Chapter 232 is coming to an end
The year 1490 in the Haiyuan calendar was destined to be an extraordinary year.
To this day, people on the sea still clearly remember the beginning of this year when a man named Leon Lex appeared out of nowhere.
It was the early morning of January 1490, 1 in the Haiyuan calendar. Along with the first rays of morning light in the east came the overwhelming swarms of newspaper gulls flying to all corners of the sea.
《Sea Calendar Year 1490! The King Goes to Sea!》
《Climb to the top of the world! The flames of war spread to the holy places of the gods!》
《The King of the New World! The man who rules the new world - Leon Lex! !》
Those stacks of white newspapers brought the world a shock unique to this era. For the first time, the holy land that had proudly stood at the top of the world for 800 years was suppressed with overwhelming intimidation!
Soon after, the New World changed its flag, the entire navy evacuated the New World, and many kingdoms were divided up by pirate forces. The member states that were once protected by the naval branch, or even non-member states, all became waters under the command of the great pirates.
But the shock that Lex brought to the world this year is obviously more than that.
A few months later, the Pentleras World Expo, which spread all over the world, pushed Lex's personal power to the peak. Even some insiders knew Lex's official identity during this period - the Executive Prime Minister of the World Government.
During the World Expo, people witnessed the true peak power of this ocean. Due to the lack of transportation and information, most people didn’t even know what Haki or Devil Fruit were.
And now, most people have more or less pursued the power in these extraordinary realms.
However, if that were the case alone, the year 1490 in the Haiyuan calendar would not be so special.
After the Pentles World Expo ended, the World Government issued an order for a global conscription!
The navy is expanding and recruiting a large number of new soldiers. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the government's attempt to counter the increasingly rampant evil forces of pirates in the New World.
However, those who knew some inside information were confused.
Lex himself is one of the highest leaders of the government. He is the prime minister and has great power. Why should he fight against the New World?
In other words, Lex's position is too complicated, so complicated that even some people around him can't understand it. He seems to be doing whatever he wants, but people can clearly feel that he definitely has a huge conspiracy that he is not going to reveal.
So far, three major world events have been deeply engraved on this era!
In addition, there are countless undercurrents hidden beneath these grand events, known only to a few people.
The underground world was secretly unified, several kingdoms in the New World were destroyed, Vegapunk was brought back to the Red Earth Continent by Dragon and joined the government, Lex became the Prime Minister, and Zefa's wife and children were killed...
The sea is so vast and there are countless islands.
Between the sea breeze and the waves are the moments of everyone's life. These moments put together make up his life. Everyone's life is intertwined with each other, and different stories collide and merge with each other to interpret this era.
The sea is still rough and the sea breeze is still blowing...

North Sea Naval Headquarters.
"Sakaski, Borsalino, you will set off tomorrow, enter the Grand Line, and head for Marinford. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"Yes~"
The Governor of the North Sea, Berleman, handed each of them a document, which read:
《Application for the Navy Headquarters Elite Training Camp》
"…Sakaski, Borsalino, you are all new recruits, but from my personal observations over the past few days, you are all navy soldiers with your own justice. Okay, take a seat first."
Boleman motioned for the two to sit down.
Starting from tomorrow, these two people will go directly to the headquarters to participate in a three-year elite training camp. Their future achievements will definitely be better than mine.
"Let me digress. This is just my perspective as a colleague, not your superior. So it is up to you to decide how to think and what to do."
"Within the Kuowa~"
"..."
Borsalino wrinkled his wrinkled face in a playful way.
Sakaski continued to look grim.
Boleman coughed lightly:
"You two are both rare geniuses with unlimited future prospects. Unlike me, although I hold an important position, I am trapped in the North Sea for life. If you achieve something in the future, please take care of me."
After saying this, the office fell into silence.
Boleman was looking forward to their answers.
Sakaski shrugged it off.
Borsalino seemed not to have heard anything. He just pouted his sexy and obscene lips with a dull look in his eyes.
"Cough cough!"
"Don't worry, Governor. We both remember your kindness."
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
A smile appeared on Boleman's face, but he felt very strange inside.
Why did this normal sentence become distorted when it came out of Borsalino's mouth?
It sounded like Borsalino was taking the opportunity to mock Boleman for wanting to get promoted and make money, but given Borsalino's strange personality, Boleman didn't take it seriously and thought that both of them had agreed to his request.
After leaving the Governor's office, the two returned to their dormitories.
"Borsalino, you did a great job just now."
Sakaski rarely took the initiative to speak, and even more rarely praised our wretched Admiral Kizaru.
"Huh?~ What is Sakaski-san saying? Why can't I understand?~"
"Humph."
Sakaski said no more.
Borsalino smiled obscenely.
The two of them had a good rapport.
Yes, just now, Boleman asked the two to make things convenient for him in the future and help him get promoted and make money after he achieved something, but the two did not agree at all.
When Borsalino said that, he was using the character he had created in the past to mock Boleman, the Governor of the North Sea who only cared about his future.
Sakaski was even more disdainful and watched coldly.
For these two people, if Boleman did not mention this matter, just based on the act of recommending them to the headquarters, they would more or less repay him and provide some help within their duties.
However, when Boleman brought it up on his own initiative, his words and deeds revealed collusion of interests and mutual protection among officials.
This kind of thing is looked down upon by not only an absolute righteous person like Sakaski but even Borsalino.
How can we help him when he achieves something in the future?
Besides, who knows whether there will be any achievements in the future?
The next day, Sakaski and Borsalino boarded a naval warship bound for Marinford, facing the dazzling morning sun, feeling the cool sea breeze, and witnessed by seagulls, they set sail!
The glorious era of the navy slowly began at this moment.
