Boot barracks.

With the opening of the new phase of the new barracks, talents from all over the world have been arranged here.

No matter where you are, the attributes of people's reporting groups are always the same, and many people have become familiar with them.

However, on the whole, the soldiers from the headquarters had a greater sense of superiority, and some acquaintances had already gathered together.

"I saw those people, they are from the headquarters, I heard that they are the subordinates of the naval hero Allen."

"I heard that Lieutenant General Allen will also be one of the instructors this time, I don't know if it's true?"

"Really, I know very well about this matter, I am a soldier in the headquarters, and it is said that not only Lieutenant General Allen, but also other high-ranking generals may appear."

"Wow, then our session is very powerful!"

"Of course, I didn't see that red nose, he was a soldier under Allen, don't look funny, but he is a fruit ability, and he is definitely the number one person in the recruit camp. The person who ate the Devil Fruit at this age and is Lieutenant General Allen has a bright future in the future. ”

"However, there is one thing you have to remember, you must not say that he is a red nose in front of him, this is his taboo, even Lieutenant General Allen will not say it, otherwise you will wait for him to fight with you."

Overall, at the beginning of the boot camp, everyone's atmosphere was very harmonious.

In fact, everyone understands that the trainees of the same recruit camp will be their own connections in the future, because most of the people who are selected understand the meaning of the recruit camp, although it is called the recruit camp, it is actually a cadre training class in the future, and everyone in it has a bright future.

"Xiuzuo, why don't you get acquainted with them, I see that many people are rushing to greet them."

Shuzo is a very dark-skinned young man with long arms and a tall body, he is a long-handed clan from the New World, a pair of arms can exceed the knees, and many special skills have a strong advantage.

He looked at the lively scene lightly, and there was no wave in his eyes: "I came to the recruit camp to work hard to become stronger and make myself a powerful navy, not to tie up with anyone, such a thing as a devil fruit is just luck, only physical skills and domineering are fundamental." ”

In fact, everyone who can become a member of the new barracks is considered an excellent talent in their respective places, and naturally they are also proud, and some people have their own ideas.

There are guys who do their best to stammer with people like Bucky and Rosinandi who have unlimited prospects under Allen of the Navy Headquarters, and naturally there are people who are not interested in them.

Xiu Zuo just believes in himself, even if he eats the Devil Fruit, he will not envy, if Vice Admiral Allen is a naval hero, he is worthy of his admiration, the genius of his subordinates, who can know, after graduating a year later, he will not be able to become a soldier under Vice Admiral Allen.

Bucky enjoyed being the center of attention, and Bucky, who had been harshly prostituted by Allen, had completely forgotten the heartache of losing Bailey.

The compliments and envious glances of some of the Navy soldiers almost made Bucky excited in his skull.

It's just that he still has to pretend to be calm on the surface, which makes Smoker look very angry, but he has always had a clear grudge with Bucky.

Little White Fur would never admit that he was also envious of Bucky's treatment, and if it was possible, he would also like to be the center of attention, not in this way, of course, but with absolute strength.

For example, 'Look, that's General Smoker, and he's here too, so I hope he can teach me.'"

This kind of treatment similar to Lieutenant General Allen should be worthy of Uncle Smoker.

Little White Fur looked at Bucky, who looked like a clown, and thought to himself.

Naturally, the crowd did not only discuss them, but also many female soldiers who became the core of attention, after all, in the navy, female soldiers are still a minority, and there are very few female soldiers who can enter the new barracks.

According to some statistics, since the creation of the new barracks, the ratio of male to female soldiers in the new barracks is 9:1 every year, which naturally attracts soldiers during the most hormonal period.

In the crowd, a girl with long pink hair also received a lot of attention because of her excellent appearance.

"Tina, a lot of people are watching you, you're the flower of our new barracks." Someone joked with her, of course, that it was a female soldier.

Tina frowned and said, "Hmph, what is there to pay attention to in the eyes of a group of stinky men, and don't say anything like Yinghua, it's so shameful, Tina won't care about this." ”

The girl who was in the rebellious period looked at a group of male soldiers, many of whom were scratching their heads in order to attract the attention of the female soldiers, and some of them saw the female soldiers looking over, and the voice of conversation became noticeably louder. But Tina unabashedly showed disgust, even when she looked at Rosinandi and Bucky the red nose.

Although Rosinandi is very low-key, because of his relationship with Sengoku, Allen, and Bucky, he will receive a lot of stares wherever he goes.

This is what the boot camp saw at the beginning.

When Allen appeared, the boot camp suddenly became boiling.

Not everyone here was picked from the navy, but there was definitely not a single one who didn't know Allen.

In their impressions, such a naval hero, and so young, must be difficult to contact, but in fact, Alan did not deliberately show great detachment.

On the contrary, he seemed mild-mannered. In stark contrast to the other instructors who were fierce and vicious, the soldiers who were already worshipping him suddenly became even more fanatical.

"I'm the first time to be an instructor, and you're also stepping into the boot camp for the first time, we all need a process of getting acquainted with each other, and for a long time to come, we will live together, so the first thing is to get to know each other, and I'll start the roll call."

"Celeus."

"Here."

"Rosinandi."

"Here."

"Tina."

"Here."

Alan paused slightly, looking at the pink-haired girl in his sight, he didn't expect the inertia of the world to be so huge, his appearance itself changed Smoker's fate, and made him go on a completely different path from before, but the two of them still appeared in the same boot camp at the same time.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why his butterfly wings flapp.

"Now that everyone is familiar with it, and I don't like nonsense, let's start now, let's take a weight of ten kilometers first." Alan said with a smile.

The training of the new barracks itself is an improvement of Zefa on the basis of the original navy, and Alan does not need to make any changes himself, just follow the above drill code.

However, he also has his own considerations about what projects to arrange and how to arrange them.

Anyway, the first time we meet, of course, we must let everyone feel the enthusiasm of him as a vice admiral, so that we will get along more tacitly in the future.

Soon, the soldiers of the new barracks completely put away their superficial opinions, sometimes you can't just look at the surface of a person, you can't just look at the surface, you can't take it for granted because he is handsome, his attitude is gentle, and people don't have any shelf, maybe under the appearance of an angel, he is a devil's heart.

This was the first lesson Allen taught to these soldiers.

He is not proficient in how to train Allen, but with the assistance of other instructors, he still has a good grasp of the training skills, stuck in the limit of a group of people, and makes these soldiers who have just entered the camp want to die.

……

……

East China Sea.

Rogue Town.

I don't know how long Shanks, who has been wandering in this world, has reappeared here, and compared to the past, Shanks, who has been wandering for a few years, looks a lot more mature.

Like a young man in his twenties, his height has grown from a short man to a ...... Medium short stature.

In this world, his height is not outstanding, and he is even very short compared to those who are three or four meters away, of course, the level of strength is not determined by height, otherwise the giant clan has already ruled the world.

After a few years, when Shanks came to Rogue again, his mood was completely different, and although he was only an adult, he was ready enough.

So, he reappeared in Rogue Town.

Rogue Town doesn't look much different from before, except that it's a little more prosperous, Shanks certainly knows what the reason is, before Alan came here again, making the entire East China Sea extremely peaceful and peaceful, and the big and small pirates he often encountered in the past were either destroyed or dormant.

Passing a flower shop, Shanks stopped, and without knowing what came to his mind, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Welcome, guest, how can I help you?" A young lady looked at Shanks with a warm smile, and the freckles on her face seemed to make the smile a lot more lively.

The red-haired boy said, "Hello, I need a bouquet of flowers to pay tribute to someone." ”

"No problem, do you have any more requests from the guests?"

Shanks shook his head, he didn't know much about this, and he only stepped into this flower shop on a whim just now, but it seems that Captain Roger doesn't have a special hobby for things like flowers, if it's wine, it's different.

"Ace, you play by yourself for a while, mom needs to be busy." The woman placed her child on the ground, handed him a delicate glass toy, and turned to begin preparing the flowers that Shanks needed.

Ace?

Shanks' brow jumped, a name he was all too familiar with, it was the name that belonged to Captain Roger's supreme blade.

Soon, Shanks shook his head, perhaps just a coincidence of name.

Despite this, Shanks's gaze was on the child, matching the dark eyes of a freckled baby on his face.

Ace didn't recognize life, and watched Shanks babble with a toy in his hand, and rushed straight towards Shanks.

Shanks couldn't help but smile and gently held little Ace in case he fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, this kid is a little naughty, and you're causing trouble to the guests."

Lu Jiu's movements were very quick, and she quickly bandaged the bouquet, and when she saw that Ace was playing with Shanks, she apologized.

Shanks said, "His name is Ace, isn't he?" It's a good name and it's cute. ”

"Yes, Ace, that's the name his dad gave him." A happy smile appeared on Lu Jiu's face.

Little Ace seemed to hear the word dad, his big eyes brightened, and his mouth pronounced a very standard title: "Dad, Dad, want Dad." ”

Lu Jiu handed the flower to Shanks and picked up Ace, of course she knew who the father in Little Ace's mouth was, it was not Roger, but Allen, who gave Ace a lot of novelty toys, and it was only Little Ace who remembered it so clearly.

She said, "Don't make trouble with Ace, your father is very busy now, and he won't have time to come back to see you until he is done." ”

Shanks, who originally wanted to ask something, had to swallow his own question into his stomach.

It seems that this is a happy family of three, and it has nothing to do with what I think, too, how can it have a relationship, this is Rogue Town.

Captain Roger had been escorted here directly from the Navy Headquarters, and it was unlikely that he knew anyone here.

Asked how much the bouquet would cost, Shanks paid for it, then turned and walked out.

He pushed open the door, and the sunlight shone down, leaving the light and shadow of the boy in the room, and deeper, Lu Jiu hugged Ace and turned away as if frozen in time.

After Shanks left the flower shop, he was illuminated by the sun, and his vision was in a trance for a moment, and he seemed to be a little lost.

He shook his head and continued to the square in the center of Rogue Town.

In the middle of the square, the elevated highway where the One Piece Roger was executed still stands, it seems that there is no change from the past, but the person has long since passed away.

Shanks came to the high platform with the flower in his hand and gently placed it beside him.

"Captain, I just met a little guy also named Ace, and it's very cute. I know Ace is your favorite knife, and you once said that if you had your own son, you would also name him Ace, do you think it's a coincidence? ”

"Captain, after a few years of thinking, I have decided that I want to go to sea on my own. You said that the sea is the freest place for men, and I will find my companions to sail freely in this world, and no one can stop a person's yearning for freedom.

I heard that there was a very good young man in the East China Sea, who was very accurate in marksmanship, but he lived a little far away, and I planned to go to him first when I went to sea, and then invite him to come on board and become my companion. Just like you were the first to invite Vice Captain Reilly, I have a hunch that I will have my best companion too. ”

Shanks pressed the straw hat on his head with one hand and kept talking, he really had so much to say to Captain Roger.

But......

"Hey, that guy over there, are you paying tribute to Roger? Stop, turn around and let me see who you are, are you a pirate? ”

There is a navy that directly interrupts Shanks's memorial, and at this time only pirates will do this, and ordinary people are at most just paying their respects.

Shanks had to stop moving.

"Captain, I'm leaving, and I'm going to be like you and become the freest pirate."
