Pirates: The wages are in place and the Yonko will be kicked out.

Sakaski, who was very surprised, took a serious look at Colonel Malvern who was running in front of him.

——He is more than two meters tall. Although he is shorter than himself and Porusalino, he is definitely tall. He has explosive muscles. The most muscular person Sakaski has ever seen before is him. The blacksmith on the island where he lives, but the blacksmith's muscles are like a younger brother to Colonel Malvern. Moreover, Sakaski had seen the scars on Colonel Malvern's body yesterday. Those scars proved that these muscles of his were real combat power, not just superficial.

And Colonel Malvern's hairstyle has absolutely nothing to do with quartermasters - Sakaski had met the quartermaster of the North Sea branch when he went to pick up his and Porusalino's naval uniforms a few days ago, that one The little brother's good-student hairstyle is completely different from that of Colonel Malvern, the big brother in society.

"...I really didn't expect that Colonel Malvern, you used to be a quartermaster."

Sakaski shook his head honestly.

"Hahaha, you can't judge a book by its appearance, Sakaski. Otherwise, Porusalino, who probably can't even get into the naval base, would be very shocked."

Hearing Colonel Malvern's joke, even the stern Sakaski couldn't help but the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably, "That's right..."

"But having said that, in fact, I was never what I am now,"

Colonel Malvern said with a somewhat reminiscence tone, "At that time, I was the weakest and thinnest person on Mr. Sengoku's ship, so I was assigned to the civilian position of quartermaster."

"The so-called quartermaster sounds nice, but in fact he is the person who manages the warehouse and distributes supplies. When I knew that I was assigned to this kind of civilian logistics staff, I was really disappointed. You know, I was not a civilian at the beginning. Those who want to be gunners and combatants, after all, which naval soldier doesn’t want to fight pirates head-on and seek justice?... Unfortunately, reality is always different from dreams."

After Colonel Malvern finished speaking, he looked sideways at Sakaski. He originally wanted to see the latter pondering or feeling emotional about what he said, but he found that the latter was looking at him with an extremely strange look.

"Hey...Sakaski, what's the look in your kid's eyes..."

"...Colonel Malvern, the reason why you have transformed from a skinny little man to a muscular man now is because, as Porusalino said, you ate Naca when you were a quartermaster. want?"

"..."

Seeing that Colonel Malvern didn't speak, Sakaski nodded even more confidently, "It seems to be right. If you think about it carefully, it's quite logical - Colonel Malvern, you were charged with taking Nakha while serving as quartermaster. Yes, although you have grown from a skinny little man to the muscular man you are now, things have been revealed. Originally, you should have been dealt with by the naval court-martial, but the Warring States General remembered the old relationship and demoted you from the headquarters to the Beihai branch... …I didn’t expect that you would speak out about such a shameful past, Colonel Malvern. Don’t you not only not feel ashamed, but also think it is honorable?”

"…Sakaski."

Colonel Malvern's steps suddenly stopped.

Sakaski also stopped and looked at Malvin with eyes filled with three parts regret, three parts emotion and four parts disdain.

Colonel Malvern forcibly suppressed his desire to hit someone, took a deep breath, and reached out to hold the latter's shoulder:

"Sakaski...I...I thought the only unreliable guy was that wretched guy Porusalino! I didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also be thinking about running a sea ship!!"

"The reason why I am like this is because I use other people's rest time to practice crazily, not because I am a navy worm who wants to eat Nakar, bastard!"

"Also! I'm telling you this story because I want to show my depth as a base leader and veteran, and I want to educate and inspire you, a young man who has suddenly become depressed! It's not because I think eating Naka is necessary. It’s very honorable and I want to show it off!”

"And by the way, I've never done anything like that! Sakaski, what are you thinking!!"

Colonel Malvern finished the above contents like a barrage of words, and then took a few heavy breaths - not out of exhaustion, but out of anger.

Sakaski frowned, and while wiping off Colonel Malvern's excited droplets from his face, he said: "Didn't you, Colonel, tell me to have a sense of humor? Why are you so excited? Is this a joke of mine?" Isn’t it funny?”

"you……"

Colonel Malvern almost didn't come up for a breath and was going to be pissed to death by Sakaski. But it was a blessing that the person in front of him was Sakaski, not Porusalino. If it were Porusalino, he would have been possessed by the Emperor and full of taunts:

——Just say it, why are you shouting so loudly?

However, Colonel Malvern was angry and speechless, but he still did not forget his purpose of telling Sakaski about his past experiences. He calmed down a little and then said: "Anyway, Porusalino..."

"I'm Sakaski."

"Ahem, anyway...Sakaski!"

Colonel Malvern cleared his throat heavily, "I know that the situation on the training ground today is a big blow to a young man like you who is determined to eliminate all pirates and is quite proud. But you must also understand that no matter what Porusalino, or I, are nothing in this sea where strong men are as numerous as the stars in the sky. There are countless strong men who are stronger than me, or who can beat me to death like ants, in this vast sea. "

"The reason why you are shocked and hit is just because of your perspective. Although the North Sea is big, it is also very small when looking at the whole world. You will gradually understand in the future..."

"Of course, I am not saying that you are not good enough, and I want to beat you. On the contrary, you, like Porusalino, are the most outstanding young people I have ever seen. You each have an incomparable heart. You have a powerful natural devil fruit, and you also have a physique far beyond that of ordinary people. What is even more rare is that you have all chosen the most correct path to improve yourself, 'joining the navy'..."

"When I was a skinny young sailor, I suffered many and severe blows. But I did not give up. Instead, I took advantage of the convenience of being a quartermaster and trained myself through various equipment and weapons in the warehouse. Although I am still nothing in this sea, I am already countless times stronger than my original self. I can achieve this through training even though I have average talent and average luck, not to mention that I have great talent and luck. What about you?"

"Although Porusalino doesn't look like a hard-working and serious person, I'm sure that the reason why he has such strength must be inseparable from his hard training. So, Saka Ski, don’t be depressed because of today’s events, this is just a small setback on your road to becoming stronger.”

"Look at the bigger world and work harder! Sakaski!"

Colonel Malvern, who had never been a life mentor, imitated the Warring States general who spoke in his memory. He said so many words in one breath, and he even admired himself.

"...But Colonel Malvern, I came out just to get some fresh air, and then planned to do additional training on my own."

Sakaski gave a rare smile and said this.

"Huh? So you're not depressed at all?!"

Colonel Malvern's eyes widened, "Then what I just said..."

"Thank you, Colonel, for your teaching. I will keep it in mind."

Sakaski returned to his serious expression and nodded towards Colonel Malvern.

Seeing this, Colonel Malvern shrugged and smiled slowly: "It seems that I am worrying too much, very good... So, it is already two fifty, do you want to go for a night run together? In my opinion , although running is an ordinary form of exercise, it is indeed very effective.”

"Not today,"

Sakaski shook his head seriously and said in a serious tone: "I have made an appointment with Porusalino to have supper. Do you want to come with me? Colonel."
