Marin Vando.

The summer sun hung high in the middle of the sky, the dreary air seemed to freeze the human body, the heat was rolling outside, and only the occasional sea breeze from the harbor brought a hint of coolness.

On the training ground, Zefa and several of his subordinates trained another batch of recruits in the scorching light. Compared to the idleness of a few instructors, the uniforms of the hard-trained recruits were soaked with sweat, and the feeling of their clothes sticking tightly to their bodies made them almost crazy.

If happiness is to tickle when it's itchy, then the recruits at this time must be the most unfortunate people.

But even then, no one dared to move, because a few minutes ago a new recruit who had twisted his body had been punished from standing upside down, and his painful appearance of wanting to die was a good example for the recruits.

It is this kind of rigorous training that has taught batch after batch of naval backbones to be able to maintain basic peace in this era of pirates.

Zefa, who was standing in the sun on the side, used his slightly dark skin to absorb the heat of the sun, looking at the sweaty recruits, he gradually lost his mind: "This kid Lei doesn't know if he has read the information carefully, but I came from the spy department." ”

Office of the Meteorological Research Troops.

If someone walks in, they will definitely find that the temperature here is completely different from the outside, because the cold air comes out of Lei's body from time to time, and the whole room becomes cool.

Lei read the information in his hand several times, and the detailed information made Lei know the first half of their lives well, "Will the personal profile in the interview be so detailed now?" Shaking his head, Ray put down the information and thought about what to do next.

"Now that I've recruited enough people, won't I have nothing to do?" Slumped in his chair, Ray looked at the ceiling blankly, his mind blank, motionless.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

Before Lei could speak, the yellow ape's sloppy face came through the crack in the door, and his flirtatious expression and the look between his eyebrows made people look angry.

"Rare guest! Lieutenant General Yellow Ape! I wonder what you're doing here? The moment the yellow ape came in, Lei immediately made a serious appearance, sat straight in the chair, and at the same time flipped through the information decently.

Without answering Lei's question, the yellow ape glanced at the room, and said with a smile in his mouth: "You have changed quite a lot here, there was nothing when you came last time, it seems that you have really moved a lot of things from the warehouse!" ”

Pointing to the chair in front of him, Lei made a gesture to the yellow ape to sit down: "No way, do it yourself, you have enough food and clothing, the marshal of the Warring States only gave me a name and an empty shell, how can I set up a department." ”

Sitting on the chair, the yellow ape unceremoniously poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Lei, who had only been in contact with the yellow ape a few times, didn't know what to say to him for a while, so he had to watch him drink tea, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table.

In this way, the silence lasted for a long time, and all that remained in the room was the sound of thunder striking the table and the ticking of the hands of the clock.

After drinking two cups of tea, seeing the information on Lei's table, Huang Ape couldn't help but finally speak: "Lei, I heard that your department is short of people now, what's going on now?" ”

"Ahh I've already finished looking for them, and I just finished interviewing them a while ago. What's wrong? Hearing the yellow ape finally speak, Ray woke up from his wandering.

"Really? Then don't bother. The yellow ape's expression was a little disappointed, as if something was bothering him.

Seeing that the yellow ape got up and wanted to leave, Lei hurriedly said: "If you have something, you might as well say it, maybe I can help you." ”

Lei Zheng was worried that he was too bored to stay here, and it would be great if the yellow ape had something unhappy to say to make himself happy, and he also wanted to ease the relationship between Zefa and the yellow ape through himself.

Pressing his hand on the table, Yellow Ape hesitated a few times, but eventually he sat down again.

"Not long ago, I rescued a child from pirates on a mission, and I wanted to send him to an orphanage, but I didn't expect that the child would follow me, saying that he wanted to repay me for saving my life, and I couldn't refuse directly, so I let him follow me." The yellow ape's tone slowly corrected at this time, and he spoke more fluently than anyone else.

"Isn't that good? This shows that this child knows how to be grateful! Lei looked at the yellow ape puzzled.

"Good what? I don't have time to take care of him, and I can't always leave him alone in my room, and it's not old enough to send him directly to the Navy as a recruit, and it's a real trouble for a child. The yellow ape's usual relaxed expression of mastering everything was gone, and he complained with a long sigh.

"So you want to throw him at me?" Lei looked at the yellow ape with an expression that he had mistaken you, he didn't expect that the yellow ape's mind was not to throw trouble to himself.

Even if he was poked in his heart, the yellow ape didn't feel guilty at all, but said calmly: "Anyway, you're not too old, just be a playmate or something." ”

But after seeing Lei's darkening face, the yellow ape hurriedly changed his words: "Just kidding, in fact, I think this kid is very talented in physical skills, but my own words may not be able to teach him well, after all, my physical skills and fruits are completely combined, so I want to entrust him to you." ”

Although Yellow Ape didn't mention Zefa's name, Ray still heard Yellow Ape's intention to ask Zefa to guide the child, and it was undoubtedly wise to ask Ray in the face of tensions between him and Zefa.

Thinking that this was a good opportunity, Lei glared at the yellow ape fiercely a few times with his eyes before he replied, "Okay! What's the child's name? ”

The yellow ape's face was happy, and his name blurted out.

"Sentomaru."

......

The first half of the Great Passage is an uninhabited desert island.

In the dense jungle, there were signs of human activity on a deserted island that was originally only wild beasts, and a few wisps of cooking smoke slowly rose from the clearing in the distance.

"Starting today, you will have a one-month actual combat assessment. On this desert island, there are ten hidden secret doors, each containing a document, but the secret door needs a key to open, otherwise the contents inside will be damaged. I have given ten of you the key to open the secret door, and those who do not have the key need to judge which one has the key and then snatch it, and those who have the key have to hide themselves from being discovered. In addition, it is not allowed to attack anyone who has already obtained the documents, and in the end, only those who bring the documents back can become members of CP9. A masked man explained the assessment rules to the hundreds of CP9 reservists in front of him.

"So, let's get started!"
