The World Military Draft

The sky is blue and cloudless, where golden sunlight shines on the rippling surface of the sea as if the water is covered with a layer of the fine silver veil.

The sun's early morning rays are a bit cold, the salty sea gust blowing over, adding a few senses of sorrow, but the coast is filled with people. There is no trace of any coldness, just their eyes eager to look at the sea.

The flock's comprised is also quite odd. There are four or five-year-old children with snotty noses. There are also sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers who wield iron swords. Such a mix should be a messy and noisy one, but there is silence. Only the quiet of the tranquil body and chaotic breath can prove that their hearts are not as calm as the surface.

Suddenly, the sea was stained red with blood, and the waves were raging, and the tide rolled as if there were monsters from hell crawling out from the bottom of the sea. But these 'Scouts' are not afraid but happy. The cheers that boiled back to the sky have filled the shore.

The next moment, a topless, clean-cut teenager from the bottom of the sea walked out. His hands were even carrying tens of meters of the giant sea king. Every step of his can trigger the tremor of the ground and waves to rush.

"Wow! With his bare hands, he beat a Sea King in the sea. Longinus-nii is so strong!"

"Idiot, it's not the first time. What's so strange about it? The focus of your concern should be that Longinus-nii has once again set a new record for him by taking only three minutes to capture a sea king!"

"I wonder when I will be as powerful as Longinus-nii?"

"When you can be like Longinus-nii, who dives into the deep sea every day and train his body nonstop, then come back to this kind of nonsense!"

Not only the seven or eight-year-old kids, but even those sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers are also happy enough for the twelve-year-old Longinus, and each of them says "nii" without a trace of shame.

The young man named Longinus has a gentle smile on his face, which gives him a sense of reliability at a glance.

"Baki, bring the flesh of this sea-king over to share with everyone!" Longinus leaped up high and fell in mid-air like a meteor, smashing his fist on the body of the sea king, and actually "cut" it into two equal pieces in a moment.

The young man who had his name called came forward with his head held high as if it was a great honor to be given the task by Longinus. The "Scouts" around him also looked at him with envy and jealousy.

"Longinus-nii, I will get the job done!". Baki went to the half of the sea king's body and pulled out the iron hook skillfully into the flesh of the sea king. With other "scouts" holding the rope, he was ready to pull it back.

"By the way, Longinus-nii, this is today's newspaper. I almost forgot to give it to you." Baki rubbed the back of his head with shame and took a well-kept newspaper from his arms and handed it to Longinus.

"Thank you for your trouble." Longinus gave thanks with a smile.

"No... no trouble, no trouble at all!" Baki flushed and said, stuttered, and then ran back to the team to join with the little ones to move the sea king.

...

The beach is full of smoke, the aroma of food is tempting, but Longinus is not tempted until the last physical training is complete before dragging his body to sit on the rocks like a leader. One hand holds a slice of huge roast meat as breakfast. The other flipped through the day's newspaper to get news.

At this moment, Longinus looks cold and calm. If Baki and other people see it, they will be surprised that Longinus, who smiles all the time gently, still has such a secret side?

Longinus gently closed the newspaper in his hand, and a smile came out of his cold face: "After three years in this world, I finally know what kind of time I'm in!"

The first page of the newspaper was taken up entirely by two huge headlines when it followed Longinus' gaze.

<The execution of the Pirate King Roger. The age of pirates came to a complete end!>

<The World Military Draft>

"Saying that the era of pirates has come to an end is nothing more than the last cover of the Marine and the World Government. They actually see more clearly than anyone else. The Golden Age of Piracy is coming. They will not start the world military draft in this 'situation is great' case!"

Longinus calmly kept on eating roast meat, and in his heart, he was thinking, "As far as I can guess, the island where I am now should be the first half of the Grand Line. I don't know which of the seven routes. But, being in the Golden Age of Piracy started the first waves, this place will soon become the center of the storm. The next pirates that appear will not be like the two years from time to time to come around with a bounty of ten or twenty million small pirates!

"To stay here, I may find a pirate that I can't beat at any time. It's not just that there are not many sea kings left around. It seems that it's time to leave here!"

"Whether to go with the flow and become a pirate or deceive the innocent people into becoming a marine, this is not so hard for me to choose."

"With this body's gifts and soul to provide strength, all that is missing is just a structured guide and teachings. After all, not everyone can be like Luffy when he was young with Garp to build the basics. After sailing, there is the Dark King Rayleigh, who guides the Haki. For me, joining the Marine can maximize your own talent, which is the first."

"If I want to take place in this sea, I can never throw away the help I got from that thing. Since I can't stay away from killing, I might as well choose the Marine that can kill pirates openly and at the same time have some support, which is the second."

"To unlock the minds of the former ones, it is also crucial to use the intelligence system of the Marine and the government, which is the third."

"Moreover, the so-called camp for me is just the pursuit of interests. If it is really important, it is not a bad choice to disguise me as one of the clowns and switch on the secret." Longinus' eyes wander, after all :

How can people survive in the jungle without a knife? If you want to live well, you can't lose the armor - Lu Xun.

"Longinus-nii, Longinus-nii, it's not good... not good!" said a blue-haired teenager rushing to come up out of breath.

The icy lines on Longinus' face are quickly gentle, and he quickly changes his personality: "Fitz, what's going on? Take it easy. Just calm down and speak clearly."

He seems to have found the pillar of support, the anxious look on Fitz's face also calms down, but the trembling legs prove that his fear is still not gone: "It is the Giant Rhino Pirates! The Giant Rhino Alex is a pirate with a bounty of 37 million berries!"
