My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

In the past, there was only one way to enter the Grand Line, and that was across the Upside Down Mountain.

But since the emergence of Hailoushi warship technology, the navy has been able to safely pass through the windless zone, but this kind of warship is only used by the headquarters.

Annan and Esdeath met with the warships from their headquarters who came to pick them up at a naval base called "Shuangyan Island", and then headed straight into the windless zone from the South China Sea to the Grand Route.

After sailing for a while, we finally arrived at the Navy Headquarters.

"Arrived at Marineland, where the Navy Headquarters is located."

Annan got off the port and glanced around:

"So beautiful, Malinfando!"

"Don't be too excited, Annan." Esdeath signed the approval document and handed it to the navy responsible for transporting him.

"Let your belongings be placed in the Navy's temporary storage area first." The Navy saluted Esdeath and turned to board the ship.

Esdeath walked to Annan and looked around.

"This is the headquarters." Esdeath said excitedly, "It is said that only the 'super elite group' in the navy can enter the organization. You will surely meet many powerful colleagues here!"

"Don't get too excited, Esdeath." Annan pulled Esdeath away from the port, "Go and report first."

Reception desk of the headquarters training camp.

"Barrust Esdeath, Major of our headquarters."

"August Annan, Major of the headquarters."

The naval officer took a look at the document and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that you two are already majors at this headquarters at such a young age. You're really amazing."

"But I'm really sorry. This naval training camp is almost over, and you won't be able to improve too much now."

"It doesn't matter, we didn't catch up after all." Annan said.

In the headquarters, the admiral is considered to be the backbone. No matter how big the background is, he must have accumulated solid military achievements. Otherwise, you won’t be able to convince the public.

Even if Annan and Esdeath don't participate in the training camp, they can still serve as base commanders when they return to the Sihai branch.

"Then I will help you arrange it for the next period." The officer said.

It was dinner time, so the two of them went to the cafeteria to grab two meals and chat while eating.

"It will take two months until the next training camp opens. Are we just waiting here? This seafood soup tastes good. Try it." Esdeath said

Annan took a spoonful of soup and said, "One thing is true and the other is true. Go back to the school grounds to find someone who knows the six moves and learn the six moves from him."

The six moves were originally used by CP, a secret organization of the world government. Later, they gradually became popular, and the elites of the Navy basically knew a few of them.

Shave, Paper Painting, Moon Step, Lan Kou, Finger Gun and Iron Block.

In addition to Iron Block, several other Annans want to learn.

If you want to learn the Six Styles, you must pass the training camp selection and enter the navy's elite training class.

But Annan doesn’t really want to go to the current elite training class. It’s not a special reason, it’s just that the efforts and gains are not proportional.

On the way here, I learned from the newspaper that Zefa had formed a "pirate guerrilla group" and no longer taught the navy. Although the headquarters refuted the rumor, you can't deceive others, but you can't deceive me, Annan.

For Annan, without Zefa's elite training class, it is like a bag of Lay's potato chips. It looks like a big bag, but there is not much useful information at all.

"Let's settle down in the headquarters first. I probably won't be able to leave here in the past few months."

With the exception of the Navy Headquarters, most of the buildings in Marineland belong to Navy families. The reason is still because of Zefa.

Annan decided to buy a suite here.

I don't know if it's the influence of his previous life or something else, but Annan is very interested in buying a house.

Besides, the houses here are also cheap.

In the previous area under the jurisdiction of Branch 24, Annan bought him and Esdeath a villa together in the most prosperous Maple Leaf Town, but they usually went on cruises and lived and ate on the navy ship. Even if he took a vacation, it would be for sparring tours and the like. He basically never stayed in the villa because Esdeath had laughed at him for a long time.

However, people's dreams will never stop!

You still have to buy it.

After arriving at the headquarters, Annan naturally wanted to buy a house.

"I don't object." Esdeath held an ice cream cone in her hand, "But do you have enough money?"

"It's definitely not enough." Annan stretched out his hand and said, "Lend me some Baileys."

"Hmm..." Esdeath took a bite of the ice cream, "So direct? Show some sincerity."

Annan thought about it briefly. "There's nothing that can be pledged. The village official can't pledge it to you..."

Esdeath looked at Annan with a playful expression.

"How about this, you give me the money, and then I rent the house I bought to you, and I give you a 20% discount on the rent."

Annan looked at Esdeath, who had a dark look on his face.

"Why do you have such an expression? How about... 60% off?"

"Forget it." Esdeath sighed.

"I'll lend you the money, but I own the house. Also, take all our belongings with us."

The two parted at the entrance of the navy mess hall.

Annan was very happy when he got Bailey.

Who does the house belong to? It doesn't matter, buy a bigger one, Esdeath won't let me live in it anyway. Besides, buying a house in Marineland is now a guaranteed profit-making business.

Esdeath watched Annan walking towards the office in a hurry.

"See if I can give you a place to live in the future and let you be clever." Esdeath thought to herself, "But where should I go for a stroll next?"

"Have you heard? The internship ship from the elite training camp is back."

"I know. I heard that one of them defeated a big pirate with a bounty of 200 million."

"It's amazing. You are truly worthy of being an elite of the Navy!"

Two naval lieutenants coming out of the mess hall smiled and walked past Esdeath.

Esdeath's eyes lit up and she stretched out her hand to stop him.

"The elites you mentioned, where are they?"

At this time, Annan had already completed the house.

I have to say that the efficiency of our headquarters is very high. As soon as we pay the front fee, we will check in immediately.

Annan stood at the door of the house and waved goodbye to the staff.

"Having your own house is half the battle in life!" Annan said to himself.

"I can't believe there are people who think the same thing as me."

The voice of a middle-aged man appeared in my ear.

"As a sea man, no matter where you are, you must have a warm house of your own."

Annan turned around and found that the speaker was a two-meter-tall man.

Seeing Annan looking over, the big man grinned, showing his white teeth, and raised his right hand.

"I didn't expect that this little brother is also a member of the same group. My name is Kaz Brand. What do you call me?"

"August Annan." Annan also raised his right hand.

The two gave a tacit high-five.

"My close friend!"

"A close friend!"

"I didn't expect to meet someone like me in this headquarters." Annan handed Brand a cigarette.

Brand took it and lit the cigarette.

"Thank you. But I'm ashamed to say that although I said that men should have a house, I don't have one yet." Brand pointed to the house behind him. The owner of this house is my lover.

As he spoke, Brand took out a photo and said, "Look, this is my lover, this is my daughter."

"Wow, brother, your life is complete now." Annan smoked a cigarette. "Actually, what I just said is wrong. The house behind me does not belong to me. It belongs to my partner."

"So what?" Brand took a deep breath. "As long as the dream in your heart never dies, it will come true one day!!"

Brand patted Annan's shoulder hard.

"You're right, brother. People's dreams will never end!!!" Annan said loudly.

"Brother, how about we go have a drink now."

"I'm afraid not. I have to go to the school grounds to do something."

"Isn't this a coincidence? I also want to go to the school grounds."

"Let's go together!"

After that, the two of them walked to the school ground arm in arm.

They were chatting and laughing along the way, just as they were about to arrive at the school ground.

Annan noticed something was wrong.

Why are everyone nearby staring wide-eyed? Why is it so cold all of a sudden?

In doubt, Annan raised his head and looked forward, stunned.

I saw Esdeath sitting on a pile of people with her feet up, holding her chin in one hand.

Seeing Annan coming, a smile appeared on his lips. He shook his head of blue hair, pressed the brim of his hat with his hand, and walked towards Annan with cold steps.

"Da da da……"

Esdeath's high heels stepped on the ground, and the crisp sound gradually came closer. A white finger pointed lightly at Annan, and the cigarette in Annan's mouth was frozen to pieces.

"Are these the elites of this training camp?" Esdeath pointed at the navy that she had knocked unconscious and stacked on top of each other.

"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed."

Annan spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth and said, "This is too messy."

"Yeah." Brand said, "This is too nonsense."

"That's right, why are they beating you up in a group? Isn't this bullying an honest person?" Annan pointed at the pile of people stacking up and said angrily,

"Where is the justice? Where is the people's hearts? Where are your instructors?"

"What did the instructor teach you!"

Brand patted Annan.

"Brother, what's wrong? This fact is so irritating. So many people bully one person..."

"What?" Brand pointed at himself.

"I am the instructor."

For a moment, the school grounds were eerily quiet, and a few crows seemed to fly past in the sky.

Just when the scene was very awkward, a yellow light suddenly flashed, and a figure fell on the ground, breaking the silence.

"Admiral Kizaru!" All the marines present shouted.

"Moxi Moxi..."

Kizaru didn't say anything to the people at the scene, but turned on the phone bug on his wrist.

"Moxi Moxi, this is Kizaru... Teacher Zefa, can you hear me?"

"Huh? That's strange. Why is there no sound?"

Kizaru stared at the phone bug on his wrist with a strange expression.

"never mind."

Kizaru scratched his head, looked at Esdeath and Annan, and pouted:

"Young people today are so scary."

"Although it is a normal competition between navies, you have really made too much noise in the headquarters. What should we do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru disappeared from the place and appeared behind Esdeath.

"Two little guys, have you ever been kicked by light?"
