Chapter 64 Goodbye Major
Major of the Navy Headquarters!
As Garp said these words, the entire Rogge Town port began to boil with discussion.
"Navy Headquarters, Major!"
"That's right, I upgraded three levels in a row. Coles is only seventeen this year!"
"Lieutenant General Garp said it himself. This should be correct. It is indeed true!"
Although the navy soldiers present were shocked, they were only shocked for a moment.
After all, they all knew before that Coles defeated Aaron, who had a bounty of 20 million, and even single-handedly defeated the Klick Pirates, the former overlord of the East China Sea.
It is not a strange thing to be promoted from the Navy Headquarters Ensign to the Navy Headquarters Major.
As for the people in Rogge Town, some of them didn't know anything about it, so they seemed very confused.
However, under various discussions, it is also clear why Coles was promoted.
All kinds of envious, adoring and respectful eyes began to fall on Coles.
Because everyone knows what a seventeen-year-old Major of the Navy Headquarters represents. He is a rising star in the Navy!
"Major Coles!"
I don't know who shouted, and the entire crowd of onlookers began to shout, and then the voices merged together and became one.
"Major Coles!"
"Major Coles!"
Similarly, the navy soldiers present gradually joined in the shouting, completely getting rid of the previous influence of William's pirate group.
When Coles received the promotion notice from Garp, he was still in a daze.
Own,
He became a lieutenant commander at the Navy Headquarters!
It has only been ten months since he joined the navy, and the scene on the day when he started as a new recruit seems like yesterday.
He looked down at the notice in his hand.
Looking at the bustling port of Rogge Town, Coles felt like he was in a dream.
"Young man, do your best!"
Garp patted Coles on the shoulder again, bringing him back to reality.
Then, Garp yawned and said, "Ah, I haven't slept for several days because of drinking tea. Ha, I'm so sleepy. I have to go to bed first. Remember to escort the criminals and pirates to the ship tomorrow."
"Yes, Lieutenant General Garp."
Coles stood straight and saluted.
…
With Lieutenant General Garp at his command, the threat from the William Pirates is no longer a concern.
At the port, the crowd gradually dispersed.
At the same time, the scene that happened here today was also passed on by people who saw it with their own eyes.
The overlord of the East China Sea is coming!
The two sides are about to go to war. At this critical moment, the hero Lieutenant General Garp arrives!
Finally, Lieutenant General Karp publicly informed Coles that he was promoted to Major at the Navy Headquarters!
Today's ups and downs made Coles, who was already well-known, instantly become a man of the hour in Rogge Town.
for these.
Coles didn't pay too much attention and left the naval base on time after get off work.
As soon as he entered the villa, Coles felt that the atmosphere was different from usual.
The servants around him seemed to be more respectful and humble. Was it because the news of his promotion to Major at the Navy Headquarters came back?
On the sofa, Ronald saw his son returning and immediately stepped forward to grab Coles' shoulders, his face full of excitement.
"Coles, you have been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the Navy Headquarters! Is this true?"
When the person who brought the news came over to inform him, Ronald thought he was joking.
But as the matter spread more and more outside, Ronald gradually began to believe it.
Therefore, as soon as Coles came back, Ronald wanted to ask for a real answer.
Coles did not hide it: "Well, I was notified only at the port that the military rank was indeed promoted to major of the Navy Headquarters."
Ronald gradually let go of Coles' shoulders, but his expression became extremely excited, and he kept pacing with the gold-encrusted cane.
"Major of the Navy Headquarters, this is incredible, it is simply extremely beautiful!"
"Would you like to celebrate with a few tables? Or go to a restaurant outside to eat. As for eating outside, the restaurant on the east side is closed now. The Blue Star restaurant in the central square is a bit spicy..."
Coles couldn't help being speechless.
"It's okay to eat at home. Now eating out attracts too much attention!"
After thinking about it, Ronald felt that it made sense. People should not be too ostentatious.
"Yes, yes, keep a low profile."
…
The next day, Coles wore a brand new navy uniform and continued to work at the naval base as a major in the navy headquarters.
Today's mission is to escort the captured pirates to Lieutenant General Garp's warship.
From the dungeon of the base, pirates wearing prison uniforms and shackled were sent by the navy to Lieutenant General Garp's dog-headed warship.
Coles was there to watch.
There were no problems on the road.
After sleeping for a whole day, Lieutenant General Garp stretched and slowly woke up.
"Sleep comfortably! How are you? Have all the criminals been escorted onto the ship?"
Coles reported aloud: "Report to Lieutenant General Garp, the criminals have been escorted, including the corrupt Navy Captain Rat, the pirate Crick, the pirate Akin, the fish-man pirate..."
"Among them, the pirate Ajin is a crew member of the current overlord of the East China Sea, William's pirate group. The other party is likely to intercept him during transportation."
Garp put one hand on his waist and touched the uncomfortable back of his head with the other. With an indifferent expression on his face, he slowly boarded the dog-headed warship.
"William the Great Pirates, if they have this idea, let them do it."
…
As the sun sets, the dog-headed warship begins to return to the Navy Headquarters in the Grand Line.
Coles is very relieved about this.
Although William has swordsman-level swordsmanship and 8,000 subordinates, it is very unlikely that he can rescue Ajin from Vice Admiral Garp.
After all, Vice Admiral Garp is a legendary marine with terrifying combat power, almost among the top in the world.
Even if aging will have some impact and combat power cannot be fully exerted, it is not something that a new East China Sea overlord can shake.
On the other hand, William also learned that Ajin was taken away by Vice Admiral Garp's warship and was about to be sent to the underwater prison.
After careful consideration.
William decided to temporarily delay the rescue of Ajin. He was very clear about his own strength. To rescue now would undoubtedly be a futile act.
He needed to wait for a suitable opportunity, just like when he was on the slave ship, he endured until the human traffickers and pirates fought, and then used his hidden flintlock to complete the rescue.
Afterwards, William, carrying the slogan of "rescuing fellow Ajin", led the 8,000-man pirate fleet into the Grand Line.
The development of the East China Sea has been exhausted, and it is time to show off our skills in the Grand Line.
As for what the William Pirates will encounter after entering the Grand Line, Coles did not know. He only knew that with the departure of the William Pirates, the East China Sea also calmed down for a while.
...
One month later, the repair shop.
Dinglingling!
Coles pushed open the wooden door and saw the bald boss repairing a pulley.
"Is my scabbard cast?"
The bald boss pointed to the wooden box on the counter next to him and said lightly: "Where is it? You didn't tell me the color of the scabbard before, so I chose white for you. If you think it's not okay, you can repaint it."
Coles opened the box and saw a white scabbard inside. Unlike ordinary scabbards, it was extremely curved.
"Yes."
In fact, he prefers black scabbards, but white scabbards are not impossible.
After taking out the demon sword Hongyue, Coles began to experiment whether the scabbard can hold the sword.
A fine sound came out slowly, and the blade easily entered the scabbard, fitting perfectly.
Then he drew the sword, and the blade was pulled out without any hindrance, with full stability.
"How much does it cost to make?" Coles smiled slightly, very satisfied with the scabbard.
"It's still 100,000 Baileys!"
"Okay."
...
After paying the money.
Coles left the repair shop.
He did not put the demon sword back into the shadow, but hung it directly on his waist.
As for the influence of the demon sword.
Although there was a little, but without touching the handle, the impact was minimal, and Coles used it to train his mental power.
A week later, it was finally time for Coles to go to the Navy Headquarters.
After saying goodbye to his father and sister.
Coles left the villa, and then boarded the warship to the Navy Headquarters with the farewell of the navy at the naval base.
Port.
When the warship was about to leave.
A burst of white flashes flashed in the crowd, and it was a group of reporters taking pictures with cameras.
Such a young lieutenant commander of the Navy Headquarters is about to go to the Navy Headquarters. This is an excellent headline. How can the major newspapers let it go?
In this regard.
Coles couldn't stop it.
As his military rank continued to rise, his popularity became more and more popular, and it was no longer possible to conceal information about his family.
However, he was not worried that his family would be in danger after he left, because he had asked Colonel Smoker to help take care of them.
What's more,
he also left [Lanros] and twelve [Shadow Knights] with his family.
With the secret protection of these shadow soldiers, it was almost impossible for any danger to occur in the East China Sea.
The warship began to sail.
Gradually moving away from Rogue Town.
The crowd in the distance became blurred, and then the entire island, and finally disappeared from sight under the influence of the horizon and distance.
Coles also retracted his gaze.
Next, it was waiting to reach the Navy Headquarters of the Grand Line.
The warship did not take the intersection of the Grand Line, but chose to go directly through the doldrums.
The reason why they dared to go this way was because the scientist Dr. Begabank invented the technology of inlaying seastone on the bottom of the navy warship.
This technology allows the navy warships to safely pass through the doldrums.
The East China Sea is far away from the navy headquarters. Even if there are warships passing through the doldrums, it will take nearly five or six days.
During this boring time, Coles did not give up meditation and training.
All the way was peaceful.
On the afternoon of the sixth day after setting off from Rogue Town, the warship finally arrived at the navy headquarters.
Marinford.
On the crescent-shaped port.
Coles, dressed in a navy uniform, with a straight body, a long sword with a white scabbard on his waist, and a navy coat on his back, walked slowly down from the warship.
In the open space of the port, a naval officer was here to welcome Coles' arrival.
He was a middle-aged man with a black famous sword hanging on his waist, also wearing a navy coat, with a hint of heroism between his eyebrows.
At this time, a breeze blew from the sea, blowing the coats of justice worn by the middle-aged and young navy officers.
"Major Kahn, long time no see!"
"Charlotte Coles, long time no see, but I am no longer a major now, you should call me colonel."
"Yes, Colonel Kahn, but in my heart, you will always be my respected major!"
