Chapter 33 Do you want to join the navy? !
"Get him in the Navy?!"
"How is this possible?"
After hearing Yuanyi's words, Aokiji suddenly stopped talking when he was about to say that the other party was a sword fighter.
Hey, don't say it, really don't say it, their navy is really not very picky about identity. As long as the origin is clear, you are not a pirate, and you have not committed unforgivable crimes in the joining countries, you can become a member of the navy.
Aokiji doesn't know that Cyrus entered the arena because of the murderer, but it doesn't matter if he knows.
Cyrus himself had already been pardoned by the king of Dressrosa, and the navy would not use the sword of the navy to kill the people of Dressrosa, and the other party did not commit any crimes again.
"How is it? Kuzan, wait and ask!"
"No matter how bad it is, let me fight him in private, I really want to fight him!"
Yuan Yi said excitedly, expressing a strong desire to fight Cyrus.
The battle between swordsmen and swordsmen can generally be divided into two aspects: "skill" and "strength". Speed, power, perception, these things are all far superior to Cyrus, but aside from these, just talking about "skills", Cyrus has the value of being defeated by Yuanyi.
"Well, wait and ask, but don't expect too much."
"There is a high probability that the other party will not want to become a navy."
"Although it's my first time to Dressrosa, I have heard about the arena here. Some of the sword fighters here are here to hone themselves, some are death row prisoners, and some are slaves. "
"Many sword fighters are consumables."
Seeing Yuanyi's eagerness, Qingzhi didn't refuse directly, but he didn't want Yuanyi to hold too much expectation, after all, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
"It's okay, I'm just asking anyway."
"Perhaps, he will be interested, but I don't know."
After discussing it, the two didn't watch the next battle, but left their seats in a hurry, planning to go to the backstage to find Cyrus. But obviously, the people in the arena can't let two strangers meet their gladiators for no reason.
Cyrus is different from other free sword fighters. In a sense, Cyrus is still a criminal and has no freedom.
At this time, Aokiji's status as a colonel of the Navy Headquarters became quite useful. After confirming Aokiji's identity, the conference sent someone to lead Aokiji and Enichi to meet Cyrus.
Different from Yuan Yi's imagination, the place where Cyrus is located is actually a prison inside the arena. He thought the arena would give this "cash cow" a better place to live.
A separate prison of about 10 square meters is surrounded by bluestone walls. A transom window is opened at the top of one wall. Steel pillars as thick as a thumb divide the transom window into small squares with a width of at most Able to allow a cat to crawl through.
The layout of the room is clear at a glance, a bed, a set of tables and chairs, a squatting toilet connected to the room, and a simple sink with a light yellow towel, a piece of half-remaining soap, and washing supplies. Toothbrush cup, and a small box of tooth salt.
After the battle, Cyrus has now returned to his "room", his sword leaning against the wall.
It can be seen that although he lives in a prison, Cyrus is different from a criminal. He has many privileges and his freedom is not restricted.
With Cyrus' combat prowess, it's easy to break out of the arena with a sword in hand.
Aokiji and Yuanyi walked into Cyrus' room and looked at Cyrus' residence. And Cyrus looked at the two visitors with some surprise, and looked at Ji Guoyuanyi and Qingzhi with bright eyes.
He had already heard from the person in charge that there was a colonel from the Navy Headquarters looking for him, and it seemed that he must be that tall man. When Cyrus saw Aokiji's face, he looked a little surprised. He didn't expect that such a young person was actually a colonel of the navy.
"What do you guys want from me?!"
It seems that Cyrus has not talked with outsiders for a long time, and when he speaks, he gives off a feeling of lack of confidence.
It's completely different from him in the ring.
Before Qingzhi could speak, Yuanyi walked up to Cyrus, stretched out his hand, and greeted with a smile:
"Hello, my name is Ji Guo Yuan Yi, and I'm not in the navy yet."
"Cyrus, I really appreciate your fighting skills, I wonder if it's possible to compete with you."
"You don't need to be in the arena, you just have to compete in private."
"To be honest, I came from your fan."
Yuan praised Cyrus both inside and out, for fear that Cyrus would refuse.
"Competition?" Cyrus heard this word for the first time. Every battle in the arena is a battle of life and death. Competing? It was the first time he had heard of that thing.
and
Cyrus looked down at Jiguo Yuanyi, who was only about 170cm tall, and Yuanyi's immature face, and he really didn't want to discuss with Yuanyi.
If it wasn't for Yuanyi's hand holding a black scabbard long knife, Cyrus would not have thought that Yuanyi was qualified to fight him at all.
Compete? Cyrus was afraid that one person would accidentally kill him.
"I have never competed with others. I have always fought with others."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back. If the two of you are here for this matter, then forget it. I can't help you."
Although Cyrus stretched out his hand to hold Yuanyi's hand, he squatted down when he was talking, and said to Yuanyi with a look of teasing a child, and refused.
"Uh..." Yuanyi sensed Cyrus' attitude, and agreed with the "concern" in Cyrus' words, but hearing these words in his ears, Yuanyi still felt that he was underestimated.
But Yuanyi wasn't angry either. After all, it's normal to judge people by their appearance, and Yuanyi stepped into the "land of selflessness". If he didn't fight, he would feel like an ordinary person, and he didn't exude any dangerous breath at all.
"Mr. Cyrus, I don't think you need to worry about this."
"I thought, fight with me, you won't be bored."
As soon as Guoyuan spoke, he quickly drew out the long knife at his waist with lightning speed, and after a flat stab, he put the knife back into its sheath. A muffled sound exploded in Cyrus' ear, and when he looked back, a small hole two fingers wide appeared inexplicably on the entire bluestone wall.
Sunlight, through the small hole, shot into the room.
Seeing this scene, Cyrus' pupils shrank suddenly. Just now, he didn't even see clearly how Ji Guoyuanyi drew his sword. He only felt a gust of breeze blowing by his waist, followed by a muffled sound in his ears.
"Good and strong!"
Cyrus murmured, his eyes on Ji Guo Yuanyi changed immediately. After a long silence, Cyrus walked to the wall, grabbed his sword, and walked outside the door. The door of his room happened to be an open space. Although it was less than 100 square meters, it was enough for sparring.
Seeing this, Yuan smiled and walked out of the room with the knife in hand, walked to the open space in front of the door, without taking off the scabbard, and stood in front of Cyrus.
From the beginning to the end, Aokiji watched quietly from the side without interjecting.
Since it was Ji Guoyuan's idea, let Ji Guoyuan say it himself and do it well. Aokiji thought so in his heart.
"So, here I go"
"Young man Ji Guosang, be careful."
Cyrus held his sword in both hands and stood ready. Cyrus had already seen the gap from Ji Guoyuanyi's hit just now. He felt that he was not Ji Guoyuanyi's opponent, but Cyrus would not lose his fighting spirit because of this kind of thing.
He is also a swordsman!
pedal!
Uncharacteristically, Cyrus didn't wait at all, and directly took the initiative to attack, holding swords in both hands, and quickly rushed to Ji Guo Yuanyi's body, stabbing directly at Yuanyi's chest.
Ji Guoyuan saw all the movements of Cyrus, raised his knife to block, and directly blocked the opponent's blade.
"Huh?!" Aokiji, who was watching the battle from the side, suddenly let out a sigh, and he found that Yuanyi's speed and strength had not fully exploded at all.
It seems that it is deliberately suppressing this ability.
The purpose seems to be to fight on the same level as the opponent.
However, although Yuanyi intentionally controlled the strength and speed, it is impossible for the penetrating world to be blocked by artificial will. Cyrus' movements still had a panoramic view.
Yuan Yi accurately grasped the weak point of Cyrus' chest, while blocking and unloading his strength, he rushed forward, and the handle of the knife directly hit Cyrus' lower abdomen, knocking Cyrus into the air.
"Boom!" Cyrus' body hit the ground hard, making a muffled sound.
Yuanyi, who succeeded in one blow, immediately stopped his movements. He didn't expect it to turn out like this. His original intention was to have a gorgeous sword fight with Cyrus, but...
Yuan Yi frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment:
"Cyrus, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Subconscious action."
Even though Yuanyi has suppressed his speed and strength, as long as he has the blessing of penetrating the world, Yuanyi's combat effectiveness is still terrifying. He and Cyrus are still not on the same level.
"Cyrus, do you want to join the navy?"
"I think if you can become stronger, it will be very interesting for us to fight."
