Pirate: I'm just slacking off, do you really think I'm a noob?

Raleigh, Gion Kake and others did not react in particular. The former had seen skyscrapers and the Forbidden City that were hundreds of meters high.

The latter has lived in the Navy Headquarters all year round and is accustomed to it.

Only Miles and Bello Betty, who were brought from the East China Sea, looked around curiously.

"Master, is this the Beihai branch base? It's too huge."

Poor Miles, he grew up on the island of Kyrenia and had never seen the outside world.

In his memory, the most luxurious building on the island was only three stories high.

Raleigh rubbed Miles's head and said:

"Miles, can you be a little more ambitious? You are my first disciple. This kind of situation will often appear in your life in the future. Get used to it as soon as possible. I can't always be with you."

"I'm...I'm sorry, Master."

Miles said nervously.

Kaji patted Miles on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't pay attention to what he said, Miles. When he first came to the Navy Headquarters from the North Sea, he was no less shocked than you are now."

Passing through the tall city wall, a huge parade ground appeared in front of us.

The quality of the naval soldiers in the North Sea is obviously a level higher than that of the naval soldiers in the East China Sea.

I originally thought that Cleveland's team would be the elite of the North Sea, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case.

At this time, many naval forces were already conducting confrontation training in the parade grounds.

Miles made a comparison and found that the training of the North Sea soldiers did not look like training at all, but as if they were really in a life-and-death battlefield.

Everyone must exert their greatest strength to ensure that the opponent in front of them can be knocked down in one move.

"Just take a look. The level of chaos in the North Sea is the most serious among the four seas. At the same time, the strength of the North Sea is also the most serious among the four seas."

"If the navy here didn't have the determination to fight with all their might, they would have died on some battlefield long ago."

Raleigh explained casually as he walked.

Things like this would not normally be expected by Gion and Kake, after all, they are both geniuses with their plans arranged for them.

"Is it Brigadier General Raleigh who was transferred from the 133rd Branch of the East Sea, and Majors Gion and Kake, the Four Seas Patrol Officers?"

Just as Raleigh and his group were looking around, a sexy female secretary in a professional suit and with a lot of sense appeared in front of them.

He asked respectfully:

"If so, please follow me. Lieutenant General Borsalino has been waiting for a long time."

Chapter 35: First Communication with Sakaski

2024-09-07 23:28:23 Author: Mu Chenxin

Raleigh and his group, led by her, came to the admiral's office.

The office is decorated in a high-end style, with a hand-embroidered wool carpet on the white marble floor.

A huge banner hung on the wall - Absolute Justice.

However, what surprised Raleigh was that at this time his brother Borsalino was sitting on the sofa drinking tea leisurely.

Sitting in the main seat was a soldier with a tough face and a cold expression.

Even people who don't know his identity can sense his iron-blooded style from his temperament.

When Kizaru saw his little brother Rowley, he greeted him enthusiastically:

"Hey! Brother, you're finally here. If you were a little later, Sakaski would have to go back to the headquarters to report on his work."

It turned out that the person sitting on the main seat was the future Red Marshal Sakaski, one of the three admirals of the navy along with his brother Borsalino.

In fact, he had only met Sakaski once when he was at the Navy Headquarters, mainly because Rowley was concentrating on studying how to gain more slacking points at that time.

He never went to many classmates' reunions or his brother's parties, which resulted in him not knowing many people in the Navy Headquarters except for his close classmates.

I only know people from my own class, by the way.

The first place in Raleigh's class was named Kuzan.

That’s right, it’s Aokiji, who would later become one of the three admirals of the navy.

"Hello, Senior Sakaski, I only met you once at school and we have never communicated."

"I just remember that the instructor kept saying that you and my brother were rare monsters."

Raleigh naturally took out a box of high-end cigars from his arms and handed one to Sakaski who was sitting in the main seat.

Sakaski's deep voice sounded:

"I have heard of your reputation many times in the headquarters. Among the trainees in the military academy, you are called the Unawakened Raleigh."

"I sleep in class every day. My ability is slightly lower than Kuzan who is known as the rookie king."

Raleigh smiled awkwardly:

"It's all empty reputation, all empty reputation."

Sakaski lit his cigar, took a deep puff, and blew out a beautiful smoke ring.

"Partagas, the best cigar in the East China Sea. You and Borsalino are both people who know how to enjoy life."

Borsalino took a look and said jokingly:

"Don't bring me up on any subject. I don't smoke cigars. I'm fine with tea."

Gion was already sitting on the sofa, drinking the same scented tea as Borsalino.

Kaji looked at Raleigh eagerly, and it was obvious that he also wanted to smoke such a high-end cigar.

Of course, Rowley would not show favoritism and gave one to Kaji as well.

Then he placed the box of cigars in front of Sakaski.

Sakaski shook his head:

"Rawley, I appreciate your kindness, but it is easier to go from simplicity to luxury than from luxury to frugality. I joined the navy not to enjoy life, but to eliminate pirates."

"These things will corrupt my spirit and prevent me from killing the enemy without hesitation. Please take them away."

Borsalino also advised:

"Okay, Rowley, stop trying to persuade him. He is just like that. He doesn't care about food, clothing, and daily expenses. All he thinks about is destroying pirates and improving his strength."

Sakaski was not angry, he already knew what kind of person Borsalino was.

So I have already developed antibodies against his words.

"The reason I stayed here was to meet you and see what kind of person the unconscious Raleigh is."

Raleigh touched his head curiously, having many questions.

Why would Sakaski wait for me? Isn't it said that Sakaski has a tough style and hates slacking off among his subordinates the most?

Could it be that he was impressed by my talent and wanted me to be his adjutant?

As expected, I knew that gold is always gold, and my talent is as dazzling as a night pearl in the middle of the night.

Before Raleigh could finish his thoughts, he was interrupted by Sakaski's words:

"There is one thing I have never understood. Why can you, who is so lazy, do such a good job in the East China Sea Branch 133? I have read the navy's report. Although it is all the credit of the flying squirrel, I know the flying squirrel."

"Although he is also an excellent naval commander, he cannot achieve this by himself. So the problem lies with you. Tell me, what secrets do you have that can reduce the casualties of your subordinates?"

Raleigh was shocked to find that his secret had been discovered.

Sure enough, those who can reach the top of the world are not fools.

The big bosses of the headquarters noticed him, and Sakaski, who was serving as admiral in the North Sea, also noticed him.

However, since that is what has been said, then Raleigh will definitely not suffer any loss.

As for a transaction, it can only be considered a transaction if both parties agree to it.

He began to wink at Borsalino, signaling his brother to help raise the price of the deal.

Borsalino pretended not to notice and continued drinking his tea, which had already been brewed for several times.

"Okay, Raleigh. No need to give Borsalino a look. I've already told him and he agreed."

Sakaski's deep voice sounded again.

Rowley cursed his brother inwardly, then put on a smiling face.

"Actually, that's a set of tactics I learned from my expedition. It's the most suitable tactic for the current naval combat style. I've done experiments with Flying Squirrels. When one hundred navies using new tactics fight one hundred navies using old tactics, the casualty ratio is about 6:10."

When Sakaski heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He was someone who often led troops to suppress pirates, so he naturally knew the combat effectiveness of naval soldiers.

He had also studied tactics before, and his current research could reduce the casualty rate of naval soldiers by 10%, and he had no idea how many nights he had spent studying on it.

Now, an opportunity to reduce the casualty rate by 40% is in front of him, and he wants it very much.

"Make an offer, Raleigh. This tactic is very important to me. As long as the offer is not too excessive, I will agree to it."

Borsalino also stepped forward to help:

"Rawley, Sakaski is my good friend, just take care of it."

Raleigh thought for a moment, then said:

"Brother Sakaski, this is a tactic that I have researched personally. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't sell it no matter how high the price is."

"But you and my brother have such a good relationship, so let's put it this way, I don't want any money or anything like that, just consider it as you owe me a favor, and you can come and help me when I need you in the future."

"Also, I have a disciple who is very talented and has a personality that is nothing like mine. I'm afraid my lazy personality will corrupt him. Can I let him serve on your ship after he graduates from the military academy in a few years?"

"Myles, come here and let Brother Sakaski take a look at you."

Sakaski thought about Raleigh's conditions, then looked at the boy called Miles, and felt satisfied.

In this transaction, he did not actually pay anything, although he owed someone a favor and also had to help Raleigh train someone.

Chapter 36: Sakaski's Determination

2024-09-07 23:28:25 Author: Mu Chenxin

But when it comes to better eliminating pirates, Sakaski doesn't care about these little things.

"I agree to your terms, but I think your terms are too low. I will give you some extra compensation."

Sakaski nodded, agreeing to the deal.

Gion said indignantly:

"Rawley, why don't you think of handing over such a good thing to the headquarters, but keep it for yourself? Are you betraying the navy by doing this?"

Sakaski, Borsalino, and Rowley looked at each other and laughed.

Only Gion was left angry, not knowing what they were laughing at.

Borsalino kindly explained:

"Gion girl, this is a tactic that Raleigh developed himself. In theory, Raleigh legally owns it."

"Besides, even the generals in our headquarters have their own ways of training soldiers. We know all of this."

After laughing, Sakaski seemed to be in a good mood.

He asked Raleigh again:

"Rawley, I have a question I'd like to hear your thoughts on."

Raleigh felt very surprised because in his opinion, Sakaski should be a man with strong opinions and people like him rarely accept other people's opinions.

"Brother Sakaski, tell me what you have to say."

Sakaski handed a piece of information to Raleigh, who took it and looked at it slowly.

"A few years ago, the Rocks Pirates were defeated in the Valley of the Gods. I don't know the details of what happened, and the Navy has also issued a gag order. But Rocks' defeat also led to chaos in the New World. Did you know this?"

Raleigh nodded.
