Chapter 13 Heading to Navy Headquarters

It had been ten days since Wood said goodbye to everyone on Red Leaf Island.

The so-called law of a hundred days of injury is obviously not applicable in this world.

I don't know whether it was because of Wood's excellent physical condition or the excellent medical skills of the ship's doctor, but in short, just ten days later, Wood was able to get out of bed and move around.

In these ten days, their warships also visited most of the first half of the great route.

Probably because he met Wood, who was quite satisfied with him, Zephyr rarely continued to be too picky about the subsequent recruitment matters. Before returning to the Navy Headquarters, he barely reached the minimum standard for recruitment, which also made Major General Kadaru relieved. .

Since his mobility had been restored, Wood had no intention of seeking special treatment, so he applied to move out of the independent cabin.

However, the rumors spread on the ship for many days have obviously caused Wood to be rejected by the recruits. Wood didn't express too much concern about this, nor did he explain anything.

Because Navy warships can pass through the special route of the Gate of Justice, they did not waste too much time on their return trip and returned to the Navy's headquarters "Marineford".

At the huge port, warships passed the instructions and docked at the designated location.

Unlike most islands, Marineford is also an island, but this island has been fully developed and has become the base camp of the navy.

As soon as they stepped off the warship, Wood and the other newcomers were attracted by a huge building in front of them.

A multi-story tower-shaped building stands on the thick city walls in all four directions, and the huge city wall is also written with the word "Navy" in large letters and the logo of a seagull holding a scale in its mouth.

There are many countries on the Grand Line, but in terms of the scale of the buildings, there are really few that can compare to the Navy Headquarters.

And while the building is magnificent, the thick gun barrels on the city wall and the defense force of ten steps and one post seem to also tell that this sea fortress is not just an ordinary product.

Steel, military uniforms, and guns are the longings in the hearts of most men. When most of the recruited recruits see the majestic naval headquarters in front of them and the naval soldiers undergoing training, they can't help but feel excited. .

Most people here will choose to join the navy, and they just come here with the idea of making a living.

However, now seeing the elite navy soldiers walking by and looking at the sassy officers commanding the operations, many people couldn't help but look forward to it and began to imagine that they would become one of them in the future.

Zephyr and the others had just disembarked, and another warship just docked. A tall and muscular man wearing a white military uniform, with a dog-head hat on his hair, saw Zephyr from a distance, and he also let out a heroic shout. Laughing and walking this way.

The other party seemed to be about the same age as Zephyr, and like Zephyr, he was wearing a military suit and vest, and also had a cloak of justice on his back. It was not difficult to tell from his clothing that the other party was also a "general-level" naval admiral.

"I asked you why the port is so lively than usual today. It turns out that you, an old boy, have returned with new recruits.

Look at these cannons, every one of them is polished and shiny. They have never been fired before, but today they are all shining.

Last time during the Warring States period, the guy clearly complained to me about the recent lack of navy funding, and today, in order to deceive these new recruits, this wave of military exercises was obviously a waste of money. "

The big man who came towards Zephyr and the others had senbei in his mouth with one hand and a bag in the other. At the same time, he did not forget to expose his old club's shortcomings. The accompanying navy looked speechless.

Although the Navy Headquarters in the past was considered to be heavily guarded, it was only relatively so. After all, this is "Marineford", where the navy's most powerful admirals and marshals sit. There should be no pirates strong enough to dare to directly attack the navy headquarters.

Therefore, the armaments and various military exercises that Wood and his new recruits see now are obviously specially arranged by someone.

Even Zephyr and the others, who were familiar with the internal situation of the navy, knew who was responsible for the arrangements and operations without thinking too much.

At the same time, Zephyr and the others also knew that the reason why the Navy Headquarters did this was not only to show the powerful power of the Navy, but also to make the recruits look forward to it and increase their sense of belonging.

However, if you know it, you know it, and no one who knows it would choose to directly disrupt it like this.

It can be expected that due to the disruption of the guy in front of him, the effectiveness of this wave of operations by the Navy Headquarters will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Putting aside the consumption of manpower, the costs of shells and other expenses for military exercises have not achieved the expected results. A certain current naval admiral will probably come to trouble the big-mouthed guy in front of him tomorrow.

"Garp, if you talk so openly, Sengoku will probably cause trouble for you soon."

Looking at the big man approaching, Zephyr also showed a rare smile on his resolute face.

And by calling him, all the cute new marines present realized that the bad old man wearing a dog-headed hat in front of them was actually the famous naval hero Garp!

Among the generals at the Navy Headquarters, in terms of popularity, Zephyr is undoubtedly the most popular, because most of the non-commissioned officers here are his students, and Zephyr has always been dedicated to his students.

However, when it comes to the most famous person, it is not Zephyr nor the so-called naval marshal, but the naval hero Monkey D. Garp in front of them now!

This big shot is not only the hero of the entire navy, but also has a certain reputation among ordinary people outside. After all, he is the person who can defeat the Pirate King repeatedly.

"According to past practice, it seems that these words cannot be said openly... but since they have been said out loud, there is nothing we can do about it.

In order to prevent that Sengoku guy from causing trouble for me, I just pretended that you didn't hear what I just said, hahahahahaha. "

After hearing Zephyr's words, Garp seemed to realize belatedly that he seemed to have "accidentally" demolished his gay friend Sengoku.

It's impossible to admit a mistake. He, Garp, also wants to save face, so now he can only laugh heartlessly to make the recruits like Wood forget what happened just now.

"You have been in the navy for decades and hold a high position. Can't you think about the consequences of doing things?"

Looking at Garp who was laughing without any guilt in front of him, Zephyr was speechless and covered his face. In terms of age, Garp is actually several years older than himself, but his personality is sometimes as childish as a child, and he is quite random...

However, when he heard General Zephyr complaining about Garp, Major General Kadaru on the side also had a look of constipation on his face. He really wanted to say: "Compared with Lieutenant General Garp's willfulness, General Zephyr It's not much better at all…"
