Chapter 228 The Current Situation of the Canglan Squad!
A year and a half passed quickly, and the timeline reached the year 1519 of the Haiyuan Calendar.
After a year and a half, Bonnie's Jadescale Disease was finally fully cured, and she officially joined the Azure Fleet.
Her separation from Da Xiong was inevitable. The process was not simple, but in the end, she succeeded.
A lot happened on the high seas in the year and a half that followed.
For example, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates took a short break during this period and recovered some of their strength.
Other pirate crews also took the opportunity to seize some of the territories that were originally owned by the Four Emperors. Several of these pirate crews rose to fame and gained considerable renown on the seas.
However, none of the pirate crews were qualified to be ranked alongside the other three Emperors, so there were not four Emperors of the Sea as before, but only three.
Because they all lack top-tier combat power, even if their mid-to-high-level combat power can compete with other Emperor-level pirate crews, it's useless. The lack of top-tier combat power is their biggest weakness.
However, the most rapid development in the past year and a half was not among these pirates.
It's the navy!!
Over the course of a year and a half, the size of the navy did not change significantly.
After all, too many people would be a significant burden on the navy, and there's no need to recruit so many.
With the number of personnel remaining largely unchanged, the only thing that can change is the individual strength of the navy personnel.
With the Canglan Fleet, the strongest fleet in the navy, at its core, a standardized and rigorous training system has been established in the navy, cultivating every naval officer towards becoming an elite force.
If quantity is limited, then improve quality!
The results were excellent; after this system was established, the strength of almost every naval soldier was significantly improved.
The influence between the various branches at sea may not be particularly significant, but the influence on the naval soldiers at Marineford is enormous.
Every ordinary soldier in the Navy Headquarters now can be considered an elite soldier from the past.
Previously, they were all elite soldiers; now they are even more elite.
The most elite soldiers in the navy are naturally the soldiers of the Canglan Fleet.
Today, in Marineford, every navy officer is proud to join the Azure Fleet, and they would do anything to get in.
Because the Canglan Fleet has the best resources and treatment in the entire navy.
The benefits they enjoy are the best among soldiers; who wouldn't want to join?
However, while enjoying the best resources, they also have to undertake the most dangerous tasks. Most of the brutal pirates on the high seas need to be suppressed by the Canglan Fleet.
Therefore, the dangers posed by nature are much higher.
Even so, the Canglan Fleet remains the target of countless ordinary naval forces.
Are they afraid of dying?! Have they forgotten what they do for a living?
The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity!
Although the mission is very dangerous, the rewards for surviving will be substantial, and the speed of promotion will definitely be fast.
High risk, high reward!!
However, this training method has also created a situation where the gap between the navy and other navies around the world has widened again.
The headquarters navy was already much stronger than the branch navy, and now that it has become even stronger, the difference between it and the branch navy is like heaven and earth.
The navy doesn't have many good solutions for this situation.
After all, the core of the Canglan Fleet is at the Navy Headquarters, but they have tried to resolve the issue.
For example, every year the branch sends people to the headquarters to learn, and then they bring back the training system they learned from the headquarters to carry out training.
The outcome will depend on the implementation by each branch.
Some local naval branches treat their troops with utmost care and train them daily, which naturally improves their strength. In contrast, some local naval branches disregard their troops, resulting in their strength stagnating or even declining.
The Navy's most elite fleet is the Canglan Fleet, and the most elite and core members of the Canglan Fleet are the Canglan Squad members led by Vice Admiral Kyle.
The members of the Canglan Squad now all have a formidable reputation on the high seas and have become the backbone of the navy.
Thunder Emperor Sabo, a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, holds the rank of Vice Admiral in the Navy and possesses the strength of an Admiral candidate!
Flame Emperor Ace, a Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit) user, holds the rank of Vice Admiral in the Navy and possesses strength equivalent to an Admiral candidate!
Rubber Man Luffy, a Paramecia-type Rubber-Rubber Fruit user, holds the rank of Vice Admiral in the Navy and possesses the strength of a candidate Admiral!
King of Hell, Zoro, a three-sword style swordsman, a vice admiral in the Navy, with the strength of a candidate admiral!
Surgeon Law, a Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit user, holds the rank of Vice Admiral in the Navy and possesses the strength of an Admiral candidate!
Black Leg Sanji, a master of kicking techniques, holds the rank of Vice Admiral in the Navy and possesses the strength of a potential Admiral!
Kuina, the Frost Moon Maiden: A swordswoman from the Frost Moon, holding the rank of Vice Admiral in the Navy, possessing the strength of a top-tier elite Vice Admiral!
Chopper, the fluffy pet: A tanuki easily tricked by marshmallows, with the rank of Navy Captain, strength unknown!
This is the current situation of the Canglan Squad, apart from Kyle and Bonnie.
Bonnie hasn't been officially part of the Canglan Squad for very long, so there's not much to say about her.
As for Kyle, his introduction is very brief—the strongest man in the world!!!
That's right. Not long after the Impel Down war a year and a half ago, the title that once belonged to Whitebeard was successfully bestowed upon Kyle.
With this title, there's no need to say anything else, right?
Except for Chopper, all the members of the Canglan Squad are now lieutenant generals.
In terms of strength, most of them are at the level of candidate admirals. Sanji is slightly weaker than the others because his exoskeleton hasn't been awakened yet.
Based on Kyle's observation of this guy, his exoskeleton awakening shouldn't be too long. It could be as short as one month or as long as three months before Sanji's exoskeleton awakens, at which point his strength will be enhanced, allowing him to enter the level of a candidate admiral.
As for Kuina, her talent is indeed slightly inferior to others, so her strength has not yet broken through to the level of a candidate admiral. However, the strength of a top elite vice admiral is already stronger than most vice admirals in the Marine Headquarters.
As for the other guys, they are all at the level of candidate generals, and their strength is not much different, but there will be some difference.
Luffy, despite having the nickname "the most talkative," has successfully become the strongest among them in the past year and a half.
However, although their strength has reached the level of candidate general, they are still some distance away from becoming generals.
No one has been able to reach the level of a general in the short term.
Currently, apart from Bonnie and Kyle, all members of the Canglan Squad are not at Marine Headquarters, but are on missions outside.
High atop a mountain in Marineford, Kyle sat gazing at the endless horizon and suddenly uttered a phrase from the national language.
"Damn, stack them!!"
