"My name is Canos Atlas, Captain of Naval Headquarters!" Atlas didn't mind, and went straight up to shake Iceberg's hand, then looked at the man with some confusion, quietly waiting for his words. .
"Hmm~" Flam snorted with disdain, obviously looking down on Atlas's position.
Atlas doesn't care. As for his position, he estimates that he will be officially appointed to a new military rank after he returns to his headquarters to report on his duties.
"Sir Atlas, I can help you modify the ship for free, but I hope you agree to a condition." Iceberg explained, ignoring the unhappy Flam.
"Oh? Tell me about it?" Atlas was a little curious. Logically speaking, what kind of help could he, a small captain, do to them? Tom was mostly exposed to high-level things, such as World Government, Roger and the like.
"I hope that if we are no longer here one day, Mr. Atlas can help take care of Flam."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Iceberg, what nonsense are you talking about on your own?" At this time, Flme didn't buy it when he heard this, and said a little speechlessly.
"Then why did Mr. Iceberg choose to entrust me with a little captain?" Atlas had to admire Iceberg's vision and foresight. Although World Government granted Tom amnesty, he was still not convinced of World Government's credibility.
"Strong man, I feel the power of a strong man in you."
"Oh? Really? Then I will leave my ship to you. I will pick it up in three days. But let me make it clear first, I am a Marine!"
After saying that, he didn't care whether Iceberg understood it or not. He turned around and left. He still had to find a place to stay and wait for his ship to be renovated.
"Who would need to be taken care of by a stinky guy like you!!"
Frame's somewhat angry voice came from behind Atlas.
Three days later.
They met again at Scrap Island. Atlas and Iceberg had agreed to meet there, but Flam didn't come with him. They didn't talk about the deal they made that day. It was a promise between men, and Iceberg trusted that Atlas would keep it.
"Let's go, your speedboat is still in the same place."
The two of them didn't exchange greetings when they met, and went straight to the place where Atlas' speedboat was parked.
Atlas finally saw the speedboat he wanted. It looked very different from the one he had before. It was white and looked like a small yacht. The boat had the same rooms as before, a bedroom and a storage room.
It can only be said that the appearance is very different from the previous one, but Atlas did not observe the power system he wanted, so he turned his head slightly and looked at the iceberg with confusion.
"Your hull is too small to add a new power system, so I used some impact shells to install on the stern, but the material of the hull is a little weak, so it may not be able to withstand the impact of the impact shells for too long."
Iceberg glanced at Atlas, fearing that Atlas didn't know what an impact shell was, and continued to explain: "This impact dial is produced in the White Sea of Skypiea. It is rarely circulated in Blue sea, so the number is somewhat scarce. The price is also relatively expensive."
"It's okay. I don't need to drive for a long time anyway." Atlas waved his hand nonchalantly. Anyway, he only needed it for the journey to the G-8 branch. It didn't matter if it was scrapped after arriving.
"Oh, by the way, what's its speed?"
"The speed can reach seventy knots per hour."
"So fast!?" Atlas was a little surprised. You must know that seventy nautical miles is equivalent to about 129 kilometers, which means that this small speedboat can reach a speed of 129 kilometers per hour, which can be said to be very fast. With the help of this ship, it won't be long before we can reach the G-8 branch.
"Hey, hey, hey...Iron Wall Fortress G8."
"Pirates, don't even try to get close to it!"
"108 cannons pointed at you!"
"The peace-keeping hedgehog!"
"G8 we are proud of!"
After several days of running around, Atlas finally reached the G-8 branch. I have to say that the transformation of this speedboat was really good, and it took much less time than Atlas expected.
But before entering G-8 Fortress, I heard bursts of singing. What a branch with different styles, Atlas said with emotion.
G-8 Fortress is a very strong and secure place. It is built on an island that is shaped like a ring. The island has many metal towers and weapons on it. The ring is closed and only has one gap. The gap is where ships can go in and out of the fortress, but there is a big metal gate that can block it. This means that if you go inside, you will not be able to get out. Luffy, the main character of the story, was able to escape from the fortress, but that was only because of protagonist's halo.
In addition to the terrain, basically every corner is tightly fortified, and there are more than a hundred cannons mounted on the iron walls of the fortress, exuding a deep chill, but I don't know if it is like what the song says. 108 cannons, it can be said that it is worthy of being the branch starting with Marine G!
"Hello! I am recruit Atlas from the headquarters. Admiral Sengoku asked me to come here for the recruitment camp graduation trial!"
Atlas stood on the speedboat and shouted to Marine patrolling above.
"Ah? I'm going to ask for permission right now!"
The Marine patrolling the fortress heard the order from Admiral Sengoku, and immediately did not dare to neglect it. He quickly went to ask his superiors for instructions, but did not directly open the door to Atlas.
Just kidding, this is a military base directly controlled by Naval Headquarters. How could someone just open the door with just a few words?
Soon, a big man with a "hairy face" wearing a Marine hat and a Marine justice coat appeared above the fortress. He looked a little anxious. After arriving, he rushed forward with half of his body almost leaning out of the fortress. Atlas was really afraid that he would suddenly fall.
"Hey! Is this Captain Canos Atlas?"
"That's right. Please open the door and let me in." Atlas replied calmly.
Boom! squeak~
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge steel gate slowly rose from the sea, leaving just an entrance for Atlas's speedboat to enter...
"Hello! Captain Atlas, I am Drake. I hold the position of major in this fortress. If you have any questions, you can tell me. Teacher Zephyr has personally told me."
Drake looked at the young man in front of him with some emotion. He really couldn't believe that this was the monster that Zephyr said could rival Vice Admiral. When he thought about himself again, he suddenly felt that he had lived as long as a dog.(T/N: He is feeling very old and tired, and thinks that his life span is similar to that of a dog)
