The next day, the sun was high in the sky. The huge fortress city of Marlin Frodo, the navy headquarters, still stood on the sea, exuding dignity and dominance. The power of justice and majestic momentum could be felt here at any time.
Although the streets behind the fortress had just been destroyed by the Golden Lion, the powerful mobilization of the navy had already restored the streets of Marlinford to its former prosperity.
The rebuilt streets were also strictly divided into inner and outer areas. The inner area had stricter protection. At any time, there would be a general or three lieutenant generals guarding it to prevent the Golden Lion tragedy from happening again.
The inner area was basically the residence of the direct family members of the navy. There were also some high-ranking residences of the navy generals. The lowest level of Brigadier General, such as the Sengoku, the Steel Skeleton, and others lived here, including Karp. Although Karp rarely lived in Marlin Frodo, the navy arranged his house for him in the inner area.
The innermost part of the inner area was the VIP reception area. For example, the kings and princesses of some large countries would be arranged here. The most luxurious villa in the VIP reception area was empty all year round. It was prepared for the Heavenly Dragon people and had the highest security and luxury level.
The outer area was mainly for the distant relatives of the admirals and the officers below Brigadier General. There were also some merchants, civilians, and sailors who served Marlin Frodo.
Ordinary people who came to visit the navy headquarters were also arranged to stay in hotels in the outer area. In short, the outer area was a place that guaranteed the lives of nearly a million people in Marlinford.
On a beach in this bustling city, Ze Long finally woke up and sat up from the weeds. He felt like he had a dream. He dreamed that he had transformed into a big white bird flying freely in the universe. He didn't remember anything else.
Now, he felt refreshed. His body, which had been overdrawn by bitter cultivation yesterday, had completely recovered. He only felt empty in his stomach and unbearable hunger.
Ze Long got up and was ready to find a place to fill his stomach before going to the naval academy to take the test. However, he suddenly remembered that Lieutenant Colonel Tiano had only been acting cool when he left and didn't even leave a single cent for himself.
He couldn't possibly dine and dash for his first meal.
His plan had changed. He was going to look for Tina first before going for a meal. Then, he would take the naval academy test. After he passed the test, he would be able to dine at the navy cafeteria, so he no longer had to worry about food. Sigh, it was truly difficult for a hero to win with just a single penny. Being a pirate gave him a lot of freedom, and all he had to do was rob others. However, Ze Long would rather die than do that.
A moment later, near the center of Marlin Frodo's outer region, a large academy stood there with a majestic aura.
Before he even got close, he could see the words " Navy Academy " written on the gate. It was obvious how much the Navy attached importance to this academy.
There were more than a dozen soldiers guarding the entrance of the naval academy, and the leader was a major. It was unbelievable. Lieutenant Colonel Tiano could already lead a small warship when he was still a major.
However, the captain of the security team of the naval academy was actually a major. From his burly body, it could be seen that his strength was definitely not inferior to Lieutenant Colonel Tiano. Ze Long smiled knowingly. The next time he saw Lieutenant Colonel Tiano, he could tease him.
A pink-haired Tina in a cute outfit was looking around the entrance of the naval academy in frustration.
There was also a little boy beside her. The little boy seemed to like Tina a lot because his eyes never left Tina's body. The little boy was also carrying a samurai sword that was longer than his own height on his back. It seemed that he was also here to take the naval academy test.
"Why isn't Big Brother Ze Long here yet? Tina is so angry! I'm so angry!" Tina paced back and forth uneasily.
The boy walked over and took out a candy." Tina, have some candy. You won't be angry if you eat candy."”
"Oh, go away, Logan! Tina is angry!" Tina pushed the little boy away.
It turned out that the little boy was called Logan. He looked like a little bootlicker. Ze Long, who saw him from afar, smiled.
"Tina!" Ze Long shouted from afar.
Tina's expression immediately brightened up upon hearing this, and she ran over happily and threw herself into Ze Long's arms.
"I thought you forgot about the test today. I went to your place but couldn't find you, so I waited for you at the entrance of the military academy. Tina was so afraid that she wouldn't be able to find you.”
The boy named Logan had also arrived, but he was currently glaring at Ze Long. Ze Long felt that if Tina wasn't around, this boy would have rushed up to bite him.
However, he was just a little brat. Ze Long didn't plan to argue too much with him. How could a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?
Tina, did you bring money?" Ze Long asked the question he was most concerned about.
" Yes, I did." Tina handed all her money to Ze Long as she spoke.
Ze Long looked at it and felt that it was still not enough. His current appetite was at least 50 servings, but he would eat something simple first.
Tina noticed something in Ze Long's eyes, and she turned to Logan." Logan, lend me your money first."”Then, he extended his hand to Logan.
Logan reluctantly took out a handful of money, and Tina handed it over to Ze Long without even counting it.
Ze Long and Tina sat down at a restaurant near the entrance of the naval academy and started eating. Ze Long's astonishing appetite attracted the attention of many people, and even the owner, who had seen many rear admirals eat, was shocked because Ze Long still looked like a child.
Tina watched as Ze Long gulped down his food with sparkling eyes, while Logan muttered to himself," Big Good-For-Nothing."
However, Tina still heard him, and she said angrily,""Idiot, don't say bad things about brother Ze Long. Brother Ze Long eats a lot because he is strong. He will become the strongest navy in the future!”
Tina hadn't forgotten about Ze Long's ambition for the past two years.
"Hmph, you're bragging shamelessly. You're a frog at the bottom of a well. You're not even a soldier of the navy, yet you still say that you're the strongest navy.”
Ze Long and the other two looked at the person who spoke. It was also a boy around 13 or 14 years old. He was tall and thin, and his face was cold. The most impressive thing about him was that there was an X-shaped scar on his chin.
"Who are you? You're not allowed to say bad things about brother Ze Long. My dad said that the bigger the appetite, the stronger the power.”Tina questioned him angrily.
The boy stood up, but he didn't walk to the table where Ze Long and the others were eating. Instead, he turned around and walked to the entrance of the restaurant." Those who are strong will definitely be able to eat. Those who can eat may not be strong, but they may also be good-for-nothing. Remember my name, X Drake. It will become a legendary name in the future."”With that, he turned around and left.
Hmph, who was I then? I was the future Vice Admiral of the Navy, the owner of the animal fruit, the ancient dragon-like fruit Tyrannosaurus Rex form, one of the future supernovas, and also a spy of the Navy lurking around Kaido. It was something to be proud of.
Judging from his tone just now, he must have eaten the Demon Fruit. His rapid growth in strength made him ambitious.
