One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Colonel Rhodes took a bunch of keys off the wall and tossed them to Loya: "These are your office and dormitory keys. Go take a look."

"Thank you, Colonel!"

Loya left happily.

He is now a naval ensign, with his own office and quarters, and no longer has to smell the stinky feet of other marines.

"Third floor."

Colonel Rhodes' office was on the top four floors of the tower, while his office was on the edge of the third floor.

Loya arrived at his office.

It's about forty square meters, fully equipped with a desk and sofa. Although it's a bit old, it's very clean, and standing by the window, you can see the training ground and Shells Town below.

The view is quite wide.

"Phew, that's the feeling."

Loya sat in the boss's chair, then put his legs up on the desk, put his hands behind his head, and lay down comfortably.

He had wanted to do this for a long time.

"Dong dong!"

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Finbdi pushed open the door and entered, accompanied by Zango, who had just returned from court.

"Lieutenant Loya!"

"No need to be so polite, sit down and talk."

The three of them sat down on the sofa.

The return of his dear friend brought a long-lost smile to F.F.'s face.

“Loya, the court has pardoned Zango from all his crimes and left it to our branch to handle. I just met with Colonel Rhodes with Zango, and he said it’s up to you to decide.”

"Ah."

Loya smiled and nodded, not surprised by the verdict in Zango's case.

Voluntarily joining the navy would indeed greatly help reduce one's crimes, especially since Zango had also made great contributions.

Loya looked at Zango.

"Congratulations, you have gained your freedom."

"Thank you."

Zango was not happy at all, and even felt somewhat lost.

Having been a pirate for so many years, his family is long gone, and he has completely forgotten what his hometown looks like.

Although he had gained his freedom, he had nowhere to go. Apart from going back to sea as a pirate, he really didn't know what else he could do.

Let's leave here first.

Zango stood up, ready to leave.

"Then I take my leave."

"Goodbye? Where do you want to go?"

Loya chuckled and looked at Finbuddy.

"Later, take Zango to collect his basic recruit rations. From today onwards, he is a recruit in Branch 153!"

"what!"

The two were both dumbfounded.

Finbdi looked pleased.

Zango slammed his fist on the table in frustration: "Hey, that's too despicable! Didn't you say you'd give me freedom? I don't want to be a navy officer!"

"Freedom doesn't mean you can run around recklessly; being in the navy is just as free."

Loya chuckled.

Freedom without order and moral constraints is bound to spiral out of control sooner or later, especially since he's short-handed.

"Finbotty, what are you planning to do?"

Loya turned to look at Finbdi, his expression more serious than ever before: "I know you want to go to headquarters to gain experience, but I assure you, if you stay under my command, you will definitely go much further in the future!"

"I"

Finbdi was stunned.

He knew that Loya wasn't just talking nonsense.

After spending more than half a year together, he was convinced that Loya would become a big shot, and that by following him, he would surely go further in the future, perhaps even surpassing his parents.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to be a good-for-nothing who relies on his parents' legacy.

"Hu~~"

After struggling for a long time, Finbuddy got up.

salute!

Sergeant Finbdy, reporting for duty!

Chapter 33 "The Nail Hand" Isca

A new day dawns, the weather is fine and sunny.

The warships of the 153rd branch sailed slowly on the sea.

"What a lovely day, isn't it, Finbdi?"

"That's right, the temperature is just right, and the humidity is just right. It's so comfortable that you want to dance, right? Thumbs up!"

On the deck of the warship, Zango and Fenbudi faced the sea breeze and shared their feelings. As they talked, the two of them jumped up.

Spin and jump!

"Boom! Boom!"

The fist slammed hard into the heads of the two men.

"Go to work quickly!"

Loya cursed irritably, his head throbbing.

The other officers' deputies were either exceptionally capable or strikingly beautiful; even the serious and profound types were quite intimidating.

Why is it that his two generals, like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, can't help but dance whenever they're happy?

The atmosphere on the ship is being corrupted.

Why not find another female singer to be the lead vocalist and form a navy band!

"Uta, the lead singer?"

Loya pondered that he had recently discovered that Fenbdi and Zango often listened to "Uta's" songs and even said that the other was the best singer in the world.

I wonder if it's the red-haired daughter from his memory. If it is, he might try to recruit her in the future.

While he was thinking, Linus ran up to Loya: "Reporting to Lieutenant Loya, we are about to arrive at Sirob Village."

"understood."

Loya was filled with anticipation.

What a surprise!

Half an hour later, in the bay on the south side of the island, at the Xiluobu family's dock.

It took Loya a long time to come to his senses when he saw the warship in front of him.

A brand new medium-sized warship!

Moreover, it was equipped with 24 cannons on both sides, and two heavy cannons at the bow, making its firepower stronger than that of the branch warships.

He can stand at the bow of the ship and show off now!

This is a fucking surprise!

Loya took out a Den Den Mushi and confirmed with Colonel Rhodes, "Colonel, is this new warship really for me?"

"That's right, aren't you surprised?"

"What a wonderful surprise!"

"Haha, that's a pleasant surprise."

Colonel Rhodes laughed, very pleased with Loya's reaction.

The branch had limited funds and was only equipped with an old warship, which made everything inconvenient.

He had long wanted to add another warship, and the last time he came to Xiluobu Village to see Mr. Xiluobu was about the warship.
