Chapter 187 Porusalino: I Am Really Not a Navy Worm! Robin Can Testify!
"It's Stoloberg. What's wrong? Do you have anything to do with me?"
Looking at his loyal brother who came in through the door, Porusalino asked knowingly, "Huh? This is what you are holding in your hand..."
"This is my birthday gift for you, Lieutenant General Porusalino,"
Stoloberg, who had always been paralyzed, managed a rare smile and said, "Happy birthday to you!"
"Hey, you, you, whoever among us can just wish me a happy birthday. Gifts and such are so polite!"
Xu Porusalino said this, but his face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.
Then the two chatted about useless things for a while, before Stoloberg left the gift and left.
After Stoloberg left, Porusalino immediately opened the square gift box tied with a delicate blue ribbon.
"This kid Stoloberg comes from a naval family. I remember when I first came to the Navy Headquarters, Sakaski and I used to sit in their family's private room in the Navy Mess every day... I don't know what this wealthy businessman has prepared for me. ah……"
"...Huh? This is..."
Inside the square gift box was a pair of exquisite brown sunglasses. Although there was no special decoration, the quality was quite good - Porusalino recognized the brand of this pair of glasses, which was a well-known luxury brand in the pirate world. This style is worth around one million Baileys.
"As expected of a wealthy man... It seems that the glasses of General Kizaru in the original One Piece were given by Stoloberg..."
Porusalino was very happy to put on this pair of brown sunglasses without prescription. The fashion level was slightly improved, but the level of obscenity was significantly improved.
But I have to say that he quite likes it - and these glasses may become his identity in the future like Wang Lufei's "Supreme Speed Drag" and Doflamingo's "Supreme Sunglasses".
Because the first birthday gift he received was a good one, Porusalino was looking forward to the follow-up time at work for the first time in a long time.
…
Like Porusalino, Spangdine, who is located on Judiciary Island, is looking forward to the person he is going to meet next for the first time in a long time.
"Sir, you don't need to be in such a hurry. General Zefa and the others should still be on their way at this time,"
A CP9 female agent who had had in-depth physical exchanges with Spangdyne said softly, "Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't go to greet them in person. After all, Admiral Zefa has already retreated to the second line of the Navy. Did you know? His identity and you..."
"What do you know!"
Spandaine scolded mercilessly, "Short-sighted! You are not allowed to speak for a while without my permission! Do you think I am going to greet General Zefa?"
"Eh……?"
The blond female agent was a little confused, "Didn't you say that today General Zefa will bring some of the mid-level navy students to our Judiciary Island for the first assessment? If you are not waiting for him..."
"Sir, Chief Spangdyne, we have received instructions from our superiors to open the door to justice!!"
Suddenly, a man in a black suit rushed into Spangdine's office, panting loudly, interrupting the blonde female agent.
"Are we here already? Okay! Let's go quickly!"
Spangdine immediately waved his hand to the female agent and hurriedly ran out of the office. Although the blond female agent was confused, she still followed behind.
…
"Judiciary Island? It's been a long time since I've been here!"
Standing on the bow deck of a first-class navy warship, looking at the huge door in the distance and the island behind the door through his sunglasses, General Zefa sighed softly.
Judiciary Island, the opening ceremony of the first Navy elite class was held here, and Sakaski and Porusalino, who have become the mainstays of the Navy, also showed their monster strength for the first time here.
"General Zefa, there is a report from Judiciary Island. The door of justice has been opened and we can pass directly!"
Behind General Zefa, a sailor responsible for delivering information ran over and reported to him loudly.
"Well, just go there."
General Zefa nodded slightly.
…
"It's finally here!"
The Wandering Bridge is the bridge that connects the Tower of Justice and the Gate of Justice. On the bridge, Spangdyne looks a little eager to try, with a rather expectant expression. The blonde female agent next to him was very familiar with this smile of his - this was the expression that Spangda would show when he heard about a project that could make money and communicate with her in a new way.
It is worth mentioning that although Spangdine could only last about three minutes each time communicating with female agents, he still enjoyed it and often wanted to try various new tricks. None of the female agents, headed by the blond female agent, looked down upon him secretly, but they had to eat after all, so they would do their best to praise Spangdyne's "bravery" in person.
"Sir, who are you expecting?"
The blonde female agent was a little confused. Apart from General Zefa, were there other heavyweights among the people coming this time? Or is there any one of the people who came who has a good relationship with Spangdyne?
But even if someone has a good relationship with Spangdyne, given his temperament, he would not wait so expectantly...
"I told you not to say anything without my permission!"
Spangdine first frowned and reprimanded, and then immediately chuckled and said, "Forget it, I might need you later anyway, so I'll tell you in advance... Do you still remember the O'Hara incident last time?" ?"
"...I remember, what's wrong? Sir?"
"Hmph, the person in charge of the last Operation O'Hara, Vice Admiral Porusalino of the Navy Headquarters, and his adopted sister are among the mid-level naval students waiting for the assessment this time!"
"Sir, I had a great time cooperating with Lieutenant General Porusalino last time, so the Lieutenant General's impression of me is quite good! And this time I want to leave a good impression on his adopted sister. , the little girl just needs to mention my name a little bit when she goes back... promotion and wealth will be just around the corner!"
"But sir, even if Lieutenant General Porusalino is the candidate for the World Government's highest combat power in the future, he is still..."
"So I usually tell you that if you want to get promoted and make a fortune, you have to know more about the situations behind the big shots! This Lieutenant General Porusalino has an unusual relationship with one of the most noble nobles in the world, and five The old stars also think highly of him... Even at the annual meeting of the world's nobles held in the Holy Land not long ago, only the Marshal of the Warring States Period and him were present in the Navy. Don't you understand what this big shot means? Does it have energy?"
"But usually, we have too few opportunities to come into contact with a big shot like him, and people will understand what we are thinking at once... But his adopted sister is different, the little girl is much easier to deal with. , and his words carry weight..."
"Oh, that's it. I understand. Sir, you really have foresight!"
The blonde female agent immediately pretended to be impressed.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Spandaine laughed triumphantly.
"You are so shameless, little Jessicana,"
Behind the scenes, other elite CP9 agents under Spangdyne also arrived. Some of them whispered, "She is held back in various ways when performing tasks, but when it comes to complimenting her superiors, she is better than anyone else." ."
"She is also the most powerful at that. Otherwise, why do you think she can beat so many female agents here?"
"Hey, can you not include me when you talk about these women? OK? I am different from them."
"Sister Karen, of course you are different from them. You are the elite of our CP9!"
Outside the Gate of Justice, the first-class warship on which General Zefa and others were riding approached quickly, then slowed down and docked slowly under the bridge. Then, a group of sailors wearing slightly different uniforms from ordinary navy filed down.
"Are these the instructors responsible for teaching at the Naval Academy?"
"Well, most of them are retired navy soldiers. In terms of combat experience, they are no less than us."
"I feel it, I feel murderous."
After the naval instructors who had come down first were all neatly arranged on both sides, Zefa, who was wearing the uniform of an admiral, slowly disembarked: "Spandine, the commander of CP9 and the person in charge of Judiciary Island? I'm going to trouble you this time. .”
"If so, it would be my honor to serve you and your students, General Zefa! It is also our CP9's honor!"
Spangdine walked up with a smile and hunched over, "Did only some of the intermediate class students who will be assessed this time come with you? In fact, our Judiciary Island can definitely allow more sailors to come here. It’s for the assessment!”
"Um."
General Zefa nodded. He had no desire to communicate too much with people like Spangdain, so he spoke directly: "Are you ready for the assessment venue, facilities, and personnel? In a moment, I’ll let them start right away, okay?”
Faced with General Zefa's questions, Spangdain did not dare to answer directly even if he had questions, so he still smiled flatteringly: "Of course it's no problem! But General Zefa, would you like to have a cup of tea and rest first?" Yes, after all, you came from Malinfando and it was a long journey..."
"There's no need to rest. Just arrange a place for my students to stay for a while."
General Zefa replied expressionlessly.
"Okay, no problem! Then please let them follow me for the time being!"
Although he was treated with such indifference one after another, Spangdain did not actually have too many negative emotions. He had firmly kept his identity as a dog-licking subordinate firmly in his heart. After all, he went from an ordinary CP to a CP9 officer. In addition to his father's help, Spangdain's own thick face and mean temper were also important reasons - from this perspective, this guy can be regarded as a top talent.
The mid-level naval class students who were waiting for the assessment stepped off the warship under the order of General Zefa and followed Spangdine in a neat queue to the waiting place, with Robin standing at the end of the queue. Front.
There are 25 cadets in total, accounting for a quarter of the total number of intermediate classes in the Navy. The other three-quarters of the cadets are taking assessments in other places, such as the navy's various branch bases located all over the world; and the best cadets among them were personally brought to Judiciary Island by General Zefa - on the one hand, the The assessment will be more stringent and more in line with their status as the elite among the elites. On the other hand, it will also allow them to feel the elegance of another major fortress of the World Government, enhance their sense of identification with the World Government, and gain insights at the same time.
Although I was shocked by the unique scenery of Judiciary Island when I was on the ship, the more realistic sight after getting off the ship still made the students, whose average age was less than 12 years old, widen their eyes - of course, because General Zefa They had not made any small moves to whisper about the strict discipline requirements.
Spangdine said he was leading them, but in fact it was his men who were leading the way. He himself was walking on the left side of the students' team, observing quietly and secretly.
(The little girl walking in the front is the adopted sister of Lieutenant General Porusalino. Sure enough, even General Zefa valued her so much that he let her walk in the front... This thigh, I, Spann Dyne is determined!)
If General Zefa knew what Spanda was thinking at that time, he would definitely sneer at it - although there are so-called privileged and connected households in the Navy (such as Lieutenant General Horikoshi, who has already sent the mail), most of them are based on the Ranking based on seniority based on strength. Especially in the Naval Academy he manages, strength directly determines many things including resource allocation.
Therefore, Robin is able to be at the forefront of the team not because Porusalino greeted General Zefa or because General Zefa is partial, but because Robin is indeed the best among the nearly 100 mid-level naval students. of.
Whether it was combat prowess or theoretical knowledge, Robin left the rest of the students behind. At first, Porusalino was a little worried about whether she would be bullied and isolated in school, but after he went to the academy to visit quietly a few times, he was completely relieved - basically deciding based on strength In all naval academies, both male and female cadets in the intermediate class regard the most outstanding Robin as their eldest sister, even though Robin himself has no intention of being the leader.
Moreover, it can even be said that many students in the senior class and even the graduating class of the Naval Academy also recognized Robin.
…
Under the leadership of Spangdyne and his CP9, General Zefa and the 25 intermediate class students quickly passed the front island and arrived at a large lounge on the main island.
Although Spangdain wanted to directly get in touch with Robin, who he considered to be his thigh, General Zefa didn't want him to be an eyesore in front of him, so he directly asked him to prepare for the next assessment. In desperation, Spangdain could only leave here angrily.
After Spangdyne and his men left, General Zefa gave these students the order to move freely here for the time being.
Although they are said to be the best mid-level naval cadets, the oldest among the 25 of them is only 14 years old, so they can still be considered children. Therefore, after General Zefa's free movement order was issued, they quickly gathered in small groups in twos and threes to talk about what they had seen and felt along the way and the assessment to be conducted next.
Robin also chatted with the two students with whom she had the closest relationship.
"Hey, Robin, do you think our assessment will be conducted as a single person or as a team? Tina is very worried..."
Although she has medium-long pink hair like Mirai, the person who spoke at this time - Tina, the person with superhuman threshold fruit ability, is not the strong lady who smokes and wears sunglasses in later generations, but an ordinary person. Wearing a simple striped dress and white shoes, this little loli has a soft voice and a soft personality.
By the way, Porusalino also recognized Tina when he went to the Naval Academy to pick up little Robin home. At that time, his mind was filled with the weird idea that "the sore throat is indeed caused by smoking"...
As for a smoking man who preferred smoking, Porusalino didn't notice him - maybe like him before, this guy should still be in the Sihai branch and has not been recommended to Marineland yet.
"Well, I think it will be in the form of a team,"
After Robin thought for a while, he stroked his chin with his right hand and said, "After all, we have fought against each other individually many times before, and team battles have only been fought three times so far. Didn't Teacher Zefa say that? Have you ever thought about it? For sailors, although individual strength is crucial, cooperation between each other is also extremely important..."
"Tina hopes to form a team so that she can be with you, Robin!"
"Although I also want to be with you, Tina, I think you should not have too high expectations, Tina. If we form a team, it might be randomly assigned, and Teacher Zefa will most likely Separate the two, after all, the combination of your threshold fruit and my flower fruit is too powerful..."
Hearing what Robin said, the boy with a red bellyband on the side - Zhan Momomaru (14 years old), currently the oldest in the navy's intermediate class, couldn't help but shudder.
——That was when his relationship with Robin and Tina was not so good. The Navy's intermediate class conducted its first team confrontation training. Two people were in a group, and the team composed of Tina and Robin faced off. Zhan Momomaru and another student formed a group.
At the beginning of the confrontation, Zhan Momomaru wanted to use his strongest physical fitness among his peers since he was a child to force his way forward. As a result, Tina first used the threshold fruit to control him, and Robin immediately used the flower fruit to make up for it. Control and then add the move "Tao Zhe Attack"...
Then nothing happened. Zhan Momomaru, who claimed to be the strongest defensive man in the Naval Academy and would become the strongest defensive man in the world, fell down so easily. It was less than a minute before the battle started—— The scream he made when he fell directly caused another of his teammates to tremble and choose to admit defeat, and all the male students watching around couldn't help but tighten their legs.
Even General Zefa, who acted as the referee and safety officer, couldn't help but be shocked - he remembered the "armed finger gun thousand years of killing" that Porusalino once used against him... How should I put it, it was worthy of being said. The adopted brothers and sisters, Porusalino and Robin's attacks are all so insidious and deadly.
From then on, Zhan Momowan put down his arrogance and recognized Robin and Tina as his eldest sisters. In the next few team training sessions, he joined them without even thinking - just join if you can't beat them, there's nothing to be ashamed of, this is the so-called secret to becoming a strong person!
"I agree with Robin's point of view. Tina, the combination of you and her fruit ability is too strong. Even I, the man with the strongest defense in the Naval Academy, can't resist it..."
"If possible, I don't want to attack like that..."
Robin said helplessly, "But the attack power of the flower fruit is too weak, and my physical fitness is not as good as yours."
"Tina thinks this situation will improve in the future. Didn't Teacher Zefa say that to the best people in our assessment this time, he will personally teach the Sixth Form of the Navy... Robin, what will you choose to learn then? ah?"
"Well...if I had the chance, I would probably choose to learn to point the gun."
Zhan Taowan couldn't help but shuddered again - Robin just pinched his little hand made of Huahua fruit, and he was in pain for several days. And if Robin learned how to point the gun again, then a beating...
Oh, it's a big deal, the man with the strongest defense in the world can remove the word "man".
Zhan Momomaru, who didn't want to dwell too much on this topic, immediately changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, Robin, I remember you said that today is Lieutenant General Porusalino's birthday?"
"That's right. Alas, I don't know how long our assessment will take today... What if we can't make it to his birthday party?"
Robin said with a grimace.
"It's okay Robin, Tina will help you make a quick decision when the time comes!"
Tina waved her little fist and spoke firmly.
"Thank you, Tina. By the way, if you can make it by then, Tina and Zhan Momomaru, you can go to brother Polusalino's birthday party with me."
"Is it really possible?"
Zhan Momomaru was very moved, "I've wanted to talk to Lieutenant General Porusalino for a long time! He is my idol!"
"Tina wants to go too! Lieutenant General Porusalino is super cool!"
"Of course you can, but you have to accompany me to pick up the birthday gift I bought for him first."
Robin smiled slyly.
"Birthday gift? It's..."
"Everyone assemble! The assessment will begin immediately!"
General Zefa's order interrupted Tina's unfinished words. The 25 students in the intermediate class to be assessed, including Robin, immediately stopped smiling and relaxed, lined up in a neat array, and entered into battle preparations.
Seeing this, General Zefa nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I hope you all will perform well in the next assessment. On the one hand, this is an examination of your own learning and training during this period, and it is related to my assessment of Your future training plan; on the other hand, this is also a contest between our naval cadets and CP9 cadets, and it is related to the honor of our navy."
"Follow your seniors, follow the example of Lieutenant General Posakarski and Major General Kuzan, and go all out! Everyone! Follow me now!"
