Chapter 34: Rejection of Navy offers
Galen did not hesitate to surrender.
The friendly exchange between Karp and Galen finally came to a successful conclusion, and the warship maintenance personnel became the biggest losers.
Rising from the rubble, Galen stepped back far to the side, keeping a seemingly safe distance from Karp, whose iron fist had not yet been released.
"It's really interesting..."
Karp carefully observed Galen's body:
Except for a lot of dust and wood chips, there was not the slightest injury, and the two punches just now obviously did not affect his physical function.
Karp suddenly had a higher evaluation of Galen's so-called "knightly fruit".
"Shave!"
Karp's figure flickered.
Galen only felt that there was a burly figure in front of him, and the gust of wind caused by the high-speed movement followed closely behind Galen's face.
Galen's body subconsciously tensed, always ready to use skills to save his life.
He has been psychologically shadowed by those two love iron fists.
"Knight Boy!"
Karp, who appeared in front of Galen, smiled kindly: "What do you think of this trick?" ”
"Shaving?"
Galen was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said the name of this powerful physical technique.
"Oh? It seems that you also know the Navy Six! ”
Karp's hearty laughter has a bit of "follow the path" flavor:
"So, do you want to learn?"
"Of course!"
Galen nodded busily.
This is probably the plot of the peerless cheats sent by the grandfather of the world.
"Let's be a navy!"
Karp unabashedly stated the conditions behind it:
"This is a physical skill that is not passed on within the navy, and I can teach you if you come to the navy!"
It is undoubtedly a very tempting condition to become an officer by the way of a military bigwig.
Galen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After a moment, Galen earnestly refused:
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be in the Navy."
"Why?"
Karp, who was rejected, did not get angry, but continued to patiently persuade:
"Isn't that 'knightly fruit' of yours some 'force for justice'?"
"Then why don't you come and become a navy?"
“......”
Galen pondered for a moment, but still said his true thoughts to the naval hero in front of him:
"The justice of the navy, I'm afraid it doesn't suit me very well."
Galen, of course, knows what kind of organization the navy of this world is.
Clothed in the cloak of justice, but wearing heavy shackles, after all, it is only a gun in the hands of a small group of people.
Under the circumstance that the world's aristocracy and such a strange ruling class exist, the navy, which is the most violent organ in the world today, is probably the same as the Beiyang Naval Division, the first navy in the Far East.
No matter how hard the few capable people try to save this rotten body that has rotted from the roots, the broken ship will always sink.
"Why do you say that?"
Karp's expression was quietly serious, but his tone was still very calm.
As a naval hero who even his opponents were impressed by, Karp was never the kind of person who was self-serving, he only listened carefully to the different ideas of different people.
"Lieutenant General Karp..."
Galen thought for a moment and said:
"If you become a navy, you have reached the pinnacle of your level, right?"
"Almost."
Karp nodded frankly.
"Your hometown, the Kingdom of Goa."
Galen paused, and finally said in a deep voice:
"It hasn't changed in the slightest because of your status as a naval hero."
“......”
Karp was silent.
Karp, of course, knew what virtue the kingdom of Goa was.
However, the Kingdom of Goya is a member of the World Government and a model of the East China Sea Kingdom favored by the world's nobles, while Karp is a naval commander under the command of the World Government.
Karp was powerless to change his homeland, even though he was already at the pinnacle of the Navy.
In this way, the justice of the Navy seems to be somewhat weak ...
"You..."
Karp's eyes sharpened again as he looked at Galen.
There was a hint of danger in Galen's remarks, which reminded Karp of his son who had become a revolutionary.
But Karp's eyes eventually softened:
"If so, what is your justice?"
"This..."
Galen hesitated.
He hadn't really thought about it.
Galen's starting point for claiming to be a knight of justice is very simple-
He's not a sociopath, and he doesn't earn experience points from bad guys, so should he be a murderer who slaughters civilians?
Again...
Wearing a gorgeous and dazzling armor, holding a golden sword, and shouting the word 'justice' to kill demons...
It's so handsome that it explodes.
But Karp's cross-examination made Galen finally start thinking about the question of 'what is justice'.
And the thinking of modern people made Galen quickly come to the answer:
"Freedom, equality, justice, the rule of law..."
"Huh?"
Karp was speechless by the flurry of refined words.
"That's the justice that should be in a peaceful and prosperous world."
Galen changed his words again:
"In a place where there are almost no words..."
"Justice, probably the sword in my hand."
When the road is uneven, draw swords to help each other, and fight for those who cannot fight.
Where the rule of law cannot reach, there is a need for righteous knights, which is called "chivalry" in the culture inherited by Galen in his previous life.
This is clearly not a culture that is liked by the authorities, especially the rotten officials of the world government.
But Karp didn't feel disgusted with Galen because of this, after all, his son was ten thousand times more restless than Galen.
"Well..."
Karp agreed with Galen's statement and no longer insisted:
"Since you don't want to be in the navy, forget it."
"But..."
Karp's voice suddenly took on a bit of oppressive power:
"I hope you can use your power well and don't live up to your justice."
Karp didn't say another word, but Galen could hear the intimidation and hope in his words.
"I will!"
Galen nodded earnestly, he was confident in it.
In order to gain experience points to make himself stronger, Galen will go around slashing people;
And the concept of good and evil of normal people restricts Galen to cut only bad people.
So no matter whether the starting point is self-interest or altruism, Galen is already a knight of justice.
.......................................................................
After the two talked, they didn't talk anymore.
Karp, who did not take Galen under his command and was free and easy by nature, was not disappointed, but secretly memorized the young man's name in his heart.
Galen, on the other hand, carried the great sword and returned to Nami and Wallace's side.
"You didn't even go to the Navy?"
As soon as Galen approached, Nami said to Galen with some concern, "That's an invitation from the Navy hero Karp!" ”
"My 'justice' is in my heart and doesn't need to be written on my clothes."
Galen replied indifferently, and unconsciously used the secret technique of disguise.
"Hehe..."
Nami didn't hesitate to give Galen a disdainful look.
After a while, Nami suddenly said with a somewhat depressed expression:
"Obviously, if you become a naval officer, you can..."
Nami didn't say the rest of the words, but Galen understood her thoughts:
If you become Karp's invitation and become a descendant of the naval hero, it will be easy to use the power of the navy to eradicate the evil dragon and save the Cocoa West Village.
"I see, it's about Coco Yaxi Village and the Evil Dragon Pirates, right?"
Galen took the initiative to mention Nami's thoughts: "Leave it to me!" ”
Nami was slightly stunned, and the expression on her face suddenly became very exciting: "You... How do you know? ”
"I'll explain it to you later."
With that, Galen turned around and walked straight in front of Karp under Nami's puzzled gaze.
"How?"
Seeing Galen walking back again, Karp was slightly puzzled: "Have you changed your mind?" ”
"Nope."
Galen got straight to the point and said, "I just have one thing to ask for. ”
"There is a group of pirates in the West Village of Cocoa in the East China Sea, and I want to ask you to help suppress the bandits."
In order to clear out the weakest sea, the little pirates in the East China Sea, to seek the help of the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters is as ridiculous as asking the superior to launch a nuclear bomb for support from a gun tower.
But Karp patiently listened to Galen's words, and asked seriously:
"Pirates in the East China Sea? Tell us about the situation..."
Galen could hear Karp's insistence on the word "justice" in his voice, but he could also read a bit of nonchalance in the casual smile on Karp's face.
It can't be helped...
Karp is the pinnacle of the navy's combat power, and naturally he will not take the little pirates in the East China Sea to heart, which is determined by the natural strength gap.
He never takes the initiative to trouble those miscellaneous fish, and occasionally encounters a few "fist bone meteorites" that are already benevolent.
Moreover, this kind of miscellaneous fish in "the evil side of so-and-so village" ...
To put it nicely, it's a pirate, and to put it ugly, it's a bandit village tyrant who is cowering in the countryside of the East China Sea.
As soon as Galen said this, the soldiers of the Navy Headquarters present showed disdain and contempt one after another.
Such an atmosphere has a more or less negative impact on Galen's behavior of "asking for the people's life".
They must be taken seriously, and it is best to fool Karp to take action personally, so that the evil dragon who can only bully ordinary people knows what a full-level boss is to refresh his hand village angrily.
Galen thought to himself.
So his expression suddenly became very serious, and there was a bit of heaviness in his voice:
"Lieutenant General Karp, this group of pirates is not simple!"
"The members of the Evil Dragon Pirates are all fishmen who sneaked into the East China Sea from the Great Passage."
"Fish-people?"
Karp was a little surprised, the existence of fish-people in the East China Sea was indeed a rare thing.
But that's about it...
Fish-people are so common in the Great Passage that even ordinary soldiers in the Navy Headquarters are not scared.
Galen once again brewed the mood of telling ghost stories, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't underestimate them!"
"The captain of the Dragon Pirates, the dragon..."
Galen paused deliberately, and then raised his voice like a storyteller:
"He used to be the right-hand man of the fish-man hero Fisher Tiger, and he had a great relationship with His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas!"
"He also confronted Admiral Yellow Ape head-on, and even saved his life in the hands of Yellow Ape!"
It sounds magical, but it's really the resume of the Tyrannosaurus of Cocoa Nishimura...
The navy soldiers were already dumbfounded when they heard this, and even Smoker, who was smoking a cigarette leisurely, couldn't help but look solemn.
Galen summed it up again in all seriousness:
"I think this evil dragon at least has the strength of the lieutenant general of the headquarters!"
