One Piece: The Human-Human Fruit, it makes sense to be an admiral

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host for successfully defeating Gladius, the "Don Quixote Family Leader" and "Using the Parahuman Boom-Boom Fruit"! ]

[Obtained enhancement points: 350 points! ]

[Current accumulated enhancement points: 1750 points!]

[Warm Tips: Every 1000 points can be used to...]

350 points!

Ian was particularly excited that he could get more than 300 points as just an ordinary cadre.

If it were one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea himself, wouldn't Ian's evolution be even faster!

Of course, these are things you should consider after joining the department.

The most important thing to think about now is how to report this conflict with the Seven Warlords of the Sea to the headquarters!

Chapter 13 My Ideal Will Scare You

A few days later.

The headquarters of the navy, Marineford.

This is a steel fortress on the sea, exuding a terrifying majesty.

Thick and solid, it has stood the test of time and war, but still stands.

It is not only a military fortress, but also a symbol of justice and a place of faith in the hearts of countless navy men.

At this moment, many important figures from the headquarters gathered in a spacious and bright conference room.

Today was supposed to be Ian's investiture ceremony.

Ian arrived in Marinford safely an hour ago and was immediately arranged to the conference room to meet with the bigwigs of the headquarters.

But the current atmosphere is more like a trial scene for him.

The reason why it is said to be like a "trial".

This is because the Warring States Marshal of our headquarters led eight high-level cadres, four on the left and four on the right, surrounding the front in a fan shape.

Ian stood in the middle of the "encirclement" and gave a comprehensive report on what happened to the Don Quixote family's ships a few days ago.

Even the details of the battle were required to be told without omission.

Tina stood near the door of the conference room and participated in the meeting as a special attendee.

After the report is over.

Ian looked carefully at the legendary bigwigs of this department.

When he just entered the door, Tina introduced him privately. Based on their unique appearance, it was not difficult to identify their identities.

Sitting in the core position in the middle is naturally the Warring States Marshal!

To his left are Vice Admiral Garp of the Marine Headquarters and Chief of Staff Tsuru.

On the right side, one of the three natural admirals has also arrived, Admiral "Aokiji", Kuzan!

The other five are all elite lieutenant generals of the headquarters.

"Peach Rabbit" Gion and "Tea Pig" Kake are two candidates for general.

Flying Squirrel, Burning Mountain, and Doberman are three veteran lieutenant generals who once participated in the "Demon Slaying Order" operation.

Each of these top combat personnel of the Navy Headquarters possesses terrifying strength.

This kind of posture is only directed at a brigadier general who is about to be promoted... rare, absolutely rare!

"Jock Ian, based on the events you just described, what evidence do you have to conclude that there's a secret hidden on the Don Quixote family's ship?"

After listening to Ian's speech, Zhan Guo asked the key question right away.

"There's no evidence, just inference."

Ian stood with his hands behind his back, his back straight, and answered without any stage fright.

"Inference? Don't you know that as a captain of a naval branch, you have no right to declare war on anyone among the Seven Warlords of the Sea without orders from your superiors?"

Zhan Guo's face was solemn, and he continued to ask in a firm tone.

It's both rules and systems.

Ian's ears are almost callused from listening to it.

He knew in his heart that in peacetime, what Zhan Guo and Tina said was indeed very important.

But now, it is an era of total war at sea.

It requires a group of powerful navy to abide by the rules and deal with a group of unruly pirates.

I wonder how many of those present here will actually enforce the law in accordance with the law.

"I'm not qualified, but I have the responsibility to protect the East China Sea."

Ian's face was calm and his eyes were firm:

"Marshal Zhan Guo, I have made it very clear. They were the first to attack. I was acting in self-protection."

"I'm just calling for a ship inspection, not a declaration of war."

"Isn't it strange that a ship belonging to the Don Quixote family, one of the Seven Warlords of the New World, appeared in the East China Sea?"

"In fact, everyone here knows that this is very strange."

"I believe the Don Quixote family also understands that their presence in the East China Sea would be considered very strange by our navy."

"Even though they know we know it's strange that they showed up in the East China Sea, they still insist on doing weird things."

"They just rely on the support of others and are fearless!"

“So, I have to check them out!”

Ian remained calm and spoke rapidly, listing the reasons for his actions like a rapid-fire barrage of bullets.

To sum it up is very simple: no matter whether you are weird or not, we are going to rob you!

In front of the seat.

Cap's shoulders rose and fell with joy, and he covered his mouth with one hand, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Staff Officer He glanced at him and whispered, "You're laughing so happily, did you understand what this kid said?"

Cap bared his white teeth and said, "No, I don't understand at all."

Staff Officer He: “…”

The only person present who could speak so confidently to someone who didn't understand what was being said was probably Garp.

Then, Karp continued:

"Xiaohe, you don't need to understand those words at all."

"I only understood one thing. He knew that the other party was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but he was not afraid at all."

"Even after our warships had given way, he still insisted on his bottom line of justice."

"Very courageous, little brat!"

Staff Officer Crane stared at Garp's expression and couldn't help but be stunned.

She rarely saw Garp show such admiration for a young sailor.

After a brief silence, Zhan Guo changed the way of communication and continued to ask:

"Jock Ian, you will soon be taking up a position in this department and will be facing more complicated situations in the future."

"Based on your performance over the past few days, it's hard for me to believe that you would obey your superiors' orders on the battlefield."

"What do you want to say about this?"

Ian thought about it for a moment and knew that what Zhan Guo wanted to hear was nothing more than a soft word.

For example: I promise to be obedient in the future, I promise to follow my superiors’ instructions, I promise not to act recklessly in the future…

However, Ian said:

"If the order from my superiors is to punish evildoers, I can do it without hesitation;"

"But if I were asked to weigh the pros and cons and ignore the lives of ordinary people, I couldn't do it."

"Marshal of the Warring States period, fifty young children, fifty fresh young lives..."

"If you were the Marshal, what orders would you give?"

Zhan Guo's face darkened: "..."

The senior officials accompanying the scene all looked at him in surprise.

This was a meeting targeting Ian, but this kid actually turned around and questioned Marshal Zhan Guo!

He is really like a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger and dares to say anything!

Ian is not a fool, he is not just responding randomly.

Instead, he stood on the moral high ground, making it impossible for Marshal Zhan Guo to give an accurate answer.

Saying "military orders are supreme" is equivalent to disrespecting the lives of ordinary people.

As the official admiral of the Navy Headquarters, how could he say such a thing!

Being unable to explain and refute Ian doesn't mean that what Ian did this time was right.

Zhan Guo's beard trembled slightly, and he said with a slightly angry tone:

"What a 'Judge of the Sea'... Ian, do you think that just because you've achieved the feat of 'no pirates in the East China Sea', you can look down on everyone at headquarters?"

Ian, caught off guard, stood at attention and saluted, then replied righteously:

"No, Marshal Zhan Guo!"

"In my eyes, this isn't even a merit. My ideal is... a world without thieves!"

His histrionic personality instantly took over, and Ian fully demonstrated the image of a vigorous, righteous and fearless sailor.
