Pirates: Awakening of the Divine Religion, I just want to teach and preach Chapter 025

Marine Headquarters, Military Academy.

Wayne familiar walked through several blocks and entered the military academy’s main gate.

As soon as he stepped through the gate, he saw a teaching building that had been affected by the pirate retaliation incident that day. It was now cordoned off, and many construction workers were clearing the debris from the collapsed structure.

Due to his shelling that day, the building’s load-bearing walls were destroyed.

Most of the building had collapsed and was basically unusable, so it could only be completely demolished.

“Instructor Wayne is here?”

“Good morning.”

“How’s your recovery?”

Greeting several familiar faculty members along the way, Wayne stepped into the main teaching building.

Walking up the stairs, through the corridor, he stopped in front of an office door.

“Chief Instructor’s Office.”

Wayne glanced at the nameplate on the door, raised his hand, and gently knocked.

Since Zephyr joined the military academy as the chief instructor of the Marine training camp, this vacant office in the teaching building was utilized and became Zephyr’s dedicated office.

“Come in.”

A deep, powerful voice came from inside the door.

Wayne straightened his collar, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

In the spacious and tidy office, Zephyr’s burly figure sat behind the desk, currently engrossed in reviewing a document.

“Teacher Zephyr.”

Wayne raised his hand in a military salute and said in a deep voice.

Zephyr slowly looked up, adjusted his glasses, scrutinized the Marine Lieutenant Colonel, and showed a satisfied smile.

“Hmm, good, full of spirit.”

“You’ve read the document I gave you, haven’t you?”

“Any thoughts?”

Wayne nodded and said, “Yes, Teacher Zephyr, I think Teacher Zephyr’s measures to reform the training camp are very wise.

“To be frank, during my time teaching at the military academy, I did find many problems.

“Simplifying teaching, focusing more on practical combat and the cultivation of elite officers, I believe this direction is an absolutely correct decision.”

He knew Zephyr’s personality didn’t like beating around the bush, so he went straight to the point and frankly stated his thoughts.

Zephyr chuckled, “You kid, don’t just flatter me. The training camp reform is actually a bold experiment.

“After all, investing such a massive amount of resources into 20 new recruits, if it doesn’t yield any results in the end, I’ll be a sinner.”

Wayne shook his head and said, “Innovation is always accompanied by trial and error. I believe the higher-ups at Headquarters are also very clear about this.”

Zephyr smiled, closed the document in his hand, and stood up from his chair.

“Then come with me. From today onwards, we two will be the veterans of this training camp.”

Military Academy, Parade Ground.

The traces of the fierce battle between Wayne and that group of “pirates” had been cleaned up.

It was morning, but the sun was already starting to become scorching.

When Wayne followed Zephyr to the parade ground, he immediately saw a group of young people already gathered there.

Their performances varied, and Wayne’s gaze quickly searched through the crowd, soon finding the people he was looking for.

It wasn’t for any other reason, but those two individuals stood out too much among the group.

Their figures were tall and unusual. By Wayne’s judgment, those two guys were nearly three meters tall.

Appearing in the crowd, they were like two small giants.

One of them was wearing an open red shirt, revealing bronze skin and sharply defined, strong muscles, giving off a powerful explosive force.

He wore a peaked military cap, with the word “MARINE” imprinted on the white cap, and a long sword with a red hilt strapped to his back.

Under the military cap was a stern, square face. Although he was in his early twenties, his expression was incredibly cold and gloomy, looking as if the whole world owed him money.

Despite the scorching summer weather, he stood motionless in the center of the hot, sandy parade ground.

His facial features were sharp, like a statue full of oppressive presence.

Perhaps because of his exceptionally gloomy and strong aura, he gave off a feeling of “do not approach.”

So other military academy freshmen instinctively moved away, keeping a distance from him.

“Sakazuki…”

Wayne squinted, scrutinizing him, and murmured in his heart.

This was one of the future Marine Three Admirals, Akainu Sakazuki.

As if sensing Wayne’s gaze, Sakazuki slightly raised his head, saw the former smiling and nodding at him, and couldn’t help but frown.

Wayne: ……

Is he really that cold?

What an impolite fellow…

Feeling snubbed, Wayne helplessly shifted his gaze to the other person.

That person’s demeanor was completely different from Sakazuki’s seriousness and rigidity.

He leaned lazily against a cannon, hands in his pockets, with a casual, devil-may-care attitude.

He wore a dull yellow short-sleeved shirt over a white undershirt.

Despite the scorching heat, he wore a knitted beanie with the Marine seagull emblem, and his messy black hair peeked out from under the beanie.

He wore exaggerated toad-style sunglasses, covering most of his face, but they couldn’t hide his lecherous aura.

A half-smile, half-sneer seemed permanently etched on his lips.

Borsalino, one of the future Marine Three Admirals, Marine codename “Kizaru.”

At this moment, Borsalino also saw Wayne looking at him and waved with a grin.

Wayne: ……

No, why is this guy’s smile so punchable?

I have a feeling these two guys are not easy to deal with…

Wayne sighed in his heart, his mouth twitching slightly.

To take these two uniquely-tempered individuals as his disciples and gain their recognition would be a long and arduous journey.

Thinking this, Wayne’s gaze searched the crowd again.

Where’s Gion?

Wasn’t her name on the list too?

Why didn’t he see her?

After some searching, Wayne finally found a figure constantly trying to hide in the crowd.

A subtle, intrigued smile curved his lips.

Today, Gion had completely changed her usual striking and beautiful style, dressing extremely low-key, as if she was afraid of being discovered.

She wore a wide-brimmed military cap that almost covered half of her face.

Her beautiful black hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she wore a standard military uniform.

Black military boots on her feet made her look heroic and dashing.

“He can’t see me… he can’t see me…”

“I changed my makeup today, and I even changed into clothes I don’t usually wear. He definitely won’t recognize me…”

As if sensing Wayne’s gaze sweeping towards her.

Gion’s fair and smooth face almost turned red enough to drip water.

Inside her military boots, her ten toes curled slightly.

“He can’t see me… he can’t see me…”
