The Stable Navy in Pirates

Chapter 96
"... "

Anna pushed the dining cart full of desserts, snacks, and drinks out of the cabin and stood beside Joey.

She put the food in the dining car into the sea along with the plates.

It is said that after every navy dies, their souls will return to the sea...

"It seems that you know everything." Joey said.

Anna lowered her eyes, silently staring at the blue sea, humming.

From the moment Joy said those words, she knew part of her heart.

Although it is only a part, it is enough.

The cigarette in Joey's pocket flew out automatically and landed on his lips.

Then he held the lighter that flew out automatically, lit the cigarette, and took a slow puff.

Most of the naval soldiers were born in all over the world, and most of them were war orphans or only children in their families.

And in this chaotic world, the justice born is even more precious.

Although some people join the navy just to fill their stomachs, but if he chooses the navy, he chooses justice.

He chose justice, and was chosen to be Joey's subordinate.

Then, their future has been completely handed over to Joey the moment they are chosen.

Whether in life or in death...

In the following time, the sailing of the warship became extremely peaceful, with no pirates, natural disasters, or even bad weather.

"Joy, we will arrive at our destination soon." Anna reported from the observation deck.

Joey leaned on the deck railing with a cigarette in his mouth, and after a reply, he stood up from the deck.

Anna jumped down from the observation deck and landed next to Joey, staring at the getting closer and closer to the Moon Arc Island, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

"I feel a lot more peaceful inside."

"Ah..." Joey spit out the smoke, and his restless heart was gradually calmed down.

At this time, a large number of marines had gathered in the port, and most of them were Joey's friends.

In fact, in the entire 168 branch, except for the newly joined navy, there is no one who is not Joey's friend.

When the warship docked, Joey stepped down from the deck and stepped on the land of his hometown again.

After getting off the boat, Vic greeted him, "Joy, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Vic." Joey hugged him.

"Mr. Joey..."

"Joey..."

"Mr. Joey..."

Facing the friendly greetings from everyone, Joey nodded and smiled one by one.

Vic put his arms around Joey's neck and said with a smile, "Well, you are almost here, so I reported to Colonel Cullen. If I didn't just report to Colonel Cullen's office, I didn't even know you were coming back .”

Joey smiled at the navy, nodded, and said casually, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."

"By the way, you will bring two navies with you when you come back?" Vic asked with a smile.

Joey's smile froze, and he said, "They all sacrificed."

Vic froze for a moment, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He patted Joey's arm lightly, without asking any more questions.

After the two walked for a while, Vic suddenly said, "This is the way this world is, if you don't pay attention, you will be killed."

"Joy, live with their will."

"When did you learn to say these great principles?" Joey turned his head and asked in doubt.

Vic scratched his head and laughed, "I said it before I knew it, haha..."

Suddenly, Joey's expression turned pale, "I've read the newspaper, the town..."

Vic said, "There were no casualties in the town, Joey."

Looking at his awkward smile, Joey sighed inwardly, as expected...

He raised his hand and rubbed Vic's head, and said, "Don't worry, Vic, this kind of thing will never happen again."

"Don't rub my hair!" Vic yelled.

Joey didn't stop, but increased his strength, "What's the matter? It's just rubbing his head."

……

Outside Karen's office, Joey put down the palm on Vic's head and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

"Let's talk later, Vic." Joey waved his hand, opened the door and walked in.

"Colonel Karen, Major Joey is here to report." Joey closed the wooden door, walked in front of Karen, and saluted.

Karen stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Major Joey, don't be restrained, sit as you please."

Joey nodded, turned around and walked to the sofa in the office to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Karen asked, "How is it? It feels like returning to my hometown."

"It's very comfortable, and I feel a lot calmer inside." Joey said.

Karen nodded slightly, took a sip from the teacup next to his right hand.

"It feels like Colonel Cullen has changed a lot." Joey said suddenly.

Karen froze, put down the teacup lightly, and smiled gently, "Is there any?"

"Yes, it feels like Colonel Cullen has become more gentle."

Hearing Joey's compliment, Karen blushed slightly, embarrassed, "Yes...I don't think so."

Compared with the passion and seriousness when he first came to branch 168, Karen's way of dealing with people has become much more sophisticated.

It seems that time has smoothed his corners and made him more considerate of the overall situation.

After the two talked about some unimportant things, Joey got up and left the office.

Joey gently closed the wooden door, turned to look at Vic, and said deceitfully, "Who have become victims of the disaster."

Vic paused, turned around and forced a smile, "I told you there were no casualties."

"Come on, I've just asked Colonel Cullen."

Vic bowed his head in silence.

Joey stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Take me to..."

Vic lowered his head, bit his lips, his nose was sore, he wiped away his tears with his navy uniform, "Come with me..."

……

In the new cemetery, Joey stared at the dozens of tombstones in front of him, dazed.

"The original cemetery was turned into ruins due to the impact of the meteorite, and all the remains inside were washed out." Vic stood behind him, "Sorry, the remains of my uncles and aunts..."

"Vic!" Joey yelled, cutting him off.

He looked at a huge cross tombstone in the center and whispered "Thank you..."

Vic sucked in his nose, "These are what I should do, Joey, aren't we friends?"

Joey took his right leg and walked towards the tombstone of the cross.

Under this tombstone, all the bones that were washed out were buried.

Maybe Joey's parents were among them, maybe not.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the tombstone, he said, "Vic, can I stay by myself for a while..."

Vic didn't answer, turned and left.

Clouds are floating in the sky, and a few black crows are wandering in the cemetery...

I don't know how long it has passed, Joey slowly got up from the ground, suddenly, his movements froze, and he murmured, "I see..."

As he looked, a white square tombstone was placed behind the cross tombstone on the right.

There is a black and white photo of the old man on the tombstone.

This old man is Vic's only relative in the world...
