Admiral, The Swordsman Of The Pirate World

Sengoku suddenly stood up from his chair. He was no less tall than Kizaru, and he bowed deeply to You Ya, a child who was dozens of years younger than him.

Just when You Ya was about to say something, she seemed to feel something in her heart and instinctively looked to the left.

I saw Kizaru sitting in the left corner.

do not know when.

Also stood up.

Bowed to You Ya.

There was no usual casual look on Kizaru's face, and his wretched expression seemed so solemn at first. He just heard him say: "That Marine worm, Colonel Mouse, to be honest, he was still a subordinate under my establishment. This kind of thing happened... .........I have an unshirkable responsibility. Mr. Vice Admiral Garp told me about your deeds, and I also know something about it.

It is hard to imagine that two people in the office, one is the Marshal of the Naval Headquarters and the other is the Admiral of Headquarters, actually bowed sincerely to a young man.

Of course, the meaning of this bow... is to apologize for feeling guilty.

To be honest, they really should apologize in episode 06.

Don’t you just think it’s a little late already?!

You Ya shook her head slightly: "You have so much free time to apologize to me, why not clean up the moths in Marine and then clean up the pirates in the world. This is a sincere way to apologize."

"There's no need to make the atmosphere so grand. Besides, you two are very old. You are bowing to me, a 13-year-old child... I'm still afraid of being bowed to by you two in the future. A short life of twenty years."

Sengoku:

Kizaru:

Do you know that speaking like this in such a serious atmosphere will ruin the atmosphere?

He straightened his back and coughed a few times. Sengoku's eyes were a little complicated. He slowly sat down, looked directly at You Ya, and said seriously: "You Ya, your strength and record are enough to promote you to Naval Headquarters." Rear Admiral, are you confident that you are worthy of this military rank?"

You Ya nodded and said, "I think there is no problem."

"I'll hold a ceremony for you tomorrow!"

Sengoku spoke.

Investiture ceremony?

You Ya was startled.

Seeming to see You Ya's confusion, Sengoku explained: "Rear Admiral is not a small military rank. The total number of Rear Admirals in Marine is less than 150, and there are not even 50 in the headquarters, not even 40." Just barely.”

"Any Marine promotion must have an investiture ceremony, and if you still want a Rear Admiral rank, then a larger investiture ceremony is needed, and the entire Naval Headquarters even needs to be notified. 11

It sounds like it's a bit troublesome, but You Ya doesn't care: "... Whatever."

Sengoku said with complex eyes: "The person in Marine who became a Rear Admiral the fastest was my old friend Zephyr. He became a Marine Rear Admiral at the age of 29. It's hard to imagine that he was still a corporal at the age of 28 and was promoted to the rank in one year. Rear Admiral, you have broken his record.

You Ya nodded thoughtfully. He was no stranger to the character "Zephyr".

This is also a tragic character in the original work.

Originally said a Marine Admiral.

Known as the non-killing Admiral.

However, when he was 42 years old, his family was killed by vicious pirates. From then on, Admiral, who believed in the "no killing" rule, began to hate those pirates.

At that time, Zephyr submitted a request to resign, but was retained by the then Marshal.

At that time, Zephyr still had some expectations for Marine, so he retained the rank of Admiral and did not choose to retire. Instead, he retired behind the scenes and became Marine's famous Zephyr Instructor.

His students include many familiar figures... Aokiji, Kizaru, Akainu, Smoker, Hina... and trained many elite Marines.

However, when Zephyr was 65 years old, the Marine recruit camp internship ship he led was attacked by Edward Weibull, a guy who called himself Whitebeard II.

Except for Ain and Binz, all the students were killed.

His right hand was severely injured as a result!

Later, Edward Weibull was invited to join Shichibukai. After learning the news, Zephyr was completely disappointed with Marine. He went out on his own to form a new Marine. His personality became more and more extreme, and he even had the idea of ​​destroying the entire New World.

Later, he was defeated by Luffy using the protagonist halo, and finally died in the New World.

"How old is Mr. Zephyr now?!"

You Ya suddenly asked a question that left Zhan Gui confused.

Although I’m not sure why You Ya is asking this.

But Sengoku still replied: "He is 66 years old, two years younger than Garp, and... He had an accident a year ago, which caused him to lose an arm and his strength was greatly reduced. , my mood has also changed drastically.”

You Ya sighed secretly in her heart, she is 66 years old, it seems it is already too late.

He remembers that Zephyr lost his arm at age 65.

But this thought was quickly forgotten.

You Ya just felt a little sorry for this man. If he could help, he would help him. But since it was already too late, he couldn't change anything. After all, You Ya couldn't turn back time.

The conversation with Sengoku ended quickly, and there was nothing left to talk about.

Sengoku asked someone to arrange an apartment for You Ya in Naval Headquarters.

After all, You Ya is about to be Marine Rear Admiral.

It is very normal to give him a single-family house.

And You Ya didn't stay in Sengoku's office for long. After he asked Sengoku about the locations of Nami and Nokigao, he walked outside.

Watching You Ya leave, Sengoku suddenly said: "Polusalino, why don't you go and see Zephyr? Although you have different ideas and a very rigid relationship, he actually treats you as a student... ...I am very satisfied.”

Kizaru fell into silence...

PS: Among the previous free chapters, there seems to be one chapter that accidentally stated Garp's age incorrectly. It seemed that it was 60 or something like that? Mistake... In this timeline, Garp's age should be around 68 years old. .
