Chapter 45: Zepha's point of view

"You're back? Go wash your hands quickly. Dinner is almost done."

As soon as he returned to Tsuru's house, he heard the sound of a gas stove, pots, and spatulas clashing from the kitchen. Gion's head poked out of the kitchen door and said to Skyler.

"Okay, thank you Sister Gion and Sister Tsuru."

Skyler agreed, and walked to the bathroom to wash her hands and face. If she hadn't heard the sounds in the kitchen gradually subside, she would have wanted to take a shower. After all, it was a day of training, and she had a sparring session with Colonel Heller in the afternoon, so it didn't count.

Refreshing.

The three of them sat down at the dining table, and Skyler skillfully prepared food for Tsuru and Gion. This was something she had to do, because the two of them only ate one bowl, and Skye filled the rest of the bowl.

Le's.

If it were replaced by Gion or Tsurushi rice, then they wouldn't have to eat dinner and would only have to be responsible for preparing meals for Skyler. Therefore, the best solution is for Skyler to prepare meals for himself.

It can satisfy your own appetite without disturbing other people's eating. This is the best option.

"Isn't Lieutenant General Garp back yet?"

At the dinner table, Gion and He were chatting. Gion suddenly mentioned the issue of Garp. Hearing this, He shook his head and said: "It may be until June. After all, during this period, the island's newborn baby

...

They may all be the descendants of Gol Roger. Alas... none of them should appear on the sea."

He sighed, thinking about the pregnant women on that island, as well as the newborn or unborn babies. It was hard not to feel empathy. After all, this order was too inhumane.

Skyler's cooking speed has also slowed down. In June, it would be nine months before Roger was executed. If it were an ordinary person, it would indeed be solved.

But she knew that the Pirate King's wife was also a person who could tolerate things that ordinary people couldn't tolerate. It might not be until January next year that this matter would be finally over.

In other words, regardless of whether Garp comes back in June or not, in January next year, when Ace, the only son of Roger the Pirate King, is born, Garp will set sail to pick up Ace.

I just don’t know if during the period from when Garp adopted Ace to when Ace was entrusted to Dadan by Garp, except Garp and the people on his ship, did anyone know about Ace’s existence?

However, Skyler himself thought that there should be no time difference between coming here. Even after Garp adopted Ace, he did not return to Marinevando. After all, any warship going to sea must be recorded.

When the ship leaves, where it goes, and when it returns, these contents will be recorded. Although Garp can make up a false destination, multiple children are very eye-catching after all.

The most likely possibility is that Garp directly reported to return to the East China Sea, and then the ship sailed to Ace's birthplace, picked up Ace, returned directly to the East China Sea, and then delivered Ace to the bandit Dadan.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little gloomy, Heya knew that he had talked too much, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's continue eating. You will have to teach Skyler a lesson in Gion later."

Gion and Skyler abruptly changed the topic, and they cooperated very well. They did not say anything more, but continued to eat. After dinner and cleaning up, Skyler began to practice the theoretical course.

Although there is no need to go to class, Skyler still needs to take the theoretical assessment. After all, these will be recorded in the grades.

After a rather melancholy day, Skyler arrived at the training ground on time the next day. Zefa was already waiting here. Seeing that Skyler's mood was back to normal, Zefa nodded with satisfaction.

Zefa watched Skyler start to warm up, thinking, and then said: "Skyler, do you know what a swordsman is?"

Without stopping, Skyler replied: "If you want to cut, you can cut through even gold and iron; if you don't want to cut, then you can't cut through even soft paper."

This was a very standard answer, and Zefa was not surprised and asked: "Then what do you want to kill most?"

Skyler's body has reached the standard due to these days of exercise, and the high-intensity sparring has made her extremely familiar with her swordsmanship. However, Skyler has never been able to understand the swordsman's slashes.

Hearing this, Skyler stopped and said, "If I have to say it... I want to cut off my own weakness."

Skyler didn't have any goals. He was the so-called world's greatest swordsman. He just felt good when he shouted it out. As for the swordsmen in the navy, most of them had developed the belief in cutting off evil, but Skyler didn't have it at all.

Because she understands that in this world, the only truly pure evil people may be those high-ranking Celestial Dragons living on the Red Earth Continent, but they have nothing to do with her, and Skyler has never thought about "cutting off" them.

If we have to talk about her enthusiasm for training, it must be the change in herself. After all, training can enrich herself very well, and the strength of her body makes her feel more secure.

Zefa listened to the girl's answer and said, "Then do you think you are weak now?"

"Maybe."

Listening to Skyler's answer, Zefa sighed. His view of Skyler was different from that of He and others. He and others felt that Skyler had a very miserable childhood.

But Zefa felt that Skyler had been protected too well in the past, including now, and she didn't need to fight, so she didn't have the temper.

She doesn't hate being weak in the past, but now she has a choice and chooses to become stronger. Her goal is illusory and there is no clear goal.

If Skyler were to learn something else, even if it was a physical technique like Zefa or Garp, Zefa wouldn't worry, because he loves the feeling of becoming stronger, that's enough.

But only swordsmanship is not good. As Schuyler just answered, swords are tough and sharp. If you don't have this quality when practicing swordsmanship, then it will be difficult to advance in swordsmanship.

Of course, as Skyler's body becomes stronger, her sword attacks will become stronger and stronger. Even if she doesn't have to become a so-called swordsman, she can easily choose between cutting and not cutting.

But this is just a performance, and inside, Skyler is still weak. This is what Zefa is worried about, and it is also the reason why he has postponed the actual teaching of Skyler's armed domineering course.

Because armed color can make people stronger, but for people who are not mentally tough enough, armed color is just a layer of armor wrapping that weak heart.

It may look strong on the outside, but it does not have the heart to drive these forces. On the contrary, the weak heart that is protected will only become weaker and weaker over time.
