Not long after he returned to his room and lay on his bed, Zefa walked in.
"Clive, come with me. You've already recovered, haven't you?”
Clive pretended to be seriously ill and said,"What are you talking about, Teacher Zefa? I just woke up!"
Stop pretending, I saw you fishing last night
“……”
Clive was very helpless. He did not expect to be discovered when he sneaked out to fish after he was done.
The other three were still asleep, and Zefa did not care about them. He dragged Clive out of bed and walked out.
On the way, Clive asked,
"Teacher Zefa, where are we going?”
"New World!"
When Clive heard the location, he was so scared that he almost flipped over
"Hey hey hey, Teacher Zefa, don't you think it's still too early for me to go to the new world?”
"Relax, I'm just letting you intern on Karp's ship. When those three kids recover, they'll come to Karp's ship to accompany you."
"That's not what I care about."
Clive was dragged to Karp's boat.
However, something unexpected happened at this time.
Before he boarded the boat, he saw a person in front of the boat--
Beside him, his adjutant was holding a navy cloak with a military rank on it.
According to Clive's experience in the navy, this was the rank of a navy colonel.
When Sengoku saw Clive being dragged over by Zefa, he also said loudly,
"Third class private Clive, step forward!"
Zefa let go of Clive, and Clive quickly walked to Sengoku and stood at attention.
Zhan Guo looked at his panicked actions and couldn't help but laugh,""You can't do this. Today is your promotion ceremony."
He waved his hand, and the adjutant behind him also stepped forward and draped the cloak over Clive's shoulders. Then, he placed the rank of colonel on Clive's shoulder.
" From today onwards, you will be a colonel in the navy headquarters. This is the highest rank you can get without any military merits. After that, it will depend on your hard work. Remember, you have not graduated from the navy elite camp."
The words of the warring states made Clive a little confused.
He was promoted just like that?
A colonel's salary is not something a big soldier can compare to.
After all, if he was in the Four Seas, he could completely oversee a base or even a large area of the sea as a colonel.
Clive was naturally not a fool. He asked,""Um…can I ask why?”
After hearing this, Sengoku laughed and said," With the strength of you, Sakasugi, Polusalino, and Dolag, there won't be too many people who would question me even if I promoted you to be a general. However, that's the system of the navy."
Then, he said the main reason,""Of course, as the face of the headquarters, you can't just be a third-class soldier when you go to the new world. You'll be laughed at by those pirates! If they say that the navy looks down on talent, it won't be good."
Clive also understood the meaning of Warring States. Even if he lost, he had to lose.
After all, with Clive's strength, he could be a cadre in any pirate group. What if this future star of the navy was kidnapped by someone with flowery words (referring to Roger)?
Especially after Clive boarded the ship, his main target was Roger.
Roger was famous for his poaching ability, and the warring states had to be wary of him.
Of course, this did not change Clive's attitude towards the navy. After all, the navy had never been a symbol of justice in his heart.
He didn't think of himself as a person with a strong sense of justice. He was just an ordinary person with some kindness.
He wouldn't be like Karp, who silently dedicated himself. Even if his family died in front of him, he wouldn't go against his principles as a navy officer.
If he had transmigrated into Karp's body, he would definitely have betrayed him on the spot during the war.
This is the difference between him and most people who joined the Navy with so-called "justice."
However, it was better to keep these words in his heart. After all, he was quite happy in the Navy now. He was happy to be able to get a dead salary.
"Thank you, General of the Warring States Period." Clive bowed and said to Zefa,"Thank you.""Teacher Zefa, see you in a few days."
Zefa patted him on the shoulder and said," Kid, don't embarrass the navy. Catch Roger with Karp!"
Knowing Roger's strength, Clive could only pander on the surface and complain behind his back.
"If I can get Roger back, I'll eat my knife with soy sauce."
Clive walked onto Karp's dog-headed warship, then leaned against the railing and looked back at Marlin Fando.
Although he had only been here for a month, the memories he had here were much more than the boring life in the small naval base in the East China Sea.
This was his second home.
Even if he might leave the navy in the future, he would sneak back here to take a look.
Of course, the premise was that he wasn't put on a bounty.
Karp walked behind him and said,"Kid, stop looking. Every month, we will return to Marlin Fando to prepare. Sigh, if only the new world had a naval base."
Clive turned around and said,"Soon, Capsang."
"Can I take it as the heroic words of a young man?”Karp laughed out loud and patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to some immortal shells! Hahahaha!"
Karp walked away happily.
Clive looked at Karp and sighed.
"What an old brat…How old is he now? He should be around 50 or 60 years old, right?"
Clive looked at the sea in the distance and felt that his life in the next month was a little unpredictable.
