Directly in front of the Navy Headquarters, under the huge harbor, large warships are displayed here, and groups of navy recruits are boarding the warships.
There were a total of ten large warships, which were fully loaded with all the recruits of the ordinary battalion. In addition to the recruits, there were also five vice admirals on board the warships.
Although it is just an ordinary battalion, they are all new recruits of the Navy Headquarters. Future navy elites, how can it be a piece of cake to go to sea for actual combat assessment? At least absolute safety must be guaranteed on the road.
soon.
One warship after another left the harbor and sailed to the sea.
However, the strange thing is that nine warships left first, and the last remaining one has been docked on the shore without any sign.
The recruits on this warship were quite quiet at first, but as time passed, they gradually began to become restless. Normally, the order would not be so bad, but in the past few days, they had already been worried about this recruit in their hearts. I became restless due to the assessment.
Someone frowned and muttered softly.
"Why haven't you come out yet?"
"The other teams should have already started their assessments."
The faces of many recruits gradually showed dissatisfaction. Although there was no chaos, they began to talk about it.
And at this time.
On the shore, a man came from a distance, looking like he was late. After walking over, he boarded the warship directly.
The person who boarded the warship was none other than Roja.
"Sorry, I'm late."
After Luo Ya said lightly, he went directly to a corner and sat down, not bothering to explain the reason for being late. He had never been very gregarious, and he had nothing in common with these unfamiliar recruits.
Although Luo Ya has changed a lot this month, most people still recognized Luo Ya instantly. After all, Luo Ya had always attracted much attention in the recruit camp for the previous month.
The discussions among the recruits on the warship stopped abruptly with the arrival of Roja. Looking at this scene, they all looked at each other in astonishment.
Is it because the warship is waiting for Roja who is late? !
After a short period of silence, a noisy and dissatisfied voice suddenly burst out.
"What?!"
"Waiting here for a long time just to wait for him? Didn't you hear that he has already quit the recruit camp?!"
"Even if he is Lieutenant General Garp's nephew, this is too much!"
Most of the new recruits showed dissatisfaction and looked at Roja with great dissatisfaction.
Originally, they were in a state of inner agitation and nervousness because of the upcoming actual combat assessment, so when they were slightly attracted, strong dissatisfaction immediately burst out.
There were only a few people who could stay calm. For example, Red Flag x Drake, who was known as the strongest in the general camp, was also on the boat, but his eyes towards Roja flashed a little strangely.
"This guy... has changed so much."
Derek had not paid special attention to Roja before, but when he saw Roja again, he felt a great change, as if Roja's whole person had undergone some kind of transformation.
but.
Although he felt that Roya seemed to have become much stronger, Drake didn't particularly care.
He was originally the worst recruit in the new camp. Even if he went through some kind of transformation this month, how much stronger could he become? !
After all, his goal is to be first in this actual combat assessment, and not first in the fifth team, but first in the entire battalion.
After examining Roja, Derek immediately withdrew his gaze and ignored him.
Just as the noisy voices of the new recruits became louder and louder, a rear admiral on the warship shouted directly at the new recruits.
"Quiet, everyone!"
With the Rear Admiral's scolding, the warship finally became quiet instantly. Most people closed their mouths, but there was still a bit of dissatisfaction on their faces and they looked at Roja.
But in the next moment, the dissatisfaction on everyone's faces disappeared instantly.
Because, all the officers on the warship, including the rear admiral, suddenly saluted in the distance, and over there, two figures in navy justice uniforms were walking side by side, watching in countless awe and admiration. Get down and come slowly.
One of them is Garp.
The other person had purple short hair. As he walked step by step, a majestic aura emerged spontaneously. Looking at him from a distance, he felt an inexplicable respect in his heart.
He is the chief instructor of the new recruit camp of the Navy Headquarters and...
Former Navy Admiral, Zefa!
"No wonder we stopped here. It turned out that we were waiting for General Zefa and Lieutenant General Garp. How could I wait so long for a guy who is last?"
When the recruits saw Zefa and Garp, the dissatisfaction on their faces disappeared, and they understood instantly. Looking at Zefa and Garp walking over, they all showed respect.
At this time, no one paid attention to Roja anymore.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Garp and Zefa boarded the warship.
Garp, who boarded the warship, glanced at the new recruits without stopping at all, and finally fell on Roja. He paused for a moment, grinned slightly, and then walked directly into the upper level with Zefa. cabin.
After Zefa and Garp left, the rear admiral shouted seriously at the recruits.
"Lieutenant General Garp and Chief Instructor Zefa will watch this actual combat assessment in person, and please do well!"
"yes!"
The recruits responded in unison.
Seeing Zefa and Garp boarding the ship, the expressions of these recruits seemed a little excited, because it seemed that Zefa and Garp were going to watch this actual combat assessment in person.
Only Roja was sitting in a corner, without any excitement on his face. He didn't even bother to pay attention to these 'cannon fodder' who might not survive two episodes. He just glanced at the recruits on the warship.
A glance down.
However, Drake among the recruits made Roja look at him a little. In fact, Roja had paid attention to Drake as early as when he first entered the recruit camp.
It's not because he is the strongest in the fifth team, or maybe even the strongest in the general camp, but because this Red Flag x Drake is one of the eleven rising pirate stars in the original book who lived in the same era as Luffy. But now he is just a new recruit.
In the original book, after Drake became a rear admiral, he betrayed the navy and became a pirate for unknown reasons.
"This guy deserves two more episodes."
Roja curled his lips, then withdrew his gaze and ignored it.
…
After the warship left the Navy Headquarters, it moved forward quickly and soon entered the windless zone on both sides of the Grand Route.
Various giant sea kings live here. From time to time, you can see a sea king with eyes bigger than a warship, suddenly appearing from a distance, and then falling back into the sea.
This large warship has turbine power and can easily sail in windless zones. In addition, there are Garp and Zefa on the warship, so even in windless zones it is still smooth.
The journey was uneventful and we soon arrived at an archipelago in the windless zone.
This is an archipelago composed of countless small islands. All kinds of plants on the island are lush and abundant. From time to time, terrifying roars can be heard. I don’t know what kind of monster is coming from it.
It's heart-stopping.
The previous nine warships had all docked at different places, and the warship that Roya was riding on quickly docked at the edge of a small island in this archipelago.
"This is the venue for your actual combat assessment!"
After the warship docked, Garp and Zefa did not show up again. This was a rear admiral on the warship, speaking to all the recruits with a solemn face.
