One Piece: Shadow of the Navy

Chapter 6 Freshmen



"Death? Why do you think of death?" Kurt's face still showed no expression.

Cohen looked up at him and said, "I am a pirate and was caught by the navy. Can I still survive?"

When he asked this question, his tone was full of hope, caution, and careful testing.

"Then do you want to live?" Coint didn't pay attention to the temptation in his words.

Cohen's sudden question caught Cohen off guard, but he didn't hesitate at all, "I think."

"Interesting," Kornt smiled, turned and ordered Grote, who was following him, "Lieutenant, give this brat a set of soldier's clothes."

"Kid, whether you can survive depends on your value. If you make me feel that you are worthy of living for the Navy, then you can survive. If you fail to show your value to the Navy, Then your life will not be saved, show me your worth."

After saying these words, Coent turned and left.

Cohen's words made him dizzy. After a while, he came back to his senses. He put his shackled hands to his right ear at the same time and saluted a weird military salute, "Yes, Navy grown ups."

"Kid, if you're not Lord Marine, you should call me Commander." Grote corrected Cohen's title to Coint.

"Yes, Lord Marine." Cohen saluted Grote again with his hand that had not yet been lowered.

"Call me Lieutenant, Lieutenant Grote."

"Yes, Lieutenant Grote."

Grote corrected Cohen's address to him. Then, he turned to a soldier on the side and said, "Soldier, take him down. Did you hear what the commander just said? Make arrangements."

"Follow him, he will be responsible for arranging your affairs." Grote pointed to the soldiers and said to Cohen.

"Yes, Lieutenant Grote."

"Yes, Lieutenant Grote."

Cohen and the soldier named by Grote answered at the same time.

Grote ignored the two men and left quickly, chasing the direction in which Coint left.

"Commander, do you really want to recruit him into the navy?" Grote caught up with Coint who was walking slowly. He endured it and asked anyway.

"Huh? What, do you think there's something wrong?" Coint glanced at Grote, who was a little uneasy, and asked in a casual tone.

Grote saw that Coint's tone was casual and showed no sign of dissatisfaction, and he became more courageous. "He is still a child. Is it appropriate to recruit him into the navy so early?"

"It doesn't matter if he is a child. Besides, the information says that he ate a devil fruit. As long as he grows up, he will be a powerful fighter for the navy."

"But his Devil Fruit can't be used at all, and we don't know whether he actually ate the Devil Fruit or not."

"Actually, judging from his current performance, regardless of whether he is a Devil Fruit user or not, his combat power will definitely not be weak when he grows up."

"But he has been among pirates for so many years. If he is recruited into the navy like this, will it have a bad impact?"

"When I said I wanted to recruit the ship's doctor into the navy, you didn't say that. He has also been among the pirates for three years." Coint turned and looked at Grote, "Grote, None of what you just said is the reason why you really don’t like to see him. Tell me, why do you dislike him so much?”

Grote murmured, looked up at Coint, and mustered up the courage to speak out his true thoughts, "He is only ten years old now, but he can beat three people to death. I think, is this too much?" Cruel...or should I say a bit more ruthless? Besides, he has been among the pirates for so long, so there may be no way to change this."

"Humph." Coint smiled, "Now in this sea area, pirates are becoming more and more rampant, and the world is becoming more and more chaotic. In this world, as long as his heart is towards the navy, he will be ruthless ...In other words, being vicious is actually an advantage."

"Groat, you have the strength, the resources, and the future is very bright, but what you lack now is this kind of ruthlessness. If you can't learn this kind of ruthlessness, then you will inevitably face difficulties on the way forward. It will be covered with a veil, and even if it doesn't stop you, it will temporarily stop you."

"But this is the reason why your father sent you to me. You grew up in our hometown and have never seen the hardships of the world, so you don't have such a heart. When you experience more, you will eventually growing."

Coint patted Grote on the shoulder, said nothing more, turned and left, leaving Grote thinking alone.

In the G-6 branch base, Cohen, who had taken off his shackles, was walking behind the soldier named by Grote. The two were heading to the personnel office to register information for Cohen.

"Brother, don't know what to call me?" Along the way, Cohen approached the soldier.

"Private First Class Sebiki." The soldier was still aloof, and after saying this, he said nothing more.

Sebiki.

Cohen looked at Sebiki who was walking with a serious face and did not talk to him again.

Don't know where this base is? G-6 is a branch that has never appeared before. However, if it starts with G, it is all on the Grand Line. I just don’t know whether it is in Paradise or the New World?

Coint, a navy man I have never heard of, looks like he is quite old. He is still in the branch. I don’t know if he was sent down or if he comes here to retire, but for retirement, he should stay at the headquarters.

The commander of the G-8 branch, Jonathan, is a lieutenant general. I wonder if he is also the commander of a branch starting with G. What is his identity?Lieutenant General?Or a junior major general?

Why would he let me join the navy?Is it because of the devil fruit I ate?But now I have no idea what kind of devil fruit I ate, nor do I know how to use it.

Damn it, why do I have no memory of him?What fruit did this bastard eat?Damn it.

But the body he left behind is really good. If I didn't have such a good body, I would have died long ago in the past three years.

I don’t know if it’s due to the influence of the Devil Fruit, but I have such strong resilience and strength than adults. I’m only ten years old now. I wonder how strong I will be when I become an adult?I want to practice swordsmanship, but I don’t know if I can be as strong as Zoro. I can lift huge rocks casually and lead people like catching chickens.

I now habitually stay in the shadows. I didn’t have this hobby before. I wonder if it’s due to the influence of Devil Fruit?Or is it because he had this habit before and now it affects me?

Devil Fruit... After the host dies, it will leave and regenerate elsewhere. Is it because the Devil Fruit has left after he died, so I can't use my ability?

hateful.

I can no longer use my abilities, but this fear of water... I wonder if I can overcome it?This weakness is too serious and must be tried.

However, let’s not think so far ahead now. This world… let’s survive first.

The status of a handyman soldier, who is responsible for doing chores, is really too low.But it's much better than being in the Frodi Pirates.

I don't know what time it is.

Cohen turned his head and looked outside through the corridor window.On the blue sea, seagulls are soaring.
