Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 6 Jealousy Made Me Unrecognizable

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

"The Black Cat Pirates have reappeared!"

Early in the morning, the atmosphere in Branch 153 was extremely oppressive.

The Black Cat Pirates raided a village near the branch headquarters again, but the branch was powerless to stop them.

By the time Colonel Rod arrived with his team, the Black Cat Pirates had vanished without a trace, not even the tail of their pirate ship was visible, leaving only a devastated town.

Fortunately, the villagers saw the pirates arrive and hid in the mountains early.

New recruit training ground.

Loya ran at an unusually steady pace, overtaking the other newcomers and quickly leaving them behind.

Several people complained bitterly.

"Damn it, how many laps have we been overtaken?"

"Two laps, no, three laps!"

"Doesn't that kid get tired?"

"Forget it, let's run slowly."

In just over half a month, while they were still in the adaptation phase, Loya had already easily completed the basic training and was about to catch up with the veterans.

Is it really necessary to work this hard?!

Lately, the instructors have been looking at them with disdain, just like how their parents used to look at them when they were kids.

It's awful!

Not only did the newcomers feel the pressure, but the veterans also felt increased pressure. It's not a pleasant feeling to be outdone by a newcomer.

In the afternoon, after finishing their chores, Loya and Fenbuddy hid on the rooftop, smoking and enjoying the most leisurely time of the day.

Finbuddy stared at Loya, making Loya feel a little uneasy.

"what?"

"Aren't you pushing yourself too hard, kid?"

"Is there?"

Loya was taken aback.

We've only just begun.

Even including the extra training in the "world," his total training volume was only twice that of a regular marine.

We are far from achieving our goal of 200 times the target.

Koby joined the Navy at the age of 16, was promoted to Sergeant Major in half a year, and mastered the "Shave" technique from the Six Powers, which is a secret technique that ordinary people cannot use due to their physical abilities.

Not to mention those monsters with amazing physical talents, who are ten or a hundred times stronger than him even without systematic training.

Are you afraid of taking bullets with your bare hands?

Loya didn't feel like he was working that hard; on the contrary, he felt it wasn't nearly enough. His body was just that of an ordinary person, so what else could he do besides cultivate diligently?

Devil Fruit?

With his current abilities, unless he gets incredibly lucky and finds one, he has no chance of obtaining one through other means.

Fombard patted Loya on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Loya, I'm worried you'll ruin your body!"

"Thank you, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Loya smiled and thanked him.

Without the "world" to back him up, his training might have indeed ruined his body; he understands the importance of balancing work and rest.

But time waits for no one.

The world is his greatest asset in becoming stronger, and his only advantage over others. If he cannot make full use of it, he will definitely blame himself in the future.

The topic became a bit heavy.

Fombey stood up, leaned against the low wall, and looked down at the training ground. Suddenly, he said, "You'll be taking the recruit assessment at the end of the month, right?"

"certainly."

Loya did not hide anything.

That was indeed his plan; becoming a full-fledged marine sooner would allow him to participate in more training programs sooner.

For example, physical skills, swordsmanship, and marksmanship.

And there's real-world application!

Physical training is just the foundation; combat is the best way to transform oneself.

Fenbdi sighed. After spending half a month together, he had come to regard Loya as a friend. He could tell that Loya was unwilling to remain in this ordinary branch.

Given Loya's level of effort, even if he lacks talent, it's only a matter of time before he makes a name for himself, and he might even be able to enter the Marine Headquarters in the future.

But the current situation is really bad.

"Loya, if I were you, I'd rather not become a full-fledged Marine as long as possible."

"You mean the Black Cat Pirates?"

"That's right."

"."

Loya fell silent.

The Black Cat Pirates are entrenched in the waters under the jurisdiction of Branch 153, and their influence is growing stronger. Captain Kuro's bounty has reached a staggering 1600 million Berries.

There are very few great pirates in the entire East Blue with a bounty exceeding 1500 million Berries.

The branch didn't lack the will to fight Crow, but rather the ability to do so; even Colonel Rhodes, the base commander, was no match for Crow.

But the responsibilities the Navy bears force the 153rd Branch to take down the Black Cat Pirates, even if it means repeating the tragedy of the last time!

Therefore, once you become a full-fledged Marine, you may face the Black Cat Pirates at any time, and with the strength of an ordinary Marine, the probability of death is extremely high.

Loya understood the hidden meaning in Finch's words.

If you become a full-fledged Marine later, the chances of facing the Black Cat Pirates directly will be lower.

On one hand, the Black Cat Pirates might leave the seas under the jurisdiction of Branch 153 to compete for larger territory, or even enter the Grand Line.

On the other hand, as Captain Crowe's reputation grows, headquarters may send powerful figures to subdue him.

The problem is that Captain Crook's bounty needs to reach at least 2000 million Berries to attract the attention of the Navy Headquarters.

2000 million is the line!

"Dige, I won't stop!"

Loya's gaze gradually hardened.

After transmigrating to this world, he kept recalling the information about the East China Sea, and there was one thing he remembered very clearly.

Kro will not leave the East China Sea.

In addition, within two years at most, Kuro will attack the 153rd branch's warship and kill all the marines on board by himself, leaving only Monka, in order to carry out his retirement plan.

If he slacks off and fails to grow stronger than Kuro within two years, he will most likely become one of the marines killed by him.

Even if they are lucky enough to escape this calamity, they will still have to face Monka's dark rule.

Running away won't help!

Once you become a Marine in Branch 153, you will inevitably face this challenge. The only way to survive is to become stronger as quickly as possible, stronger than Kuro!

Before joining the branch, he had considered whether to go to other naval bases, but the navigation environment in this world was extremely bad, and he simply couldn't leave this island.

It's fine to wander around the nearby waters, but if you want to go further afield, you need to apply to the government, otherwise you can easily be regarded as a pirate!

He didn't want to be a pirate, because not only would his life be precarious, but he would also be despised by the world and have no social standing whatsoever.

Furthermore, even if one goes to another branch, one cannot escape danger.

"King of the East Sea" Krieg, "Fishman" Arlong, "Clown" Bucky.

These powerful pirates, with bounties exceeding 1500 million, are entrenched throughout the East Blue. Each one is no less formidable than Kuro. If he wants to rise above others, he will inevitably have to face them.

long silence.

Loya sensed something was amiss and frowned, asking, "What about you? Aren't you also taking the graduation exam? Aren't you worried?"

"I told you, I'm not like you."

With a grin, Finbdy shook his finger and boasted in a serious tone, "I have connections. It won't be long before I'm transferred to Marine Headquarters."

"."

Damn it, that bastard deserves to die!

Jealousy completely changed Loya.

He trained relentlessly, all for the sake of going to the Navy Headquarters. The Headquarters was the starting point for his rise to prominence; what future could he have staying in the East China Sea?

As a result, that bastard got to go to Marine Headquarters without doing anything.

I hate people with connections the most!

Having put on a show in front of Loya, Fombardy was in a good mood, as refreshing as drinking an ice cream on a hot summer day.

"Hey, don't be sullen, come on, I'll teach you to dance!"

"Teach me to dance?"

Loya was emanating a black aura.

"Heh, heh heh!"

"You bastard Fender, do you think you're so great? Don't underestimate me, I'm not the same person I was just two weeks ago!"

"Let's have a dance battle!"

The loser has to wash the other person's underwear!

"Today I'm going to show you what real dance skills are!"

After half an hour.
