Chapter 37: Depressed Akainu

Everyone was shocked after hearing this. He frowned and asked, "Use Geppo to run back? How long have you been running?"

"It will take about a day or so. In fact, I could have Kuma send me directly, but I wanted to use this opportunity to exercise."

Tsuru crossed her arms, glanced at Zephyr who was preparing to land above him, and said in a deep voice, "What nonsense! You actually let a Devil Fruit user leave the warship on the sea for a long time. What if he loses his strength or encounters a storm?"

At the same time, she was once again shocked by Carl's physical fitness. You must know that Geppo is not running; it consumes a lot of stamina. It's too extravagant to use this method to travel.

And Carl actually used Geppo to travel long distances for a day and even managed to clean up Gion easily when he came back. Now that I think about it, this is simply outrageous.

The students on the field felt much calmer than Tsuru after hearing this. At Marine School, they had been with Carl day and night and were already a little numb to his various extraordinary performances.

"Don't ask, just accept that he isn't the same as us!"

Zephyr landed smoothly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tsuru was present, and her expression was quite calm. Thanks to Momonga's report, Zephyr seemed to have the situation under control.

A "minion" landed behind Zephyr, gradually condensing into the appearance of Borsalino. He stretched his neck, looked around, and muttered, "Vice Admiral Tsuru, isn't it already here? The old man just likes to hurry!"

Momonga, who had gone to the office building to make a phone call, also ran back at this time. He was stunned when he saw that Zephyr and Borsalino had already rushed back before him.

After seeing Momonga, Zephyr directly praised him in public, "Momonga, you did a good job this time and were very considerate when things happened!"

"But Mr. Zephyr, I just finished making a phone call. Why are you back so soon?"

"Well, Kuma used his power to send me and Borsalino back, but the location was slightly off."

"I see!"

At this moment, on Zephyr's warship, Akainu and Kuma were sitting cross-legged on the deck. The Marine soldiers standing guard around them secretly looked at the two from time to time and whispered, "Hey, Zephyr Instructor and that Borsalino suddenly disappeared just now. What a magical ability. Where do you think they went?"

"Maybe they returned to Headquarter early? After all, the mission has been completed, and this area is so close to the Headquarter. Which pirate group dares to cause trouble here?"

"Speaking of it, this mission was completed very easily. We didn't make any effort at all!"

"Hey! Don't you see who Zephyr Instructor brought this time? Those four students are more monstrous than the last! Are the newcomers now so strong?"

"Who says it's not the case? The Devil Fruit abilities of the four of them are terrifying. Those pirate groups would be really unlucky to meet them! Especially Carl and Sakazuki. Even Zephyr can't hold back the pirates when they kill them."

"In the past, the pirates led by Zephyr Instructor were basically captured alive if possible. Afterwards, we had to escort those scum back, but now it saves a lot of trouble."

"Stop talking! I'm still shuddering when I think about it. If every Devil Fruit user is like them, what should we do if we encounter them in the future?"

"What are you afraid of? Don't you feel safe with people like this in our Marines?"

"That's right...Hey, look! Sakazuki stood up. I thought he was asleep!"

Next to Kuma, Akainu looked a bit small. In fact, he was already two meters tall, but Kuma was just too big. After all, he belonged to the Buccaneers tribe.

Akainu slightly adjusted the Marine hat on his head and slowly pulled out a katana from behind. Only half of the blade was left, and the broken part was obviously melted by the high temperature. Akainu rubbed the remaining half of the blade with his hand, looking a little depressed, and whispered, "My Devil Fruit ability is really not suited for using a sword. How bad is this..."

Akainu suddenly became a little envious of Borsalino's ability. He could make a light sword out of his hands, and the power of the light sword was very impressive. Cutting pirates was like cutting tofu. Just looking at it made Akainu secretly happy.

He could do it too, but to be honest, making a sword out of magma was not as straightforward as firing a few magma punches.

When he was practicing swordsmanship with Borsalino in school, he didn't think much of it. It wasn't until he went out to sea to actually fight that he realized that swordsmanship was indeed a bit useless to him.

He just wanted to give up, but he was a little reluctant. After all, he had really worked hard to practice before...

Kuma looked at him silently and said, "Brother Carl is right, you're really not suited for using a sword."

Akainu was stunned for a moment. He still valued Carl's words and quickly asked, "Did Carl also say this? What exactly did he say?"

Kuma hesitated for a moment and then slowly said, "He said you were taking off your pants to fart..."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"What a waste!"

"..."

The classic remark from Earth immediately silenced Akainu, but he wasn't angry. The words were to the point, but they sounded a bit harsh.

Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Akainu looked more and more irritated. He threw the broken sword back and let it fall off the deck, finally sinking into the sea.

After Akainu threw the sword away, he felt a sudden relief in his heart, as if a burden had been lifted, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Kuma looked at him and nodded, then suddenly said, "Well, you finally pulled your pants up."

In Carl's absence, Kuma showed his hidden sarcastic side, but of course, he didn't mean any harm.

Akainu's body stiffened, but fortunately, he knew that Kuma was an honest man and didn't mean any harm. He also helped him untie a knot in his heart, so he didn't take it to heart.

If it were Borsalino, he'd have to show him why the monkey's butt is so red.

He adjusted his hat again out of habit and asked, "Kuma, Instructor Zephyr left in a hurry just now and didn't say what happened. Why don't we go back to Headquarter in advance and take a look?"

"Forget it. If we leave, who will protect this place?"

"Makes sense."

Akainu agreed with what Kuma said. How could a qualified Marine leave his post without permission?

Well, Carl doesn't count; he made the report.

Thinking of this, Akainu gave Kuma an approving look, then sat cross-legged next to Kuma again. The two of them stopped talking and stood on the deck like two sculptures, making everyone around feel very safe.
