Chapter 164 Standing on the shoulders of giants
"Ain, I won't let you wash up today, but from now on you have to wash yourself clean before eating every day, otherwise you will turn into a female monster!"
Vic put Ian down on a chair beside him and said with a smile, placing a plate full of food in front of Ian.
"I don't want to turn into a monster, I won't turn into a monster, Vic, you just lied to me because I'm young, huh!" Ian is really smart, otherwise why did she run away alone when there were so many people at the human traffickers' place?
"What a smart little brat!" Rebecca said in a muffled voice, causing everyone to laugh.
"You will turn into a monster, and a female monster with yellow teeth and pockmarks on your face, hahaha!" Vic laughed. He was right. If you don't brush your teeth or wash your face, you will turn into this!
"I don't want it!" Ain imagined the scene. She couldn't accept it at all. She shook her head hard to get the scene out of her mind. Although she couldn't delete it with one click like Zoro, it was not bad to be able to get rid of it.
"Then you have to brush your teeth and wash your face every day to make yourself look so cute every day! Rebecca, you will be responsible for this matter from now on. If you fail to do it, you will be punished by not being allowed to eat!" Vic rubbed Ian's head and said, then threw the matter to Rebecca.
"Okay! Leave it to me!" Seeing that Vic had handed over full power to Ian, Rebecca no longer had any hostility towards Ian. What could a little kid do?
Ain didn't say anything. She knew that she was now living under someone else's roof and couldn't go too far or use other people's concern as a weapon.
Then they ate while talking, and Ian also wrapped himself in a blanket and started to eat. Vic simply accompanied them to eat, and he was indifferent to the food.
The people in the elite camp eat very quickly because they still have training tasks to do. They are the only ones in the restaurant now. Only Ian and Vic are still eating at the table, taking small bites. Rebecca and the other two just watch them chewing slowly.
"Rebecca, take Ian to the dormitory and let her get some sleep. She had too little rest last night and children can't do without sleep!" Vic said to Rebecca when he saw that Ian had stopped eating.
"Ok!"
Rebecca responded, then came over and held Ian's hand and walked towards the dormitory. During the walk, Ian looked back at Vic several times, but she still followed Rebecca. Vic cleared all the remaining food on the table before leaving the restaurant.
"Vic, what are you going to do with this child?" Zefa asked calmly on the deck.
"Like Smoker, I plan to be the guardian of this child. Now I will bring her on the warship to let her gain some experience. It will be of great help to her in the future.
I will arrange for her to go to school after she returns to the headquarters, and when she grows up, I will arrange for her to start exercising. I will train her so that she can at least protect herself in this sea when she grows up."
Vic replied softly that since he had diverted the emotions of Zefa, his favorite disciple, he must be responsible for this disciple to the end.
Vic's approach is also correct. By seeing a higher level, he can avoid many detours in the future. Standing on the shoulders of giants, he can move forward very quickly.
Just like Red Hair and Kaido, one is a trainee on the Pirate King's ship, and the other is a trainee on Rocks' ship. They have seen too many strong people, and they all know the direction to move forward very clearly, so they quickly became strong after forming their own pirate groups.
There is also Coby on the navy side. He follows the navy hero Garp and his speed of becoming stronger is not slow at all. In just over two years, he has already mastered the two-color domineering and six styles. This is the standard for a vice admiral. It may take others more than ten or twenty years to achieve this.
"Well, that's good. I think that child has great talent. We can't bury her. If you didn't want to train her, I would have sent her to the elite camp in the future."
"This is not a conflict. Let her join the elite camp when she is old enough!" Vic said with a smile.
"I'm just afraid that you will teach her all six styles of Haki before she enters the Elite Camp. What will she do in the Elite Camp then? Are you going to just mess around like you?"
Zefa joked that the way they communicated was not like that of a master and disciple, but more like that of friends. It could be said that they were both a teacher and a friend.
"I'm not as good at teaching apprentices as my teacher. Sakaski, Borsalino, and Kuzan are all about to become generals.
And the group of lieutenant generals in the headquarters, except for the very old ones, all of them are from your elite battalion,
Also, many of the school-level generals of the Sihai branch came from the elite camp, which is enough to prove your teaching level!"
Vic is not just flattering. Zefa has been the chief instructor of the recruit area since he stepped down as general more than ten years ago. He is also the instructor of the elite battalion himself. Most of the generals and lieutenant generals since then have come from his hands.
"You're exaggerating. Their current strength is mainly due to their talent and hard work. I just helped them avoid taking detours!"
Zefa said calmly that he did not take credit for himself. At this stage, he believed that training talents for the navy was his bounden duty.
Even after his hand was cut off, he had no intention of leaving the navy until the World Government was heartbroken and recruited the man who killed many of his students as a Shichibukai.
“Sometimes direction is far more important than hard work. Without a teacher to point the way forward, the result might be different!”
Vic believed that all the instructors of the elite camps were capable, otherwise they would not have served as instructors for such a long time and would have been dismissed long ago.
They may be some retired admiral-level fighters. After Zephyr left, it is estimated that Garp will be the instructor of the elite battalion.
After explaining the matter to Ian, breakfast time had passed a while ago, so Zefa began today's teaching, and Vic returned to his corner to sit cross-legged and practice.
To be honest, Vic is very busy now. He has to practice dual-color domineering, cultivate the black sword, comprehend the way of the kendo, and develop the devil fruit.
If it weren't for the fact that it was still early for the main storyline and his physical talent was not bad, he would definitely specialize in one thing, but knowing more is not without its benefits, his combat power has also increased exponentially, and his hard work has not been in vain.
Three hours had passed when Ian woke up from Rebecca's bed. She groped her way out of the cabin and stood at the door, looking at the trainees who were training on the metal deck.
Most people were standing still, but her brother who treated her injuries and her sister who had always been by Rebecca's side appeared here and then in another place the next moment.
Ian was amazed, but what surprised her even more was her sister Rebecca. She could actually step in the air as if she was flying, which really opened her eyes at such a young age.
