Pirates to the top

In the Kingdom of Attila, Benjamin and Flos finished most of their work. The two people, who had not been idle since they landed ashore yesterday, took off their navy coats and came to a tavern next to the port.

After ordering some pie and rum, the two started talking about their trip.

"Benjamin, I didn't expect you to do a good job. In just one year after graduating from the Naval Academy, you can travel to and from the windless zone, and you are becoming more and more proficient in escort work." Floss looked at the junior in front of him with some relief.

The young man who was called Benjamin was a little embarrassed, but he still said sincerely: "I have to thank my seniors. Without my seniors to teach me this year, I would not have been able to get into the state so quickly without my seniors." At this time, Benjamin was a Lieutenant.

Those who graduate from the Naval Academy will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant, and those who are outstanding will even be awarded the rank of lieutenant or even captain.At that time, Benjamin's grades were only in the middle of the pack among his fellow students, and he was only awarded the rank of second lieutenant when he graduated.

But fortunately, he was assigned a good commander. The man in front of him was Lieutenant Colonel of the Navy Headquarters and Benjamin's direct commander.

To be promoted in the World Government Navy, it is nothing more than background, strength and birth.

The background is easy to understand. There are quite a few lieutenants and colonel officers in the navy now. Their fathers have served in high-level positions in the navy and even the world government. With this kind of relationship, promotion will be easy.

Birth and strength are important ways to rise in the civilian class. Birth here not only refers to necessary work such as review, but also includes your qualifications, the school you graduated from, and whether you have significant performance. Graduating from the Naval Academy is the biggest birth. Advantage.

And strength is crucial. Depending on your background and birth, you can only become a school officer at most, but if you want to be promoted to a general officer, you can't even think about it without excellent strength.

And this is also the most important reason why the world government can extend its time for 800 years and still control this sea and this world.They know exactly who can play in which positions.

The World Government and the Navy tacitly allow high-level people to seek positions for their juniors, but if there is no matching strength in the general line, there is no hope of promotion, especially the generals of the headquarters.

Floss said with emotion: "Benjamin, you don't have to be humble. You were promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant in just one year after graduation. Without your own efforts, it will be useless no matter how much I help you."

While the two were talking, a man wearing a black robe with an unknown animal bone ornament hanging around his neck was holding a thick and exaggerated book and looking for someone to talk to.

"Hello, excuse me for a few minutes, can I tell you about our philosophy of voodoo?" The man was hit by a wall many times, but he still persevered in finding someone to teach him.

"I am an unbeliever, Gungungun." The bearded man pushed the preacher away and avoided him like a plague.

The man who claimed to be a Voodoo cultist was not angry. He just picked up the fallen books from the ground and left the tavern step by step. He may have gone to preach elsewhere.

"I wish I had heard of Voodoo, but I can't remember it clearly." Benjamin looked at it thoughtfully and said.

Flos took a sip of rum and explained to Benjamin: "Then you must have heard of its other name, Voodoo."

"Voodoo" Benjamin was surprised: "It turns out to be this church."

"Voodoo originated in the South China Sea, but was expelled by many countries in the South China Sea. Later they came to the North Sea, but had the same ill-fated fate. Many countries in the North Sea regarded them as evil and harmonious, and banned preaching in their own countries, but later I heard that the previous king of the Tudor Kingdom in the North Sea, Fareyer I, recognized them and allowed them to preach in specific provinces of the Tudor Kingdom."

"Why do so many countries hate Voodoo?" Benjamin didn't quite understand. He observed that the man who just preached did not behave in any extreme way.

Flos continued: "That's because as early as Beihai, the Voodoo Sect has often caused terrorist incidents. The horrifying reanimated corpses and living dead are said to be their masterpieces, and according to the information circulated, the top leaders of the Voodoo Sect often use Hallucinogenic drugs and religious weapons forcibly control believers or allow neutrals to forcibly evolve into believers, which is why they are called voodoo rather than voodoo."

"Although their behavior has somewhat restrained since they came to Beihai, they still make some bad news from time to time."

"Resurrected zombies, living dead." After all, Benjamin was still a rookie, and he really couldn't believe it when he heard what the bard said.

"They really exist"

Flos looked at Benjamin who was like a curious baby and laughed loudly, as if he saw himself when he was young; "Benjamin, this world is very big. There are many incredible things in the Grand Line and the Windless Zone." It happens again and again, and compared to these things, the resurrected corpses and the living dead are nothing."

While the two were talking, the bearded man who had just pushed away the Voodoo cultists complained loudly to his companions: "These Voodoo cult lunatics should be packed up and thrown to the long-toothed fish."

The drinkers on the side also agreed: "I heard that the king of the Tudor Kingdom actually agreed to their missionary work in the Tudor Kingdom. Haha, it will be easy for them in the future."

"The King of Tudor Kingdom is a fool. I think he is also the kind of person who will control your flood after death."

The bearded man wiped the wine stains on his beard and said: "I will never believe in any religion in this life. If I do, I will believe in the Pirate King Gol Roger."

"That's right, Roger is a great hero. How much better than this bullshit voodoo?"

"Long live Roger"

At this time, it was the peak of the Age of Discovery. Countless people chose to go to sea and enter the Great Line because of Roger. In their eyes, Roger was no different than an idol god.

"What kind of hero is Roger?" Benjamin slammed the wine glass on the table.

"What are you talking about, kid?" Not only the bearded man, but also everyone in the tavern looked at the young man with strange expressions.

"Benjamin" Floss wanted to stop Benjamin, but it was obviously too late.

"I said Roger is not a great hero."

"It's because of him that this sea is still stained with blood. It's because of him that so many innocent people have been buried in the sea. It's because of him that so many wives have been separated."

"It's ridiculous that such a person deserves to be crowned king. If I walk around the Red Earth Continent, I can call myself the "Emperor of the Continent"."

"Benjamin, okay, don't say any more." Floss pulled the emotional Benjamin to a chair.After all, Floss was a cunning old man who knew what to say and what not to say in such a mixed place.
