General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 459 Master and Disciple
Rorschach, who was sleeping soundly, felt like someone was pressing his face with something soft, plump, and full of elasticity.

"Ok?"

He opened his eyes drowsily, and saw a snow-white finger thicker than his thigh, which happened to point again and poked his face, deforming his face.

The owner of this white jade-like index finger is a mermaid with long pink curly hair.

Seeing Rorschach opening his eyes, Bai Xing's face showed a look of panic, like a child who had done something wrong and was discovered by an adult. He shrank his neck and said in a timid panic:
"Ah, Lord Rorschach, you...are you awake? I'm...sorry."

While apologizing, her big blue eyes seemed to be filled with tears again. Seeing this, Luo Xia quickly waved her hands to comfort:
"Uh...it's okay, I don't mind."

He sat up, stretched out comfortably, turned his head and looked around, and saw a dozen people sleeping spread out on the deck around him.

Neptune, Garp, Zephyr, Kobra, Pobla, Zoro and others lay staggering all over the deck, snoring loudly.

There was a banquet last night. Everyone was eating and drinking, and the commotion lasted until late at night.

Many naval generals returned to their headquarters if they should, and those who wanted to go to the Holy Land in advance also went to the Holy Land first.

The only ones who are still here are the Dragon Palace Kingdom, Alabasta Kingdom, and the Holy Poplar Kingdom.

It is worth mentioning that it was Luo and Bebo who were responsible for escorting Bobula and others.

The Holy Poplar Kingdom is also the closest paradise franchise country to the Holy Land.

Bai Xing has been secretly looking at Luo Xia.

She was a little curious about the silver-haired boy in front of her who seemed to be very popular with everyone.

Last night, Bai Xing listened to his elder brother Shark Star introducing Rorschach's deeds. Now Bai Xing feels both respect and fear for Rorschach.

Respectfully, Rorschach is the new naval hero. In the hands of pirates, he saved many civilians and protected many places from devastating disasters.

Such behavior, in the heart of the innocent and kind-hearted Bai Xing, is just like Tiger, the great hero of the fish people, who deserves everyone's respect and love.

What scares me is that I heard that Rorschach killed many, many people.

It is said that in the eyes of many people, the young man in front of him who always has a gentle smile on his face, looks good and makes people feel at ease, is the big devil who kills people like crazy.

However, compared to the above two feelings, Bai Xing was more curious about why Rorschach was so edible even though he looked small, much smaller than himself.

In the takoyaki eating competition last night, Luo Xia fought hard against the crowd, passed the test, and single-handedly defeated many of the participating naval generals.

Even her father, King Neptune, participated.

Shirahoshi also had a great time at the party last night.

She drank juice that she had never tasted on Fish-Man Island, made many gentle and good friends, saw the moon hanging in the sky, and saw the beautiful fireworks blooming in the sky.

This made Bai Xing, who had followed his father and brother to the sea with trepidation, feel unprecedented happiness and happiness.

It turns out that humans are not as evil as some fish people say.

The things in the bedtime story her mother once told her are true. As long as you treat people sincerely, others will treat you sincerely.

Bai Xing decided that after returning to Fish-Man Island, she must tell her compatriots on Fish-Man Island about her experience here.

Share with everyone the friends you know and what you see and hear in the human world.

This is what my mother has been doing all her life.

"Kakka, kaka."

A heavy collision sounded on the deck. Zefa stood up from the deck holding the mechanical arm, pressed his forehead with his hand, shook his still groggy head, and glanced at the people lying on the ground. He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He didn't know how much he drank last night, Zefa couldn't remember at all.

Anyway, he kept pouring wine, and a bunch of people came up to take turns to toast. Even though he claimed to be a drunkard in his department, in the end, he was drunk to pieces and fell unconscious.

While he was pressing his head, a bottle of sherry was held in one hand and handed to him.

"Teacher Zefa, are you awake? Come, have a drink to refresh yourself."

Seeing Rorschach with a smile on his face, a vein popped out on Zefa's forehead and he opened his hand angrily.

"Don't do this, why are you still drinking? If you don't do your job properly, why don't you send King Kobra and the others to the Holy Land as soon as possible, or Warring States will come and skin you."

"Hehe, wasn't I kidding?" Luo Xia smiled and was about to take back the wine he handed over, but was snatched away by Zefa's big hand.

Luo Xia was stunned, "Teacher Zefa, don't you want to drink?"

"Can I take it back to headquarters and drink it?" Zefa rolled his eyes, opened the box on the robotic arm with a click, and put the bottle of sherry in.

He glanced at the back of Bai Xing who was walking towards the cabin, and glanced sideways at Rorschach, "You kid, what are you secretly whispering to Princess Bai Xing here? Are you trying to kidnap Neptune's precious daughter? Although the beauty of the mermaid princess is unparalleled in the world, and there is no reproductive isolation between the fishmen and humans, don't you think the difference in body shape between the two of you is too great?"

"Teacher Zefa! What did you say? I didn't think so. Don't talk nonsense."

Rorschach's mouth twitched, and his face was filled with black lines at Zefa's sudden words.

Is this old guy really the respectable navy chief instructor from last night?

Are you sure this is not a disrespectful old man? "Teacher Zefa, please be more serious. If others hear this, your great and upright image in their hearts will be shattered."

"I have an image of being great and upright. I'm just an ordinary person. Don't just put gold on my face and still be upright. That's Garp's image."

Zefa glared at Rorschach angrily and kicked Garp's butt who was sleeping soundly on the deck.

The master and apprentice walked to the bow of the ship and stood side by side, looking at the red earth continent looming in the clouds in the distance.

After a moment of silence, Luo Xia said: "Teacher Zefa, after this world conference, I should be transferred to the new world, right? I wonder if the Warring States Marshal will let me sit alone in a naval base?"

"What? You can't wait to go to the cruel sea in the new world?"

Hearing this, Zefa curled up the corner of his mouth and grinned.

"It's a bit." Luo Xia also smiled, pinched his knuckles, and made a crackling sound. There was a hot fighting spirit in his eyes, "How can I not take advantage of the bad breath of being manipulated by Kaido and declared war by pirates? How about repaying them? The navy has developed steadily for so many years, and it is time to enter the new world."

Zefa glanced at Rorschach beside him and saw the burning fighting spirit and determination blooming in his eyes. There was a hint of appreciation and a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"It's good to be young and have energy. It was the same when I was young. I wanted to rush to the front all day long to enforce justice. But, Rorschach, do you remember what I have always told you? While implementing your belief in justice, you must also Stick to your heart and don’t lose yourself in the killing. You can’t learn from Sakaski. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Look at how bad his reputation is now. Now he has become the world in the eyes of people all over the world. The loyal dog of the government is a mad dog with cruel methods. Moreover, if he is too strong, he will be easily broken, and if his methods are too cruel, he will not win the hearts of the people."

Rorschach was silent for a while, with his eyes reflecting the holy land of Mary Geoya hidden in the sea of ​​clouds, and said in a deep voice: "Teacher Zefa, I understand the truth. However, today's era is becoming more and more chaotic, and the four sides of the new world are... The emperor ruled on one side and ruled over the sea. The Shichibukai were unruly and would listen to orders but not announcements. This alliance system used to check and balance the four emperors has ceased to exist in name only. Instead, it has become a guarantee for their wanton behavior and continuous growth. In troubled times, you should use heavy rules. Rather than boiling frogs in warm water and letting this era remain half-dead, it is better to cut through the mess with a sharp knife, march forward bravely, and fight for a bright future with a fist in your hand and a knife in your palm!"

Zefa's body trembled, and he stared blankly at Luo Xia, whose aura was boiling like a raging fire.

This disciple of his is really courageous.

Compared to Sakaski back then, it was no less impressive.

But changing the world is easier said than done.

Zefa couldn't help but think of his past self.

When he was very young, he called himself 'Z', the hero of justice, who would use his weak body to uphold justice regardless of danger.

His qualifications are mediocre, his talent is extremely poor, and all he has is enthusiasm.

On the road of upholding justice, I don't know how much hardship I endured and how much blood and sweat I shed before I accumulated a lot of hard work and climbed to the position of admiral of the navy.

I thought that by standing higher, I could better safeguard justice, eliminate more suffering, and save more innocent people.

However, the reality is extremely cruel.

Regardless of whether he is friend or foe, there are always some people who want to stop him from doing those just things.

In the face of these obstacles, he never gave in or compromised.

But to this day, looking back, he still has not been able to fulfill his childhood dream and completely change the world.

It's really hard to be a hero.

However, as a teacher, Zefa never undermines students' confidence.

He reached out and patted Luo Xia on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Everyone has their own path. As long as you think what you are doing is right, then go ahead and do it! If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me. Although I am now an old teacher, I am still richer than you in terms of experience and experience."

"Yes! I will, thank you Teacher Zefa." Luo Xia nodded heavily.

"As for your subsequent transfer to the New World, I also got some information from the Warring States Period." Zefa brought the topic back and said with a smile: "The original intention of the Warring States Period was to let you follow Sakaski first. Let them practice in G1 for a period of time, and then allocate a naval base to you."

"Ah? Do you still need to practice? I'm already a candidate for a general." Luo Xia grimaced, feeling a little frustrated.

Zefa shook his head and laughed, "Haha, I know you want to sit in a naval base alone. No problem. With your current strength and reputation, it is more than enough to be the commander of a naval base in the new world. Warring States thinks so, and is not worried about you. Under the prying eyes of Kaido's gang. Now that you have made a decision, I will tell Sengoku later and let you serve as the base commander of a branch. As for which branch, Sengoku and the others will have to think about it. .”

"Great! Teacher Zefa, you are reliable! Unlike Mr. Garp, I asked him to help me talk to the Warring States Marshal about this matter, but he hesitated and was not happy at all." Luo Xia was happy. He held Zefa's shoulders.

"What did you say? I'm unhappy?"

An eerie voice suddenly sounded from behind Rorschach, startling him. He turned around quickly and saw Garp standing behind him at some point, staring at him with a dark face.

"Ah, haha, Grandpa Garp, are you awake? Do you want to eat something? I'll make breakfast for you."

As he spoke, he moved his steps and ran towards the cabin.

"Where are you going? Come back and tell me clearly. Who is unhappy? Isn't it just a base commander? I will ask Warring States to approve it for you later! What a big deal, you actually said that I am unhappy, I think you are a kid It's an itchy skin that needs a beating." Garp grabbed it directly with his big hand, and his voice sounded like thunder, which made the deck buzz and woke up all the people who were sleeping deeply.

"You heard wrong! I didn't say you. Stop, the ship is going to sink! Princess White Star, save me."

There was a flurry of excitement on the deck.

Rorschach hid behind Bai Xing's tall body and circled with Garp who was chasing him.

"Eh?" Bai Xing looked confused, blinked, and almost fainted from Rorschach.

At this moment, Zefa, who suddenly had a smile on his face, frowned slightly and looked at the sea ahead. The smile on his face faded little by little, and his eyes became deep.

"The Draco slave ship."
