"Are the supplies ready?"
Roja boarded the warship and glanced at the officers and lieutenants who were lining up to salute. 『
These naval captains were still immersed in the surprise that Roya, the major general, was so young.
Hearing Roja's question, several people looked at each other with strange looks in their eyes. After pausing for a few breaths, one of them nodded towards Roja.
"It's ready and ready to go."
"out."
Roja gave the immediate order, then turned and walked into the cabin.
Wait for Roja to leave.
The captains on the deck still had stunned expressions.
Roya's deeds spread quickly among the top brass of the Navy and even caused some sensation. However, for these officers, whose highest level was only a lieutenant colonel, the distance was too far and they had no access to Roya's affairs.
"I've never heard of such a young major general. I don't think it's reliable."
"The first branch base in the West Sea is a base close to the entrance of the Great Shipping Route. Is it really okay to let such a young major general serve as the base commander...?!"
Several lieutenant colonels and majors looked at each other for a while, but they were not qualified to question the orders of the Navy Headquarters. In the end, they could only drive the warship out of the Navy Headquarters and head to the West Sea.
…
On the warship.
A cabin on the top floor, this is the room that belongs to Roya. Roya is no longer a recruit, but a rear admiral, the highest commander on this warship.
The rear admiral's subordinate was casually thrown onto the clothes rack by Roja.
"From here to the first branch of the West Sea near the entrance of the Grand Route, it spans about half the world. It is really a long journey. There is no way to practice on this warship. The most you can do is to practice the domineering power of seeing, hearing, and color."
Roya sat there with his legs crossed, leaning on the back of the wooden chair, with his hands folded behind his head.
With a thought, a translucent attribute bar appeared in front of me.
Stage 3: Dexterous Sword Soul +9
Attributes: Attack power +28o, Strength +9o, Agility +9o
Special attribute: Everything in the universe is reduced to ashes! —You can freely add fire damage when attacking with swordsmanship (evolution conditions are not met)
Special attributes: Crescent Moon Celestial! —When attacking with swordsmanship, you can release a half-moon sword slash.
Enhanced energy: 117/21o
“I thought it was pretty fast at first, but now that I’m about to reach the fourth stage, it feels like it’s getting slower and slower...”
Roja looked at the attribute column and smiled, and said to himself: "But it won't take long."
Roja is still looking forward to what abilities he can get in the fourth stage.
after awhile.
Roja put aside the matter of Sword Soul for the time being and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he took out a piece of information and read it.
"Gecko Pirates..."
This information was the information of the pirate group that defeated the major general base commander of the first branch of the West Sea in the West Sea. Roja glanced at it for a few times, shook his head, and casually threw it on the table.
"If you happen to encounter it, just deal with it easily. If there is a reward of 70 million, it will still be 7000 meritorious service."
If you want to replace Akainu as a naval admiral, in addition to your own military rank, you must be a lieutenant general in the headquarters, and you also need 200,000 military merits, so that you can be qualified to challenge.
"If you capture a pirate with a bounty of 10 million, you will get a thousand merit points. My current merit points are zero. In other words, I need to capture two hundred pirates with a bounty of 10 million, which is quite a lot."
"However, if there is a billion-dollar bounty on the pirates' heads... we only need to catch two."
Roja couldn't help but curl his lips when he thought of this.
The pirate with a billion dollar bounty on his head…
In this sea, it seems that there are only senior officials of the New World Yonko, the Three Disasters under the Beasts Pirates, and the Four Generals under the Big Mom Pirates, who can offer bounties of 700 million to 800 million, or even around 1 billion.
Even if the Navy Headquarters wanted to catch pirates of this level, it would not be that easy, because this would be tantamount to a head-on war with the forces of the Four Emperors.
In addition to capturing pirates with bounties on their heads, you can gain military merit. You can also gain military merit by seizing and turning in precious items such as devil fruits.
At this time, Roja flipped through another piece of information.
This information contains items that can be exchanged for combat merit. This information is the basic information in the navy, and any captain-level officer can carry a copy with him.
certainly.
Among those basic ones, the highest merit exchange is only 50,000 points, and Roja's share is quite special. Only general-level officers can retrieve it. All the things recorded in it and the battle merit required for redemption are all All are above 10,000 points.
There were many devil fruits recorded in this information, but Roja looked at them and found that they were not particularly interested, or not very interested.
The only thing that interests Roja is that it requires 100,000 battle merits to redeem... a supreme sharp sword with twelve skills!
There are only twelve supreme sharp knives in the world. Previously, Roja only knew that the black sword in Hawkeye's hand was one, and that the first-generation ghost sword in the hands of Five Old Stars was one. Roja did not know the whereabouts of the other ten.
And now, Roja knows one more thing, and that is the Navy Headquarters.
"One hundred thousand battle merits is really not a small amount. The value of the Supreme Sharp Sword is indeed extremely high, almost as much as some powerful Devil Fruits."
Roja touched his chin and pondered for a while, then put the information away.
When we arrive at the West Sea Base, we will use the Navy's intelligence agency to search for information about the Supreme Knife.
…
After the warships left the Navy Headquarters, they moved forward.
The power plant of the warship is very powerful, and it also has sails and turbine devices. When the wind is downwind, the speed is far beyond that of ordinary sailing ships, and it can sail even against the wind.
soon.
The warship then sailed into the windless zone, and the windless zone was almost the only way to go to the four seas.
During this period of time, the captains on the warship, although they did not agree with the young Major General Roja, they still did not dare to resist Roja's orders on the surface, and only met occasionally in private. A few words.
After the warship sailed into the windless zone, almost all the sailors on the warship were alert and extremely nervous, not daring to be careless at all.
This kind of transportation mission is generally not dangerous. Even if you encounter pirates on the way, the pirates will most likely choose to escape and will not take the initiative to attack the navy's warships.
The only danger is that when passing through the windless zone, if you are unlucky, you may be attacked by the sea kings that happen to emerge from the sea.
Wu Feng brought Luo Ya twice in total, and now this is the third time.
The first time, there were basically no Neptunes along the way. The second time, they met the Neptunes who were fighting from both sides. Then they were knocked over by Zefa's fists.
Now for the third time.
I don't know if it was bad luck or something else, but when the warship was halfway through the windless zone, it happened to encounter a medium-sized sea king that emerged from the water.
Although it is only a medium-sized Sea King, its size is comparable to that of a warship.
The bottom of the warship is inlaid with sea tower stones, but that does not mean that the entire warship is made of sea tower stones. Warships like the Sea King cannot sail on the sea surface under the sea, but when they reach the sea, the existence of the warships can be discovered.
"Hell!!"
Seeing this medium-sized sea king that was so close and almost overturned the warship, a naval lieutenant commander on the deck turned green and his eyes widened.
Did this guy go to sea without reading the almanac? !
It is normal to encounter a sea king in a windless zone. After a sea king appears from a long distance away, just turn around and avoid it. If the distance is far away, the sea king generally cannot see the warship, and even if it does, it is usually too lazy to come over and actively pursue it. .
But this time, a Neptune-like creature emerged directly from the sea. There was no way to avoid it in advance, and it was still so close. Unless this Neptune-like creature was blind, how could it possibly ignore the one so close at hand? , a warship similar in size to it? !
