Two tall figures stood at the entrance of the naval academy: one with a conspicuous tuft of red rooster feathers on his head, and the other an exceptionally burly man.
Looking at this bizarre duo, it's hard not to attract attention. No wonder that strangers who have never met them before were able to accurately identify their names in the crowd.
"Hai, someone's here to pick us up, let's go!"
Gary, standing next to Zhao Hai, didn't have such a rich array of emotions as Zhao Hai. He was very happy to see someone come to pick them up and pulled Zhao Hai over.
"Are you two the students selected for the elite class this time?"
When Zhao Hai and Gary came to his side, Granter, who had a tuft of red hair on his head, secretly sized them up.
"That's right! That's us."
Gary replied, his tone filled with intense excitement.
However, Zhao Hai had no interest in dealing with Gurant, who was so arrogant and whose face seemed to perfectly embody the phrase "I am a genius." He didn't give Gurant a friendly look and simply ignored him.
"you……"
The hot-tempered Gurant was also provoked by Zhao Hai's attitude and made a move to beat Zhao Hai up.
He has always been praised as a top genius who could potentially surpass the Four Emperors of the Sea. When has he ever been ignored like this?
Gulant was furious when Zhao Hai disrespected him in front of so many people.
"Grant, our teacher is waiting for us. Let's not keep him waiting too long."
Burnham spoke up at the right moment, which temporarily calmed Grant's anger. He snorted coldly and stormed off.
Let's go!
Seeing Grant leave suddenly, Burnham scratched his head in confusion, but still obeyed his teacher's orders and led the way for Zhao Hai and the others.
Walking down the quiet corridor, Zhao Hai was still unconsciously drawn to the carved beams and painted rafters all around him.
The building appears unremarkable from the outside, resembling a fortress, but inside lies a breathtakingly beautiful and poetic landscape, truly awe-inspiring.
"such a pity!"
Seeing Gary completely absorbed in the excitement of joining the Navy, oblivious to the strange sights around him, Zhao Hai thought to himself, "What a pity."
"The teacher is inside, please go in!"
After a short while, after passing through several corridors, Burnham suddenly stopped, pointed ahead, and said to Zhao Hai and the others.
teacher?
Grand, who had a fiery temper, immediately calmed down when he heard the word "teacher." He was genuinely curious about who the teacher of this elite naval class was.
The Warring States Period of Buddhism?
At this moment, Zhao Hai was also very curious about who this "teacher" was.
Following Burnham's directions, Zhao Hai saw that it was an ordinary office.
This office is located between two classrooms and, from the outside, looks to be no more than fifty square meters in size.
"Bang bang..."
Zhao Hai was unusually polite this time, knocking on the door and waiting outside.
"Please come in..."
A calm voice, devoid of any air of superiority, emanated from inside the office.
"Squeak—"
Zhao Hai slowly pushed open the somewhat old-looking wooden door in front of him.
As soon as Zhao Hai entered, he immediately recognized the old man sitting steadily at his desk, writing something.
That's right!
He was just an old man; Zhao Hai saw that the person sitting there was just an ordinary old man.
An ordinary, old-fashioned desk, and clothes that made him look like an old farmer from the countryside—Zhao Hai almost thought he had wandered into the wrong scene or come to the wrong place.
After all, the old man's appearance was quite different from the image of the old admirals in the navy in Zhao Hai's mind, whose faces were resolute and unyielding even in their twilight years.
However, when Zhao Hai saw the pendant with the character "豚" (pig) engraved on it around the old man's neck, his expression froze.
Chaton is a Vice Admiral in the Navy Headquarters and also one of the candidates for Admiral in the Navy Headquarters.
This is an extremely mysterious figure even within the Navy Headquarters. He rarely takes action, so few people know just how strong he truly is. In short, he is a mysterious old man.
Having learned of the opponent's strength, Zhao Hai dared not act recklessly and stood quietly to the side like a well-behaved child, waiting.
"You are Caribbean Sea and Gary, the elite cadets selected by the Naval Academy this time."
A moment later, Teacher Chaton stopped writing, slowly raised her head, and looked at Zhao Hai, who was standing there obediently, and Gary, who looked nervous.
"Yes!"
Zhao Hai and Gary said in unison.
"Yes, they are both very good children, and they are the future pillars of our navy. From now on, you are part of our navy."
Teacher Chatun looked at Zhao Hai and the others and nodded in satisfaction.
As soon as Teacher Chatun finished speaking, a long-lost and pleasant voice rang in Zhao Hai's ears.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed the main mission - Join Marineford, and can now activate level 50 unlimited upgrades. Please check your account."

"Controlling the increase in force is really difficult, hehe..."
When Zhao Hai heard the notification from the system Xiao Jin and saw that his attributes had unknowingly increased by 5 levels, he felt both helpless and happy.
"You should go to the college's accommodations first; Burnham will take you there from outside."
After looking Zhao Hai and Gary over, Teacher Chatun waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai and the others did not linger any longer and followed Burnham, who was waiting outside, to the accommodations arranged for them by the Naval Academy.
The room was large and well-equipped, but the only thing that annoyed Zhao Hai was that the dormitory was a double room. In the end, Zhao Hai had no choice but to reluctantly choose to share a dormitory with Gary.
After all, in this vast Naval Headquarters, Gary is the only person Zhao Hai can trust and respect for the time being.
……
At this moment, in Teacher Chatun's office.
“bele…bele…”
The sound of Den Den Mushi (snail phone) kept ringing throughout the office.
"Haha... Old man Tea Pig, how's that kid I introduced? He's not bad, is he?"
Just as Chaton-sensei answered the phone, a loud, boisterous laugh came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Old man Garp, are you talking about that boy named Caribbean Sea? He's quite good. Although his strength isn't very high, his foundation is indeed excellent."
In stark contrast to Vice Admiral Garp's rough and rugged manner, Chaton's voice was slow yet exuded the air of a master strategist who had everything under control.
"Oh... his name is Caribbean Sea, right? I can't remember his name."
Garp muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Wasn't he the one you introduced? How come you don't even know his name?"
Even with his excellent composure, Chaton-sensei couldn't help but lose his composure when he heard Garp's questioning whispers on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
……
It was another bright and sunny day, and Zhao Hai thought it would be a nice day off. But very early—only 12 o'clock in the morning—Gary dragged Zhao Hai out of bed.
They said they were going to attend a speech by a leader at some kind of old "opening ceremony," and Gary said that some important naval figure would be speaking today, so Gary was incredibly excited.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't particularly interested. Unless it was a battle between a marshal or a major battle between the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters, it might be somewhat interesting. After all, Zhao Hai had absolutely no interest in motivational speeches or similar platitudes.
"It's just ahead, let's hurry over!"
Gary pointed to a spot not far ahead and urged them on.
Looking up, one can see an enormous playground and a huge platform in the middle made of massive stones.
