ALL NOVEL Chapter 5: Chapter 5
Early the next morning, the gate of the Marine Headquarters recruit camp welcomed two guests, one big and one small.
Seeing the tall old man in the lead, the marines on duty shuddered and let the two in without stopping them.
Garp didn't waste any time and took Luffy directly to the recruit registration office.
The civilian staff responsible for registering the recruits had just started work and was about to make himself a cup of tea to adjust his state.
But as Garp pushed the door open, his hand trembled and he dropped his teacup directly on the ground.
He didn't dare to be lazy right now.
The man immediately stood up and saluted, and greeted seriously:
"Good morning, Vice Admiral Garp!"
"Yeah, you too, don't be so polite."
After a casual reply, Garp pushed Luffy, who was looking around for the first time in the recruit camp, and said to the man:
"This is my grandson Luffy. I brought him to the recruit camp to register to join the marine."
"Morning, sir!"
After Garp finished introducing, Luffy immediately retracted his gaze and saluted him seriously.
The man looked down at the boy who was barely taller than his waist, and he was dumbfounded.
What did he hear? Such a young child wants to join the marine? Even if he is the grandson of Vice Admiral Garp, it is too early.
Seeing that the other party stared at him blankly without saying anything, Luffy did not get impatient and continued to maintain the proper salute posture.
Garp did not have so much time. After he dealt with Luffy's matter, he had to return to the G3 branch to take charge.
So he simply spoke and brought up Sengoku.
"Don't worry, I will tell Sengoku about this. You just need to write down this guy's information."
"Ah, oh, okay, okay."
After being called back to his senses by Garp, the man instantly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly sat back in his seat to help Luffy fill in his personal information.
From beginning to end, he only asked Luffy a few simple questions, and then asked him to sign it and it was done. After finishing the document, he immediately stood up and said politely to Garp:
"Vice Admiral Garp, I will take you and Master Luffy to see Colonel Prue"
"No, I still have a mission, you don't have to worry about this kid, just let him go to the instructor to report."
Garp waved his hand, and then he bent down and touched Luffy's head with a smile, and turned and left without saying anything.
The two watched him walk away until they could no longer see Garp's figure, and the man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, thank you very much for your help. I will go and report first."
"Ah, go ahead. Just turn left and wait on the training yard."
The man replied subconsciously. Luffy saluted him again and then left the office.
He did not forget to close the door before leaving.
One after the other, the grandfather and grandson left.
The man finally relaxed and sat back in his chair.
"As expected of Vice Admiral Garp, he didn't say much, but his aura alone scared me to death."
With a sigh, the man turned his gaze to the file he had just filled out.
He picked up the file and looked at the dazzling "5 years old" in the age column.
The man couldn't help but smack his lips again, sighing that he was indeed a marine hero.
He was willing to send his 5-year-old grandson to the recruit camp to suffer.
This is the headquarters, and the instructors of the recruit camp will not give you preferential treatment just because you are the family member of a vice admiral.
Not to mention a 5-year-old child, even if a baby of a few months old comes, they have to crawl to complete daily training.
"Alas, there is a reason why he can become a big shot. If I could train like this since I was young, maybe I would be among the officers."
With a wry smile, the man shook his head and subconsciously reached for his teacup.
"Eh? Where's my teacup?"...
Following the man's instructions, Luffy went out and walked to the left.
Soon he saw the training yard the other person mentioned.
However, unlike the training yard in his previous life, the so-called training yard of the marine is just a piece of flat land.
It's just that the runway is planned with lines, and there are areas for practicing shooting, swordsmanship, etc.
Overall, it looks very simple.
At this time, a group of marine recruits have started running circles on the training yard.
there are more than 10 instructors supervising or following, and there are a few shouts and scolds from time to time.
Luffy took a rough look and soon found his target.
It was a middle-aged officer with his hands on his chest, a large burn on his left cheek, and a stern expression.
Luffy didn't say anything and ran over.
After arriving in front of the other party, he stood at attention, saluted, and shouted:
"Hello, sir. I am the new recruit Luffy. I would like to ask for instructions!"
The officer was the chief instructor of the recruit camp, Colonel Prue.
Prue turned his head subconsciously when he heard the voice, but he saw nothing. He didn't see anyone at all.
Looking at the instructor who was at leas 2.5 meter tall, almost the same height as his grandfather Garp, the little Luffy whispered awkwardly:
"Instructor, Down here."
He lowered his head and looked at the little guy who claimed to be a new recruit. His face fell instantly.
"Kid, you said you were a new soldier? How old are you?"
"Report to the Instructor, I am a new recruit who just joined today, I am 5 years old!"
'Only 5 years old?' Prue's frown deepened.
"Get out, this is not a kindergarten."
The cold tone, coupled with Prue's fierce expression and the large burn on his right face, would probably scare the children on the side, and even adults with poor psychological quality.
But Luffy was very calm, unmoved, maintaining the salute posture, and said loudly:
"Report, new recruit Luffy requests instructions!"
'He is not afraid of me. Although he is young, he is very brave.
Prue was a little surprised, but being brave is nothing. Being a soldier is not just about being brave.
If a child this young has an accident during training, he will not be able to explain to the other party's parents.
Is his family willing to do this? He has never heard of sending a 5-year-old child to join the marine.
'Forget it, he's so young that he won't be able to hold on, so let's find a reason to send him away. '
Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Prue thought carefully for a long time, and finally spoke reluctantly:
"You go run with the new recruits, and I'll be watching you.
If you can't keep up with the pace of the main group, then get out of here, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Luffy said.
