A few days ago.
Marine Headquarters - Marineford.
Office of the Warring States General.
"General Sengoku! You mean to let me go to the West Blue as part of the inspection team!" Her slender white hands slammed on the desk.
A middle-aged man wearing frog-shaped glasses, with a long black beard tied into a pigtail on his chin and a white navy hat with a seagull standing on it, sat in the front.
Looking at the girl in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a headache. He rubbed his temples and explained:
"Gion-chan, this is what Tsuru meant."
"You will be attending this year's Navy training camp soon, and Alan is also on the invitation list."
"You know what I mean."
Facing his old friend's most beloved sister, Sengoku said, "How many people in the Navy Headquarters dare to talk to me like this?"
The girl called Gion frowned tightly, and a hint of confusion and thought appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Is he the scum of the navy who became infamous in just three years?" She asked with obvious disdain and questioning in her tone.
Sengoku on the side nodded slightly to show his affirmation.
Gion's expression grew more serious as he continued:
"Is this kind of scum worthy of entering the Marine Training Camp? Has the Navy fallen to such a low point?"
Sengoku did not answer Gion's question immediately, but pushed a thick stack of information in front of Gion.
His eyes were deep and serious, and he slowly spoke:
"Gion, he's not as simple as he seems. Take a look first. I believe you'll understand what I mean after you finish reading..."
For the Warring States, Alan is undoubtedly a rare talent.
Despite his poor reputation, his ability and political skills are undeniable.
Gion picked up the stack of information suspiciously and began to look through it.
Her originally tense face gradually turned into one of surprise.
In just half a year, both the number of pirates burning, killing and looting in the West Blue and the number of pirates heading to the Grand Line have reached an all-time low.
Gion took the information and saw on the top page:
[Name: Alan Drake
Age: 18
Origin: West Blue, orphan
Position: Supreme Commander of the West Blue 104th Branch Base (temporary)
Rank: Captain of the Naval Branch
ability:
Unknown (displayed the ability to control fire)
Suspected to be a swordsman, mastering a rare style of swordsmanship;
evaluate:
He has outstanding abilities and is ruthless and merciless when facing pirates (he basically doesn't leave any pirates with bounties alive). He has a strong influence in the West Blue. He has amazing potential and his strength has increased dramatically in three years. It is recommended that he be included in the Navy Officer Training Camp.
Note: This person has a very bad reputation in the Navy and has serious problems with his lifestyle.]
The rest of the paper below contains all the achievements in suppressing pirates in the past three years. As for why it was the suppression of the Warring States, I would also like to ask.
The photo of a young and sunny boy in the upper right corner attracted Gion's attention.
The red agate eyes couldn't help but flicker.
After reading the introduction again, she looked at Sengoku with some doubts.
"Are you sure the photo is of him?"
Gion said that she couldn't connect a navy scum with someone like Little Sun.
Sengoku also spread his hands.
"This is indeed him."
"Aside from anything else, Alan is indeed a very talented marine."
Sengoku stood up and turned his back to Gion, looking at the map on the wall.
"This review and Alan's letter of appointment are now in your hands."
...
A certain sea area in the West Blue.
On the azure sea, a warship with a blue seagull logo was sailing slowly.
On the deck of the warship.
A tall girl was browsing the documents in her hands, and the cool sea breeze blew her long black hair.
She wore a cloak of justice, a pink tight short-sleeved shirt, and brown shorts that highlighted her long legs with spider tattoos.
Right now!
A figure wearing a naval captain's cloak suddenly jumped out.
What caught my eye was a unique face, a slightly vulgar expression, and the combination of facial features was... weird?
You can tell at first glance that he's a good person!
"Gion, accept me and let me kiss you!!" He pounced directly at Gion.
Gion said in a cold tone: "Get out!"
Kake ignored Gion's scolding.
Bang!!!
The next second, the navy who were still watching nearby saw an unknown object flying towards them like a cannonball.
The navy who got close to him was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
When he came back to his senses and looked ahead, there was no sign of Kake anymore, only Gion who was slowly retracting her long, beautiful legs.
Only then did he realize that Kake was lying on his back, embedded in the wall.
There was a very obvious high heel mark on his face, and his body was twitching from time to time.
Gion rubbed her temples and flipped through the documents in her hand again.
It took only three years to complete the achievement of more than twenty pages.
"Is this kid our target? He hasn't even grown all his hair yet."
At this moment, Kake also came over quickly in two steps and looked at the documents in Gion's hand.
Gion glanced at Kake and couldn't help but clench her fists at Kake, who was pestering and begging one second, and then telling lies seriously the next.
Resisting the urge to beat up Kake, she slowly explained:
"Don't underestimate him. According to General Sengoku, he had great influence in the West Blue and it's not an exaggeration to call him a local emperor."
Having said this, Gion paused for a moment and then added:
"Also, this is the mission General Sengoku entrusted me with. It was you who insisted on following me, okay?"
After saying that, Gion looked helplessly at the guy in front of her who she couldn't get rid of no matter how hard she tried.
Kake didn't care about Gion's complaints at all, and said with a playful smile:
"Oh my, I'm just worried that you won't be safe alone."
"Alan has such a bad reputation. If he dares to say something rude, I can help you deal with him!"
Kake stroked his hair with one hand and chuckled.
"This guy is just a captain in a branch. How could General Sengoku take him so seriously?"
As a native headquarters officer, Kake naturally looked down on a captain from the local branch.
Who were the Warring States generals?
Buddha Sengoku, known as the wise general, is as famous as the hero Garp. He can be said to be the peak combat force of the navy.
How could they pay so much attention to a small branch naval captain?
Gion shook her head upon hearing this.
"Obviously, he might not be simple."
When Kake heard Gion praising other men, he also wanted to teach Alan a lesson.
"If Alan Drake's crimes are proven, can we just take him down?"
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together, looking eager to get started.
"No, our main task is to determine if he is qualified to enter the Navy training camp."
"But if the situation is true, I must teach him a lesson myself!"
