Chapter 40: Colonel of the Naval Headquarters, Gion
Navy Headquarters, Marinephant
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
There was a knock on the door of the Admiral's office. Sengoku, who was sitting on his desk, handed a document in his hand to the goat's mouth next to him, and then motioned for the other party to come in.
"Sorry to bother you, Marshal Sengoku, this is my mission report this time, and when I was returning, I happened to encounter a pirate group, so I wiped them out by the way.
It was also for this reason that the return flight was one day later than expected.
The matter of deviating from the voyage to pursue the pirate group is entirely my personal opinion, so I hope that if the marshal wants to punish me, please punish me alone and not involve other people on the ship."
The person who entered the marshal's office was a dashing female naval admiral. She had beautiful black hair and wore a long knife at her waist. Not only did she have an extremely proud bust, she also had a pair of breasts that most of her male compatriots couldn't.
Ignore the long legs.
And if Wood were here at this moment, he would definitely find that what appears in front of Sengoku at this moment is Gion, whom he has not seen for half a year.
Today, Gion is wearing a white navy sergeant's uniform, with a cape with "Justice" written on his back.
When I graduated from Gion, my military rank was only "sergeant", and a sergeant was not qualified to wear a navy cape, let alone meet the navy marshal directly.
Obviously, half a year has passed. Unlike Wood, who was assigned to watch the ponds on the border, Gion, located at the Navy Headquarters, has been in a state of improvement over the past six months.
After taking a look at the mission report submitted by Gion, Sengoku nodded from time to time. Then when he saw that the naval regiment that Gion killed was actually a pirate worth over 100 million that had recently caused a headache for the navy, the corner of Sengoku's mouth showed up again.
A satisfied smile.
"Thank you for your hard work this time, Colonel Gion. Regarding your mission, I also received a letter of thanks from that kingdom. They are very satisfied with the completion of your mission this time.
As for returning home a day late, this is because the incident happened for a reason. Fighting against the vicious pirate group is also to implement the justice of the navy, so I won't punish you more this time.
But if you encounter a similar situation next time, it’s best to use the phone bug to report it to the Navy Headquarters. Don’t be like some old bastards who completely ignore the Navy’s discipline!”
Based on Sengoku's relationship with Lieutenant General Tsuru, it was impossible for him not to know Gion, and since Gion graduated from the Naval Academy, Sengoku was quite satisfied with Gion's performance.
Compared to most of the navy, Gion, as a woman, acts more delicately and knows how to think before acting, perfectly inheriting the advantages of Naval Staff Officer Tsuru.
For example, this time there was civil strife in a certain world government alliance country, Gion handled it very well. Not only did it handle the civil strife perfectly, it gave the navy a lot of reputation, and even the ending was handled perfectly, leaving no hidden dangers.
It is not difficult to suppress civil strife. Even with the combat power of the Navy Headquarters, it can be done by sending any admiral-level navy officer there. However, only Gion can handle the follow-up so perfectly.
As for the old bastard Sengoku mentioned, Gion knew that he was talking about the hero of the Navy, Lieutenant General Garp, even without saying much.
According to what Gion learned from Tsuru, every time Lieutenant General Garp went to sea to fight pirates, it was like going on vacation.
He is obviously a weak pirate, but he can hang out for a long time before returning to the navy headquarters. It is normal operation to return a day or two overdue.
There was even a time when Garp did not return to the Navy Headquarters for several months. Finally, he came back reluctantly after receiving an unbearable urgent order from the Warring States Marshal.
As a hero of the navy, Garp is the belief and role model of all navies, so Sengoku would often feel angry because of Garp's too casual behavior.
And he also believed that Garp's lazy behavior would affect the ethos of the entire navy.
Leaving aside others, Sengoku discovered that among the few rising naval stars he was optimistic about, some of them had been led astray by Garp's ethos.
Kizaru Porusalino is currently serving as a Vice Admiral in the Navy. He is a user with the "Sparkling Fruit" ability of the natural system. He is proficient in the Haki of knowledge and weapons and the Haki of weapons. The Devil Fruit is the most powerful fruit in the natural system.
However, one thing gave Warring States a headache, and that was that this guy was extremely afraid of trouble and would do whatever he could get paid.
Every day, I have to clock in and get off work on time. I don't have a strong sense of belonging to the Navy and my own sense of justice.
In addition to Kizaru, another rising star of the Navy who was favored by Sengoku also had similar problems. Sengoku even believed that Garp was absolutely responsible for the fact that the newcomer he had high hopes for turned into what he is now!
Because compared to his crooked "Kizaru", Qingzhi followed Garp for a while after graduation.
Compared to Kizaru, Qingzhi has a stronger sense of belonging to the navy, and he also has his own justice.
It's just that such a highly anticipated newcomer, after following Garp for a while, such a good young man, now only thinks about how to lie down all day long, and even euphemistically calls him "Lazy Justice".
After this incident alone, Sengoku decided that in the future, any promising new recruits to the navy would never be sent to Garp for training.
The old guy refused to be promoted to admiral just so he could leave the navy headquarters at will.
In the past, it could be said that it was for the convenience of chasing Roger, but now that Roger has been idle for several years, and Garp is still unwilling to serve as a general, it is just for the convenience of laziness!
"You have accomplished your task very well this time, and you have worked hard to suppress the civil strife in the royal family. I will grant you a few days of leave this time, so you can have a good rest."
Looking at the heroic Gion in front of him, Sengoku became more and more satisfied. If the navy had more elites like Gion, who were not only powerful but also smooth in dealing with things, then it would be much easier for him to be a naval marshal.
.
When Sora was the marshal of the navy, apart from naval affairs, it was him and Tsuru. Now that he has become the marshal of the navy, he is the one who handles these matters...
"Marshal Warring States, this task of suppressing the civil unrest was actually quite easy. This pirate group was also encountered along the way. It didn't take much effort, so I don't need to take a vacation...
Well, at least I don’t need to take a vacation. If the Warring States Marshal has any tasks that can be carried out with only a small number of people, he can leave them to me."
Gion originally wanted to say that she didn't need to rest, but she suddenly realized that she couldn't represent everyone.
After following his subordinates and running around with him for so many days, he really needed a rest, so Gion temporarily changed his words and said that he was the only one who didn't need a rest.
