This is great equipment, but I don't know how it will perform in actual combat.
Besides, he can't be dancing with knives and guns in his dorm tonight, can he? It probably isn't to scare his friends over there.
The night was quiet, and the next morning, the troop transport ship successfully docked at the port of the 16th Flotilla of the East China Sea Navy.
“You brat, you’ve arrived there too. Go quickly and remember what I taught you. I’m on vacation in the East China Sea in the meantime. I’ll come back to see you when I get back.”
Karp kicked Baili Xiao off the ship and said threateningly, "What do you mean by coming to see him? Are you here to check on his actions?!"
Willie had white eyes and couldn't be bothered to argue with this old thing.
In other words, in order to get him promoted to level three within two days, Baili Xiao only gave him a verbal warning for the time being.
"Let's go, let's go. It goes without saying."
Bai Lixiao waved to Garp, and Garp waved back. Only Bai Lixiao himself arrived at the "16th Marine Branch," where the transport ship dropped him off and flew away without stopping.
As the transport ship sailed away, Baili Xiao took a deep breath.
With the departure of the troop transport ship, a new chapter in his life began.
I wonder how that guy among the smokers is doing now.
Baili Xiao only remembered Smoker after arriving in the East Sea. A full day had passed since Smoker disembarked. After all, Loguetown was the entrance to the entire East Sea, and it was the first town they arrived at.
"I think it has already begun. Were you punished for disobeying orders?"
Willie laughed. Given Smoker's personality, even if Garp talked him out of it for a whole day, it wouldn't change anything. He respected Garp as a "naval hero," but a single word from Garp wouldn't sway him.
"Hello, is this Sergeant Vilencrow?" A woman's voice stopped Baili Xiao as he thought of his lost student life. The voice was bold.
Just by listening to her voice, one can tell that she must be a woman of great spirit, and indeed she is.
Baili Xiao looked around. It was a slender woman with deep red hair and short sideburns.
"Wow, Mr. Belmy? You've become a second lieutenant?"
The newcomer, a cigarette dangling from his lips, exuded a dashing air. He wore a dark blue uniform and a cloak-like overcoat. It's worth noting that not everyone could wear a dark blue cloak-like overcoat; at least junior officers were entitled to it.
"Is it really you?! Baili Xiao. I thought it was just a coincidence of names!"
Bellemere was also surprised to see Baili Xiao turn around.
When did you leave Coco West Village?
On their way back to the branch base, Belmir and Baili Xiao chatted as they walked.
"After you left your hometown, I left soon after as well."
Bai Lixiao replied that Belmir was not surprised to become a naval officer. He knew Belmir would become a naval officer even when he was still in Cocoyasi Village.
But he didn't know that Belmir was still a junior officer. He thought Belmir was just a Marine. He seemed to look down on Belmir.
"Has it been almost five years? I never imagined that Baili Xiao, who used to fight everywhere, would become an excellent Marine. Time really is a strange thing."
Belmir is very emotional. She didn't see Baili Xiao when she last returned to West Village.
The villagers said he had gone to sea and hadn't sent any messages back home. I want to know if he's still alive.
“You’re even talking about me, Sister Belmir. It’s obvious you’re a notorious bad girl. I probably wouldn’t be this naughty if you didn’t guide me.”
Of course, Baili Xiao denied that it was Belmir's fault.
After all, he had followed the mischievous Belmir and done some "bad things" in the village for a while.
"Haha~! Don't bring up the past. Nobody knows, right?"
Belle opened her mouth and laughed heartily. Her mouth was open as she laughed, her eyes and eyebrows curving.
She was not only ugly, but also very charming and captivating.
The future Nami, and Belmir's smile.
Of course, Belmir is still in the Navy. She certainly hasn't adopted Nami and Nokia yet, but after estimating the timeline, Vivian feels it's very close.
Chapter 0346 Pressure Response
"Bai Lixiao, you may not know this, but when I go back to the village, sometimes the villagers are so surprised when they see my clothes and that I have become an excellent naval officer."
Mel laughed heartily and shared her experience with Vivian. The villagers expected to be just as surprised as they were to see Vivian return.
"That's natural. A naughty kid who hates dogs grows up to be a navy officer. They'll be quite surprised. At first, you might think you'll become a pirate."
Baili Xiao smiled when he thought about the villagers' expressions when he returned. In this era, the probability of someone becoming a pirate at sea was higher than the probability of becoming a naval officer.
In One Piece, Gol D. Roger roared before his death, "I wonder how many people are greedy."
Men like William and Bemir, whom the villagers had always worried about since childhood, must have been excellent "pirates" in the eyes of ordinary villagers. Not killing them in their cradle was a concern for their hometown.
"Work hard, and when you've achieved something, I'll take you home to visit me."
Belmir patted Baili Xiao on the shoulder. She was 1.86 meters tall. Patting Baili Xiao on the shoulder was easy.
"By the way, your child is growing so fast. Is he still developing? I wonder how far this will go next."
He patted Baili Xiao on the shoulder and sighed again. The child she had conflicts with back then is now taller than her.
In the world of dresses, height is a very important number.
The average height of the strong is over 2 to 3 meters, even 7 or 8 meters. Moreover, those people are not giants, but giants taller than themselves.
Of course, the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Luffy, are of average height, but they are named after others on the sea.
In this world, height is sometimes a symbol of strength. Average height may not mean much, but someone with unusual height is very likely to be quite powerful.
"It doesn't need to be too expensive."
Although Baili Xiao herself doesn't want to grow to three or four meters, I think her current height is enough.
"Haha~ This isn't something you can decide~"
Belmir laughed and joked. She was a girl who laughed a lot.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter what happened or what difficulties she faced, she could never wipe the smile off her face.
They joined the "16th Naval Detachment" with smiles on their faces. This is an ordinary detachment of the East China Sea Navy.
All facilities are complete, and the soldiers are in good spirits.
While traveling with Merlin, the naval soldiers they encounter along the way warmly greet Belmir.
They also looked at Baili Xiao with curiosity. This person seemed to be very close to Captain Belmir.
He led Merlin into the Marine Corps branch office building.
At that moment, the colonel of the 16th Naval Division was holding a meeting in the conference room. All the officers of the division were there, with cloaks and coats provided.
"The intern sergeant, Baili Xiao? Klo, has been brought in, and his identity has been confirmed according to the report."
Bellemere knocked on the door and went in, first reporting to the branch colonel.
“Okay, please speak, Belmir.”
The colonel nodded and smiled gently at Belmir.
This handsome Colonel Zhi looks very upright, but his beard is a bit brittle, giving him a somewhat颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of listlessness, apathy, or even a touch of decadence) appearance.
"Sergeant Baili Xiao Keluo, is that right? I'm sorry, you're not available right now."
We plan to eradicate the pirates near Texas Village. I might not have time to familiarize you with your job these next few days. You'll only be satisfied after you've mastered the tricks and used the badger as a cover.
A respectable, yet decadent-looking, middle-aged branch colonel looked at Baili Xiao as he spoke to him, noting that the colonel's voice sounded somewhat lazy.
"Oh, by the way, just call me Colonel Kyle."
0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········
Colonel Carey added that his meaning was clear: Baili Xiao would not be included in this mission.
"Colonel Cabbage, it's alright. I can go with you."
Baili Xiao laughed, completely oblivious to his own feelings; he seemed not even to have heard that Colonel Kale didn't want to take him.
"Tsk, taking you there is too much trouble. If you don't want to cause trouble, just stay put."
This is not child's play. I don't have the courage to protect you on the battlefield.
Sure enough, Colonel Kale became a little impatient when he saw that Baili Xiao was not there, and he spoke more bluntly.
"Colonel Kale, I'm not some naive, bloodless person. You just need to put me in the combat ranks; you don't need to give me a specific position. I'm capable of fighting."
.... .... 0
Colonel Kale spoke frankly, and Baili Xiao didn't beat around the bush with him.
He knew perfectly well what Colonel Kale was thinking, but he simply made him a "college student soldier."
Perhaps this is why the "16th Naval Division" has remained unknown. Willy is the second "Naval Academy graduate" to come here; the previous "commander" had already been killed in battle.
"Are the kids who graduated from your naval academy really this stubborn?"
Colonel Kale seemed somewhat powerless. He could understand the boys' eagerness to prove themselves, but sometimes their steps were too big, potentially leading not only to their own downfall but also to their deaths.
"Sergeant William Crowe, please obey orders."
Having learned his lesson from the last incident, Colonel Carey declared this time he would not allow these "new recruits" to rush into battle again, and used his own strength to help.
In his view, these "academy soldiers" were at least well-trained in "obeying orders".
Vili was somewhat speechless. During his two days on the ship and in Kap, the phrase he heard most often was "follow orders," and now hearing these four sentences again, he felt a bit of a "stress reaction."
Chapter 0347 Following the Past
He prepared to defend as a conditioned reflex, even though his defense was ineffective.
"Get out of the car and wander around on your own for a while. I'll have Captain Jamesmyr come to find you later. Then, the captain can work under Belmir."
"Yes."
Willie nodded. He wasn't there. "Hey, cut the bench down. The pastor gave you a Liao Yanmeng Zhuosi first-grade fiber nozzle pen with a bad shape."
If you're bad at writing, you might accidentally become good at lying. Is your φ healthy?
Seeing that Baili Xiao obediently left the meeting room, Colonel Karel continued the combat meeting, but Belmir looked in the direction Baili Xiao had left with some concern.
In her memory, I knew from a young age that Baili Xiao was definitely not someone who would give up halfway.
After leaving the meeting room, Billy began to wander around the base. He walked all over the base and gained a general understanding of it.
