That's right, in today's sparring session with Gion, Gion really woke Wood up.
Originally, Wood thought that with his current strength comparable to the three young generals, he would be somewhat of a figure on the sea in more than ten years.
But he ignored one thing, that is, even if he is comparable to Qingzhi and the others now, it does not mean that he will still be able to do so more than ten years later.
The fact that I have been able to grow from a passerby to where I am now is largely due to the plug-in system and my hard work.
The devilish training at the back of the naval academy, the day-to-day combat training with prisoners in Impel Down City, the help of the system and his own determination finally created his strength that is now comparable to the three young generals.
But now that Wood thought about it carefully, he realized what he had been doing since he ended the "Life Simulation of All Worlds"?
Although his daily exercise never fell behind, for half a year, he basically worked hard on the four seas and the first half of the Grand Route.
Compared to himself, after Gion was defeated at his own hands, he directly learned from the painful experience and strengthened his own training. Not only did he make up for his own shortcomings, but he also took the initiative to take on various dangerous tasks in the headquarters, and crusade against the powerful forces of the New World every day.
The pirate group.
Gion himself is a genius, and with such devilish training, it is not surprising that the gap between him and Wood is constantly narrowing.
Gion, whose strength has skyrocketed, also awakened Wood. If Momotu can achieve such an explosive improvement in strength at this stage, can Qingzhi and the others do the same?
When he thought of such a possibility, Wood suddenly lost his composure.
Originally, Wood had always believed that with his current strength, as long as he followed the steps step by step, he would definitely be able to retire with peace of mind.
But now it seems that there are still huge unknowns in the matter!
Taotu can continue to become stronger, which means that the same is true for the three generals.
In other words, if he doesn't work hard enough now, he may still become someone else's backing in the future.
Gion, who was once again defeated at the hands of Wood, was still quite depressed. He was about to say a few harsh words as usual, saying that he would definitely defeat Wood next time and so on.
However, Gion found speechlessly that Wood, who had defeated him, seemed to be even more disappointed than she, the loser, at this moment, which made Gion even more unhappy.
"Hey, what do you mean? You obviously won the battle but you still have a bitter look on your face.
Now I, Gion, have lost, and it is not you, Major Wood, who has lost, so why are you so depressed!"
Gion was speechless. It was obvious that she was the one who needed to be comforted, but now that she had clearly lost, she still had to open her mouth to comfort the annoying guy who defeated her.
"I'm not depressed, I'm just sighing. Real geniuses are really different."
Hearing Wood say such words in an emotional tone, Gion, who had organized words of comfort and wanted to speak, suddenly had a big "well" in his head.
A violent knife hit Wood on the head, and then Gion turned around brilliantly and left directly.
It's impossible not to leave, because Gion feels that Wood is so stinky now that he doesn't care if he wins, but he actually dares to laugh at himself.
Gion felt that if he continued to stay in front of Wood, he would not be able to help but escalate the original sparring to a life and death duel!
I really thought too much before. How could a bastard like Wood be depressed?
He's fine now. I originally wanted to comfort him, but inexplicably he was forced to do so again.
Gion obviously misunderstood what Wood just said.
The "real genius" in Wood's words actually refers to Gion, but Gion just thought that Wood was talking about himself, and implied that even if he tried hard, he could not catch up with Wood, the "real genius".
Because of Gion's soaring strength, Wood, a cautious guy by nature, suddenly felt anxious again.
However, he was actually overly worried. Gion was indeed Momotu in the future, a candidate for the navy, but this did not mean that Momotu's strength was definitely directly linked to Qingzhi and the others.
Because of the emergence of the "variable" Wood, the current Gion is actually much stronger than Momo Usagi at the same time in the original plot.
Regarding this point, Garp can be one of the people with the most say. Akainu and Kizaru have almost been determined by the department to win the future prizes. As for their strength, Sengoku and Garp have naturally tested them personally.
And the level that Gion and Wood had shown in the battle just now was basically equivalent to the level he had tested Qingzhi and the others.
Even before today, Garp had never thought that Gion's strength had secretly increased to this level.
Qingzhi and the others are already lieutenant generals, but Gion is still a major general now. Garp thought that after returning this time, he might be able to talk about this matter with Sengoku.
It is true that in terms of age, Gion may be much younger than Akainu and the others, but no matter in terms of record, strength or character, Gion is not inferior to Akainu and the others in the slightest.
The Navy Headquarters generally has only three admirals, but this is not inevitable.
As long as Gion can show enough strength and value, it is not impossible for her to become the fourth general of the future headquarters, and she will also be the only female general.
Garp walked aside and picked up the cloak and vest of justice that Wood and Gion had thrown on the ground.
Gion's Cloak of Justice was okay. When he first bought it, Garp just felt it was quite heavy.
But when he picked up Wood's vest, good guy, Garp couldn't even pick it up easily with one hand at first.
This one obviously weighs several tons, even comparable to some small ships.
And Wood, this brat, had just been wearing such heavy gear to fight with the Gion girl?
No! It seems that this kid must have been wearing this thing when he had a head-on collision with me and forced me to retreat!
When he thought about this, Garp became uneasy. According to Sengoku's and his own original ideas, he should have been the naval hero who was betrayed in the battle. But Garp never expected that he would be betrayed by the other party.
The person in question is actually himself?
After all, Garp was a respectable person, and he regarded himself as Wood's elder. When he thought that he had proudly praised Wood's improvement in strength before, Garp's old face turned red.
"Boy Wood, if you can even defeat the Gion girl, then it will be my turn next.
After all, we were sent by the World Government to arrest you, a traitor. If we don’t do anything, we won’t be able to deal with that Sengoku guy back home.”
Does Garp care about what Sengoku thinks? Obviously not. Garp wants to take action now, simply because he can't show off his old face and wants to regain the dignity of his elders directly with his fists.
