One Piece Flying Anchor

At dusk, seagulls sit on the power lines and preen their feathers.

The residence of retired Admiral Zefa at Marine Headquarters Marinevando displays photos of him saluting in his youth against the backdrop of seagulls taking off.

Luffy looked at the young boy in the photo with a relaxed expression on his face.

"So you decided to stay here?"

Zefa sipped the wine brought by Luffy and leaned back on the chair, full of aftertaste, "Ah, there will be a catastrophe in the future, and division now is harmful and useless. Are you really only nine years old, you brat? You don't care about my business. Where did you know that?”

Nine years old, are you exposed...

Luffy scratched his head in embarrassment, "Do you already know? I didn't hide it on purpose. After all, it's too shocking, and this can save a lot of trouble."

Zefa opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Luffy.

"Fake military status information is a very serious credibility issue. Do you want to fool it like this?"

Luffy was not frightened by Zefa and said with a smile: "Even pirates can join the army. The stain on me is like the lice on a hyena, it's nothing at all."

Zefa snorted, placed the wine glass on the table, and tapped the table with his fingers.

Luffy understood and quickly filled up his drink.

"That's why I don't like the current navy. It's such a mess, and I don't feel ashamed of the justice behind it."

Luffy really wants to tell you, haven't you broken the law too?

You must know that the Navy prohibits drinking during missions.

"Luffy."

Zefa drank a large glass and his expression suddenly became serious.

Luffy also straightened up and responded, "Here, what are your instructions from Mr. Zefa."

Zefa looked at Luffy, who had a flattering eyebrow, for a moment.

He said: "Ain's ability is too dangerous for you. For your safety, it's better to keep her away from you and move her to my side."

Those with the Ain Regression Fruit ability can regress the physiological condition of a designated target for a period of time, and can be used cumulatively.

Not only dangerous to Luffy, it can be said to be dangerous to everyone.

If the time goes back beyond the years, the person will be gone.

"Ain is also a member of the NEO Navy. Although you have decided to stay in the Navy, you will inevitably encounter suspicion if you gather old people around you."

"Ain following you is not a good thing for either Ain or you."

"So, Ain should stay with me."

Luffy filled Zefa's glass.

Zefa slowly lowered his eyes and looked at the clear wine glass.

"What you said doesn't make sense."

"For this reason, I applied for formal retirement, but unfortunately that old guy from the Warring States Period didn't agree."

"I really want to bury the rest of my life here."

Luffy complimented, "Isn't this also your biggest wish?"

Zefa smiled wryly without comment.

After three drinks, Luffy stood up to say goodbye.

"Wait a minute, it's okay for Ain to stay with you, but after a month, she must contact me once, otherwise I can't feel at ease. Do you understand what I mean?"

Luffy bowed and said: "Please rest assured, Ain's injuries are not serious. The doctor said she is just sleeping. I will let her contact you when she wakes up."

……

In the next few days, Luffy met Sengoku and Garp again.

The two old men are also working in shifts now and are working very hard.

The two grandfathers' hair was still black the last time they met, but this time they both had white hair.

Luffy bought some life-prolonging supplements at the guild mall and gave them to the two of them as a token of appreciation.

1514 11 Month 28 Day.

Morgans newspapers reported that Monkey D. Long had escaped from prison.

There is no official response yet.

On December 1514, 12, the selection competition for admiral officially began.

The selection format was somewhat different from what Luffy expected.

Luffy originally thought that Sengoku would let them compete in the ring and win the top nine.

It's a pity that the Warring States Period put everyone together.

海军大将选拔形式竟然是比军功，期限：1514年12月1日-1516年12月1日。

Those who arrest or kill the Four Pirate Emperors Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Dragon Kaido, Big Mom Charlotte Lingling, and Red-haired Shanks can advance directly.

Arrest or kill Monkey D. Long, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, to advance directly.

In addition, the top nine people will receive military merit.

This mission is of great benefit to the Navy.

Not only can it select outstanding talents for the navy and reduce the burden on the navy, but it can also eliminate those with impure thoughts.

I just pity his father.

As soon as he escaped from Impel Down City, he was chased by a group of lunatics.

Why bother?

It's really better to get off the ladder when there is a chance. The condition offered by the Warring States Period is to directly serve as a naval admiral.

"The above! These are the rules for general selection."

Warring States stood on the podium, and below, three serving Navy generals, Kizaru, Akainu, and Aokiji, sat facing the crowd.

Next to him, Garp and Crane stood guard on both sides.

As long as the venue moves slightly, these people will suppress the troublemakers with thunder.

"Any more questions?"

If you don't understand, just ask, Luffy raised his hand in front of everyone.

"Excuse me, the bounty will still be given as usual, right?"

Sengoku twitched the corner of his mouth and glared at Luffy: "The bounty is as usual!"

Luffy sat back, "That's no problem, just leave your precious time to others."

Sengoku looked away.

Hancock raised his hand.

"Can we cooperate with each other?"

"How will the score be calculated if we cooperate?"

Warring States did not expect this situation and pondered for a moment.

"We can cooperate, and the points for cooperation will be divided equally."

Hancock sat back and said, "Then I don't have any other questions."

Doflamingo raised his hand.

The three of them sat in a row and raised their hands together, which was very conspicuous.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Excuse me, can I take the successfully captured pirates under my banner?"

Sengoku looked at Garp.

Garp lowered his head and clasped his nose and ignored him.

Then he turned to look at the crane.

Crane shook his head.

"If the captured pirates surrender, they can be taken to the headquarters for reform and education. After completing the reform and education, which team they will join will be assigned by the headquarters. They cannot be kept privately!"

Doflamingo sat down and said, "Then I have no problem."

An unknown person raised his hand.

"In what capacity should we pursue pirates? Pirate hunters, or navy?"

This is a good question.

The three hundred and seventy people present all looked towards Warring States.

The Warring States Period was prepared.

"Navy Special Reserves. Special Reserves have the identity of the Navy. They do not have the authority to hold naval positions, and they do not have to obey the deployment of anyone other than me."

"The special reserve status and mission execution manual will be issued to everyone soon."

Sengoku motioned to the person who issued the ID to issue it.

After reading the manual, most of the problems were easily solved.
