"According to many students' stories, it's true, but Kuzan said that little Curry developed their abilities in this way. After Gion kissed him in the equipment room, he came back and immediately developed a new ability..." Aubrey said, but suddenly fell silent, realizing how stupid it sounded. Who would have thought that Kuzan would come up with such a ridiculous excuse.
Kuzan originally said that after Gion's kiss, a new skill automatically appeared in little Curry's head. But Aubrey didn't even dare to tell his boss this verbatim. Although he wasn't a fruit person, there were many around him, and he had never heard of such a way to develop abilities. It was complete nonsense.
"He just wants to find a reason to continue to take advantage of the situation. Since he already kissed me once, he can do it again, right?" Aubrey was mentally indignant.
"... The situation in the New World is very tense. Sengoku has already returned. A few days ago, he asked the marshal to allow little Curry to go on a six-month internship in the New World with him," Zephyr said after a short pause.
"Instructor, are you saying... that he will be leaving for the New World with Admiral Sengoku ahead of schedule?" Aubrey looked at his superior in surprise.
After so many years of work, he had learned to understand hints, but now he was confused. The boss mentioned little Curry, Sengoku, and the New World. What did that mean?
The New World is a paradise for big pirates. They start with those whose bounty exceeds 100 million. Even under the cover of Admiral Sengoku, it is very dangerous. Usually, students go on an internship in the second year to see how cruel the pirates of the Great Road are and to strengthen their belief in justice. Even Sakazuki and Borsalino went through this. After all, this is the future of the Marines, they cannot be thrown into difficult tasks right away.
"Sengoku spoke to me last night. Little Curry has great potential, but due to his brother Curry's influence, he is too cunning and aggressive. Let him go to the New World, maybe it will change his character. I agreed. Initially, he was supposed to go there in three months, but now his presence in the academy could negatively affect Gion and the others. It's better to let him go with Sengoku, it can speed up his growth. Kuzan has already mastered the Tempest kick and Moon walk techniques, and Garp will be back soon. Let them both go on training early," Zephyr nodded.
As an experienced teacher, he understood that geniuses needed to be treated differently. Kuzan and little Curry were stronger than the others. Their presence at the academy was more of a formality to gain a Marine rank. Here he could train kuzan, and little Curry was just an echo of his Old curry. It was better to let them go to sea earlier, so that they would feel his cruelty and develop faster.
Besides, sending little Curry with Sengoku to the New World could protect him from the further influence of his brother, Curry. He was the admiral's talented son, and if he wanted to protect the world in the future, he needed to grow up.
...
- What?! Internship ahead of schedule? But there are still three months left!
The next day, Leonardo, who was still trying to figure out how to persuade Gion to go with him to the experimental equipment room, received a notice from Aubrey. He was told that in two days he was to leave for the New World with Admiral Sengoku for an internship.
A question mark appeared on Leonardo's face. Going to the New World with Sengoku? That was the agreement his father had with the admiral. Although students were not sent there for training before graduating, it would not be difficult for the admiral to take an unofficial student along. Leonardo was prepared for that.
But there is one strange thing about his behavior: there are three months left until the internship starts, and he hasn't had lunch with everyone yet. The main thing is that he still hasn't found a way to make the leaves glow. He wants to use these three months to learn something new, especially the method of lighting the leaves. When the time comes, he will go to the New World to mingle with Sengoku, and he will have at least some guarantees. Although his strength is on par with others during this period, except for Logia, who was stuck in Kuzan's buffer and couldn't do anything until he fully awakened Armament Haki, he doesn't have a single enemy… But his actual combat power is about the level of an ordinary rear admiral of the staff. Aubrey, who can't be promoted to vice admiral due to some insurmountable factors, is comparable to the elite vice admirals. A rear admiral is still much weaker, in the New World, things are much more difficult. There, he is more like a "seasoned beginner".
In this era, the world economy has not yet taken off. It is not a time when in twenty years, pirates will have a bounty of five or six billion, or even a billion. There are now a few big pirates in the New World: Golden Lion, Whitebeard, Roger, Kong's old rivals like Baroric Redfield, and their bounties are only 200 to 300 million. In this era, the power of big pirates whose bounty exceeds 100 million is real. As they say, time makes heroes, and now in the New World, a group of heroes stand shoulder to shoulder, fighting everywhere, and they are stunned before they even enter the New World, before they even have time to order goods.
With his current combat power, heading to the New World isn't very stable... At the very least, he needs to wait until he trains Armament Haki to coat the sword, right?
"The situation in the New World is quite tense, so Admiral Sengoku may not be able to come for you in three months. This time, he returned to report to Marshal Kong about the situation in the New World, and he took you with him. You are not the only one who left for training early. Vice Admiral Garp will return to headquarters next month, and Kuzan will also leave for training with Vice Admiral Garp early."
As for Leonardo's reaction, Aubrey had expected it. He glanced at the small books on the table and said:
- Initially, I was not in favor of little Curry going to the New World ahead of time with Admiral Sengoku to feel the atmosphere of the New World. It is too dangerous after all. Last year, several trainees died during the first half of the journey. Although little Curry's strength is not bad, he is not ready for the New World yet.
But when he saw the contents of the small book lying on the table, which described the equipment room and what made her care about him, he realized that the chief was absolutely right.
Little Curry is really a fool at the academy, and that's nothing. He dared to write down in his book a plan on how he would harass his classmates. That's too much.
- You can't act so openly when someone is covering for you...
