One Piece: Shadow of the Navy

When Zhu Yuan returned home, he saw such a scene.

In the courtyard, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was practicing her sword. In the pavilion next to her, Cohen was sitting cross-legged at a low table, drinking tea, and completely ignored the girl practicing her sword in the courtyard.

Zhu Yuan looked at the girl practicing swordsmanship and found that she was practicing very basic swordsmanship.

Then, she ignored the girl and walked to the pavilion, sitting opposite Cohen.

Cohen pushed the freshly brewed tea from the middle of the low table to Qu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then gestured to Latifah in the courtyard, "Who is that?"

"The subordinates I recruited this time." Cohen replied as he drank tea with his head lowered without even raising his head.

"Is it the one you mentioned who is relatively weak but has good basic skills and is very suitable for practicing Swift Sword Technique?"

"Ah."

"Oh." Zhu Yuan said no more, holding the tea cup, turning to watch Latifah practicing her swordsmanship, and taking a sip of the tea in the tea cup from time to time.

After watching for a while, Zhu Yuan asked again, "I think the swordsmanship she practices is the basic swordsmanship within our navy. Is it what you gave her before? Or does she have a background in the navy?"

"Oh, she has a naval background, and her father is a vice admiral." Cohen replied lightly.

"Oh..." Zhu Yuan nodded, lowered his head and was about to drink the tea in the cup.

"Wait a minute, you said her father is a lieutenant general?" Zhu Yuan suddenly realized and asked in surprise. Before, she thought that Cohen was talking about a lieutenant colonel and a lieutenant, so she didn't realize it all at once.

"Yeah." Cohen continued to nod.

"No, her father is a lieutenant general. Why did you let her come with you? Can't he take her with you?" Cohen's confirmed answer made Zhu Yuan even more confused.

"That's because his father is gone now."

"No more? You mean the navy orphan?"

"Well," Cohen nodded, "Have you heard of Wu Zhi Lieutenant General Heywood Freeman?"

"Wuzhi Lieutenant General Heywood Freeman? Never heard of it." Zhu Yuan thought for a while and shook his head.

She had indeed never heard of this name. After all, such a weird title would definitely make an impression on her if she had heard of it, but she had no impression at all now.

"Then maybe you were still in the G-6 branch when he had the accident and were not in Marineland, so you didn't hear about it." Cohen didn't care much about Qu Yuan's answer.

"Something happened? Oh, yes, you just said she was an orphan and her father is no longer around."

"Well, 11 years ago, Heywood Freeman, who had just been promoted to Lieutenant General, led a team to perform a mission at sea. As a result, he was ambushed by pirates when he was about to reach the destination. Due to lack of preparation, the warship was forced to stop by the pirates. , everyone on the entire warship was massacred by pirates,"

"Later, news came out. When passing that location, some people said that it was a narrow passage with poor terrain and that someone might be ambushed. However, Heywood Freeman, who was leading the team, did not listen and insisted on continuing to pass. He was ambushed.”

"This... someone reminded him, but he didn't listen and insisted on passing there. There is indeed a problem... Huh, that's not right." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuan discovered the flaw in Cohen's previous words.

"The person who persuaded him was definitely not just a soldier, but didn't you just say that the entire warship was massacred? Why did it still spread? Is it possible that some of the senior officials on his warship escaped?"

"No, at least there is no record in the document that any of his senior officials survived. Not even a single soldier survived. They were blocked by the pirates and killed to establish their authority." Cohen denied.

"Then what?" Zhu Yuan was confused.

"That's because they were not the only ones at the time. Their warship was just the leader, and there was a fleet of ships following behind. The navy on the warship was all killed, but not all the people on the ship behind were killed."

"That's not right. As I said just now, as he has the highest military rank on the warship, the person who advised him must also be a senior officer on the warship. How could the people on the ship behind get such information?" Zhu Yuanyao He shook his head, still not understanding.

"Ha," Cohen sneered, "I told you, the people on the boat behind are not dead."

"The things on the ship have been robbed by pirates, and the owner must give an explanation."

"A dead person is the best person to take the blame. After all, there is no evidence for the dead. Whatever the living people say is what it is, and these things cannot be just thrown away. It is definitely best to get compensation from other places, so throw the blame away. It’s natural to give it to the Navy.”

"Isn't that right? Aren't these people tired of leaving the responsibility to the navy and escaping?"

"The identity of the owners of the lost items is a bit troublesome, so the Navy had no choice but to hold their noses and identify them."

Zhu Yuan was silent for a moment. She did not doubt Cohen's answer. She knew that what Cohen said was true. Sometimes, the navy is not so easy to deal with.

"Then will the families of those marines who died agree? Such words are obviously an insult to their entire fleet."

"So she is like this now, otherwise how do you think a descendant of a lieutenant general would be like this? Obviously, the highest officer on the warship has become the culprit, and the relatives of the navy on the warship will be dissatisfied They are all targeting their father and daughter."

"Isn't this kind of thing too much?" Zhu Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at Latifah with a change of eyes, "If you don't know whether it is true or not, I won't say it. Even if it is true, it shouldn't be counted. On her, and hasn’t his father already died in the line of duty?”

"As the son or daughter of a lieutenant general, you can't even guarantee your future. How to deal with such a matter..." Zhu Yuan gritted her teeth and did not say the next words, but her face was very dissatisfied.

"The guy who was responsible for handling this matter was probably also very dissatisfied with Freeman. After all, the Navy inexplicably took on the responsibility."

"But this way of handling it is too careless, and his father's relatives and friends didn't express any opinions on this matter? Didn't anyone take care of her?"

"How can a lieutenant general who has just been promoted to military service have any relatives? As for friends, there may be too many people dissatisfied with her father, so no one dares to speak out."

"This... well, that's not right. Since someone is dissatisfied with her father and it affects her, how can she still enter the training camp?" Zhu Yuan suddenly thought of something wrong and said doubtfully.

"I don't know. She doesn't know why she was able to enter the training camp. She suddenly received a notice from the training camp and joined the training camp, but there is no need to worry about this kind of thing,"

"Perhaps one of her father's friends saw that it had been so many years and didn't want to see her waste away like this, so he thought of a way to send her to the training camp."

"What a pitiful person." Zhu Yuan said with emotion as he looked at Latifah who was seriously practicing swordsmanship.
