Time passes day by day.
Smoker was either training every day or fighting against unconvinced sailors.
The days were monotonous and fulfilling.
After a long time, we finally arrived at the Navy Headquarters.
Smoker stood on the bow of the ship early, looking up at the most famous landmark in the pirate world.
As the warship continued to approach, Smoker's breathing became heavier and heavier.
When I saw the Navy Headquarters in anime, I didn't feel much at all.
But at this time, facing this war fortress and feeling the severity and coercion,
Even though he knew he was not an enemy, he still felt a sense of suffocation.
Entering the inner bay, Smoker felt numb all over.
The mountainous naval headquarters occupies the entire island, and a huge shadow shrouds the entire inner bay.
Like a giant beast entrenched in its lair,
And those densely packed heavy artillery pieces reflecting the cold light are the minions of this giant beast, always ready to tear the enemy into pieces.
[Is this the king of the sea? ! ]
[It's really awe-inspiring! ]
While sighing, Garp walked behind Smoker.
"Smoog, this is your first time here, how do you feel?!"
Upon hearing his voice, Smoker's first reaction was to shiver.
It turned out that during the voyage, Garp was also curious about Smoker's secret fruit and had to make a fuss about it.
Smoker thought that last time he was wearing the Sea Tower Stone Pendant, which seriously affected his performance.
If you use your full strength, even if you can't win, you won't be defeated, right? !
There are not many opportunities to compete with such a strong person at full level. After passing this village, there is no such shop!
So, the confident Smoker agreed to Karp's request.
Unfortunately, Smoker only lasted three seconds before being defeated.
In the first two seconds, the two faced each other.
In the third second, Smoker was thrust headfirst onto the deck.
Whether I wear a Sea-Prism Stone necklace or not, the result seems to make no difference.
After that, Garp didn't know why, but he became interested in the Dark Fruit, and pestered Smoker to compete with him when he had nothing to do.
Fortunately, Garp was also more knowledgeable and held back his strength every time, allowing Smoker to hold on for a while longer.
Although Smoker wanted to die every time, it was not all without gain.
Under this pressure, Smoker's strength soared,
Especially his ability to withstand blows is completely different from before.
And Smoker completely understood.
In front of this old man,
What kind of natural system or superhuman system? All these bells and whistles are of no use at all.
On the contrary, those with animal abilities can withstand a few more attacks due to their strength and durability.
Seeing Garp appearing behind him unnoticed, Smoker shivered like a reflex and called out "Lieutenant General Garp..."
Then he looked at the majestic naval headquarters and said honestly: "I feel...only shocked. You are worthy of being the overlord of the sea. It's so spectacular!"
But I was also muttering secretly in my heart.
[Facing such a fortress, the white beard and golden lion who dare to break into this place are such terrifying existences...]
Smoker remembered his first battle with pirates.

"Smog, this is your first time here, how do you feel?!"

[Facing such a fortress, the white beard and golden lion who dare to break into this place are such terrifying existences...]
Smoker remembered his first battle with pirates.
Smoker: "The Navy Headquarters is truly the embodiment of justice in the world!"
"Pfft, hahaha, wrong! Big mistake!!"
Garp pointed at the warship docked at the dock, on which were several sailors who were chased like rabbits by the officers, and then pointed at Smoker.
"The so-called justice is not the broken building. It is the people!!"
Smoker was choked up when he heard this, and stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.
"Yes! I will definitely live up to your expectations!!"
Garp chuckled, then looked around.
"The main unit is good, but it's too boring..."
"Originally, I wanted to show you around, but your registration time is about to end. Next time..."
After hearing this, Smoker's face suddenly darkened a bit.
During this voyage, Smoker drifted on the sea for a full month and a half.
It's not that Base 161 is far from the Navy Headquarters, but that Garp's route is too arbitrary.
I saw a pirate I didn't like today, so I chased him for two days, caught him and beat him up.
Tomorrow I have to turn around and go to the next island to buy tea and senbei.
Each time it was only delayed for a few days, but as days passed and days passed, the sailing time was doubled.
If Warring States hadn't scolded Garp so much on the phone, he would probably still be enjoying himself outside.
Smoker looked at the sky,
It's sunset now, and lights have been lit in many places.
And the assessment time...is the morning after tomorrow.
In other words, the time left for Smoker was actually only one day.
Smoker nodded.
"Lieutenant General Garp, thank you for taking care of me these days!"
Garp waved his hand carelessly, and suddenly thought of something again.
"By the way, I went to the extended class. Although you can't cause trouble, you don't have to be polite when you encounter trouble. It's a place where you talk with your fists!"
"Oh?!" Smoker was stunned for a moment, then showed a weird smile.
Is that so? !
That's great! !
Let the pressure put on you by Lieutenant General Garp these days be vented on you! !
Soon the ship docked.
Smoker took the materials and reported to work on the tail end of get off work.
The staff received him warmly.
Not only was he given a new military uniform, but he was also given a separate apartment in the living area.
Smoker was surprised. He originally thought he would live in Datongpu, but he didn't expect the conditions to be so good! !
The Navy Headquarters is not only a military fortress, but also has a large living area in the back.
Tens of thousands of sailors and their families live here.
Smoker followed the map and walked around to an apartment on the outermost edge of the living area.
When I entered the house, I saw it was very large and well laid out.
It has been uninhabited for a long time, there is thick dust everywhere, and the furniture and furnishings are also in dilapidated condition.
Smoker didn't care at all.
He took off the pendant and used his ability,
Darkness spread in the house, swallowing up dust and debris, and even scraping off a layer of the walls and ceiling.
Then, various furniture objects continued to emerge from the darkness.
Soon, the apartment had a brand new look.
After packing up, Smoker saw that it was getting late and he didn't plan to train anymore.
Take out the bottle of wine, set out the glasses, and prepare to relax with a drink.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.
"who?!!!"
"Alala, long time no see, Brother Smoker, it's me!!!"
