Time flies, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, Smoker spent two busy and fulfilling years.
In a few days, he will become an official private soldier.
Two years ago, when Smoker first joined,
Because Cole was specially warned, everyone did not know about his previous "great achievements" and only regarded him as an ordinary intern.
No discrimination,
no care,
Even less expectations.
In this way, Smoker wore a sea-floor stone necklace and sweated profusely on the training ground with everyone.
Running, climbing, shooting, fighting each other...
Except for those projects that have been launched, nothing else has been left behind.
Because there are almost no Devil Fruits in the East Sea.
So everyone never thought about this aspect, they just thought he was a simple landlubber.
In the initial period, Smoker's performance was mediocre;
In many cases, they are even inferior to ordinary soldiers.
Cole was puzzled by this.
At this level, how did he catch those vicious pirates?
Is he hiding his clumsiness?
It's not necessary...
And it doesn't look like he's so tired that he's vomiting...
Cole wisely didn't ask any more questions and just watched the changes.
But soon everyone was impressed by Smoker.
There was no way, Smoker was training too hard.
During endurance training, everyone ran 100 laps around the playground, and he ran 200 laps.
Even if I vomit and my limbs twitch, I still have to climb to the finish line.
For hitting training, others wear protective gear and hit sandbags.
He just hit the stone with his bare hands without stopping, his hands dripping with blood.
Such intensity of training amazed other soldiers.
There are those who are determined to practice together and refuse to admit defeat, but soon they can no longer bear it and give up.
Smoker, on the other hand, persevered through thick and thin.
Over the past two years, Smoker's strength has soared, and he is considered top-notch in Base 161.
What makes Cole even more happy is that,
Smoker's diligence rubbed off on others.
Originally, after everyone finished training, they either drank and went to the bar, or fell asleep.
Now that I see Smoker working so hard, he more or less consciously follows suit and practices more.
For a time, the base training ground was full of muscle brothers, and it was a lively scene.
As the lying navy became more aggressive, the base's combat power naturally soared.
The pirates who had previously struggled to defeat him were now dragged over and beaten.
Cole was naturally overjoyed.
This is all about military merit and military expenditure! !
This day.
Smoker ended the day's training and collapsed on the training field like a dead dog.
My whole body was covered in sweat, as if I had been soaked in water and fished out.
The most eye-catching thing was the hands. Although they were wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, faint traces of blood could be seen.
A naughty red-haired female sailor walked over with a cigarette in her mouth.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk...it's so ugly, Brother Smoker."
"You have to train according to your ability. If you become disabled during training, you will not regret taking the medicine!"
As he spoke, he lifted Smoker up hard.
While talking, I happened to bump into Cole who was off work.
Cole was also shocked when he saw Smoker's miserable appearance.
"Smog, what's wrong with you?!"
When the red-haired girl saw Cole coming, she dumped Smoker to him with a look of disgust.
"He's overtrained. If it weren't for me, this kid would have to sleep on the playground tonight!"
"Since you're here, it's up to you! It's your responsibility as the base commander to care for your subordinates!"
Cole seemed to be accustomed to the girl's attitude, and he was not angry, but nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work, Bellemere, just leave it to me!"
Bellmere waved his hand, turned around and left calmly.
It turns out that the red-haired girl is Nami's adoptive mother, Bellemere.
Cole helped Smoker toward the cabin, chattering as he walked.
"Smog, hard work is a good thing, but you are too reckless! Be careful that your body cannot hold on!"
Smoker said feebly: "I know, but time waits for no one!"
Cole said angrily: "You are still young, why are you so anxious!!"
Smoker forced a smile, changed the topic and said, "Basic Commander, I also want to go to the patrol mission tomorrow."
"You're like this and you still go to sea?!"
"For me, it's easier at sea..."
"You...well, I really can't stand you. Remember to get to the dock on time. If you oversleep, I won't wait for you!"
"Overslept? Don't underestimate me, you bastard base commander!"
"You bastard, why are you talking to your boss?"
Cole helped Smoker back to the cabin, settled in, and left.
When no one was around, Smoker took off the sea tower stone pendant from his chest.
Without the suppression of Sea tower Stone, Smoker felt his spirit shaken and his body relaxed a lot.
Then, a darkness emerged from him, wrapping himself into a black cocoon.
Soon, the darkness dissipated, and all the injuries suffered during training disappeared.
In the past two years, although Smoker has focused most of his energy on training, he has not failed to develop fruits.
Now you can not only absorb injuries with Dark Dark Fruit, but also absorb pain and fatigue after training.
This is also the reason why Smoker has been able to practice beyond his limits over the years.
Smoker took off the bandage on his hand,
There are no traces of training on the fists.
After cleaning up for a while, Smoker lay on the bed, stretched out his palm, and a white ball appeared in his palm.
[I have saved a lot of damage recently, it looks like I need to find a few more pirates...]
The substances absorbed by the dark fruits can be stored for a long time.
But you have to find someone to bear the pain and fatigue.
Otherwise, over time, it will return to the original owner.
Therefore, Smoker is very keen to go to sea.
Catch pirates everywhere and bear the pain for yourself.
In fact, Cole had noticed something was wrong a long time ago.
Every time the pirates captured by Smoker obviously didn't have many injuries, but every one of them looked miserable...
Each time, Cole would rightly warn Smoker that he would not do the same again.
Smoker kept saying yes, but still went his own way.
The two of them fought tirelessly for two years.
the next day.
Smoker is awakened by seagulls delivering newspapers.
Looking at the time, there were only five minutes left before setting sail.
Smoker jumped up, put on his clothes and rushed to the dock.
On the dock, the warship is ready and ready to sail at any time.
Cole stood on the deck and said bitterly: "That kid Smog, you're late again!!"
Bellemere stepped forward with a smile.
"Colonel, you saw what he looked like yesterday, why don't we leave first~~"
Cole was about to nod.
Suddenly a figure rushed out of the base, jumped high in one step, and landed steadily on the warship.
"Navy trainee Smoker reports!"
Cole's eyes twitched slightly and he snorted: "Return to the team!"
Then he shouted: "Set sail!"
"beep..."
As the whistle blew, the warship slowly sailed out of the military port.
After sailing for a while, everyone except the helmsman and lookout were free to move around.
Smoker had nothing to do, so he leaned against the ship's sill in a daze.
Bellemeier, holding a cigarette in his mouth, walked over with a few sailors.
"Hey, Brother Smoker, is it that you can't practice and you don't even know what to do?"
Smoker turned to look at them and smiled.
"Are you here to thank me for saving my life last time? I appreciate it... You have to work hard this time."
"Especially you Odo, don't be so scared that you cry again."
A mustachioed sailor next to Bellemere turned red instantly, jumped on his feet and shouted.
"Asshole Smoker, that was just an accident! I just got sand in my eyes!!"
While retorting, he glanced at Bellemere and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party's expression was indifferent.
"Ah hahaha, don't mention what happened last time." Bellemeier approached Smoker with a smirk on his face, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit it and took a long puff.
"Brother Smoker, you are not a child anymore. Come and try it. Smoking will make you more manly~~"
Smoker glanced at it, and it turned out to be a good brand.
But now I am not the big smoker that my original owner was, and cigarettes are not attractive.
"Forget it, I'm not interested..."
"Don't blame me for not warning you. The smell of this cigarette is strong and not suitable for you. Be careful that your mouth smells strange and you will be single for the rest of your life..."
Suddenly, Smoker stopped talking and glanced at Bellemere up and down.
Bellmere felt uncomfortable and said angrily: "What are you looking at?!!"
Smoker sighed, looking regretful.
"Nothing, I take back what I just said. Under your terms, it doesn't matter whether you smoke or not..."
Bellmere was stunned for a moment, then ran into a rage and rushed forward to tear Smoker apart.
"Bastard Smoker, you brat!! I'm going to kill you!!"
The sailors who were accompanying her quickly grabbed her.
"Calm down, no fighting on board!!"
"It hurts, it hurts...Bellemere, let go!!"
"Smorg also has good intentions...OoOoOo!!!"
Several people hurriedly dragged Bellemere away, and her roar could be heard in the distance.
Smoker chuckled and continued to look at the scenery.
Suddenly, a rapid siren sounded on the ship.
The originally sloppy navy was like clockwork. They picked up their weapons and rushed out of the cabin. They lined up in less than two minutes.
Smoker stood in the queue, looking intently, but he couldn't hide his surprise.
Although there are thousands of pirates, the sea is too vast.
During normal patrols, you may not encounter pirates for ten days and a half.
It opened as soon as I left home today...
At this time, Cole asked the deputy beside him: "Major Barnard, what is the situation now?"
Major Barnard picked up a file.
"I just found a pirate ship chasing a merchant ship. The sign is the Gotha Pirates."
"They are notorious in the East Sea. The captain is the 'leave alive' Gotha, and the bounty is as high as 17.3 million Baileys!"
"17.3 million Baileys?!"
Cole was shocked and immediately issued an order: "Follow us! Don't let them attack the merchant ship!"
"yes!"
The helmsman turns the helm into a top.
The warship was like a sword drawn from its sheath, charging towards the Gotha Pirates with murderous intent.
In the team, Smoker also heard the information about the Gotha Pirates and couldn't help but look forward to it.
Now someone has to bear the pain for me! !
