Came Cap's voice.
"I just graduated from the Naval Academy, so I want to ask you, what should I do next?"
Xia Le woke up and said quickly.
"What? You've already graduated?"
Garp was stunned at first, then he reacted and sighed.
"Has it been two years?"
"After graduation, ordinary students will be dispatched from this division to serve in the Four Seas or the Great Channel."
"But you were already a major general before entering the school, so you have more freedom."
After a pause, Karp asked again with interest.
"Boy, you like to manage a fortress, control a large navy, and maintain peace in a region."
"Or are you free like me?"
Xia Le was stunned when he heard this.
Obviously, this is a path choice for being a marine.
The navy is widely distributed in this world and is responsible for maintaining world peace. Officers below the rank of general will be assigned to garrison the four seas or the town branch bases of the Grand Line unless there are unexpected circumstances.
When one reaches the rank of admiral or above, he is considered a high-ranking member of the navy, possessing certain powerful strength and naturally having greater freedom.
Become the supreme commander or second in command of a fortress, or sail freely on the sea like Garp.
"If you want to be a commander and have the pleasure of commanding a large number of troops, just apply to Sora."
Garp's teasing words made Xia Le laugh as well.
"Similarly, you can also get a warship of your own like me, and live freely on the sea, carrying out various missions."
Xia Le nodded: "I understand!"
Then he made a decision quickly.
"I want to be free like you."
Garp's loud laughter came from the other side of the Den Den Mushi, and then he quickly hung up.
Commander of the fortress, would you rather live a peaceful and boring life, or be free and feel the excitement of this world?
Xia Le was very clear about these two paths, having heard of them when he was at the Naval Academy.
Some students who do well in the branch will be quickly promoted to the rank of general, and then serve as commander of a fortress in the headquarters or at their own choice.
There is no doubt that the commander of a fortress, like a frontier governor, possesses absolute power.
In the process, many secret activities will naturally arise, which can be said to be lucrative and high-ranking.
But unfortunately, Xia Lezhi is not here.
"My strength is not yet at its strongest!"
"The Six Styles are not at the maximum level."
"Continuously fighting on the brink of life and death is what suits me best!"
The breeze was blowing, and he stood on a high place and looked down. The magnificent Marinford was in his sight. The inner bay, the Gate of Justice, and the endless sea in the distance were all clearly visible.
In a pair of calm eyes, a light gradually flashed and became deep.
"Since I came to this world."
"Something should be done."
With the improvement of his strength and two years of life, some vague seeds gradually sprouted in his body.
Chapter 38 Some Interesting
Xia Le didn't know when that vague thought started.
Will that stone blow the Celestial Dragon's head off?
Having the right to choose three devil fruits when being awarded the title?
Or was it the admiration and awe in the eyes of the young sailors when he was in the academy?
He only knew that as his strength increased and his fame in the navy grew, some strange thoughts began to appear in his mind.
This kind of thing, he never knew what it was.
It was not until this moment, when he looked down and took in the entire naval headquarters, that he suddenly realized.
It's ambition.
Standing quietly on a high place, Xia Le's mind quickly became vague and extended, and he inexplicably recalled the past.
Two years ago, when he escaped from the Bocan family, he was exhausted and met a child about eight years old.
Unlike other children, he matured precociously, and his eyes had a maturity and experience that did not match his age.
"Where is your father?"
Xia Le took the half piece of cracked black bread handed to him by the other party.
"died!"
The child said.
"Where's mother?"
"Dead too!"
"Are there any other brothers and sisters in the family?"
"Yes, they are all dead!"
The voice was plain and calm, without even any sadness or pain in it.
This startled Xia Le, and he stared at the other person's shiny black eyes.
"Father disobeyed the nobility."
"My mother was spotted by the Celestial Dragons and beaten to death on the street."
"My brother and sister also died because they tried to save mom."
"That year, I was four years old. I was so scared that I was shaking, but I escaped."
The eight-year-old child calmly recounted everything he had experienced.
Xia Le hesitated. He was shocked by the child's calmness. "Aren't you sad at all?"
Two years have passed, but the child's calm expression and those dark eyes when he turned around are still unforgettable to him.
"I'm holding it in."
The words "I'm holding it in" completely broke Xia Le's defenses.
Until that day, he met the unknown celestial dragon. The other party didn't know him, and he didn't know the other party either.
From that moment on, Xia Le fully realized that there was something wrong with this world.
Freedom? Passion? Dream? Beauty?
It's just a joke!
The truth is, it is so cruel and cold that it makes an eight-year-old child calmly say "I'm holding it in".
He suddenly remembered another disciple that Garp would accept in the future, a young man named Coby.
"If you feel that all this is not right, then work hard to become stronger, climb higher, and change everything!"
These are the words his companion said to Coby when he was confused.
Xia Le clenched his fists at some point, but then slowly loosened them silently.
"It's not where you are that matters."
"Rather, what are you doing."
He turned and left.
In the afternoon of that day, Xia Le applied for his own warship.
A medium-sized two-masted warship, about the same size as Garp's, the only difference being that there were no soldiers on board.
When boarding the warship, two people followed Xia Le.
One of them was T Pengen, who had just graduated not long ago. I respected and admired him. The other one was about eleven or twelve years old, but very tall, over two meters, with strange non-mainstream colored ink on his face.
"Boy, I originally wanted to wait for you to graduate and assign you to the West Sea as the deputy commander there."
"But since you want a warship, I understand."
"However, although I have an empty warship here, I can't find soldiers in a short time. You have to figure out a way yourself."
"Whether you select them from other places or recruit them yourself, I don't care."
Kong's words made Xia Le smile.
At this time, Zhan Guo, who was standing aside, came over with a friendly look on his face. After observing carefully for a few seconds, he laughed again.
"Are you short of people? Xia Le?"
"I just happen to have a nice guy here."
Then, regardless of whether Xia Le agreed or not, he pushed the boy over.
Yes, it is this non-mainstream guy behind him at this moment.
"Rosinante, will you sail?"
After boarding the warship, Xia Le asked.
The non-mainstream navy immediately shouted: "Report to Commander Xia Le, yes!"
"Okay, then I'll leave all the chores such as sailing, cleaning, cooking, etc. to you!"
Xia Le nodded and glanced at the other person.
Yes, the sailor that Zhan Guo sent over was none other than Rossinan Di. I heard that he was the young man that he had rescued not long ago and he had been keeping him by his side all along.
At this moment, his identity is just a trainee navy officer.
"what?"
Rossinandi was stunned and scratched his head.
"Am I responsible for all these things?"
Xia Le pointed at T. Peng En, then at himself: "Now, there are only three of us on the entire warship, and you have the lowest rank. If it's not you, could it be your two superiors?"
Rosinante blinked, then sighed and said weakly, "Yes, sir."
T Peng En hesitated and finally said nothing.
Although Rocinante is only in his teens, he has a great physique and strength, and looks almost eighteen years old.
A moment later, the warship quickly set sail and passed through the Gate of Justice.
"where are we going?"
T. Penn asked curiously.
"Chabaoti Archipelago."
"First of all, we are indeed short-staffed and need to recruit more."
"Secondly."
After a pause, Xia Le smiled again.
"The first mission Marshal Kong gave me was to capture or annihilate a group of supernovas who caused chaos in the Sabaody Archipelago not long ago."
Of course, the tasks assigned by the headquarters are very flexible depending on the circumstances.
For example, by the time you arrive, the pirates have all escaped, or you may encounter other unexpected incidents.
