For the world, two years is not a long time, but for ordinary people, the great turmoil that has occurred in these two years makes them feel like a lifetime away.

First, countless pirates have captured the territory that once belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates, and they are competing with each other for the position of the Five Emperors, but even the Blackbeard Pirates, the strongest of these pirate forces, are still a little behind.

Moreover, Blackbeard failed to get the approval of the other sea emperors, not to mention, and even the pirate group he re-formed was destroyed again in the war with the "new navy".

Then there was the rapid development of the Admiralty Headquarters, which, after the former admiral defected from the Navy, many were waiting to see Longinus's joke that it might decline at the hands of the new Admiral.

However, facts have proved that the new marshal is not only powerful, but also outstanding in ability and skill, and after his vigorous reforms, the navy, which was originally somewhat twilight and rigid, has regained its vigor and vitality.

In addition, his appeal is incomparably stronger, and with his prestige alone, he has attracted countless people who yearn for justice to join the navy. From the major kingdoms to the major alien races, people who had been favored by Longinus have joined the navy, so that the strength of the navy has returned to its peak.

Then, the emergence of the new navy brought an impact on the sea. Although this is only an emerging force, its strength is undoubtedly strong as a powerful force separated from the navy, and the re-destruction of the Blackbeard Pirates also proves this conclusion.

Thanks to Akainu's tough performance in the Upper War and the aggressive style of his navy, the new navy that attacked in the new world also attracted many haters of pirates, and the nascent organization expanded rapidly in just two years.

Finally, there is the attack of the revolutionary army. After the destruction of the base camp two years ago, the wave of the revolutionary army was not only not contained, but on the contrary, it was intensified by the force that erupted in a desperate situation, and the number of member countries was constantly decreasing, as evidenced by this.

Seeing that the revolutionary army was getting stronger and stronger, the world government finally could not sit still, and no longer only relied on its direct secret spy organs, but ordered the navy to temporarily stop the operation of fighting pirates and devote itself to the war against the revolutionary army.

In such an environment, everyone has a hunch that the change of an era seems to be about to begin!

Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.

The high-rise buildings rebuilt on the ruins stand quietly, and in the central square are stone tablets, densely engraved with the names of the heroes who defended justice in the war on the top.

Every passing navy would stop in silence as a sign of respect.

"I heard that two years ago someone proposed to build a sculpture for Marshal Longinus in the center of the square, but His Excellency the Marshal sternly rejected it, and changed the proposal of this sculpture to build an inscription commemorating the martyrs who died in the war!"

"Ah~ Lord Marshal is so handsome!"

"Sure enough, only such a navy is truly worthy of my aspiration!"

"Giving my heart to Lord Longinus, isn't that what it means for me to join the Navy?"

"Don't say that, Marshal Longinus has emphasized that we should say that we will give our hearts for justice!"

"I'm not wrong, isn't Lord Longinus justice?"

A group of young soldiers were talking excitedly, and their words were full of admiration and admiration for the marshal. Jace, who was standing on the side, also had a faint sense of pride as he listened to their conversation.

He was rescued from pirates thirteen years ago by Longinus, who was still a vice admiral at the time, along with two ships of passengers, and he didn't know what the rest of the ship thought, but for him, who was only 5 years old at the time, becoming a navy like Vice Admiral Longinus was his dream all along.

Childhood fantasy heroes are always impressive, the difference is that most of the "heroes" will no longer make people look forward to it after they come to reality, Jace is undoubtedly lucky, the hero he longed for not only did not fade, but grew up with him, and eventually became the hero of this world.

When he came to the Navy Headquarters, that feeling was infinitely magnified. Because more than half of the people he met had the same idea as him, this feeling of like-mindedness made him feel that his fantasy and persistence in the past thirteen years were valuable.

If Longinus used to save people and gain the most prestige, then, after these twenty years, the people he once saved have gradually grown up and transformed into the greatest force behind him!

Just like the Straw Hat Pirates once experienced, when they wanted to make enemies of Longinus, they were surprised to find that their friends, partners, and even relatives were all standing on the opposite side.

"Go to the front, the marshal's speech is about to begin!"

"Is Longinus going to speak?"

The sudden commotion brought Jace back to his senses, and he followed the crowd forward with excitement.

By the time he got to the front, the crowd had blocked the square, but Jace didn't care about it, and looked excitedly at the wistful face above.

"Lord Longinus is still as handsome as ever!"

"Finally meet Lord Longinus again!"

"Don't make any noise, listen carefully to His Excellency the Marshal!"

When Longinus stood on the stage and spoke, the originally lively and noisy square instantly fell silent.

"I'm so happy to see so many new faces today. We come from different places and races, with different names and bloodlines, and we should not have any intersections, but we have gathered here because of the same yearning for justice! ”

Jace moved his gaze to look around, and he did see a lot of amazing body shapes.

He had never seen so many races, from a man with a slender neck like a snake, from a man with fur like a rabbit, with fangs and claws like a sea beast, and as tall as a mountain.

“…… From the moment you devote yourself to the Navy, it means that leisure and pleasure have nothing to do with you, and you will be accompanied by sweat, blood and even ...... Death! ”

Hearing this, Jace felt as if his heart was clenched, and he was mentally prepared, but when he faced this most serious topic again, he was still overwhelmed.

"This is not fair to you, maybe you have given your life to protect this world, but in the end you only get a small word of thanks, and even your name has been forgotten, the noble word soldier, another meaning is actually sad!"

The cheerful atmosphere fell silent, and the recruits seemed to be struck by the cruel future described by Longinus.

"This world is not safe, beasts, pirates, or an earthquake and tsunami may make fragile lives disappear, but ......" Longinus's voice suddenly increased, and he said in a low voice, "This world needs someone to stand up, this world, needs a hero to guard, and this hero is you, you naval soldiers who are fearless in life and death!" ”

Pierced by the powerful voice, Jace felt that his soul had been washed, he was driven by his dream to become a navy, and now, he seemed to understand the responsibility and meaning of the word "navy".

"So, I am very grateful to all of you who have been able to join the Navy, it is you who have given hope to this world. And as a marshal, the only thing I can do is to be your most solid backing, no matter what difficulties you will encounter in the future, do not be afraid, I am behind you, and the Navy Headquarters is also behind you! ”

There was a moment of silence, and then the cheers in the square burst into flames.

"Give your heart for justice!"

"Give your heart to Lord Longinus!"
