Red Leaf Island! This island is directly under the jurisdiction of the Navy G6 Branch. It is shaped like a maple leaf, and red trees grow on the island all year round. Looking down from the sky, it looks like a red leaf falling on the sea, so it is named Red Leaf Island. It is an island with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery.
The island is not very big, and the town has less than 20,000 people. It is just an inconspicuous island in the Grand Line. At first, it was just a natural port. Later, passing merchants discovered business opportunities. The sap of the red leaf trees on the island can be used for dyes and medical treatment. This discovery made the deserted Red Leaf Island prosperous and gradually grew to its current size.
During a quick trip to the G6 branch, Duke met the lieutenant general who was in charge of the branch, an old man who did not appear in the original novel. The two had a brief conversation, and the lieutenant general dispatched Duke to this remote island as the highest commander of the base.
Although he is the highest commander, the Red Leaf Island base has only 314 people from top to bottom, including logistics, and has one medium-sized warship. Among the bases of the G6 branch, it is one of the weakest in strength.
On the first day Duke took over the base, he beat up all the navy soldiers on the grounds of lax military conduct. He won respect through force and firmly secured his position as the base commander.
Duke can't be blamed for being unreasonable. On the Grand Line, both the navy and the pirates live with their heads on their belts. Here, reason is far less effective than fists in winning people's hearts.
After training soldiers, handling simple official documents, and patrolling the sea, Duke devoted all his energy to the practice of the Six Styles of the Navy and Haki. His diligence and self-discipline created a good atmosphere in the base, and his bravery in leading the way in every battle made the soldiers willing to die for him.
"The Giant Shark Pirates are all made up of fishmen. Those monsters have arm strength ten times stronger than humans, and they hate humans very much. Every time they rob a port, they will kill civilians. They are also a cruel type among pirates." The sergeant handed Duke the relevant information about the Giant Shark Pirates and Captain 'Tiger Shark' Luxon and Vice Captain 'Swordfish' Hasson, and explained the danger of this pirate group. The Navy Headquarters once specially sent a major general to hunt down the Giant Shark Pirates for half a year, but unfortunately, every time at the last moment, the fishmen would jump into the sea and escape. The sea is the world of fishmen. Even a major general dares not fight a large group of powerful fishmen on the sea, so this group of villains has been at large.

The unsuccessful candidates can only be allocated limited resources. If they want to climb higher, they must pay more. Duke is such an unsuccessful candidate. The teachers in the school think that although this student has excellent grades and is a very talented young man, he lacks the justice of the Navy to eradicate all evil, so he cannot be regarded as a key training target.
"Captain Duke, everyone is ready and has started boarding the ship. We can set off at any time." The sergeant came over, handed Duke his sword, and saluted.
"It depends! If it doesn't work out, I'll just find another job." Duke was a bachelor. After spending half a year on Hongye Island, he gradually lost his patience to climb up. Every time he saw the sea, he had a desire to run to the sea, but his identity as a navy restricted him, which made him more shaken...
"'Tiger Shark' Luxon, bounty 120,000,000 Baileys, extremely dangerous, dead or alive! 'Swordfish' Hassen, bounty 68,000,000 Baileys, extremely dangerous, dead or alive!" Duke looked at the bounty list, scratched his chin and thought secretly. It has been almost twelve years since the execution of Pirate King Roger. The order of the entire sea has not been stabilized. It is an era when pirates emerge in endlessly. Now is not the time for inflation in the future. Bailey is still very valuable. Although there is the factor of killing civilians, the value of nearly 200 million Baileys is enough to show its danger.
…
If Duke knew, he would definitely agree with the teachers' views. He joined the navy not for justice, but simply to become stronger, stronger than everyone else. This is the unchanging goal of the traverser team and the motivation for their efforts.
"Captain Duke, our mission is just patrolling, and our superiors' orders are to stay on standby and report promptly when we see the flag of the Giant Shark Pirates. Wouldn't it be too reckless to clash with them like this?" The sergeant swallowed his saliva when he saw the pirate ship coming. The high bounties of 'Tiger Shark' Luxon and 'Swordfish' Hassan were like a mountain pressing down on his head, making him afraid before the battle. In addition to these two brutal captains, the other crew members were not easy to deal with either. If he rashly went to war with them, he would get nothing in return.
"Very good, let's set off immediately!" Duke took the sword and tied it around his waist, put on a large banner with the word justice written on it, and strode towards the port.
"But Boss..." Hassan was equally excited and a little uneasy: "But, if we act so blatantly, will we be hunted down by the navy? I'm not afraid of the human navy... I'm just afraid that it will bring trouble to Big Brother Tiger!"
"Captain Duke..."
"I've been on this island for almost half a year. Finally, a powerful pirate appears. I hope he's not too weak." Duke looked at the endless sea and sighed.
Luxon interrupted Hassan and said in a low voice with a gloomy face: "Brother Tiger is indeed too lenient, but I will not do that. I will never forget the pain that humans have brought us. Although I don't know why Brother Tiger came to Forshat Island, I will always remember his kindness in my heart. He is the hero of our fishmen. I will kill all those scum in the navy."
"What's going on? Where did the shells come from?"
"They just wandered around, and didn't say they would attack Red Leaf Island. But we'd better be cautious, who knows what these fishmen are up to. Order the entire army to enter wartime alert, double the number of sea patrols during the day, and increase island patrols at night, and don't be negligent. Also... let the logistics department prepare the supplies, we will go to sea immediately!" Duke ordered, and the sergeant strode away after receiving the order and passed on his order.
Hassan nodded and agreed, "That's right, Boss. All humans deserve to die! The brothers followed you in the first place just to make humans pay with blood. This is the revenge of the fishmen on humans."
On this day, Duke was soaking in the deep sea near the base, using the water pressure to exercise his physical strength, when he heard the sergeant's shouting from the shore. Duke held his breath, stepped on the sea water continuously, and jumped out of the sea like a fish.
The fish-man pirates shouted in response, turned their ships around and attacked. A mere medium-sized warship, fully loaded with no more than 200 people, actually dared to attack the Giant Shark Pirates. They really wanted to die.
A shell landed on the sea surface in front of the right side of the Giant Shark Pirates, stirring up a large amount of sea water, which rained down on the deck. All the fishmen on the deck became drowned rats, and they all roared.
"Why would such a dangerous pirate group come to us?" The sergeant wondered. The people who came and went from Red Leaf Island were all timber merchants. It was not a very lucrative place for pirates, and pirates with some strength would not pay attention to this place. Especially the Fishman Pirates, they should not appear here.
“Kill them!”
Joining the navy is indeed the wisest choice in the early stage, but it is not enough in the middle and late stages. After the basic training, the navy's top brass will screen and select the successors they think are qualified, and give them all kinds of resources, such as devil fruits or famous swords, to train them to become the pillars of the navy. These people have a bright future, and their future achievements are at least the level of major generals.
"Order the artillery to continue firing and sink their pirate ship before they get close." Duke ignored the cautious sergeant and continued to order the attack.
The sergeant looked at Duke's streamlined and strong body with a little envy, and quickly handed over the official document and replied: "Captain Duke, the latest telegram from the G6 branch is that the Giant Shark Pirates have fled to the sea area under the branch's responsibility. The superiors asked you to be vigilant and strengthen patrols around the clock to prevent sneak attacks by the Giant Shark Pirates. If you encounter them, report to the branch immediately."
boom------
"There are human warships behind us. Damn it, it's the navy."
"Giant Shark Pirates? Are they very powerful?" Duke had never heard of this pirate group, but since the higher-ups had made a special post about it, they must be more than just a bunch of powerful characters.
Duke casually wiped the seawater off his body, put on his clothes and asked, "What happened?"
Hassan was slapped in the face, and half of his face suddenly swelled up. He was not angry, but explained incoherently: "Of course Brother Tiger is not afraid, but you know that Brother Tiger is too kind, he never kills humans..."
"That's great. I can see Brother Tiger and my fellow Sun Pirates again!" Upon hearing this, Luxon thought of the idol worshipped by all fishmen, the hero who saved him from the dark hell.
Hearing this, Luxon looked back and saw a naval ship firing cannonballs at this place. He shouted angrily: "Turn the ship around and attack them."
"Asshole, what nonsense are you talking about! Is Brother Tiger afraid of those low-level humans?" Luxon glared at his deputy captain with dissatisfaction, raised his hand and slapped him.
"Follow your orders, Sergeant." Duke looked at the Sergeant deeply and continued, "There is no such thing as 'escape without a fight' in the Navy's dictionary."
"I understand. I will follow your orders now!"
