does have some talent in certain aspects.

For example, the Iron Body in the Navy Type 6 was learned quite well.

This is why Xia Che made him the captain; learning how to use Iron Block to fight in the East China Sea dungeon is enough.

However, Xia Che's talent for dealing with iron blocks also caused him considerable worry.

After all, as everyone knows, this iron block is a bit... problematic!

"BOSS".

"Oh, it's Kuro!" Xia Che, who was feeling melancholy, looked at Kuro, who had appeared silently behind him, and nodded slightly. "It seems you've developed the power of the Silent-Silent Fruit quite well."

"Thank you for your recognition, Boss." Kroto adjusted his glasses and nodded with a smile.

He had to admit that this fruit... he felt was very suitable for him.

Now his assassination skills have improved dramatically, and he has also developed many abilities thanks to the fruit.

only.

"Focusing on developing your Devil Fruit abilities is fine, but don't forget about training your physical abilities." Xia Che thought for a moment and then added, "To become a strong person, your body is also very important."

And it's domineering!

As a certain teacher once said, domineering spirit is what transcends everything.

Awakening Haki is not so simple. Ordinary people can obtain Armament Haki and Observation Haki through training and can continuously improve them, but they can only reach a higher level in actual combat when they reach a certain limit.

Both "Conqueror's Haki" and "the highest level of Observation Haki" are innate and cannot be acquired through training. In fact, the highest level of Observation Haki is even rarer than Conqueror's Haki.

Furthermore, being domineering isn't something you can just learn at will.

To be honest, Branch 16 doesn't have any special instructors who teach domineering skills.

Even for cadets within the Navy Headquarters, let alone the 16th Branch, awakening Haki is not so easy.

I've heard that everyone in the Amazon Lily Kingdom is proficient in Armament Haki and even has their own training methods, but I don't know if that's true.

One can imagine.

Don't be fooled by the abundance of domineering individuals in the new world; domineering isn't something easily learned.

This is why Teacher Kai was later respected by so many people!

After briefly explaining the training direction, Kuro also fell into deep thought. As someone who had developed a silent footwork technique on his own that was no weaker than one of the Navy's Six Styles, "Shave," Kuro was quite clever.

Perhaps his talent isn't as strong as that of a certain pink-haired guy, but I believe that what hindered him from becoming stronger in the early stages wasn't hard work or talent, but rather his vision.

not to mention……

How many people in the entire ocean can compare to that pink-haired girl?

"I understand. I'll ask Mr. Big Bear for advice later," Chloe said earnestly.

He was also very aware of the importance of physical fitness. For example, a guy with a very strong natural Devil Fruit was knocked down by a big, dumb guy with a single stick.

That's so embarrassing!

Kro didn't want to end up like that.

Although I have many thoughts and questions in my mind, now is not the time to ask them.

Instead, he looked at Xia Che and asked, "Boss, what brings you here...? Is there anything you need?"

"It's nothing, I just came to see how everyone's training is going." Xia Che waved his hand, looked at the group of people training diligently in front of him, and then pondered for a moment, "With so much territory, perhaps it's time to expand this place a bit more."

"It really should be expanded, but..." Kro hesitated for a moment, "If we expand further, this place will no longer be suitable, and besides..."

As he spoke, a hint of melancholy crept into his voice as he looked at the students before him.

"We don't have enough manpower!"

"..."

Hearing what Kro said, Shacher sighed and nodded helplessly.

Kro was right; after all, this was just a naval branch.

Strictly speaking, he has already violated the personnel requirements stipulated by the Navy Headquarters. Although many naval personnel have graduated in recent years, this number is still insufficient, not to mention the entire ocean, even the East China Sea.

If we want to expand enrollment, the training camp must be expanded further.

And not only that, they don't even have enough instructors.

Actually, the requirements for branch instructors don't need to be that strict; a little training is enough. But it's different for Branch 16.

Moreover, Kro also has another meaning... talented students are extremely rare!

Xia Che had also considered this matter...

If you lack talent, use potions to make up for it!

Vegapunk has already begun researching drugs to enhance physical abilities and skills.

At the time, Vegapunk also said why not just clone super soldiers directly, because he believed that using Kuma as a template would definitely allow him to clone some decent warriors!

This is faster and more convenient.

To be honest, he wanted to too!

Don't be fooled by how the Peacekeeper was easily defeated by the Supernovas; those pirates who can be called Supernovas are no ordinary people.

Perhaps the peacekeeper is no match for a truly powerful opponent, but he is more than enough to deal with most pirates and the navy.

Unfortunately, the cost is too high, so we simply can't afford to do it right now.

As for Seraphs... they're even more expensive and unaffordable, and currently there's no Lunarian bloodline factor available, so they can't be created even if you wanted to.

It would be more practical to have the trainees work harder and then take some drugs.

At least in the ocean there is no shortage of people who want to work hard, and in this world, hard work may not make you a truly top-notch expert, but it is enough to become one.

"Is that so? As expected of the BOSS, you've already come up with a solution!" Kro exclaimed in admiration to his new BOSS, then asked curiously, "By the way, I heard that our 16th branch is already building its own shipyard?"
