The next day.

Four o'clock in the morning.

It's dark.

At this time, in the harbor in front of the island of Marinfando, a group of crooked and yawning sailors were standing here.

The group of guys barely opened their heavy eyelids, breathed in the fresh air that belonged to the Great Voyage, and after taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, the group of sleepy and dozing sailors lowered their heads and whispered to themselves.

"By the way, I feel like I've missed my date with the goddess, and I don't know if this dream will be renewed tomorrow."

A sleepy-eyed sailor continued to mutter quietly as he looked at the very energetic Asuka standing in front of him.

"I thought that after arriving at the headquarters, I would be promoted and raised, go to the peak of my life, and even meet the goddess of my dreams often during the holidays...

I didn't expect that..."

Hearing this, the sailor next to him also looked at the flying bird standing at the front of the line, and said with emotion.

"Yes, I originally thought that after being recommended from the Four Seas Branch to the Navy Headquarters, the justice in my heart would be better displayed, and the road to the end of justice in my heart would become broader..."

As he spoke, he looked up at the beautiful Milky Way in the sky and said with a skeptical expression.

"I didn't expect that the only change in coming to the Navy Headquarters was that our commander was changed from Colonel Monka to Colonel Asuka.

Oh... The salary here in the headquarters is a little more than when I was in the branch.

The food in the headquarters is also good... Much better than Madame Monka's cooking. ”

Asuka stood at the front of the line, his eyes constantly scanning the whispering guys in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"Alda Hamon."

"Here!"

"Harmon, what are you muttering?"

"Hamon was so happy to see Colonel Asuka again that he couldn't help but say a few more words."

Hearing this, Asuka glanced at him, then waved at him to return to the group.

To be honest, he didn't expect that guy Mengka to work so hard to send talents to the headquarters, and he didn't know where he got so many talents to send to the headquarters.

If it weren't for the fact that this group of people had been tested by the records officials of the headquarters, he really thought that the guy in Mengka had collected black money from others, and all the garbage began to be stuffed into the headquarters.

Thinking of this, Asuka glanced at the sun on the horizon that was about to pierce the darkness, and then he turned his head to look at the sailors in front of him and commanded.

"Turn on the image phone bug!"

As Asuka's order was delivered, the group of sailors came out from the back of the team carrying two large video phone bugs.

After seeing the mariners put the video phone bug on the ground, Asuka stepped forward and knocked on the head of one of the phone bugs.

Swish!

In the eyes of the phone bug that was forcibly woken up by the bird, two white lights instantly appeared, and those two white lights hit the white cloth prepared by the bird in advance very accurately.

As the phone bugs continued to try to gather their attention, the image in the white cloth gradually became clearer.

Asuka saluted the tall figure inside the white cloth and spoke.

"Colonel Monka."

"Oh!"

A low voice came from the mouth of the phone bug hanging around the bird's neck at the same time.

"It's a bird."

Then, Asuka reached out and tapped the head of another phone bug, and the white light from the phone bug's eyes shone precisely on the faces of the group of sailors behind the bird.

...

At the same time, the East China Sea, inside the 153 base.

Gollum ~ Gollum ~ Gollum ~

Monka heard the sound of swallowing saliva around him, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his axe blade.

"Hey, is this the Navy Headquarters? That's an exaggeration, right? ”

One of the sailors, pointing to the projection on the white cloth in front of him, swallowed again.

Even if it was so far away, even if it happened to be four o'clock in the morning, he could still clearly see the giant fortress that appeared behind the group of sailors in the image, as well as the special building standing in the center of the fortress, and the four steep peaks next to the special building!

！

The naval flag planted on the mountain peak is flying in the wind, as if defending that special building!

And the bare walls of that particular building, according to his estimate, could be 100 meters high!

The word "Navy" is engraved on the huge wall, giving people a solemn and solemn feeling!

Grunt!

When Monka heard the sound of the sailors around him swallowing saliva, he grinned.

Although he has never been to the Navy Headquarters, it does not prevent him from seeing more, since the bird went to the Navy Headquarters, the number of times he has seen the Navy Headquarters has been too many to count, and it is no longer comparable to these turtles in front of him.

Then, Munka raised his axe, pointed at the group of sailors in the white cloth projection, and spoke.

"These are your predecessors, these are your role models, and these are all from the Lao Tzu base."

As he spoke, Monka pointed at Asuka again and continued.

"This one too!"

Looking at the bewildered expressions of the people around him, Meng Ka took out the newspaper from his arms, shook it at everyone, and said in a deep voice.

"Some time ago, there was a big battle between the Navy and the pirates of the former Roger Pirates at Twin Heads, have you all heard about it??"

"Hmm~Hmm~"

"I've seen that issue of the newspaper~"

...

Before the meeting, these sailors, after showing a solemn look on their faces, Monka faced the group of sailors, stretched out his finger and pointed at the birds in the white cloth, and spoke.

"He, Asuka Kikuchi, a former lieutenant at Base 153, is extremely righteous in his heart, and later after my recommendation, that Asuka guy successfully entered the Navy Headquarters.

And now, he is already a colonel in the headquarters, and his combat power is comparable to the crew of One Piece.

What does all this mean? ”

Seeing that the sailors in front of him were silent, Monka directly slammed his axe to the ground.

Rumble!

Munka pointed to the huge crack he had just cracked out and said in a deep voice.

"This shows that Lao Tzu has good training, and the training method is scientific and reasonable."

"This also shows that Lao Tzu is the man who wants to see the navy prosperous and powerful, I am completely different from other insects in the East China Sea, and I, the justice in the hearts of Lord Mengka, is [will never bury talents. 】”

"You lazy people, you get up at four o'clock every day and chirp crookedly, when Lao Tzu fought against the Evil Dragon Pirates, Lao Tzu got up at three o'clock to train... In the end, the justice in the heart was realized.

Now, I still have twenty quotas for the Navy in my headquarters... Two places in the main training camp..."

After saying that, Meng Ka turned around and left here directly, he had to go back to make up for sleep, he was old, he got up at four o'clock every day, and his body was a little unbearable.

In the morning, I had to see my children, in the afternoon I had to see civilians, and in the evening I had to beat my son.

This day... It's so fulfilling...

But then again, what's the justice of that guy Asuka???

Thinking of this, Monka looked up at the morning star in the sky with a toothache, if he remembered correctly, Asuka's dream seems to be to marry a pirate, right??

What is his righteousness???

"Alas!"

Suddenly remembering something, Munka sighed fiercely, and then saw him walking slowly towards home with his hands behind his back.

...

When a group of sailors saw Monka leave, they began to murmur.

"I'll just say that it's right to join the 153 base, the title of Colonel Monka [Knowing People] is well-known in the East China Sea.

Every navy that shines in the 153 base, or even makes achievements, will always be appreciated by Colonel Monka, and then Colonel Monka will do everything possible to recommend "that navy" to the naval headquarters.

It is said that in the 153 base of the navy, which is also subordinate to the [school] level as Colonel Monka, there is only one major left, and the rest seem to have been recommended by Colonel Monka to the naval headquarters. ”

Speaking of this, the sailor turned his head to look at the departing Monka, with a look of admiration on his face.

The naval bases are all led by such people, so why worry about the navy not being prosperous?

And one thing to say, Colonel Monka really doesn't bury talents, he directly waved his hand at the kind of navy with the qualifications of a major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, and even an admiral... If you go through the back door, you have to send people to the Navy Headquarters...

Although Colonel Monka often talked about the rights of those "talents" who stayed in the base when he dreamed, they actually knew in their hearts that Colonel Monka was afraid that he would delay those talents.

After all... The 153 base is just too small ... Those talents are too overkill to stay here.

And in his hand, he has a pass to the headquarters of the Navy.

...

"Indeed!"

At this moment, another sailor looked at Monka's back and couldn't help but sigh.

"People like Colonel Monka are really righteous people.

The Colonel knew that his abilities were limited, and in order not to delay those talents, he did his best to send them to the Navy Headquarters, and it is said that Colonel Asuka also applied for places with the Navy Headquarters many times.

And I've also heard..."

Speaking of this, the sailor looked at Rogue Town with some embarrassment and spoke.

"When I wanted to join the Navy, I was actually given two choices, one was to go to Colonel Smoker in Rogue Town as a sailor, and the other was to go to Colonel Monka at Base 153 to serve as a sailor.

The town of Rogue guarded by Smoker is a place where these pirates in the East China Sea want to go, and while it is dangerous, it also means that there are more opportunities for meritorious service.

However, I have heard from others that Colonel Smoker has a very bad relationship with the above...

Then, I came to the 153 base, and I heard that as long as you make meritorious service here and climb up, Colonel Monka will definitely recommend you to the naval headquarters.

Isn't that much better than Rogue Town?

In the short time I've been here, I've seen Colonel Monka with my own eyes, and I've already seen 12 people gone.

It is said that the travel expenses to the Navy Headquarters were paid by Lord Monka with his own salary. ”

...

At this moment, a light cough came from the mouth of the phone bug.

"Ahem!"

Asuka looked at the scattered navy on the other side of the image, coughed lightly, and after attracting their attention, Asuka looked at them with a serious face and spoke.

"The morning training starts now, Colonel Monka is absent from the morning training for family reasons, you all know..."

After Asuka finished speaking, the faces of the group of sailors in the East China Sea 153 Base all showed a look of sudden realization, and they had heard people mention it from the first day they joined the 153 branch.

[Lord Monka is good at everything, but the family relationship is not very good. 】

"Okay, pack up, let me spend my youth!"

In this way, Asuka took the group of sailors from the headquarters, as well as the group of sailors who commanded the 153 base from the air, and began the morning training.

...

Night, very quiet.

Footsteps, loud.

Marin Vando This place... If the center of the island is divided, the family home and rest area are at the back of the island, and the administrative and office areas are at the front of the island.

There is a headquarters building between the two sides, and the voices of Asuka and the others cannot be heard in the family courtyard in the rear.

It's not a nuisance.

At this time.

Sengoku sat up from the couch with a curse, he looked at the moon hanging in the sky, and the footsteps coming from the harbor, and a pair of eyelids jumped back and forth for a long time.

The cold wind was pouring in through the half-open window, stinging the face if the blade scraped the bone.

The wind seemed to dissipate some of the anger in Sengoku's heart, and he stood up and walked slowly to the office window, soothing his tense body and looking at the birds in the harbor where they had been training since four o'clock in the morning.

The night before dawn should have been a quiet port, and at this time, there were more than a hundred shadows, and they were doing warm-up training there.

If Sengoku is not mistaken, there seems to be a group of guys in the white cloth next to those shadows who are also doing warm-up training there.

Scald!

Sengoku stood in front of the office window on the top of the building, looking at the young figure below, sweating in the moonlight.

Facing the wind, gritting your teeth.

Hard training.

The sweat of the transpiration gathered into footprints under his feet, and soon disappeared under the blowing of the cold wind.

"It's ten o'clock in the morning, you're still fascinated by the lake, lazy ghost, I've never seen anyone lazier than you."

And the voice of the young figure angrily scolding the sailors was so harsh.

It seems that this is how you spent your youth back then, right?

Thinking of this, Sengoku put his hands to his mouth in the shape of trumpets and shouted at the birds below.

"Asuka Kikuchi, you'll get out of the old man tomorrow!"

...

After daylight, Sengoku supported his head with his hands, and yawned from time to time in his mouth.

After a moment's wait, he looked up at Asuka and spoke.

"In view of the conflict between you and Lieutenant General Duolu yesterday, and now that the two of you are very unfit to meet again, the old man simply arranged a mission for you to go out.

As for the old man's house, you don't have to repair it.

After the old man's house is repaired, you can come back from there, about a week or so. ”

Hearing this, Asuka glanced down at the task in his hand and had a toothache.

Chambord's mission.

The Chambord Islands are not a good place to be.
