Chapter 3 William's starting point is a naval service!
The blue and white warship broke through the wind and waves, and William stood on the deck of the warship. He had already changed into a uniform belonging to the navy.
Standing next to him was Smoker, who was still holding two cigars.
On the ship of the [Axe Pirates], after William told Smoker about his past, Smoker immediately punched the [Axe Pirates] mast in anger, and then he asked William
Have you ever thought about joining the navy?
In Smoker's view, William, who could kill a shipload of pirates at such a young age, is definitely a good candidate to become a navy.
Upon hearing Smoker's solicitation, William immediately nodded and agreed.
During the conversation with Smoker, he also learned that Smoker had just been transferred from the Navy Headquarters to the "peaceful" East China Sea and was about to assume the position of director of the Rogge Town Naval Base.
This made William's eyes flash with ambition. Smoker had just arrived in the East China Sea, which meant that if he joined the navy now, he would be among Smoker's first team members.
Even if Smoker doesn't know how to adapt to some things, when it comes to giving preferential treatment to his subordinates, Smoker is definitely ranked high in the Navy Headquarters.
To sum up, following Smoker now is equivalent to following the dragon in vain!
As a result, William put on the clothes of a navy handyman and suddenly became a handyman on the Smog warship who currently has no work to do.
In the naval system, only third-class privates can be officially called naval soldiers, while privates below third-class are collectively called handymen and are generally responsible for the daily logistics work of branch bases.
There are no naval handymen on Smoker's warships. As a captain of the navy headquarters, his subordinates are all private first class.
With a bounty of 3.7 million on [Sharp Axe] Tyson's head, William originally had the absolute capital to directly become a first-class navy soldier or even a navy captain.
However, because Smoker has not officially become the base commander of the Rogue Town base, he cannot directly promote William on the warship.
Only after they arrived in Rogge Town and William officially passed the navy's recruitment process, Smog would record this military merit on William.
However, with Esmog's character, he is not afraid of him coveting William's military achievements.
"Colonel Smoker, do you know anything about Rogue Town? What kind of place is it?"
On the deck, William stared at the sea in a daze with nothing to do. Everyone on the entire warship was performing their duties and staying at their posts. Only he, who had boarded the ship halfway, was currently idle.
"That's my hometown."
Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his slightly fierce eyes.
Ever since I joined the Navy and entered the Navy Headquarters for training, I haven’t been home for nearly ten years.
I don’t know how Rogge Town has changed since he left.
"I've heard people say that Rogge Town is known as the "Town of Beginning and Ending". Roger, the Pirate King back then, was born in Rogge Town and was later executed in Rogge Town."
William sighed. He had no special opinion of Roger, even though Roger had ushered in the Age of Discovery and brought disaster to countless civilians.
However, in the final analysis, Roger's words only ignited the flames of the fire. Hidden under this chaos is the world of cannibalism.
Hearing William's words, Smoker didn't answer. He recalled the scene of the execution of the Pirate King back then, and that last smile was forever fixed in his mind.
He couldn't understand why a pirate who was about to die could smile like that.
In order to pursue this point, he joined the navy. However, after so many years, he still did not get a satisfactory answer.
"William."
Smoker took a deep breath, lowered his head and looked at William, his expression extremely solemn.
"The navy's duty is to protect civilians on the sea and eliminate all pirates. This road is extremely difficult and will encounter too many resistances and dangers. Are you sure you are ready?"
William did not answer Smoker immediately. He just recalled in his mind the peaceful life he had lived on the island for the past ten years.
I recall my parents who gave the best to me, my friends who joked with me and fished in the sea, and the fisherman uncle who often pretended to scold me, but told them stories about going to sea...
That day, everything was broken.
My parents fell into the sea of fire, my friends were torn apart by guns and weeping, the fisherman uncle picked up the harpoon and rushed towards the pirates, but was brutally killed...
After a long time, William raised his head and showed a smile. This smile gradually merged in Smoker's heart with the smile Roger showed when he was executed.
"Of course, Colonel Smoker, from the moment I stepped onto your warship, I had only one goal in mind."
"That is, create a world where no children cry!"
Children mean the future and hope.
Only when the children in this world have happy smiles on their faces and do not have to worry about dangers that may come at any time, can this world be called a beautiful world!
After listening to William's words, Smoker turned his head silently, and narrowed his eyes. The shock in the depths of his eyes made his heart become more determined.
Create a world where no children will cry. Is this what a child under fifteen years of age would say?
Smoker recalled the children he met in the past and the innocent smiles on their faces. He unconsciously reached out and touched the ten weapons he carried behind his back.
Where should this power be used? He will no longer have any confusion in his heart!
"Colonel Smoker, there is news here that you may need to confirm."
Just when Smoker was about to say something, the adjutant on the ship suddenly ran over. He glanced at William, and then whispered in Smoker's ear.
William wisely turned his head to the other side and continued to watch the scenery on the sea. A news bird was soaring across the sky, but because no one greeted it, it did not land on the warship.
"What!"
The angry growl made William turn his head subconsciously. In his somewhat surprised eyes, Smoker actually bit into pieces the cigar he regarded as a treasure.
The veins in his fists bulged out, and the anger in his eyes almost turned into actual flames.
"Where is the source of the news?"
Smoker looked at the adjutant, his expression as ferocious as if he wanted to eat someone.
The adjutant was startled, but he still answered Smoker's question very respectfully, "It was said by one of our escaped navy soldiers. According to him, there are at least three pirate groups stationed in Rogge Town.
They are waiting for us to fall into their trap."
"They reported it to Colonel Ramos, the director of the Rogge Naval Base, but Colonel Ramos was thrown into prison on trumped-up charges. In the end, a soldier escaped from Rogge Town and passed on this information.
Come back."
Before arriving at Rogge Town, Smoker had sent a small force to Rogge Town to hand over to the former base director of Rogge Town Base, Colonel Ramos of the Naval Branch. Unexpectedly, he brought back such a bombshell news.
.
"Does the head of the branch base collude with pirates and want me to be buried in the sea?"
