Chapter 452: Isn’t this bullying an honest person?
"Are you really gone?"
"real."
"Very good!"
The chefs were celebrating, but God knew how they had gotten through the past few days. If the head chef hadn't had the idea to recruit some temporary chefs, they might not even be able to stand up now.
Of those smart people who wanted to ask for leave a few days ago, none of them succeeded, except for the one who really wanted to go home to see his parents.
Major General Kadaru didn't even frown when he was approving the canteen bill. After all, it was the bill of the recruit camp that was charged, and it had nothing to do with his Chambord Naval Base, so there was no need to feel bad about it.
T. Peng En, who was on patrol, checked the time and said, "They should have left by now. I really owe them a lot of credit to them during this period."
The adjutant nodded and said, "Yes, but the Amber Tour Group has left, and the new recruits have also left. We will be busy from now on."
"What nonsense! This is our responsibility!" T. Peng En shouted to the patrol team behind him, "Listen up! Protecting civilians is the Navy's responsibility. In the name of justice, we will never allow criminals to harm civilians!"
The soldiers said in unison: "Yes! Lieutenant Colonel T. Penn!"
"Then continue patrolling..." T. Penn noticed the red marks on a soldier's hand. "Before that, what happened to your hand?"
"Oh, this?" The soldier glanced at the back of his hand. "I accidentally scratched it this morning while helping the residents move things."
"This won't do! My subordinates are injured, and it hurts my heart..." T. Penn tore a piece of cloth from his cloak and said, "Please wrap it with this first!"
Residents who saw this scene exclaimed: "That Lieutenant Colonel T. Pengen looks very reliable."
"Yes, and he's so gentle to his subordinates."
"It makes me feel at ease every day seeing him on patrol."
"Lieutenant Colonel T. Peng!" The soldier was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. "You actually gave such an important cloak to..."
"My beloved men are more important than a cloak." T. Pengen patted the soldier's shoulder. "Justice, even if it's not on my cloak, is in my heart. That's all."
"Lieutenant Colonel T. Penn!"
…
On the other hand, the trainees in the training camp defeated the second pirate group in a very ordinary way. However, compared with the last victory, the trainees were obviously not in high spirits - there was nothing they could do about it. After seeing high-end operations, they would always feel that their own fighting style was inferior.
Zefa had a headache. It seemed that he needed to provide psychological counseling to the trainees. Now he began to doubt whether it was the right decision to invite the Amber Travel Group to join the training.
But when Sakaski and Borsalino were called monsters in the recruit camp, there was no problem with the mentality of the other students.
It turns out that the new generation of navy is getting worse and worse.
This patrol mission lasted about half a day. After the battle, they only encountered one merchant ship. The navy approached it and asked a few simple questions before letting it pass.
It was almost noon when Zefa ordered to return and reminded Zhang Daye and the others to follow closely.
The headquarters of the navy is located in Marinford in the first half of the Grand Line, and the G1 branch fortress in the New World is located on both sides of the Red Earth Continent, one in the west and one in the east, guarding the place where the Celestial Dragons live on the Red Earth Continent - Marijoa, known as the holy land.
If you are traveling to the Naval Headquarters from Judicial Island and the Deep Sea Prison, you can take the special "Triangle Current" and pass through the huge Gate of Justice to shorten the sailing time.
However, Zefa and Zhang Daye are not far from Marinford, so there is no need for that.
"Marinford is a very prosperous town. Most of the people living here are the families of our navy. It has all the necessary shops and facilities. Because it is close to our headquarters, Marinford is probably the safest town in the world."
Ain introduced the naval headquarters and the surrounding environment to Zhang Daye and the others. His mission on the Amber was to lead the way, and he was worried that Zhang Daye and the others would fall behind.
But Ain thought of Altria's steering skills and felt that Teacher Zefa was worrying too much. There was probably no one who could get rid of them, unless the other party could fly or dive.
Zhang Da also wanted to laugh when he heard her say it was the safest town. This kid probably hadn't heard about the Golden Lion attack on the Navy Headquarters thirteen years ago.
I guess you've never seen Kaido running all the way to the Marine Headquarters to get beaten up and then run away.
"We're here." Ain pointed to a small island ahead and said, "That's Marinford. The tallest building on the island is the headquarters ."
Zhang Da also looked around and saw a tall gray building standing on the small island in front. The lower part looked like a fortress surrounded by city walls, and the upper part looked like a Japanese attic. There was a watchtower at each corner. The two big words "Navy" were written on the front wall, and a seagull logo was painted in the middle.
"So awesome!" Vivi looked at the Marine Headquarters in front of her and felt that it seemed even bigger than their castle.
"It's really quite impressive." Jackie Chan stared at it for a while and said, "It just looks a little familiar, and the architectural style is a little strange."
It's normal to look familiar, because the prototype of the Naval Headquarters is Himeji Castle, known as the No. 1 castle in Japan. It's normal to look strange, because there are definitely some differences from the prototype, and the architectural style may not match the surrounding houses.
The Amber followed Zephyr's warship to the Crescent Bay in front of the Marine Headquarters and stopped at the entrance. This was the famous attraction in the One Piece world, the site of the Battle of Marineford. However, Zhang Da was not sure if such a war would happen again in the future after his involvement.
The entry and exit management of the Navy Headquarters is quite strict. Even if Zephyr drives a warship, his identity must be verified, not to mention that he is following behind with the Amber and two pirate ships.
In order to save time, Zefa directly called Zhan Guo, and the guards at the entrance of the bay quickly let him pass.
Under Aiyin's guidance, Zhang Da and his companions followed the warship to a dock inside the bay. The two pirate ships were driven to the designated location by the training camp trainees. Zhang Da did not mention the exchange of money for this ship. He thought that although Zefa had agreed to provide food and lodging, he had to show his appreciation and simply use the money as food expenses.
The Amber Tour Group was currently observing dozens of warships, large and small, anchored within the bay. While the Navy Headquarters certainly had more than that, most were likely out on missions.
"Assemble!" The warship stopped steadily, and Zefa gave an order, and the trainees got off the ship and assembled.
Zhang Daye and the others also stood in the first row skillfully.
"Escort the pirates to the temporary prison. Free time at noon. Gather at the third training ground at 2 pm!"
"Yes!" the students answered loudly and then took action immediately.
Zhang Daye and the others were at a loss when Zefa called them over, "Zhan Guo said a long time ago that if you guys come, he must make time to meet you... I think he's free now, why don't we go over there directly?"
When he was on the phone just now, Zephyr heard the crunching sound and heard Sengoku scolding Garp to be quiet while eating.
Judging from Sengoku's anger level, Zephyr should have plenty of time now, otherwise he would have knocked Garp out with one punch.
"Okay." Zhang Da also agreed. If he wanted to make a living in the navy's territory, he had to go to the dock and meet the leader.
Zhang Da also warned the problem child: "Remember to be polite when you meet Marshal Sengoku. He is a legendary figure like Mr. Zephyr, who has fought against a series of great pirates such as Pirate King Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Big Mom, etc."
Perona was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Da's targeting of her, and muttered softly, "He talks so loudly, but he hasn't caught any of those people yet."
Zefa's mouth twitched. This little girl was really good at talking. She even scolded him. He thought about it and decided to pretend that he didn't hear it.
Did this girl use Rui Mengmeng's mouth? In front of Zefa, Zhang Da also taught him a lesson: "Don't talk nonsense. There are many great pirates of the same era, but they were all thrown into prison, so today their names have gradually been forgotten."
Zefa felt a little relieved, thinking that there were still some people who understood the situation. He didn't know that Zhang Da was just saying that, and if he really asked him to give an example, he would definitely not be able to come up with one.
"Isn't this too high?" Zhang Da calculated with his fingers. They had been climbing for thirteen minutes and still hadn't reached the top. "Are you really ?"
"There's nothing we can do about it." Zefa was a little embarrassed. Whether it was to demonstrate authority or to limit the floor area, they had to build the headquarters so high for various reasons at the time.
Anyway, if there's an emergency upstairs or downstairs, you can use Den Den Mushi to communicate. Even if you can't reach them, there's still Moon Step. As a communications corpsman at the Marine Headquarters, you can't get promoted without learning Moon Step.
"Okay, this is it."
For Perona and Tom, who were tired of climbing stairs, Zefa's words were like heavenly music, although Tom had not taken many steps by himself.
Unlike Zephyr and Garp, he knocked politely on the door before entering Sengoku's office. Only when he heard "Come in" from inside did he take Zhang Daye and the others in.
More than a dozen people rushed in, and the originally spacious office suddenly seemed a bit crowded.
"Hahahaha..." Before anyone else could say anything, Garp's hearty laughter rang out, "You're back, Zephyr. Do you want some senbei? I just found some from Sengoku."
"That's not necessary." Zefa declined his kindness, saying that he didn't want to go along with him.
Zhang Da didn't pay much attention to Karp, but looked at the burly man behind the desk. He wore a pair of round-framed glasses, his long beard was braided into a pigtail on his chin, and there was a seagull decoration on the hat on his head.
"Quack~" Kalu couldn't help but raise a wing to indicate that his hat was the same as mine.
"Hahaha, Sengoku! Your hat is exactly the same as that duck, haha!" Garp slapped the armrest of the sofa, laughing so hard that tears were almost coming out. It was not easy to find an opportunity to make fun of Sengoku.
Zhan Guo scolded with a stern face: "Garp, there are guests here today, you better pay attention!"
He would not respond to Garp's words. If he was dragged into Garp's logic, he would lose.
"It's okay, it's okay. Tatsuya-kun and the others are not strangers." Garp continued with a playful smile. "I heard you guys made quite a stir. Are you finally planning to join the navy now?"
Although he was talking to Zhang Daye, Karp's eyes were drifting towards Wendy.
"No, I don't have any plans for the time being." Zhang Da also noticed Karp's eyes and decided to stab him. "Instead of inviting us here, why not deal with your grandson first?"
Garp's expression froze. He grabbed a handful of senbei and threw them into his mouth, chewing them fiercely. "Just wait and see, my grandson will definitely become the strongest marine! Hey, Sengoku, another pack!"
"Thank you for the hard work on the mission." Sengoku didn't want to pay attention to Garp and simply greeted Zephyr.
Zefa nodded casually. There was no need for too much formality between old comrades. "Would you like me to introduce you?"
"No need." He had almost torn apart the information about the Amber Travel Group. After all, they were the culprit that caused him to work overtime many times.
Zhan Guo looked at the people in the Amber Tour Group, matching them one by one with the photos in the information, and finally looked at Zhang Daye: "Excuse me, I have always wanted to meet you, and today I finally got my wish."
"We are the ones who are being rude. We are very sorry for causing you so much trouble." Zhang Da also said politely, "I have always hoped to meet the legendary wise general, the Buddha of the Warring States Period, but I have never had the opportunity. I grew up listening to stories about your battles."
"I wouldn't say I'm causing any trouble. On the contrary, I should thank you for doing a lot of things that the navy couldn't do or was inconvenient to do." Zhan Guo expressed his gratitude as usual, and then, as if remembering something, asked, "You said you grew up listening to my deeds. What are they?"
"Uh..." Zhang Da was also stuck. He felt that this scene seemed a little familiar. In order to appear a little sincere, he tentatively asked, "You arrested the Pirate King Roger?"
"That's all thanks to Garp." Zhan Guo had a blank expression on his face. Although Roger surrendered himself, he announced to the outside world that it was Garp who caught him. That was all he could say.
"So, you participated in the battle that defeated the Rocks Pirates?"
Zhan Guo showed an expression as if he was looking at a fake fan: "That's also thanks to Garp."
Zhang Da was too embarrassed to mention the fact that Sengoku and Garp had joined forces to defeat Golden Lion. After all, most of the Navy Headquarters was destroyed in that battle, which was quite embarrassing for them.
To avoid further embarrassment, Zhang Da also apologized decisively: "I'm sorry, I was so excited to see the real person that I can't remember the specific events right now."
"Hahaha." Zhan Guo laughed instead, "Your personality is exactly the same as what Ahe said."
It turned out that Vice Admiral He had betrayed me! Zhang Da finally remembered that when he first met Vice Admiral He in the tavern, he had said the same polite words, but the old lady had exposed him on the spot. She actually reported even such a small matter. How boring is the navy!
Garp smiled happily. This kid actually dared to treat Zhan Guo in such a perfunctory way. He really did a great job.
Zefa's expression was a little unnatural. Did this guy treat me like this when we were downstairs?
Am I the only honest person among my old comrades?
