I just want to find a job, and then become a Navy Admiral.

Regarding the cancellation of the assessment.

The naval academy cadets, who were returning to port, were not surprised at all.

After what happened, it would be inappropriate to continue the assessment.

In particular, the two people who died were both pirates with great backgrounds, and they were involved with two of the three major powers on the Grand Line, which were on par with the Marine Headquarters.

Even if it involves just one of them, the newspapers would be filled with headlines about it.

not to mention...

Just thinking about Su An's appearance that day, all the students inexplicably blurted out the word "monster"!

A complete monster!

That kind of monster is one that no matter how hard they chase it, they will never be able to see its back!

Especially since this monster is working so hard!

After several days at sea, the warship, which had only set sail a short time ago, had already returned to port.

For the past few days, Su An has been doing things like squats on the deck every day.

Not only did the academy students follow suit, but many marines also watched Su An do the same training.

Although they didn't know if doing so would have any effect.

But if Su An does this every day, then there must be a reason for it!

Just follow the instructions!

Zefa did not interfere much in this matter; on the contrary, he was very supportive.

Even flying squirrels started doing it too.

Su An didn't mind, after all, in his opinion, this kind of exercise was good for the body, and it was a good thing for everyone to follow his lead.

And right now...

Looking at Marineford, or more precisely, at the several vice admirals of Marineford standing on the harbor.

Among them are four giant lieutenant generals and more than a dozen major generals from headquarters.

The trainees on the deck all subconsciously looked at Su An.

but...

Looking at this familiar scene, Su An turned to Peacock beside him: "The assessment has been changed to this method? Am I going to fight those lieutenant generals and major generals? Am I alone, or is everyone working together...?"

It's no wonder Su An thinks that way, after all, he encountered a similar scene when he first arrived at Marineford.

Su An was especially preoccupied with the school exams, which Zefa had previously mentioned would be temporarily cancelled and replaced with other assessments.

Upon hearing what Su An said...

Although the peacock was very intelligent, she was looking at Su An with a strange expression.

Not to mention Lark and Gross beside him.

after all...

What Su An said was terrifying!

What does it mean to "beat up these lieutenant generals"...?

These are all Vice Admirals from the Navy Headquarters!

Even though the strength levels of vice admirals vary, when did the idea that a vice admiral at the Navy Headquarters could fight a whole group by himself come to be?

If it were anyone else, Gross would definitely have said something.

But when he looked at Su An, Gross fell silent.

The main issue was that the horrifying images from that day kept replaying in my mind.

And I know that Su An can do it!

Seeing that Peacock and the others remained silent, Su An looked at Zefa, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Teacher Zefa, although I don't care about the assessment, since it's part of my job, but today..."

Yun Que whispered from the side, "Su An, the lieutenant generals are there to greet you."

Su An looked at Yun Que with a puzzled expression.

Sweat beaded on the flying squirrel's forehead as he explained, "It's a tradition that marines who achieve significant military merit are greeted at the port by the officers of headquarters."

After saying that, the flying squirrel added, "Regardless of the identities of the two pirates you killed, the fact that you saved so many cadets is a significant military achievement. There should have been many more people here to welcome you, but since this matter cannot be announced to the public yet, only those who know the inside story have come. But today, the newspapers should have already been notified..."

Although that's what they said, I still thought about what Su An had said about one person taking on lieutenant generals.

Well...

Having served as a vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters for so long, this is truly the first time I've heard such words from a young man in his early twenties.

But then the flying squirrel remembered the kid's strength and rubbed his forehead. He really could do it!

Su An couldn't help but look at the lieutenant generals on the port.

Zefa placed his hand on Su An's shoulder and said softly, "There's no need to feel pressured. This is an honor you deserve. After you disembark, you don't need to do anything. Just come with me to Sengoku's office."

Su An paused for a moment, then took out his pocket watch and glanced at it.

But Zefa said directly, "I've already checked the time, it's eleven o'clock now, there's still a long time before your rest time, so don't say anything like you need to take a nap."

Su An looked at Zefa.

Zefa continued, "And when I went to Sengoku, it was also about your military achievements. Although Sengoku didn't tell me, it should be that you... well, in your words, got promoted."

Upon hearing this, Su An pondered for a moment and then said, "If that's the case, then I'll have to go."

Hearing this, Zefa looked at Su An and said, "You're still forcing yourself to go?"

The warships are getting closer and closer to the port.

Meanwhile, the lieutenant generals on the port stood in unison on both sides, staring intently at Su An on the deck.

Marines working odd jobs at the port, as well as ordinary people living in Marineford, all watched this scene with curiosity.

I don't know what the lieutenant generals and major generals are doing...

What important person are we welcoming?

But looking out to sea, all you see are the naval academy's warships.

Another assessment or something?

Therefore, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the lieutenant generals with curiosity, but no one dared to go up and ask a few questions.

So I stood a little further away and waited to see what kind of excitement it would be.

The warship docked.

When Su An finally reached the port...

The lieutenant generals and major generals stood in two rows, leaving a passageway in the middle. No one spoke; they just stared at Su An.

Burning Mountain, Ghost Spider, Steeles...

Each and every one of them was a lieutenant general from headquarters whose name was well-known!

The flying squirrel also stood among these lieutenant generals, watching and laughing at Su An.

Under the sea breeze, everyone's cloaks, each bearing the word "justice," rustled in the wind!

suddenly!

Thump~~~

Suddenly, a bell rang out in the square, as if it were ringing specifically to welcome Su An.

In just a moment, the atmosphere at the port changed drastically.

"Let's go."

As Zefa watched this scene, and then looked at Su An, a sense of pride inexplicably arose within him.

Su An looked at the lieutenant generals and major generals, returned their salutes solemnly, and then followed Zefa toward the headquarters building.

The lieutenant generals and major generals just watched Su An.

Then I looked at the old man with the prosthetic leg.

The shock that had been felt when they first heard the news was gone from everyone's eyes as they looked at Su An. Now, all they felt was respect for a powerful person and gratitude.

Because of Su An...

May their teacher, Zephyr, never experience what happened before!

Even if those two people might not be able to defeat Teacher Zefa, Su An's intervention completely prevented all bad things from happening!

Both of these factors combined make Su An worthy of their respect, not to mention...

Soon he will be a marine who can stand on equal footing with them!

The bells still toll.

Meanwhile, the marines who had been wondering what was going on here widened their eyes as they looked at Mr. Zephyr, who was being welcomed by the vice admirals and rear admirals, and Su An.

You look at me, I look at you...

"Isn't this the highest honor bestowed upon us?"

"Of course, but why?"

"How would I know! Did Mr. Zephyr do something?"

……

The marines whispered amongst themselves, completely baffled by the scene unfolding before them. After all, something big must have happened.

I've never heard of that!

"Professor Zefa." Su An adjusted his glasses and looked at Zefa.

Zefa smiled and looked at Su An: "What's wrong?"

Looking into Su An's eyes, Zefa couldn't help but wonder if the kid had been affected by what had just happened.

After all, when he returned after his first great achievement and was welcomed like this, he was incredibly excited.

Su An said, "Could you please give me my travel allowance? After all, they welcomed me so warmly, I should give them something in return, but I didn't..."

Snapped!

Zefa grabbed Su An's shoulder and said through gritted teeth, "Go ask Sengoku yourself!"

After saying that, he strode towards the headquarters building.

You heartless brat!
