NOVEL NEXT Chapter 269 The big competition begins
"The Starry Sky Task Force has been assembled. Please give instructions from the commander-in-chief."
On the high platform, the main officers of the Star Task Force have gathered here, and the numbers of the navy and pirates are in balance.
The young navy saluted the officer on the high platform.
Judging from his appearance, he is the proud disciple of Iron Fist Garp. Now he has the rank of colonel. He has a good chance of becoming a lieutenant general or even a general in the future.
This man is now considered a mainstay in the pirate world.
At the same time, a man came out from the pirate side. He looked older, but the heavy aura about him gave people a sense of security.
"The leader of the pirate delegation, Azor, reports to all officers."
"Azor, is this the once all-powerful leader of the Wizard Pirates? Captain Red, your reputation is really useful on the sea. You even recruited such a master."
"Even I have to admire you deeply."
Facing Xia Tian's praise, the red-haired man waved his hand quickly.
"Captain Xia Tian is joking. I just happened to meet the leader of the Wizard Pirates. It just so happened that he also had the intention of going to sea, so I pulled him over."
"Otherwise, with that stubborn character, even if I tell the truth, the final result may not be much better."
Both captains are very humble, and naturally they are the ones with the deepest integrity in the entire team.
Xia Tian glanced at the people who joined the Star Corps from the pirates and navy, and really saw a lot of familiar faces.
Therefore, he is also full of desire for the martial arts competition to be held next.
"Haha, well, everyone is so energetic, so let's use all our strength on the blade."
"Don't hold back during the competition. Whoever performs better will directly determine the official position to join the Starry Sky Task Force. You must work hard."
Xia Tian's voice fell, and the enthusiasm of everyone in the audience, whether they were pirates or navy, was almost instantly ignited. The entire square of the navy headquarters was already a heated scene.
On the command post, Garp was leaning on his head, his old face full of disappointment.
"Hey, it would be great if I could be ten years younger. Old man, I could go out and see what the outside world is like."
"It would be worth dying if I could really see it."
"Hey, I really don't know what to say about you. Garp, since we got to know each other, you can't stop. You're usually either fighting or on the way to a fight."
"It's a new era now. We old men are already half-buried, so why should we interfere in the affairs of young people?"
"I don't like the starry sky. I just want to blow the sea breeze and watch the seagulls at the Navy Headquarters. I can eat my favorite senbei every day. This kind of life is what I like best,"
"Let's forget about all the fighting and killing."
Looking at the entire naval headquarters, there seems to be no one who is qualified to tease Garp except Marshal Sengoku.
As the old marshal spoke, he was still chewing the senbei in his mouth with satisfaction.
"Hmph, you think everyone is the same as you. Life is about being energetic. Otherwise, if someone is as rough as you, and his bones will hurt for half a month after a battle, what use will it be?"
Garp snorted coldly, his words full of disdain for his old buddy.
"Hey, Garp, do you dare to tell me again? Believe it or not, I will punch the snot out of your nose."
"Okay, all the strength I have in this life has been put to good use. If you want to fight me, just come over here."
Within a few words, the atmosphere between the two old guys became extremely tense.
At this moment, their shoulders were suddenly pressed down by slender arms.
"You two can't just calm down. Look at how bad young people are. If you insist on fighting with each other, you will be buried soon. What's the point of this?"
"Oh, Xiaohe is right, we should look at the young people."
"Well, that's right. Their competition seems to be about to begin. My disciple will definitely perform well."
The appearance of Vice Admiral He of the Navy Headquarters immediately silenced the two old naughty boys.
Sitting there obediently watching the competition, he looked like a child who had been taught a lesson.
"Colonel of the Navy Headquarters, Kirby, please enlighten me."
"Oh, this is a young baby. Are there no people in your navy headquarters? A child with such a weak will can already be promoted to colonel."
"I heard that your teacher is Garp. That guy is really old-sighted now."
"Child, you'd better go down. If I, the leader of the Wizard Pirates, Azor attacks you, even if I can win, it will still insult my own reputation. It would be better if Garp comes over instead."
The first battle began, and naturally the first to take the stage were the leaders of the navy and pirate delegations.
Xia Tian is considered a representative of the young faction in the Navy Headquarters, so this general also tends to be younger in terms of personnel appointments.
He believed that opportunities were given to young people, so as a direct disciple of Lieutenant General Karp, Kerby, who had been promoted to colonel when he was less than 20 years old, became the best representative of the navy.
Unfortunately, in the first battle, he met the opponent's representative, Azor, the legendary leader of the Wu Pirates 20 years ago.
Back then, this man's reputation was very powerful. Two generals from the Navy Headquarters worked together but failed to capture him. They forced the commander to escape.
From then on, there was no news about him on the Grand Line, as if he had never been in this world.
"Captain Azor, please face your opponent squarely. I think you should have heard what General Xia Tian said about the Yangtze River: the waves behind push the waves ahead,"
"It is a taboo to underestimate young people, and it is even more undesirable to underestimate me. I will prove for myself and Lieutenant General Garp, Captain Xia Tian, that I am the leader of the navy's delegation."
Kebi said categorically, Shen Xing had already started to move at this moment, faster than the naked eye could catch.
As a colonel-level figure, Marine Type 6 has obviously been thoroughly used by Tower.
"Huh, in front of me, these are just little tricks, they are of no importance at all."
"Black Ghost"
A burst of black mist floated around Azor, and what followed were unrealistic figures.
