Chapter 96 Blockade Inspection

At the port.

On the warship, the students of the elite training camp are returning to the assembly one after another.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zefa came out of the cabin, his expression as serious as before:

"Are you all here?"

A military academy instructor answered.

"Report to the chief instructor, there should be 54 people, but there are actually 53 people, one person is missing."

After a quick glance at the team, Zefa did not see the dark figure.

Although the student Veroch always likes to solve problems violently, it is undeniable that Veroch is still a member of the elite training camp.

Zefa walked in front of everyone and swung his mechanical arm, making a huge crisp sound.

"Has anyone seen Veroch?"

Most of the students shook their heads: "Report, no one has seen him."

Tina said: "Teacher Zefa, Vice Admiral Jiyuan and Vice Admiral Kaji are searching the area where Veroch disappeared, but there is still no news."

Hearing this, Zefa frowned, and a hint of uneasiness rose in his heart.

"All instructors, go find him together."

As an ancient animal-type devil fruit user, Veroch is one of the key personnel trained by the Navy, and Zefa cannot ignore him.

"Yes."

The returning instructors responded in unison.

...

In order to find the missing Veroch.

The Kingdom of Valleran once again welcomed this group of instructors.

In order to avoid the same accident, the trainees of the elite training camp just waited quietly for news with Zefa on the ship.

Night fell.

Coles meditated in the cabin and rested at three in the morning.

When he woke up the next day.

The instructors still didn't come back, and the trainees also felt something was wrong.

Zeff also contacted the king of the Kingdom of Valleran and broadcasted on the loudspeaker in the kingdom, asking Veroch to return to the port quickly.

However, even when the sun set, there was still no movement.

Today, this is the third night the warship has spent here.

The cold wind blows outside.

In the cabin of the warship, the dim lights kept swaying, emitting the light of oil lamps.

Zefa sat on the chair, his left elbow propped on the table, frowning and thinking.

He couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Verohe hasn't been found in this period of time, which means that Verohe is not simply missing or disappeared, but may have been killed.

Zefa couldn't help but slap the table with his left hand, releasing his anger, and then the anger on his face disappeared, and turned into self-blame.

This is his negligence!

He shouldn't let other students participate in the task of finding the silver dragon.

For the death of students, the elite training camp actually has a death standard, after all, there are many uncontrollable factors during training.

It's just that Zefa had experienced the pain of losing all the students on the recruit ship before, which made him unable to face the death of students now.

Although Zefa didn't like Verohe, a student who liked to solve problems with violence, he still felt a little heartbroken after Verohe might die.

Because this is a student he taught!

...

When Coles woke up again.

He keenly noticed that the atmosphere on the entire warship had changed.

The fog on the sea had not yet dissipated.

On the deck of the warship, the students were gathered together again. There was no other instructor around, only Zefa.

Zefa's body was still as burly as ever, wearing sunglasses, making it difficult to see his expression.

But Coles faintly discovered that Zefa's momentum seemed to have aged a little.

Zefa's heavy voice made the students on the scene depressed.

"Now I tell you a very bad news. Your instructor still hasn't found Veroch, so Veroch may be dead."

The students couldn't believe it.

Veroch, the strongest student except Coles, who possessed the ability of the ancient devil fruit, might have died!

Coles was silent.

Hearing that Veroch might be dead, he was still a little touched.

After all, it was because of the battle with Veroch that his swordsmanship could successfully enter the realm of cutting iron.

Later, during the physical training in the training camp, although Veroch always competed with him, this also made him competitive and full of enthusiasm.

He felt a little regretful about the sudden disappearance and death of such a powerful opponent.

Zefa's voice came again, and this time it was heavier.

"Now, I'll give you a task. Set up a blockade at the port and strictly examine all people coming and going. If you find anyone suspicious, report it immediately."

"Do you understand?"

The fifty-three trainees immediately raised their hands and saluted, with very standard postures.

"Understood!"

...

The king of the Kingdom of Valleran was also notified of the blockade and inspection.

While expressing his deep apologies, the king also cooperated with the navy to conduct strict port inspections.

As one of the member states of the World Government, the Kingdom of Valleran did not join by relying on its strong national strength. It was only accepted because of its rich tobacco production.

It can even be said that.

This country is a weak country. Their citizens are weak because of long-term smoking, and they can't compete with the power of other countries at all.

The only resource they can show is tobacco.

The current king also wanted to get rid of this embarrassing situation, and they used a lot of money to build up armed forces.

However, due to the pressure from neighboring countries and the obstruction of various factors, it was always impossible to succeed.

The reason why the Kingdom of Valleland still maintains a stable status quo is because it has joined the World Government and has strong naval support.

Now that one of the most elite trainees in the elite training camp of the Navy Headquarters may be killed in the country, the king will naturally take action.

So he agreed without hesitation to the naval blockade and review of the port.

At the same time, the king also sent forces to search for possible murderers in the country.

Suddenly, the entire Kingdom of Valleland fell into a tense and dull atmosphere.

…

Boom, boom, boom!

The footsteps of a group of king's troops were heard, looking for suspicious people on the city streets.

At this time, Nicole Robin was looking for the books she needed in a bookstore, and she keenly discovered that the outside world was unusual.

After learning everything that happened outside through the fruit's ability, she couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking and analyzing quickly in her mind.

The elite navy has mysteriously disappeared!

Unexpectedly, such a special thing happened in the Kingdom of Valleland.

It seems that we need to leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise the situation here will become more and more severe.

For a moment, she thought of the young marine she met before, but since he could deal with powerful natural Devil Fruit users, he probably wasn't.

Robin put his sunglasses back on.

After buying a book from the bookstore, he turned and walked towards the port.

However, the current port inspections are also strict, and there are also navy inspections. It is still somewhat difficult to pass safely.

However, more than ten years have passed, and the navy should not be able to recognize her current appearance.

Robin put the purple top hat on his head and followed the team with a relaxed expression.

As a tobacco-rich Kingdom of Valleland, the country's ports naturally have a large flow of people, and under strict scrutiny, they still appear to be a bit crowded.

Coles was in charge of inspection here, and Sebaqi conducted investigations from time to time.

In addition to the inspection of people boarding the ship here, commercial ships and some transported goods are also being inspected to prevent anyone from getting into them and escaping.

Although Veroch's murderer may have left, the other person may still be in the country, which is actually an unconfirmed fact.

Inspired by what he saw and heard, Coles also caught some criminals who had no money to cross the border, or were pickpockets and thieves.

Of course, these are all minor episodes.

When walking in front of a pair of teams boarding the ship, Coles suddenly felt something in his heart because he sensed a somewhat familiar woman.

"You go over there to check, and let me come over here." Coles said to the student checking here.

"Okay." Facing Coles, the strongest man in the elite training camp, the student did not refuse anything and turned to the transport ship on the other side to check.

Coles took over the student's inspection position and spoke to these tourists.

"Gentlemen and ladies, please line up in an orderly manner and take out your tickets for me to check."

The tourists took out their tickets one after another and passed smoothly after being inspected by Coles.

Three minutes later, Coles was checking the ticket of a woman with dark hair and sunglasses wearing a purple vest and a top hat of the same color.

After confirming it is correct.

Coles returned the ticket to the other party.

"No problem, Miss, you can get on the boat."

The woman in sunglasses nodded, turned around and stepped onto the deck of the big ship smoothly.

At this time, Coles picked up a coin on the ground and threw it to the beauty in sunglasses who had just boarded the ship.

"Miss, your Bailey fell. Please pay more attention next time. I wish you good luck!"

Nicole Robin turned around and took the thrown pale golden coin in her white palm.

She discovered that this five-hundred-face-value coin was exactly what she had returned to Coles in the valley before, and the other party had thrown the coin to her.

This is the third time she has met each other, and the third time she has heard Coles' words of "good luck".

"Thanks!"

A smile appeared on Nicole Robin's lips unconsciously, and she suddenly became curious about this handsome young marine.

Where is the other person from?

What's the name again?

…

In order to avoid blocking others from getting on the boat, Nicole Robin started walking towards the front cabin.

Coles had already turned around and continued to inspect the tourists behind him.

After all guests have boarded.

The cruise ship began to leave the port and headed towards nearby countries. The shadow of the ship gradually became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared on the sea.
