As the sun rose, Xia Zuo's injuries had mostly recovered. Although he had not fully recovered, he could at least move freely. However, Xia Zuo was still lying on the hospital bed. This was not because he was too lazy and did not want to get up, but because he did not want others to know that he had recovered. After all, it was sometimes better to keep a low profile than to be high-profile.
The Hydra's recovery ability was too terrifying. Xia Zuo had been severely injured yesterday, but he had recovered today. This kind of recovery ability was too shocking. Xia Zuo subconsciously felt that the fewer people knew about the Hydra's ability, the better. Because the more people ignored him, the more advantageous it was sometimes.
After breakfast, Kuzan arrived as scheduled. Qing Zhi pushed the door open and saw Xia Zuo sitting quietly on the bed. His eyes were clear and bright. The confusion in his eyes yesterday had been swept away, and a kind of determination appeared.
Kuzan smiled, thinking that he had made up his mind.
"Slano D. Shozo, have you considered it?”
Kuzan looked at Xia Zuo expectantly, hoping that Xia Zuo would join the navy. In fact, even if Xia Zuo chose not to join the navy, Kuzan would not force him to join. He was just a little disappointed!
"I've decided. I want to join the navy!" Xia Zuo said with a firm gaze.”
"Why?" Qing Zhi asked.
"I want to become stronger! I don't want what happened a few days ago to happen to me and the people around me again!”
Xia Zuo's gaze was resolute. He no longer wanted to feel the helplessness of being at the mercy of others. He wanted to control his own fate in his own hands! Xia Zuo subconsciously clenched his small fists.
Qing Zhi was silent for a moment. He thought about the information he had seen about the child in front of him last night and said,
"Take care of your injuries first. I will talk to Captain Talin, the leader of the navy here, and when you recover, you will directly join the navy here.”，
Then, he turned around and waved his hand.”
He prepared to walk out.
Xia Zuo was dumbfounded as he watched Qing Zhi turn around.
This! This wasn't right!
According to the usual routine, when Qing Zhi asked me about my arrangements yesterday, his goal should have been to let me join the navy and then bring me back to the navy headquarters. Why did he leave so casually?
Xia Zuo had originally planned to follow Kuzan back to the navy headquarters. What could he learn in this naval division? There were many capable people in the navy headquarters, and it was almost the world of elites. At the navy headquarters, Xia Zuo could come into contact with the sixth form faster, but the current situation was not right!
Staying in this branch, Xia Zuo believed that his plan to become stronger would be delayed for a long time.
Xia Zuo was a little anxious now because the development of the matter had deviated from his expectations. Damn it, the main character in the novel was like a tiger, and everything went smoothly. It was indeed a lie. Hence, Shozo stopped Kuzan."
"Wait!" Shozo said eagerly to Kuzan.
"I want to follow you back to the navy headquarters. I want to learn from you.”
Kuzan looked at Shozo in surprise. When he asked Shozo yesterday, Kuzan had planned to bring Shozo back to the navy headquarters, but something happened later. After reading more information about Shozo, Kuzan had no choice but to let Shozo join the navy branch here.
After careful consideration, Kuzan said to Xia Zuo,
"The naval branch here is quite good. You will gain a lot here. Moreover, I think you should have some things to deal with. When you really think you can do it, come and find me!”
Xia Zuo was confused.'There's something I need to deal with?'
He was alone, what did he need to deal with!
Xia Zuo couldn't figure it out. In fact, Aokiji was very troubled at this time. As a major general who was about to be promoted to lieutenant general in the navy headquarters, he was injured by a small pirate on a mission. This would affect his reputation. Yesterday, General Zhan Guo, who had always supported him, scolded him in the phone bug and asked him to return to the headquarters immediately to complete a confidential mission to make up for the loss of his reputation.
Qing Zhi was also very helpless. How could he have known that a little pirate could actually get his hands on such a powerful bomb?
Although he complained, he knew in his heart that all of this was because he had underestimated his enemy. This incident made him understand the consequences of underestimating his enemy. Qing Zhi secretly decided.
In the future, no matter what kind of enemies he encountered, he would never underestimate them!
As for Shozo, Qing Zhi had originally planned to bring him back to the navy headquarters. From the first time he saw the Nine-tailed Snake, Kuzan had a guess:
The Nine-Tailed Snake was not an ordinary animal-type fruit!
However, the nurse said that Xia Zuo's injuries were very serious and that he could not move around. Otherwise, he would be left with a hidden injury. Furthermore, Qing Zhi had never heard of the Hydra Fruit before. It was only his guess that the Nine-Tailed Snake was not an ordinary animal type fruit. He did not know how much potential the Hydra Fruit had. If the Hydra was just an ordinary animal type fruit, then there was no need for him to specially bring Wang Chao back to the navy headquarters to cultivate. Therefore, Qing Zhi decided to return to the headquarters first and find out the situation of the Hydra Fruit before deciding on how to settle Xia Zuo.
On the other hand, General Zhanguo had ordered him to return to the headquarters immediately. He was not sure if it was worth it to stay here until Shozo recovered. If Shozo could get out of bed and walk now, it was not impossible to bring him back to the navy headquarters. After weighing the pros and cons, Aokiji decided not to bring Shozo back to the navy headquarters, but to arrange for him to be in the navy. After all, the animal type was also an ability user.
In the Four Seas, it was rare to see an animal-type Demon Fruit ability user. Therefore, he decided to return to the navy headquarters on his own. However, he also arranged for Shozo to join the navy. After all, it was good to add an aptitude user to the navy.
Shozo never expected that he would pretend to be seriously injured and miss the opportunity to go to the navy headquarters because he did not want to be too high-profile. It could only be said that fate was playing tricks on people!
……………………
After lying on the hospital bed for two days, Xia Zuo finally couldn't hold it in any longer. According to his plan, he should have been lying on the bed for another two days, but he really didn't want to waste any more time.
After two days of communication with the nurses, Xia Zuo had a general understanding of the island's situation.
Palm Island was the same as Tongmu Island, where the naval base was located. However, Palm Island had a better geographical location as it was an important traffic point in the West Ocean. All the merchant ships had to pass through Palm Island. As time passed, the commercial activities on Palm Island became more and more prosperous. In order to ensure the interests of Palm Island and the merchant ships of the West Ocean, the Navy Headquarters decided to establish a branch on Palm Island. That was the origin of Palm Island Navy Branch.
And now, the position of the highest-ranking general of the Palm Island Navy was higher than that of the highest-ranking generals of the other naval divisions in the West Ocean! For example, the highest-ranking officer in the Tongmu Island Navy Division was Second Lieutenant Old Enz, while the highest-ranking officer in Palm Island was Captain Talin.
Now, Shozo was eager to express his wish to the nurse, hoping to see Captain Talin. However, the nurse did not believe that he could recover in two days. Xia Zuo had no choice but to say to the nurse," Sister, I've really recovered completely. If you don't believe me, you can check."”
The nurse doubtfully examined Shozo's body and found that he had indeed recovered. Therefore, the nurse informed the soldier who stayed in the hospital to report to Captain Talin. After Captain Talin's approval, the nurse let the soldier bring Shozo, who was wearing a hospital gown, to Captain Talin's office.
