It was noon.
The first class finally ended.
During the course, some recruits gained enlightenment while others had doubts, but no matter what, after the course, most of the naval recruits had a basic understanding and concept of "protection."
Then it was lunch time.
…
Naval base cafeteria.
Fifty-eight recruits, led by Major Kahn, walked into the huge restaurant.
There are over a thousand people at the naval base in Rogue Town, but there is only one cafeteria. Therefore, in order to avoid crowding, meal times are spaced out.
At this time, in the cafeteria, apart from the naval recruits, there were also cooks and handymen.
Yafu, the head chef, is nearly sixty years old. His face is as big as a millstone, but his stature is very short, giving people a huge sense of contrast.
While serving food to the new recruits, Yafu said proudly, "New guys, you're lucky. On the second day after you arrived, you got to enjoy Navy curry. This is the old man's specialty."
Kahn explained.
"Chef Yafu's words are not exaggerated. He has been a navy chef for 36 years and his cooking skills are superb. Navy curry is only available at noon on Sundays every month. You are very lucky to be able to enjoy this dish as soon as you come."
The recruits suddenly realized and immediately became looking forward to this navy curry.
Coles stood in the line of new recruits, holding a tray in his hand, and began to queue up in an orderly manner to get his meal.
When it was his turn, Coles held out his plate and a chef placed a large spoonful of rice on it, followed by a full spoonful of curry from head chef Yaf.
A strong aroma immediately rushed into his nose, in which the smell of beef was wrapped and blended. In addition, the smell of onions and tomatoes filled the air, forming a distinctive curry aroma.
Navy curry rice from the pirate world.
Coles was also looking forward to it.
After turning around and sitting at the dining table not far away, he picked up the spoon and began to scoop up a spoonful of rice mixed with curry and put it into his mouth to taste it.
The beef is soft and tender in your mouth, and the soup is rich and mellow.
Navy curry rice, definitely delicious.
On the side, some naval recruits were full of praise after tasting the delicious naval curry rice.
“It’s delicious!”
“This is simply delicious!”
“Navy curry rice is definitely the best food I have ever eaten. It will be my favorite from now on!”
Yafu looked at the group of excited navy recruits, his old face full of pride: "The navy curry rice I made is naturally delicious."
A navy recruit had already finished his navy curry rice and asked with some reluctance, "Chef, can I have another serving?"
Yafu said proudly, "Of course. The duty of the Navy Canteen is to provide meals for the Navy. You can eat as much as you want."
Hearing this, the recruits were overjoyed and began to take their empty plates to get new meals.
"That's great, I want another one!"
"I'll have another one too. I'm not full yet."
"I want three servings. I want to eat navy curry rice until I'm full today!"
Yafu held the spoon skillfully and calmly scooped the navy curry for the recruits again.
"Don't worry, there's still plenty of navy curry, enough for you to eat."
Hearing what the chef said.
Coles couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was a pity that he didn't have as big an appetite as his sister, otherwise he would definitely eat up all the money in this free naval canteen.
…
In the afternoon.
The sun is high in the sky and the temperature is scorching.
Following Instructor Kahn's orders, the fifty-eight recruits lined up in four rows and began running around the training ground.
After eating the navy curry rice, the recruits were in very good spirits and were able to complete the high-intensity physical training with ease.
However, as time goes by.
The gap within the team gradually emerged. After all, people's physiques are different.
After years of training, Coles' physical fitness has far surpassed those of the new recruits.
While others were gasping for breath and sweating profusely, he was still standing at the top of the team calmly, without a trace of fatigue on his face.
"Is he a monster? I'm almost paralyzed and he seems to be just warming up?"
"As expected of a new recruit who just joined the navy and was able to kill a pirate with a bounty of 7 million."
"I heard that he is a Devil Fruit user, so he can kill pirates. If I had eaten a Devil Fruit, I would be able to do it too."
The other recruits were envious of Coles's brilliant performance.
Kahn quietly watched the training of the new recruits and made an accurate preliminary assessment of the physical fitness of each recruit.
The one with the best physical fitness among them is naturally Charlotte Coles, who is known as the "seed-level" navy.
As for the other recruits.
Their physical fitness is just average.
Not far from the training ground is a six-story naval building. The exterior of the building is painted dark blue, giving people a beautiful feeling.
at this time.
At a window on the sixth floor, Smoker was looking down at the scene of recruits being trained below. He was smoking a cigar, and white smoke was rising up and eventually dissipating outside the window.
The adjutant asked with some confusion.
"Colonel Smoker, why don't you teach that 'seed-level' recruit yourself?"
"Of course, I'm not questioning Major Kahn's teaching ability. It's just that as a fellow Devil Fruit user, you should be able to teach him faster, right?"
Hearing this, Smoker slowly exhaled a mouthful of white liquid and replied, "Although I am also a user of the Devil Fruit ability, I am not good at teaching new recruits.
Of course, the most important thing is that Major Kahn's teaching method is unique. All the recruits he teaches can become qualified navy soldiers, right?"
The adjutant thought about it and nodded.
"Indeed, Major Kahn's teaching success rate is over 90%, which makes him one of the top instructors in our Rogue Navy."
“That’s all!”
Smoker stopped watching the scene on the training ground, turned back to his seat, picked up his navy coat, and walked outside.
"No matter what his future achievements are, he first needs to become a qualified sailor."
The adjutant suddenly realized that this was the commander's intention. He was worthy of being Colonel Smoker!
"I see. Colonel Smoker, where are you going? Do you need me to follow you?"
Smoker didn't look back, but waved his hand and said:
"No, I'm just going to the casino."
The adjutant stood there in a daze, and could only sigh helplessly. Apart from hunting pirates, Colonel Smoker's basic interests were pottery and casinos.
He can't stop this kind of thing!
…
The second day of recruit training.
Kahn began to talk about the new teaching course.
"The navy is almost always facing the risk of fighting pirates. These pirates roam the seas, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil."
"After you finish your recruit period, you may face such dangers and battles at any time. If you want to survive these battles, you must first learn to protect yourself."
Immediately afterwards, four navy soldiers entered the classroom carrying two large boxes.
Kahn opened the lid, and the items inside came into everyone's sight.
That's a gun!
There are guns and weapons all over it!
One box contained flintlock pistols and the other contained flintlock rifles.
Kahn first picked up a flintlock pistol, showed it to the recruits, and introduced it, "This is a repeating flintlock pistol. It has a short handle and is easy to carry. It is the favorite gun of pirates."
Then, Kahn picked up a flintlock rifle from another box.
"Compared to the short-handled flintlock, the flintlock rifle has a longer barrel and greater power. The handle is also harder. If the enemy gets close, it can also counterattack. It is now the unified firearm configuration of the navy."
"In the next period of time, you will begin to learn the art of spearmanship so as to gain the ability to protect yourself and fight."
