"Ah, after a year, we are back to our headquarters again."
Standing on the bow of the ship, Lucar sighed as he slowly saw the iconic city wall building of the Navy Headquarters emerging from the sea level little by little.
After sailing on the Grand Route for more than half a month, Lukar's warship was finally about to arrive at the Navy Headquarters.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that it's been a year since we came out. Time flies so fast."
Nishizawa also looked at the direction of the headquarters with some mixed emotions. He originally thought that the mission operation on Cora Island would be over in just a few months. Who would have thought that so many things happened in the middle, leading to him being outside for a whole year.
You must know that Lukar and the others do not need to be stationed in a certain fortress, so it is understandable that they have not returned to the headquarters all year round. This mission they only went over to provide support. It is estimated that even the Warring States generals could not have imagined that things would develop to the current situation.
"Is this the Navy Headquarters? It's so big!"
Barrett, who had never seen the Navy Headquarters before, could not help but exclaim when he saw the solemn headquarters building.
He grew up on the island of Hera. The two kingdoms on the island were at war all the year round and had no energy left to develop the country. As a result, the architectural style of the entire kingdom was more simple, and everything was practical and could be lived in.
Compared with the naval architecture of the top power organization in this world, it can really be regarded as a world of difference.
"Haha, it would be nice to come here a few more times. In fact, it's good to see. The navy's ability to enforce justice on this sea does not rely on a few magnificent buildings, but on our navy with a firm heart for justice."
"The righteousness of generations of ancestors has made the building here more majestic. I wonder if you can bring your share of justice to this building in the future."
When Lukar saw Barrett's expression, he took the opportunity to express his opinion, hoping that this young marine could also have the justice concept of a naval soldier.
It's as if you weren't shocked when you first saw the headquarters.
After hearing Lukar's words, Caesar glanced at him with a strange look, curled his lips, and did not say what was in his heart because he was teaching Barrett a heart of justice.
As a trainee from the same group of Xihai Branch at that time, Nishizawa certainly knew the situation when they first met the Navy Headquarters.
"Yes! Captain, sooner or later I will let everyone remember my Barrett's sense of justice!!"
Barrett, who was shocked by the building of the headquarters, was stimulated by Lukar's words and shouted out his goal excitedly.
He didn't notice the smile on Lukar's lips.
Well, children can be taught.
After training with Barrett for more than half a year, he is very optimistic about this young genius. He never needs the opponent's strength. He is a reckless man who never relaxes in terms of strength. Only strength can bring him a sense of security. .
Without his supervision, Barrett would exceed his training goals and would not give in to Lukar.
The only worry is Barrett's psychological problems, especially those years of experience on Hera Island, including the final betrayal of General Gray.
Fortunately, after Lukar passed General Gray's last gift to Barrett, the boy hid in the corner and cried silently.
After that, I have a lot more trust in Lukar, and I am more willing to accept Lukar's teachings.
The originally more aggressive personality that exuded after the battlefield has restrained a lot under Lukar's company these days, and it seems that the sharp blade has begun to slowly retract into the sheath.
The warship sailed slowly, and Nishizawa arranged for the flag bearer on the warship to pass the message to the soldiers at the sentries on both sides of Moon Bay, and safely sailed into the headquarters port.
"Ha, finally here."
Stepping on the ground of the Navy Headquarters, Lukar felt comfortable all over his body. There was nothing he could do about it. This was the feeling brought about by his Devil Fruit ability.
Although his combat effectiveness on the ship is not weak, he is truly complete and strongest only when standing on land.
"Nishizawa, please make arrangements here. Take Barrett to my house and wait for me later. I'll report to the Warring States General here first. When I come back in the evening, we'll go find Teacher Zefa together. I haven't talked to Zefa for a long time. Teacher Fa is drunk."
Lukar made a simple arrangement. Now that he has returned to his headquarters, as the captain of the warship, he must first report to the Warring States side. After all, his direct leader is the Warring States General.
"Okay, then go ahead and meet in your small building that night."
Caesar waved his hand casually, indicating that Lukar could leave. He had always been responsible for the arrangements of the soldiers and ships on these warships.
"good."
The two of them didn't need to hand over anything, and Lukar went straight to the classical city wall building at his headquarters.
Dong Dong——
"Come in."
Before Zhan Guo could say anything, the person outside his general's office opened the door and walked in without waiting for a reply from the person inside.
Putting down the documents in his hands and raising his head, a young navy man with a square face stood in front of his desk.
"Haha, Warring States General, I'm back."
Lukar said hello cheerfully.
In the past, his attitude towards the Warring States General was only as his superior leader. However, after the subsequent incident on Hera Island, he had a better impression of his direct leader sitting in front of him and felt that this was a man who also had justice. Sensational navy.
"It's you Lukar, have you just returned to the headquarters?"
After seeing that it was Lukar, Sengoku didn't pay attention to his previous action of entering directly. In his heart, Lukar and Garp were slowly connected.
"Yeah, I just came back. I don't know what the new mission arrangements are for the Warring States General."
Lukar asked directly about the arrangements at the headquarters. He had no choice. He was not as talkative as Caesar in this regard. As a reckless man, his style was to be straightforward. From the beginning, he invited Caesar to join. This is always the case.
"Is the mission arranged? Don't worry, your mission headquarters has already arranged it, but you have to stay at the headquarters for a while first. Your teacher Zefa has made arrangements and has recruited you."
"Teacher Zefa?"
Lukar looked confused. He couldn't think of anything he could do to help Teacher Zefa now. Regardless of his strength or teaching ability, he was the one who was beaten.
"Yes, do you know what time it is?"
Looking at Lukar's expression, Sengoku knew that there was no need to wait for his answer, let him explain.
"Recently, a new navy recruit training camp has been formed. This year, many of your talented students have joined. Zefa has arranged for you, Sakaski and Porusalino to attend the recruit ceremony. When the time comes, let's have a competition to give the newbies some motivation and show off your strength as seniors."
After listening to Sengoku's story, Lukar became more confused and frowned.
If the three of us really had a fight, wouldn't it frustrate these juniors?
Lukar is very aware of the strength of the three of them. He does not believe that the students in this class have the strength of the three of them, not to mention that all three of them have experienced another year on this sea.
You must know that in their class, many students in the same period could not withstand the blow of the training camp. The geniuses who were originally in the branch found that they were lagging behind after coming to the headquarters, and slowly lost their motivation to move forward. Falling behind, some were even directly persuaded to return to the branch.
