Chapter 42: One Piece
The warship sailed away from the Chambord Islands and headed for the unique passage of the Red Earth Continent Navy.
As for Xia Le's acquisition of the five pirates, not many people paid attention to it. After all, it is an old tradition for the top brass of the Navy to accept pirates as their subordinates, as long as they are not too public, they will be fine.
The bounty of the five people was quietly withdrawn on the second day, after Xia Le made a phone call with the Warring States.
When the morning sun was rising, a neat shout came from the deck of the warship. Six people in Navy midship's uniforms were humming and mopping the floor.
As a lieutenant in the Navy, T Penn was staring at the six people working solemnly.
Xia Le stretched his waist, looked at the scene in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he sighed a little in his heart.
His own warships, his soldiers, gradually have them. The road to the Navy is finally off to a good start.
"My name is Rosinandi, and it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Seeing the new colleague, Rosinandi with a mop in his hand, he said with a smile.
Originally, he was the only one to do chores, but now there are five more people to share it, which obviously puts him in a good mood.
"Evans, sniper, 22 years old, wants world peace."
"Yanagi Bingwei, a sword hero, 21 years old, wants to protect justice in his heart with the sword in his hand."
"Mina, Navigator."
"Kira, a chef and a gourmet, my dream is to taste all the world's cuisines."
"Sloe, shipwright! Want to meet the legendary ship spirits. ”
The five of them glanced at each other, and under the leadership of Evans, they all reluctantly introduced themselves.
"From now on, we will be companions!"
Rosinandi grinned.
Hearing this, the five of them softened, and they all nodded, at least the word companion made them feel comfortable.
"My name is T Penn, you can also call me T Bone, and the rank is lieutenant."
At this time, T Penn leaned over, a zombie face looked a little scary, but the tone was gentle and polite.
"Hello sir."
The five of them were stunned for a moment, and then said.
"Major General Xia Le is also the supreme commander of our team."
"Don't be inhibited, the chief is very good and kind."
A smile appeared on the face of the T Penn zombie.
Xia Le heard the sound of several people talking in his ears, and he didn't care about it.
Friendly communication is conducive to him leading the team, not to mention, T Penn basically uses his own vision to describe him, and all words are praise and worship.
"The prefect was once a nobleman..."
"In the end, it was taken by the Draco again..."
"After joining the Navy, he..."
"Fight with the Roger Pirates and stop the world-famous Pirate Pluto King Reilly."
"Afterwards, Roger once said that the chief is a strong opponent that cannot be ignored, and he highly praises him."
“······”
T Penn's words shocked the five Evans, and from time to time peeked at the back of the ship standing at the bow of the ship, they didn't expect that this young admiral would have such a bizarre story, and his experience was similar to theirs.
The warship soon passed through the Red Earth Continent and entered the second half of the Great Passage.
During this time, Xia Le also gradually got to know these five people in the conversations of several other people.
The first is Evans, a sniper who has begun to awaken to the ability to see and hear dangers, as well as to see and shoot at more distant targets.
Then there is Yanagi Guard, who has practiced swordsmanship since he was a child, and has reached the realm of cutting iron, and his physical fitness is very strong.
Sloe, as a shipwright, also has good fighting skills.
Mina, not very strong, but experienced in sailing.
As for Kira, as he says, he is a gourmand who can capture everyone's appetite with great precision and is not good at fighting.
In short, with the addition of these five people, the warship is a bit lively.
"The training that should be there must be is indispensable, and you will lead this group of trainee boys."
"Of course, I will also point out your shortcomings."
Xia Le looked like a chief and shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The seven stood up straight and responded loudly.
In just a few days, the five Evans, who are pirates, already have the momentum of the navy.
And in the subsequent joint training, Evans and the others were also shocked to learn that the tall Rosinandi in front of them was only twelve years old!
"How is that possible? Obviously in your teens, you actually look so tall?! ”
"What did you eat to grow up?"
Yanagi Bei and Mina shouted.
"Talent, it's talent!"
Rosinandi laughed with a triumphant expression.
He is tall, and obviously has the innocence and naivety of a teenager.
At this moment, Xia Le walked over and waved his iron fist.
"Bang bang bang!"
After a few punches, everyone's head was swollen high.
"When you're training, don't shout."
Xia Le shouted.
Evans clutched her head, tears streaming out.
"This guy's fist, why does it hurt so much! Harder than my knife. ”
Yanagi Bingwei grinned even more.
"Chief Xia Le is a disciple of Lieutenant General Karp, and his strength is also inherited from his teacher."
Roxinan inhaled and endured.
The training continued, and several people on this deck could not escape the physical training that they should have as a midshipman navy.
Xia Le's guidance and training methods can be said to be scientific and effective, he not only summarized the effective methods of Karp and Zefa, but also integrated the scientific nature of the Naval Academy.
T Penn also joined in earnestly, and he made no secret of the chief's longing.
After the second half of the warship's arrival, it spent most of its time adrift on the sea, except for the occasional resupply in the fortress.
At the same time, Xia Le also contacted the headquarters, and after learning some information about the pirates, he carried out extermination work.
The strength of everyone grows evenly in battle.
Half a month into the second half, a newspaper was thrown from the claws of the messenger bird and fell in front of everyone.
"Gordo Roger arrives at the end of the Great Passage, becomes the King of the Pirates, and names the final island Ralph Drew!"
When Evans said this, the expressions of everyone on the warship were shocked.
"Roger has become the King of the Pirates!"
Slow was shocked.
Xia Le's eyes narrowed slightly, and he remembered that not long ago in the Mandarin with Ka, his teacher had mentioned it.
The world shook at this moment, and the overwhelming newspapers spread around.
It was also at this time that the phone bug in my arms rang.
"Mr. Karp."
Xia Le connected and said in a deep voice.
"You should have seen the latest newspapers, right?"
Karp's voice was heard, a somewhat heavy and tired tone.
"See!"
Xia Le nodded.
"I chased him for two years, but in the end I still didn't stop him."
"I have to say, this guy is really powerful, obviously dragging a seriously ill body."
Karp laughed, his voice a little helpless.
"Originally, I thought that after he became One Piece, he would do unimaginable things."
"Unexpectedly, Roger disbanded the pirates."
"Now, where is this guy, I can't find it at all!"
When Xia Le heard this, he laughed: "Then you can rest for a while." ”
"Hahahaha, you stinky boy, do you teacher and I want to rest so much?"
Karp scolded with a laugh.
The master and apprentice chatted for a while, most of the time Xia Le was listening, and Karp was recalling the constant battles and pursuits with Roger over the years.
From Valley of the Gods, all the way to not so long ago, Roger became the King of the Pirates.
Eventually, the phone bug hung up.
Charlotte fell silent.
He knew that Karp was telling the story with Roger, but he was also talking about his own life.
I can even hear that in this teacher's words, there is a trace of confusion and regret for the future.
What is he regretting?
