Chapter 1: Karen of Fishfin Island

Next Chapter

East China Sea, Fish Fin Island.

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old Cullen sat leisurely on the beach with a dog's tail in his mouth, fishing rod in hand, but Aaron's mind was completely on fishing.

Karen looked intently at the newspaper in his hand, which was lined with large letters. "The Navy Headquarters will launch the first round of recruitment offices this summer, and those who are interested in joining the army are invited to go to the recruitment offices on the islands to sign up."

Under the big letters, there is a vice admiral wearing a dog's hat, dressed in a vice admiral's hat. The feeling of justice is written all over the face.

Underneath is a man with a white beard like a crescent.

"The Navy issued a red ban, hesitating that pirates in the New World are rampant in the next three months, the world government will issue a sea ban, residents please prepare emergency food within three days."

Karen grew up in an orphanage on Fishfin Island, and the orphanage's aunt was always very kind to everyone, so that Karen who had lost her parents could find a trace of maternal love here.

Karen's mother died in childbirth when she reborn Karen, and his father died during the last pirate attack on Fishfin Island, and his father gave his life for his faith like a true soldier. Karen was only half a year old that year, and the naïve and ignorant Karen didn't know what it meant to die.

From an early age, Karen volunteered to be a good sailor like his father, defending the island and besieging the village.

"Aaron, Aaron"

A small chubby mound in the distance called to Cullen in the sea breeze, and the voice went from far to near. When Karen put away the fishing rod, Karen had some doubts in his heart, Tony has always liked fishing, and he has invited Tony to come countless times, but he has never agreed.

Toni ran to Cullen's side out of breath, gasping for air.

"Ah, Aaron. Hai, the navy has come to the village to recruit troops again, won't you go over and take a look? “

Cullen looked helpless, the age limit for naval recruitment is always sixteen years old, not because there is an age limit, he should have died and would have been called to be a glorious sailor. Cullen thought wistfully.

Karen helplessly helped Tony and gave Tony a breath with his hand and back.

"Tony, I'm not old enough"

Cullen was laughing beside him.

When Toni came to his senses and slapped his hand on Karen's shoulder, he realized something. Karen pursed her lips and looked at Tony expectantly, hoping to say something out of his mouth.

"Karen, the age of conscription in the Navy has been relaxed. The Four Emperors of the New World and the Navy have opened. ”

The four largest pirates in the world of the "Four Emperors", Karen looked at Tony in a complicated manner and asked, "Tony, tell me how the navy is doing?" Cullen looked a little anxious at this point, and pressed his hands on Tony's shoulders.

Tony looked at Cullen and shook his head in disappointment and said: It's not good, the navy has already killed and injured three vice admirals, and the three major generals were also severely injured by Whitebeard and trapped by the redhead in the "Punk Hazard" world government If the government does not send more manpower, the navy is afraid that it will be dangerous.

Tony's face is also full of sadness, if the navy loses the battle, Fishfin Island will probably be affected.

"Karen, you go to the conscription office, I heard that the navy will stop recruiting before five o'clock, and now the age has been relaxed to fourteen years old."

And Karen is exactly fifteen this year, and he thought that he would not be able to join the army until next year, but he didn't expect Tony to bring him such good news today.

Cullen excitedly took Tony's hand and ran towards the east side of the village.

Every naval conscription was carried out at the village chief's house. Before Tony could get over, Karen trotted all the way to the village chief's house.

The village chief's house was now full of people, but they were all over eighteen years old. In the distance, the village chief saw an excited Karen pulling Tony over.

Karen looked excited and wanted to squeeze into the crowd, but was suddenly pulled away by the village chief, glared at Karen fiercely, and said: Nonsense, did you kid hear any rumors and came here? You can't be a sailor before you're sixteen.

When the village chief came up, he poured a basin of cold water on Karen first, he very much disagreed with the navy's plan, what can a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child do even if he goes to the battlefield? Sent to death? That's the Four Emperors.

The village chief glared at Tony again, who was hiding behind Karen, and raised his hand to teach the disobedient boy a lesson. But after a long time, he didn't see his palm waving, Tony squatted on the ground and held his head with both hands, and didn't dare to look at the village chief, and only after seeing that there was no movement for a long time did he have the courage to open his eyes.

The village chief was stopped by a middle-aged officer in his thirties who was holding his wrist stiffly. The village chief looked at the officer in bewilderment and asked him to give an explanation.

Seeing that the village chief stopped thinking about doing something, the officer said domineeringly: This year, the navy has serious manpower consumption, and these two boys seem to meet the conditions for conscription, and I have the right to force conscription in the "Spinning Wheel Village".

With that, the officer is about to take Cullen and Tony to register.

The village chief saw that he was anxious in his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and greeted him: "Sir, these two children are only thirteen years old, and they are not yet fourteen.

"Oh--- really?"

The middle-aged officer looked at the village chief with great interest in his long voice, and the village chief also knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to do it. Gritted his teeth, he took out two thousand Baileys and secretly stuffed them into the officer's hand and whispered: These two children are still young, sir, you can make it convenient.

Cullen and Tony were frightened by the officers, and they hid aside and did not dare to say anything, quietly watching the village chief.

The officer took the village chief's two thousand Bailey and looked at the village chief with a smile and said, "What if I don't let people go?"

The atmosphere froze suddenly, and the village chief's hand out the money froze in the air, not knowing where to put it. The officer in front of him did not eat hard and soft. The village chief stubbornly said: Then ask the chief to return the money to me, otherwise the old woman in the family will complain about me again.

Hearing this, the officer's face suddenly became ugly.

The officer took advantage of the situation to grab Karen and Tony one by one and said to the village chief with a black face: If it were me, what if I wanted money and people, and I would like it too?

Without waiting for the village chief to speak, the officer kicked the village chief to the ground with an overbearing kick, and led the accepted sailors to the warship in the harbor.

Cullen was dumbfounded, he never thought that the sea soldiers would be like this. Seeing the village chief standing up tremblingly, Karen couldn't help but shout: Grandpa the village chief.

The village chief shuddered when he heard this, and he didn't dare to look back at Karen and Tony who were taken away.

The middle-aged officer was upset when he heard this, and grabbed Karen and Tony's heads and slammed them down. Only then did the two of them become honest.

The group boarded the warship and sailed towards the next island.

The mission period is only three months, and he has to rush to the next island as soon as possible to recruit the officer, thinking expressionlessly.

"A recruit World Government will distribute an introduction fee of 20,000 Baileys, and the World Government is unprecedentedly generous."
