"Um lead singer Uta?" Loya was thinking that he recently discovered that Fenbudi and Zangao often listened to "Uta's" songs and said that the other party was the best singer in the world. I don’t know if it’s the red-haired daughter in his memory. If so, he can try to recruit her when he has the chance. While thinking, Linus ran to Loya and said, "Report to Lieutenant Loya, we are about to arrive at Xiluobu Village." "understood." Luoya was looking forward to it. What a surprise! Half an hour later, in the bay on the south side of the island, at the Xiluobu family dock. Looking at the warship in front of him, it took Loya a long time to come back to his senses. A brand new medium-sized warship!
Moreover, it is equipped with 24 cannons on both sides and two heavy cannons at the bow, and its firepower is stronger than that of the branch warships. He can stand on the bow and show off! This is a fucking surprise! Loya took out the Den Den Mushi and confirmed with Colonel Rhodes: "Colonel, is this new warship really for me?" "Yes, surprised?" “What a surprise!” "Hahaha, it's a surprise." Colonel Rhodes laughed, very satisfied with Loya's reaction. The branch has limited funds and is only equipped with an old warship, which makes it inconvenient to do anything. He had long wanted to add another warship. The last time he came to Xiluobu Village to find Mr. Xiluobu was about the warship. But buying warships costs money. Due to the lack of achievements, the branch could not apply for funds. Later, after "Klo" was arrested, the superiors approved the application to purchase warships. The branch has money now! This time, the cooperation mission with Branch 32 is led by Branch 153, so naturally the warships of Branch 153 will be used. Using new warships will also give face to the head of Branch 153. "Work hard, and this warship will be exclusively for you from now on." "Yes, thank you, Colonel!" "Cachah~~" The phone bug hangs up. Loya was still a little excited.
This is a new warship, specially built for him. In his previous life, it would be equivalent to the most advanced patrol ship. Upgrading from a musket to a cannon. After resting on the island for a night, Loya prepared to return early the next morning. The captain of the 32nd branch had already arrived at the branch. The Xiluobu couple brought Keya to see them off and prepared a very nice gift. Keya held the gift box which was more than one meter long and happily handed it to Luoya: "I haven't formally thanked you for what you did last time. This is a famous sword that my parents specially asked someone to make. It was made by a super powerful swordsmith." "Thank you." Loya did not refuse. We are all family, there is no need to be polite. "A knife?" When the gift box was opened, a brand new long sword was found inside. It was about one meter and two meters long. The scabbard was black with a row of magatama patterns printed on the surface. "what." Loya was a little surprised. In this world, magatama is not a common pattern, and this is the first time he has seen a swordsmith who would print such a pattern. "It was made by the swordsmith from Shimotsuki Village, right?" "Ah, how did you know?" Ke Ya's eyes widened. She didn't expect Luo Ya to be able to guess the origin of the knife: "That man does live in Shimokatsuki Village. He is a friend of my father. It is said that he has received help from my father in the past." "I'll visit him when I get a chance." Luoya closed the gift box with a smile, feeling emotional. No matter whether it is personal strength, status, or money, as long as one of them continues to improve, the people and environment you come into contact with will also improve. When he was a Marine, he didn't receive such attention. "I still have a mission. I'm going back now. I'll come back to see you when I have time." Patting the little girl's head, Loya jumped onto the new warship. "Return!" The two warships, one in front and one behind, sailed quickly into the sea. On the other side, Branch 153. Colonel's office. The girl with orange short hair and a cloak of justice saluted with great vigor: "Second Lieutenant of the 32nd Branch, Iska reports for duty!" "Hello, Lieutenant Iska."
Colonel Rhodes smiled and nodded, looking at the girl in front of him. He looks about the same age as Luoya, with sharp eyes and a strong aura. He should not be the kind of person who relies on connections to get to the top. "Nailhand." Rhodes looked through the information of the girl provided by the 32nd branch. She was nicknamed "Nail Hand" and had superb swordsmanship. Very impressive! "Colonel Rhodes." Iska didn't intend to exchange pleasantries and asked directly: "Excuse me, where is my partner?" "Lieutenant Loya is on a mission and won't be back until about noon." Rhodes calculated the time and figured that if he started from Xiluobu Village and didn't rush, he would be able to get back to the branch before noon. "Ok, I see." Iska nodded in understanding. It was normal to have a mission, but there was no rush. She just happened to have other things she wanted to do. "Can I have a tour of the branch?" "of course can." Colonel Rhodes narrowed his eyes. The one who comes is not kind. There is a competitive relationship between the branches. Branch 153 has become very popular this time, so it is normal for other branches to have some thoughts. "Come with me." Colonel Rhodes took Iska on a brief tour of the branch, and then, at the other party's request, they came to the branch training ground. The branch's marines are undergoing physical training. “That’s the extent of it.” Iska observed silently, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. It’s not that she looked down on Branch 153, but from what she saw along the way, both the overall atmosphere of the branch and the training enthusiasm of the Marines were far inferior to those of Branch 32. The strengths and weaknesses are clear at a glance. In this mission, she was actually quite dissatisfied with the assistant Loya, because in her opinion, stronger people were qualified to be the commander. A fighting spirit rose in Iska's eyes. "Colonel Rhodes, I want to challenge the soldiers of Branch 153!" "." Rhodes frowned.
It is normal for branches to compete with each other, and there is no reason to refuse. In addition, the other party probably wants to establish its authority, and its purpose is naturally to take the lead in the next action. There is no way to refuse. After all, the other party is only a second lieutenant of the branch, and it is in our home court, which is related to the reputation of the 153rd branch. But the problem is, he has no confidence. Unless he takes action himself, the other marines in the branch may not be a match for the girl, but he is the commander of the base, so bullying the weak is not a big deal. Rhodes called Monka. "Lieutenant Monka, you are here to spar with Lieutenant Iska!" Ace on! Chapter 34: The Invincible Monka Falls 153 Branch training ground. The Marines were stunned, unable to believe what they saw. "The invincible Monka has fallen!" In just ten minutes, the ace combat force of the 153rd Branch, Lieutenant Monka, who was trusted by all the Marines, was defeated head-on. The defeat was no surprise. The one who defeated Monka was not a tall and mighty man, not a famous pirate, nor a well-known marine, but just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. So strong! "Strength alone is not enough." Iska swung the blade and a playful smile appeared on his face. The opponent was very strong, especially in strength, which could easily split the ground, but that was all. It was far from enough to defeat her. Well, it was a remote branch after all, and defeating Clo was probably just luck, so she shouldn't have too high expectations. Iska carried a long sword and smiled at Colonel Rhodes: "Colonel Rhodes, are there any other powerful opponents?" "." Colonel Rhodes looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. It seems mysterious, but in fact it makes people sigh inside. Even Mengka is no match for the girl, let alone the other sailors. The girl's swordsmanship was very sharp and her movements were extremely agile. Throughout the entire battle, Monka didn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes. He couldn't do better if he were in her shoes. Loya? That kid can't even beat Mengka. It's very uncomfortable to be bullied by Marines from other branches.
But there is no way. Compared with the geographically remote 153rd branch, the island where the 32nd branch is located is in the central East China Sea, and its resources are not comparable to those of the 153rd branch. If it weren't for the impressive results in the crusade against "Clo", Branch 32 would probably not even bother with Branch 153, let alone cooperate in the crusade against pirates. In fact, he knew a long time ago that the gap between branches was really bigger than that between people and dogs. Just when Rhodes was at a loss, there was a commotion at the entrance of the branch. "Lieutenant Loya is back!" The marines automatically made way for him and watched Loya approach, each of them looking a little frustrated.
