"Ah..." Roma opened her mouth stiffly, but looking at Xiaobai's gentle and bright smile, she wanted to speak several times, but then helplessly lowered her head. All her words were condensed into one sentence, and she finally spoke with a wronged expression, "Admiral... you're being too unfair..."
Recalling the memories of the battle just now, Rome naturally also remembered Xiaobai's performance.
Compared to the last battle, Rome felt that it should be much stronger now.
But Rome never expected that, compared to her own increase in strength, the admiral's change in power seemed even more exaggerated.
What the heck is a 510 machine gun...?
Our own admiral... his combat power is just too outrageous these days...
Thinking of this, Rome was suddenly filled with sorrow and couldn't help but sigh.
If in the last exercise, Rome still had a theoretical possibility of defeating Iniesta... then now Iniesta has completely become an opponent that Rome cannot defeat at all.
wrong……
Rather, it's more accurate to say that... among all the newbie naval commanders now, is there any ship girl who can beat her?
This feeling of despair was something I had never experienced even when facing the boss (when she wasn't in a rage)...
Speaking of which... when I was unconscious just now, was the scene I saw somewhere like the underworld or the netherworld...?
Rome was on edge.
Good grief, I almost got physically exorcised by the admiral...
Seeing Roma deep in thought, Xiaobai smiled and looked away, turning her gaze to the distant viewing platform.
On the platform, the ship girls and the abyssal deans were waving at Xiaobai and Roma, as if they had just watched an exciting and thrilling match, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.
"Roma, would you like to take a break?" Xiaobai said to Roma with a smile. "Let's end our exercise here for now. How about Yamato and the others train with you next?"
"Ah...oh...okay, okay..."
Rome stood up groggily and answered unsteadily.
Actually, after the initial bewilderment about losing to Iniesta, Roma took it quite well.
After all, the fact that their admiral has now become a strongman in the naval base has already spread throughout the social circles of the new naval base members. Although Roma is somewhat confident in her improved strength, she is not so arrogant as to think that she can actually defeat the current admiral.
Rome simply didn't expect to be utterly defeated by the admiral once again...
If she could, she would prefer to lose in a more graceful way.
Rome pouted and followed Xiaobai away from the center of the fierce battlefield, returning to the spectator platform.
As soon as the two returned, the crowd on the viewing platform rushed to greet them.
"Welcome back, Admiral!"
"Admiral, congratulations on winning the exercise!"
People offered their blessings to Xiaobai, and then cast their loving and affectionate gazes toward Rome.
Roma was dejected. She found Veneto among the crowd and walked up to her.
"Big Sister... I'm sorry..." Rome's head was lowered, her voice full of regret, "If only I could have held on a little longer..."
“…” Veneto looked at Roma, shook her head, and tiptoed to pat Roma’s head. “Roma, well done.”
"Huh?!" Roma looked at Veneto in surprise.
what?
The boss actually praised herself?!
Did the sun rise in the north today?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Veneto withdrew her hand and said to Roma, "Your performance in the battle just now was indeed impressive. You came up with ways to deal with the Admiral's laser cannon and carrier-based aircraft. Although you lost, you lost beautifully. Moreover, you are one of the few ship girls in our naval base who can leave marks on the Admiral's ship equipment. For that alone, you can be proud now."
"Huh?!" Rome pointed at himself with his mouth agape, looking utterly amused.
Xiaobai, standing to the side, nodded slightly and smiled as she said, "Yes, Rome is already very powerful. She is already a very excellent ship girl."
"Sister, you're amazing," the Empire exclaimed.
"Admiral, Big Sister, Empire, you..." Rome looked at Little White with emotion, her eyes instantly reddening.
"Hey hey! We'll save the sentimental stuff for later!" Just then, a figure sliced through the gap between Rome and the crowd. "Now that Little White's battle with Rome is over, it's my turn next!"
Everyone looked at the figure in front of them, and saw that the spirited Yamato Shinkai was licking his upper lip, eagerly taking off the ring on his hand.
The moment the ring was removed from her slender, snow-white finger, a strong aura of the Deep Sea Dean surged from Deep Sea Yamato's body.
A sea breeze swept across the sea, causing her long hair to dance wildly.
"Come on, let's go down and practice! It's been so long since I've fought against ship girls!"
As Yamato spoke, he pulled Roma along, one in front of the other, towards the edge of the platform.
"Huh? Huh?!! Huh heh heh!!"
Rome stared wide-eyed as Yamato Abyss pulled him off the platform step by step.
A dazzling purple light shone from below the platform.
"Awooooo"
The massive deep-sea whale leaped into the air and slammed into the water again, splashing tons of water.
"Zzzzzzzzzzz————"
Beams of icy blue laser cannons shot out, freezing the sea surface into patches of ice.
The sounds of fierce fighting soon echoed from the waters below the platform.
Chapter 3399 A Family
The last time Abyssal Yamato fought with ship girls seemed to be more than a decade ago, when she was captured and taken home by the ship girls from the newbie naval base.
For Yamato Abyss himself, this battle carried a sense of triumph and triumph.
Standing on the edge of the platform, everyone watched as the Deep Sea Yamato, transformed into the form of the Deep Sea Dean, engaged in a thrilling battle with Rome on the sea below.
"The Deep Sea Yamato seems to be quite powerful."
Akagi, stroking her chin, looked at the battle below and spoke.
"After all, she is a five-hundred-year-old Deep Sea Dean, and during her time as Deep Sea Dean, she was almost always patrolling and fighting on the sea. In terms of combat experience and sea fighting experience, there are very few people here who can compare to her." Veneto crossed his arms and looked at the battle scene below the platform and said, "More than ten years ago, when the rookie naval base captured Deep Sea Yamato alive, although it sounds easy now, at that time it took almost all of the naval base's high-level combat power, and a lot of effort and cost to succeed."
"Mmm..." Super Yamato listened to Veneto's words and nodded happily.
“After all, capturing someone alive is much harder than defeating them,” Jinan said. “If it were just a matter of defeating them, it would be much simpler.”
"..." Chao Yamato's expression immediately turned sour.
"Ahem, ahem." Changchun noticed Yamato's expression and quickly grabbed Jinan's arm and shook it. "But, but Yamato-neechan is actually a very gentle and easy-going person! Right!"
"That's true..."
"..."
The group chatted amongst themselves as the battle on the sea continued.
To be honest, Yamato Shinkai truly lives up to his reputation as the director of the Deep Sea Academy, which is over 500 years old.
Compared to a novice who doesn't know his own strength, Deep Sea Yamato's combat experience is simply too rich to count.
Deep Sea Yamato's strength is actually far superior to Rome's, but she did not use her superior strength to crush or bully Rome. Instead, she fulfilled her role as "instructor" perfectly. In this exercise, she was able to provide Rome with considerable combat pressure while always leaving her a way out, allowing her to experience more high-intensity combat, train her combat awareness, and improve her combat level.
As the audience watched, they gradually began to praise Yamato the Deep Sea.
This woman, although she kept saying she couldn't wait to practice before the fight, actually showed a kind of elder-like tolerance and gentleness in every way during the actual fight...
Good.
Xiaobai squatted on the edge of the platform and watched for a while. After realizing that the battle wouldn't end anytime soon, she slowly got up and left the crowd.
Xiaobai arrived at the center of the platform and summoned the land-based ship equipment.
The snow-white land-based ship equipment landed on the water surface of the platform. The white and blue land-based armor burned with a few wisps of blue flames. The land-based ship equipment shimmered with a flawless luster like porcelain, like a unique work of art.
However, at this moment, one corner of this "work of art" has obvious, almost dazzling, spiderweb-like damage.
Xiao Bai walked around the land-based ship and came to the obvious damage, reaching out to touch the damaged area.
This damage was caused by Rome's initial artillery fire on the ship's rigging during the battle between Rome and the Whitebeard.
Touching the wound, Xiaobai seemed to feel the sweat and effort that Rome had shed over the past two years. She couldn't help but smile slightly, then opened the ship's equipment space and poured out a bunch of rapid repair devices.
Xiao Bai bent down and picked up a quick repair device.
When Xiaobai got up, a pair of long, straight legs appeared in front of her.
Little White looked up and saw Missouri standing in front of him with a smile.
"Missouri?" Xiaobai asked in surprise.
"What a coincidence! Admiral, are you repairing the ship's equipment all by yourself?" Missouri said with a smile. "How about you take Missouri with you?"
"..." Xiaobai looked at Missouri, smiled at her, and handed her the rapid repair device. "Missouri, aren't you going to watch Rome and Yamato's exercise?"
“I was watching, but when I saw the Admiral sneaking away alone, I followed him.” Missouri smiled, opened the quick repair device, and attached it to the damaged part of the land-based ship equipment. She continued, “This is a rare opportunity to be alone with the Admiral. Missouri hasn’t had this kind of chance lately.”
"I wasn't being sneaky at all..." Xiaobai scratched her head a little embarrassedly, then looked up and pouted, walking over and hugging Missouri's waist. "As for being alone... haven't we had enough time alone together already?"
Missouri put one hand on Little White's shoulder, and the quick-repair device in her other hand shattered in two.
After the rapid repair device was deployed, the damage to the land-based ship's equipment was only slightly healed, and the obvious spiderweb-like scratches remained.
"The current quick repair system is really not very effective for the admiral's equipment," Missouri said, looking at the still obvious damage on the land-based ship.
“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded.
Xiaobai's land-based ship equipment has always been very resource-intensive.
The "resources" mentioned here do not only refer to basic resources such as oil, ammunition, steel, and aluminum, but also to repair resources such as rapid repair devices.
If Xiaobai wants to repair his land-based ship equipment, it will take about a month to soak it in the repair pool, and if he chooses to use the rapid repair device, he will have to consume dozens or even hundreds of them at once.
If it weren't for the Newbie Naval Base's immense wealth, Xiaobai's ship equipment would probably have very few opportunities to go to sea due to the terrifyingly large consumption.
Strictly speaking, it's not that quick repair is ineffective for Xiaobai's ship equipment, but rather that Xiaobai's ship equipment is too strong.
Quick repair has the same repair efficiency for all ship equipment.
However, compared to the Deep Sea Dean, the ship girls' equipment is much more "delicate" and "lightweight", so even the most serious damage can be repaired quickly.
However, the ship equipment of the Deep Sea Commander level is different. The ship equipment of the Deep Sea Commander is "heavy" and "huge", and often requires multiple rapid repair devices to complete the repair.
The quick repair device is designed for repairing ordinary ship girls, while Shiro's ship equipment is a growth type. To date, the scale of her ship equipment is much larger than that of ordinary ship girls, and even the Deep Sea Dean's ship equipment is far inferior to Shiro's. Naturally, the repair resources cannot be solved by just one or two quick repair devices.
Little White picked up the quick repair device from the ground and handed it to Missouri.
Missouri activated the quick-repair device and attached it to Xiaobai's ship equipment.
The deep-sea giant phoenixes arrived after inquiring, standing by to collect the broken quick-fix pieces and stuffing the trash into sacks.
As one rapid repair device after another shattered in two, the damage to the Little White Ship's equipment was slowly repaired.
"Missouri," Xiaobai said suddenly, looking at Missouri. "Are you free tonight?"
"Hmm?" Missouri looked at Little White.
"After training in Rome, how about I have Chaoda take us to Nanxing's place?" Xiaobai asked, "so you can meet Nanxing."
“Meeting is certainly possible,” Missouri said with a smile, her gaze suddenly turning meaningfully to Xiaobai. “However… Admiral, are you sure it’s just a meeting?”
"Ahem." The young man blushed slightly. "Um... Sister Nanxing wants to chat with you more... I feel like you two can get along well..."
"Well... after we're done, Missouri should take a shower first." Missouri smiled, her hands still busy, and casually said, "Admiral, you should take a shower too, together with Missouri."
"Hmm..." Xiaobai lowered his head.
Missouri is moving.
Footsteps sounded behind Xiaobai and Missouri. They turned around and saw Chaoda walking away from the crowd.
"Admiral...Missouri? What are you doing here?" Super Yamato looked at Shiro's ship rigging, staring curiously at the cracks on it. "Huh..."
“Superb and Senior, we are repairing the Admiral’s ship equipment damage,” Missouri said with a smile.
"Do you...do you need my help?" Chao Da pointed to himself nervously.
“Hmm…” Missouri and Xiaobai exchanged a glance, then smiled and nodded, “Then we’ll have to trouble you, Super and Senior.”
Chao Da hurriedly stepped forward, bent down to pick up the quick repair device from the ground, and looked at Xiao Bai and Missouri somewhat awkwardly.
