One Piece Strongest Body - Chapter 19
Chapter 19: It’s Just a Choice
Three days later, Teya returned to the headquarters.
After this battle, Teya feels like returning home.
Although his home is indeed here.
But this time, I really felt that I was already integrated into this world.
It’s still a training period, but Teya feels that no matter how inactive his muscles and bones are, his body will have problems.
Saying goodbye to the others, I plan to go to the playground to stroll around.
It is also to find the feeling of training.
There are a lot of people on the playground, and the training of the new barracks is still going on.
Teya remembered the scene when he first came.
Looking at a sturdy officer standing by the runway, Teya was lost in memories.
“Teya! What nonsense again!”
“Still have the strength to behave? Hurry up and keep up with the team!”
Instructor Chris?
Teya woke up from the memory, only to realize that he was in a daze.
It was just an auditory hallucination.
But why am I so upset about this matter?
“Forget it, I don’t want to, eh?”
Teya rubbed her face, but suddenly saw a familiar figure walking by her side.
“Chi… Sakazuki.”
The man was Akainu. Although his arm was still bandaged, he seemed to be recovering well.
However, the whole person’s temperament seems to have changed.
The original enthusiasm seems to have disappeared, replaced by calmness and unsmiling.
The whole person is very serious, giving people a feeling of being kept away from others.
Akainu heard someone calling him, stopped and saw Teya who was smiling and saying hello to him.
However, Akainu still had a serious expression, nodded at Teya, then turned and left.
Only Teya was left stiff in place.
What happened?
The hot-blooded youth turned off?
Suddenly, a person patted Teya on the shoulder from behind.
It turned out to be Momonga…
By the playground,
Teya and Momonga are sitting in the clearing.
Momonga put the knife he was carrying with him aside and said, “Teya, you are not at the headquarters for a while. Maybe you don’t know… Why does Sakazuki be like this.”
Teya nodded and motioned to Momonga to continue.
Momonga sighed and continued: “When Sakazuki woke up, he was only very annoyed at first, but I don’t know why. He seemed to have heard of this incident because it seemed that the navy had reported a traitor.”
“Since then, he hasn’t said a word and has become what he is now.”
After listening to Momonga, Teya also sighed.
It turns out that Akainu’s “complete justice” is hidden in his bones.
This encounter became the fuse before his change.
I am afraid that after this, he will no longer be able to rub sand like traitors in his eyes, and he will not tolerate the pirates.
The hot-blooded youth finally became an iron-blooded soldier.
It’s really good luck.
“Hey, is it really so easy for a person to change?”
Teya’s words were like asking others, but also like asking himself.
Chris obliterated his justice for more than a decade, and Akainu carried out the justice for the rest of his life because of one incident.
The road ahead is still very long, and it is still eight years before the era of great pirate.
But, can I really go on the navy road?
Or, one day in the future, will I also be shaken?
The future is still unknown.
Teya looked at the sky, thoughtful.
…
Navy headquarters, underground prison.
Most of the cells here are vacant, because only temporary prisoners are admitted here.
For example, death row prisoners who are about to be executed, or prisoners who are about to be sent to Impel Down.
There was a clink of keys, and the iron door of the prison was opened.
Then there was a sound of footsteps from far to near, and the shoes hit the ground with a crisp sound.
The sound of footsteps stopped outside a cell in the middle.
Across the iron fence, you can see a man sitting on the ground in the cell.
He also carried the handcuffs of Sea Prizm stone on his hands.
The man heard the sound and raised his head.
Although he looked downcast, his eyes were still very sharp.
“Chris, I never thought you would do such a thing.”
“Huh, Teacher Zephyr, are these still useful?”
Zephyr, who was standing outside the door, looked at the former disciple. Even though his face was calm, his heart was still sad.
My former disciple turned out to be a traitor to the Navy.
How can this not make him feel heartache as a teacher.
But when he saw Chris’s fearless expression, his heartache turned into anger.
“I taught you, is it for you to do things that go against justice?” Zephyr clenched his fists. “Is it worth your lifetime to pay for a devil fruit in a mere animal type?”
Chris looked up at Zephyr, then chuckled softly.
“General Zephyr, remember that when you taught us for the first time, you told us not to rely on devil fruits, right.”
“But, you said that your own strength is really strong, don’t the devil fruits you get belong to your own strength?”
Zephyr was startled slightly.
Just listen to Chris continue to say: “You said that you are training the future of the Navy, but what about me? Isn’t I the future of the past?”
“For more than ten years, I can only be a small lieutenant colonel to train those ineffective recruits. Do you know how I survived?”
“My own power, haha, ridiculous. I only paid a small price to get the power of the devil fruit, can’t I compare to others?”
“You taught us how to control our own power, but you always reject the so-called ‘relying on external forces’. Are you sure that you are right?”
Chris’ yelling like a cannon pierced Zephyr’s heart like a sharp sword.
Yes, I seem to have taught many people, but I have never considered what these children think.
Am I really doing something wrong?
Zephyr looked at Chris one last time, then turned and left without saying a word.
“Teacher Zephyr…”
A soft shout made Zephyr stop.
“Thank you for your care for so many years.”
Hearing this, Zephyr did not turn around or speak.
But his body seemed to tremble slightly.
Memories emerged, Zephyr no longer stayed and left the prison.
Chris sat down and leaned against the wall.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of Teya.
Chris smiled and said, “When the kid first entered the boot camp, it was very similar to when I first entered the boot camp.”
However, in the future, don’t go wrong like me.
Since then, Chris has been completely removed from navy history.
He was first sent to Judicial Island for trial, and then detained to Impel Down.
However, Chris was secretly executed for leaking important secrets to the pirates.
Zephyr seems to have changed after this incident.
It’s no longer just teaching students to train their strength.
Usually, I will teach them some principles of life.
However, someone will listen, and there will always be someone who makes him continue to have a headache.
Like Borsalino…
