Chapter 32: The First Patrol

In the world of One Piece, the colonel is an important combat force from the beginning, and the battle here is more dependent on personal strength, and the commander of the Baron Fortress Jonathan is only equipped with an assistant to Major Drake, which can be seen from the role of the colonel, in Nabaron Drake is equivalent to the second commander, which is an important military base on the great route.

As for Rogge Town, those who have the ability of the natural department like Colonel Smoker will not be equipped with other school officers under normal circumstances, but because Smoker is the key training object, and his character is like this, the headquarters can only take care of him, and the ability of the natural department is too rare.

And the cultivation of domineering is not easy, and Smoker still can't, and he relies too much on the ability of the Devil Fruit, although the strength is very strong, but it is also relatively speaking.

If he had mastered domineering now, then he would definitely not be a colonel.

Based on the characteristics of the One Piece world, the important combat power of the school officers, then the basic commander is the captain, and the non-commissioned officers who lead the charge are the non-commissioned officers, who are many in number and control the soldiers at the grassroots level. And the non-commissioned officers are closer to the soldiers, strictly speaking they are also soldiers, senior soldiers.

The sergeant came to comfort Luo Yi, and Luo Yi didn't need comfort, but he thought of it and found a source for his swordsmanship, after all, it will be used a lot in the future, "I'm sorry, sir." It's not that I don't look down on the muskets, but my father was a swordsman, and he really wanted the family tradition of swordsmanship to flourish, and now I'm the only one left in the family. ”

"It's understandable, work hard, first-class soldier, it can be seen from your military rank that you should have the best grades among recruits, otherwise recruits who generally have no military merits will not become first-class soldiers, I am optimistic about you, but now what you need is to obey orders, there will always be opportunities."

In this way, Luo Yi officially joined the Rogge Town Naval Base, and the next day, when most of the base personnel went to bid farewell to the veterans, Luo Yi started one of his patrol missions.

A squad of ten, led by a corporal, with muskets on their shoulders, stood in a column and marched in unison to the vicinity of the harbor's holds, where the task was to patrol.

Rogue Town is not a military fortress, and there are no heavily defended shore fortifications around it, so patrols are necessary to ensure its safety, otherwise some daring pirates are likely to attack the coastal warehouses here.

Because of the special geographical location and unusual special significance of Rogue Town, coupled with the naval guard, it is extremely prosperous, and it is naturally a distribution center for the circulation of goods, so this is also the focus of the pirates. The reason why Colonel Smoker often goes to sea is to ensure the safety of the surrounding waters and eliminate the surrounding pirates, but the pirates always appear in a steady stream, even if he eliminates more, there will be a bunch of them every once in a while, like an unsolvable problem, and Smoker can only keep cleaning and cleaning up.

The warehouse of the port is the key area of the pirates' attention, there are a large number of goods in the warehouse here, mainly grain, Rogue Town itself does not grow food, it is equivalent to a commercial town, the area is not small, the population is also large, and the food consumed every day is really a lot.

The importance of this place, after entering the barracks yesterday, the captain commander of the team has already explained, and today Luo Yi is the first time to patrol, half of the team is recruits, and Luo Yi came here at the same time, and the rest are veterans who have served here for more than a year.

"Da Da" military shoes neatly stepped on the stone pavement of the port, making a neat crunch sound, and the ten-man squad walked all the way, "Cheer up, pay attention to the surrounding situation, don't think that this kind of patrol mission is boring, and don't think that this kind of patrol is unnecessary." I hope you can make it clear that in Rogue Town, there are very few fatalities in formal combat, and the highest fatality rate here is in patrol missions. ”

The veterans naturally knew it, but the recruits didn't quite understand, their faces were dazed, and the corporal continued: "The town of Rogue is guarded by Colonel Smoker, and the pirates have no resistance in front of him, but they will often raid the warehouses here in order to loot a large amount of supplies, and their opponents are naturally us, once they encounter a surprise attack during the patrol, the mortality rate is very high, so you need to cheer up." ”

The recruits understand that a head-on confrontation with the navy in Rogue Town is a dead end, but the pirates are not stupid, they need supplies, and sometimes they have to take risks, so a sneak attack is the best way, and Rogue Town is not a fortress, it is impossible to block the enemy at sea, so the patrol is really dangerous!

At this time, the soldiers, including Luo Yi, cheered up, although everyone was marching in formation, their eyes became flexible, observing the surrounding situation to see if there were any spies from pirates.

It is very likely that the non-commissioned officer leading the team has the potential of a crow's mouth, and the pirates may have heard the news a long time ago, today the navy has important things, concentrated in the location of the passenger port, so now is a better time to sneak attack the cargo warehouse, the warehouse and the passenger port are actually in different locations, distributed at both ends of the entire island.

There were some strange guys around, and they were dressed in very ...... Dilapidated, to the point that it is somewhat similar to the wharf workmanship. Naturally, there are indispensable workers on the freight wharf, their bodies are generally very strong, otherwise it is difficult to engage in this kind of work, basically they are big shoulders and round waists, and today is different.

Some people who look like laborers, but their bodies don't look so strong, and their eyes are always erratic, scattered around the entire cargo terminal, not very numerous, but very scattered, and some idle.

"You all be careful, there is something strange around the warehouse today, and a lot of unfamiliar faces have appeared." The corporal suddenly whispered, and several veterans were also a little depressed, and the recruits were very ignorant, with the exception of Luo Yi.

He had fought with pirates, and those were pirates who played with their lives, pirates who did not leave themselves the slightest way out, and those strange people today made Luo Yi smell a trace of pirates, their eyes were a little hazy, and they would often glance at the patrolling navy passing by.

The patrol team around the warehouse was a team of ten, led by a corporal or sergeant, all of whom were muskets, and there were four teams with a total of forty people, which was the number of people on a daily patrol. This is a lot of people, and the town of Rogue is not small, and other places still need soldiers to patrol, especially in the more prosperous parts of the town, where there is a lot of traffic, and the muskets are not suitable for use there, so the saber team is in charge.
