One Piece: My Spirit

One month later

At the naval base in Rogge Town, Charles received the order letter from Da Siqi, which also officially announced that Charles had completed his enlistment training ahead of schedule.

Although Shire is a sergeant, it is unavoidable that he needs to participate in a three-month enlistment training. This is a stage where he is familiar with all aspects of naval discipline, situation, and life from scratch, and it is also a stage to test the strength of enlisted sailors.

And Shire showed enough strength in this month that even Smogg and others felt that it was a waste to let Shire stay in the training camp for these three months, so they also specially approved Shire to graduate two months earlier.

Others didn't have any opinion on this, and even many people in the base admired the new sergeant who killed Creek. Charles also showed enough strength in this short month, especially his swordsmanship.

Among them, the one who was most surprised by Shire's strength was Smoker. Smoker found Shire half a month ago and wanted to test how far his specific strength could reach.

And Smoker also really felt how strong Shire is a swordsman. In many cases, Smoker can only rely on his elemental body of fruit ability to avoid damage, otherwise he will really be defeated by Shire!

Charles also has nothing to do with this natural system. Whoever told him that he hasn't mastered domineering, his attack can't do much damage to Smoker at all.

But the same Smoker's fruit ability can't help Ciel, because every time Smoker intends to use smoke to block and trap Ciel's actions, Ciel will swing the chopping wave, using the huge air current generated by the flying slash to blow away Smoker's smoke.

In the end, the two could only fight to a tie, because neither of them could completely beat the other, and if the fight continued, it would only become a meaningless physical tug-of-war.

Therefore, Smog also gave Charles the authority to command a medium-sized ship, with a total of about thirty people!

And after this month of familiarization, Shire is roughly familiar with the situation of the navy. With the same military rank, the headquarters navy is equal to the branch navy in the Great Channel, but the branch navy here in the four seas is three ranks weaker!
It can be seen that the strength of the navy is gradually decreasing according to the Navy Headquarters, the Great Channel Branch, and the Four Seas Branch, and this kind of top-down management at the level has a great advantage: that is, the elite navy can get maximum use and exert their capabilities!
But the disadvantage is also very obvious: that is, the naval elites are all concentrated in the great channel, which has led to a serious shortage of combat power in the Four Seas branch and even a lot of corruption.
Therefore, as time goes by, many Four Seas branches will have the situation that they can't beat the pirates again and again, and it's better to play fish and bully the people to make money.

This is also a situation that Shire has encountered before, and some navies have even acted as an umbrella for underground arms transactions, which may not be caused by this reason.

But even if the elite combat power is concentrated in the same place, the embarrassing situation that the number of pirates is increasing and the navy is seriously insufficient is still unavoidable!
And Shire has always thought that the navy's strength should be sufficient. After all, there is such a large mass base for them to serve as a reserve for 'selecting' soldiers.

But after joining the navy, I realized that the reality is that the navy has always been short of manpower!The size of a branch of the Navy is only about 300 people, and how this is apportioned to the global seas pales in comparison!

The number of branch members in the Four Seas is estimated to be smaller, and the weak branch may not even have 200 people!
Therefore, in the face of so many pirates and the threat of the four sea emperors, the world government finally thought of a way-recruit!
Another name is the 'Shichibukai System'!
How ironic this must be!

Of course, these things are still far away from Donghai, and Shire's first task now is to gain a firm foothold.

During these two months, Charles would usually compete swordsmanship with Dashiqi in the base, and sometimes go out to sea to destroy pirates, and most of the pirates in the East China Sea were indeed weak. They were as vicious as wolves and tigers when facing unarmed ordinary people, but they were so vulnerable in front of the navy that even Charles had no chance to make a move.

It’s just that Shire feels a little uncomfortable every time he sees the towns destroyed and burned by pirates, ordinary people who died, women in disheveled clothes, children who lost their parents and so on. Although he rescued them from the pirates, the pain may not heal for a long time, and it is irreparable!

And in the past two months, Shire has experienced this kind of thing no less than a dozen times. It is conceivable how huge the number of pirates is with this frequency.

This is still in the weakest East China Sea, and in the other three seas and the Great Channel, this is almost a common situation.

Eliminate pirates, and new pirates appear. This is a vicious cycle. Simply eliminating pirates is only a temporary solution, but not the root cause. In the final analysis, there are two reasons, the evil results brought about by the Tianlong people's ruling system, and the era of great pirates opened by One Piece King Gol D. Roger!
And Shire also thought of a way to improve this situation, but it is a pity that he is now a navy, and it may be very difficult to realize the idea in his mind, but if he chooses to be a pirate, the idea in his mind can be implemented.

But the matter has come to this point, Shire can only try its best to ensure the safety of the nearby sea area, and Shire can't help other sea areas.

Therefore, in just two months, there were hardly any ships that dared to raise the black skull flag in the waters near Rogge Town.

However, not many people complained about Shire's approach. You must know that Smoker also cleaned up a large number of pirates, but many people complained that it affected their business and livelihood.

Even Da Siqi curiously asked about Shire, but Shire just answered the question with a helpless smile. In this deformed society, pirates in this world are almost no different from ordinary people, because a large part of the economic development of the whole society needs pirates to drive it!

It is obvious that they are pirates who have ruined many families, but many people still have to rely on them to continue their lives, which is both ironic and helpless.

And Shire eliminated those pirates who did not follow the rules and killed wantonly. They used them to scare chickens and monkeys. As long as they obeyed the trading rules and did not take the initiative to cause trouble, Shire would turn a blind eye and close one eye. Shire set a red line for them that could not be crossed.

Pirates who are gradually afraid of Charr's force will subconsciously follow this unspoken rule, and pirates who cross the line will become the target of attack. Shire's purpose is to let this atmosphere and unspoken rules gradually penetrate into the minds of these pirates.

And this can only be said to be the tragedy of this society and the times.
