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

Maynard, as well as the passersby, were all staring at Su An with astonishment.

Even Zephyr looked completely taken aback.

The others were genuinely terrified by Su An's actions!

After all, those are the Five Elders!

They just hung up the call like that!?

Zefa, however, was completely stunned and surprised, because this kid really dared to do anything...

"Haha~~" Zefa looked at Daili, who was standing there in a daze with a tray in her hand, and laughed as he put the tray on the table.

His laughter abruptly broke the brief moment of shock around him.

But everyone in the store still looked at Lieutenant General Su An in disbelief as he hung up the call with the Five Elders, and the Five Elders had only said one word before hanging up.

Is it possible to do this?

Maynard felt his mouth was dry and his face was filled with panic.

Looking at Maynard, Zephyr said, "Just tell Sengoku everything that happened here."

Maynard kept licking his chapped lips, glancing at Zephyr, then at the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

Finally, he looked at Lieutenant General Su An.

To be fair, Maynard has great respect for Suan, and for no other reason than that!

He himself loathed the Seven Warlords of the Sea system. These mere pirates, by virtue of the World Government's permission, could be on par with the Marines, and even their past misdeeds could be wiped clean.

Is there any justice for those they have harmed?

But being a nobody, he didn't have much influence, so he didn't say anything until today when he read the newspaper and learned what happened at the Navy Headquarters yesterday. It turned out that Vice Admiral Su An had killed the Lizard King.

Moreover, the newspapers mentioned Su An's dissatisfaction with the Seven Warlords of the Sea. How could he not respect this strong man who shared the same ambition as him?

But the current situation...

Su An looked at Maynard's expression, gently pushed up his glasses, and said, "Well, if the Five Elders want to cause trouble, they'll cause trouble for me, so it's fine. Mr. Maynard, just inform Fleet Admiral Sengoku about what happened here."

After saying that, Su An added, "Besides, this isn't the first time I've treated them like this, so it's fine. At worst, I'll just get expelled."

Maynard was about to salute, but halfway through, he suddenly looked at Su An with a look of astonishment. Was this not the first time?

So, this means they treated the Five Elders the same way before?

and...

So what if I get fired?

Maynard pursed his lips and looked at Zephyr.

Zefa shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Go and do your thing."

Maynard nodded, but looking at Su An, he didn't know what to say, so he saluted and turned to leave in a hurry.

But Maynard was thinking, should he fire this vice admiral who was now a source of excitement for many in the Navy?

The Five Elders must be insane!

"No one dares to fire you," Zephyr said directly and truthfully. "Besides, Sengoku also discussed these things with the Five Elders yesterday."

As Zephyr said this, he recalled Sengoku's furious expression when he returned last night, because according to the Five Elders, "Is it necessary for a marine who doesn't obey our orders to remain in the Navy?"

Sengoku simply replied, "Traitor? Pirate, or revolutionary—call him whatever you want, but have you considered the cost of capturing him? Or do you think his strength is only at this level..."

Thinking this through, Zephyr continued, "And as I just said, the Five Elders won't give up on you. After all, given your age and strength, they will definitely recruit you. But how you choose is up to you."

"However, these matters are not suitable for me to discuss with you further, so I'll leave it at that. What I want to talk to you about is your appointment as the deputy base commander at G5 base. After all, your studies haven't yet reached the stage of joining the branch..."

Su An then looked at the strawberry cream cake on the table. "Teacher Zefa."

Zephyr looked at Su An and said irritably, "Don't tell me you don't talk about work on your day off. What I want to talk to you about doesn't involve your work! I just want to tell you that the place you're going to is a rather special naval branch, and about the base commander there, Vergo!"

Su An said, "I know that, but I suddenly realized something: is the salary of a deputy base commander higher than that of an ordinary lieutenant general?"

Zefa hesitated for a moment, then, seeing Su An about to eat a strawberry with a fork, he snatched the fork from the boy's hand and ate the strawberry himself!

"I'm talking to you about serious business!"

"But salary is more important!"

……

The so-called global conscription is a mechanism of the Navy Headquarters for promoting individuals without regard to precedent. In other words, when faced with someone who has sufficient combat power, they are directly appointed as a vice admiral or even an admiral.

The news that Su An, who was selected in this way and became a lieutenant general in the headquarters, would be going to the G5 branch to serve as the deputy base commander spread like wildfire.

G5 Branch, a place that traditional marines regard as a garbage branch, with some even describing it as "more like a gathering place for pirates and bandits than a navy branch".

Although the G5 branch's marines are very strong, their reputation is extremely bad because of their bad behavior, and they are despised by many marines.

but...

That Lieutenant General Su An was actually sent to such a garbage place!

This has aroused outrage among many people.

After all, Lieutenant General Su An has been fighting against Teacher Zefa ever since that day!

The actions taken now, along with the sensationalism in the reports, have stirred up a strange sense of patriotism in many young marines, and even some captains.

After all, in this great pirate era, although their Marine Headquarters has never been cowardly, it has been a long time since such a gratifying thing has happened!

Especially since it was a young marine who did the killing, not to mention that this marine was a strongman recruited from around the world, whose goal was to defeat the Four Emperors!

This is incredibly inspiring.

As a result, this person is going to that garbage place, the G5 branch.

And there are rumors...

General Sakazuki even had a fight with Fleet Admiral Sengoku over this matter, because Fleet Admiral Sakazuki wanted Lieutenant General Suan to be his adjutant...

But for these...

Su An was unaware of this.

On the morning he returned to work, he took a boat to the G5 base.

Early in the morning, those who saw him off included Zephyr, Ian, and a group of instructors, as well as Peacock, Lark, and others.

Although they had only spent a few days together, Peacock and the others confidently declared that they would graduate soon and then come to the New World to find him!

Su An nodded and then said goodbye to everyone.

And then, ten days later...

Su An saw the G5 base.

That naval fortress was arguably the only one that penetrated deep into the New World, which was...

The Fifth Branch of the Navy Grand Line, facing off against the strongest pirates.
