Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

As the night grows darker

Mo Xingchen returned to Dorag's courtyard, opened the door and saw him sitting in the living room reading a book. He walked closer and had to say that this kid was really hardworking, still studying military knowledge late at night.

"You're back, Mo."

Dorag looked up and saw the person coming and greeted him.

"Sorry, Drago. I had a few drinks with Kuzan and the others, so I came back a little late. Here... a little gift I bought for you!"

"Thank you, brother!" Dorag happily took it with both hands and thanked him.

"Yeah...it's okay. It's too late. I won't train today. You shouldn't stay up too late either. Go to bed early. I'm going to sleep first."

"Oh, I see"

……

The next morning, Mo Xingchen got up early and knocked on Karp's door with the hat he bought yesterday.

"Xingchen, have you eaten yet? Let's eat together?"

As soon as he entered the room, Cap invited him to have breakfast together. Mo Xingchen didn't hesitate and sat down to eat. While eating, he handed over the bag in his hand.

"Um...no...this is the hat I bought for you yesterday...when we were shopping...hiss...try it on."

When Karp heard there was a gift, he took it with a big smile on his face, opened the gift box, and saw it was a dog-head hat, so he put it on with joy.

"Yohahahahahaha, this old man is very satisfied! I wish that brat Dorag was as sensible as you!"

"That boy... is pretty good."

"Well, eat first. After that I'll take you to meet my old friends. In the future, if you make any mistakes, you'll have to ask them to help you."

After breakfast, Karp, wearing a dog-head hat, went out with Mo Xingchen and headed towards the headquarters office building. After a while, they arrived at the door of an office and Karp pushed the door open and walked in.

"Yohahahahaha, Xiaohe, look at my hat!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was working, put down the documents in his hand, looked up at Garp, curled his lips with a look of disgust, and then looked at Mo Xingchen who was following behind Garp.

Karp walked casually to the sofa and sat down. Mo Xingchen followed and closed the door. He turned around and found Vice Admiral He looking at him, so he straightened his back and saluted:

"Reporting to Lieutenant General He, I am Lieutenant General Garp's communications soldier, Mo Xingchen, and I am promoted to the rank of captain!"

"Oh~ You are the new recruit who defeated Kuzan. Garp has mentioned you. Hmm~ You are a very energetic young man. Not bad!"

Lieutenant General He put down the documents in his hand, stood up and sat down on the sofa, and began to fiddle with the tea set. At the same time, he waved to Mo Xingchen.

"Come and sit down. Don't be so polite. Although you are only a captain now, Garp values ​​you very much and is ready to take you in as his disciple. Besides, you are quite capable. I can't treat you as an ordinary recruit."

Mo Xingchen was also a person who climbed up the ladder, so he sat down unceremoniously and said with a joking smile:

"Hehe, Sister He, you've made me feel embarrassed. Uncle Garp has praised you many times in front of me!"

"How can a bastard like him, who can't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, praise me? It's more like scolding me."

Lieutenant General Tsuru poured hot tea with a look of disbelief.

"Really? You're young, pretty, and resourceful. Many times he and the Warring States general did stupid things, and you always covered for them!"

Mo Xingchen said seriously, his sincere eyes, coupled with his handsome face, made Lieutenant General He laugh out loud.

"You slick-tongued brat, I'm old, and you're still talking about being young and beautiful. Really... From now on, I'll follow Garp and call you Xingchen."

Although Vice Admiral He said this, from the smile on his face, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he liked this strong, polite and talkative young man very much.

At this time, the office door was opened again, and two burly men walked in.

"Good boy! I heard you slandering me as soon as I walked in! What crime should I be punished for!"

It turned out that the two generals, Zhan Guo and Zefa, had arrived. Mo Xingchen stood up and saluted with embarrassment on his face. He didn't expect that when he was complimenting someone, he would encounter such a thing. His toes began to tap the floor.

"General Sengoku, General Zephyr!"

"hahahahahahahahahaha……"

The four high-ranking navy officers laughed heartily at Mo Xingchen's blushing face and embarrassment. In the end, Vice Admiral He spoke up.

"Okay, Sengoku, stop teasing Xingchen. If you make him laugh out of the navy, Garp will beat you up."

When everyone heard this, they laughed again. Mo Xingchen thought silently in his heart, these four middle-aged and elderly people have no moral principles and teamed up to bully a pure and good young man like me. I was careless and didn't dodge!

"Alright, Xingchen, you can sit down too." Zefa tried to smooth things over, then turned around and started to attack Garp again, "You old man, I looked for you all day yesterday but couldn't catch you. This semester is about to graduate, so you have to let Xingchen come to the training camp next semester."

"Yo hahahaha, look, this old guy is anxious! Zefa, it's not that you can't let Xingchen enter your training camp, it's mainly because his current strength has reached the level of lieutenant general of the headquarters. You know that his strength at this level can no longer be improved by training. Instead of letting him waste two years in the training camp, it's better for him to stay with me and gain experience outside for a few years." Karp laughed and said proudly.

"But the training camp doesn't just improve strength, it also improves the friendship between classmates and comrades. With these, Xingchen's future promotion path will be easier."

Zefa really cares about Mo Xingchen, and he sincerely likes this promising young man. He wants to teach him well, and he said with an anxious look on his face.

The other three people understood what Zefa meant. It is true that the elite training camp is very helpful for promotion. Basically, those who come out of it will eventually be promoted to the rank of major general or above. It is said that there are three irons in life: studying together, fighting together, and doing something together... Then think about it, your future classmates will all be major generals, lieutenant generals, or even generals! Hiss... What a network of relationships.

Besides, the navy is such a huge team, and the interests of all parties are involved, so there are factions in the navy, and at this point in time, there are already signs of it, with doves led by Sengoku, hawks led by Kong Ganggu, and some middle-of-the-roaders who don't lean on either side, but there is no leader yet. If you don't have the support of factions behind you, even if you become an admiral, you will have no say in the navy, and you will have no one to command.

Haven’t you seen that after Sengoku retired, Fujitora and Green Bull were recruited through the large-scale conscription? They are called admirals in a nice way, but in fact they are just thugs of the navy. Fujitora was only equipped with a warship of ordinary soldiers, which was probably not even full staff. There were no officers of higher status, and no base. In the end, Sakaski directly banned him from returning to the new navy headquarters and he could not attend internal navy meetings. That basically means that everything within the navy has nothing to do with you!

Green Bull also became a security guard for the Celestial Dragons in Mary Joa. Look at the treatment and the right to speak? If only Mizono and Kake could help, these two wouldn't have a chance!
