Chapter 27 Promotion and salary increase, Karp arrives
Navy Branch 153.
It was already three days after the incident of eradicating the evil dragon and Colonel Rat.
"Congratulations to Link for successfully destroying the Dragon Pirates and successfully dealing with the betrayer Colonel Mouse. Your rank has been promoted to captain of the Navy Headquarters! I hope you can continue to work hard and make more contributions to justice!"
"Thank you, sir, I will try my best!"
Link responded with a cheerful look on his face.
Originally, he thought that he would be promoted to the rank of Commodore of the Sihai Branch at most, but he never thought that he would be directly transformed into the Colonel of the Navy Headquarters!
According to the rules of the One Piece world, the same rank in the Navy Headquarters is three levels higher. This is equivalent to completing three consecutive jumps, one level higher than the original promotion to Commodore of the Shikai Branch!
“I didn’t expect that I could complete this small task and complete the triple jump!
I originally thought that I would have to wait until Luffy and the others overturned the Sand Crocodile Crocodile in Alabasta before they could be promoted to the Navy Headquarters!
Then in the future, after Luffy kills Crocodile, wouldn't it be possible for me to be promoted to Commodore of the Navy Headquarters like Smoker in the original book? ! "
Link thought in his mind.
But in fact, he didn't know whether Luffy could defeat Crocodile this time.
In the original work, the reason why Luffy was able to defeat Crocodile was because of the plot killing of the blood-locking plug-in.
After all, according to his performance in the top war, Crocodile's strength can fully match the elite lieutenant generals of the Navy Headquarters.
Even Link, who has now mastered Armament Haki, dare not say that he can defeat the opponent.
If Luffy really can't defeat the opponent by then, it wouldn't be a strange thing.
“Forget it, I’ve helped him enough, and I’ll leave the remaining hard bones to him to solve on his own.
Anyway, that guy is as talented in fighting as the Saiyans, and every battle is just a rare experience package for him. "
Link muttered to himself.
At the Cocosia gathering a day ago, he had already written a pamphlet on how to cultivate Armament Haki and Knowledge Haki and gave it to Luffy.
I believe that Luffy's strength will be higher than in the original work.
I just don't know if the other party can dissuade Ace and prevent the events of the war from happening.
If Luffy fails to stop Ace in the future, and the war on the top will still happen in the future, then they will have to face each other.
"Colonel Link, congratulations! Now we are in the same position in the Navy."
While Link was thinking, Smoker came over and handed Link a white cloak with 'Justice' engraved on it.
This is a cape specially made by the Navy Headquarters according to Link's figure. It is many times better than the ordinary cape that Link wore before, which was just standard for the Four Seas Branch.
"Colonel Smoker, you are not in Rogge Town. Is it possible that my three consecutive job jumps have something to do with you?"
Link saw Smoker actually appearing and made a joke.
"It has something to do with me." Smoker said slowly.
Link couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Smoker agreed.
You were just joking, but you didn't expect it to be true? !
"What? You still have this face?!"
Link didn't believe it.
If the other party really had this kind of face, he wouldn't have been demoted to the East China Sea in the first place.
"I recommended you to the Navy Headquarters, but that was also because you were strong enough...
As for why you can jump three times in a row, it was recommended by a senior officer in the navy. "
Smoker gave Link a slightly thoughtful look.
It seems to be saying that you are pretending! You keep pretending!
It turns out that you are the one who hides the deepest!
In fact, Smoker had some doubts about Link's identity at the beginning. After all, such proficiency in the Six Styles is not something that ordinary marines can master.
Even in the elite naval training camp where he originally studied, there were not many marines who could master any of the six moves.
He had never seen anyone like Link who could master multiple six forms with such proficiency.
At first, he thought Link was a talented and self-taught man!
But after that person asked Link to jump three levels in a row, he realized that Link should be that disciple!
"Okay, Link, stop pretending, I already know your relationship with that adult!
After hearing about your incident, that adult left his heavy work and rushed over to see you in person. Come with me. "
Smoker looked at Link who was still pretending to be speechless, and waved his hand to signal him to follow him.
"The higher-ups at the Navy Headquarters asked me to triple jump? Am I related to that adult? Who is that adult?!"
Link looked confused and his head was buzzing.
How come he didn't even know that he was related to the top brass of the Navy?
"Forget it, just take a look and you'll know who the senior naval officer is."
Link took a deep breath and slowly followed Smoker.
Soon, Smoker took him to a navy warship.
The moment he saw the dog-headed shape of the warship, Link instantly realized who the so-called top brass was.
"Lieutenant General Garp!!!"
Before Link could show his surprise, the navy on the side burst into deafening cheers when they saw Vice Admiral Garp appearing on the warship.
"Are you Link?"
Garp stepped off the warship and looked at a somewhat nervous Link with a meaningful smile.
"I heard that you made a lot of money by using my grandson! Are you treating my grandson as your black glove?"
Hearing that Garp seemed to have a bad tone, Link said nervously: "Hahaha! Vice Admiral Garp misunderstood, I just cooperated with your grandson."
"Really?"
Garp suddenly came in front of Link and stared at him very seriously.
Just when Link was quite nervous, Garp suddenly laughed and gave him a thumbs up.
"Good boy, you did a great job!
Since my grandson met that red-haired guy, he has been clamoring to be a pirate every day!
I beat him every day, trying to make him change his mind.
But that guy is like a stubborn donkey and doesn't listen to me at all. He is determined to be a pirate!
I didn't expect you to have something!
Although he didn't completely pull him into the ranks of the navy, he also helped the navy do a lot of things and maintained justice for the navy!
Whether he can be completely recruited into the navy in the future depends on you, Link!"
Garp patted Link's shoulder hard and cast an approving look at him.
In his opinion, he had educated Luffy for such a long time, but it had no effect.
However, Link only had several contacts with Luffy, and he was able to get Luffy to cooperate with the navy!
If we round it off, isn't that equivalent to Luffy being a navy? !
If he let Link have more contact with Luffy, he might really be able to bring Luffy back to be a navy!
That scene is beautiful just to think about!
'… Sorry, I don't have that ability. Your grandson is destined to become the Pirate King. '
Link wanted to reply to Garp like this, but he finally held back this sentence and responded:
"Okay, Vice Admiral Garp! I will definitely ask him to help the navy more and eradicate those pirates who endanger civilians!"
