Pirates of the Navy

Chapter 2 Naval Traditions

In the year 1518 of the Haiyuan calendar, the base of the Navy headquarters, Marlin Vanduo.

Huen wore an exaggerated navy cap, a large cloak, and a white cloth covering his face.With his hands in his pockets, his sharp eyes glanced back and forth at the more than 300 marine cadets in front of him.

After a long time, he made an uncomfortable sound, and stood at the forefront of the trainee team without saying a word.

As the breeze blew past, the atmosphere on the campus became extremely heavy, and leaves could be heard falling.

Under the scorching sun, the navy trainees neatly formed three square formations, looking straight ahead.

No one dared to make a sound at this time, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, they would offend the weird-looking naval colonel in front of them.

"Ahem, Mr. Xiu En, you are talking! Those newcomers are all waiting for your lecture."

Seeing this, Major Brannu, who was walking with Xiu En, quickly coughed lightly, moved to Xiu En's side without leaving a trace, and quietly reminded him.

"Hehe, talk? Branu, do you really want me to talk? Let me say it first, I don't have good words in my stomach."

Hearing Brannu's reminder, Colonel Xiu En only smiled contemptuously, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his chin towards these trainees.This demeanor obviously did not pay attention to the more than 300 trainee sailors in front of him.

"Colonel Xiu En!"

Major Branno frowned and called out to Colonel Xiu En in a low voice, seeming very dissatisfied with Xiu En's attitude.

Although he was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do about it, because Brannu was no match for Colonel Xiu En in front of him in terms of military rank or strength.

At this time, it was the ceremony for the promotion of Navy cadets to full-time sailors.

This ceremony should have been presided over by Colonel Xiu En and responsible for giving lectures.But for some reason, the colonel of the navy headquarters seemed very impatient when dealing with these recruits who were about to become formal navy recruits.

"Hmph! You don't have a decent talent, and you still want me to lecture you? Is this the new blood of the navy? Are you kidding me! It's because of this that those damned pirates are so rampant on the great route."

In front of these naval cadets, Colonel Xiu En did not hide his inner disappointment.

The clay figurines still had a bit of anger, let alone a group of young people who were full of vigor.Hearing Colonel Xiu En's evaluation of them, these navy trainees couldn't hold their breath, they all widened their eyes and stared at Xiu En.

This is silent resistance.

"Oh? Nice eyes."

Meeting those stubborn gazes, Colonel Xiu En felt happy instead of angry, and for the first time there was a look of appreciation in his eyes.The corners of the mouth covered by the white cloth also rose slightly, unconsciously evoking a smile.

"Hmph! That's fine, let me tell you how cruel the world is."

Colonel Xiu En squinted his slender eyes, ignored Major Branno's eyes, stretched out a hand from his pocket, and contemptuously hooked his fingers at the more than 300 trainees.

"Come on, you damned brats! As long as one of the 300 of you can hurt me or ruin my clothes, I'll admit that I, Xiu En, was wrong, otherwise hehe."

Those two simple words are full of ridicule.

For those navy cadets, this sneer was more like adding fuel to the fire, and their anger was instantly full.

Originally, they still had many scruples in their hearts, but now they were excited by Xiu En's words, and their minds became hot, so they couldn't care about anything.

Young people are always impulsive.

"Come on!"

First, a person, a hesitant call.Then there are ten people, fifty people, one hundred people.
The momentum of more than 300 trainees was not small, and the movements on the field of the colonel immediately attracted the attention of many people.

In the office area of ​​the Navy Headquarters, a white-haired old woman was so startled that even the ink in the pen accidentally dripped onto the table.

"Peach Rabbit, what's going on?"

The old woman frowned, wiped off the ink stains on the desk with a tissue, and asked another person in the room, her tone full of doubts.

"Staff Crane, it's the movement from the University Field. After calculating the time, it should be the ceremony for recruits to join the army."

Lieutenant General Taotu's answer solved the doubts in Granny He's heart. After the old lady figured out the cause of the matter, she ignored it and continued to bury her head in reading the document.

She knew that to be able to make such a movement, there must be a naval officer stimulating those recruits.It's not surprising that such things are a tradition for Navy recruits when they enlist.

At the edge of the large school field, several idle admirals were watching the "performance" of Xiu En and Brannu with great interest.While watching, don't forget to comment.

"Haha, this guy Xiu En, his acting skills are really clumsy."

Major General Yochimura leaned on the hilt of his sword and laughed.He happened to return to Marlin Fandor from the great route today, but he didn't expect to see such a good show in the headquarters, but he really couldn't agree with Xiu En's acting skills.

"Yes, if you want me to say, Major Branno's acting skills are better."

Following Major General Uchimura's words, someone in the crowd spoke again, but this time, it was affirmation of Brannu's acting skills.

"I think it's better not to make too much trouble. These recruits are the precious blood of the Navy. I hope no one will be injured."

Compared with Uchimura and the others, who are not too serious about watching the excitement, Colonel T-bone looked at the trainee sailors worriedly.For him, the safety of those recruits was what he was most worried about.

"Hehe, T-bone, you are too kind. Letting these recruits see blood now will be good for their future naval career. After all, those damned pirates don't care about their lives."

Major General Uchimura sneered, talking about the scum of the sea, he couldn't help rubbing the hilt of his sword, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, what's the excitement? Let the old man take a look."

Suddenly, a hearty voice instantly attracted the attention of the admirals.

After hearing this voice, all the admirals, including Rear Admiral Yuchimura, swallowed subconsciously, straightened up involuntarily, no longer the laziness and casualness just now, and respectfully greeted the visitor A solemn military salute was performed.

"Mr. Karcap."

Hearing their greetings, Garp, who was eating senbei, laughed and waved casually to tell them not to be so restrained.Then he set his sights on the bustling senior field.

"Oh? It's another batch of new recruits, haha, let me see if there are any outstanding talents."

Garp laughed and sat cross-legged, watching the movements on the field, while biting the senbei in his hand.

The rest of the admirals looked at each other quietly, with a wry smile on their faces involuntarily.Then he put his hands behind his back, his legs spread apart, and stood behind Karp spontaneously, like a guard.

In front of this naval hero, they dare not be presumptuous.

The battle on the colonel field became more and more intense, and most of the trainees fought real fire.

Fist wind blows everywhere, and shouts shake the sky.However, Colonel Xiu En shuttled among the numerous trainees like a leisurely stroll, and that look of ease, in the eyes of those trainees, made them even more angry.

"Damn it, is this the strength of a colonel! You can't touch him at all!"

The naval cadet who was knocked down by Xiu En hammered the ground on the colonel's field, gritted his teeth fiercely, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

For these trainees, the strength of the captain of the navy is like a mountain, weighing heavily on their hearts, almost making them breathless.

"Please, even if there is only one person, break his clothes."

More and more trainees fell down, but still no one could hurt Colonel Xiu En in the slightest.They prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that one of the trainees would stand up and speak for them.

"It's now!"

Just when many trainees were almost in despair, Long Yi's black eyes flashed. Taking advantage of the confusion, he quietly moved to the blind spot of Xiu En's sight, and swung the navy saber in his hand without hesitation.

The strong wind howled, and the blade pierced through the air.The change in the airflow behind him instantly aroused Colonel Xiu En's vigilance.

"kindness?"

Just as he was carelessly avoiding the attacks of the trainees in front of him, a hint of danger suddenly appeared in Colonel Xiu En's heart.The sound of the wind from behind reached his ears, his complexion changed slightly, he hurriedly took a step to the side, narrowly dodging Long Yi's sword.

"Good boy, it's hidden deep enough. I almost lost my sight."

Dodging Long Yi's attack, Colonel Xiu En smiled instead of anger, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.He turned his head and stared at Long Yi's immature face, feeling more and more satisfied in his heart.

"He's really a good kid, with a solid foundation in swordsmanship."

The admirals who watched the battle also saw this scene and expressed their appreciation.Long Yi's neat blow left a deep impression on their hearts.

"Haha! Not bad not bad!"

Garp, who was sitting cross-legged, didn't have any special reaction. From his perspective, he couldn't see this kind of child's play house battle at all.Regarding Long Yi's performance, he just responded casually, and then continued to chew the senbei heartlessly.

"Tch, did you miss it?"

As the person involved, Long Yi naturally wouldn't know what those admirals were thinking, after the blow failed, he stepped back slightly, staring at every movement of Colonel Xiu En with full attention, and adjusted the posture of the next blow.

"Come on, kid, let me see what you're capable of!"

Looking at Long Yi standing standing with a sword in his hand, Colonel Xiu En said with a smile, and gently hooked his fingers.

The trainees were slightly taken aback, then backed away involuntarily, taking the initiative to give way to Long Yi and Xiu En.

A tall naval captain and a slightly thin boy stood opposite each other.

"Long Yi! Come on!"

After some trainees recognized the boy's figure, they immediately shouted excitedly.After shouting, those trainees seemed to have found their backbone, and they all opened their throats to cheer Long Yi up.

In an instant, countless spitting stars flew around the field.

"Hehe, it seems that you little brat is still famous."

Colonel Xiu En clenched his fists, and the corners of his mouth covered by the white cloth raised.Among the new recruits in this period, it is indeed a surprise to find such a talent as Long Yi.

According to the rules, he has the priority to choose Long Yi, how can Xiu En feel unhappy to have such an elite soldier under his command.

But Long Yi, who was pinned on by many trainees, secretly became nervous. He stared at every movement of Colonel Xiu En, and a drop of cold sweat unconsciously dripped from his forehead.

"It's so strong. It looks defenseless, but there are no flaws in it. Is there any mistake, this is just a captain of the navy?"

Long Yi's mouth felt bitter, and he couldn't help thinking to himself.

He couldn't believe that a man of Xiu En's strength was just a captain of the navy.You must know that in the original One Piece manga, the character of the captain of the navy is just a character who only deserves to appear on the scene for one or two pages.

Just when Long Yi was holding the sword and standing still, in a dilemma, a voice that no one else could hear suddenly came from his mind.

"Hey, ants, do you want my power?"
