Kicked Out of the Navy?
At the same time, a look of anxiety appeared on his face, and he felt even more lost and frustrated.
From the moment he heard those words, a seed was planted in his heart, and he longed for the equality the other person spoke of, the idea that no one in the world should be superior to another.
And after waiting all night, I finally met the other person today and mustered up the courage to say those words.
But, I was actually rejected?
Feelings of confusion, frustration, and loss came one after another, dealing Smoker a heavy blow.
Just then, Xia Le, who was standing on the boat, suddenly grinned and spoke out.
"Smoker."
I've decided to give you a chance.
"An opportunity to pursue the Justice in your heart."
As soon as he finished speaking, Smoker looked up abruptly, his face filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Get on board, kid!"
Crocodile laughed and shouted downwards.
"We don't have much time to waste here."
Chapter 88 Kicked Out of the Navy?
Smoker boarded the Warship, filled with excitement and anticipation.
But then, he became uneasy and nervous.
Because he soon discovered that the other sailors on the ship all looked like menacing figures; apart from the Red Nose guy with his crooked uniform, everyone else looked like fierce demons.
Especially that zombie-faced guy, you could tell from his appearance he wasn't a good person.
"From this day forward, Smoker, you are now an Apprentice Marine on this Vice Admiral's ship!"
"Mina, take him to change his clothes."
Xia Le noticed Smoker's nervousness and smiled slightly.
Judging from his appearance, he should be a little younger Rosinante, about eleven or twelve years old.
"Little white-haired brother, come with me!"
Mina walked over, ruffled Smoker's hair, and led the way with a giggle.
Smoker followed dejectedly, and as he passed Buggy, he couldn't help but glance at the man's nose.
The Warship left the Harbor of Loguetown and soon sailed into the open sea.
Smoker was clearly excited about his first time at sea, leaning on the deck and watching the various fish leaping out of the water, exclaiming in amazement.
"You ignorant brat."
Seeing this, Buggy scoffed, feeling stifled.
"Red Nose, what did you say?"
Smoker heard this and turned to ask.
"I told you you're ignorant."
Buggy scoffed.
His mood was extremely unpleasant. There were clearly two of them, and that guy was just staring at him with electricity. Fine, he was being electrocuted, but after just one night, he had inexplicably become a naval officer.
Damn navy!
Damn Xia Le!!
"My dream of the One Piece!"
"And that wretched Red-Haired Shanks!"
Thinking about this made Buggy even angrier.
"Red Nose, are you also Apprentice Marine? Did you join because you admire Superior Officer Xia Le?"
Smoker, noticing the other person's attire, ignored his earlier sarcastic remarks and asked curiously.
"Who would idolize that guy!"
"And also, don't call me Red Nose anymore!"
"I hate it when people talk through my nose!"
Buggy said angrily.
"Really? Red Nose."
Smoker smiled faintly.
"Ugh, you wretched brat!"
Buggy, having reached his limit, lunged at the other man.
Smoker didn't hold back either, immediately punching and kicking. He couldn't accept that this Red Nose didn't admire Vice Admiral Xia Le's statement.
Such a lofty ideal is enough to awe every person in the world.
He was a well-known leader of the kids in Loguetown, and fighting was commonplace for him. However, he was mostly protecting the kids in his neighborhood and was on the side of Justice.
Immediately, the two Apprentice Marine who had just Xia Le's command started fighting each other.
Xia Le, standing at the bow of the boat, saw the whole scene clearly without turning around, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Look how well these two Rookie love each other."
"I didn't expect things to turn into a full-blown fight so quickly."
Crocodile laughed upon Wen Yan: "You should think about how to deal with the consequences of what you said yesterday when you get back to headquarters."
"It's nothing more than losing the chance to become Admiral."
Xia Le smiled faintly.
"That's a pity, the Admiral wields considerable power."
Crocodile said regretfully.
In his view, given his Superior Officer's prestige and strength, he would probably be promoted to Admiral soon. At that time, he could truly say he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
He could even bide his time for a while, and after ten or twenty years, the Fleet Admiral would be his.
At that time, no matter what the other side wants to do, with the entire navy behind them, it will be extremely easy for them to overturn the world and disrupt everything with just a thought.
It's important to understand that the navy, as the most powerful force in the world, extends its influence to almost every sea area and every Nation in the world. Its prestige and sheer numbers are unimaginable.
The World Government's ability to rule the entire world, including the Celestial Dragons' ability to reap the benefits, is largely due to the Navy.
Sometimes, giving up some things can lead to gaining more.
Xia Le said with a smile.
Then, he turned around, looked at the two boys fighting, and laughed again.
Take Smoker, for example, right in front of us.
Who would have thought that the very next day after he uttered those words, a future Marine Vice Admiral would join his ranks?
Furthermore, just by looking at the eyes of those sailors, one can tell what enormous waves have been stirred in the hearts of officers at the very bottom of the navy.
After all, who would willingly let someone ride on their head?
The two men on the boat were fighting fiercely. Although they lacked any real strategy, it was a genuine brawl, and soon both of them had bruises and swelling on their faces.
Buggy is actually stronger. He served as an apprentice Pirate in Roger Pirates for two years and is older, already fifteen years old. However, he was electrocuted yesterday, and his old injury has not yet healed.
As a result, the two fought to a standstill, and in the end, the two lay exhausted on the deck.
"Rosinante."
After the two finished fighting, Xia Le suddenly shouted.
"Exist!"
Rosinante immediately ran over and responded with a grin.
Everyone on the boat watched the two fight, and no one stopped them; they all found the children's squabble Interesting.
These two guys are yours!
"Seeing how energetic they are, let's intensify their training!"
"As for the training volume, it should be about the same as what you did back then."
Xia Le casually gave the instructions.
"Clear!"
Rosinante chuckled and turned to leave.
Before long, the two newly joined Apprentice Marine began to scream in agony as their ordeal began.
That evening, the Warship crossed the Calm Belt and, several hours later, arrived at its home port of Marineford.
It was already late at night.
Smoker and Buggy, the two little guys with bruises and swelling on their faces, had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Xia Le gave the order, and the two were carried on the backs of Rosinante and T Bone.
The group returned to the villa area and then dispersed to rest.
The moon is bright and the stars are few; Marineford.
An invisible Domain quickly swept across and enveloped the entire Marine Headquarters.
In an instant, all the scenes of this military Fortress base flashed through Xia Le's mind.
"Kuzan and the other two have returned."
"The Vice Admiral have all gone to rest."
"Teacher Garp."
"Um?"
His gaze suddenly turned toward the Headquarters Building.
A sound rang out, and several figures quickly became clear from their blurry state.
The images that spontaneously appear in my mind are like watching VR Movie.
"Is striving to become stronger so that people can become superior in the world?"
"Equal Justice."
At his desk, Kong's expression turned slightly serious, followed by a soft sigh.
Xia Le's idealism is worthy of respect.
"These words also align with the Justice that our navy upholds."
"Even if word gets out, it could offset the commotion Roger caused before his death, leading to a short-term surge in the number of people joining the military around the world."
"But."
At this point, Kong didn't continue.
After a moment, he sighed again, his expression one of regret and sorrow.
"So, what are your plans for his future work, Fleet Admiral?"
"Sengoku Period," he said in a deep voice.
"I originally planned to appoint Roger as the third Headquarters Admiral, after you and Zephyr, after Roger's execution."
"Whether it's ability or reputation, Xia Le already has enough."
He paused, then sighed again.
"But these words he uttered to the world will destroy everything he has."
