The conversation between Ake and the young man also attracted the attention of the people around them.
The people around looked at Ake in surprise. They all thought the same as the young man, that Ake was a naughty kid who came to the navy to play house.
A burly man said to Ake.
"Little friend, your mother is calling you home for dinner. If your mother can't find you, she will be anxious."
"Hahahahaha…"
The burly man's seemingly teasing but actually concerned words made the surrounding people laugh out loud.
"Little fellow, quickly go back. This is not a place for you to play."
"Hahaha, that's right. Little kid, go back quickly. Otherwise, it won't be good if Uncle Navy chases you out later."
Ai Ke frowned. He was speechless at the concern and persuasion of the people around him.
"Do I look that weak? Can't a 10-year-old join the navy?”
Just as everyone was discussing Ake.
A berating voice sounded.
"What are you guys arguing about? Didn't I tell you? Please follow the rules and be quiet when registering!”
It was none other than the navy corporal from earlier.
When everyone saw the tall and sturdy navy corporal walking over with a gloomy face, they recalled the scene of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys. They hurriedly shut up and stood still to wait for the registration.
The corporal walked up to the crowd and frowned. He looked displeased and said,"
"What were you arguing about just now?”
The navy corporal looked at everyone with a stern expression, waiting for their answer.
At this moment, the young man behind Ake stood up and explained.
"Sir! We're not making a fuss. We're just persuading this child to go home and not cause trouble here."
The young man pointed at Ake.
"Hmm?"
The corporal raised his eyebrows. He was too focused on the crowd to notice the petite Ake. Now that the young man was pointing at him, he realized that there was a young man standing in front of him.
Ake stood up and said to the corporal.
"I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm really here to participate in the navy conscription."
The corporal raised his eyebrows again and looked at Ake with a strange expression.
In the navy corporal's memory, it had been a long time since he had encountered a child who came to cause trouble during the navy conscription.
The marine corporal walked up to Ake, squatted down, and said with what he thought was a gentle smile.
"Little friend, what's your name?"
" Ake," Ake answered simply.
"Hehe, Ake, right? Are you here to join the navy?"
Ake nodded.
"Ake, let me tell you, you're still young and not old enough to join the navy. You have to be at least 16 years old before you can join."
"Is there a rule that says ten years old can't join the navy?”Ai Ke asked.
The corporal shook his head and continued to explain patiently.
"Ai Ke, you have to know that life in the navy is very difficult. You have to get up early every day for training, and the content of the training is not something that you can endure at your age."
"Listen to your uncle, go home, and train more. When you're 16 years old, your uncle will definitely let you join the navy.”
The corporal looked at Ake's determined eyes and knew that Ake was not here to cause trouble. He really wanted to join the navy.
However, although the navy corporal recognized Ake's spirit, he did not think that Ake's age could support the navy mission. After all, the navy was a dangerous job. He had to fight pirates all the time, and there was the possibility of sacrifice at any time.
The navy corporal didn't want such a good seedling to die before it grew up, so he patiently persuaded Ake.
Ai Ke looked helpless, but he had already promised Teng Hu that he would join the navy and fulfill his dream from his previous life.
"What if I insist on joining the navy?”
Facing the persistent Ake, the marine felt a headache and helplessness. After thinking for a long time, the marine rolled his eyes and said,
"Then go catch a pirate for me. Hur hur, how about it? As long as you can catch a pirate with a bounty of a million dollars within a year, I'll agree to join you. If you can't complete it, then wait until you're 16 years old before joining the navy."
The marine corporal thought that if he said this, Ike would back off.
Ake nodded without hesitation.
"You said it yourself. I'll go catch a pirate now."
With that, Ake quickly left the navy recruitment office without looking back.
Looking at Ike, the corporal recalled his childhood.
At that time, the navy corporal was about 10 years old. He also came to say that he wanted to join the navy, but then he was told what he had just said by a navy officer.
The navy corporal was really going to catch the pirates, but after telling his parents about his thoughts, he was grounded by his parents. They meant that if you go to the navy to play, we know that you will be persuaded to come back sooner or later.
But if you really want to catch pirates, then stay at home obediently and wait until you're an adult and have the strength to go.
The navy corporal thought that Ike would be persuaded by his family or even grounded like him.
Little did he know that it was his father, Teng Hu, who suggested that Ai Ke join the navy.
This was why Teng Hu had let Ake join the navy so early.
The main reason was that although Ake looked young, he was very mature in terms of mentality and strength. This made Teng Hu often treat Ake as a small adult.
Teng Hu treated Ai Ke as a small adult, so he thought that Ai Ke was ready to join the navy.
That was why such an awkward thing had happened today.
……
(This explains why Ake didn't use his fruit ability or swordsmanship to get recognized and enter the navy.
It was mainly because Ake's understanding of the navy was still stuck in his previous life. In his previous life, the Marine Corps did not rely on strong combat strength to enter. It also required talent in various aspects, such as willpower and on-the-spot reaction.)
