A huge cargo ship is sailing on the boundless sea. From the towering chimney, thick white smoke rushes straight up, creating the illusion of a desert with solitary smoke.
At the very front of the freighter deck, stood a young man in black clothes and black hair. His hands were leaning on the railings and his body was slightly leaning forward. Some of them were loose and dancing freely in the sea breeze. The moist air made people feel very comfortable.
On the railing next to the boy, stood a dark bird-shaped elf, looking straight into the distance with its sharp eyes.
This boy and elf are none other than Aoki and Dark Crow.
After the last test, Aoki's results made Ying feel satisfied, so as agreed, he took Aoki away from the trial island in advance.
This cargo ship is the Rockets cargo ship that transports supplies to the trial island every month. With Kage's permission, Aoki boarded this returning ship.
Although I had left the Trial Island once in my previous life, the difference from last time was that this time the freighter I took was able to visually see the route back.
Aoki discovered that the original location of the trial island was at the junction of the waters of the Kanto region and the Chengdu region.
"How's it going? Although you've only been out for less than a month, does it feel like you've been away from the civilized world for a long time?"
Just when Aoki and Dark Crow were looking at the sea level, a hoarse voice sounded from behind.
Shadow walked from the cargo ship's cabin to the deck, strolled up to Aoki, and leaned against the railing like him.
"Kage-sama."
Aoki shouted respectfully.
Shadow waved his hand, indicating that Aoki didn't need to be so cautious.
Although he has a very high status in the Rockets, he is the one who cares least about such false courtesy. He has always believed that strength is supreme, and those with strength have privileges.
Although Aoki doesn't have the strength yet, he values Aoki's potential, and for some other reasons, so he doesn't have much arrogance towards Aoki.
"I don't seem to have much feeling. I have always been an orphan before. There is no big difference between surviving in society and surviving on the trial island. The weak will be beaten. This is a cannibalistic world. Everything you do is...
Just to survive."
Aoki replied calmly, although those memories have gradually faded away, the feeling that has been engraved in his bones is still there.
When Ying heard Aoki's answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, a smile that came from the heart.
"It seems that our experiences are somewhat similar." His eyes gradually lost focus, as if he was really sighing, but also seemed to be recalling something.
Silence fell between the two, with only the howling sea breeze and the sound of sea water lapping against the cabin continuing.
After a while, Ying came back to his senses from the memories, smiled to himself and said, "I have experienced too much, and I always think of the past."
Aoki smiled and there was no other expression on his face.
Although Shadow is very powerful, and as the most mysterious deputy leader of Team Rocket, Shadow is supposed to be the kind of person who can kill without blinking an eye.
But after meeting him several times, Aoki discovered that he was actually not difficult to get along with. As long as he completely controlled his aura, he would be like an uncle leading the family.
"This is the alliance identity card I asked someone to make for you. All the information has been processed. As long as it is not carefully investigated by the alliance's top leaders at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, there will be no problems."
Ying took out an ID card with an alliance certificate and a stranger's face from his pocket and handed it to Aoki and said.
Aoki was slightly shocked, Kage personally sent someone to make the alliance identity certificate.
If it is true as he said, Aoki will be able to have an upright identity and live in the sunshine in the future.
"This is a human skin mask made by the so-called experts in the Rockets. It is said that as long as it is not scratched or burned, no one can tell the authenticity from the fake. The appearance of this human skin mask is exactly what it looks like on your alliance identity card
."
Ying once again took out a mask as thin as a cicada's wings and said as he threw it to Aoki.
With this ID card and this special human skin mask, I believe that even people who are familiar with Aoki may not be able to recognize who he is face to face.
Of course, the premise is that the elf cannot reveal its identity.
Therefore, when Kage gave Aoki his identity card and mask, Aoki had already decided that the elves he would conquer in the future would correspond to his two identities.
Dark Crow was the elf in Aoki's first Team Rocket, and Slowpoke would later become Aoki's elf in the alliance.
Although this may be troublesome, if the independence of the two identities can be ensured.
Then in the future, he can even try to lurk in the alliance, and eventually reach the status of the king of the alliance like Ah Ju. It is not impossible.
If he continues to reach a high position in the Rockets, with the help of resources from both sides, his strength will increase faster and faster.
I'm afraid the identity card and the exquisite mask that Ying prepared for him have this meaning.
"We will arrive in half an hour. Our destination is Kuye City. When we arrive, you can disembark by yourself."
Ying continued, "Take the medal I gave you and go to the Lake of Anger Rockets base in Kaji City, Chengdu region. Bring me something back. Someone will contact you then."
After saying that, he let out a heavy breath and stretched his body and walked into the cabin.
"Withered Leaf City." Holding the alliance's identity card and human skin mask in his hand, Aoki's eyes flashed as he watched the shadows gradually disappearing after completing the task.
No wonder the Rockets' trial island has never been discovered by the alliance. As the gymnasium of Ma Zhishi, one of the three leaders of the Rockets, Kuye City must have been secretly helping to cover up some small actions.
The three top leaders of the Rockets are Ma Zhishi who is based in Dry Leaf City, Na Zi who is in Golden City, and Aju who is in Light Red City. They are Sakaki's three deepest nails in the league.
Among them, A'ju from Light Red City is the most powerful. When the Quartz Alliance in the Kanto region was completely divided into the Kanto region and the Chengdu region, A'ju sat on the throne of the future Poison King of the Chengdu region. It can be said that he is the biggest in Sakaki.
One of the internal pillars of the alliance.
Although Ma Zhishi and Na Zi did not reach the level of Ah Ju in the end, as they were both three cadres, their strength was not much weaker than Ah Ju's.
Even Na Zi, who has the title of Super Queen, may not be able to defeat Na Zi in a 6v6 all-out battle. After all, the super power system can restrain the poison system.
Moreover, as a ninja, Ah Ju is best at sneak attacks and assassinations. In head-on combat, Na Zi, whose superpower talent is comparable to that of a king-level elf, is still far behind.
As for Ma Zhishi, unlike Na Zi and Ah Ju, his strongest point lies in the command of group battles. Among the three, he is the best at commanding a large number of people to conduct legionary wars, just like a general commanding an army.
Therefore, the three of them have their own strengths and are listed as the three leaders of Team Rocket.
