I almost forgot that Garp is also a civilian. If he wants to join the navy, his most likely option is to go to the nearest 153rd branch. "You are a naval lieutenant now, so stop using foul language!" Rhode scolded him unhappily, then explained with a smile, "Vice Admiral Garp returns to the East China Sea every one or two years. His hometown is Windmill Village in the Kingdom of Goa. He just happened to come back this year. You better behave yourself when you get there, and don't cause any trouble." "understand!" Loya nodded excitedly. "Colonel, I love you so much!" "roll!" Chapter 47: Sauron's Ambition Shieldstown, Harbor. The warships of the 32nd Division raised their sails.

Fenbudi and many other marines covered their eyes with their arms, crying loudly, and said goodbye to Iska reluctantly. I finally have a female companion, but we have to part ways so soon. Crying T﹏T! Iska stood in front of Loya with a sweet smile on his face: "Second Lieutenant Loya, I have learned a lot during the time I have worked with you. I hope I will have the opportunity to fight alongside you in the future!" "There will be a chance." Loya smiled and nodded. The girl has excellent talent in swordsmanship and a bright future. And as long as she remains in the navy system, they will meet again sooner or later. Roya gave a heartfelt blessing: "See you next time, I hope it will be at the Navy Headquarters." "Thank you!" Iska's eyes curved into crescents. As a sailor, if you have any aspirations, you will want to go to the Navy Headquarters, which is the holy place in the hearts of marines. "I'm leaving!" Iska boarded the warship. The coast was wailing. "Goodbye, Iska-chan!" "We will miss you!" "Woooooooo, cute Iska!" Finbudi and other marines burst into tears and kept waving to the warship, feeling as if they were thinking, "Swallow, how can I live without you?" Luo Ya shook his head speechlessly.

Can you be of some use? A moment later, at the Food pub. As the year draws to a close, the pub becomes much busier than usual. "Lieutenant Loya is here!" "Lieutenant Loya has captured so many pirates this time, he will definitely get a promotion, right?" "Of course!" When the drinkers saw Luoya coming, they greeted him warmly with admiration in their eyes. A few of the sly regulars even winked at Luoya and Lilixiang at the bar. Oh, naked jealousy! Luoya responded with a smile, then went to sit at the table by the window. Sitting opposite him was Zoro who was eating rice. This time, Zoro failed to catch the pirate, which means he has no income. He can't even take a coin out of his huge pocket, so he can only follow him and eat and drink for free. Seeing that Loya was staring at him, Zoro put down his bowl and chopsticks uncomfortably, and said calmly in a dress: "Don't worry, I will return the money to you." "I'm not here to collect debts." Luo Ya straightened his face. "What do you think? Do you want to practice with me?" "I" Zoro's face was full of struggle. After arriving in Shields Town, he took the initiative to say goodbye to Loya, but he was penniless and had nowhere to go, and there were no pirates to catch in the town. At night, he lay outside the tavern to rest, which was somewhat conspicuous. When Loya heard the news, he rushed over, took him to the tavern for a big meal, and gave him money to stay in the hotel next door. Of course, he didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so the money for food and accommodation was just a loan, and he would definitely pay it back to Luoya in the future. Afterwards, Loya invited him to stay and practice together. Zoro was very grateful. He could feel that Loya valued him and wanted him to join the navy. He is not averse to the navy. It should be said that no normal person would hate the navy, after all, the navy protects this sea area. There is nothing wrong with being a navy officer catching pirates, but he is used to being alone and is not very adaptable to the navy's rules and regulations. And if I join the navy, I won't be able to look for that man. Zoro hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "My dream is to become the world's number one swordsman!" “It’s a nice dream.” Luo Ya raised his eyebrows slightly: "Since you have such a lofty dream, you should seize the time to focus on training. Being busy with your livelihood as a pirate hunter will only make you further away from your goal."

"I" Zoro couldn't find any reason to refute. During the time on the Loya ship, he didn't have to think about anything. He immersed himself in high-intensity training every day and could clearly feel his own progress. In the six months before this, his first priority was to catch pirates for bounty and fill his stomach, so he didn't have much time to practice. As for becoming stronger through fighting. He had indeed encountered a few powerful opponents, but they were only powerful enough. Those pirates were not as strong as Kuina. How can he become stronger if he continues like this! "Don't think too much, you are still young." Loya stared at Zoro and gave him sincere advice: "There is only one thing you need to do now, and that is to practice hard and make yourself stronger." "Without strength, you are not even qualified to talk about your dreams." “Keep your eyes on the present.” "As for how to go in the future, that's a matter for the future. No one can force you, not even me." Keep your eyes on the present! Zoro raised his head, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes. Roya smiled and added: "By the way, there are countless swordsmen in the navy, and there are countless sword masters who can cut iron. If you can't even defeat them, you are not qualified to challenge that man." "Stronger than Iska?" Zoro couldn't help but ask. When he was on the warship, he actually wanted to challenge Iska, but the other party was a woman. Loya shook his finger in amusement. "A hundred times stronger than her!" ".!" Zoro stood up suddenly, exuding amazing fighting spirit: "Let me get on your ship, but I have to be frank, I have no plans to join the navy for the time being, but in return, I will help you fight!" "it is good." Loya smiled and nodded. More haste less speed. He was in no hurry to recruit Zoro. There were still four years before Luffy set out to sea, and there was plenty of time to build a friendship with Zoro. Tie up Sauron by your side first. "Meet at the port tomorrow morning." "no problem!"

"Wait, there's a problem!" Loya suddenly thought that if he let Zoro go to the port by himself, he might still be lost by night. "Come on, I'll send you to live on the warship. You stay on the warship tonight and don't go anywhere. How about you live in the cell?" "." Veins popped up on Zoro's forehead. Who would get lost on such a short journey? Early the next morning, more than 153 navy officers from the rd branch gathered at the port, and Loya's promotion letter was approved. Military rank: Major! Upgrade three levels in a row! Having wiped out more than a dozen pirate groups, he had already accumulated a lot of military merit, and defeating the Buggy Pirate Group was an even greater achievement. Catching pirates is the quickest way to get promoted. But if you want to get promoted again after that, the difficulty will increase tenfold. For the marines in the East China Sea, the colonel level is basically the ceiling. At the port, the marines lined up neatly, waiting for Loya to arrive, and then yelled at the top of their lungs as if it was an agreement. "Major Loya!" The entire town of Shields was almost shaken away. "Well, hard work." Loya nodded with a smile on his face. Very good, very energetic! He is worthy of being the soldier he picked! "Sail!" Windmill Village. The dog-head warship slowly approached the shore. "Vice Admiral Garp is back!" The villagers were pleasantly surprised. Thanks to Garp's deterrence, Windmill Village had been able to maintain peace over the years. Even pirates who were not sure of their destination did not dare to attack Windmill Village. Kap is the patron saint of Windmill Village! The news of Garp's return spread quickly throughout the village. In Makino's tavern, Luffy and Ace were drinking secretly. They hunted a big wild boar and sent half of it here to thank Makino for taking care of them. When the two heard Karp's name.

"Pfft~" The drinks sprayed on each other's faces at the same time. The two men didn't even bother to wipe the dirt and rushed towards the door without thinking. The instinct for survival prompted them to flee! "Oh!" The door of the pub was violently pushed open. A burly man appeared in front of the two.
