Uncle B of the pirate is invincible

Chapter 58 The Colonel's Evaluation

"That day? It seems that the key point of why he is still a colonel is what happened that day." When Burt felt excited about the colonel's experience, he also keenly discovered the unfinished meaning of the colonel's words. Curious.

But what disappointed him was that the colonel didn't say what happened that day, but asked him, "Bert, what is your purpose for joining the navy?"

"My purpose?" The Colonel's words really stopped Bert.

The main reason for him joining the navy was that Guy wanted to join the navy. He was not at ease so he followed along. The secondary reason was that after getting Chaldea, his ambition was a little bit around the corner. He thought that with this strength, he might be able to become an officer. , It's also prestige, and the salary of the navy is also very high, so I joined the army.It’s impossible to say that he has any lofty ambitions. Even if Guy didn’t make a fuss about going to the great route, Bert wouldn’t be able to get up to leave the East China Sea. The navy, or do something else on his own, but as an admiral, he never thought about it, and he retreated when he thought of the chicken, ape, and dog.After all, he is essentially a semi-nerd who likes to be safe and sound. As long as he has a mobile phone and is not hungry, he will be fine.Of course, since he traveled to this world, he still had the dream of becoming the One Piece, but a dream is a dream after all. In the face of real life, he changed to other dreams within a few months.

"I can't say that I am in the navy just to take care of my younger brother and work part-time. That would be too shameful." Bert, who had just heard about the colonel's ambitions, could not tell his true purpose now.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say that his target was the admiral, but he didn't say anything. Burt sighed helplessly in his heart: "Oh, my personality is still so awkward. I usually tell lies, but it's just face to face. I'm a very sincere person, but I can't say anything."

Burt, who couldn't tell lies to the colonel, had to tell the truth: "I don't have such lofty ambitions as you, sir. I just wanted to take care of my brother Guy and joined the army with him."

Colonel Byrne raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with some uncertainty: "Didn't you volunteer to join the army?"

"Yes. I came together because Guy said that he wanted to be in the navy. I never thought about being in the navy." Bert said very honestly. He really didn't think about being in the navy before Guy asked to join Navy, but considered becoming a pirate.After all, after 20 years of pursuing his career, the idea that the navy is the villain and the running dog of the Tianlong people has been deeply ingrained.

"No wonder he has been unknown for a long time." Burt's words solved Colonel Byrne's biggest doubt, how could such a strong guy be just an unknown corporal until now.You know, among the people the colonel has met, he has the strength to defeat tens of thousands of pirates, but never shows it, and he is still a soldier at ease. He has never seen it.This was also the biggest reason why he began to doubt Bert. Now, because of Bert's character, he answered his question honestly, which inadvertently reassured him completely.

"This Bert is an ordinary young man with no ambitions. He was worried about his younger brother, so he joined the army with him. In the navy, because he had no desire to be promoted, he never showed his extraordinaryness. Until this battle, in order to protect his relatives and homeland, he did not Showed your real skills. Finally connected everything together! Hahaha, it’s really interesting, if this is the case, I want you to go to the center of the stage.” The colonel, who felt that he had seen everything through, didn’t think it was because Burt had a chest. Dazhi's answer was not happy, but on the contrary, he strengthened his idea just now, and pushed the young man to a higher position.

"To deal with this kind of unambitious young man, we need to make him confused first, and then illuminate the direction!" The colonel was thinking of a strategy to push the unambitious guy in front of him, and he was a little ashamed to tell the truth. Bert comforted: "Bert, there is no need to be embarrassed. It is not only to be a general to be a good navy. On the contrary, I think your purpose of joining the army for your brother is very good. Protecting your family is justice. You joined the navy to implement justice. Isn't it great!"

"Really? I thought you would look down on me." Burt was a little excited when he heard that his purpose was recognized by the colonel, even if he was not easily emotional because of his mental age.

Colonel Byrne nodded in affirmation: "Of course, this is a very correct purpose, much better than my purpose of joining the army."

"Pfft." Burt heard the colonel finish, remembering that he did say that the purpose of joining the army at the beginning was to think that the officer's uniform was very prestigious, and he was just a bratty brat, so he couldn't help laughing for a moment.

After laughing, Burt quickly covered his mouth tightly, and finally suppressed the urge to laugh, and apologized to Colonel Byrne in embarrassment: "Sorry sir, I didn't mean it."

Colonel Byrne waved his hand, and said indifferently: "It is indeed a ridiculous reason. Every time I mention it to others, I will be laughed at. I am used to it. (Anyway, everyone said that Marshal Kong has long been used to it)" said The colonel's face suddenly became serious, and he said to Bert in a deep voice: "Burt, the reason why you joined the navy in the first place is not important, what really matters is the justice you found after becoming a navy. I think you have heard I am cruel to pirates because I firmly believe that the existence of pirates is evil, so it is my justice to destroy pirates without mercy, and everything I do is to carry out this justice to the end. Burt, you are very Strong, I can't even see your back at your age, with such power, more than a year in the navy, and experienced the battle from the execution of Goldo Roger to today, Bert, what is the justice you found ?”

"Justice?" Burt chewed on this simple term, feeling at a loss.This flag held high by the world's largest armed organization in the world of One Piece was completely scoffed at before he came here.He used to firmly believe that justice is another way of expressing interests. Everyone, every organization, every nation, and every country has their own interests, and the righteousness of safeguarding their own interests is justice, and only things that conform to their own interests are justice.Whether it is good or evil, no matter how cruel the actions are in their own eyes, and what terrible consequences they have caused, as long as their own interests are safeguarded, then there is no doubt that they are just.And the plot he saw from the comics, no matter whether it is the demon-slaying order to exterminate O'Hara, or the unscrupulous methods of the top battle, it is just that the navy simply safeguards the interests of the World Government organization, which has nothing to do with the original meaning of the word justice detached.So even if Burt joins the navy, although he doesn't show it, he is actually not interested in the justice that those officers say. It is precisely because of this that when dealing with others, he can also shout the slogan of justice without any burden on his heart. , because that's really worthless.

"Justice, you can usually say it casually, but now it feels so heavy!" Burt couldn't answer the colonel's question.He really doesn't know his justice, or more accurately, he's not sure what his beliefs really are!
Burt was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth in confusion, "Colonel, I can't answer your question. The word justice is too heavy for me now, and I'm not ready to say it out loud."

The corner of Colonel Byrne's mouth curled up, showing a fleeting smile, and then he continued to say to Bert in a deep voice as if nothing happened: "Bert, go to the great route! You have the qualifications that are one in a million, and sooner or later You will get a much stronger power than now. And such a powerful power without the guidance of justice will only be a disaster for yourself and the world. And in the center of the world, the great route, the headquarters of the navy, Marlin Vandor, you will Meet all kinds of interesting people, experience all kinds of hardships, see all kinds of strange countries, and you will find 'justice' there!"

Hearing Colonel Byrne's words of admiration and expectations for him, Bert was about to blurt out his promise as soon as his brain got hot, but reason overcame his impulse at the last moment, and he forcibly held back and did not directly agree to the other party.Although he knew that since he said such a thing as a colonel, it would be easy to do it. This is a great opportunity for many navies.It's just that his purpose is different. If you don't go with Guy, the great route will not mean much to Burt now. He is not the kind of person who forgets everything when he mentions adventure.So I can only apologize to the colonel and say: "Sorry, sir, I haven't considered going to the great route now."

"I really don't have the impulse of a young man! It seems that his younger brother is the key to making him move forward." Colonel Byrne turned his mind around, and then smiled and said to Burt: "It doesn't matter. Bo Special, it is a good habit to think clearly about things. However, I always firmly believe that you will definitely go to the great route."

"Thank you for your understanding. If the opportunity is right, I will definitely tell you to go to the great route." Burt told himself so much to the strict Colonel Byrne, and he could still tolerate his lack of progress. gratitude.

"Colonel, the battlefield has been cleaned up, our wounded and pirate prisoners have been sent back to the base, and the remains of the dead and the pirates killed have also been cleaned up, you see?" Second Lieutenant Mir ran over to report to the colonel.

It turned out that while Burt was talking with Colonel Byrne, the follow-up reinforcements also arrived, but were stopped by the second lieutenant not to disturb the colonel, and went directly to the battlefield to clean up, which greatly accelerated the speed.

"It's finished? It's been so long." The colonel pondered for a while, and then said to Burt: "Corporal Burt, think about what I told you today. Now that the matter here is over, let's send these comrades off together." go home."

"Yes! Sir, I'm going to help too." Burt saluted the colonel respectfully.Seeing the colonel nodding his head, he turned around and went to help the field.

Second Lieutenant Mill next to him noticed that the colonel seemed to be still paying attention to Bert who had left, so he asked curiously: "Colonel, what kind of person is the monster sea soldier that this pirate is talking about?"

"He is a man who might become famous all over the world!"
