What is the Navy
The Navy is a direct subordinate organization of the World Government, and performs law and order maintenance work in the world's oceans in the name of "absolute justice."
Its headquarters is located on the island of Marinford in the Grand Line and is considered a symbol of peace in the "Great Pirate Age".
at this time.
Grand Line, Naval Headquarters.
Several huge white flags were fluttering in the wind, with seagull patterns symbolizing peace printed on them and a wrench lying across the middle.
At the crescent-shaped port below.
Large warships are docked here. These warships usually patrol the various waters of the Grand Line and capture pirates when they encounter them.
This happens day after day, over and over again.
There is no special reason for this, it is just because it is the duty of the Navy Headquarters to drive out evil in the name of "absolute justice".
And among these many warships.
A warship coming from Rogge Town in the East China Sea was quietly parked on the edge.
After reuniting with Major Kahn, Coles showed a rare smile on his face.
He didn't have the chance to see the major off when the recruit period ended, so today they finally met again.
This rarely made him happy.
"Instructor Kahn, long time no see. Have you been promoted to colonel in headquarters?" A slim, short-haired girl wearing red-framed glasses got off the warship from Rogge Town.
Kahn had not forgotten the girl's name, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
"Tashigi, long time no see."
Kahn then explained:
"During this period of time, your military ranks have been promoted, and I have naturally not been idle at the headquarters. I captured two big pirates during the previous mission, so my rank has been promoted to colonel of the headquarters."
Coles was not surprised at all, after all, Major Kahn's strength was obvious.
As long as there is an opportunity, it is normal to seize the opportunity to get promoted as a pirate.
"Major Kahn!"
At this moment, another sailor wearing a navy coat walked down from the warship.
Kahn looked at his former subordinate and corrected him, "Long time no see, Maude. You should call me Colonel now."
"Yes, Colonel Kahn."
Maud saluted immediately.
No other navy men got off the ship. Only Coles, Dashiqi and Mod came from the Rogue Town Naval Base.
Both Tashigi and Maude were recommended by Smoker to attend the elite training camp.
Elite training camp!
This is the place where the Navy Headquarters concentrates teaching resources to train the backbone of the Navy.
As long as you can enter the elite training camp, you can become a powerful navy after coming out. For ordinary navy, this is very attractive.
Each naval department has nomination quotas.
However, recommendation is one thing, but whether one can successfully enter an elite training camp is another.
Because the navy wants to train elites, the number of people in the training camp is limited. Only those navy personnel who pass the initial assessment can eventually enter the elite training camp.
After all, there are very few naval officers like Coles who directly reserve a place in the elite training camp.
If I were to use the words from my previous life.
That's a recommendation!
After Kahn greeted Coles and the other two, he began to lead them away from the port.
"Okay, I'll take you to get familiar with the rest and temporary living area. Follow me closely and be careful not to get lost."
…
In Marinford.
The tallest building.
That's the tower of the Navy Headquarters!
It was an extremely tall classical tower, the lower part of which was a wall made of gray-black marble with the word "Navy" printed on the surface.
The upper part is composed of floors one after another, with exquisitely shaped eaves and orderly proportions that gather upward, full of ancient charm.
If someone looked down from the top floor of the naval tower, they would find that Marinford was actually shaped like a crescent.
In Kahn…
Now, under the leadership of Colonel Kahn, three navy officers from Rogue Town began to cross the huge square and come to the residential area with numerous buildings.
In addition to combat facilities, there are also other facilities on this island.
There are also many residential facilities, and the residents on the island are all families of the navy.
Marines in white naval uniforms walked here from time to time, so the four of them did not stand out as anything special.
Along the way.
Coles's dress and appearance did attract some attention and discussion.
"Hey, look at that young navy boy. He's so young but he's still wearing a navy coat?"
"Indeed, judging from his age, he should be only 18 or 19 years old. How could he be an officer above the level of Warrant Officer in this headquarters now?"
"That's not the navy of our headquarters. This is the time when the elite training camp is held. Many navy officers from all over the world come here. The positions there are three levels lower than those of our headquarters. If he were here, I estimate that this boy would only be at the level of a corporal of our headquarters."
"Well, I think it's about the same. My son's rank at this age is only a sergeant in the Navy Headquarters. But it's a pity that my son didn't inherit all of my handsomeness, otherwise he could definitely compare with this boy's handsome face."
Although it has gone far.
But with his keen hearing, Coles still heard the conversation between those people.
The last person to speak was a man in his fifties. Although he looked old, he was still quite handsome. He might have been quite good-looking when he was young.
After walking through several streets.
Kahn brought Coles and the other two to a row of dormitories, which had many vacant rooms that had already been cleaned up.
"You will rest in the rooms here. I have already arranged the rooms and procedures for you. Over there is the cafeteria. Anyone in the navy can eat for free."
"Well, it's getting late. I have some things to do, so I have to go back to work. My residence is in the building not far away. If you need anything, you can come find me and rest early."
After detailed instructions, Kahn left the townhouse dormitory building.
Watching Kahn leave, Coles and the other two felt somewhat confused.
Why does Major Kahn seem unwilling to have prolonged contact with them
Is it because this is the Navy Headquarters
Is the discipline strict
After looking at each other.
Maude suggested, "It's only five o'clock now, why don't we go over to eat first?"
"Walk."
With Coles in the lead, it would be a waste not to take this free meal.
…
At this time, because there were still five days before the preliminary assessment of the elite training camp, the recommended navy officers were a little relaxed.
After dinner, most people began to rest in their rooms.
Coles did not fall asleep.
Besides needing only three hours of sleep a day, he also had trouble sleeping due to stress.
This is the legendary Navy Headquarters!
Although he did not meet the three most powerful admirals of the Navy Headquarters, Coles still felt a huge invisible pressure.
His strength in the East China Sea was indeed good before, but this is the Grand Line.
As one of the three major forces in the Grand Line, the Navy's headquarters is full of experts, and there are many people who know the Six Styles of the Navy and Haki.
After leaving Lanros and the Twelve Shadow Knights with their family, Coles' overall strength dropped significantly.
Except for the shadow fruit.
Coles's top-notch precision swordsmanship is not worth mentioning in the Navy Headquarters.
It seems that I must seize every moment to practice and work hard to improve.
…
late at night.
The night is dark.
There were only a few starlights outside.
This row house dormitory building has many rooms, and all of them are occupied by candidates recommended by various sea area branches to participate in the elite training camp.
There are still five days left until the preliminary assessment, so there is still plenty of time.
Therefore, most of the sailors who came to participate in the preliminary assessment of the elite training camp have now relaxed their vigilance and fallen asleep.
In Coles' room.
He was meditating with his eyes closed, hoping that he could break through the current bottleneck of precise swordsmanship and enter the next stage of cutting iron.
It was dark all around.
There was no movement at all, but Coles could sense the sound of dust falling.
This is because his sensitivity has been greatly enhanced due to the amplification in the shadow.
Suddenly.
Coles came out of meditation and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared outside the window.
He was a plain-looking middle-aged man wearing a navy uniform and a navy coat on his back. He was looking at Coles in the room through the window.
After seeing Coles's reaction, the middle-aged man wrote down the score on the report board in his hand with a pen, and then disappeared silently.
It is one of the six styles of shaving in the navy!
Coles' eyes narrowed. He had learned this skill before coming here, so he discovered how the middle-aged officer suddenly appeared and disappeared.
Doesn’t the preliminary assessment start in five days, or is this a secret assessment
Ten minutes later.
The plain-looking middle-aged officer finished the assessment and turned to leave the dormitory building.
On the report board in his hand, he scored each person's alert response, with the lowest point being 1 and the highest being 10.
Among them, the vast majority were below 6 points, and those that were able to reach above 6 points were all navies with very good vigilance and reaction capabilities.
Although Coles had directly reserved a place in the elite training camp, the assessment officer still recorded his score on the report board.
The rating number recorded after Charlotte Coles' name is: 10!
