In just three days, he already brought the designer to the door.
After looking at the design drawings, Sean proposed several areas that needed modification, and the final design was finalized.
A few days later, batch after batch of construction teams began to arrive.
Sean heard from Sumaner that for this project, Tokaf Construction Company deployed most of its construction team.
Several batches of ships will arrive in the future.
This quickly overwhelmed the small port of the Sixteenth Branch, and in the end the ships transporting personnel could only be parked on the sea, and small sailboats were used to transport personnel ashore.
After all, the port needs to be freed up to unload ships transporting construction materials.
A vigorous construction project just started.
Even Morgans specially sent reporters to interview and report on this future navy's most iconic fortress-type branch in the East China Sea.

"Brigadier General, we have established recruitment points on all the major surrounding islands."
"How is it going?"
"The situation is not very good. Although there are many people who have signed up, there are very few people who can meet our requirements. So far, less than 30 people have been confirmed to have met the standards!"
"Don't be anxious about things that are expected, take your time!"
Sean nodded and said.
He had already expected such a result.
After all, this is the East China Sea, known as the weakest sea, and not many people even know about Devil Fruits.
From a perspective, let alone the Grand Line, even compared with the other three seas, the East China Sea is absolutely weak.
"Brigadier, there is one more thing!"
"What's up?"
"A ship came just now. They are all villagers from Cocosia Village and several surrounding villages. There are about two hundred people. They want to see you!"
"Okay, where is he?"
“Right on the dock!”
"Okay, I'll just meet them!"
After picking up the admiral's coat and wrapping it around him, Sean quickly walked out of the office.
Sean could roughly guess why people from Cocosia Village and surrounding villages came to him.
I'm afraid that if they heard that the 16th branch was recruiting soldiers, and that the branch leader was himself, then they would all sign up to join the army.
After all, to them, Sean can be regarded as a benefactor.
Therefore, the enthusiasm of these villages to join the army is definitely higher than that of other islands.
The pier was full of people at the moment.
Even though there was only one medium-sized ship, more than 200 people were crowded on it.
It almost includes most of the people of the right age and the strongest group of people in those villages, and their attitude is evident.
"Uncle Keysuke, long time no see!"
"Brother Sean!"
When Sean saw Keysuke taking the lead, he walked up to him and said hello.
Before Keysuke could reply, a girl jumped out from the crowd.
"Nami, why are you here too?"
"Of course I came to join the navy!"
"No, you are too young. Didn't we agree to wait until you are sixteen before we talk?"
After habitually rubbing Nami's head, Sean shook his head.
Nami is only 14 years old now, so she hasn't developed yet, right?
On the other hand, Lu Qi disagreed.
After all, let alone 14 years old.
He can start performing missions when he is 10 years old.
14 years old...
You're the boss, okay?
Hearing Sean say this, Nami pouted.
But soon, it seemed that he saw something and pointed directly in a certain direction.
"What about him? He obviously looks younger than me!!"
Looking in the direction Nami pointed, Sean's face darkened.
It turned out to be Luffy who was watching the excitement. The most important thing was that this guy was wearing a marine uniform.
"Lucci, what's going on?"
Sean was very confused. Wasn't this guy still shouting yesterday that he would not be a navy?
Why did you change into navy uniform today?
Sean didn't think this guy figured it out overnight.
And the combination of this marine uniform and the One Piece straw hat is really weird no matter how you look at it.
"This morning he came to challenge me again, and then his clothes were beaten to pieces, and he didn't have any replacement clothes, so..."
"You did it on purpose, right?"
Luffy challenging Lucci is a daily routine.
At the most frequent time, I can even challenge 7 or 8 times a day.
But I never saw Lu Qi beat this guy's clothes to pieces.
You know, Luffy's clothes are definitely the toughest thing in the pirate world.
Fireproof and waterproof, resistant to high temperatures and colds, and extremely flexible.
Sean wouldn't believe what happened today if Lu Qi didn't do it on purpose.
"Commodore, I think ideological transformation can start from getting used to the navy uniform..."
"Oh, your idea...is okay!"
After pinching his chin, Sean pondered for a moment and then spoke in appreciation.
At the same time, Sean also sighed, Lu Qi finally started to stop thinking...
On the side, Nami suddenly became anxious.
"Brother Sean, since you can be younger than me, then I also want to be a sailor, otherwise you are discriminating!"
"Okay, stop shaking. I'll let Lu Qi test all of you later. As long as you can meet the requirements, it's okay, okay?"
"Yeah, brother Sean is the best!!"
Regarding the enthusiasm of Cocosia Village and the surrounding villages, Sean should not be too harsh on them.
So I told Lu Qi that he could be released with lower requirements. As long as his power value could reach 10 and he had some talent, he would be qualified.
But at the same time, it also limited the recruitment limit for each of these villages to three people.
If the recruitment limit is exceeded, admission will still be based on merit.
After all, if too many young people are lost in these villages, it will affect local life to a great extent.
------
Three hours later.
All the more than 200 people brought here by Keysuke have been tested.
In the end, a total of 37 people passed the test and were left.
What's interesting is that Nami is among them.
For this reason, Sean also asked Lu Qi specifically. Nami is only 14 years old. Can her power level really reach the standard?
As a result, when Lu Qi explained the test situation at that time, Sean was dumbfounded.
During a test, Nami's power level was only 5, but Luffy came over to watch the fun and staged a suicide attempt.
As a result, Nami went crazy and punched Luffy away, and then Luffy flew out...
He even collided with Lu Qi who had activated the Six-Style Game and Hand Kai.
As a result, this collision directly knocked out 58 points of power.
Lu Qi was dumbfounded at that time.
Can it still be like this?
"So, Nami is still the one with the highest power level according to your test?"
"That's true, but under normal circumstances, she is only about 4-5..."
Okay, should I say that she really deserves to be Nami?
As long as you get angry, even the Pirate King will be scared!
Sean was unable to complain about this.
However, now that the results are out, what else can I say?
Watching Lu Qi hand over Nami's information record form.
The power value was tested six times in total, and the results were 5, 58, 4, 5, 4, and 5 respectively.
His talents in financial management and navigation are extremely outstanding.
"Okay, that's it. All newly recruited sailors will undergo adaptive training first. After the equipment and instructors are sent over from the headquarters, they will be transferred to the training camp."
"clear!"
"Also, don't let the sailors we brought here be idle. Tomorrow you will take two teams out to sea to clean up pirates. Take Luffy and Ace with you and let them see what pirates are!"
