People in One Piece are so good-looking

Chapter 20 The twenty-one skills of the sharp knife

After taking a bath, it was already ten o'clock in the night. Nuo Xia changed into the clothes that Taotu had prepared for him, and finally the cloth was untied.

He is still wearing a white brigadier general uniform, with light pink shoulder straps and cuffs, looking heroic.

Lying on the bed, after saying good night to Peach Rabbit on the floor, he pretended to sleep with his eyes closed, but secretly used his mind to try to open the system panel.

A faint blue panel appeared in front of him, as smooth as usual. It seemed that the system was indeed as he expected. It was his soul that was bound, following the transfer of consciousness, and not staying in the body.

Nuo Xia calmed down, and when she looked sideways, Taotu had fallen into a deep sleep, breathing steadily and long.

good night.

He muttered another sentence silently, and after looking at it quietly for a long time, he lay down and looked away.

Listening to the breathing in the silent night, sleepiness gradually came over me like a tide, and I finally fell asleep unconsciously.

Outside the porthole window, the sky is filled with stars and the moonlight is cold.

The next morning, Nuo Xia was awakened by a rustling sound.

Sitting up from the bed in a daze, Nuo Xia turned around and found Taotu staring blankly at the ceiling with an expression full of doubts about life.

"What's the matter, Brigadier General Gion?"

"You still have the nerve to ask?"

Hearing his voice, Taotu turned around suddenly and asked through gritted teeth: "Your body! What's wrong with you, huh?"

"Why do you wake up automatically at 5:30 in the morning, and then you can't fall asleep no matter what?"

She looked annoyed, a little crazy, with a hint of... grievance?

Nuo Xia was not sure, but he knew very well that the culprit of Peach Rabbit's inability to sleep was obviously his biological clock that was accurate to the second.

"I have been waking up at this hour for many years, and my body has formed muscle memory. I'm sorry."

He smiled sheepishly, looked at the dim sky outside the window, and began to think about a question.

Should I go out for morning exercise as usual?

If you don’t exercise in the morning, you always feel like something is missing and your whole body feels weak. If you do it in the morning, it’s not your body that you’re exercising. No matter how hard you work, you’ll end up with nothing.

Nuo Xia started to murmur, and after a moment of confusion, he decided to ask Taotu for advice.

"You're not allowed to go."

These were Taotu's exact words. She directly put Nuo Xia's thoughts out of her mind with an attitude that could not be criticized.

The reason was very simple. There were so many acquaintances on the ship, so what was it like for Nuo Xia to hold her body up and run silly circles around the deck or do some basic physical training in full view of everyone?

The majestic flower of the high mountains of the Navy Headquarters, the proud son of the new generation, don't you want to lose face?

"Then I can't do nothing these past few days and just sit in the room, right?" Nuo Xia followed closely behind Taotu, expressing his dissatisfaction with a grimace, "We have a saying in the East China Sea, an inch of time. An inch of gold, Brigadier General Gion!"

"Nonsense, your time is not that valuable."

Taotu was brushing his teeth. Hearing this, he snorted coldly and said vaguely, "It's only three days, just hold it in."

After brushing her teeth, she simply washed her face, and when she wiped the water stains with a towel, she raised her eyes slightly, just in time to look at the handsome boy in the mirror who was easy to fall in love with.

Under the medium-length black hair, there are clear and deep black pupils, a clear-cut and resolute face, and a clean temperament, full of vigor and vitality that only young people can have.

Taotu stopped wiping his face and looked slightly startled.

At this moment, even she, who had always thought highly of herself, had to admit that the charm of the guy in front of her was almost as good as hers.

Especially when you smile, your eyes turn into crescents and your white teeth are exposed. That kind of infectious energy seems to make people forget their worries and make them happy all day long.

Maybe this is the reason why I can allow the other person to live with her body for more than a week, or even go to sea alone to perform tasks for her?

If it had been anyone else, such as Jia Ji, I would have probably done something wrong, and would have simply knocked the opponent unconscious and survived the past few days in the simplest and crudest way, right?

"Brigadier General Gion?"

Nuo Xia, who was behind, saw Taotu staring at the mirror in silence for a long time, and then asked tentatively with some confusion.

"Um?"

Only then did Taotu wake up. She turned her head as if nothing had happened. While continuing to wipe with a towel, she asked Nuo Xia casually:

"Before I left Marineland, I heard someone mention that among the freshmen of this year's elite camp, there is a training maniac who is desperate for training. He basically spends the whole day on the training ground."

"Now it seems that this rumored freak is probably you, right?"

Has my reputation in this area spread beyond the recruit camp?

"Probably." Nuo Xia scratched his head and answered honestly, "If we refer specifically to this class, it seems that there is no one who trains harder than me."

"No wonder you look so uncomfortable after not training for a day."

Taotu hung the towel back to its original place, and after thinking for a while, he said: "In this case, then I will find Kuzan to open a small training room for you. In the next few days, I will give you a pair of training sessions." Just give me some guidance.”

"Eh?"

Nuo Xia's originally depressed mood rose to a high point in an instant, with an overjoyed face, "Really?"

Not only did he receive one-on-one guidance for several days, but he also opened a training room alone on the warship. This was an incredible treatment. When he first met Taotu two days ago, he would not have dared to think about it.

"Well, it can be regarded as compensation for your inability to participate in this actual combat assessment."

Taotu's expression was calm, as if he had done something trivial, "According to my understanding, Mr. Zefa just started teaching you six postures some time ago, right? Do you want me to specifically guide you in this aspect, or something else?"

"It will be all right!"

Nuo Xia nodded hurriedly, then suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up:

"Oh yes, there is also swordsmanship, I forgot to mention it. I am a swordsman of the double-sword style. I hope to get your guidance on the swordsmanship!"

He remembered very clearly that in addition to being a candidate for Navy admiral, the future Taotu was also a great swordsman with superb swordsmanship. In terms of swordsmanship alone, almost no one in the entire navy could match him.

Everyone has their own strengths, at least Teacher Zefa, who specializes in physical arts, is difficult to compare with Taotu in this regard.

"Can."

Taotu still had an indifferent attitude, and after a brief nod of agreement, he took Nuo Xia back to the bedroom, pulled out a sword from behind the table, and threw it to him.

"Take it with you. After breakfast later, I will arrange a training room for you and start today's instruction."

"Oh, oh good."

Nuo Xia hurriedly took the sword. He didn't take it seriously at first. After taking it, he felt the heavy touch and realized something was wrong.

He lowered his head and looked carefully, and found that what Taotu threw to him was the long and narrow sword that he had always carried with him. The scabbard was gorgeous and elegant, and the light pink decorative color was just like Taotu himself.

He raised his thumb, and half of the sword's blade ejected. Under the light, it shone with a cold light. The texture was so hard that when his fingertips touched it, it felt like thousands of years of ice.

"Good sword..."

Nuo Xia stared at it in fascination for a long time before coming back to his senses and couldn't help but murmur to himself.

As a swordsman, he certainly knows his stuff. I am sure that since he started practicing swordsmanship, he has never seen any sword that can compare with the one in front of him.

"The famous sword Jinbiluo is one of the twenty-one skills of the great sword."

Taotu's faint voice came, "For the sake of your good taste, I will lend it to you temporarily, but it is only for these three days, so cherish it. I will take it back before you leave the warship and go on a mission. Understand?"
