Under the leadership of Major Kahn, the rescued navy recruits were taken back to the navy base. Google search reading

Originally, the training of new recruits was to begin today, but because of the William Pirates, Kahn temporarily gave the new recruits a day off to recover their mental state, and formal training and training will be carried out tomorrow.

In the new recruit dormitory.

There was silence.

Every navy recruit was thinking about his own affairs, and so was Coles.

The knife that William slashed at him before was too fast, and he had no time to dodge.

If it weren't for Major Kahn, he would be a cold corpse now.

Too weak!

Still too weak!

Even if he has the ability of the devil fruit.

But without proficiency and development, once he meets a powerful pirate like William, there is almost no possibility of winning.

Get stronger!

Must get stronger quickly!

Coles kept reminding himself in his heart.

William's last words before leaving clearly targeted him. If he didn't improve his strength quickly, he might really die the next time he met him.

After all, who can guarantee that Major Kahn will always be by his side?

In this chaotic era of pirates, the best way to protect yourself is to become stronger!

Coles lay on the upper bunk of the dormitory, his hands behind his head, looking at the wall absent-mindedly, thinking about how to become stronger.

After summoning the shadow soldier Atton, he felt that the number of shadows he could summon had reached saturation.

He can only summon up to ten shadow soldiers now. If he wants to increase the number of summoned shadow soldiers, he should improve his proficiency in the shadow fruit...

In addition to the shadow fruit.

There should also be room for development in his own strength, such as physical skills, swordsmanship, etc.

...

The next day.

Fifty-eight navy recruits sat collectively in a white-painted classroom.

Although only twenty people, including Coles, passed the review of the Navy Recruitment Office this month, the Rogue Town Naval Base recruits new recruits every month.

However, due to the number of people and time issues, the Rogue Town Naval Base uniformly teaches in batches of three months, so this time Kahn needs to teach fifty-eight navy.

Without letting everyone wait for long, Kahn, wearing a navy coat, walked into the classroom. After he glanced at everyone, he said:

"Some of you already know me, but some don't. Then let me introduce myself first. I am Lieutenant Kahn of Rogue Town, and I will also be your instructor during the recruit training period.

During the three-month recruit period, you all need to obey my command, understand?"

"Understood!"

Some of the recruits, because they have not yet come out of the kidnapping incident yesterday, caused their voices to be a little high and low.

In response, Kahn did not say anything, but just opened a roll call list and began to call the roll of the recruits.

"Dashiqi."

"Here." A short-haired girl with glasses stood up and responded.

Dashiqi did not encounter the kidnapping incident yesterday, because she did not find her glasses when she got up yesterday, which delayed her half an hour to get to the naval base, thus missing the pirates of the William Pirates.

Coles was sitting in the back row of the classroom. After hearing the name Dashiqi, he was a little stunned.

I didn't expect that I would be in the same batch of recruits as this future "female idiot".

"Louis Art."

"Here."

...

"Charlotte Coles."

"Here."

When Kahn read out his name, Coles immediately responded with full energy.

"Good, very energetic."

Kahn praised Coles at the end, and then looked around at all the recruits in the classroom.

"From the moment you put on the white uniform, you are the navy. The Rogue Town Naval Base welcomes you at all times."

"But you are not yet a qualified navy, because you are just new recruits who have just joined the navy. Only after three months of recruit training can you become a real navy."

"Now, I will give you the first lesson for these navy recruits!"

As Kahn's words fell, the recruits almost all perked up, wanting to know what the first lesson was going to teach.

Kahn first asked the recruits below: "What do you think the navy's obligations are?"

In response to the instructor's question, the recruits began to give their own answers.

"The navy's duty is to eradicate pirates!"

"Maintain order!"

"Obey orders!"

Various answers rang out in the classroom.

Kahn waved his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then wrote two words on the blackboard:

"Protect!"

After writing down the real navy's duty, Kahn began to explain in detail to these navy recruits:

"Why is the navy's duty to protect? Because this is the original meaning of the navy's birth!"

"Eradication of pirates, maintenance of order, these actions are all extended for protection. What does our navy want to protect? We must protect civilians, protect the weak, and protect innocent people."

After Kahn and the navy recruits below digested this, he continued to tell the story with emotion.

"Why does our naval base continue to recruit new recruits? Because in the battle with pirates, we have navy injured and dead every day.

To this day, I still remember my subordinate Vic, who was shot through the heart by a pirate because he protected a seven-year-old child who was captured...

Rant, a young navy officer, rushed into the fire alone to rescue a family of civilians trapped by pirates' arson. However, because the fire was too big, he was burned all over his body and now can only lie on a hospital bed...

There are many deeds of the navy. Some of them left their names, and some left quietly, but they are great, glorious, and worthy of praise.

When you, the new navy recruits, grow up, I hope you can protect more innocent people. "

As Kahn finished speaking, many new recruits fell into silence and began to think.

At this time, a new navy recruit who had not experienced the kidnapping incident yesterday expressed doubts.

"Instructor Kahn, I have a question.

Isn't the pirate Jeff you let go yesterday a huge hidden danger? When the William Pirates fight the navy, won't more navy die at Jeff's hands? "

Kahn looked directly at the new navy recruit who asked the question and answered very solemnly.

"Everyone may have a different answer to this. But I am a lieutenant commander in the navy. I cannot abandon the current navy recruits and watch them die in the hands of pirates.

As for what Jeff will do in the future, I cannot predict it. All I can do is to protect what I can protect as much as possible, because..."

Finally, Kahn picked up the pointer, pointed to the two big words on the blackboard, and said loudly.

"The navy's duty is to protect, not to force others to sacrifice."

The sea breeze blew in from the window, which was refreshing. The gentle light also penetrated from the outside and reflected on Instructor Kahn and the blackboard.

It was as if life was born.
