From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

"This is for excellent marines, you can't wear it now." Ace refused without hesitation, then threw the tattered vest he had found from somewhere to Luffy and said, "I don't need this anymore, so I'll give it to you."

Even though the worn-out vest of justice had almost turned yellow from washing, the silly boy Luffy still happily took it and said excitedly: "Thank you, Ace!" "It's okay, you are my brother after all." Ace, wearing the new vest, patted the silly Luffy on the shoulder.

Garp, who was not far away, laughed and said, "In two years, Luffy, you will be able to go to military school. Then let Zephyr give you one as well." "Hahaha, that's no problem." Zephyr also laughed.

At this moment, Ace also saw Sakaski, and his expression suddenly lit up with joy. He rushed over happily and said, "Uncle Sakaski!"

After seeing Ace, Sakaski's originally stiff expression became much gentler. He forced a smile and said, "Oh, Ace! Congratulations on being admitted to the Military Academy. It seems that you are indeed an excellent guy." That's right, although Ace has a close relationship with Zefa, he really didn't use any backdoor this time. He was admitted entirely by his own strength.

He should be thirteen years old this year. After studying in school for three years, he will be exactly sixteen after graduation. He can go through the formal procedures and join the navy.

"I'm taking you, Uncle Sakaski, as my role model." Ace said eloquently.

Sakaski was also very happy to be coaxed by Ace. He couldn't help but pat Ace on the shoulder and said, "Very good, Ace, this is my gift to you."

As he spoke, Sakaski handed the custom-made revolver to Ace.

Boys, perhaps, all have a natural interest in guns. Ace took the revolver and said excitedly, "Thank you, uncle." "I'm glad you like it," said Sakaski.

On the other side, Garp took a bag of senbei from Nokiko with a smile and asked curiously, "Nokiko, you really don't plan to be a navy? I think you should be very talented. Xiaohe and Gion like you very much." Nokiko, with her indigo and purple hair, looked very cute, like a little adult. Recently, she has started to work as a tavern hostess.

Listening to Garp's question, Nojigo said helplessly, "Mr. Garp, there are five of us in our family. One of us is retired from the navy, one is going to military school tomorrow, and another is always shouting that he wants to be the 'King of the Navy'. As for Nami..."

"I've passed the first-level navigator qualification exam, but I'm too young to go to sea. Next, Sister Tina has sent a letter to Visalia Island for me. There's a climatologist there who really appreciates my thesis and is planning to come to Marineford to take me for further studies. When I return from Visalia Island, I'll be able to join the navy as a special recruit!" Nami, who has short orange hair, said calmly, playing a Kim Bailey in her left hand and reading a book on climatology in her right hand.

Compared to Ace and Luffy, who are both reckless men, it is obvious that Nami is taking the route of a top student.

"Yes, Nami will definitely join the navy. By then, four out of the five people in our family will be sailors. I really don't want to join the navy anymore. Just let me quietly inherit Bellmère's property and become a rich woman, hahaha." Nojigao said with a smile.

When Garp heard this, he seemed to agree. Since Nokiko was not interested, there was no need to force anything.

But at this moment, he was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean by a family of five? I am your grandfather. We are a family of six, right?" "Yes, yes, a family of six, five navy men..." Nojigo said perfunctorily.

"Hahahaha..." Zefa laughed on the side.

At this moment, the door to the tavern was pushed open again, and Gion walked in, looking a little tired. The proprietress, Belle-mère, saw Gion and walked over to him and asked, "What's wrong? You look so bad?" Belle-mère and Gion had a very good relationship, and they were close friends. Hearing this caring question, Gion smiled slightly and said, "I've been too busy." "You should probably get some more rest, learn from that Diarmait. I heard he's on vacation again?" Belle-mère asked.

"Isn't it? Among all the senior leaders of the navy, he seems to be the most idle." Gion said unhappily.

But after he finished speaking, Gion saw Kuzan sitting alone in the corner, almost asleep, and he became angry again and said, "And that guy, maybe Diarmuid was led astray by him!" Kuzan? ? ?

Are all you women so unreasonable?

Why don't you say Borsalino?

Before Kuzan could refute anything, Marshal Zhan Guo and Chief of Staff Ahe pushed the door open, glanced at the people inside and said, "Why are you all here?" After a closer look, it was clear that Diarmuid and Tina were on vacation outside, so it was impossible for them to rush back for such a thing.

Borsalino is busy finishing up the aftermath of Punk Hazard in the New World, and he is not very familiar with Ace and the others.

Apart from them, all the other big guys seemed to have arrived.

"Isn't it because I have face?!" Garp said proudly.

Look, my adopted grandson is going to military school and will become an excellent sailor. All the bigwigs in the navy have come to visit him. How face-saving is that?

No one paid any attention to him. Marshal Zhan Guo walked in, sat down next to Sakaski, and said, "Sakaski, how is the situation in the New World?" Requesting flowers.

Gion was pulled by Bellmère to sit on the other side with Chief of Staff Azuru, and they also talked about some naval matters.

Garp was embarrassed for a moment, and said unhappily, "Alas, without Diarmait, you guys are boring." After muttering, Garp turned to look at Zephyr and said, "Speaking of which, besides Ace, are there any other outstanding talents in this class?" Zephyr took out an asthma inhaler, sprayed it in his mouth, and then said with a somewhat satisfied expression, "There are indeed a few." "Oh?" Garp was a little surprised, and then said, "The kind that can stand on equal footing with Ace?"

"It's not clear yet. We can only see it through actual teaching, but the potential should be good, especially a little girl named 'Ain'. Her fruit ability is quite rare and powerful." Teacher Zefa said with great interest.

"What ability?" Karp asked curiously.

"Metahuman type. Reversal Fruit..." Teacher Zefa said with a smile.

"That's really impressive!" Karp said with a surprised expression.

After a brief pause, Karp asked with a strange expression, "What does the little girl look like?"

"What does she look like?" Zefa was stunned for a moment. He had never noticed it before, or rather, he had never thought about it. After all, he was in his forties and didn't pay attention to such things. After thinking about it for a while, Zefa touched his chin and said, "She should be considered quite cute, right? She's a beauty..." "Hehehe..." Garp suddenly laughed.

Zefa glared at Garp and said, "You are in your forties. Put away your dirty thoughts."

Garp was stunned for a moment, then cursed angrily, "Asshole, who do you think I am? No matter how reckless I am, I can't be this filthy, can I? I think that little girl is going to be Ace's classmate. Maybe in a few years, I'll have a great-grandchild. By then, our family will have four generations of navy soldiers. That sounds exciting."

"Where did the fourth generation come from? Drago is no longer a navy." Zefa complained mercilessly.

Garp's face froze, and then he said stubbornly, "After all, he was a navy. Even if we don't take him into consideration, Belle is my daughter now. She is at least the first generation, right? That means she is the fourth generation. I am from a legitimate navy family!"

Meanwhile, the Dragon, mentioned by Garp and Zephyr, was standing at the port of Alabasta, the oldest nation of mankind. On the rapeseed flowers.

"Perhaps, we should go to Albana first and meet His Majesty Cobra?" Dorag said with a smile as he looked at the harbor full of rapeseed flowers.

Even though Alabasta is plagued by internal conflicts, this port city is still prosperous.

Soon, Dorag disappeared among the crowd.

At a fruit stall at the harbor, the young stall owner looked up in the direction where Dorag disappeared, frowned, and said, "Dorag? I have to report this to headquarters."

If you look closely, you'll see that this guy selling fruit is actually a member of the Naval Intelligence Department's "Special Forces." ...The kid Diarmait brought back from Mignon Island. Drake!

This guy was recommended to Zephyr by Diarmait. After Zephyr had led him for a while, he was spotted by Chief of Staff Ahe because he had a shallow foundation in the headquarters and didn't know many people. He was just the right fit and was quickly transferred to the Intelligence Department. He participated in the operations of the special forces and was inexplicably sent to Alabasta.

The situation in this turbulent desert country is becoming increasingly bizarre.

Chapter 332 The elites of the Navy Intelligence Department!

Drake quickly closed his stall and disappeared into the bustling port.

But he didn't dare to follow Dorag, not because he was afraid of Dorag's strength, but because he was worried that if he rashly followed Dorag, his identity and whereabouts would be exposed, which would be bad if he alerted the enemy.

Arriving at a remote alley, Drake took out his Den Den Mushi and began to contact his superiors at headquarters.

Marine Headquarters. Marineford.

Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan sat in the office of the Intelligence Department, yawned, slowly threw a document on the table, and then took out a cigar from the drawer.

He likes to light a cigar after finishing his work and enjoy a moment of leisure in the busy time.

On Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan's desk, there was a photo frame containing a photo of three people.

It seemed that they were all very young at that time, namely Diarmait, the flying squirrel and himself.

The background of the photo is obviously the military academy dormitory building that has long been demolished and rebuilt. Oh, by the way, it was called the "Officer Training Camp" at that time.

Back then, he, Diarmait and the Flying Squirrel were roommates, and the three of them had a very close relationship.

Now they are naturally not doing badly, and each of them has reached a high position. Diarmait is one of the three admirals of the navy, Flying Squirrel took over G-7 and is in charge of the entire Calm Belt, and Huoshaoshan has also become the boss of the intelligence department.

In fact, it's not just the three of them. Although the officer training camp doesn't sound as domineering and formal as the "military academy", it is not as formal as the "military academy".

"667" but in fact, its value is obviously higher than that of the military academy that was later reorganized.

For example, the Sixth Officer Training Camp where Diarmuid, Huoshaoshan and others were located had a small number of people, only twenty or thirty people at the beginning, but to this day, all those who are still alive and have not retired have at least achieved the position of major general in the headquarters.

These brothers often benefit each other. Sometimes, everyone pushes and pulls each other, and at the same level, they will definitely be promoted faster and gain more benefits than those with slightly lesser backgrounds.

This is also one of the reasons why Mr. Zephyr has been in the second line for so many years and has stepped down as admiral. After his real retirement, he is still able to maintain a strong influence in the headquarters of the navy.

Because his students are almost all over the senior positions of the Naval Headquarters.

To be honest, it means that Mr. Zephyr really has no intention of managing these things, and has no interest in power or anything like that, otherwise he would not have voluntarily resigned as the Admiral of the Navy.

Otherwise, with Mr. Zefa's influence, if he wanted to do something, it would be possible for him to overthrow the marshal.

Of course, things are mutual. It is because the Marshal and others can see that Zefa is unlikely to do such a thing, and he is not interested in these things.

That’s why Mr. Zefa can be so stable in his position as principal.

Even though everyone seems to have a very good relationship, when it comes to the balance of power, it is impossible to be too sentimental.

If Mr. Zefa had ambition, the principal would have changed three or two times...

It is precisely because he has no ambition and is full of love for the navy that he can firmly hold the position of principal of the military academy and his students are spread throughout the entire naval system.

"Do you want to wait until the weekend to go have a drink with Flying Squirrel?" said the general in Huoshaoshan, slowly exhaling a puff of smoke.

Don't look at the Flying Squirrel being in G-7, but Admiral Burning Mountain is in Marineford.

But in fact, if they use the Justice Current, Huoshaoshan can reach G-7 in half a day. After drinking with the flying squirrel, they can take a nap and come back the next day.

But before Huoshaoshanzhong figured all this out.

The encrypted Den Den Mushi on his desk suddenly rang.

Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan's expression straightened. Encrypted Den Den Mushi were undoubtedly reserved for the Intelligence Department's special agents stationed outside the country. They usually didn't ring, but when they did, it signaled the acquisition of significant intelligence. Without a second thought, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan picked up the Den Den Mushi and said, "Encrypted, SWORD, Special Forces, Non-Existent Organization, Field Team Zero..."

Drake whispered to Den Den Mushi, "Special Forces, number 1667."

"Lancelot has drawn the Elven Sword," Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan said suddenly and inexplicably. Drake then added fluently, "The young man who slew the dragon eventually became the dragon himself." After these two inexplicable coded sentences, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan finally smiled.

If Drake responded with something like 'The devil from hell is calling the souls', it would mean that he was being controlled by someone, and everything he said next was under duress.

And 'the boy who slays dragons eventually becomes the dragon' means that he is safe now, and there are no accidents. He just has something to report.

Since the reorganization of the Intelligence Department, Diarmait has set up some messy organizations, such as some non-existent organizations, which are still half-dead and embarrassing. However, many of his tricks have been retained, such as this coded interface. Not to mention, these inconspicuous changes have helped the Intelligence Department avoid many serious problems over the years and saved the lives of many intelligence personnel.

"Number 1667, Drake?" Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan asked with a smile.

"Yes, number 1667, Captain X. Drake of the Naval Headquarters, codename of the operation [Little Dinosaur], please verify." Drake smiled and replied in the same way.

"Verification completed," Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan responded, then asked, "Did something happen? Is there any progress regarding the pursuit of M. Caesar Courant?"

"I have the latest intelligence to report. I've been tracking M. Caesar Clown from the New World and have concluded that he's indeed hiding in the desert country of Alabasta. Headquarters' intelligence sources are reliable, and I initially suspect M. Caesar Clown has been in contact with Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. As originally planned, due to the extremely high threat level within Alabasta, I intend to conduct an integrated investigation to obtain follow-up intelligence. However..." At this point, Drake raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, and then said softly, "Thirteen minutes ago, I discovered something unexpected at the port."

While listening to the report from Den Den Mushi, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan quickly wrote it down in his notebook.

This is also one of his main jobs. Although he looks like a recorder and seems to be of low level, he is responsible for the confidential operations members of the Navy. Like Drake, he looks like an ordinary informant, but in fact, he is a colonel in the Navy Headquarters. Under Huoshaoshan, there are several major general-level intelligence personnel scattered around the world.

Therefore, although it looks low-level, the things it is actually responsible for are very high-level.

Almost two months have passed since Diarmait asked Huoshaoshan and his intelligence department to quickly investigate Caesar's whereabouts. Although Diarmait has been wandering around outside, Huoshaoshan dare not take these things lightly.

Hence the story of Drake tracking down Caesar.

After Huoshaoshan recorded all of this, he said, "Please report."

"The world's most vicious criminal. Leader of the Song Army. Monkey D. Dragon, at thirteen, no, it should be fifteen minutes now, fifteen minutes ago, he landed at the rapeseed port in Alabasta. Therefore, all previous judgments must be overturned and re-speculated. Suppose M. Caesar. Kulang arrived in Alabasta not to cooperate with Crocodile, but to wait for Dragon, leader of the Song Army? Although it is just a guess, Dragon's appearance at this time may not be a coincidence, right? I have a certain tendency to suspect that Dragon will have contact with M. Caesar. Kulang." Drake quickly analyzed and reported.

Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan was stunned for a moment. Dorag... As a veteran navy officer from the 1990s, Huoshaoshan naturally knew and had contact with this guy Dorag.

It's just that he hasn't had any information about this guy in a long time...

Because Dragon and the Navy Headquarters have a certain degree of collusion.
