One Piece: The Magician

The sun was hanging in the sky at noon, and under the warm sunlight, even the Nabalon Fortress, known as the Iron Wall, couldn't help but feel lazy.

After a morning of training, the naval soldiers of G8 Fortress were marching in groups towards the canteen, chatting as they walked.

"Ah, I'm going to starve to death. I'm going to have a big meal later." Recruit A put his hands behind his head.

"Haha, that's right." Another recruit B responded with a smile: "Although our Balong is very remote, in terms of food, it is completely comparable to the Navy Headquarters."

A hearty lunch can replenish the nutrients and energy that naval soldiers need every day. For recruits who have trained all morning, lunch time is a rare time to relax.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something when I heard what you said." Recruit C hit his palm with his hand and said suddenly: "It is said that the chef from the Navy Headquarters will come to G8 Fortress for exchanges. Counting the days, it seems that today is the day."

"Hey"xn

All the recruits were stunned. They all knew very well that this so-called exchange was probably a fierce cooking duel.

"Well, I heard from those who have already had lunch that the quality of today's food has been greatly improved. It seems that a new chef with particularly skillful skills has arrived."

Recruit A hesitated for a moment and continued: "Isn't he the chef from the headquarters?"

"I don't know who won."

"Nonsense, do you think Chef Jessica will lose? She is the wife of Lieutenant General Jonathan."

"Hey, hey, hey, is there any connection between the level of cooking and whose wife it is?"

As they talked, these energetic navy recruits began to have a heated discussion about the results of the cooking competition. Their enthusiastic attitude attracted frequent glances from the surrounding navy.

However, just when they were getting carried away in their discussion, a clear male voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

"Hey, those new recruits in front."

Several people heard the sound and looked back, only to see that the person speaking was a naval officer wearing a navy cloak. Then they all stood at attention like a reflex.

"What are the instructions, Major" xn

After performing a standard naval salute, several recruits said loudly, while secretly sizing up the young "officer" in front of them.

This is a very handsome man, with a few strands of silver hair mixed in his black hair, which looks very fashionable.His skin was fair and delicate, and among his exquisite facial features, a pair of deep black eyes that were as black as ink were particularly eye-catching. Under the gaze of these eyes, these navy recruits felt a great pressure.

Next to the major, there was a cute female marine with short orange hair and a sweet appearance. However, for some reason, this female marine's expression was very strange.At the same time, because the aura of the major next to him was so strong, others subconsciously ignored her, a rare resource in the navy.

Who is this handsome and unwanted officer? Why have I never seen him before? Some people were a little confused. It stands to reason that they should have some impression of such a distinctive-looking naval lieutenant commander.

To be honest, this major doesn't look like a navy man. He looks more like an aristocratic young man wearing a navy cloak. The elegance and nobility that are integrated into his bones must not be faked deliberately.

"You just spoke too loudly." The navy lieutenant commander had no expression on his face, and his tone was terrifyingly calm.

"Although lunch time is indeed a good opportunity to relax, it would be bad if it disturbs others."

"Uh, this." After hearing this, several recruits suddenly looked embarrassed, and then responded loudly:

"Yes, we will definitely pay attention to it in the future."

"kindness."

The lieutenant commander nodded, his eyes swept across the navy in turn, and finally fixed his gaze on Recruit B's collar.

"Really, as a naval soldier, how can you be so unkempt?"

Reaching out to smooth out Recruit B's wrinkled collar, the Major said earnestly: "From the moment you join the Navy, your various performances not only represent you personally. You represent the G8 Fortress, the Navy, and Absolute justice”

"You must always remember your identity, do you understand?"

These navy recruits and the nearby navy were all shocked by the major's actions. After listening to the latter's warning, their hearts were suddenly filled with heat and they involuntarily puffed out their chests.The expression on the orange-haired female marine's face was extremely weird, but no one noticed it at this time.

He is really an approachable and excellent officer. All the naval officers who saw this scene had a great impression of this unfamiliar major, and their previous doubts about his identity disappeared in an instant.

"What you taught me is that I will definitely pay attention to my image." Recruit B's face flushed with excitement when he came back to his senses. He bowed deeply to the major with an extremely enthusiastic expression.

After all, the lieutenant commander will personally help you adjust your collar. This is an honor that ordinary recruits cannot experience.

"very good."

After pondering for a while, the major looked at Recruit A and said calmly: "By the way, I heard what you just said, there is a new chef in the cafeteria today."

"Yes, yes, sir." Recruit A was so nervous that he stuttered. He swallowed and continued: "And it is said that his cooking skills are quite superb."

"Really, that's really worth looking forward to." A strange color flashed in the navy lieutenant commander's dark eyes, and he pretended to mention it casually:

"By the way, do you know what the new chef looks like?"

"I don't know much about this either." Recruit A shook his head.

"That's it." Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, the major didn't feel disappointed at all. He waved his hand gently: "Okay, you all go to eat."

"It's sir." Several recruits saluted again, and then left quickly, and the navy who had been watching just now also withdrew their attention.

When the recruits walked away, the orange-haired female marine who had been silent before let out a long sigh of relief.

"Huh~~ I was really scared to death just now."

Nami patted her already sizable chest with a look of fear on her face. The military uniform she stole from the laundry room didn't fit very well, and it made her have difficulty breathing.

"And Sherlock." The orange-haired female marine looked around cautiously, and then whispered to the naval lieutenant commander beside her:

"Oh my god, do you really think of yourself as a lieutenant colonel? You actually went to educate other navy soldiers with a calm face. You are too deep into the drama, right?"

Pirates pretending to be marines do not carefully lower their sense of existence, but instead go out in a big way to attract people's attention. Such people are either mentally ill or extremely daring.

"You're too deep into the drama. What are you talking about? Sergeant Nami."

The magician dressed as an officer subconsciously tried to push up his glasses, but found that there was nothing on the bridge of his nose, so he had to withdraw his hand angrily.

"When you want to successfully deceive others, you must first successfully deceive yourself, so that you won't reveal any flaws, right?"

"This"

Nami didn't know what to say for a moment, and then she pretended to give a military salute: "Okay, what you're teaching is Major Sherlock. Usopp should really learn from you."

"But weren't you afraid that you would be recognized by those navy soldiers just now? You know you are a prisoner with a bounty on your head."

"You can rest assured of that, Sergeant Nami."

Sherlock pointed at his eyes, smiled slightly and said, "And in order not to be easily recognized by others, I even took off my glasses."

The orange-haired female marine looked confused.

Is he admitting in disguise that his glasses are actually his true form?

Nami complained helplessly in her heart.
