Also, Hao Zi didn't pay attention to when Qing Zhi and the others got their titles. He thought that it was because of their abilities. Thank you for your reminder.
When Marin Fando was mentioned, most people would associate it with the title of the Navy Headquarters and associate it with the highest combat power, iron walls, absolute justice, and so on. However, only the locals of Marin Fando did not think so. To them, Marin Fando was a place that protected them from war and danger...
In the northwestern part of the residential area of Malinfando, there were all kinds of shops on the bustling streets. Men and women dressed in different clothes came and went in an endless stream. Occasionally, a few children would come out of nowhere to chase and play. It was a harmonious tension everywhere.
Zhang Yang carried Broken Water in his hands as he walked through the crowd. He was curious about the surroundings. Although he knew that Marin Fando had a residential area for ordinary people, he did not expect it to be like this.
Compared to the villages and islands outside that had been invaded by pirates, this place was simply heaven on earth!
Of course, if there was no war in the future…
Zhang Yang added in his heart.
The streets were filled with people, but not many people paid attention to him. At most, some people would be surprised by Zhang Yang's youth.
Zhang Yang just walked around aimlessly. Occasionally, he would see some food and drink, and he would go up to buy some to taste.
As for where the money came from? Naturally, it was from Karp!
"Hmm?"
All of a sudden, Zhang Yang stopped in his tracks and looked at a library. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled.
Speaking of which, he still didn't know much about the situation outside! They were about to go out to sea, so they could use the library to understand the situation outside.
Zhang Yang did as he was told. He threw the empty cup into the trash can and walked into the library.
From the outside, it did not look like much. However, when Zhang Yang entered the library, he realized that the library was quite big. At this moment, there were already some people inside the library.
Zhang Yang looked around and found some books about history. He picked up a book about modern history and sat down to read it.
Until noon…
Pa!
Zhang Yang gently closed the last book and let out a long breath. A strange smile appeared on his face.
After some understanding, he had a rough idea of the current situation outside.
First of all, the Pirate King, Gor D. Roger, had been executed three years ago. In other words, it was now the third year since the start of the era of the great pirates. In order to find the great secret treasure that the Pirate King had mentioned before he died, countless pirates rushed to the sea. The outside world was now a world of pirates.
Secondly, there was one thing that Zhang Yang was more concerned about. At this time, the Four Kings and Seven Martial Seas had not yet been established. However, some of them had already become famous in the sea, causing the navy and the World Government to have a headache. On the other hand, the conflict between the merfolk and humans was getting worse by the day. A large number of merfolk were killed and sold by humans, and they were completely shrouded in the shadow of humans.
After that, there were some things that had happened in recent years, such as the Golden Lion's prison break, the Ohara incident, and so on.
All in all, this was a new era for Zhang Yang. He felt unfamiliar with it, but he was filled with anticipation.
Although there was no one familiar with the straw hat pirates in the original novel, the situation was more chaotic than the original novel. This chaotic situation was just right for him to show his skills.
"Chambord Islands……I'm looking forward to it more and more! I wonder if I can meet Riley…"
Zhang Yang returned the book back to the bookshelf and thought to himself with anticipation. He then walked out of the library and squinted his eyes to look at the glaring sun in the sky. He stretched his body and walked towards the direction of the navy headquarters.
After a while, Zhang Yang returned to the navy headquarters.
"Major Zhang Yang!"
The few navy soldiers standing at the entrance of the headquarters immediately saluted Zhang Yang when they saw him. They shouted loudly, causing Zhang Yang to be stunned for a moment before he finally reacted.
"I forgot that I'm a major now…"
Zhang Yang rubbed his chin and smiled. He then smiled at the few navy men and walked into the navy headquarters.
Speaking of which, when he first heard that Cyborg wanted to give him the rank of Major, he was also shocked. The rank of Major was only lower than the rank of General. When Smoggy first appeared, he was only a Colonel. He did not expect him to be a Major right after he graduated. It seemed that Cyborg and the others really valued Zhang Yang!
Back in his room on the third floor, Zhang Yang had just taken a sip of tea when someone knocked on his door.
"Come in!"
Zhang Yang did not move. He took a sip of tea and continued.
Squeak!
The door was pushed open and a familiar man walked in.
"Lieutenant Colonel Carlo?"
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment. He called out the man's name with some uncertainty. If he remembered correctly, this was the lieutenant colonel who had sent him food for five days.
"It's me! I never thought that Major Zhang Yang would still remember me!”
Lieutenant Colonel Carlo smiled, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes. He secretly felt that his actions back then were wise. In just a year, he graduated from the naval academy and became a major in the naval headquarters. As long as he could cling to someone good, he might become a colonel or even a general in the future!
Zhang Yang naturally did not know what Carlo was thinking about. He put down his teacup and asked curiously,""Is there something you need from me?"
"Oh, it's like this."
Carlo quickly placed the clothes in his hands on the table in front of Zhang Yang and said,""This is the uniform for field officers. The marshal asked me to give it to you. Also, Lieutenant General Karp wants you to go to the square.”
"Square?" Zhang Yang was stunned.
Only then did Carlo realize that Zhang Yang did not seem to know much about this place. He quickly explained,""It's the empty space at the entrance of the alley."
"Oh! I understand. I'll go over now." Zhang Yang nodded and stood up.
"Then I'll take my leave first!"
Seeing this, even though Carlo wanted to touch Zhang Yang again, he still nodded and left.
Zhang Yang, on the other hand, took Broken Water and walked towards the plaza.
As expected, Zhang Yang could already see the muscular figure of Karp standing in the distance before he even reached the plaza.
"Old man, why are you looking for me?"
Zhang Yang walked over and asked casually. Instantly, a group of navy soldiers who happened to pass by widened their eyes. How dare he call Lieutenant General Karp an old man? Was this kid not afraid of death?
But soon, Karp's reaction made them even more incredulous.
"Haha! Aren't you coming out tomorrow? I have something to tell you!" Karp laughed loudly, then said with a nostalgic expression,"Speaking of which, it's been more than a year since I brought you back. Time flies!”
"Old man, when did you become so flirtatious? If you have something to say, then say it. If not, I'm leaving! I still have to pack my things!" Zhang Yang glanced at Karp and said impatiently.
"You brat, can't you be nicer to your savior?”Karp glared at Zhang Yang.
"Alright, alright, alright. Tell me, tell me!" Zhang Yang rubbed his ears and rolled his eyes.
Hearing this, Karp nodded in satisfaction. Then, he said with a serious expression,"Your current strength is indeed not bad, but you must not underestimate this sea. The sea is boundless, and there are countless people who are stronger than you, such as…"
After saying that, Karp suddenly threw a punch at Zhang Yang. It was just a normal punch, but Zhang Yang's face changed slightly, and a white lightning bolt exploded on his back…
Boom!
A loud explosion, accompanied by thick smoke and white lightning, suddenly sounded in the square, immediately scaring countless soldiers. They looked at the square vigilantly and raised their spears in unison.
"Put down your guns." A lazy voice was heard.
"Lieutenant General Kuzan!" The soldiers looked at Kuzan, who had suddenly appeared beside them, in surprise.
"Ah! Don't be nervous, it's okay, everyone just watch!”Kuzan waved his hand casually and looked at the smoke and dust. Zhang Yang, who was surrounded by lightning bolts, flew out from the smoke and dust. His feet left two long ditches on the ground before he slowly stopped. The lightning bolts around his body slowly disappeared, but his clothes were indeed torn by the lightning.
"Old man, what do you want?”
Zhang Yang steadied himself and looked at Karp who was walking out of the smoke.
Karp didn't answer. He said to himself,"" In the sea, the Devil Fruit of the Nature Element is publicly acknowledged as the invincible fruit. However, that is only for ordinary people. For experts, there is a way to deal with it. Your strength is sufficient, but you still lack the necessary strength to be a qualified expert..."
Karp looked up at Zhang Yang and said seriously,"" Since you're coming out tomorrow, then now…"
"Let me tell you the domineering cultivation method!”
