"Long time no see, little Rosie."

Nuo Xia hammered the latter's chest hard and said with a smile, "It's been more than half a year, and your strength has improved a lot. You can fight against pirates with a bounty of more than 80 million!

"

On his way to support just now, he saw with his own eyes that Rosinandi teamed up with another recruit to force a pirate captain who had a bounty of 83 million Baileys to retreat and fell into a disadvantage.

When the new recruits were tested, Luo Nandi and the pirates from Xihai, who had a bounty of 30 million, were fighting hard and it took a long time to decide the winner.

"Because Brother Nuo Xia, you and Xiliu graduated early and left. I also want to work harder and keep up with you as soon as possible."

Rosinandi scratched his head in embarrassment, "But I still can't compare with you, Brother Nuo Xia. I heard that you defeated even the drought in the New World a while ago. I always feel that the gap is getting wider and wider...

…”

far away.

The flying squirrel, which had just bandaged its wound, was also watching this scene from a distance, slightly distracted.

The first time I met this kid Nosha was when I went back to the elite camp with Ghost Spider to visit Zefa, right? At that time, I was the brigadier general of my headquarters, and the other guy was just an unknown recruit.

As a result, now, in less than a year, the opponent's military rank has already caught up with him, and his strength and status have even been surpassed.

A pirate who could beat himself to pieces when disguised as Diamond Jozi, tried his best, but couldn't survive two hours in Noxia's hands...

It's really scary.

"A guy like this will definitely become the leader of this headquarters in the future..."

Flying Squirrel sighed in his heart. Even he was a little unsure at this moment. How far can Nuo Xia, who has shown such potential at only twenty years old, go in the future?

But he believes that, at least, the next time the headquarters fills the vacancy of a general position, the latter will definitely be indispensable...

This time Nuoxia came to the Kingdom of Kagaya on a warship from the headquarters.

Accompanying him were two major generals and thousands of elite sailors. They watched Nuoxia leave the warship early and rush to the capital at full speed on moon steps. When they finally arrived, they were shocked to find that the battle was over.

All they can do is to deal with the aftermath and arrest those who escaped from the battlefield.

Regarding this.

The two major generals from the headquarters who came with them for support looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

They are all major generals, and they are all young and outstanding people in their twenties...

But why are the gaps between people so big?

————

After returning to the headquarters, the recruits of the elite battalion ended this thrilling practical examination and went on vacation.

Nuo Xia was first called over by the Warring States Period, and was given a burst of satisfied praise, indicating that he had performed perfectly during this emergency incident in the Kingdom of Kagaya, and this was another record written down for him on Ben's merit book and resume.

Taking into account his previous efforts in defeating the drought, Nuo Xia is now just one step away from being promoted to lieutenant general.

after.

That night, in Zefa's office, Nuo Xia finally met his mentor who had returned from leave to visit the grave and pay homage.

Regarding the fact that an entire generation of disciples had almost been destroyed due to his absence, Zefa was horrified after learning about it. While he blamed himself, he also looked at Nuoxia with greater appreciation for his intervention in resolving the crisis.

"...I seem to have said this several times before, but this time I can't help but admire you. You are so good, Nuo Xia."

In the office, Zefa poured a glass of Sherry from his collection for Noxia and sighed, "If you hadn't made a decisive decision and rushed over at full speed in advance, I'm afraid this time..."

He shook his head and said, "This situation should not happen again. I will personally lead the team for every actual combat assessment in the future to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Is it foolproof?

Nuo Xia looked at Zefa in front of him and remained silent. At this time, Teacher Zefa's body was still at its peak, and he had no doubt that he had general-level combat power, so he was naturally qualified to say such things.

But heroes always have their twilight years.

The current Zefa would never have thought that in the future, with his strength declining, he would have his right arm cut off by an unknown person, and he could only watch helplessly as the opponent slaughtered all his disciples, right?

but.

Crows still know how to feed back, and by then, it will be time for Jiu Meng Zefa to protect and take care of himself, and in turn protect the other person.

"I have to go back to Mariegio tomorrow, teacher."

He thought for a while, took out the fragments of the special life card from his arms, and handed them over with a smile:

"I'm getting busier and busier in the future. I'm afraid we may not have the chance to meet you all year round. No, I'll give this to you. With it, it's like I've been staying at the headquarters to accompany you."

"Then it's better to say goodbye."

Zefa put down the sherry and said angrily, "You boy, although your temper has always been to my liking, you have often made trouble for me. If you were always by my side, I would be at least better than Garp in the Warring States Period.

This guy will live ten years less..."

Having said that, he still carefully put away the life card.

Nuo Xia was relieved and looked at the remaining life card fragments in his backpack.

There are a total of eight supplementary cards. Currently, one has been given to Bellemere, Peach Rabbit, Shia and Rosinandi. One is also left at home, and with Zefa's, there are only the last two left.

.

It shouldn’t be used for the time being, right?

Nuo Xia thought about it for a while, but she didn't think it would be given to anyone else in the future, let alone a girl.

After all, his harem is already substantial enough now, and it is unlikely that another relationship will arise... right?

Well, absolutely impossible.

It is enough for a dual-sword swordsman to have three scabbards.
