Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

Chapter 80: The choice of leader

A few days later…

The six people gathered again at the place where they first met.

But compared to those who stood here two months ago, the strength and temperament of the six people have improved more or less.

For example, Mary has learned the Six Styles, and has barely awakened the Armed Haki and the Wisdom Haki. Although they still need to be strengthened, now that they have learned it, it will not be any more difficult.

The biggest gain for her is the improvement of her physical fitness. Fortunately, Mary's physical fitness has now soared to a value of about 3200, which is already the physical fitness of a brigadier general.

Of course, others are not far behind. In terms of physical fitness alone, the physical fitness of Coleman and Paul next to her are probably better than hers now.

After two months of study came to an end, Zefa asked them to gather at this familiar place at six o'clock in the morning.

"Hehe... Teacher Zefa doesn't know what he wants us to do."

Enxia teased on the side, but she didn't find the right person to tease.

Coleman glanced at Enshia and continued to look straight ahead.

"...Big guy, there's no point in being like this~"

Enxia raised the fire gun in his hand and smiled.

Enxia was also helpless. Among these six people, Mary, Coleman, and Paul were all boring gourds. Paul's character is somewhat gloomy and old-fashioned, while Kuhlman's is serious.

Mary... simply didn't want to talk.

Of the remaining two, one, Ai Xi, is socially anxious and easily nervous when speaking. If En Xia can finish ten sentences with Ai Xi, it is a major breakthrough.

The other Dusky rarely spoke to anyone except Mary.

Enxia herself is a bit talkative, and in this environment, she is indeed very bored.

Enxia was still talking to herself there, and the others just went in and out, too lazy to pay attention to her.

It was not until nearly half past six that Zefa belatedly appeared in the sight of the six people.

"Okay, Enxia, you can shut up."

Mary said without looking back. Enxia glanced at Zefa who was in a hurry, shrugged and stopped talking.

"Everyone is here." Zefa took a glance, nodded, and then waved.

"Come with me."

The group of people quickly followed. When they arrived at the military port, amid the bustling troop transfer, everyone saw an exquisite but somewhat mini warship.

"This ship will belong to you in the next six months." Zefa said with a smile. "Because you have relatively few people, this warship is not very big. There is a special telephone bug on it that can be used to contact the headquarters. If you encounter In an extremely urgent situation, you can call the headquarters for help.”

"It took me a long time to get this ship from Warring States Period."

Having said this, Zefa still had a malicious smile on his face.

"Teacher Zefa, what does the next six months... mean?"

Enxia asked curiously.

Zefa was startled for a moment, looked at everyone, and clapped his hands suddenly.

"Oh yes, I forgot that I never told you about this."

Zefa glanced at Mary and saw her looking at him without changing her expression.

Mary didn't tell anyone about the training.

After all, practical training involves leadership issues, and it would be too troublesome to explain them.

Zefa twitched his lips, looked at everyone, and briefly explained the training plan.

"Originally, I planned to tell you two days ago, so that you would have enough time to decide who is the leader." Zefa paused here, "But there is no problem in telling you now, but - you It will take a morning to decide who is the leader."

"There's not much time for you to argue over this matter."

In Zefa's view, these people are all the proud ones of heaven, and it is almost impossible not to argue over this status.

Just like the first class of students he led before, who are now the three generals. Except for Kizaru, who is difficult to figure out, Aokiji and Akainu, with very different personalities, are both vying for the position of marshal. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

In Zefa's view, almost all of these six people have the ability to stand alone. It is impossible to pursue without some vanity.

Moreover, Zefa also believed that the students in front of him were all smart people, and they should be able to tell that there was something in his words.

However, something unexpected happened.

"I quit~"

Enxia laughed strangely and took a few steps back against the gun.

"I'm suitable to be a sniper, lead a team, etc. Trouble."

"I'm quitting too." Ai Xi said weakly: "I... don't know what the leader should do..."

"A leader needs to be strong enough, so I will not strive for the position of leader."

After Paul finished saying this, he retreated to the back without saying a word.

Although under the training of Zefa and Garp, his physical skills are now the best among the six. But when it comes to overall strength, Paul is self-aware.

"I, I'm quitting too." Dasqi tensed her body and quietly moved back a few steps.

"I...I don't have the decision-making ability of a leader, I'm not suitable."

After saying that, Dasqi's fiery eyes fell on Mary.

In just half a minute, four of the six men made it clear that they were not willing to be leaders.

This was far beyond Zefa's expectations.

However, after being stunned for a moment, Zefa put his hands on his hands and smiled.

"Haha, okay, you are very good. You have a good understanding of your own position. If you can think so seriously, I believe your future achievements will not be low."

Moreover... voluntarily withdrawing means that they are convinced of the only two people left. Then no matter who becomes the leader in the future, this team can stay together.

This is advantageous.

Thinking of this, Zefa's eyes gradually turned to the remaining two people.

Mary and Kuhlman.

Both men have brilliant records.

Mary participated in the Battle of Alabasta and had Crocodile executed. Moreover, one of the reasons that set off a wave of admissions to the Navy this year was Mary's charming and inspiring speech.

Kuhlman is one of the legends of the North Sea. As the commander-in-chief of the first army, he used a weak army to defeat the Germa troops whose individual quality was far higher than his own and whose number was ten times that of his own. He disappeared immediately after the country's defeat. Very legendary.

At the same time, Coleman was older, in fact Coleman was already older than Smoker. He can still make progress now, just because his talent is truly amazing.

The passage of time has made him more stable, and his ability to use tactics has also endeared him to He.

But in comparison, Mary's potential is no less than that of Kuhlman, or even more. And young Mary's future was brighter.

Mary, who has awakened her overlord color and aura to face the Four Emperors Shanks, is impeccable in terms of consciousness and temperament. And being able to face Crocodile for the justice in her heart shows her indomitable courage.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the final candidate for the leader will be born between these two people.

To be fair, Zefa was more optimistic about Mary, but he couldn't say this directly. After all, his concept is different from that of He. He does not believe that leaders need to have an overall view and the ability to command in detail. As a leader, you only need to take into account the overall situation and don't need to pay attention to everything. Most importantly, leaders must be able to inspire morale and lead others with their own focus.

In this regard, Coleman was completely defeated by Mary. After all, he himself came to the Navy after being infected by Mary.

Presumably, there will definitely be a fight between the two!

Zefa thought with some anticipation.

Young people, it is a good thing to have passion! He is looking forward to the two of them each showing their leadership charisma based on their abilities.

However, Zefa miscalculated again.

Mary and Coleman looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

Turning their heads, the two of them said to Zefa in unison:

"Teacher Zefa, the two of us are leaders together."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zefa was stunned, but even the four people behind them had expressions of astonishment.

Enxia was the first to react and shouted with some dissatisfaction:

"Hey, hey, are you too cunning? Teacher Zefa, is this still possible? Then I also want to be a leader!"

Ai Xi beside her covered her face helplessly. She knew that Nxia was just talking about her, or everyone in her class knew that Nxia was just talking about her. But looking at Zefa's expression, he obviously believed it.

"Uh... there's no precedent for this before..."

Zefa said hesitantly, which made Mary almost laugh out loud.

Yes, there is indeed no precedent. After all, they are the first class of students to adopt this practical training method. How could there be a precedent?

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zefa also realized the problem with his choice of words. Zefa coughed twice in embarrassment, straightened his expression, and then asked seriously:

"Mary, Coleman, tell me what you think about the two leaders."

Mary shrugged. Coleman was more inarticulate than unwilling to speak, so it was up to Mary to explain.

Although Mary did not tell everyone directly about this, she had her own thoughts on this matter.

First of all, she must be the leader. The leader of this small group has a bright future. At least for Mary, this position is very critical in the development.

After returning, she had considered what the final decision should be about the leader. After a brief analysis, just as the four of them said, Mary also thought of their disadvantages. After knowing that they had little demand for the position of leader, and even if they did, they would not be competitive, she put down her relationship with the others. The four people discussed their thoughts.

Only Coleman and Mary were left undecided.

She knew that she and Kuhlman clearly had their strengths, and both had their own strengths and weaknesses as leaders.

Both are men of authority, and the others will not object to either of them as a leader.

In terms of hard power, Mary is confident that she can dominate Kuhlman.

But Coleman's Devil Fruit ability has not been demonstrated until now, and it is difficult for Mary to find a way to deal with it. After all, except for Dasqi, all the people in this class are characters who have never appeared in the original work, and their true combat power is difficult to estimate.

You can definitely beat it, but how much you have to use your full strength to beat it is another matter.

And the biggest problem is not entirely about the strength comparison between Mary and Coleman.

After analyzing Kuhlman's abilities and possible changes in the battle situation for several hours, the somewhat bald Mary suddenly realized a question——

Who stipulates that there can only be one leader?

Mary, who felt as if she suddenly opened the right way, thought about it again, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

The Navy has the duo of Sengoku and Garp. Although Sengoku is the actual leader, who dares to say that Garp is not the leader of the Navy? Both of them appear with the same configuration.

On the pirate side, there is also the famous Red Haired Pirates, the Two Emperors Pirates. Although Mary feels that saying that Ben Beckman has the strength of the Yonko is a bit excessive, there is no doubt that he can be called the same level as Red Hair by the outside world, and his status in the pirate group may not be much worse than Red Hair.

If you think about it carefully, isn't the relationship between Mary and Coleman very close to that of Shanks and Beckman?

The redhead can fight, and so can Mary. The red hair has the most domineering and domineering color in the world, and Mary’s domineering color is not inferior either.

The red-haired man is quite respectable, has a very charming personality, and is also well-organized. In contrast, Mary's speech was also very charming and inspiring, and her vision was far broader than most people's.

Ben Beckman is more similar to a think tank figure. In this regard, Kuhlman, who has studied with He for a period of time, also has a similar positioning. From time to time, Beckman would give Shanks a backup and give him a few more backups. Coleman's mature and stable character also allowed him to do these things.

Once she figured this out, Mary went to find Kuhlman that night and discussed the matter with him.

Rather than fighting against each other from the very beginning, causing meaningless internal friction and adding some conflicts for no reason, it would be better to form a leading duo right away.

Who will become the real leader in the future will naturally fall into place as time goes by.

In this regard, Mary is confident that with the cheat, she can suppress everyone else.

As for now... Kuhlman and her ideas are surprisingly consistent.

The two of them became leaders together, with Mary responsible externally and Kuhlman internally, which was much better than competing to the death for a title.

Moreover, another advantage of dual leaders is that when one person has a problem, the other person can take over and support the overall situation, making it difficult for a few people to be leaderless.

When Mary finished speaking, before Zefa said anything, Enxia jumped out again and yelled:

"Hey, did you know this a long time ago?"

Listening to Enxia's somewhat angry voice, Mary couldn't help but laugh.

She did know that Enxia was not angry, but just dissatisfied with the information gap between the few people.

But there was no way, it was very troublesome to explain, and Mary was too lazy to inform others in advance and talk a lot about it. She spent more than three hours negotiating with Kuhlman, the only person she considered a leader. Mary was not willing to spend much time with others who did not have this quality.

After all, she and Aoki have one thing in common: she is actually quite lazy unless necessary.

Zefa listened to Mary's story, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

"Your consideration is good. It is not impossible for the leader to be composed of two people."

"After all, everyone has strengths and weaknesses. You both have the qualities of a leader. It's good to help each other."

"But on the surface, this team must have a top officer, so that your team's level can be registered. At the same time, there must be a nominal person in charge of the handover between your team and other naval forces. This is the procedure. You two Personally, who will be the nominal leader?"

As soon as Zefa spoke, before Mary could speak, Coleman spoke first.

"Mary."

"Um?"

Mary looked at Coleman in surprise, but it was Zefa who showed a genuine smile this time.

Coleman looked at Mary and said in simple language:

"Mary's overbearing color and image are more suitable as a facade than mine."

"And she is stronger, I agree with that."

Zefa nodded and agreed with this statement.

"Then, I will register with the Warring States Marshal according to this standard. During this time, you can get on the ship to familiarize yourself, choose a room, and then go buy some things while you are still at the Navy Headquarters. At five o'clock in the evening, We will gather at this place.”

After saying that, Zefa glanced at everyone, then turned and walked towards the central building.

Mary glanced at Coleman and nodded.

"I accept this love."

"It's just the most rational choice."

Coleman turned his head, looked at the sea, and said without any fluctuation.

"Congratulations! Your Excellency Mary!"

Dasqi walked forward excitedly and bowed deeply to Kuhlman.

"Thanks for your support!"

"Hey, why are you acting like a leader?"

For the first time today, Mary looked at the naive Dasqi with a bit of laughter and tears.

Although my little sister is much more powerful when fighting than before, her idiotic personality has not changed at all.

Coleman also looked at Dasqi with a rare stiffness, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.
