Chapter 8

Following the footsteps of Aokiji, Roach walked towards the area near the northern coast of the town. Along the way, as long as he encountered the navy, he took the initiative to give way to them.

The two of them stopped in front of a hotel. Aokiji pushed the door and was about to go in. Luo Qi just wanted to follow, but he blocked it with his hand.

"I'm going to take a rest. There are a few things you need to do next. You hurry up and get them done. We're going to sea in the next few days." Aokiji said lightly.

Roach nodded immediately and said, "If you have anything to do, just leave it to me."

"Roach, what is your military rank now?"

"Because of his excellent performance during training, he was promoted from a third-class soldier to a second-class soldier." Roach said with a proud smile.

"En." Qingzhi turned his head and looked at Roach. It seems that this person is indeed highly regarded by Garp. After slightly nodding, he said: "From today onwards, you will be the corps leader. As for the military achievements, you owe it first."

"Ah?" Luo Qi was stunned, looking at Aokiji in surprise, but he saw that he took out a piece of paper from his arms without any disturbance, and quickly wrote on it with a pen.

"This is an order to promote the military rank. After you become the corporal leader, you can apply for a small boat. We will need it when we go to sea." Aokiji motioned for him to accept the order, and Roach quickly took it.

"Also, your knife needs to be polished and maintained. You can go to the blacksmith shop in Beicheng District, and some supplies for the ship will be bought as soon as possible. If you don't know, you can ask Nancy for help." Qingzhi ordered some chores to go to sea.

But at this moment, Roach did not feel happy because of his military rank promotion. Instead, the cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and he suddenly realized a very terrifying fact.

The power of this person in front of him is not comparable to that of a mere colonel, and the name Aokiji keeps echoing in his mind.

Suddenly Luo Qi's heart moved, and he vaguely heard the other recruits talking about it, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time, and now he realized that one of the three navy generals is called Aokiji!
The military rank of this person in front of him is actually one level higher than that of Karp. What did he do?
Couldn't help swallowing, Roach's face became extremely stiff, and he smiled reluctantly: "Okay, General Aokiji, I will finish you... the task you gave me."

"Well, wait for a while." Qingzhi didn't care about Luo Qi's face turning blue and then pale, turned around and walked into the hotel, leaving him alone in the wind.

"I'm afraid I'm going to die this time. I didn't expect that my naval career is only one month, which is too bleak." Roach muttered to himself, squatting on the ground with a decadent expression.

In his mind, he was already wanted by the navy, and then the three generals personally went out to arrest him, and finally he was ruthlessly imprisoned in the advancing city.

Not long after, the door of the hotel opened again, and the figure of Aokiji appeared. Seeing Roach's appearance, he looked at him strangely.

Luo Qi quickly jumped up from the ground, and gave a military salute to Aokiji.

"Hello, General Aokiji!"

"This is Bailey for the purchase of supplies. It can be regarded as paying the military salary in advance." Aokiji threw him a full money bag, and Roach hurriedly caught it.

"Okay, General Aokiji, I will complete the task as soon as possible, is there anything else?"

"It's gone." Aokiji remained expressionless.

Thinking that if he couldn't go to sea as soon as possible, his deception of the admiral might be exposed, Roach grabbed the money bag, turned and ran towards the Navy headquarters.

The speed is so fast that it faintly breaks through its own limit. Sure enough, fear is the best way to drive people to become stronger.

He tried his best to rush back to the Navy headquarters, and walked to the place where Roach's military rank was promoted. He tried his best to be careful along the way, for fear of accidentally bumping into Garp or Bogart.

The one who received Roach was a young female navy. The well-fitting military uniform would undoubtedly highlight her gracefulness. With light makeup on her face and short dry hair, she looked heroic.

"May I ask why you came here?" The female navy showed a gentle smile.

Roach looked left and right, and when he saw no one around, he leaned his face over, handed over the order in his arms, and said softly, "I'm here to raise my rank."

After the woman received the order, she couldn't help being surprised: "Is this an order to promote the rank of the general?"

"Hush!" Roach was a little annoyed, he put his hand over his mouth and made a silent gesture.

Seeing that the woman's expression became extremely strange, Roach quickly added: "Well, this is a secret mission, so don't say anything, you know?"

The woman nodded, and under Luo Qi's urging, completed a series of procedures, and finally handed over the uniform representing the corporal leader to him.

Although Luo Qi looked eccentric, but he was handsome, and he was favored by the general. The woman couldn't help but feel a little moved. Just about to introduce herself, she saw the navy soldier in front of her, moving from her at an astonishing speed. It disappeared in front of my eyes, as if encountering a ghost.

Finding an unoccupied corner, Roach hesitated, and changed into the captain's navy uniform. After all, he had to use this identity to lead the ship.

However, he deliberately lowered the brim of his hat so that he would not be able to recognize himself even if he was not familiar with him.

Compared with the uniforms of the recruits, Roach now wears this one more imposingly. Following Garp's example and putting the coat on his body, it does look a little majestic.

After casually finding a navy soldier he didn't know and asking for directions, Roach walked towards the dock.

And two familiar figures were cleaning the ground in the corridor not far away.

Kebi froze in place, frowning and looking at Roach's back suspiciously.

Bellumebo on the side stretched out his hand and pushed him before he could react.

"What's the matter, there are still a lot of sundries to do, hurry up and go to rest, do you need special training at night?"

Kebi touched the back of his head, nodded and said, "Belumeb, does that figure look a bit like Roach just now?"

Bellumebo patted his head and replied: "What are you thinking? That man's military rank is at least corporal commander. How long has it been since Luo Qi left? How could he be promoted from second-class soldier to corporal commander?"

"That's right, I must have read it wrong." Kebi smiled a little embarrassedly.

"But I don't know where Roach has gone, and Commander Bogart didn't say anything. It must be because of the bright future. Maybe we will have to salute him when we see him in the future." Bellumebo said enviously.

Kebi said resolutely: "There is nothing to sigh about, Beru Meber, we must hurry up, and don't be left behind too much."

Looking at his friend who had rekindled his fighting spirit, Bellumebo couldn't help but patted his forehead helplessly.
