Come On, Show

Zephyr arrived early today and saw Akainu greeting Gigue.

He was both surprised and pleased by this. Both Akainu and Kizaru, these two "top students," had issues with their personalities to varying degrees.

Kizaru was easier to deal with; at most, he gave Zephyr a headache. But Akainu was different. Zephyr had always been worried about him.

Akainu was too withdrawn, held very extreme views on certain matters, rarely spoke, and had virtually no social life.

As a veteran Marine, Zephyr always believed the Marines were a collective. He wanted Akainu to break out of his shell and actively integrate into the "big family" of the Marines.

Therefore, he was very happy to see the small change Akainu displayed today.

Seeing that the other person was Gigue, who was here to report for duty, Zephyr excitedly ran over. He had intended to clap Gigue on the back, but he hadn't expected Gigue's senses to be so sharp. The moment he made a move, he was detected.

Gigue let go of his hand, bowed slightly to Zephyr, and said, "Teacher Zephyr, I am Gigue, here to report today."

Zephyr smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Gigue's demeanor. At least compared to those two problematic youths, Kizaru and Akainu, Gigue seemed quite normal.

Ginny and Kuma also greeted Zephyr together. Just as Zephyr was about to speak, a melodious voice called out, "It's Gigue! I saw you as soon as I arrived. It looks like it's going to be a pleasant day today~"

Everyone turned to look and saw Kizaru walking leisurely towards them, one hand in his pocket and the other holding his sunglasses.

Seeing Kizaru's appearance, Zephyr, who had been in a good mood, instantly felt like he had swallowed a fly, his expression turning grim.

He glared and shouted, "Borsalino! What time is it? Look at what the other trainees are doing!"

Kizaru adjusted his sunglasses and took a closer look, spotting Zephyr standing next to Gigue. His expression changed, and he mumbled, "Well, today's not going to be pleasant..."

He adjusted his posture slightly and said, "Good morning, Teacher Zephyr. The students are truly diligent, starting their training before the official time!"

He deliberately emphasized the words "before the official time," causing Zephyr's veins to bulge on his forehead.

Considering the new trainees were present, Zephyr suppressed the urge to slap Kizaru and sternly declared, "Enough! Today's training time has begun. Gather in the training grounds immediately!"

With that, Zephyr flashed into the training ground.

Kizaru shrugged and said to Gigue and the other two, "That's just how the old man is, you'll get used to it!"

Then, he put his hand over his eyes as if looking into the distance and said with a pout, "Sakazuki is really something, why did he get up so early? He's made the old man act up again!"

Gigue casually remarked, "Perhaps that's the legendary 'involution' king."

"'Involution' king? That sounds impressive, what does it mean?"

"Um... it's used to describe someone who is very diligent!"

"I see. Hey! Why be so diligent? The time is clearly set, and there's nothing wrong with training on time! Don't you think so, Gigue?"

Gigue couldn't help but laugh. He's truly Kizaru, he thought. Maybe the rumors about him clocking in and out when he becomes an Admiral are true.

Patting Kizaru's shoulder, Gigue said with a serious expression, "You're right!"

Kizaru's eyes lit up, and he naturally slung an arm over Gigue's shoulder, calling out, "I knew we'd get along! Let's go, or the old man will get angry again."

Ginny watched their retreating backs and pouted, "Brother Gigue won't be corrupted by him, will he!"

An image of Gigue wearing sunglasses and a crooked smile automatically appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Kuma shook his head and whispered, "No, Big Brother Gigue is much more mature than us. He won't be easily influenced by others. Besides, this senior Borsalino isn't a bad person... he just has a peculiar aura, hmm!"

"Oh, Kuma, you're so serious! Do you think I understand Brother Gigue less than you do?"

"Well, I know Sister Ginny cares too much about Brother Gigue, so she tends to overthink things sometimes."

Ginny's face instantly turned crimson. She stomped her foot on the ground, "Kuma, what are you saying? I care about you and Brother Ivan too!"

Kuma still shook his head, mumbling, "Different, different..."

Ginny covered her ears and ran off, leaving behind a shout, "Little Kuma! Brother Gigue was right, you're a total dense guy! You'll be a bachelor forever!"

Kuma watched Ginny catch up to Gigue from behind, a smile appearing on his face.

Just then, a loud bell rang, and the surrounding trainees began to gather in the center of the training ground.

Zephyr stood there with his hands behind his back. When he saw Kizaru walking over with Gigue slung over his shoulder, his eyelids twitched again.

Fortunately, Kizaru didn't cause any more trouble for him this time. He brought Gigue and Kuma to the back of the formation, standing in the same row as Akainu.

Ginny went to the female trainees' group on her own.

Once the formation was set, Zephyr cleared his throat and announced loudly, "We have three new trainees joining us today. Before training begins, let them introduce themselves first."

"Clap clap clap!"

The trainees turned their heads to look at Gigue and Kuma behind them, and then a round of welcoming applause erupted, with Kizaru clapping the loudest.

Kuma was the first to go on stage for his introduction. The sight of his mountain-like physique made the trainees below gasp. When he mentioned that he was a Devil Fruit Ability User, there were more exclamations.

Zephyr's expression remained unchanged. He had already learned about Kuma from Sengoku. After all, he was someone who had experienced the battle of God Valley back then. Upon hearing about the Paw-Paw Fruit, he understood what was going on.

He didn't say much. In any case, he was no longer an Admiral. Anyone sent here was his student, and he didn't care about those troublesome Celestial Dragons.

Moreover, since Kuma was his student and an Ability User, he needed to get a general understanding of Kuma's abilities to conduct targeted training. Therefore, Zephyr asked Kuma to demonstrate his abilities first.

Kuma nodded. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, then slowly pulled them apart. A cute-looking transparent paw pad appeared in his palm.

Some of the female trainees below couldn't help but exclaim, "This ability is so cute!"

Kuma's face turned slightly red, and he shyly lowered his head.

Some of the male trainees pouted, thinking that Paramecia Devil Fruits were always so flashy, and this was probably another ability that looked good but was useless!

Zephyr's expression, however, became serious. He could sense the power contained within the transparent paw pad. He waved to the trainees below, "Spread out! Let Kuma properly demonstrate his abilities!"

Can't find the book title, maybe try searching for the author, perhaps they just changed their name!
