Fortunately, I was not late.

Tina took off her sunglasses and put it in her pocket. In fact, being late was in the past, which was the daily life of the base. She was also late several times, but this time she was the first to be a new official in office. She had to give some face and abide by her duties.

At this time, many naval forces had arrived in the training ground, and some soldiers were coming in a sparse manner. Tina stood in a relatively back position and looked around. It was estimated that only about 80% of them had arrived.

This is the most complete collection in the past two years, except for emergencies.

"I don't know what the new colonel is. I heard that he was transferred from Marinfando."

Tina looked at the empty platform in front of her and murmured in her heart, "This won't happen to our headquarters. I guess she'll be very angry when she sees the soldiers' appearance..."

In her mind, Marinfando is a true holy land of justice. From the first moment she chose to devote herself to becoming the navy, she longed to be able to enter the headquarters one day and become the absolute elite in the navy.

"Hey, you all heard about the new Colonel Mr. who arrived last night."

"Ah, I know, Colonel Heck, not only heard that I saw it outside the restaurant this morning."

"Really, what does that new principal look like? Isn't he very fierce and harsh and difficult to deal with?"

The navy around were whispering, and Tina suddenly heard what she was interested in from the conversation between several young female naval soldiers, and immediately pricked up her ears and focused her attention.

"Not at all."

The woman replied with a smug voice, "On the contrary, she is a good uncle. When I saluted and greeted me, he also gave me a gentle gift, and asked me if I had eaten it, so I asked me to take the rest of the breakfast back and share it with my brothers in the dormitory."

"Hey? It sounds good."

"Yes, I'm just a little too fat. I guess I have to be three or four hundred kilograms. I'm breathing when I walk. Not to mention fighting, I don't know how I got to the position of the colonel."

"You can't say that. What if you are a very capable commander-type talent, or a devil fruit capable person, you don't seem to be awesome, but you can easily win tens of millions of reward prisoners..."

Tina's breathing suddenly stopped. She held the corner of her clothes with some guilt and lowered her head slightly.

It was not because of anything else, but suddenly I remembered the strangely shaped oval fruit I found in a fruit tree in the slum last night after escorting the black-haired girl named Dasqi home.

After all, she was born on a great route. Unlike some civilians with shallow knowledge in the world, she recognized it at a glance as a rare and precious devil fruit that can bring strange power to people.

So while the night was heavy and no one around me noticed, I took it off without hesitation and took it home.

But...what should be done next?

Tina, who joined the Navy in pursuit of justice in her heart, didn't sleep well all night last night.

She had thought about handing over this fruit, but considering that she was not in the headquarters and the superiors of the branch were all a group of crooked melons and jujubes that she didn't like, handing over the fruit was likely to be embezzled, so she could only extinguish this idea.

As for eating it yourself...

Tina was also a little hesitant about this. She was very good at water and didn't really want to become a land duck. Besides, she didn't have a picture of the devil fruit around her. What kind of messy abilities this fruit can bring to her...

"But!"

Just when she was in a daze, the voice of the young female navy came from beside her, and the tone was much higher than before, and she seemed a little excited:

"Although Colonel Heck doesn't look special, among the subordinates he brought this time, there is such a handsome man who is extremely beautiful!"

"Hey, is that true?"

"How handsome, is it more handsome than Captain Ibuprofen?"

"It's not on the same level at all!" The young voice said with confidence, "Just wait for you to see it with your own eyes later! I have never seen such a handsome man in the whole city of Earl, and I smiled and was very warm and sunny. I was fascinated by it at that time and almost hit the street light when I walked!"

As soon as these words were said, they immediately screamed with excitement.

A group of idiots... Tina curled her lips disdainfully. Although she is only nineteen years old this year and is considered to be a peer of these young naval female soldiers, she never looks superficially at the appearance of one person.

In contrast, she was more concerned about whether the newly appointed Colonel Heck could have the courage to make some changes, so that this lifeless broken branch base would bring new vitality.

"Hey, here we come!"

"That's right, it should be Colonel Heck and the others. Let's stand up quickly!"

"Cross, queue!"

A commotion suddenly came from the front of the team. The navy, who were originally standing at random, began to stand in a queue. Through the gaps in the crowd, Tina saw a group of people walking towards the training ground under the leadership of Captain Ibuprofen.

Finally here...

Tina's face turned solemn, and she also stood in a military posture, her eyes were on the pedestrian. As the distance narrowed, she suddenly frowned and found that something was wrong.

The figures of those people seemed not as unfamiliar as expected, and they even looked a little familiar...

…………

On the other side.

Heck, who led Vito and others to the high platform of the training ground, was observing the naval soldiers in the training ground while listening to Captain Ibuprofen in front of him introducing the relevant specific situation.

"At present, there are 404 soldiers under the lieutenant at our 78 branch base. Except for those who are not in the base for sick leave, the number of people who should gather today is 380. Colonel later, you can count the number of people attending according to the list I prepared."

Very few...

Heck was a little disappointed. He knew that the 78 branch was incomplete, but he did not expect the scale to shrink to this extent.

There were only more than 400 people, and even a standard warship in the headquarters could not be filled. After all, it was on the great route. In his impression, even some branches in the four seas had more than a thousand people.

Vito, who was listening silently behind, raised his eyebrows, and his attention was a little off-the-scenes. He just felt that the number of people sounded a bit unlucky...

"In addition to me, there are two captains, six lieutenants and ten lieutenants, all of whom have been there, and the two majors who were originally going out have also arrived because of your call."

Captain Ibuprofen said this and secretly glanced at Colonel Heck's face, as if he was hesitating. Heck had already noticed this, and immediately snorted, saying unhappily:
Chapter completed!
