Chapter 40: Second Adjutant
Defeating two pirate ships at once, it can be said that the purpose of going to sea has been achieved today, and the warship cannot always take the pirates to wander around the sea, so returning has become inevitable.
Luo Yi didn't do anything special, but still stayed with his own troops, unless the appointment was officially issued, he would leave the current team, but the comrades around him looked at him with great respect, this is what strength brings!
After the warship returned to Rogue Town, taking a captured pirate ship and hundreds of pirates with them, the pirates were escorted to the base, where countless townspeople watched along the way.
Luo Yi followed the team back to the base, and then waited, waiting for Colonel Smoker to give the promotion order, but he was also wondering if he was promoted too quickly? Based on his current understanding of the navy, there are generally only two ways to get promoted quickly, the first is combat merits, although he has combat merits now, but relatively speaking, it is not enough to become a second lieutenant, and the second is strength, if he has a devil fruit, then basically the rank will not be low.
Colonel Smoker seems to be interested in cultivating himself, so that he can get in touch with the Navy Sixth Style as soon as possible, which Luo Yi is very grateful for, but he was promoted so quickly, I hope there will be no trouble in the future.
Smoker didn't let him wait long, and soon Dusty reappeared, this time directly taking Luo Yi out of Unit 36 and heading to the main building of the base, which is the center of the base, where communications and command are located.
"Report." Dusty led Luo Yi to the door of Smoker's office.
"Come in."
Dusty pushed open the door, and then motioned for Luo Yi to follow in, and the two entered Smoker's office, which was full of smoke, and the window was open, otherwise it was estimated that nothing could be seen here, and Smoker's two cigars were still very powerful.
"Colonel Smoker, Second Lieutenant Luo Yi has already brought."
"Well, very good, Second Lieutenant Luo Yi, you will be my second adjutant in the future, and Dusty will take you to adapt to the new job as soon as possible." Smoker was still sitting on the couch.
"Yes, sir."
The second lieutenant does not need to wear the navy uniform all the time, he can wear whatever he wants, but the navy cloak that pulls the wind is not good, of course, there are exceptions, if you are the adjutant of the general, then you can also wear it, no one will care about you, after all, this is also the face of the generals, and now Luo Yi is not good, and he has no intention of dressing up individually, it is still a naval uniform, and the epaulettes can be changed, and the focus is on the knife.
"Come with me, I'll arrange a new place for you first, and you can live in a separate room from today." Dusty wasn't happy with Smoker's approach, but she would do her job anyway.
"Thank you, Second Lieutenant Dusty." Luo Yi was grateful, and the position of second adjutant was actually just a hand for the first adjutant. Both were ensigns, and if Smoker had a second lieutenant, then Dusty would lead him for sure.
A single room, separate toilet and bathroom, this is the treatment of an officer, from the second lieutenant onwards, he is a real officer.
"Is there anything else you need?" Dusty asked.
"I want to buy a knife, a knife to take advantage of, I don't know if Second Lieutenant Dusty has nothing to introduce?" Luo Yi asked, if there is a knife, then Dusty's small book should be the most comprehensive record, but it is her treasure.
"Well, this is very simple, you clean up, and I'll take you to a weapon shop after lunch, where my Shiyu has been maintaining." Dusty nodded, she didn't object to this matter, she had learned Luo Yi's swordsmanship, and it was normal for the other party to want a knife in hand.
Adjutants are idle, especially when there is no fighting, and the adjutants' idleness is mainly due to the fact that the commanders they follow are equally idle, and naval officers can be said to be fighting machines, and they really have nothing to do but fight. Of course, the captains are responsible for the training of their own troops, and they are also the busiest, and the other officers have nothing to do at any level, unless they become field marshals.
"Let's go, I've already told Colonel Smoker, you need a good knife, and this is your reward, although there is no bounty on the pirate ship you killed, but the reward for capturing a pirate ship is also quite a lot." Dusty threw Luo Yi a stack of money, and as soon as Luo Yi took it, it was clear, a million Bailey.
"But ......" Luo Yi didn't want it very much, after all, this incident could be said to have been sent to him by Smoker, and it was not fair to other naval soldiers.
"Don't say it, it's just this time, Colonel Smoker appreciates your swordsmanship and hopes that you can grow up as soon as possible, but you are already a second lieutenant, and if you want to be promoted, you need enough combat merits, or your luck is good, eat one devil fruit after another." Dusty interrupted Luo Yi's words, and then turned around and walked outside the base, she was still very reliable when she wore glasses!
Luo Yi followed Dusty and soon came to the weapon shop, which was the weapon shop with two good knives, "Welcome, does Second Lieutenant Dusty need to sharpen his knives today?" The appearance of the boss made Luo Yi recognize it at a glance, just like in the anime.
"No, boss, this is Luo Yi, who has just been promoted to second lieutenant, he needs a knife, I recommend him to come to you." Dusty's attitude towards civilians is very friendly, Luo Yi thinks it's good, but it's not quite right.
The boss's eyes rolled, and Luo Yi saw it at a glance, according to the character shown in the anime, this boss is a knife lover who once had a dream, but now it is more of a businessman's careful thinking.
"Oh, I don't know what price I want to buy?" The boss asked.
"Oh, Second Lieutenant Luo Yi......" Dusty wanted to explain, Luo Yi stopped her directly, this woman's brain is not very good, it is easy to expose her funds, then the boss will inevitably offer a high price, and the knife may not be so good.
"Second Lieutenant Dusty, I'll tell you!" Luo Yi opened his mouth and said, "This boss, don't you know if you have any good knife introductions in your store?" ”
Luo Yi is one meter eight five tall, in the world of One Piece, he is just the height of an ordinary person, wearing a navy uniform, wearing a navy hat, and at the same time revealing strong arms, with both sides behind him, standing straight, slightly bowing his head and staring at the boss, to be honest, it is very oppressive.
"Oh, well, we have 50,000 cheap goods and 100,000 standard goods for knives at all prices here, and then there are 200,000 and 300,000 good goods, and of course there are more than 500,000 high-end goods."
"Do you have a good knife?" Luo Yi asked.
