Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

Kuzan recovered from his stiff state, half opened his eyes, and looked down. He did not see the figure in the flowered shirt. Before he could steady his body that was still flying upwards, he sensed with his observation Haki that there was an extra person behind him.

He knew that this was Mo Xingchen. Just as he was about to transform into an element to distance himself from her, he tightened his arms and found that the element transformation was ineffective!

"Haha, have you ever bungee jumped?"

He heard Mo Xingchen's voice behind his ear, and his heart stopped the next second. Kuzan opened one eye against the strong wind pressure, and saw the training ground getting closer and closer to him. He discovered that he was falling headfirst towards the ground at an extremely fast speed!

He hurriedly tried to break free from Mo Xingchen's restraints, but found that his strength was not as strong as his, and he couldn't break free. It was over. He was going to die! He was going to die!

"boom"

The impact spread in all directions, dust filled the sky, everyone opened their mouths wide, feeling the vibration from the ground, staring at the center of the field to see what the final result would be, and then the smoke cleared.

Kuzan was seen lying in the center of a huge pit with some ice crystals around him, his eyes rolled back and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, while Mo Xingchen stood casually at the edge of the pit, brushing off the dust on his body.

"Hey~~~"

When everyone saw this result, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"It's okay, he just fainted."

Mo Xingchen looked at the funny expressions of these people and said to Zefa with a smile.

In the end, he still retracted his true energy, adjusted his position, and did not let Kuzan stumble to the ground. It was just a fight, there was no need to kill anyone!

Besides, Kuzan was so polite, he revealed his ability right at the beginning, how could I be so ruthless, we are polite people! I don't think it's Kuzan's fault that he was killed in seconds, who made him pretend to be cool and underestimate the enemy.

If Kuzan knew what he was thinking at this time, he would definitely jump up and down and curse! Who underestimated the enemy! He already despised the opponent strategically and took the opponent seriously tactically.

I was using the elemental transformation from the beginning, but I never thought that Mo Xingchen would kick me stiff, and then he used a combo! Who would have thought that a new recruit from the East China Sea would have the color of armed! The power of the damn thing is so strong! I really want to pull Vice Admiral Garp's collar and ask him, you tell me this is called a captain?

"This new recruit is so powerful! Even Kuzan was defeated by him!"

"His moves look so coherent and handsome. I want to learn them!"

"Yeah, I want to learn it too. I think we either punch or chop at them, which is not cool at all!"

"That's right, we've never seen this before!"

……

The students around started to discuss at once. Dorag recognized that Mo Xingchen was the man who had questioned Roger in Roger Town. He frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Alright! Stop watching the fun and go find an opponent to train with. Fire Mountain, take Kuzan to the hospital."

Zefa stopped the students from watching and said to Mo Xingchen, "Boy, follow me!" He took Mo Xingchen to the edge of the training ground.

"Xingchen, you didn't eat the devil fruit, did you?"

"No, General Zefa, and I don't plan to eat it in the future."

"Oh? Why? Have you never encountered a devil fruit before, or do you have a target in mind?"

"I just don't want to leave myself with obvious weaknesses. Compared to the ability of the fruit, I prefer to trust my fists."

“Hahahahaha, what an ambitious man! I didn’t see much from the sparring just now. You should have awakened your Armament Haki. And where did you learn your Taijutsu? It looks pretty gorgeous!”

"Vice Admiral Garp said that I should have awakened the two-color Haki. He also taught me the six styles of the navy, and I have learned them all. As for the physical skills... I just figured them out on my own."

Mo Xingchen scratched his head and answered shyly. Zefa on the other side was not calm, this was the perfect successor he had been dreaming of!

He has perfect talent, and unlike Sakaski and Borsalino, who are too dependent on the fruit ability, Kuzan will probably develop in the same direction in the future. After all, if he doesn't work hard to develop the top-level natural devil fruit, it will be a waste. Thinking of this, he asked with a burning heart and shining eyes:

"Did Cap say when he would send you to the elite training camp?"

Mo Xingchen saw this and thought, "Are you asking me to enroll? Even after traveling through time, I still have to go to school? What's more, it's a military school!" He quickly pulled up Garp's banner,

"Lieutenant General Garp wouldn't let me go to the training camp. He said that he could teach me everything I could, and asked me to study hard with him for a few years."

Upon hearing this, Zefa became furious!

"That bastard can do nothing! He's just a reckless man. What else can he do except eating rice crackers..."

Mo Xingchen had an embarrassed look on his face, but he was actually smiling as he listened to Zefa cursing, "What a sin, Uncle Garp, I would rather die than let my friend die, you have great ability, so please help me bear the consequences!"

At this time, a soldier ran up to them breathlessly, saluted Zefa first, then turned sideways while maintaining the salute and said to Mo Xingchen: "Captain Mo, Vice Admiral Garp lets you pass."

Mo Xingchen nodded to the soldier, "General Zefa, I'll be leaving first."

Watching the two people leave, Zefa was thinking in his heart how to stop that bastard Garp tomorrow and make him send Mo Xingchen to the training camp. Such a good seedling cannot be ruined by him.

...

The soldier brought Mo Xingchen to a small villa in the officers' residential area. He walked through the small courtyard to the small building, knocked on the door twice, and said loudly, "Lieutenant General Karp, Captain Mo Xingchen has been brought here!"

"come in."

The soldier said to Mo Xingchen, "Captain Mo, please come in." Then he folded his hands behind his back and stood guard at the door.

Mo Xingchen pushed the door open and looked at the layout of the room. It was obviously a Japanese tatami style without too much decoration. Garp was sitting cross-legged on a small coffee table eating senbei and waved to him, motioning for him to come over and sit down.

"If you want tea, pour it yourself. Where have you been just now?"

"I took a look at the food in the Navy cafeteria, and then went to the training ground to have a fight."

Karp became interested when he heard this, and asked curiously:

"Who did you fight with? Did you lose or win?"

"I won the fight with Kuzan, of course. I can't embarrass you, right? He's still in the hospital!"

"Yohahahahahahaha, then you're probably going to be famous. By the way, why did you two fight?"

Karp laughed when he heard this, thinking that these two people were not troublemakers, so why would they fight? Then he looked at Mo Xingchen in confusion.

"Hey uncle, let me tell you something. At that time, I was strolling around the playground drinking coconut milk, and then General Zefa called me over and said that I was affecting their training and that my military appearance was not in good shape, so he asked me to choose someone for an actual combat confrontation.

Good fellow! I heard that you wanted to beat me up! But then I thought, I can’t embarrass you, right? I said, I’m going to beat ten of them! General Zefa didn’t believe in my strength and only chose Kuzan to fight me.

Well, this Kuzan also looked down on me, saying that he was of a higher rank than me and asked me to strike first. How could I bear this injustice? The grappling technique I just learned can spoil him? Bang, I just pressed him there!"

Chapter 8 Call me brother

"Yo hahahahahahaha, you're really good, you have the same style as I did back then! And now?"

"Later, General Zefa wanted to pull me into the training camp, but I didn't agree. I said I wanted to train under you for a few more years. General Zefa's face turned green at that time, and he kept scolding you for misleading the young people. Hahahahaha. Then you sent someone to find me, and I came back."

Mo Xingchen talked as he poured tea, and the old man and the young chatted idly.

Garp also took the opportunity to introduce him to the current core senior leaders of the navy, and told him that the current marshal intended to let his old partner Sengoku succeed him. When it was getting dark, Garp ordered the guards to go to the cafeteria to pack up the food and bring it back.

"I am back."

The two people who were chatting excitedly heard the sound and turned to look at the door. They saw a dirty Dorag changing shoes in the entrance. He looked up and saw Mo Xingchen and Karp sitting in the living room drinking tea.

After a moment's pause, he thought that although his father was a bit thick-skinned, that depended on the person. This situation was probably not an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship. It seemed that his father valued this young man very much, so he took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello, Mo Xingchen! My name is Dorag, and I'm the son of this stinky old man. I've seen you in Rogue Town before. I thought you were going out to sea to find a great treasure, but I didn't expect you to be a navy. But you looked so handsome when you beat up Kuzan today!"

Mo Xingchen looked at Dorag, who had a thumbs-up sign on his face and had no tattoos yet, and was ready to tease the boy.

"Want to learn? Call me brother and I'll teach you!"

"After dinner, let's have a fight. I'll shout if I win! It's a pity that I'm not very good at using my Armament Haki, otherwise I would have beaten Kuzan a long time ago and made him show off all day long because of his Nature Fruit."

Dorag said this with a cocky look on his face, and sat down to pour himself a cup of hot tea, which he drank in one gulp.

"Yohahahahaha, brat, go wash up first, we'll eat later."

"Long-winded!"

Dorag stood up and walked towards the shower room.

……

At night, the stars are like a dream.

Dorag and Mo Xingchen, with bruised faces and noses, were lying on the grass beside the playground.

"Brother Mo, why do you want to join the navy?"

"Well, I can't beat your father."

"Huh? What kind of excuse is that? Does that mean that if you can win, you'll become a pirate?" Dorag turned around and looked at Mo Xingchen in shock.

"No, I still have a little justice in my heart. I originally planned to be a traveler. It's my own fault that I went to ask Roger about One Piece, and then I was caught by your father. I couldn't beat him, and I couldn't run away. He fooled me, and then I came here."

Mo Xingchen held a piece of weed in his mouth, looked at the bright starry sky, and replied lazily,

"I see. Then Brother Mo, you can teach me your taijutsu from now on. It's so cool!"

"Haha, your father is obviously much better than me, why don't you let him teach you?"

"Tsk, that stinky old man doesn't know how to teach anyone, he only knows how to beat you up and let you figure it out on your own. The key is that he doesn't know how to control the strength of his blows and it hurts! Hehe, the main thing is that it's just that one punch over and over again. Being strong or not is only temporary, being handsome! That's something you'll have for a lifetime!"

Dorag said with a look of disgust.

"Hahaha, good boy, I didn't realize you have such a high level of ideological awareness! Okay! Starting tomorrow I'll give you a special meal every night."

Mo Xingchen laughed and thought, anime is just anime, this is a real world, and Dorag beside him is a living person. Young people should have the youthfulness of young people.

"Then... practice some more?"

"Come!"

.........

When he woke up the next day, Mo Xingchen found that no one was in the house. He thought that Dragon must have gone to training. As for Garp? Dragon was a major in the headquarters after all, and he had his own independent small house! It was just that when Garp returned to the headquarters, he would go to Garp's house to eat and chat after training during the day, and he would go back to his own house to sleep at night.

After Mo Xingchen finished washing up, he saw that it was almost noon, so he put on his hat and walked slowly towards the canteen to eat. Along the way, he found that there were always soldiers whispering to him.

He looked at himself and didn't see anything wrong. He touched his face and didn't feel anything unusual. When he turned around to listen carefully to what they were discussing, these people left quickly, leaving him completely confused.

He walked into the cafeteria in confusion, and after getting his meal, he heard someone calling him,

"Brother Mo, here! Brother Mo!"

He looked up and saw it was Dorag, standing on a stool and waving at him, so he raised his hand to signal him and walked towards him.

"Drago, I noticed that many people looked at me strangely today. Do you know what's going on?"

Sitting down next to Dorag, he looked at the people around him and asked,

"Hey, what else could it be? The news of you beating up Kuzan spread, and it got more and more outrageous, so everyone was curious about what kind of person you were. They even gave you a nickname, like the strongest recruit."

"Well, I thought I made some mistake. What a bullshit nickname." Mo Xingchen muttered while eating his meal. "By the way, how's Kuzan?"

"It's no big deal. He was discharged from the hospital this morning. But he probably can't do high-intensity training these days. Teacher Zefa gave him two days off. Brother Mo, what are you going to do this afternoon?"

Mo Xingchen thought for a moment, "Well... let's go see Kuzan first. After all, he got beaten up on the first day we met. Then we'll go walk around the town."

"Won't you come and watch us train?"

"What's so interesting about a bunch of grown men exercising? If we get caught by Admiral Zephyr, he'll drag me into the training camp again. I won't be back for dinner. Tell Uncle Garp when the time comes. I'll come back to train with you later. Stop talking and focus on eating!"

Not to mention, the food at the Navy Headquarters is really quite good. There are delicious dishes made by chefs from all over the place for the soldiers to choose from, and the taste is so good that even Mo Xingchen from the Celestial Empire had to give a thumbs up. There are even delicacies made by sea kings.

After eating and drinking, the two walked out of the cafeteria arm in arm. After Dorag told the approximate location of Kuzan's house, he returned to the training ground with other students. Mo Xingchen carried a bag of fruit and planned to visit our future admiral of the navy.

"Bang... Bang..." There was a knock on the door.

"coming!"

Kuzan opened the door and saw the bastard who beat him up yesterday, biting a toothpick, holding the fruit in front of his chest, and smiling at him.

"Good morning, sir!"

Kuzan looked up at the sun, which had already risen to its highest point. The corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously and he sighed silently:

"come in."

Chapter 9 Read more, sleep less

"Let's get to know each other again, Mo Xingchen."

In the living room, Mo Xingchen looked at Kuzan with a smile and held out the small gift in his hand.

As the old saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Kuzan took the fruit handed over by Mo Xingchen.

"Thank you, sit down and talk."
