Time is in a hurry.

The years are like a shuttle.

In a blink of an eye, one year has passed.

A medium-sized naval battleship.

Li Yaoxiang was wearing a cape with the word "justice" engraved on it, standing on the deck, looking at a pirate ship in the distance, feeling the sea breeze and listening to the waves.

At this moment, Dory, who was very clever at the time, was the first to think of cleaning the room for him, Dory's voice: "Rear Admiral, congratulations Rear Admiral, you have been promoted from Captain to Rear Admiral in just one year. In my opinion, this Rear Admiral cloak is tailor-made for you. Only if you put on this cloak, can you truly display its imposing manner. Exert the majesty that the Navy should have. The word justice on cloak is more appropriate for you. It just made me ashamed of being inferior. Rear Admiral, my respect for you is like a torrent of water … "

"Red Flag" X Drake (read as "Diez Drake") is the captain of the Marine Secret Special Unit SWORD. In order to go undercover as a pirate, he publicly defected from his position as rear admiral. Drake is the son of the Marine-turned-pirate Diez Barrels, and was affiliated with the Barrels pirates until he defected to the Marines. As a young adult, he was called Dory.

Li Yaoxiang glanced at the side of his body for more blessings: "Enough, you've been following me for several years, still can't get rid of the habit of flattering?"

Dory smiled, bent over, and respectfully said: "The Rear Admiral is joking, I'm only telling the truth, why would I be flattering?"

During the conversation between the two, the battleship and the pirate ship had less than 50 meters away.

Li Yaoxiang didn't intend to talk about the topic of 'flattering' and continued to argue with Dory. He looked back at the pirate ship again and said, "These pirates, I'll leave them to you to deal with them, is there any problem?"

When it comes to business.

Dory suddenly respected, no more frivolous.

Instinctively said: "No problem, Rear Admiral! Leave it to us!"

tone barely fell.

Behind the two stood the neat line of troops and responded in unison: "Leave it to us, Rear Admiral!"

Li Yaoxiang's eyes are still on the pirate ship, which was twice as large as its own battleship, listened to the pirates on the pirate ship, and all kinds of vicious words of screaming, provocation, and sarcasm, holding his hands on his chest, calmly said: "What are you waiting for? Haven't started yet?"

"Yes!"

All the marines, including Dory, answered in unison 'Yes!'.

In an instant, they 'stepped on the air', one after another, they crossed Li Yaoxiang and leaped towards the pirate ship opposite.

Yes.

It's just stepping on the air.

The marines uses the "Moonwalk" in the Rokushiki.

This is also one of the achievements that Li Yaoxiang has worked hard for this year. To implement his darkening plan, strength, prestige, identity, and status are indispensable. So as early as a year ago, he began to cultivate his own team.

It cost 600,000 darkening points, exchanged for 'Rokushiki', and then taught every member of the ship.

The original group of henchmen, under the influence of Li Yaoxiang, have all been reformed to become a navy that truly maintains 'justice'.

This process of change is not too difficult.

After all, like them, they have no backers and have been in the navy for many years.

Who didn't hold a sense of mission when they first joined the Navy?

Only when they came into contact with the cruel reality and the boss like the 'Captain Nezumi' did they have to bow their heads to life. Eventually it evolved into the look of the henchmen in the beginning.

How about a year ago?

A year ago, Li Yaoxiang not only did not pursue their past mistakes.

He was more willing to teach them set of housekeeping skills than the 'Rokushiki'

How could they, the surviving clever ghosts, not know what to choose?

So during this year, Li Yaoxiang did not have to urge him.

This group of henchmen who gave up their dreams for life in the past, each and everyone seized the opportunity and worked hard to death. Today, a year later, there have been such achievements.

But …

This is not enough for Li Yaoxiang.

In the first three years of his journey, because he was obsessed with sightseeing and traveling, and in order not to let others disturb his stable life, every captain sent by the headquarters would be killed by 'pirates'.

Then he claimed to have solved the pirates.

Finally, it was rational and clearly structured, from recruits to majors.

Changed from Captain to Commodore to Rear Admiral.

Until he became the ruler of this battleship, no need to be controlled by others. He no longer cares.

That's a waste of three years.

Because of this, in the fourth year when he decided to start layout and action, he would catch up. Continuously killing many pirates. It was only a year later that he was promoted to a Rear Admiral.

And the team that followed him at the beginning has also risen one by one.

The promotion and the salary increase.

But Li Yaoxiang is very clear, this is just the beginning. What he wants to achieve is far from satisfying him by the rank of Rear Admiral. After that, there was the voice of Vice Admiral, Admiral, and even finally a place in the Navy!

Only in this way can he achieve the effect he wants.

It's just that the process is not in a hurry.

The navy of this period did not lack powerful men.

If you want to get promoted, it is not just strength. In the case of unwillingness to cause turmoil in One Piece world, he can only accomplish his goal by continuously accumulating military exploits and experience.

This process may take 3 or 4 years.

It may take 7 or 8 years.

In short, it can't be completed in a short time.

However, Li Yaoxiang is not in a hurry, because Luffy is only 4 years old now.

He has time.

Moreover, who said that in the process of his promotion, he could not darken Luffy at the same time?

If it is said that he worked hard to be promoted to the Navy Admiral, which was laid out for the darkening of the late stage, then the day he had been waiting for a year ago was the 'seed' he had prepared for the early blackening.

A year has passed now.

The time is ripe.

Looking that the situation has been controlled by a group of subordinates, Li Yaoxiang glanced at the last glance, and he no longer took care of it. While turning around and returning to the cabin to rest, he secretly muttered in his heart, "It's also time to start acting..."

...

At the same time.

A country, a certain island.

The warship of Garp is now anchored on the shore of the island.

Garp personally led the way and walked somewhere on the island.

They are moving towards the jungle at the center of the island.

Luffy complained and muttered along the way.

"Grandpa, I said it, can you go next time?! Today Big Brother promised me to take me to another place!"

Garp stopped, turned, and walked angrily toward Luffy, giving him a 'Iron Fist of Love'.

'Boom' a light sound.

Luffy top of the head has a 'tall building'.

The pain caused him to shed tears.

But he didn't act coquettishly or cry, just touched the pain on the top of the rubbed his head, clenched his teeth, and stared at Garp with annoyance …
