General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 163 Set sail!Goal: 60 million!
The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap.

This sentence couldn't be better to describe Rorschach's mood at this moment.

Because starting from today, he will lead a 200-man warship alone from the Navy headquarters Marinelvando to the Grand Route to carry out his cruise mission.

Logically speaking, as a mid- to high-level general at the Navy Headquarters colonel level, a team of only 200 people is really a bit shabby.

But given that Rorschach had just left the new military camp, he had no experience in commanding operations.

In addition, he is cruising the sea, not sitting in a naval branch.

So the Warring States Period only approved 200 people for him.

The warship is the largest type of 50-meter three-masted sailing ship, powered by coal-burning steam power.

The bottom of the warship is equipped with a sea tower stone that can freely enter and exit the windless sea area.

There are 36 giant steel cannons arranged on both sides of the hull.

A huge cannon comparable to a coastal defense gun was installed on the bow.

The entire warship can be said to be armed to the teeth, like a giant Neptune-like beast sailing on the sea, baring its teeth and claws.

If they encounter an ordinary pirate ship, under such intensive artillery fire coverage, there is no need for Rorschach and the others to take action. The soldiers on the ship who have undergone professional artillery fire can easily sink the opponent's ship.

"Stop dilly-dallying, you know you can't escape, Luo!"

At the port of Marine Vendone Bay, he was wearing a white colonel's military uniform, with a wide cloak of justice flying behind him. He looked at the navy soldiers standing neatly in front of him with a smile.

Among these naval soldiers, there are both middle-aged and serious lieutenants from the headquarters, as well as childish privates who have just come out of the recruit camp.

There are also several old acquaintances of his.

Luo, Bebo, Pekin, Xia Qi, and then...

"Skylark? What are you doing here?"

Luo Xia watched in confusion as a petite figure emerged from the crowd, trotted up to him and stood in front of him, carrying the kind-hearted flower gun on his back.

This beautiful female soldier with short ear-length hair, who else could she be if she wasn't a skylark?
"Of course I'm going to sea with Brother Rorschach, and I'm about to graduate from the recruit camp. Grandma He gave me a graduation assessment task, asking me to draw the main navigation diagrams in the Grand Line."

Skylark pursed his lips, with a smile on his face, and a look of happiness that could not be concealed.

However, seeing the bright smile on her face, Luo Xia felt a headache.

"What's wrong? Brother Luo Xia doesn't want me to get on your ship?"

The corner of Yunque's mouth tightened, and glistening tears immediately appeared in his big, watery eyes, making Luo Xia's mouth twitch.

Who did this girl learn from?

"It's not that I don't want to..."

Rorschach wailed in his heart.

I dare not!

You are Akainu's daughter.

If something happens to him when he goes out to sea, who can bear the responsibility?

If the tragedy like Mr. Zefa's happened again, how would I face Uncle Sakaski?

Moreover, Hibari is the identity of Akainu's daughter. Although few people know it, they are not afraid of anything.

What if someone with a strong head and boundless strength wants to kidnap Skylark and force the navy?
Furthermore, his warship is full of big men.

As a girl living in Yunque, it is inevitable that she will be a little unsuitable.

In both public and private matters, Luo Xia didn't want her to go out to sea with him and get into danger.

The difficulty of this graduation assessment has really gone through the sky and reached an unprecedented height.

It’s more than just cruising the Grand Line.

The task given to him by Zefa is to eliminate the pirates in the paradise, and the total reward for their capture needs to reach 60 billion beli!

Yes.

That's right.

60 billion Baileys!
When Rorschach heard about this mission goal that day, everyone was confused.

He still remembered Smoker, Drake and the others who were sitting together in the cafeteria eating together. After hearing the words of Zefa, the phone bug, the sympathy appeared on each of their faces.

According to Zefa's words.

His current abilities basically come from Warring States, Garp, Zefa, Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji.

Everyone gave him the mission goal of one billion Baileys, which was very reasonable and a very common graduation assessment.

Even the indicators of the other lieutenant generals in the headquarters and the chief staff officer Grandma He were not included.

This is so reasonable... what a piece of shit!

This number does not include the first half of the Grand Route.

Even if he is thrown into the new world, if he can capture a pirate with a total bounty of 60 billion beli, he will definitely be promoted to lieutenant general of the headquarters.

It doesn't matter whether they caught six royal lieutenants or thousands of rubbish with a million-dollar reward.

But in this damn place like Paradise, there are so many pirates with high bounties that can be caught.

To say the least, even if there is.

The higher the bounty, the stronger the pirate is.

Rorschach is not so arrogant that he thinks he can run rampant in the Grand Line.

Not to mention that his strength is far from reaching the standards of a top powerhouse.

Just those weird devil fruit abilities, the talents of some races, or some messy technological weapons may cause him to suffer.

For example, being touched by Doflamingo's subordinate Sugar.

For example, being touched by Ain.

Like being touched by that lucky girl on the Tezolo ship.

He is still so young, he won't be able to stand anyone touching him.

With a bunch of random thoughts in his mind, Rorschach couldn't help but glance back and forth in the square.

Finally, he saw a tall purple-haired old man, dragging a heavy robotic arm, walking from a distance.

Rorschach breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and rushed to Zefa in a flash.

"Teacher Zefa, you are finally here."

Luo Xia blocked Skylark's view, lowered her voice, and said eagerly in front of Zefa: "Skylark said she wants to go to sea with me. Teacher Zefa, please let her go back quickly."

"Go back? What are you going back for?" Zefa curled up the corner of his mouth, and a teasing smile appeared on his face, "You kid hangs out at Sakaski's house every day, and now you want to run away after eating everything? Even if I agree, Saka Ski will not agree to it either.”

Hearing Zefa's teasing, Luo Xia immediately burst into tears.

"Teacher Zefa, human life is at stake, please stop joking."

"You see, this is not suitable either. There are all male soldiers on my warship, so there is something wrong with letting a girl live on it..."

"What's wrong? You are the captain of the warship, and the highest officer has a bed-warming adjutant who is your childhood sweetheart. Isn't that normal?"

Zefa was still laughing.

Luo Xia was already on the verge of crying.

Who is this old man?

Is this naughty joke suitable for my own students?

If Uncle Sakaski hears it, he will definitely die, right?
Warning about the dog wearing chest!
Seeing Luo Xia's miserable face, Zefa laughed for a long time, finally stopped and waved his hand, "Okay, if the little girl wants to follow, just let her follow. You boy, please do more to protect me. It’s okay if she comes from a good family. Besides, whose daughter do you think she is?”

"Sakaski's daughter is not that delicate."

"Although the strength is not impressive compared to a little monster like you, in the elite training camp, it is only second to Luo."

"Don't underestimate me, you bastard." After hearing what Zefa said, no matter how reluctant Luo Xia was, she could only hold her nose and admit it.

Seeing Rorschach standing in front of him, who was no longer much shorter than him, Zefa's eyes were filled with various complex emotions.

He seemed to have a lot to say to Rorschach.

But it seemed like there was nothing to explain.

Rorschach is a very special one among the navy soldiers he has taught.

This specialness refers not only to young age.

After that incident happened a few years ago, he had no intention of taking up the position of instructor in this department.

The daily training of the elite training camp is handed over to the generals of the headquarters.

At most, he would give some advice when he had time.

The reason why I stood in the position of instructor again was because of the young man in front of me who looked extremely young and immature.

All this stems from the brief conversation Sakaski had with him after returning from the North Sea.

"Old man, I want you to help me teach someone."

"who?"

"A person who has experienced darkness and has not been eroded by the world."

"Is it a workable material?"

"The talent of a general."

"Row."

So Zefa waited in Malinfando.

After waiting for a year, Kuzan finally brought Rorschach back.

The boy did make his debut and shined brightly. Just like Akainu said, he was an outstanding young talent.

But when Tzefa teaches his students, he doesn't just look at talent.

He is different from the one-minded guy like Garp.

Zefa always instills the concept of justice into his disciples bit by bit in the daily training process.

What he wants to teach is not just a martial artist who only knows brute force.

He wants to teach a general with a righteous heart, who can implement the path of justice, stand at the forefront of all naval generals, and lead the navy in its direction.

He wants to teach a new 'naval hero'.

It's hard.

Zefa himself knows it too.

No one is perfect.

He has been a naval instructor for so many years, and 90.00% of the officers and generals in the entire naval headquarters are his students.

But there are very few people who can really match the disciples he wants to cultivate.

Either it's because he doesn't have enough strength or talent.

Either the way of justice is carried out too thoroughly, and there is only destruction in the eyes.

Or just screw it up.

In the past, Kuzan was pretty good and full of enthusiasm, but later he became cold.

Garp's son Dorag is a real marshal, but it's a pity...

"Teacher Zefa, what's wrong?"

Seeing Zefa standing there without moving for a long time, Luo Xia couldn't help but stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

"Crack."

The heavy mechanical arm closed instantly and grasped his palm.

"Uh...Hai...Hai Lou Shi..."

Rorschach's knees softened and he almost fell to his knees.

"Hehehe, are you careless again? The palm of my mechanical arm is made with seastone mixed with it, and is specially used to deal with ability users."

Zefa grabbed his hand and threw him aside.

"Boy, listen!"

“Risks are everywhere on the sea, and there are countless natural and man-made disasters!”

"But as a powerful naval warrior, you must take the initiative to go through all this and experience enough ups and downs in order to stabilize your path of justice!"

"I entrust these young warriors to you. I hope you will not live up to my expectations and the justice in your heart. Go ahead! Complete your graduation assessment."

"Justice shall prevail!"

"As you wish! Teacher Zefa!"

Rorschach took a deep breath, his eyes were a little red, he stood up straight and gave a military salute.

"Justice shall prevail!"

"Justice shall prevail!"

A roar of anger came from the mouths of two hundred naval soldiers, and the sound shook Malinfando.

"Come aboard! Set sail!"

Rorschach raised his right hand high.

"Gentlemen! Follow me to make great achievements! Suppress the pirates!"

"Make great achievements! Suppress the pirates!"

The soldiers looked excited, picked up various supplies around them, and quickly boarded the warship.

On the base of the coastal defense gun in the distance, Drake and Smoker crossed their arms and watched the heated scene from a distance.

"Haha, boy, I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

Derek suddenly shouted loudly.

Rorschach, who jumped onto the warship, turned back with a smile and waved: "I also wish you good luck in military affairs! Captain Drake! And Colonel Smoker!"

"Come to the East China Sea if you have the opportunity." Smoker lit a cigar for himself and whispered.

"Six billion. I can already foresee what kind of cruel and restless life I will experience next."

Luo hugged Gui Cail and leaned against the side of the ship, with a depressed look on his face.

Bebo and Pekin were huddled together with sad faces.

"Captain...we want to go back to Beihai and become doctors..."

"Haha! It's too late! Once you get on my boat, don't even think about getting off."

Rorschach laughed and waved, and an overwhelming hurricane was set off out of thin air in the inner bay, filling the sails that the soldiers tore off in an instant.

Before the huge warship exerted power, it was pushed by the violent wind pressure, and its speed increased step by step, heading towards the open sea.

The young man jumped onto the bow of the ship and waved vigorously to the purple-haired old man at the port.

"Teacher Zefa! Take care of yourself! I will bring you wine when I come back!"

"Be careful, be more diplomatic, and stop being so reckless! The outside world is not the Navy Headquarters!"

Seeing the green warship riding the wind and waves and quickly disappearing from sight, Zefa couldn't help but reach out and wipe the corners of his eyes.

"It's windy."
