"Yuan Yi, the task we were assigned to was actually to help in the boiler room..."

"The colonel of this branch, is he underestimating us too much?"

In the power room of the 133rd branch of the navy, Cyrus was naked, and after adding a shovel of solid fuel to the furnace, he closed the door of the boiler, sighed lightly, and said to Ji Guoyuanyi beside him.

"How do I know?"

"It's also the first time I've gone to sea as a third-class soldier in the navy, although according to the regulations, third-class soldiers belong to combatants, so I shouldn't have to do this."

"But, on this ship, it may be the job of a third class."

Ji Guoyuanyi was wearing a sailor suit for the navy at this time, with gloves on both hands, and a shovel in one hand, looking at the fire burning in front of him, and replied.

Ji Guoyuanyi originally thought that going to sea for apprenticeship was like on the Karp ship, fighting when he encountered pirates, and he was able to cultivate on his own in normal times. No matter how bad it is, it's like an ordinary third-class soldier, responsible for lookouts, patrols, and participating in battles.

However, unlike Ji Guoyuanyi's imaginary apprenticeship, he and Cyrus were directly sent into the power room to burn the boiler after boarding the ship, like servants.

Unlike the pure wind-powered sailboats on the sea, the power room of the warship has a boiler.

And the fuel used is a black stone, which is a bit like coal, but it is not the same thing as coal, and the weight of this solid fuel is also quite heavy, and the density is much greater than that of coal, perhaps a special fuel in the world of One Piece.

In order to maintain the power of the warship, Yuan Yi and Cyrus had to keep refueling the boiler, that is, Cyrus refueled quickly, so that the two had a little time to rest.

"Job? It shouldn't be, I remember that there were servants in the personnel composition of the warship, and this thing should have been done by the servants, right? ”

"Although the two of us are third-class privates, but in the final analysis, we are also cadets of the naval academy, if we go to sea to burn boilers, then what else do we train?"

"And... If the boiler burning thing is done by a private of the third class, then where does the servant on the warship go? ”

"On Vice Admiral Karp's warship, there is a special officer in charge of this kind of thing."

During his time at the Naval Academy, Cyrus had a good understanding of the operation system of the navy, and when he communicated with the captains and non-commissioned officers of the same period, he also asked what to do on the warship.

Moreover, Cyrus spent some time on Karp's ship when he followed Karp back to the naval headquarters, and he was also a third class private at that time, and his usual work was patrolling, lookout, and sometimes responsible for collecting sails and anchors.

At this time, Cyrus didn't seem to understand the subtext in Yuanyi's words, and said with some doubts.

"Who knows."

"That's right, Cyrus."

"Don't keep asking this question."

"Also, whether it's on this ship or after going to the 133rd branch, don't mention that you are a cadet of the Naval Academy."

Yuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said casually.

When Cyrus heard this, he looked at Jiguo Yuanyi suspiciously, and Yuanyi saw that Cyrus didn't seem to understand or explain, and just as Cyrus was about to continue to say something, the door of the power room was suddenly pushed open.

A young navyman of about 175 cm and wearing a sailor suit walked in, looked at Ji Guoyuan Yi and Cyrus for a while, and asked with a smile: "You two, are you the recruits who have been assigned to our 133rd branch?" ”

Ji Guoyuan and Cyrus glanced at each other and nodded at the visitor.

"Hehehe, it's the elite of the headquarters!"

"My name is Josep Cassel, and I am a sergeant of the 133rd branch of the Navy, and from now on, we will all be our own people."

"By the way, what's your name?"

The young navy briefly introduced himself, and then asked Yuan Yi and Cyrus.

"Hello, Sergeant Josep, my name is Jiguo Yuanyi, I am 17 years old, Private of the Third Class!"

When Yuan Yi heard this, he smiled and introduced himself, but his words of self-reporting his age made Cyrus next to him look stunned, and Cyrus clearly knew that Ji Guoyuan was obviously 12 years old!

Although Yuanichi is 170cm tall, about the same as some ordinary adults, Cyrus knows the real age of Jiguo Yuanyi, and he doesn't know why Yuanyi lied.

However, Cyrus was not stupid enough to expose Jiguo Yuanyi at this time, came back to his senses, and also introduced himself:

"Hello, Sergeant Josep, my name is Cyrus, I am 17 years old, Private of the Third Class."

Josep Cassel nodded, and suddenly quipped at the two:

"Oh! Ji Guoyuanyi, you look so young, you are a baby face. ”

"Cyrus, you're really burly, you don't look like you're 17 years old at all, hahaha."

Yuan Yi only smiled implicitly when he heard this, showing that he was neither close nor distant. And Cyrus scratched his head a little embarrassed, acting like an honest man.

"Following the first fate of the country, Cyrus, after us, we will be friends and companions, and in the days to come, we must cooperate with each other."

Josep Cassel said with a sincere face, and after speaking, he paused, and then seemed to think of something, and asked curiously:

"By the way, Yuan Yi, Cyrus, how did the two of you end up in the navy at the headquarters? Why was it transferred to our Xihai 133 branch? ”

Cyrus's mouth opened slightly, and he was just about to open his mouth to answer, when he heard Ji Guoyuan say with a smile:

"Sergeant Josep, to tell you the truth, the two of us were originally bounty hunters, but we were shipwrecked a month ago and were rescued by a major general in the headquarters."

"In order to repay the kindness of the navy, the navy that the two of us just joined became third-class privates."

"As for why it was assigned to the 133 branch, maybe it was because the 133 branch was short of manpower, hahaha."

Yuan Yi snorted and casually made up a history, although Cyrus on the side was puzzled, but he also nodded on his face and did not interject.

Josep Cassel, his eyes seemed to casually glance at the sword on Ji Guoyuan's waist and the long sword on Cyrus's back, nodded, and then showed a smile and said, "After all, pirate hunters are not as stable as our navy. ”

"Your choice is really wise!"

"Speaking of which, I have other things, and I'll talk about them when I have time."

"Oh, by the way, I'll talk to Captain Haig about your situation, since you used to be a pirate hunter, it's overkill to be tasked with this."

"But you still have to be in charge of this matter for the time being today, wait for my news."

After Josep Cassel finished speaking, he waved his hand towards Jiguoyuan and walked out of the power room. Yuan Yi and Cyrus smiled at each other, and when Josep Cassel left, Yuan Yi withdrew his gaze, opened the door of the boiler, shoveled two pries of fuel, and threw it into the furnace.

Yuan Yi looked at the burning fire, and his face was red from the dye. Cyrus turned his head to look at Jiguo Yuanyi, opened his mouth, and finally did not ask the doubts in his heart.

...

The door to the office of the 133 warship was suddenly opened.

A puff of smoke slipped out of the office and quickly dispersed outside. Josep Cassel walked briskly into the office and closed the door.

This is the office of Colonel Kane, the supreme commander of the 133rd branch of the Navy, and at this time, Kane is sitting on the sofa, his feet resting on the coffee table in front of the sofa, a cigar in his mouth, and his eyes are staring blankly at the ceiling, swallowing clouds.

The appearance of the profligate skeleton is similar to the upright and serious appearance of him when he reported on his work in the Warring States Office.

"How?!"

Out of his eye he saw Josep Cassel walk into the office, Kane's eyes were in focus, and he turned his head sideways and asked Josep.

"Hehe, Colonel, there shouldn't be any problem, it's just two ordinary recruits."

"I used to be a pirate hunter, and I only joined the navy a month ago."

Kane nodded slightly. And Josep's eyes suddenly showed a strong look of excitement, and he said to Kane: "Colonel, I see that the red-haired boy has a very good weapon in his hand, and when he arrives in the West Sea, see if he can..."

Without waiting for Josep to finish speaking, Kane's expression was slightly condensed, and he suddenly sat up, grabbed Josep by the collar, pulled him to him, and asked in a cold voice, "You say.... That kid has a good weapon?! ”

"How nice is that?!"

Josep didn't know why Kane's reaction was so big, and hurriedly said, "It's... The scabbard is beautiful, although I haven't seen a knife, but with a scabbard like that, the knife should not be bad, and it can be worth a lot of money. ”

"Whew!"

After hearing this, Kane pushed Josep away, got up and paced to the window, was silent for a long time, suddenly sneered, and then whispered to himself:

"Pirate hunters.... Hehehehehe, when I'm a fool?! ”

"Since you want to play, let's play with you!"
