"Bang bang!"
Enraged, the class monitor of Class Two began punching and kicking. He landed dozens of punches in one go, until he was panting heavily and even lost consciousness in his fists.
The panting class monitor of Class Two took a step back, but he didn't know if he had achieved his goal.
"Kind of."
Suddenly, applause rang out. Hearing the applause, the class monitor of Class Two looked up in surprise. At that moment, Baili Xiao was looking at him happily.
"Let's applaud the brave squad leader of the second squad. Although he failed, his spirit of striving is still worthy of our praise and emulation. This is a quality that all outstanding Marines should possess!"
Bai Lixiao loudly praised the class monitor of Class Two. His voice was angry; you couldn't tell he was the same person who had just been beaten dozens of times. The class monitor, receiving his praise, blushed, held his breath, and his hands trembled uncontrollably, looking as if he had just fought a grueling battle...
"stop!"
The class monitor of Class Two blushed crimson. He shouted once, then turned and ran away. The naive one was defeated.
I felt very awkward at the scene.
Baili Xiao also stopped clapping. Because no one was clapping with him.
Even Belmir was being foolish at this moment.
"I was wrong, Baili Xiao. You haven't changed. You have. You're more afraid than before."
Bellemere's eyes were blurry as she whispered. She suddenly realized that as her strength increased, the violin's character would only become more and more terrifying.
Because when Baili Xiao was a child, after being beaten, he would quietly lick his wounds to recover, and he was not beaten to death by the high intensity of the 24-hour beating.
However, seeing Baili Xiao already riddled with dozens of shots by the two squad leaders, Belmir's eyelids twitched.
My heart was at peace. My friends and I were reunited with our hometown. The joy quickly vanished, replaced by worry.
Unbeknownst to them, Belmir's heart had quietly changed. At this moment, Baili Xiao began to provoke the next target, and the squad leader became the next victim.
In the afternoon, there were 52 people in the platoon, currently at 4.9. Except for the platoon leader, Lieutenant Belmir, and Baili Xiao himself, everyone else was being led by the nose by Baili Xiao.
A group of naval soldiers suffered a tremendous blow, both mentally and physically.
They were hitting others, yet they were more exhausted than if they'd been hit all afternoon. They had been completely convinced by Baili Xiao and were starting to feel afraid.
Standing there motionless, unscathed after being beaten all afternoon, his image as a eloquent and charismatic demon king was unforgettable for these Marines, even as they slept that night. It's said that the entire platoon of Marines suffered from insomnia that night.
"Wow, two thousand push-ups, so clean!"
Chapter 0353 The Protagonist of the World
The next morning at six o'clock, just as dawn broke, Violin finished her morning exercises. At this time, the Marines began preparing for the exercise, and Baili Xiao went directly to the rows of assembly points.
The moment he appeared, a group of naval soldiers fell silent, as if they had seen something terrifying. Clearly, Baili Xiao wore a friendly smile.
"Don't worry, I won't eat you."
Bai Lixiao smiled and saluted the naval soldiers, but no one dared to answer him. All the naval soldiers had stern faces; they looked very tense.
"Report, Sergeant Baili Xiao, what is today's training?"
Finally, Baili Xiao's roommate, Sergeant Clay, the "deputy squad leader," stood up and broke the awkward silence. He offered to guide Baili Xiao in fulfilling his duties as squad leader.
"Can you ask me? How do you know?"
Bai Lixiao looked confused; no one had told him about this. He was just there to observe. Wasn't he supposed to start working only after returning from this battle?
Sergeant Clay fell silent. He remembered. He had gone to bed early last night because he was tired. He hadn't had any nightmares, but he felt embarrassed for forgetting what he wanted to tell Baili Xiao.
"Sergeant Clay, just continue with your daily training. I don't care. Don't let my presence disrupt your training. Just pretend I'm not here."
But before Sergeant Clay could apologize, Baili Xiao spoke again.
Bai Lixiao didn't think he was cut out to train soldiers. He hadn't learned much theoretical knowledge during his time at the "Naval Academy."
For Baili Xiao, the world of One Piece is a world of "personal power".
Faced with the "individual power" capable of altering the natural environment, even the most scientific and systematic training is futile for ordinary people. Personal talent and luck play a significant role.
Some people are incredibly talented, while others rely solely on luck. For example, if they happen to eat a Devil Fruit, they can change everything.
If Vivian herself lacks ability and talent, she will be referred to as "personal strength" when she grows up.
But now that there are systematic methods available, Baili Xiao will definitely focus on enhancing his personal strength rather than learning other "mess".
After all, human energy is limited, so we must choose our goals and prioritize them.
"But that's the class monitor's responsibility. I just need to assist you."
Sergeant Clay paused for a moment, then murmured. He hadn't expected Baili Xiao to choose to "shake his head."
"dad"
Baili Xiaoan patted Sergeant Clay on the shoulder and looked intently at his foolish face.
“Sergeant Clay, Captain? Unlike Belmir. I believe in your abilities. You are fully capable of being a squad leader! Once promoted, the squad leader position is yours. No one can take it from you. Even if Kyle comes, it doesn't matter. I told you!”
Bai Lixiao's expression was serious, and his words were forceful. But Sergeant Clay said, "Ten moves and I'm not convinced."
“I admire your abilities, but this is just a transition for you. I believe you will be promoted soon, but you cannot help appoint the first platoon leader. That is Captain Belmir’s authority.”
Sergeant Clay remained calm at this moment. He knew all too well the meaning of "the local official is more powerful than the county magistrate." Even if Sergeant Baili Xiao were to be promoted and transferred immediately.
If the Navy Headquarters were to manage the promotion and demotion of officers and commanders, the officers' ranks would be almost entirely left to the individual branches of the Navy to handle.
The position of "squad leader" (excluding officers) is directly determined by all second lieutenant captains.
"Are you an idiot? If I get promoted, I'll definitely be a higher-ranking official than Bellemere. Didn't she listen when I told her? Besides, we grew up together. So, recommending me is no problem regarding our relationship!"
Baili Xiao blinked as she drew a cake for Sergeant Clay.
He didn't intend to take care of a whole group of people, so it was natural for him to find an honest worker to help him.
Sergeant Clay would have to do whatever he ordered, even if he didn't want to, but he wasn't there to hurt anyone.
There's absolutely no need to strain the relationship like this and disrupt people's training. Everyone wants to go to the battlefield.
If he caused significant losses to a private, Baili Xiao's conscience would be troubled. After all, he wasn't a "cold-blooded animal."
"Yes, I understand."
Sergeant Clay's eyes lit up after hearing Baili Xiao's "analysis".
He himself was not a particularly old-fashioned or stubborn person.
If he could go further with Baili Xiao's help, he would naturally be happy. It's only human nature, so there's nothing to criticize. How many "saints" are there?
After calming Sergeant Clay, the prop master, Baili Xiao began to quietly observe him. He not only watched his own lesson but also the entire team.
As the "knife platoon" of the "16th Naval Division," the sailors in Bemel underwent rigorous training.
However, it must be said that the abilities of these Marines are indeed limited to what is visible to the naked eye.
They are the "majority" in the world of One Piece, the "background" of the story, and the companions and aura standing behind various dazzling characters.
The world's dramatic changes seem irrelevant to them. They are too far removed from the center of power and conflict.
However, Baili Xiao didn't intend to look down on them. They might not be able to beat "the king below the seven or five seas," and what about the quality of insurance products from the eight provinces?
But so what? They were the protagonists of a world that sailed out to sea with warships to fight against pirates who were killing, burning, plundering, and committing murder in the nearby waters.
Chapter 0354 Caught Off Guard
However, while Baili Xiao respected them, he had no intention of becoming like them. How could he stand idly by while others changed the world?
Morning exercises are almost over. After all, it's only an hour of warm-up. At seven o'clock, housekeeping and lunch will begin. At eight o'clock, they will gather again on the training field.
"Did you hear? There are college student soldiers on the other side of the camp, especially those who are capable of fighting. All the teams understood on the first day!"
Walking through the branch base, Baili Xiao had begun to listen to himself. News of this "argument" always spread quickly. After all, they were in a public place, and many crew members had witnessed it.
Then, the news spread, and soon everyone in the base knew about it. A line of ruthless people arrived.
"Can this Baili Xiao crow really fight like that?"
In the office of the 16th Naval Division Captain, Colonel Carey called Belmir to inquire about Baili Xiao's situation.
"Bai Lixiao, I have good news."
Baili Xiao, who was "torturing" the Marines in front of the blacksmith, was addressed with a strange expression by Belmir.
"Huh? What's the good news?"
Seeing Belmir's expression, Baili Xiao asked curiously, though he already had a rough guess.
"Colonel Kyle just called me."
Belmir tidied her words. Colonel Kyle had suddenly summoned her, only to ask her many questions about Baili Xiao.
"so what?"
On the surface, Baili Xiao appeared patient and calm, but in reality, he thought to himself, "A well-thought-out plan!" Things seemed to be going as he had anticipated.
This time, he participated steadily in "But, Action." His plan succeeded.
Colonel Kyle said he could come with us tomorrow.
Belmir looked at Baili Xiao and told him about Colonel Kyle's decision.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Belmir."
Baili Xiao nodded, not too surprised.
"Why thank me? Why aren't you surprised at all?"
Belmir was a frank person. She asked the question directly, saying it was a good habit to have questions.
Baili Xiao smiled, a sly smile. It was the expression of a successful conspiracy, the exposure of the truth.
"Now, guess what. Kyle must be asking you. Can Baili Xiao really fight so many wars?"
Baili Xiao smiled and, with a look of surprise on his face, said that he had proven his speculation to be correct.
"So what I told you, about my experiences in the East China Sea, about my personality, did you tell yourself? Are you going to tell Colonel Keller about his behavior?"
"Startled," Bella asked, then Wilrin asked, her mouth agape in astonishment.
It looked like a cigarette stuck to his lips, which fell uncontrollably to the ground.
How did you know?! Were you there at the time?!
Belle stubbed out her cigarette first, then lit it again. After taking a deep drag, a strange question popped into her mind.
