Pirate Flash

Navy Headquarters, Marineford, in the Office of the Warring States Marshal.

Mark stood in front of Seng Guo's desk. Seng Guo stood up and walked to Mark and said: "This early ending also means that you will join the army. However, since you are the only one who can only keep everything simple, I can only hold a party for you here. A simple little enlistment ceremony.”

Mark smiled and said: "What's the point? Ordinary people can't hold an enlistment ceremony in the marshal's office." He said from the side: "Okay, no more gossip, the ceremony officially begins." Zefa and Garp came in carrying a tray, Zefa was carrying the navy uniform, and Garp was carrying the military rank.

Warring States picked up the school uniform and put it on Mark, then put the rank on Mark's shoulders, and said: "Monkey D. Mark, a graduate of the 1514th class of the Naval Academy and the 24th class of cadets under Chief Instructor Zefa, has achieved great results during his time in school. Excellent performance. He arrested or killed hundreds of pirates, including 4 pirates with bounties on them, with a total bounty of 3 million beli. He also defeated his opponents in the communication with the CP organization and is now awarded the military rank of Monkey D. Mark. . In the future, I will enlist in the army and continue to bravely fight, try my best to destroy pirates, and protect the peace of the sea. Salute!" After saying this, both the Warring States and Zefa, who had retreated to the second line, raised their hands to salute Mark, and Mark quickly raised his hand to salute in return.

After both parties saluted, this brief ceremony was over.There are no other rigid requirements for officers at the rank of admiral except to wear a coat. They can wear whatever clothes they want, and few people also wear navy uniforms underneath.Mark was wearing a white suit inside and looked particularly energetic wearing a justice coat.He looked at Mark and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Four years had passed and even Mark had begun to enlist in the army. He was really old.

Afterwards, Warring States handed Mark the information about the bears, and then gave Mark two days to prepare, and then he could set off.The Warring States Period originally wanted to allocate a fleet to Mark, but Mark refused.Having troops is a kind of restraint for him, and he cannot maximize the mobility and flexibility brought by his speed.Warring States thought about Mark's speed and agreed with Mark's thoughts, so he did not impose troops on Mark.

Mark was still in a daze when he came out of the marshal's office. He didn't expect that he would be directly promoted to colonel, crossing several military ranks.When she came to the door, she met Tina. Tina looked at Mark's general uniform and said, "Tina is shocked. Mark, you have graduated, and you are also a colonel!"

Mark nodded with a smile and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect that I would be promoted to colonel directly." Mark suddenly saw the military rank on Tina's shoulder and said with a smile: "Tina, you are just a lieutenant colonel, you have graduated so many years ago. And you don’t show courtesy when you see your superior, it’s rude.”

Tina rolled her eyes and said, "Tina is disdainful. Tina won't talk to you anymore. Tina has to deliver the task now and has other things to do." Mark nodded and said, "That's it, Smog. Where is that guy? I haven’t seen him for a long time. I wonder how he is doing?”

Tina waved her hand and said: "Tina doesn't know what happened to him, but Tina knows that the guy seems to have a problem again. He said some time ago that he would be transferred to the East China Sea. As for where he is now, Tina doesn't know. "Mark shook his head when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Smoker still failed to escape the fate of going to the East China Sea.

Mark waved his hand and walked towards the training camp. Mark looked at the side of the training ground and found that most of the familiar faces from the past had disappeared.When Xiu Zuo saw Mark coming, he walked over and said, "You've graduated too, that's great! You'll be a colonel as soon as you graduate."

Mark asked: "When did Ain and Binz graduate? How are they doing now?"

Xiu Zuo said: "Those two guys graduated half a year ago. They originally wanted to wait to graduate with you, but you continued special training and graduated before they could. Ai Yin is now helping the teacher with some clerical work. , that guy Binz is under Lieutenant General Mole, and should be in the New World now."

Mark said: "It will be difficult to meet again after graduation. Do you know how Derek and Gaspardi are doing?"

Xiu Zuo nodded and said: "Who says it's not the case? Some were transferred to the four seas, some went to the New World, and even those who are still in the Grand Line have gone to different branches. It's really difficult to meet each other. Dre That guy Ke is also on a mission in the New World, but Gaspardi stays at the headquarters, but it seems that he has also gone out to sea to perform a mission recently."

Mark nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go see Ai Yin first, and you can continue your work."

Xiu Zuo said: "Are you leaving now? Now that you're here, why don't you say a word to these juniors? They admire your battle with the CP organization two years ago."

Mark waved his hand and said, "Next time, I have to carry out a mission in two days, and I really don't have time." After saying that, Mark got up and left, heading towards the office area.The surrounding students saw Mark leaving and curiously asked Xiu Zuo: "Who is the instructor? He is a colonel at such a young age."

Xiu Zuo smiled and said: "He is the Monkey D. Mark you have always wanted to meet. He has just returned from the special training to complete the award. He will be a colonel as soon as he graduates." When the students heard this sentence, they exclaimed: "It's really amazing. , he became a colonel as soon as he graduated, and there aren’t many in the history of the Naval Academy.”

Xiu Zuo smiled and said: "Since the reform of the naval cadet system, cadets can be awarded titles based on their performance after graduation. Only Admiral Akainu, Admiral Kizaru, Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Gobucha Dolphin have done it. Mark is the third one after them. Five people." When I heard Mark's name lined up with so many famous people, I felt how powerful this honor was.

In the office area, Ai Yin was sitting behind the desk and looking through several documents. When she heard footsteps, she said, "Just put the new documents on the table next to you. I will send them back after I finish reading them. Mark leaned against the door and said with a smile: "I'm not here to deliver documents."

Ai Yin raised her head when she heard the voice and saw it was Mark. She smiled in surprise and said, "Mark, come back! You didn't notify us when you came back. Come in and sit down. Don't worry about my place being a little messy."

Mark came in and sat on the sofa and said, "I just came back today and was awarded the title in the marshal's office." After hearing this, Ai Yin noticed that Mark was wearing a general's uniform on his back and he had now officially become a navy officer.Ai Yin saw Mark's military rank and said: "I became a colonel as soon as I graduated. You are worthy of being called Mark. I am now a little lieutenant."

Mark smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. As long as you work hard, it's easy to get promoted. But why did you stay here and start a civilian job instead of going to the front line?"

Ai Yin sighed and said: "The teacher's asthma has become more serious, and he still has some vision problems. I can only help him with some clerical work. When someone takes over later, I will return to the front line. And I want to be someone like For someone like Lieutenant General He, civilian work can also help me in the future.”

Ai Yin grinded two cups of coffee and handed one to Mark and said, "Okay, don't talk to me anymore. I remember saying that your special training would take two years to complete. Now it seems like it's still a month away. Why did you come back early?"

Mark took a sip of coffee and said: "Didn't I originally set a task to assess the next King Shichibukai? Now that the task has been advanced, my special training has naturally ended early. I just happened to take this opportunity to come Complete the award and officially graduate.”

"His Majesty Qibukai?" Ai Yin asked, "Is it that guy named Bartholomew Bear?"

Mark nodded and said, "That's right! That's him. Why have you heard of him too?" Ai Yin turned around and pulled out a piece of information from the desk behind him, handed it to Mark and said, "After knowing your mission, I have always paid attention to this convenient information. After analysis, there are three people who are most likely to become the King's Shichibukai, and this guy named Bartholomew Bear is the most likely. This is the information I collected about him. You can also You can take a look. This guy is not a simple guy."

After hearing this, Mark took out a piece of information from his arms and put it on the table, and said: "Marshal Warring States also gave me one piece of information about him. I haven't had time to read it. There happen to be two pieces of information now. Look. Please help me analyze it." When Ai Yin heard this, she rolled her eyes at Mark and said, "As soon as I get back, I'll call someone. I gave you the information for you to analyze by yourself, but this matter turned out to fall on me again. , I wouldn’t have said anything if I had known earlier.”

Mark smiled and said: "He who can do it should work harder." Ai Yin said nothing and looked down at the two documents on the table.
