Chapter 825: Able to Fight
...
"How many people do you think there are? Tens of thousands?"
Zephyr almost bit his tongue.
What does tens of thousands of people mean?
A smaller country may not have such a large population!
Among all the bases of the Navy, perhaps only a few G-level branches located in important geographical locations along the Grand Line have more than 10,000 people, while the other branches and divisions in the four seas may have only a few hundred to thousands of people.
"Am I dreaming?"
Zefa slapped his face.
Last night I was tossing and turning worrying about recruiting people, but when I woke up, there were tens of thousands of people wanting to join the NEO Navy!
Could it be that the vice admirals and base commanders that he had taught all quit the navy and led their respective troops to join him? Or did a country come to him to join him?
"Teacher, you are not dreaming, this is real!"
After taking a closer look at Ein and Binz, Zefa began to suspect that the two disciples might have dreamed about what they thought about during the day, and after waking up they could not distinguish between reality and dreams.
"Are you sure there were tens of thousands of people? Did you see it with your own eyes? Are you kidding me?"
After calming down a little, Zefa was mentally prepared to accept that it was just a joke, and confirmed with the two again.
"Well, this... person hasn't been seen yet... The person who came to negotiate said so. This is a serious matter, so we came to ask you to come forward immediately! But we didn't have time to confirm the number of people..."
"really…"
After hearing what Binz said, Zefa became more convinced of his judgment.
"Teacher Zefa, although I haven't seen him yet, I don't think he would come all the way here to play such a joke on us given his status."
Ian spoke up.
"Oh? Identity? What identity? Who is coming?"
Zefa asked curiously.
"Wait, let's talk while we walk. We have come from afar, and we can't keep our guests waiting for too long!"
Zefa said as he quickly walked out the door, followed closely by Ian and Binz, and the three of them headed towards the port.
Along the way, Ian introduced in advance the people who came to join the NEO Navy. The more Zefa listened, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
...
"Hahahahaha!"
On the main warship.
As Zefa and the other two arrived at the door of the conference hall, they heard a noise coming from the inner room.
"Not bad, not bad! Delicious!"
"Hey! Jack, that's my juicy meat! You've eaten too much!"
"Haha! What's yours? We have to follow the rules when eating. Whoever gets it first gets it. Isn't that what we always do, Bonnie?"
"boom!"
"Hahaha! You're being careless! You remembered it wrong. It doesn't belong to whoever gets it! It's yours only after you eat it!"
"Ahhh! (gulp down)"
"hateful!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Pay attention to your image, guys. Don't act like refugees who haven't eaten for days! You'll scare the kitchen staff!"
"... "
"I'll tell the kitchen to bring more food!"
Binz said and turned away.
"Crack!"
Zefa pushed open the door of the meeting room and saw a group of young people sitting around a round table, enjoying the food on the table noisily.
"Ok?"
Seeing someone coming, all the young faces turned towards them.
"Hahaha! Hello everyone! You must be the adventurers who have come to join our NEO Navy! Welcome!"
Zefa smiled and greeted everyone in the hall.
"Ouch?!"
Jack was the first to stand up. After taking a close look at the cool old man in sunglasses, he asked.
"Are you the former Navy Chief Instructor, Zephyr of the Black Arms?"
"Yes, I am Zefa Black Arm!"
Jack had a terrifying body of over 8 meters tall and over 5 meters wide. When he stood there, it was like a city wall suddenly appeared before his eyes. Even Zefa, who was 3 meters tall and was a standard admiral, could only look up.
Jack, with amazing bones and explosive physical fitness, immediately attracted Zefa's attention.
"Wait a moment!"
Zefa first looked the big man in front of him up and down carefully, and then couldn't help but touch Jack's body all over, touching here and patting there.
"What a strong and solid body!"
"Wow! Is he still a murloc? Not bad! Really very good!"
"Your name is Jack, right? You are very talented!"
A bright light flashed on Zefa's black sunglasses, and he spoke excitedly.
If we only talk about physical fitness, the big guy in front of him is definitely a leader in the entire ocean. At least among all the navy he has taught, even including those monsters like the admirals, no one's physical strength can match that of this big guy!
"what!"
Binz and Ain, who were standing at the back, were both surprised.
I didn't expect that Mr. Zefa, who is always strict and never praises anyone easily, would give such a high evaluation right from the start!
"Hahaha, what do you think, Jack? Are you interested in becoming my student and accepting my guidance?"
Zephyr asked excitedly.
"As long as you are willing to work hard, and with my guidance, your fighting talent will never be wasted! You will definitely grow into one of the top fighting forces on the sea in the future!"
The more he looked at the big guy standing in front of him, the more he liked him.
Even a reckless young man like Jack couldn't stand Zefa's scorching gaze and subconsciously took a half step back!
Zefa seemed to have seen that several years later, under his training, Jack would become a general with his super physical skills!
Hahahaha!
By then, the navy will be envious and jealous, and old guys like Sengoku and Garp will be shocked!
"Haha, you're going to guide me in fighting?"
Zephyr was still immersed in his own fantasy with a happy look on his face, but Jack, an excellent repeater who was in his rebellious youth, was already considering whether to punch him.
Even though he was beaten up quite a bit by Instructor Barrett and Instructor Kaido, Jack was not so arrogant as to think he was invincible, but he also did not think that he could not even defeat the old man in front of him.
"Crack crack crack!"
Jack clenched his fist to show respect for the elderly and love for the young, thought for a moment, then raised his chin and said arrogantly.
"Hey! Old man, are you good at fighting?"
