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

Chapter 62 The Final Practical Training

"Bang!"

The office door was slammed shut.

"You bastard!!!"

Murak's eyes were bloodshot. He angrily overturned his desk and began smashing things around the office.

I was in a state of impotent rage for a long time.

Murak finally calmed down.

"You'll regret this, Loya!"

However, there's still no good solution.

A little internal strife within the branch is fine; it won't stop him from accumulating wealth. But if Loya is released, it won't be long before the entire town of Rogue is in turmoil.

Murak picked up the Den Den Mushi.

"Ciro!"

"Sir Brigadier General."

"Report to the higher-ups that Major Loya has seriously disrupted the order of Loguetown, and jointly request that Major Loya be transferred to another branch!"

"clear!"

Murak hung up the phone with a gloomy expression.

If you can't afford to mess with them, can't you at least avoid them?

The major is a backbone of the branch, especially someone like Loya who rose to the position through merit. Even though he is the base commander, he cannot punish Loya without authorization.

However, accusations of disrupting discipline can still be leveled. All the officers in the branch are his men, and public opinion can be overwhelming. He's not afraid of headquarters sending people to investigate.

If you have to blame someone, blame that kid for not fitting in!

On the other side, in Loya's office.

Loya crossed his legs, contemplating his next move.

Having broken ties with Murak, he had to be prepared for retaliation. He wasn't worried about force, but he had to guard against Murak using underhanded tactics.

Now, he has established some prestige in the branch, and at least two hundred new recruits will stand on his side.

It's barely enough.

Murak wanted to kill him, and he wanted to kill Murak!

But getting rid of Murak is far from enough to rise in rank. There are many officers in the branch with higher seniority than him, so he won't get a chance no matter how you look at it. Besides, those guys are all in cahoots.

Unless, we wipe them all out!

"Finbuddy, Zango!"

Loya rested his chin on his hands and said with a deep gaze, "You two secretly go to Cocoyasi Village and find that orange-haired girl named Nami."

"Yes, Major."

The two exchanged a glance.

They remembered Nami; they were there when Nami asked the major for help, and they knew about the situation in Cocoyasi Village.

Is the major preparing to take action against the Arlong Pirates?

Loya said in a deep voice, "That girl is very smart. Don't underestimate her. Do everything according to my plan. If you can't gain her trust, go back immediately, because she might betray you."

"clear!"

The two felt a chill run down their spines.

Although I don't think a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl could be scheming, the major's emphasis must be correct.

Time passed day by day.

Like the calm before a storm, the branch fell into an eerie silence.

The recruits were filled with anxiety. Even the most oblivious among them knew how outrageous Instructor Loya's actions were and how likely they were to provoke a joint retaliation from the other officers.

They trusted their instructor and didn't want him to fall into infighting.

New recruit training camp.

More than 900 veterans buried themselves in training, and many of them were extremely dissatisfied with Loya, even harboring hatred and resentment.

However, a large number of marines were also inspired. These veterans knew the situation of the branch better than anyone else.

In the past, even outstanding performance was useless if you wanted a promotion. Maintaining a good relationship with your superiors was more important than personal performance.

With upward mobility blocked by nepotism, over time, few veterans are willing to spend time improving themselves.

But Major Loya's assertiveness and Brigadier General Murak's concession gave these old men hope.

The navy is a military organization.

The most distinctive feature of armed organizations is their reverence for the strong.

If they had to choose, they would rather follow a capable man like Major Loya than that gorilla who only knows how to eat bananas!

What they need to do now is catch up with the pace, leave the recruit camp as soon as possible, and go to another training ground to receive instruction from Major Loya.

Two weeks later, at the branch training ground.

In addition to more than 200 new recruits, the number of veterans has also increased to more than 300.

They already had a foundation, so it was essentially a matter of retraining, and the outstanding veterans quickly caught up with the pace.

Training ended in the evening.

When it came to the entertainment time that the newcomers looked forward to the most, unfortunately, Lieutenant Finbdi and Lieutenant Zango were not at the branch recently. Compared to the two of them, Instructor Loya's dancing skills were slightly inferior.

Of course, no one would be stupid enough to bring that up.

"Instructor, what are we doing today?"

"today."

Loya was no longer as relaxed as before; his deep gaze fell upon the warship beside the training ground, as if he saw blood and death.

"Today, we're going for a ride on a warship!"

"."

There was a moment of silence.

"Yay!!!"

The new recruits jumped up excitedly!

Every marine doesn't want to go on a warship.

Loya's gaze darkened slightly as he turned and walked towards the area where the veterans were resting: "You guys come too, show the new recruits how the warship operates."

"Yes, Instructor Loya!"

The veterans responded loudly.

In just over half a month, they finally understood why the recruits were so brave. With such monstrous instructors setting an example, it would be strange if the recruits didn't work hard.

They were really envious of these newcomers!

Under the command of veterans, the two warships, each carrying 100 new recruits, sailed along the river toward the sea.

The warship did not stray too far from Roggetown; it merely circled the island before returning to the branch.

Even so, the new recruits were quite satisfied.

But the surprises weren't over yet.

The next day, at three in the morning.

"Beep~~"

A sharp whistle echoed downstairs in the dormitory building!

The new recruits, who were still asleep, suddenly woke up, jumped out of bed, grabbed their clothes, and ran downstairs. In less than three minutes, more than two hundred people had assembled downstairs.

"Instructor?"

The recruits looked at Loya with blank stares.

It's not even dawn yet; isn't it a bit too early to start training?

Loya's expression was solemn, and the cloak of justice behind him fluttered in the wind.

"Through this period of rigorous training, each of you has performed exceptionally well. I am now very proud to announce that you have graduated!"

"."

The new recruits were greatly shocked.

Have they graduated?

This is too sudden! Even though they knew this day would come soon, they were still completely unprepared.

Loya said in a deep voice, "Today, you will be on your final training mission as recruits, following me out to sea to fight crime!"

"The enemies you are about to face are ruthless pirates and unforgivable opportunists; their strength will far exceed your imagination!"

"Be mentally prepared for death!"

"This will be real combat!"

Live-fire training!

The new recruits felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and all sleepiness vanished.

Excitement, exhilaration, and trepidation!

Their initial motivation for joining the Navy was to fight pirates and evil, and when this moment arrived, everyone's feelings were indescribable.

But one thing is certain.

They longed for this day to come!

Loya scanned everyone and said with unusual calm, "Anyone who wants to quit can go back to sleep now and will not be punished."

"Bang!"

All the new recruits straightened their chests in unison, pressed their feet together forcefully, and assumed the most standard military posture.

That's their answer!

"very good!"

Loya took a deep breath, his eyes burning with fire.

"I, Loya, hereby assure you that any marine who survives this combat training will receive the richest reward!"

Attention! Salute!

"For justice!"

"For justice!!!"

The cry for justice echoed throughout the branch!

Warships sail out to sea!
