Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 61 is hell!

Three days later, a warship docked in the bay port right in front of the headquarters fortress.

This is a real war beast! Not Garp's slutty bastard!
The deck was lined with gun turrets and flags flying high. The soldiers held their muskets neatly on their shoulders, sparkling in the sun!

This warship is the one that comes to pick up Ron... and others to go to Hell Island.

Twice a year, three months each time, led by a vice admiral, it travels back and forth between Hell Island and the Navy Headquarters. It has been in service for more than 20 years. The cleaned parts of the hull can vaguely see seaweed and green algae and sharp claw marks, full of mottled traces left by the years. The red rust on the muzzle and the white but clean military flag make a gust of iron and blood blow in your face!

Ron was very familiar with the man who handed over the command of the warship to Flying Squirrel at the port. He was Vice Admiral Spider, one of the five vice admirals who participated in the Demon-Slaying Order on Judicial Island in the original work, and the hawkish elite of the Navy who captured Marco while he was distracted during the War of Marineford!

Although he didn't care about other people's sense of justice, Ron was relieved when he learned that the leader of his ship was the usually gentle Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel.

It’s all the same anyway, who likes to face a boss with a dead face all day long?

Look at that group of soldiers, they are almost more afraid of the Ghost Spider than they are of the Pirates!

"Thank you for your hard work, Vice Admiral Ghost Spider!"

The flying squirrel didn't care about Ghost Spider's expression at all. He walked up to him and saluted him seriously.

"It is our duty and obligation!"

Ghost Spider saluted in return and said, "The warship was attacked by a sea king on its way back. Although the cabin has been repaired, we still have to be careful of leaks. In addition, there is still enough fresh water and supplies, so we can set sail at any time."

Hawkish officers have one advantage, that is, they do whatever you say, without any extra thoughts. Unless they encounter force majeure or everyone is dead, they will try their best to complete the task beautifully, and they will not be greedy for credit!

For example, when the Ghost Spider returned, a few simple words overshadowed the danger of being attacked by sea kings, but judging from the large pieces of brand new wooden boards on the side of the ship, the danger at that time must have been extraordinary!

This is a war behemoth, a movable sea fortress!
Even it had a large piece of its hull torn off, that sea king was definitely not a good person!

Seeing this, the flying squirrel saluted again: "Thanks for the reminder! I will pay attention!"

"it is my responsibility!"

Ghost Spider returned the greeting, then biting his cigar, he glanced at the navy rookies standing by with different expressions, paused for a moment at a face at the back of the crowd, and asked with a little surprise: "That kid over there... I remember he only joined the navy for half a year? Why is he here too?"

The Huadu mission was a secret mission, so no one knew that Ron had been training in the navy as a "civilian" except for the core members like Zhan Guo. But even if they didn't know, Ron had only been in the navy for more than half a year, and if he wanted to go to Hell Island, he would not be allowed to train for less than a year!
unless……

"That brat is a little too strong! The Marshal had to make an exception and let him go early..."

The flying squirrel knew who he was talking about. In fact, this was his first reaction when he got the list. But if you think about it, why not?
The Navy strictly prohibits recruits who have been trained for less than a year from going to Hell Island. It is nothing more than a worry that the recruits are not strong enough and will not be able to get training. Instead, they may die there prematurely. In the end, it is still a question of strength!
And this problem is not a problem at all for Ron!

As long as he doesn't come into contact with certain monsters in the core area of ​​Hell Island, his strength is more than enough to protect himself!
Not to mention he is a naturalist!

Even if most monsters are stronger than him, they have no means to restrain his elementalization.

In addition, the self-healing ability that the top leaders are well aware of, the absolute speed and explosive power of the Thunder Fruit, the shockingly strong physique that has been tempered...all these conditions combined, if they want to kill Ron, even they have to be serious.

Hearing this, Ghost Spider also remembered the "2700" Dao Power value that Ron had scored during the year-end evaluation... This was a number that completely exceeded the minimum standard for survival on Hell Island! So he nodded and sighed, "Are all the natural guys monsters?"

The current three generals are like this, and I am afraid that Ron will be like this in the future...

"No, Ron is special..."

The flying squirrel shook his head and made no excuses.

As a veteran in the Navy Headquarters, second only to Garp and Sengoku, he witnessed how the three admirals became legends step by step. However, compared with Ron now, Flying Squirrel thinks he is still lacking...

At least in terms of physical talent, he can leave the three admirals far behind! He learned paper painting in half a month. This interesting incident on Garp's ship has made everyone who knows about it regard Ron as a demon!

……

After a lengthy inspection, the warship was allowed to set sail.

Woohoo! !
With a shrill whistle, the war beast slowly moved away from the Navy Headquarters.

On the deck, there were a total of thirty-six recruits of the same period, including Ron. They were all elite recruits who met the minimum requirements.

At first, everyone was excited at the thought that as long as they survived on Hell Island for more than three months, they would become qualified naval officers. But when Ghost Spider returned with the previous group of teams, this excitement was gradually replaced by anxiety, fear, and uneasiness.

The reason is that, out of the last batch of 21 recruits who went to Hell Island, only 17 came back alive!

The mortality rate is close to 20%!

And these 17 people were all injured, haggard and miserable, even worse than beggars! Moreover, three of them were disabled, and five were seriously injured. Even if they recovered, their future was bleak!
"Sir!"

Looking at the flying squirrel standing at the front of the deck with its sword drawn and looking at the Marine Headquarters, one of the recruits boldly asked, "What on earth is Hell Island?"

Before this, everyone was ordered not to tell the recruits any information about Hell Island. So the Hell Island, which the recruits regarded as the last hurdle on the road to success, was nothing to be afraid of. No matter how hard or tiring it was, could it be better than the training in the recruit camp?
But when they really saw the miserable conditions of their senior brothers and sisters who returned from Hell Island, this luck was gradually infected by fear. Some of the timid ones were even trembling and began to regret signing the consent form.

Hearing the new recruits' questions, the flying squirrel came back to his senses from his gaze and glanced at them.

"Did you know... out of the 17 people who came back last time, only 9 of them passed?"

Instead of answering the question, he asked a seemingly unrelated question.

In response, the recruits shook their heads.

Due to the information blockade, even the wealthy naval families did not dare to leak the news to their own children without authorization. They only warned them again and again that Hell Island was very dangerous and asked them to be prepared.

"This is the only help we can provide you..."

The flying squirrel's gaze was as cold as a knife as he swept across the group of restless recruits: "If you think you can't survive, you can seek shelter at the warship station."

It doesn't mean that you can ask for support at the cost of failure when your life is in danger, but when you think you can't survive, you can return to the warship and receive the protection of the flying squirrel!

The meaning behind this is not just as simple as the power gap you face when in danger!
It also means that Hell Island is a purgatory on earth that is enough to make these proud children of heaven bow their heads and submit to him!!

The recruits present were not stupid, and when these words were spoken, everyone's expressions suddenly tensed up.

Hell Island is so terrifying!
Even Ron is no exception...

But unlike the others who were frightened, Ron was thinking, if it was that dangerous, how many sandbags suitable for training could he find!!
As for danger and death?
So what?!
Becoming stronger is his only goal!
If he died there, it would mean that he was just a man like that...

The flying squirrel's words seemed unrelated, but they actually answered the recruit's question in another way.

Where exactly is Hell Island?
It's hell!!!

When I got back to my hometown, I found that people here have started to wear long sleeves, long pants and jackets. On the other hand, I bought a T-shirt and shorts from Heilan Home, plus a pair of flip-flops... Did I remember the season wrong or is it really that cold? I think the weather now is not hot enough without turning on the air conditioner or the fan? ? ?
