Smoker was also one of the beneficiaries, and the navy instructors were also happy that there was such a good atmosphere among the trainees, so no one tried to stop it.

Dawn came back this time for the agreed reunion time, and also because it was now time for Tina and the others to start their formal training, which meant that Dawn and the others would follow the lieutenant admiral's ship for training.

Being able to gain experience on the sea is the best thing for Dawn, but what about those pirates in the North Sea?

Let Enel be the whetstone.

Chapter 114 West Sea

Time is like quicksand, and half a year passes in a flash.

On the sea, Dawn and others are training hard.

Although there had been speculations before, Dawn never expected that the experience in the first half of the Grand Line would be led by Kuzan, one of the future three admirals.

Not to mention the influence of Dawn's background, after all, if it were just one person, there would be better ways to place them. But letting Aokiji lead the team also indirectly shows that the top navy officials recognize and value the potential of Tina, Sora, Xiuen and others.

During the past six months, Dawn and the others have encountered all kinds of strange weather and pirates with strange abilities, but with Aokiji's support, it can be said that they all got a good experience.

I can even feel how huge the gap is between myself and before the training.

This is what is called the old leading the new. Dawn and others are now soldiers and combatants under Aokiji. As soldiers, Dawn and others will obey Aokiji's orders unconditionally no matter what tasks he has.

But what is disappointing is that after this year's New Year, it has become difficult to work under Kuzan.

Before this, it was just because Aokiji was in charge of the first half of the Grand Line to suppress pirates, so he pulled Dawn and others over to do hard labor and protect safety. It was a convenient thing to do, and Dawn and others were much stronger than ordinary soldiers, which just fits Aokiji's lazy intention.

Thanks to Aokiji, Dawn and the others have such a good-tempered nanny...ah, bodyguard.

As for Kizaru and Akainu, I heard that they each have their own suppressed sea areas, but I am not sure about the details.

However, the biggest gain is still about Haki, because it is no secret that Dawn has mastered Observation Haki, so Aokiji has been the best Haki teacher for them in the past six months.

One month before the New Year, the ship that had been sailing continuously finally stopped on this deserted island to repair and rest after everyone's vote, and to practice smoothly.

It is also necessary to be able to summarize and organize after the battle.

Now, although it is New Year's Day, Dawn and others have to spend it on this hot summer island because of the long distance from the Navy Headquarters.

After ending the call with his mother, Ravna, Dawn looked at Tina and the others who were being beaten for practicing Observation Haki, and couldn't help but smile with glee.

However, the thing about Observation Haki is that it focuses more on the cultivation of the spiritual level, so until now no one has mastered Observation Haki. At most, they have some clues to lay the foundation.

As for Armament Haki, Dawn had not mastered it even under Aokiji's guidance, he just had a deeper understanding of it.

Stepping on the soft sand, he controlled his ability to pick a few coconuts and handed one to Kuzan, and the two started chatting next to Tina and others.

"Mr. Aokiji, where will we be assigned after this month is over?" Not only Dawn asked this question, but even Xiuen and others who were blindfolded in training couldn't help but prick up their ears.

"Snapped!"

"It hurts!!" Xiu En covered his hand and cried out.

Kuzan mercilessly hit Xiuen with a stick. The scream scared them so much that they quickly calmed down and listened to the movements around them, but they still pricked up their ears involuntarily.

"Ah, maybe it's one of the four seas." Kuzan said casually while yawning.

"Four Seas? Obviously, you'll encounter more powerful enemies on the Grand Line. Could it be the influence of my identity again?" Dawn thought doubtfully.

"But no one is following you anymore." As if seeing Dawn's doubt, Kuzan added casually to dispel Dawn's doubts.

If this is the case, then everything makes sense. The concepts of having a bodyguard and not having a bodyguard are completely different. For example, in the past six months, Dawn and others have encountered many opponents that they could not deal with, and in the end Aokiji had to take action.

It can be said that behind all previous battles there were top fighters acting as bodyguards. Although most of them were just incidental to completing the mission, it is undeniable that they did ensure the safety of Dwayne and others.

And before in the North Sea, Yuchimura was by his side, which to a certain extent made some well-informed and powerful pirates stay away from this "hard nut to crack".

Moreover, these people have become skilled enough in fighting in the past six months. What they need now to go around the world is more experience. Only by constantly experiencing various affairs can they become more mature mentally.

And once you're away from the nanny... ahem... after you become the boss, all the experiences including survival will require you to have enough food and clothing by yourself, and the danger level will also change from a greenhouse to a harsh environment, so this is what you need to pay most attention to.

Any mistake may endanger life, including some conspiracies and schemes.

But there are also advantages. First of all, the danger above the four seas is limited to a certain range, and Dawn has the Observation Haki so he will hardly be crushed by others.

Another thing is that you can move freely, even if it is a naval branch on an island in the world, you will have more freedom in choice.

After realizing this, Dawn put the matter behind him and started preparing today's food.

....

It was only a few months after the year 1503.

Location: West Sea.

Early in the morning, a warship sailed towards the West Sea, and the branch leaders were already waiting on the shore to welcome the fleet.

"I don't know who is on the ship, and the Commodore has to send someone to pick them up."

"I heard that a group of new soldiers came here for training?"

"I'm afraid he's the second generation of an official who is uneducated and unskilled."

Along with the whispers of the crowd, there were also people making dark speculations with malicious intent.

"Lieutenant General Kuzan, we're here." Sora shook Kuzan, who was sleeping soundly with an eye mask, with a helpless look on his face. Lieutenant General Kuzan was good in everything else except that he was a little lazy and loved to sleep too much.

"Ah~ah~Are we there yet? Let's go." Kuzan yawned with the eye mask on his forehead.

Kuzan was naturally the first to get off the ship. Although he looked lazy and sleepy, the epaulettes on his shoulders represented his rank of lieutenant general, which made people feel that it was natural for the brigadier general to send someone to greet him.

But as Dawn and the others got off the boat, the noise of discussion around them quickly grew.

"No way? Even though those guys are a little taller, they look like little devils."

"There are actually little girls here? And you see, their military rank is actually Warrant Officer!"

"That's nothing. Didn't you see that they were all warrant officers? The one in the middle of them is actually a lieutenant! He doesn't look that old!"

"It turns out that the people who came this time are some gilded second-generations, and they are escorted by a lieutenant general."

The navy men who came to greet them were talking a lot, and looked at Dawn and his companions with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

This is how it is in the military. People who rely on connections are looked down upon, and only strength is king.

With Dawn and his companions' good hearing, they naturally heard their discussion, not to mention that the so-called whispers were just loud enough for outsiders to hear.

However, Dawn still stopped the few people who wanted to attack, and after Kuzan got off the boat, he followed him all the way into the branch.

Before they could say anything, the colonel on the side scolded them with a gloomy face: "You undisciplined guys, who told you to whisper at will? Aren't you ashamed enough?"

"Colonel Lagu, there's nothing shameful about telling the truth."

"That's it."

Hearing the soldiers' rebuttal, Lagu sneered: "Do you really think he is just a gilded man? The one he is escorting is Lieutenant General Aokiji, the candidate for general."

"If you don't have that kind of potential and strength, who can command the future great men to escort you? Don't look at them as only teenagers. I'm afraid their strength is far beyond yours."

"If the leading lieutenant among them had not stopped you just now, I'm afraid you would all be lying down now! I asked the brigadier general, and most of them have mastered the six navy styles." Colonel Lagu said quietly, stroking his beard.

"What...what? How is this possible!?"

As the soldiers cried out in surprise, Colonel Lagu said sternly, "You have no discipline. It seems that I have been too lax with you. Now everyone must do thirty laps each!"

"No!!"

Raid【Free】

Dawn and the others naturally didn't know what happened afterwards, otherwise they would have been secretly happy.

But even if he didn't know, Dawn wouldn't care too much. However, Berigud, Sharinkul and others who just wanted to take action were a little unhappy.

"Dawn, why did you stop me just now? Otherwise, I would definitely teach those guys a lesson. Our military ranks are based on our actual combat achievements." Berrygood said angrily.

"There are so many people who doubt you. If you care about them one by one, then what else can you do? You will be here for a long time in the future. There is plenty of time for you to prove your strength." Dawn comforted.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Berigold suppressed his dissatisfaction and followed Dawn.

During the past six months, all the pirates that Aokiji did not take action against were counted as the achievements of Dawn and others. After six months, the average military rank of several people reached warrant officer.

As for Dawn, because his strength was far beyond theirs, he usually chose the captain of the opponent's ship, so his rank reached lieutenant.

"Hahaha, Kuzan, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's so hard to have you here this time, so we should catch up with each other." Ou An greeted Kuzan and others generously when he saw them coming.

He was wearing a black suit and a navy cape. He had a thick beard and rough facial lines, giving him a fierce look.

"Oh, are these the seedlings delivered this time? They look very good. It just so happens that the West Sea is short of manpower." Ou An's eyes lit up when he saw Dawn and others behind Kuzan. Naturally, he could see that these people were not just empty shells.

"Well, they are all very strong. As for reminiscing about the past, we have to hurry up. I will be leaving soon." Kuzan yawned.

"In such a hurry? Why don't you have lunch first?" Ou An asked.

"No, there is a task over there that I need to handle." Kuzan also looked helpless. This was too unfriendly to his lazy nature.

After a brief contact, Dawn turned to look at Aokiji: "We are going to visit the branch first, you two can chat slowly."

Dawn knew that Kuzan's time was precious so he chose to leave, leaving the remaining time for the two to reminisce about the past.

The adjutant in charge of leading the way led Dawn and the others to discuss the itinerary: "Well, it's probably time for dinner after the tour. We'll have dinner right after the tour and leave the restaurant for last."

"Okay." Several people nodded in approval of the adjutant's arrangement.

Dawn, Hawkins, Tina and others, led by the secretary, began to visit the naval branch.

The adjutant was a little fat, perhaps because he was a civilian. He introduced himself as Louis, and had been the adjutant of the branch for a long time, in charge of the branch's internal affairs.

However, although it was called a tour, I was actually just familiarizing myself with the location of the buildings in the branch. Even if the branch here was magnificent, it could not compare with the Navy Headquarters. However, getting familiar with the environment was also a necessary step, so I remembered most of it after one tour.

After walking around, Dawn became familiar with the adjutant, so Louis took a few people and walked towards the naval restaurant.

"Haha, I can't wait any longer." As a foodie, Sora could smell the fragrance in the house from where he was standing far away from the door and couldn't wait any longer.

In the navy restaurant, there are already many soldiers coming and going in the restaurant. After training for a whole morning, they eat voraciously, but they are already accustomed to this atmosphere.

The adjutant held the plate and said, "Uncle, give me more roujiamo. There are new recruits coming to report from the headquarters today. You have to entertain them well."

"Don't worry, we will definitely let them eat their fill."

"Roujiamo?" Dawn heard the two people's expressions were a little strange. He didn't expect that there was such a "Chinese" dish in the pirate world.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of meat in the restaurant, but he didn't expect it to be roujiamo. For a moment, Dwayne began to look forward to it.

The secretary brought a plate full of roujiamo and placed it on the table: "Don't be polite, eat it, this is our branch's unique cuisine!"
