Chapter 50 That kid's knife is really good!

"Yuanyi, the task we were assigned was actually to help in the boiler room"

"Is the colonel of this branch underestimating us too much?"

In the power room of the Navy's 133 branch warship, Cyrus was shirtless. After adding a shovelful of solid fuel into the furnace, he closed the door of the furnace, sighed, and said to Ji Guoyuan beside him.

"It's not underestimated, how do I know?"

"It's also the first time for me to go to sea as a third-class soldier in the navy. Although according to regulations, third-class soldiers belong to combatants, so I shouldn't have to do these things."

"However, on this ship, it may be the job of a third-class soldier."

At this time, Ji Guoyuanyi was wearing a sailor's uniform, with gloves on in both hands, and a shovel in the other hand, looking at the blazing fire in front of him, and replied.

Ji Guoyuanyi originally thought that going to sea as an apprentice was like being on the Kapu boat, where he would fight pirates when he encountered pirates, and he could practice by himself in normal times. No matter how bad it is, it is like an ordinary third-class soldier, responsible for looking out, patrolling, and participating in battles when encountering battles.

But unlike Ji Guoyuanyi's imaginary sea training, after he and Cyrus boarded the ship, they were sent directly to the power room to burn the boilers, like slaves.

Navy warships are different from those purely wind-powered sailing ships on the sea. The power room of the warship needs to burn boilers.

The fuel used is a kind of black stone, Yuanyi looked carefully, it looks a bit like coal, but it is not the same thing as coal, and the weight of this solid fuel is also quite heavy, and its density is much higher than coal , perhaps a special fuel in the world of One Piece.

In order to maintain the power of the warship, Yuanyi and Cyrus had to keep adding fuel to the boiler, that is to say, Cyrus refueled so fast that they had a little rest time.

"Responsible work? It shouldn't be. I remember that there are conscripts among the personnel of the warship. This matter should be done by conscripts, right?"

"Although the two of us are third-class soldiers, we are also students of the Naval Academy after all. If the apprenticeship at sea is to burn a boiler, what is the apprenticeship?"

"And if third-class soldiers are responsible for burning boilers, where will the servicemen on warships go?"

"On Lieutenant General Karp's warship, there are special soldiers responsible for this kind of thing."

During his time at the Naval Academy, Cyrus had a good understanding of the navy's operating system, and when communicating with the lieutenants and non-commissioned officers of the same period, he also asked what to do on the warship.

Moreover, Cyrus stayed on Garp's ship for a while when he followed Garp back to the Navy headquarters. He was also a third-class soldier at that time. His usual work was patrolling, looking out, and sometimes he was responsible for reefing sails and anchors. Although things are complicated, but I have never done the job of burning boilers.

At this time, Cyrus seemed to have not understood the subtext in Yuan Yi's words, and said with some doubts.

"Sarah, who knows."

"Yes, Cyrus."

"Stop asking this question."

"Also, don't mention that you are a student at the Naval Academy, whether on this ship or after you have gone to Branch 133."

Yuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said casually.

Hearing this, Cyrus looked at Jiguo Yuanyi suspiciously. Yuanyi didn't seem to understand or explain when he saw Cyrus. Just when Cyrus was about to continue to say something, the door of the power room was suddenly pushed open.

A young navy man about 175cm in size and wearing a sailor uniform walked in, looked at Guoyuanyi and Cyrus for a while, and asked with a smile: "You two are the ones assigned to our 133 branch. A recruit?"

Ji Guoyuanyi and Cyrus looked at each other and nodded towards the visitor.

"Hehehe, you are the elite of the headquarters!"

"My name is Joseph Caso, and I am a sergeant in the 133rd branch of the Navy. From now on, we will all be our own people."

"By the way, what's your name?"

The young navy briefly introduced himself, and then asked Yuanyi and Cyrus.

"Hello, Sergeant Joseph, my name is Ji Guoyuan, I am 17 years old, and I am a third-class soldier!"

As soon as Yuan heard the words, he smiled and introduced himself, but his self-reported age stunned Cyrus, who knew clearly that Ji Guoyuan was 12 years old !

Although Yuanyi's height is 170cm, which is about the same as some ordinary adults, Cyrus knows Jiguo Yuanyi's real age, and he doesn't know why Yuanyi lied.

However, Cyrus was not stupid enough to expose Ji Guoyuan at this time, recovered himself, and also introduced himself:

"Hello, Sergeant Joseph, my name is Cyrus, I am 17 years old, and I am a third-class soldier."

Joseph Caso nodded, and suddenly joked to the two:

"Oh! Ji Guoyuan, you look so young, you have a baby face."

"Cyrus, you are really tall and big, you don't look like 17 years old at all, hahaha."

As soon as Yuan heard the words, he only smiled implicitly, showing neither closeness nor alienation. On the other hand, Cyrus scratched his head in embarrassment, acting like an honest man.

"After Guoyuanyi, Cyrus, we will be friends and companions from now on. In the days to come, we must work together with all our strength."

Joseph Caso said with a sincere face. After finishing speaking, he paused, and then seemed to think of something, and asked curiously:

"By the way, Yuanyi, Cyrus, how did you two join the navy at the headquarters? Why were you transferred to our Xihai 133 branch?"

Cyrus opened his mouth slightly, and just about to answer, he heard Ji Guoyuan say with a smile:

"Sergeant Joseph, to tell you the truth, the two of us were originally bounty hunters, but we were caught in a shipwreck a month ago and were rescued by a major general in the headquarters."

"In order to repay the kindness of the navy, the two of us who just joined the navy became third-class soldiers."

"As for why they were assigned to branch 133, maybe it's because branch 133 is short of manpower, hahaha."

Yuanyi laughed and made up a story casually. Although Cyrus was puzzled, he nodded and didn't interrupt.

Joseph Caso glanced at the knife on Ji Guoyuan's waist and the long sword on Cyrus' back seemingly inadvertently, nodded, then smiled, and said: "Pirate hunters are finally It’s not as stable as our navy.”

"Your choices are really wise!"

"Speaking of which, I have other things to talk about when I have time."

"Oh, by the way, I will tell Captain Haig about your situation. Since I used to be a pirate hunter, it is an overkill to be assigned to do this job."

"But today you are still in charge of this matter for the time being, wait for my news."

After Joseph Kaso finished speaking, he waved to Ji Guoyuan and left the power room. Yuanyi and Cyrus sent each other off with smiles on their faces. After Joseph Kaso left, Yuanyi looked away, opened the door of the boiler, shoveled two pieces of fuel, and threw them into the furnace.

Yuan Yi looked at the blazing fire, his face was flushed red. Cyrus turned his head and glanced at Ji Guoyuan, and opened his mouth, but he still didn't ask the doubt in his heart.

The door of the office of the 133 warship was suddenly opened.

A smell of smoke slipped out of the office and quickly spread outside. Joseph Caso walked quickly into the office and closed the door behind him.

This is the office of Colonel Kane, the highest officer of the Navy's 133 branch. At this time, Kane is sitting on the sofa, with his feet on the coffee table in front of the sofa, a cigar in his mouth, and his eyes are blank. Looking at the ceiling, swallowing clouds.

His unrestrained appearance is completely different from his upright and serious appearance when he was reporting his duties in the Warring States Office.

"How about it?!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Joseph Casso walking into the office. Kane focused his eyes, turned his head, and asked Joseph.

"Hey, Colonel, there shouldn't be any problem, just two ordinary recruits."

"I used to be a pirate hunter, and I just joined the navy a month ago."

Kane nodded slightly upon hearing this. And Joseph's eyes suddenly showed a strong color of excitement, and he said to Kane: "Colonel, I think the weapon in the red-haired boy's hand is very good. After you get to the West Sea, you can see if you can."

Before Joseph could finish speaking, Kane looked condensed, sat up suddenly, grabbed Joseph by the collar, pulled him to him, and asked in a cold voice: "You said... that kid's weapon is not bad?! "

"How good is it?!"

Yosip didn't know why Kane had such a big reaction, and hurriedly said: "That's right. The scabbard is very beautiful. Although I haven't seen the scabbard, but with such a scabbard, it shouldn't be bad. A lot of money."

"laugh!"

After listening, Kane pushed Joseph away, got up and walked to the window, silent for a long time, suddenly sneered, and then whispered to himself:

"Pirate hunter, hehehehe, do you think I'm a fool?!"

"Since you want to play, let's play with you!"
