Chapter 12: CH-12
Rosenante's failure didn't only make Yoriichi to disappoint but also zefa.He didn't expect that he would give up so easily.
Though Zefa hadn't seen much with him until now,but he had heard from Sengoku that he is sensible and has strong will power as well as hard working student.
But seeing his appearance today, he can't help but disappointed.even if he still have not become navy,
he would never accept that type of person in navy!
Just as Yoriichi is about to encourage him to continue, Zefa directly reprimanded:
"Rosenante!"
"stand up!"
"The navy is not a joke. If you go to battlefield with that,you may die at anytime!"
"You are the son of the Sengoku! Don't be a coward, stand up!"
Rosenante, who was lying on the tatami, was startled by Zefa's sudden scolding.Hearing this, he immediately got up and hurriedly replied,
"Yes... yes!"
"You're right, teacher zefa...it is true that I terrified of being beaten but I am more terrified of being seen as an disappointment.... Yoriichi, sorry for seeing that pathetic side of me!" After rosenante got up in a hurry, he grabbed the knife along with a loud shout.from that moment ,he attacked Yoriichi again.
"oh~"
Yoriichi turned sideways to avoid his attack before leaned over and slapped Rossindi's ankle with a knife.
As an result,he staggered in pain and fell to the floor.
"..it hurts!" Yoriichi applied his strength to several fold than his previous attacks.Sure enough,he can only shout pain in anger.but anger can make his fighting spirit burn.
He is right ! Rosenante, who fell on the ground, held the bamboo knife tightly and got up with his gritted teeth.
He then rushed again with same pattern··· just like that,
entire morning have been ended with one person 's constant suffering.
Although This kind of training didn't help Yoriichi,it was very different for rosenante. His willpower became stronger as time passes.Still,he can't land a hit against Yoriichi.
When eating their lunch, he said with his still trembling hands,
"Yoriichi ...I have never undergone such rigorous training."
"I am still growing.will this training affect my growth?!"
"I think you are not tall because of training!" Although it is hard to eat with muscle soreness, Rosindi's mouth is being stuffed with food.
"What about you?why are you so small? ain't we the same age?"
Rossindi is really qualified to say this. Although this kid is only 12 years old, he is nearly two meters tall, which is very tall. And Yoriichi height is a bit ordinary, just reaching 170cm.
When rosenante said so, Yoriichi really didn't know how to answer him.
"Maybe I am late bloomer"
he was still a little awkward when he said this. This world is a bit different, and the height of human beings are generally far higher than that of the world Yoriichi is familiar with.
People with the height of Rosenai can be found everywhere in the navy. Even if the existence of the giant is not included, there are many navy with a height of nearly two meters.
While both of them are eating and chatting,the door of the restaurant was suddenly opened.
Zefa walked into the dining room with a plate in his hand, behind him is another middle age man who is also carrying the same tray as zefa.But unlike zefa,his plate is filled with all kinds of food, piled up to a height of tens of centimeters. Yoriichi and rosenante raised their heads together and looked at them in curiosity .
"Yo~" "Yoriichi!"
Ignoring zefa,Garp grinned and shouted at yoriichi.he then sat down on the seat, and put the dinner plate in his hand on the table.
"Vice admiral garp!"
Rosenante seemed to know garp, and shouted in shock.yoriichi also looked at Garp and greeted him politely. "Hahahaha!"
··· "Hahahaha!"
"Your zefa is too stingy....look at this tiny amount...how can I fill my stomach,haha"
Garp sat next to Rossindi.while he is talking, he is devouring the food.
"It's all your fault!"
"you came here without saying a word. I didn't even prepare enough food."
Zefa sat beside Yoriichi and said with a smile.The food on the plate in his hand was also piled high. but he not eating all of them but he distributed a few of these to Yoriichi and rosenante.
"Garp, didn't you go after Roger, why did you come back so soon?"
"It's only been ten days since you went to sea, not even a month."
"Why?lost again?" Zefa joked. Taking into account of Garp's achievements, Kong wanted to promote Garp to admiral several times, but was rejected by Garp.
Garp has not been active in the new world like other vice admiral.Instead, he has set his sights on the "Roger Pirates".
Unless there is a major event in the headquarters, he will always pursue Roger in every single times. In addition to chasing, if he encounter other pirates on his way, he will also be cleaned up in one fell slop.
It is also not wrong to say that because of garp's activity that the pirate power in the East blue is always been the weakest in the four seas.
Garp, who got the news of Roger pirates , wasted no time and chased after him, but zefa didn't expect him to come back so soon.
"You know the climate of the new world, ain't you?I was going to catch them. but suddenly there was a heavy rain and I I lost my target."
"The surveillance ship didn't find Roger for several days, so I came back first."
"But now,I more curious to know how you train my kid"
While speaking, Garp's eyes fell on Yoriichi's body.he looked at him briefly, and then grabbed a piece of meat before put into his mouth.
"Sure enough,I was right"
"Well, don't worry about me, I'll catch him."
"He seemed to have a clear goal suddenly, and his actions became more daring."
"I don't know what his purpose is yet, but I think it will be clear soon."
When Garp and Zefa were chatting, Yoriichi was also listening intently.Hearing what Garp said, he probably knew what Roger was looking for. it must be a historical text.
With an emergent of his illness,Roger have no choice but to fullfil his dream.His goal should be to obtain all the historical texts and arrive at laugh tale.
And just when Yoriichi was thinking, garp who had just sat down for a while suddenly stood up and said to Yoriichi:
"Boy, come, let me see if you have made any progress.
"I brought you to the Navy, and I am responsible for you."
"If you waste your talent, I will be very distressed!"
"Hahahaha!" Yoriichi came back to his senses after hearing this. when he looked at garp, he was surprised to find that the food in front of Karp had been swept away .
He was obviously chatting with Zefa, but he has already finished eating?!
"Hey, don't be in a daze, you've already finished eating, let's go"
Garp laughed,and walked to Yoriichi's side,not allowing him to say not even a single word.he grabbed Yoriichi 's arm and walked towards the yard.
"Hey, Garp, wait a minute."
Just as Zefa reached out to grab Garp's shoulder, Garp stopped him.
"What?."
Yoriichi sighed in his heart, and said to Zefa:
"Teacher Zefa, I've already eaten, and it's time to digest."
"You heard that,zefa...hahaha"While speaking, Garp had already walked into the yard with Yoriichi.
Garp stood in the middle of the yard, facing Yoriichi.
Yoriichi completely forget about the surrounding before he took a deep breath.afterward,he rushed towards Garp with a knife.
"Oh! How bolding!"
"Yes, this is what the navy should looks like!" Garp smiled and praised. While Garp was speaking, Yoriichi had already come to him, benting slightly, and stabbing Garp's chest with the bamboo knife.
"Oh! So fast!" Rosenante who is watching from the side blurted out his inner thought.He is watching from the side,but he didn't see clearly how Yoriichi made that insane move.
The time when he saw the bamboo knife clearly is the time that Garp had already grasped the bamboo knife with his bare hand.
Garp, who was still smiling,is finally out frowned, looking unhappy.
"stop!"
"Why is it still like that?!"
"It's been almost 20 days since i brought you back to the Navy."
"Based on your physical fitness, you should be able to learn the six navy styles.considering your talent even haki should be able to far to master."
"Why still so weak?!"
Yoriichi just attacked one move, and Garp stopped.After looking at Yoriichi once or twice, he turned his head to look at Zefa, and asked: "Hey, I gave this kid to you to teach."
"What are you doing ?"
" it have been more than half a month, and why this kid hasn't made any progress at all?." Hearing this, Zefa snorted coldly, and retorted: " "He is still young, basic knowledge is the most important thing."
"Navy six style ?with his talent,it's still not too late to learn when he grow up!" Although Zefa spoke loudly, Garp could hear the guilt and displeasure in Zefa's tone. Squinting his eyes slightly, garp immediately thought of something before he handed the bamboo knife to Yoriichi and walked to Zefa's side.
After that,he put his arm around Zefa's shoulder, and asked in a low voice:
"Does it mean that this matter is kong's doing?"
'Just like always,garp is sharp.'zepa thought in his mind.Unlike his grandson Luffy who is complete idiot, garp still have some brain.
"It won't work like this. You won't be able to cultivate a strong navy with this kind of speed."
"Time is precious "
"Next time I go to sea, I will take this kid away!" As soon as garp finished speaking, Zefa immediately spoke:
"No! He is too young, and this kid has not officially become a navy... it's too dangerous for him....the pirate you hunting are strong man.... it's so risky "
"This is an order!"zefa said with loud voice. However, Garp's voice immediately became louder when he heard this:
"Stupid!I know that you liked him.but,if you keep protecting like that,you will only make his future to bleak"
"There are also two children on Roger's boat, and they should be about the same age as him."
"Pirates of this age can go to sea, but our navy can't go to sea?! Ah?!"
"Orders? Shit orders!"
"I have already decided that!not even Kong can make me change my mind!"
"Humph!" After he finished speaking, Garp snorted softly before he turned around and left.
Looking at the back of garp who is hurriedly leaving, Zefa, who was still angry a second ago, suddenly smiled.Yoriichi, who had been silent all this time, sighed softly when he saw the smile on Zefa's face.
'It seemed that I will have to go out to see the sea in an short period of time'
