Section 55

When Smoker looked out the window in the ward, he happened to see Tina and Ron walking together.

His eyes couldn't help but shrink.

"That guy Tina...why are you walking with him?"

"Could it be that she already knows?"

Smoker's eyes widened.

If Tina knew.

That means that the entire Malinfando may know!

He, Smoker, was seriously injured and hospitalized after being beaten by an 11-year-old child!

In fact, Tina didn’t even know about this!

She just planned to go shopping with this little boy, whom she liked very much, and there happened to be a store that she had wanted to eat for a long time that seemed to be launching a new dessert.

Only a few of them knew about the competition between Smoker and Ron.

Sengoku and the others will not open Smoker's wounds.

As long as Smoker and Ron didn't say anything, no one else would know, and when Smoker recovered from his injury, it would be as if it never happened.

But now Smoker has misunderstood and feels as if everyone already knows...

Lying on the bed, Smoker stared out the window with a cigar in his mouth.

After a long silence.

He made a decision.

"After you recover from your injuries, leave Malinfando, no, leave the Grand Line. Find a place to station yourself."

On an island near Marinefando, Tina and Ron ate and drank together.

Ron also temporarily gave up the idea of ​​​​cultivating and enjoyed various delicacies and special drinks as a traveler.

The two of them had a great time.

Little did he know that Smoker was now ready to leave the Grand Line.

After carrying all kinds of delicacies, desserts and clothes back to the warship in Marinefando, Tina bent down and smiled at Ron:

"Tina likes you very much, little Ron, come to Tina's boat."

Although they had only known each other for a long time, she really liked Ron and treated him like a younger brother.

If her classmates in the Navy at the same time saw this, they would definitely be surprised. Tina, who is proud, cool, and extremely confident, can be so gentle and approachable to people.

Ron shook his head at it.

"Tina, I'm not a marine yet, so I can't be your subordinate."

"Really, Tina is sorry."

Tina was a little disappointed, but she still respected Ron's decision.

Ron nodded and smiled: "If there is a chance next time, I will go to sea with you, Tina."

Tina, who was over 1.8 meters tall, bent down and touched his head with a smile.

"Okay."

…

In the evening, after the warship docked, the two parted ways.

Tina, wearing a coat of justice, stood on the deck, watching the small figure gradually go away, with a smile on her beautiful face.

Tina is now a lieutenant, and she still has many missions to catch pirates at sea. Today is a rare rest time.

She heard that Smoker was injured and originally wanted to come and see Smoker.

Unexpectedly, I met the rumored specially recruited intern. He was so funny and cute, completely different from the serious and dull style of this naval headquarters.

It's like a touch of verdant green appears in a gray and dull background wall, full of vitality, which involuntarily attracts Tina, who is independent in heart and has great personality.

"Lieutenant Tina, should we set off?"

An adjutant asked from behind Tina.

"Let's go."

Tina turned around and said.

See you next time, little Ron.

…………

47, Zefa’s plan (5/5)

Ron naturally didn't know what Tina was thinking.

On his way back to his residence, he ran into another familiar person.

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel.

The flying squirrel also saw him, but only glanced at him before passing him with the navy behind him.

Can't go wrong.

Ron turned his head and glanced at the tall and thin figure.

This guy's swordsmanship has definitely reached the realm of swordsman that Director Koshiro said.

Coupled with the Haki of Armed Color and the Haki of Knowledge...

"I am definitely no match for him now."

Ron thought to himself as he walked on the road.

…

The next period of time.

Tina was busy performing tasks, and Smoker immediately requested to be transferred after his injury improved.

Ron would either walk barefoot on the walls to exercise his senses, or go around the Navy Headquarters Building or the Naval Academy. As long as he didn't go to some confidential places, no one would stop him.

The naval admirals and soldiers were quite gentle and friendly to him, but some of them were indifferent to him.

Ron didn't care at all.

After discovering that there are a large number of mechanical equipment for exercise in the Naval Academy, and from time to time, I can see the sight of new naval students practicing the Sixth Form of the Navy.

Ron spent more time at the Naval Academy.

…

soon.

A month has passed.

This day.

Naval Headquarters Building.

"Is it okay to just leave it like this?"

Kizaru sat in his seat and played with his fingers.

"What?"

Sengoku sat behind the desk processing documents without raising his head.

"That boy Mr. Karp brought back."

"You're talking about Ron, hasn't he been enjoying his stay in Marineventor recently?"

"The stay is quite comfortable, but by letting him stay in Marineland like this, will he be able to see the justice of our navy?" Kizaru said without raising his head, "The goal of making him an intern is to hope that he will Can I join the navy? Or should I just stay as an intern?"

"Borsalino, what do you want to say?"

Zengoku looked up at him.

Kizaru stood up, put his hands in his pockets, glanced at Sengoku from behind his sunglasses and smiled: "I just think... he has to see the evil of pirates."

Zengoku narrowed his eyes: "Tell me in detail."

…………

Kizaru walked out of Sengoku's office.

Not far away.

He stopped.

"Is this all right? Zefa-sensei."

Zefar, standing by the wall with his arms folded, hummed.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Teacher Zefa, can't you talk to the marshal about this kind of thing yourself? Why do you have to look for me specifically?"
