Back to Get Scolded, Jia Ji: Teacher Zephyr, I Was Wrong

This was truly an unexpected delight. He only regretted not using a Visual Den Den Mushi to record Shanks and Buggy getting beaten up.

What kind of expression would Shanks have when he saw this photo after becoming one of the Four Emperors?

Would Shanks say, "Do me a favor and let it go"?

Not long after, Kibin returned. Jia Ji looked utterly satisfied, practically floating as he walked, and there were even faint lipstick marks on his face.

"Mu Chen, Mu Chen, I really had a great time this round. How about you?"

"Which shop did you go to?"

Jiaji wanted to ask about Mu Chen's experience, but when Mu Chen looked at Jiaji now, all he could think was that he deserved to get beaten up.

Jia Ji looked as sleazy as his heart was.

Fortunately, Qi Yuan had not agreed. Otherwise, Mu Chen would have taken it upon himself to mete out justice. They should hurry back. Mu Chen had no interest in explaining anything to Jiaji. He just wanted to see whether Zephyr would beat Jiaji up that night. He really wanted a good look.

An hour later, the two returned to Marineford and slept for the night. It was quite peaceful, until the next day at the training grounds, when Mu Chen and Jia Ji were called out of the ranks by Zefa.

Jia Ji felt as if a hundred thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through his heart. So guilty that cold sweat had begun to pour down his face.

Mu Chen, on the other hand, looked as expressionless as ever.

When Zefa saw the two of them, his already stern expression turned even colder.

"Mu Chen, Jia Ji, I heard you went to the Sabaody Archipelago yesterday afternoon."

Faced with Zefa's question, Jia Ji stammered, unable to say a word.

Mu Chen calmly said, "Yes, Teacher Zephyr. I went to slack off."

Mu Chen was not afraid at all. After all, he had already made an agreement with Zefa about slacking off. But Jia Ji was different. He had sneaked out on his own, and cold sweat streamed down his face.

When Zefa heard Mu Chen say that, he did not know what to say either. After all, they had a wager, and the entire Elite Training Camp knew about it. The term "slacking off" had gradually become familiar to them as well. It meant being lazy, not working, and not training.

Although everyone else wanted to slack off too, their bet with Zefa was to learn Armament Haki within a month. They knew they could not possibly do it. If they failed, they would definitely have to undergo Zefa's devilish training. Those were not days any human could endure.

"Mu Chen went to slack off. What did you go there to do?"

"Teacher Zephyr, I..." Jia Ji stammered, unable to get the words out. "If you don't tell me, do you think I won't know? You went to Area 18. Everyone knows what kind of place that is, right? And you even took Mu Chen with you. You're pretty capable, kid. Were you bringing in merchandise?"

"There were other students too?"

"Huh?"

At Zefa's words, cold sweat flowed even more heavily down Jia Ji's face. His palms were sweating from nerves, while the other Marines began whispering among themselves.

"Jia Ji, you went whoring? You really know how to have fun. Can you take me along next time?"

"Haha, Kibin, didn't you say you would only love Commodore Smoker for the rest of your life?"

"Mu Chen, how was the ride?"

"It was your first time going there, right?"

Mu Chen and Jia Ji immediately became the Marines' favorite topic.

Mu Chen looked helpless. He had not done anything at all, but what could he say in a situation like this?

Kuzan, Spider, and the others did not react much. After all, Jia Ji had taken Mu Chen out, and as men, they did not overthink it. But when Qi Yuan learned that Mu Chen had gone whoring with Jia Ji, she furrowed her brows. "Jiaqi, today you'll team up with Smoker's group. Don't you like Smoker?"

"I'll grant your wish!"

As Zefa spoke, he gave Qi Yuan a meaningful look. Qi Yuan understood instantly.

As for Jia Ji, he felt like dying.

"Mm, let's go. Teacher—ugh, no, no! I won't team up with Qi Yuan!" Jia Ji still vividly remembered getting beaten up yesterday.

"Armament Haki!"

Qi Yuan did not waste any words. Having received Zefa's order, she immediately used Armament Haki.

Jia Ji watched as Qi Yuan slowly walked toward him.

Although Qi Yuan was breathtakingly beautiful, every step she took a beautiful sight, in Jia Ji's eyes, she looked like the Grim Reaper.

"Hehe—ugh, no, no, no! Ah!" A black eye immediately appeared on Jia Ji's face, followed by a barrage of attacks like a violent storm, giving him no time to react at all.

All the Marines watched Qi Yuan in stunned silence. She was like a thorn-covered rose, even more terrifying than a tigress.

And some of them could tell that Qi Yuan was hitting even harder today than she had yesterday.

No one knew that Qi Yuan was even angrier because Jia Ji had taken Mu Chen out to do something bad.

Seeing Jia Ji in such a miserable state, Mu Chen felt lingering fear as well. He had no idea how Zefa would deal with him.

"Mu Chen, you're next. Keep training with me. Teacher Zefa will take good care of you."

Zefa wore a smile, and Armament Haki had already spread over his hands. The gleaming black fists left Mu Chen utterly helpless.

Chop Punch!

Before Mu Chen could even react, Zefa struck without giving him the slightest time to prepare.

Mu Chen instinctively raised both arms to block. His arms immediately became incredibly hard.

"Hmph. Mu Chen, it's been so long, and you still can't use Armament Haki. You've truly disappointed me!"

"Zefa!"

The attacks came like a violent storm, driving Mu Chen back again and again. The tremendous impact carved two deep trails into the ground beneath him.

His arms were starting to go numb. He could barely feel them anymore.

Mu Chen clenched his teeth tightly, his brows furrowed as cold sweat slowly seeped from his forehead.

It was clear that Mu Chen was in an extremely miserable state.
