Dragon Slayer of Pirate World

Haiyuan calendar 1512, November 6th.

"dong dong dong"

"drink"

"what"

"Hey"

The exciting drumbeats resounded throughout the 16th Naval Branch Base.

The commander, Colonel Mouse, who was disturbed by the sound of drums and was taking a break, was standing in front of the window of his office, gazing condescendingly at the training ground not far away.

He has been working in this base for many years. After years of hard work, this branch has already become his back garden. However, in the past three months, he has gradually felt that he is losing control of the base bit by bit. control.

Of course he knew that the reason lay with the new Lieutenant Colonel Leiter, but he was a little helpless.

The opponent's advantage is too great, and their strength is not at the same level at all. In this world where strength is paramount, even if Mouse has a higher position, he is still a helpless scum in front of Leiter.

These times are terrible, but at least this is not bad:

As long as you are really strong enough, no one will dare to sit on your head and pee

In three months, the atmosphere of this base seemed to have changed a lot.

The soldiers at the grassroots level have obviously become more diligent in training, and are much less addicted to drinking and gambling. Even the middle-level officers who used to be inseparable from rats now prefer to follow Leiter on missions.

The surrounding waters are calmer than ever before. Since Leiter took office, Branch 16 has wiped out a total of 21 pirate groups, with a total bounty of 8500 million.

Although Leiter got most of the credit, as the first officer of the branch, Mouse was certainly not indifferent to these achievements. Every time he reported to his superiors, his name was always written at the front.

Perhaps in the near future, Mouse's military rank will be promoted, and he may also be transferred to a richer and more prosperous sea area, and of course the power in his hands will be greater.

All this is thanks to that young man.

Thinking of this, Mouse felt a little more relaxed, and when he looked into the distance, he didn't feel too dissatisfied.

"Boom"

With the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of drums suddenly stopped, and two vines slowly separated the two figures who were locked in a stalemate in the training ground.

"So far"

This is a competition involving the entire base. It is of course Leiter's idea. The purpose is to select talents from the grassroots soldiers below the lieutenant level. The winning champion can be promoted to a warrant officer. Those who perform exceptionally well can even directly become a second lieutenant. , officially enter the ranks of admiral, and the rest of the second to No. 4 can also receive corresponding promotions.

As the initiator, Leiter took on the role of referee and host. Two other lieutenant colonels, Dennis and Claire, also participated as scorers.

"Why end it so I can win right away"

The slightly shorter soldier on the stage was a little unwilling to give in. In the competition just now, he had a slight upper hand. If Leiter hadn't stopped him, he would have probably completely defeated his opponent after a while, and then became The ultimate winner.

But Leiter doesn't think so, because this soldier's speed and attack are more powerful, but the other soldier's body is stronger, his ability to resist blows is stronger, and his physical fitness and endurance are also better. If there is another stalemate, maybe The latter is the more dominant side.

Leiter didn't explain anything to them, but asked coldly with his hands behind his back:

"Soldiers, state your names."

Perhaps it was because he had killed too many pirates in three months, and Lei Te's body was stained with a lot of blood. Although he only asked questions quietly, he already had an aura of calmness and authority.

The two young sailors immediately put aside their previous emotions, stamped their feet, stood at attention, and then saluted vigorously:

"Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel Leiter, this is Sergeant Michael Owen"

"Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel, I am Corporal Steven Gerrard"

Leiter nodded:

"I already know your strength. Now I have another question. Soon, I will formally form an elite fleet to capture the most vicious pirate in the entire East China Sea. Do you have the courage to come with me?"

The two young sailors answered him in unison without any hesitation:

"Under justice, never fear"

Leiter looked at these two young faces, their clear eyes full of excitement and excitement.

He finally laughed:

"Very good, you can wait for the appointment letter from the base."

"Forge gangs and win people's hearts?"

The mouse colonel in front of the window stretched out his hand and stroked his mouse-like beard, his eyes a little confused:

"This guy is so dedicated, does he really want to work in the East China Sea for a long time?"

A person with a devil fruit will definitely not be willing to remain silent. What's the point if he just stays in the East China Sea?

"Lieutenant Colonel, Second Lieutenant Owen and Warrant Officer Gerald are here to report to you."

The day after the contest, Leiter, who was processing documents in the office, received a report from orderly Mais.

He nodded, and the two young men who had just been promoted yesterday walked in from behind the door, followed by a military salute.

Leiter waved his hand:

"No need to be formal, sit down and talk."

"Yes"

The two of them responded in unison, and then carefully moved half of their buttocks on the chair.

Meis served tea for them, then quietly exited, closed the door, and left the space for the three of them.

"Are your homes nearby?"

Leiter took a sip of tea and started the conversation with a light question.

Both of them nodded. In this era, although pirates can sail around the world, most civilians find it difficult to stray too far from home.

"Perhaps the next question is a bit too serious, but I still want to ask it, and I want to hear your answer."

Leiter rubbed the cup in his hand and said slowly:

"Although in everyone's impression, the East China Sea has always been the calmest and most secure place, but do you think this is really the case?"

"how is this possible"

Owen almost sneered:

"The East China Sea is the hometown of Pirate King Roger The navy is still the weakest fish-man in the world: Aaron, Black Cat, Creek, Lajuba, and Bucky. These pirate groups may not be worth mentioning in the Grand Line, but almost all of them can run rampant in the East China Sea."

Leiter was a little surprised. This surprise was not directed at his answer, but at the other party's sudden change of attitude and style.

But he felt relieved immediately. In yesterday's arena, he had already seen that Owen's temperament was somewhat confident and impulsive. Otherwise, he would not have been able to express his dissatisfaction directly after he stopped the game.

Compared to Irving, the other young man was slightly silent.

Gerald frowned, and a few forehead lines were faintly revealed on his eyebrows:

"Owen is right. The calmness in the East China Sea is only superficial. Just like the Fishman Pirates, if the Lieutenant Colonel hadn't defeated them in time, no one knows how many civilians they would have continued to harm."

Owen suddenly interjected:

"Lieutenant Colonel, Gerald and I's hometown was also one of the villages that was once ruled by fishmen."

Leiter raised his eyebrows and asked quickly:

"Where is your hometown? Is your family safe?"

Gerald's expression remained calm:

"We are all Merseysiders. Thanks to the Lieutenant Colonel, that group of pirates had to retreat before they could do any evil in my hometown. Before that, I had hoped that the navy could save my hometown, but Colonel Mouse sent out a fleet of 800 people, but the entire army was wiped out in less than an hour. The leader, Lieutenant Colonel Pardo, also died heroically. We can only watch our hometown being occupied by pirates, but there is nothing we can do."

Leiter sighed and changed the topic in a positive direction:

"We are lucky to be able to survive in this era of great pirates. Gerrard, and Owen, you all have good potential. As long as you use it properly, you will definitely be able to leave your own mark in this era. , but in this dangerous era, one person may seem weak and isolated, so we all need companions, don’t we?”

He also spoke to himself, because he didn't want to be a lone traveler like Hawkeye. Even the Yonko, who was stronger than Kaido, Red Hair, White Beard, and Big Mom, had to gather a large number of outstanding companions or subordinates in order to succeed. Better to dominate the world, and as powerful as a marshal or general, there is no way one person can kill the universe in seconds.

This world is a world where personal strength is paramount. As long as one is strong enough, a person can achieve great achievements.

One person may be able to disrupt the situation and destroy the world, but if you want to truly dominate the world or even completely subvert the world, just one person is definitely not enough.

If you want to achieve your dreams, you must take this first step.
