Loya spoke calmly. "Do you regret betraying your companions?" "Regret? Stop kidding." Zangao sneered. "Do you think you are playing house?" "Pirates are just a group of wild dogs abandoned by the world. For treasure and power, pirates can pierce the hearts of the people closest to them with their blades. The betrayal and killing between each other will never stop." "To Captain Clo, everyone is his pawn. Once they are no longer useful, Captain Clo will ruthlessly dispose of them, even me." "Those useless guys are the same. As long as they see a chance, they will kill me and take my place without hesitation!" "This is a pirate!" Zangao roared.
However, that clenched fist exposed his inner restlessness. He could not get over the fact that he had killed all his subordinates with his own hands. Luoya was silent for a long time, then turned and left. "Be a good person after you come back from court!" Chapter 30 Returning Home in Glory Three days later, the prison ship responsible for escorting the prisoners arrived at the port of Shields on time. The colonel of the headquarters was in charge of this escort. The prisoner transfer went smoothly. Clo gave up struggling completely. With his hands and feet shackled and chained, he couldn't make any waves. After watching the prison ship leave, all the Marines in Branch 153 felt much more relaxed. These days, the lieutenants even thought about taking a walk around the cell when they went to the toilet, for fear that Cloe would suddenly disappear. Now that Crow has been handed over, it means the mission to defeat the Black Cat Pirates has been successfully completed and we can celebrate. At noon, Branch 153 held a celebration banquet. The restaurant tables were filled with a variety of delicious food, and drinks were available in unlimited quantities. Rod raised his glass. "cheers!" "cheers!!!" The Marines raised their glasses and drank together happily. In this world, no matter whether it is a marine, an ordinary citizen, or a pirate, the most favorite thing must be drinking. However, drinking is prohibited in the naval base, and only at the celebratory banquet can one drink to one's heart's content. In the center of the restaurant, the excited Marines surrounded Loya. "Loya, I respect you!" "Senior Luoya, you are so amazing!"
"Come on, little brat, have a drink!" Marines from the same period as him, veterans who had trained together, instructors and lieutenants, and even new recruits, all came to Luoya to drink. This is a special treatment for meritorious officials! Luoya was surrounded in the center, drinking one cup after another, unable to stop at all. He was soon dizzy and furious. "Asshole, I want to eat meat!" He is still hungry! For three whole hours, the branch was celebrating the victory. When he was drunk, Loya danced on the dining table in a daze. Spin ~ Jump ~ "Loya! Loya! Loya!" The cheers echoing in his ears made Luo Yale a little disoriented. He slipped and fell off the dining table. Burp~ I drank too much. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the restaurant finally became quiet. The Marines lay on the ground drunk, snoring louder than thunder. "Loya, wake up!" Loya was forcibly shaken awake, and he sat up with the support of his aching forehead. He looked at the impatient Fenbudi in front of him, feeling a little confused. "what happened?" "Colonel Rhodes asked us to go to the conference room in the tower!" Finbudi's face was filled with smiles. "It's a good thing!" "Good thing?" Luo Ya perked up and probably guessed why the colonel was looking for him. He quickly got up from the ground and sobered up a lot. "go!" Soon, the two came to the conference room. They were not the only ones in the room. Most of the officers who participated in the battle against Clo were there. Seeing the two people coming, everyone looked at Luoya, with envy in their eyes. "Loya, Fenbudi, come to me." Colonel Rhodes stood inside the room and waved to the two men. Behind him was a long table piled with brand new Marine uniforms and epaulettes. The two men hurried to the colonel. "Your appointment letter has arrived!" Colonel Rhodes was all smiles. After handing over Clo in the morning, the review of the position change was quickly passed, and all the marines and non-commissioned officers who participated in this battle were promoted.
Colonel Rhodes turned toward Finbudi. "Fenbudi!" "To!" Finbudi stood at attention and saluted Colonel Rhodes. "Ah." Rhodes looked serious as he handed a stack of brand new marine uniforms to Finbudi, with the shoulder straps representing the rank of "sergeant" on top. "Keep up the good work!" "Yes!" Fenbudi was holding the uniform and epaulettes in his hands, feeling pleasantly surprised. From a private to a sergeant, it was equivalent to a promotion of three ranks in a row. Under normal circumstances, if Marines want to get promoted and get a raise, they can only do so by gaining experience or making meritorious contributions, and catching pirates is a direct way to do so. The risk is high, but the reward is also high! Colonel Rhodes faced Roya. "Loya!" "To!" Loya straightened his back and saluted Colonel Rhodes, his heart full of anticipation. Colonel Rhodes smiled broadly. "This time, during the battle against Clo, I was surprised to learn of your outstanding performance. After discussion, I decided to award you the rank of second lieutenant and the Medal of Bravery!" "Thank you Colonel!" Luo Ya happily accepted the uniform and second lieutenant epaulettes. Not only was his rank promoted six levels, he also received a brocade box containing medals. According to his previous expectations, it would be great to be able to become a warrant officer. After all, the conquest of Clo was achieved through the desperate efforts of everyone in the 153rd branch, not just his own credit. The achievements of the Tulip Pirates should have given him a lot of points. "There's one more thing for you." Colonel Rhodes turned around and picked up a cloak with the word "Justice" written on it from the long table. He put it on Loya himself and became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it. "Yes, very handsome!" "." Loya touched the cloak on his body and could clearly feel its heavy weight and the will it carried. "Hu~~" Luo Ya took a deep breath, his eyes became much firmer than before.
From the very beginning, he never regarded the justice of the navy as a creed. He joined the navy only because it was the easiest way to get ahead. He knew very well that the Navy was an organization under the World Government and was one of the tools used by the Celestial Dragons to rule the world. The so-called justice was nothing more than a means to better rule the world. But his six-month naval career made him gradually realize that "for justice" is definitely not an empty talk, it carries too much effort and sacrifice. Maybe he should find his own justice. Colonel Rhodes was very keenly aware of Loya's changes. Under the influence of the external environment, every Marine will experience similar psychological processes, both good and bad. He was very pleased that the overall atmosphere of Branch 153 was quite good and should have a positive impact on this kid. "You have a month's vacation next, go home and have a good rest." "Yes, thank you, Colonel!" - In the evening, Loya walked out of the base gate wearing a brand new lieutenant uniform and a cloak of justice. Returning home in glory! It was not yet dark and the streets were bustling with people. It was the busiest time of the day, and every household was preparing dinner. "Hey, look!" Loya quickly attracted the attention of residents. The cloak of justice is very cool. After all, in the entire 153rd branch, there are only a few people who are qualified to wear the cloak of justice. For the residents of Shields Town, anyone who can wear the cloak of justice is a big shot! "Is that Loya?" Some regular customers of the tavern recognized Loya and were speechless with shock. No one could have imagined that the poor boy who worked as a handyman in the tavern half a year ago had transformed into a big shot in the navy. It’s only half a year! Night falls, Food pub. After a busy whole day, the guests in the pub left one after another. Lilixiang took a rag and cleaned the messy table. "Hey, boss lady, give me a cappuccino!" "Hold on--" Lilixiang was just about to get ready when she suddenly realized something was wrong. What cappuccino? "Loya?!" Lilixiang turned around in surprise and saw Luoya standing at the door. Only Luoya could say these strange names of drinks.
Loya smiled brightly. "I am back." "Well, welcome home." Chapter 31 [Black-haired Loya] Chapter 31 [Black-haired Loya]
