Elder brother's garrison

"Huh? Huh? Huh... Huh..."

As Xiaobai and the other two were talking, more and more admirals appeared on the beach.

As soon as the admirals arrived at the 8-2 sea area, they all turned their attention to Xiaobai and his group in the middle of the beach. Their eyes swept around and finally converged on Roma, who was standing not far from Xiaobai.

"Hey hey hey, you're here!"

"Is this the special ship girl from yesterday? Hehe... As expected of a special ship girl, her appearance and demeanor are indeed outstanding. I just wonder how strong she is in combat."

"The Admirals' Guild previously forbade us from contacting these two admirals. Now that they've finally set out on their expedition, I can't let this opportunity to observe them slip by!"

"Wow, when I turned around, it was all familiar faces."

Are all the admirals who qualified for 8-2 here? What about the top ten admirals?

"The top ten admirals cleared 8-2 a few days ago and are now on their way to 8-3. They've probably heard the news and are rushing here... Heh, after all, this is the first special ship girl. Even the top ten admirals won't miss out on this excitement. I'm really curious about the legendary claim that it can overturn the combat power of ship girls... Today we should find out whether the special ship girl is just hype or really that awesome."

"Should we send some ship girls to follow along later?"

"We definitely have to send them."

"..."

As soon as the admirals on the beach arrived, they surrounded the tent where Xiaobai and his group were.

The atmosphere around us gradually began to resemble a sea of ​​people...

"Xiaobai, what should we do? It seems like there are more and more people watching." Nia looked around nervously, grabbed Xiaobai's hand, and said to her hurriedly.

"It's alright, the more the better." Compared to Nia's nervousness, Xiaobai and Luo Lian seemed exceptionally calm. "Let's send even more people."

"The more people, the better?" Nia was stunned, looking confused. "W-what do you mean?"

"Xiao Bai, we have enough people." Just then, Luo Lian glanced at the admirals around her and said to Xiao Bai, "We should be able to begin now."

"Okay!" Xiaobai agreed and walked into the tent with a smile.

A short while later, the tent was opened.

Xiao Bai came out carrying a flagpole taller than herself, with a white cloth tied to it, and there seemed to be some ink stains on the cloth.

Xiaobai stepped out of the tent and waved to Saratoga beside her.

"Saratoga, can you come here for a second?"

"Hmm?" Saratoga blinked, then quickly moved closer to Little White, staring curiously at the flagpole in Little White's arms. "Little White, what's this?"

“This is something we’ll need later. You’re the best here, so you’ll carry it.” Little White handed the flagpole to Saratoga and said with a smile, “Take it and hold it up in front of everyone, so they can all see what’s written on it.”

“Oh? Oh oh…” Saratoga looked up at the fabric on the flagpole, but unfortunately the fabric was layered and the words on it were illegible.

Saratoga looked at the smiling face of the little white dog. Although she was full of questions, Saratoga always listened to what the little white dog said.

Saratoga then carried the flagpole to the back of the tent, where he faced the hundreds of admirals, and raised the flagpole high in his hands.

Just then, a sea breeze blew in.

The white cloth on the flagpole was blown open, turning into a white flag.

The moment they saw the white flag, all the admirals present, who had been discussing amongst themselves, were stunned. Their eyes widened as if they had seen something incredibly surprising.

On the white flag Saratoga was holding, four large, remarkably clear words were written in black paint.

—Martial Arts Tournament!

"A martial arts tournament...?" Saratoga looked up, finally able to make out the words on the flag, and was taken aback.

If Saratoga couldn't understand the words, then naturally the other admirals couldn't understand them either.

What does it say on this white flag?

"A martial arts tournament? What does that mean?"

"Huh? A martial arts contest?"

"What kind of martial arts competition..."

The admirals were completely bewildered by the flag and began whispering among themselves.

Just then, Luo Lian and Xiao Bai emerged from behind Saratoga. They smiled slightly as they looked at the bewildered admirals before them.

As things unfolded, it was almost exactly as Luo Lian had predicted.

"Hey! Little girl, what's the meaning of this martial arts tournament?!" An admiral called out to Xiaobai as she walked out, "Is this special ship girl yours? Or the one next to you with glasses? Or the one who hasn't come out yet??"

Xiao Bai pulled out the megaphone that Missouri had used before from behind his back.

The loudspeaker is on!

Turn the volume up to maximum!

Xiao Bai picked up the megaphone and coughed towards the microphone.

Lin Ba Wu Lin Jiu Jiu Qun "Cough cough".

Xiao Bai's voice, like a wild horse galloping across the sky, burst forth from the loudspeaker and echoed throughout the entire beach.

All the admirals' attention shifted to Xiaobai.

"Good morning, dear admirals." Seeing the admirals looking over, Xiaobai smiled and said, "Admirals, you must be here for the special ship girl, right?"

"Since you know that, bring out the special ship girls so we can have a look!"

"Yeah, yeah, let's see what they're made of!"

"What's wrong? You've been hiding it all this time, are you afraid that special ship girls can't be seen in public?"

The crowd immediately erupted in a noisy commotion.

"..." Xiao Bai smiled and looked at the crowd, calmly raising the megaphone, "Everyone, please don't rush. Please let me finish."

After the noise from the crowd in front of me subsided slightly.

Xiao Bai then raised his hand and pointed to the "Martial Arts Tournament" flag behind him.

"Fellow admirals, you should all have seen this flag, right?" Xiaobai said with a smile. "I know you admirals are very curious about special ship girls. You want to know about their appearance, equipment, stats, and even abilities... You want to know whether this one, who is hailed by the admiral's guild as one of the three super ship girls who can turn ordinary naval bases around, is truly deserving of the title, right?"

"..." The admirals stared wide-eyed at Xiaobai.

"So, since so many people are interested, it wouldn't be nice to keep declining." Xiaobai pointed to the flag behind him with one hand and held up a megaphone with the other, addressing the admirals, "So, I just talked with my friends, and we think it's definitely better to give everyone a chance to get to know the special ship girls! Therefore, we've decided that today, right now, we'll be holding a ship girl tournament right here on the beach at 8-2! We'll only be sending special ship girls, and every one of your ship girls will be our opponent. As long as you register in an orderly manner, you can all give your ship girls the opportunity to fight against the special ship girls!"

"Wow————"

As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, the beach erupted in a cacophony of voices.

"Holy crap!!! It really is a martial arts tournament!"

In an instant, thousands of fervent gazes from the admiral and the ship girls converged on Rome, as if they wanted to pierce through her completely.

Chapter 2683 The World's Number One Ship Girl Tournament

Xiaobai's words instantly ignited the passion of the admirals present.

Want to witness the charm of special ship girls?

Let's try it out with our own ship girls! We welcome all comers!

This kind of vision and demeanor surprised and broadened the horizons of the admirals present.

"Goodness! Let's take on the entire chapter! Alright! Count me in!"

"I'm signing up! I'm signing up!"

"Isn't this much more interesting than just peeping from the sidelines?! I'm doing it too!"

"Wait a minute! I'll go back to the city and call my strongest ship girl over!"

"..."

For a time, the admirals on the beach in the 8-2 sea area were in high spirits.

The admirals who wanted to sign up for the martial arts tournament excitedly surrounded him, raising their hands high.

Just as the sea of ​​people formed by the admirals was about to engulf Xiaobai, a black shadow flashed forward and blocked Xiaobai from the admirals.

"If you want to fight against special ship girls, please line up to sign up first. Note that you have to line up." Luo Lian said calmly to the admirals in front of her, holding a large notebook in her hands. "We only fight against admirals who follow the rules. Please don't waste our time, other admirals."

Upon hearing Luo Lian's words, the admirals present were all taken aback.

The next second, the admirals lined up in front of Luo Lian in a flash.

"Hey! I was here first, you pushed me!"

"What do you mean by first or last? I was clearly in front of you!"

"You stepped on my foot!"

"What's the rush? It'll be your turn sooner or later!"

"..."

The admirals of Chapter 2684 formed a long line amidst a commotion, their long, serpentine ranks winding their way across the beach like a snake wagging its tail.

Luo Lian ignored the noisy admirals. She simply beckoned behind her, and a ship girl carried out a set of tables and chairs from the tent and placed them next to Luo Lian.

Luo Lian opened the notebook and laid it flat on the table without expression, then took out a pen and sat down in the chair.

"This is the registration area now. The first admiral in line can come up now," Luo Lian said softly, glancing up at the admirals queuing in front of her.

"Me! Me! Me!" A commander ran forward excitedly.

"Name?"

"A passerby!"

"gender."

"male."

"The name of the garrison."

"Passerby A, Garrison Commander!"

What is the world's top-ranked admiral?

One hundred and twenty-eight!

Do you have any criminal record?

"Uh... does this have anything to do with the martial arts tournament?" The first admiral looked puzzled.

"Just answer my question." Luo Lian gave him a cold look.

"No, no, no, no!" The first admiral immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.

Please also report the information about the ship girls at home.

"..."

Luo Lian acted like a ruthless information registration officer, asking about the information of every admiral who came to register.

Just when the admirals thought Luo Lian was going to investigate the third generation, Luo Lian finally nodded and turned a page of the notebook she was writing in.

"Next person."

"Me! Me! Me!" The second admiral hurriedly pushed aside the first one and ran to Luo Lian.

"Name."

"Passerby B!"

"..."

Because Xiaobai had said that she would only let special ship girls fight against admirals who followed the rules, the admirals queuing up were exceptionally well-behaved.

One by one, the admirals obediently registered in front of Luo Lian, then squatted on the nearby beach waiting for the registration to end.

Before anyone knew it, as registration progressed, the number of admirals gathering on the beach grew larger and larger...

……

Just as registration was in full swing on the beach.

At the same time, inside the Admiral's Guild.

Luo Yingying, who had just started work, sat in her office and made herself a cup of coffee.

"Phew—finally a beautiful day." Luo Yingying looked at the coffee cup on the table, her gaze fixed on the rising steam. A relaxed and relieved smile appeared on her beautiful face. She picked up the coffee cup with both hands and took a small sip. "Mmm—a day without Admiral Lu Lin is so relaxing."
