What?! Are you already going to the internship or are you going to the New World with Admiral Sengoku?!" The loud scream of the girl named Gion almost deafened the surrounding students. Everyone envied Leonardo, who was able to go on an internship ahead of time and even enlist the support of Admiral Sengoku's students.
After receiving the notice of early graduation, Leonardo packed his things that same day and invited all his classmates to a farewell dinner. When Gion heard the news that he would be going to the New World with Sengoku, she could not contain her indignation.
But in the hearts of the other guys there was only envy. This was just an internship, and he was already going with an admiral, and to the New World! Although they say the New World is dangerous, they themselves have not been there and do not know how true it is. All they know is that there are many pirates there, and all of them are celebrities. If Leonardo works together with Admiral Sengoku, isn't it an easy path to promotion after the internship?
If he catches a few big pirates himself, he could be promoted straight to the rank of Rear Admiral when his official appointment comes.
This is a privilege that even the two seniors with Logia's strength didn't have. They were said to have only achieved the rank of Commodore after a long time of work. And as for Senior Dragon, Vice Admiral Garp's son, due to the influence of those two seniors, he only got small-time pirates during the first half of the journey. Even if he could qualify for the rank of Rear Admiral, it would be difficult. And Leonardo is going to the New World with Admiral Sengoku! If he survives, the rank of Rear Admiral is practically guaranteed.
"Hey, hey, don't overdo it," Leonardo spread his hands, looking at Gion's violent reaction. "You'll all go on an internship in three months, I'm just leaving early. And when Vice Admiral Garp returns in a month, Kuzan will also go ahead with him.
After these words, everyone looked at Kuzan, who was dozing in the corner. The fire of envy lit up their eyes.
These two are just unbearable: one hangs out with Admiral Sengoku, the other with the hero of the Marines. Is the Marines really where dreams begin?
– .... – Kuzan, not paying attention to the looks of those around him, stretched lazily. He didn't care who he worked with. The main thing was that he could calmly go anywhere. True, he heard that Garp had been chasing Roger all day. If he went with him, he would immediately get into a fight. Although, to be honest, he was a little worried.
It's been almost a year since he entered the Marine Academy. He studied hard, every night. He knows what the Roger Pirates are like, and he's not sure if Garp can protect him...
"But... this is the New World, a place where powerful pirates gather. You haven't graduated yet, it's too dangerous," Gion frowned with concern.
"If you're afraid of danger, go home and herd cows instead of being a Marine. Besides, I'm under Admiral Sengoku's protection. I'm just going with him for experience. Sengoku knows my father, would he let me run into Whitebeard?"
- And it's easier to get promoted in the New World. My father set me a goal - to become a vice admiral. I'm not going to die until I achieve it.
Leonardo was moved as he looked at Gion, who looked like a small angry tigress. This first kiss was not stolen in vain - besides his father and mother, someone else cared for him.
Not like Kuzan, that scoundrel who loves the new and forgets the old. He came to him to start a relationship, and this guy just sleeps here!
After supporting Gion, Leonardo couldn't help but glance at the half-asleep scoundrel lying on his side.
"The wind whistles, the water is cold, a strong warrior is leaving..." Kuzan, feeling the gaze, sad as that of an abandoned wife, sat down and solemnly quoted the poem he had read the previous night.
- Stop it! Poetry can't be used like that. You read the whole poem first! - Hearing the poem, Leonardo, whose Observation had almost awakened, quickly interrupted it, sensing an ominous aura.
Labor and capital are not gone yet, you will curse them so that they never return... (▼へ▼メ)
.....
"When you get to the New World, be sure to take care of yourself, be careful, and if anything happens, hide behind Admiral Sengoku. I called my sister yesterday, and she said she would say hello to Admiral Sengoku so he could take care of you..." Gion's voice sounded like the advice of a caring mother seeing her son off.
- Boom!
- And don't even think about flirting with the pirates in the New World! No, don't even look at them, or you'll die!
Early in the morning, at the gates of the Gion Academy, ignoring those around him, he continued to instruct Leonardo, like an old mother sending her son on a long journey.
Having finished her speech, while Leonardo was inattentive, she made a vile attack, and then issued a stern warning.
– ....-_-||
The classmates who came to see him off and the instructors who were almost swallowing their hiccups could hardly restrain themselves from attacking him. In less than a year, this guy had not only solved his life problems, but also found himself a powerful patron - Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru, a hero of the Marine Corps.
How is it that this scoundrel has such luck?
- Okay, okay, I'm going to chop down pirates, not travel. What girls are there? Let's go.
- Dear classmates, instructors, the mountains and rivers will meet us again, see you in the future! - Leonardo, noticing that the leaves on the sapling still did not react, ignoring the murderous looks around, licked his lips and waved his hand to the instructors and classmates, after which he turned around and left with dignity.
She ate garlic this morning, damn, the smell is so strong...
- -_-||... She has her own methods. If Tsuru sends his regards to Sengoku, he will definitely not be able to refuse... - Zephyr, who was watching from afar, heard the conversation with the help of his powerful intuition and looked at the sky helplessly.
His plan with Sengoku was to send little Curry and Borsalino to the front lines to fight big pirates and boost their motivation. Even if they got hurt, the main thing was that they didn't die. But now that Tsuru had relayed Gion's request to Sengoku to take care of Leonardo, the plan was getting more complicated. After all, Sengoku had been dreaming about Tsuru for years, so he couldn't possibly refuse...
