Pirates: The Salary Is In Place, The Four Emperors Are Kicked Out

When the warship carrying Porusalino and others arrived at Palawan Island, the destination of the trip, the twenty students of the Marine Elite Class all widened their eyes.

Although I saw the ppt in the basic theory class and heard it from Zephyr Admiral, the fact that such a scene actually appeared in front of me still surprised these recruits who had not seen much of the world.

The sea where Palawan Island is located is blown by the wind, and waves are blown by the wind, and the gathering dark clouds can even be seen in the distance, which is the ordinary sea; while the sea on the other side is flat and waveless, and no ripples can be seen. , like stagnant water. The two sea areas with completely different weather conditions are closely next to each other, as if separated by an invisible line in the middle, although the distance is close but does not interfere with each other.

(The forbidden area of ​​life, Calm Belt, is like a polarized world...)

While disembarking at the port of Palawan Island with everyone, Polsalino thought to himself.

The highest officer of the Marine Base in Palawan, a Rear Admiral named Ciro, was waiting for everyone at the port with his subordinates early. Under his introduction, Polusalino and the others learned that the Palawan Marine Base is a half training and half scientific research base.

Semi-training refers to the Marine elite class students, of course, including some quasi-high-level generals who have become Commodore, and semi-research refers to the study of the large Sea Kings here (by the way, there is a huge destructive organisms are closely monitored).

However, although Ciro Rear Admiral did not say it, Polusalino estimated that the real scientific research direction here must be more than that.

(It is estimated that it is the navigation technology of Calm Belt. Before Vegapunk joined World government, I don't know how many breakthroughs World government has made in this regard...)

After a little chat, Zephyr Admiral rejected Ciro Rear Admiral's proposal to let everyone rest for a while, and directly asked a Lieutenant Commander to bring the lottery box.

Looking at the number 20 paper sign in his hand, Polusalino smiled helplessly and turned to Sakazuki, "What's your size? Sakazuki."

"number 1."

"You're actually No. 1, I'm No. 20... Stolo Berry and Ghost Spider, how many are you two?"

"I'm number 11."

"Number 13."

The rest of the people were also discussing their lottery with their companions. Seeing this, Zephyr grinned and said:

"These numbered islands are generally similar in difficulty, but there are very few exceptions. Which island you can go to depends entirely on your luck. Again, in the sea, luck is also a part of strength..."

(Why don't I believe that it's all about luck... Sakazuki's No. 1 and my No. 20 don't look like islands of ordinary difficulty... Zephyr-sensei, you guys are definitely doing something...)

Polsalino secretly complained in his heart.

"Okay, after the lottery, go and change your clothes. We will still gather at this port in five minutes."

Zephyr Admiral ordered.

...

Five minutes later, twenty elite class students in black shorts regrouped at the port - their original clothes and belongings were all kept, and only these black pocketless shorts were allowed.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Zephyr nodded with satisfaction:

"Very well, then let's get started. Who is Number One?"

"it's me."

Sakazuki stood up.

"Well, come with me."

Looking at Sakazuki who left with Zephyr, Polsalino was actually a little puzzled - the current Marine should have not acquired the technology to install seastones on the bottom of the ship and sail on the Calm Belt, how exactly did Zephyr send these elite class students to the What about the islands in the Calm Belt?

This doubt accompanied Polusalino all day long, and the students of the elite class were sent away one by one, until the sun was about to set, and only him, who was No. 20, was left.

"Polusalino, come with me."

Zephyr Admiral, who had returned again, said to Polsalino.

Polsalino found that Zephyr Admiral was a little different this time from his previous return - his body and hair were covered in sea water.

"Mr. Zephyr, shouldn't you..."

"Ah, you noticed,"

Zephyr waved his hand in disapproval, "When I was sending Flying Squirrel No. 19 just now, the boat was discovered and attacked by the giant Sea Kings. Fortunately, he was delivered, saving a lot of trouble. I killed the Sea Kings. Kings, and swam back."

"Swim back..."

Polsalino could only smile wryly at Zephyr's understatement.

But think about it, the old Pluton Rayleigh can rely on the breaststroke to cross the Calm Belt, not to mention the Admiral Zephyr who is at his peak... Roger, Garp, Zephyr, the future redhead and Hawkeye... These are not Devil Fruit The top physique powerhouses who can occupy a place in the world with their abilities may decline in strength after getting old, but before the strength does not decline, one or two of them are the real monsters...

After a while, just as Porusalino had expected, Zephyr took him to a boat powered by the pedals—the latter in charge of the pedals.

"This boat is a spare, and it really isn't very smooth to step on."

Zephyr laughed while smoking a cigar.

Looking at the speeding boat due to Zephyr's high-speed pedaling, Polusalino could only smile back - a boat that had been pedaling for a day and swam back from Calm Belt once, and still maintained such a speed...

"You said yes, that's it..."

Suddenly, Polsalino seemed to think of something, and changed the topic: "Mr. Zephyr, is the previous base also conducting research on Calm Belt navigation technology?"

"Oh? Why do you think so?"

Zephyr raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't respond positively, his attitude was obvious.

"You'll know after a little thought,"

Porusalino, who was sitting on the boat, shrugged, "If it's really like what Ciro Rear Admiral said, that base is the giant Sea Kings that study and monitor here, and the headquarters will definitely not only station one Rear Admiral at the base. here."

"why would you say so?"

Zephyr asked with interest.

"It's not that I belittle the strength of Ciro Rear Admiral, but in front of the large Sea Kings, his Rear Admiral is no different from ordinary marines,"

Porusalino analyzed earnestly, "And if it's really to monitor and study the large-scale Sea Kings in the Calm Belt, either it should be stationed at the powerful Vice Admiral or a combat force like yours, or it should be the root cause. Ordinary school-level officers who don't expect them to fight. For a Rear Admiral who can monitor and study the large Sea Kings without any effect, it is too strange to be stationed here."

"I didn't expect you to think of this level..."

Zephyr showed an unexpected expression, then nodded and said in deep thought, "You are right, the real research content of this base is not the giant Sea Kings, but the technology of warships sailing in the Calm Belt... But then again, you Why are you asking this kid?"

"The research results here should not be obvious for the time being, right? Teacher Zephyr,"

Porusalino laughed, "Otherwise, I wouldn't let an Admiral like you serve as an escort for the elite class."

"Well, almost,"

Zephyr shrugged, but his feet didn't slow down at all, "Actually, I was supposed to be with Garp, but that guy went back to East Blue's hometown."

"I see... Mr. Zephyr, you may not believe it. I am a science enthusiast, and I actually have an immature idea about the sailing of warships in the Calm Belt..."
