Victor has not been very comfortable these days, which makes him increasingly angry. Especially after seeing Walker, he can't help but want to fight.
Especially this time, I saw Walker ranked among the top 50 and entering the elite class. On the way down the mountain, there were many students surrounding him, praising Walker for his courage and daring to challenge the black weight bag.
In the training camp, Zefa treated the students equally regardless of their status and did not care whether they were noble or not. As a result, his status did not attract as many people to follow him as he did over the West Sea.
The students from other sea areas are not from aristocratic backgrounds, and they are also not too interested in Victor's aristocratic status.
The people who originally followed him began to alienate after this weight-bearing training, and began to worship the few strong men who could reach the top, which made him feel a little confused about his noble status.
At around 9 p.m., most students have returned to their dormitories to rest and resume their daily activities.
Victor sneaked out of the training camp, went to the naval residential area, and entered a large villa.
"Victor, why are you here? Isn't today the first day of the training camp?" In the middle of the villa hall, there was a middle-aged man with the same golden color sitting. If you look closely, his face was somewhat similar to Victor's.
"Uncle Connor, what, why don't you even come to see your nephew?" Victor came in and said hello with a smile.
Freeman Connor, a veteran vice-admiral of the Navy Headquarters, looked at Victor. Although he was smiling, his expression seemed a bit gloomy, not as bright and proud as before.
"Stop standing, why are you so polite to your uncle? Sit down."
Lieutenant General Connor got up and poured two glasses of red wine, handed them to Victor and asked
"What's wrong, Victor, something unpleasant happened? Someone bullied you in the training camp? Then I have to ask General Zefa."
"No, Uncle Connor, that's it." Victor quickly waved his hand and told Lieutenant General Connor his confusion.
Lieutenant General Connor did not answer directly after hearing this. He took a sip of wine and sighed.
"Oh, it's normal for you to be confused. You've stayed in that small place in the West Sea for too long. In fact, I didn't want you to join the navy, but your parents thought that I pushed you to join the navy."
"The Navy Headquarters has changed a lot in recent years. The earliest establishment of the Navy was established by the World Government. In terms of investment, our noble members also invested a lot of resources in it. We saw that the Navy began to grow little by little, and its importance continued to increase. We, the noble group, cannot help but A few outstanding talents have joined, hoping to take control of the power and be able to communicate with the world government more advantageously."
"At that time, the navy was basically dominated by our nobles. Later, the number of pirates continued to increase. In the years of fighting, our nobles lost a lot of talents. Later, we began to recruit a large number of civilians to join the army to supplement our strength."
"As a large number of civilians joined the navy, the proportion of the aristocracy was diluted. As civilian geniuses continued to rise, the power of the aristocracy began to decline, but their influence has remained for so many years."
"Until now, Marshal Kong has promoted the current Warring States Generals, General Zefa, Garp and others. In addition, Garp destroyed the Rocks Pirates a few years ago. That is a terrifying pirate group that seriously threatens the world government. , and after that, civilian generals have completely become the benchmark for the navy, and we noble generals no longer have a dominant position in our navy."
"But our biggest advantage is that we have the privilege of being promoted first because we are backed by the World Government. The World Government doesn't really want to see a navy dominated by civilian generals. They also have ideas to suppress civilian generals and give special support to us nobles. "
After telling the story of the history of nobles in the navy, Lieutenant General Connor also felt a little dry. He drank the remaining red wine in one gulp, looked at his nephew, and did not say the last words in his heart.
General Zefa may be the target of government suppression.
After hearing his uncle's story, Victor was a little shocked and had not yet recovered. He somewhat understood the status of nobles in the navy. They had privileges, but they were not that important.
Connor watched his nephew's contemplation without disturbing him. He lit a cigar, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at the ceiling. His eyes were a little blurry, as if he was missing the glory of the past.
After a long time, Victor regained consciousness, and his initially confused eyes began to firm up.
"I have decided, uncle, that I will no longer rely on aristocratic background. I am Navy Victor. I will put aside my aristocratic status, stand at the top of the navy with my own abilities, and regain the glory of the aristocratic navy."
Connor looked at his ambitious nephew and couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he was young. He smiled and patted Victor on the shoulder.
"Come on and fly, Victor, I believe you can succeed. Uncle will always be your strong support."
………
At the same time, in the Marshal's Office of the Navy Headquarters, Warring States was still accompanying Marshal Kong to review and approve internal documents.
"Phew, it's finally approved, Warring States, thank you for your hard work." Marshal Kong put down the document in his hand and stretched, making a sound of bones colliding.
"This is what I should do." Warring States took a sip of tea and said.
"Haha, just get used to it. When it's your turn to do it after I retire, there won't be anyone to help you share the burden."
"Marshal Kong, you have to be a marshal for decades, and I have to continue to learn from you."
"Old man, old man, my body and bone condition are declining day by day. I don't know how long I can hold on. It will still be up to you in the future." Marshal Kong looked at Warring States with satisfaction.
Looking at the Warring States period that he single-handedly brought up, he has been promoted to the position of general, and his abilities and skills are also very outstanding. He is basically determined to be the next marshal, and he is full of pride in his heart.
But when I thought about Garp who was brought out at the same time, the smile on his face began to disappear, and I felt a headache.
"Sengoku, is Garp's vacation over? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
When Warring States heard about Garp, his face hurt.
"That bastard Garp's vacation ended early. I informed him to come back, but he has to postpone his vacation for an uncertain time. He said he was going back to the East China Sea to take care of his son, but I can't contact that bastard anymore."
"well.."
Marshal Kong sighed. He knew that Garp was hiding from him and refused his promotion to the general position.
There are only two generals in the navy now. Zefa's position as general is only nominal and he focuses on his training camp, while General Warring States is to take over his position as marshal and has been studying in the marshal's office for a long time.
As a result, there is now a serious vacancy in the position of admiral. There is no admiral to deter pirates on the sea, and now only Lieutenant General Garp has the strength to be the most powerful admiral in the navy.
But this guy was unwilling to take over. This time he just found a reason to leave the headquarters and hid far away, just to avoid Sora's persuasion.
"Warring States, how is Zefa doing now? Is there any particularly outstanding seedling?" Marshal Kong gave up the topic of Garp and asked instead.
Sengoku thought for a moment and realized that Sora meant to ask if there was any seedling with the potential to become a general.
At present, the promotion of lieutenant generals in the headquarters is relatively stable. Many outstanding geniuses have the ability of lieutenant generals. We are not worried about the lack of lieutenant generals. However, there is not only a difference in rank between generals and lieutenant generals, but also a complete gap in strength. Two levels.
At present, the Navy Headquarters not only lacks current generals, but also lacks potential generals for the next generation.
"The selection for this training camp is really good. There are three outstanding talents with monster titles and the potential to be promoted to generals." Warring States replied after carefully thinking about the student information he saw on Zefa's side.
"Oh, really?" Kong was a little surprised after hearing this. General Miaozi is not that easy to find. Kong has been a naval marshal for so long, and he has discovered Zefa, Sengoku, and Garp, three generals with the strength of generals. .
As soon as Seng Guo opened his mouth, there were three seedlings. He believed in Seng Guo's eyesight and would not speak casually, which was indeed a bit surprising.
"Yes, Marshal Kong, these three students are all natural-type Devil Fruit users. Two of them are Shining Fruits, Rock Fruits and Top Devil Fruits. The other's physical fitness is very exaggerated, and the compatibility with Earth Fruits is very high." Warring States Period Recalling the student information and introducing it.
"Is it the top natural devil fruit? That is indeed worth paying attention to. Warring States, next you should also focus on Zefa's training camp and give Zefa the greatest training support. Just tell him what you need to provide, and the headquarters will fully assist. ." Marshal Kong commanded seriously at this moment.
"Yes, I will tell Zefa personally."
"Um"
