Chapter 14 I'm so awesome, why don't I know it myself!
Among the current senior generals of the Navy, the most reliable ones are General Sengoku and Lieutenant General He. As for General Zefa and Lieutenant General Garp, compared to the above two, they are obviously typical cutthroat characters.
According to Garp, both Sengoku and He relied on their heads to make ends meet, unlike him and Zefa who made ends meet with their fists.
Guys who are too smart think about too many problems, and their lives are far less happy than they are.
Because of his achievements in capturing the Pirate King Roger, Marshal Sora will soon be promoted. As for the position of Navy Marshal who is vacant, there is a high probability that Marshal Sengoku will succeed him.
Garp and Crane only have the rank of "lieutenant general" and cannot directly skip the rank of general to become marshal.
Admiral Zefa has long been uninterested in naval affairs. If he had not been repeatedly persuaded to stay, he would have left the navy long ago, and it would be even less possible for him to compete with the Warring States Period for the position of marshal.
Based on the above analysis, Kadaru understood who was responsible for today's large-scale exercise of "Marinvando".
The new recruits who are now logged into "Marinfando" are the first batch of marines that he has become the marshal of the navy. It seems to be quite normal for the Warring States General to take such a move.
There are three fires for new officers when they take office, but the fire is basically for the old people. For the newcomers who have just arrived, they naturally choose to try their best to win over them. After all, these people will become the main team of the navy in the future.
Kadaru thought for a while and analyzed some of the thoughts of the Warring States general known as "Wise General". Of course, he didn't know whether there was a deeper intention in it.
However, the Warring States General's deployment seems to have been disrupted by Lieutenant General Garp before it even started successfully.
Even the latter seems to be heartless now and wants to ask Zefa if he has found any better seedlings this time to recruit new soldiers.
When talking about the new recruits, Zephyr also smiled. Before leaving "Marinvandor", Garp joked that there might be unexpected gains.
Zefa didn't take these words to heart at first, just taking them as relief from an old friend, but he didn't expect that he actually met Zefa.
"They are all good boys. Although they are still a little immature now, as long as they receive systematic training, they will definitely become excellent navy soldiers in the future.
And this time, I did meet an interesting kid. Although he is not old, he is a very strong-minded guy."
Hearing the conversation between Zefa and Garp, Wood felt something bad instinctively. Just as he was about to push his body to the back of the team, he realized that Zefa's eyes had caught him and called him out by name.
It's a pity that Wood would choose to join the navy. On the one hand, he just wanted to become stronger, and on the other hand, he wanted to rest against the big tree to enjoy the shade. Other than that, he had no other thoughts.
This is the Marine Headquarters "Marinvando", not the Red Leaf Island in the first half of the Grand Line. Everything you see is either a boss or an elite monster.
Even those idiots standing guard now, there is no guarantee that in more than ten years they will be Colonel So-and-so, or Major General and Lieutenant General So-and-so.
Wood has a very clear positioning of himself. He is this supporting character. Without the fate of the protagonist, he cannot become one of the protagonists of this era.
Wood had already made plans for his future, relying on the big tree of the Navy to help him grow stronger, and then get gilded along the way.
More than ten years later, the plot officially begins. Relying on the experience of the Navy Headquarters and Zefa's relationship, he applies to be transferred to the Navy Branch on Hongye Island to serve as a colonel for his retirement.
Who stipulates that time-travelers must defy the sky and the earth and the air? What does "one piece" have to do with him, Wood? He, Wood, has no interest at all in a hundred years of history that has disappeared.
It is Wood's pursuit to develop enough strength to protect himself in the sea, then return to his hometown to bully new pirates and live a comfortable life.
Therefore, before coming to the Navy Headquarters, Wood had already made up his mind to keep a low profile to avoid being targeted by the so-called "big shots".
Wood liked the previous "waste through the back door" setting very much, and he even originally planned to maintain this character setting in "Malinfando".
After more than ten years of unremarkable training, he became an ordinary navy officer, then applied for a job on an ordinary island, and then lived an ordinary life.
However, things often backfire like this. God knows why among thousands of navy recruits, Zefa only remembered his name and called him out on this occasion.
Being called out by a naval admiral in full public view, what can Wood do? Even if he doesn't want to, he can only stand out at this moment.
Thanks to Zefa, everyone's attention is now focused on Wood. He obviously wanted to keep a low profile, but he became famous on the first day!
"Is this the kid you call? He doesn't seem to be old enough to be drafted, right?"
The drafted navy recruits were generally around eighteen years old. Although Wood had a strong physique, his rather immature face also seemed a bit awkward among the crowd.
"Yes, he is only sixteen years old now, but in terms of experience, he should already have more experience than most of the navy.
Can you believe it? Not long ago, this sixteen-year-old brat single-handedly killed half of the pirate group, plus a Devil Fruit user with a bounty of 20 million beli."
"But these are not the most important things. What I value more is the quality of this kid.
Garp, can you believe it? At that time, I was actually frightened by the look in this kid's eyes. It was a look that devoted all his life to carrying out justice!"
Originally, Garp was only slightly interested in Wood, but after hearing Zefa say such words seriously, his face suddenly became moved, and he began to examine Wood seriously.
Having known each other for so many years, Karp knew quite well who Zefa was. There must be something special about Wood being able to receive such a high evaluation from Zefa.
So Karp was now curious about the Wood in front of him, and planned to try Wood's quality with his own hands.
As for Wood, who was listening to the entire conversation between the two, he already looked dumbfounded at this moment.
Zefa's embarrassment left Wood completely speechless. If he hadn't named him by name, Wood wouldn't have known that the person he was talking about was him...
As the saying goes, I'm so awesome and I don't even know it...
Wood himself had such an expression, and the people around him needless to say.
Especially those newbies who were on the same boat as Wood before. They originally thought that the other party was a well-connected person, but it turned out to be a ruthless person!
When they were only sixteen years old, they killed a pirate with a bounty of 20 million beli and half of the pirate group. They were also fighting pirates at the age of sixteen, but the so-called "pirates" were role-playing games they played by themselves.
