Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

Morgans knew that he couldn't open Mo Xingchen's true heart, so he took out a document from his bag helplessly, pushed it in front of Mo Xingchen, and said:

"Mr. Mo Xingchen, I know you have some stereotypes about me. This is the agreement I just signed with Marshal Gang Gu Kong. This interview with you needs the consent of you and the Navy Headquarters before it can be published.

Please believe me, no one cares about the World Economic News more than I do.

I know there is no point in chatting any further, so I will just ask two questions that I care about most right now…

What kind of justice do you uphold in your heart, and what is your attitude towards pirates?"

Mo Xingchen looked at the agreement, leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, looked lazy, and said with a smile:

"I have always felt that when a strong person is angry, he should draw his sword and attack someone even stronger. Even if he is a pirate, it does not prevent me from respecting him personally! But from what I see in the sea today, it is just a bunch of trash who draw their swords and attack the weak.

So generally when I meet pirates, it depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, they might put me in jail. If I'm in a bad mood? I'm sorry, these scumbags can only pray that their necks are harder than my sword. This is my justice of fate!"

"Thank you for your cooperation. The interview was very exciting. I will also work hard to make the news even more exciting, Mr. Mo Xingchen!"

Hearing such an explosive answer, Morgans finally smiled happily with satisfaction. Although the progress was a bit bumpy, at least he got some news that met the selling points. So he stood up, stretched out his wings, and the two shook hands and said goodbye.

Ji Yuan looked at the two people who were treating each other with respect, then meowed in the direction of Marshal Ganggu Kong's office, his small eyes revealing a great deal of stupidity.

When Morgans had gone far away, Ji Yuan whispered:

"How did you do it?"

"Tsk~ Just use your hands!"

"What did you guys talk about?"

"I didn't realize you were such a gossiper. Keep it a secret. We'll know about it in the newspapers in a few days anyway."

"mean!"

……

Mo Xingchen held his head in his hands, whistled, and walked towards the training ground with Di Yuan, ready to randomly select a victim to test his new trick.

A few days passed in a flash. Today, the Navy Headquarters was very lively. Every soldier was dressed neatly and cleanly. Even Mo Xingchen wore his least favorite formal suit, which was the black suit he bought when he first came to Marinford.

The big guys and senior leaders were sitting in the first row eating fruit, the second row was a group of veteran lieutenant generals, and behind them sat a group of major generals and brigadier generals. Behind them were a square formation of veterans, and another square formation of new recruits who needed to be awarded medals. Our protagonist Mo Xingchen was mixed in among the thirty or forty people in the elite training camp, standing to one side of the stage, and began to sleep.

As the big guys said "I'll just say a few words", he slept for two hours. Suddenly, a thunderous applause woke Mo Xingchen up. It turned out that the formal ceremony of awarding honors had ended.

Teams of new marines walked onto the stage, and under the announcement of the air marshal, they became glorious marines of the headquarters, and then walked down with their ranks and military posts.

Until the highlight began, the awarding of medals to the elite training camp began, starting with the last one, more than a dozen colonels of the headquarters were awarded titles, and then it was the turn of Huoshaoshan, Ghost Spider, Dorag and others. There were more than ten people who were all brigadier generals of the headquarters.

The last one was Kuzan, who was promoted to major general of the headquarters with the excellent result of first place. As each officer who was awarded a rank finished his speech, the soldiers below would burst into thunderous applause.

"This next recruit has only been in the army for two months. Some of you may know him, while others may have only heard of his name. However, as a captain in the navy, he killed and captured pirates in the Sabaody Archipelago in half a day, with a total bounty of more than 40 billion! I believe that his backbone is able to bear the weight of 'justice'."

As Steelbone Sora spoke passionately, a navy man came over with a tray. Sora picked up the folded coat on the tray and shook it, displaying the word "Justice" in front of everyone.

"Hu~~"

All the voices merged into one, filling the entire ceremony with excitement, and brought the emotions of all the soldiers to a climax. Everyone knew that the officers and generals before them must have had military merits, but they were just the sum of sporadic achievements, and they had only been in training camps for the past two years without any missions, so this real and dazzling record touched the sense of justice of every sailor!

No one knew who shouted "Mo Xingchen" first, and then the entire square began to change from intermittent shouting to uniform shouting, calling for the hero in their hearts to come on stage.

Kuzan then nudged Mo Xingchen, who was still in a daze, with his elbow.

"Big star, it's your turn!"

Mo Xingchen came back to his senses, smiled bitterly and shook his head. He just wanted to be a salted fish, but he didn't expect this to happen. Did this count as Marshal Kong being stabbed?

Putting on a gentle smile, he slowly walked to the front of the stage, confident and sunny. Marshal Kong personally bent down to put the coat of justice on Mo Xingchen, then stood up.

"In the name of the Navy's Chief Marshal, I confer the rank of Colonel on Mo Xingchen."

Patting Mo Xingchen on the shoulder, he said solemnly:

"Be clothed in justice and never fall!"

"Yes! Marshal!"

Mo Xingchen saluted solemnly, and Gang Gukong took the lead in clapping. There were roaring cheers and thunderous applause from below. It lasted for a minute, and Gang Gukong pressed his hands down.

"Next, let's invite our navy's rising star to give a speech!"

After Kong Ganggu finished speaking, he clapped his hands and left. Mo Xingchen walked to the podium where Marshal Kong had just stood, adjusted the microphone, and saluted the audience. After everyone saluted him in return, he spoke:

"Good morning, officers and colleagues! I'm sorry to have to take up your time to listen to me talk about something that you may already know."

A simple opening statement caused the crowd in the audience to chuckle, because this is a common problem in large-scale ceremonies, where leaders always patiently talk about principles that everyone knows. Just now, so many generals and officers gave speeches, and the ones at the beginning were fine, but they spoke less and less towards the end, and when they had all said everything, they didn't know what to say anymore.

Seeing that the audience was so respectful, Mo Xingchen gradually became involved.

"When I learned from my superior, Lieutenant General Karp, last night that I would be giving a speech on stage today, to be honest, I was shocked!

Why? It's not that I'm modest. I know you don't like to hear this either, but... a few days ago, Major General Kuzan's colleagues in the training camp asked me if I had prepared my speech, and my superior only remembered to notify me last night!"
