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

Although the G5 base was just as dilapidated as the outside, Su An was surprised to find that it was very different from the East China Sea branch and headquarters he had seen before.

Here, training equipment can be seen everywhere, and many marines are constantly polishing and maintaining their weapons and guns.

As Su An passed by, some marines who were engaged in combat training or practicing the Six Styles all looked at them with curiosity.

A sergeant from G5 base explained, "Because we're always on missions, everyone's very disciplined in training to capture and kill as many pirates as possible."

Su An simply pushed up his glasses without saying a word.

Even Kibin, who looked down on the G5 Marines, still acknowledged their combat strength.

This is probably what is meant by "fierce land produces fierce army".

Vergo's office was on the top floor of the building. When Su An arrived at his office, Vice Admiral Vergo, the commander of the G5 branch base and head of the Navy Headquarters, was obviously already waiting for him.

Upon seeing Su An, Vergo stepped forward with a smile and said, "Welcome, welcome. I've already heard about you in the newspapers and from Marshal Sengoku. I look forward to your continued support."

There's no need for introductions; we already know who the other person is.

So Su An extended his hand to shake hands with Vergo and said, "I also hope that you will take good care of me, Mr. Vergo. Moreover, I need to ask you about the matter of Haki."

As he spoke, Suan noticed the steak stains on Vergo's cheek.

However, Su An didn't say anything, since Zefa had already told Su An about Vergo before he came.

This Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters may appear debonair and always kind, but he is ruthless and powerful when dealing with pirates, especially in his mastery of Armament Haki.

However, he also has some quirky personality traits, such as always having leftover food stuck to his cheeks and being rather forgetful.

Vergo smiled warmly: "Marshal Sengoku has already given me instructions, but it's a bit unexpected that the man who defeated Hanafuda and that Jack doesn't possess Haki. But don't worry, feel free to ask me anything."

After saying that, Vergo looked at Kibin beside him.

Kibin had only come to say hello, so after bowing, he didn't linger and turned to leave after bowing to Su An.

In the huge office, only Su An and Vergo remained.

Vergo smiled and gestured for Su An to sit on the sofa, then said, "I saw what happened downstairs just now. I'm somewhat sorry that you had to witness such an unpleasant scene on your first day in office."

As he spoke, Vergo brought tea to Su An and then sat down on the sofa directly opposite him: "However, although some of us in G5 are rough and not very bright, and as you saw today, we always manage to cause some minor trouble."

"However, after spending more time with them, you'll find that they're not as bad as the rumors suggest. They're just some quirky but adorable subordinates. So please be more tolerant of them for now."

Su An adjusted his glasses and said, "I think it's good that you obediently followed the boss to admit your mistakes after causing trouble. As for how you treated the pirates, I don't think they did anything wrong."

Vergo laughed and said, "It's great that you understand. I was actually worried that you would be influenced by the rumors and misunderstand those guys."

At this point, Vergo took a sip of tea, glanced at the clock hanging in his office, and said, "I heard Marshal Zhan Guo mention that you, Su An, are very punctual. It's almost midnight, and we still have a lot to talk about. Should we wait until you come to work this afternoon?"

As Vergo spoke, he recalled what Sengoku had mentioned to him about Suan's get off work schedule and such, and he found it strange as well.

But Vergo didn't think anything of it.

There are many oddballs in the Navy, and in Vergo's opinion, one more or less of Dosuan would be just as good.

Su An looked at Vergo with some surprise. After all, he had been in the Navy for quite a while, and this was the first time he had met someone who seemed to understand his punctuality in leaving and arriving at get off work.

Su An thought that Vergo, his future colleague, was a pretty good person.

However, while thinking this, Su An said, "There's still plenty of time, so there's no need to worry about that. Besides, I have a lot to discuss with you, Mr. Vergo. I might have to disturb your lunch break later to ask you about Observation Haki. On the way here, following what Teacher Zephyr and Mr. Garp taught me, I've managed to grasp a little bit of it, and I can vaguely 'hear' some images."

Vergo laughed and said, "Of course, but since you've put it that way, I'll get straight to the point: there might be a mole within our base."

Su An looked at Vergo without saying anything, but remembered what the marine had just said about "the patrol route being known by pirates, who were still lying in ambush there".

After a moment of contemplation, Vergo said with a serious expression, "Just a few days ago, one of our branch's warships went out to sea on patrol and was attacked by a pirate crew—the same pirate you just saw them interrogating. Although we captured some pirates, we also lost some men. I believe this is the beginning of Kaido's revenge. After all, the A-party pirate crew is one of the many pirate crews under the command of the Four Emperors, Kaido."

Vergo's expression grew even more serious after mentioning Kaido's nickname, and he said, "If this is the beginning of Kaido's revenge against our Navy, then what we will face next may not just be small-time pirates like the Jiafang Pirates."

"Although during my call with Fleet Admiral Sengoku, he told me a lot about your encounter with Hanafuda and Jack, since we are on the front lines against pirates, he authorized me to ask you about the whole process so that we can determine whether it is true. This information will help us find the mole within the base."

At this point, Vergo looked directly at Suan: "I hope you can tell me some details, such as whether Hanafuda and Jack revealed any information when you fought them."

Su An said, "Because it was time to get off work, I killed them with two punches. They only let out a strange scream before they all died."

Su An wasn't surprised that Vergo would ask about it. On the way here, Sengoku had told Su An that there was nothing he needed to hide from Vergo.

only...

Upon hearing this...

Even though Vergo was wearing sunglasses and his eyes couldn't be seen, his expression changed to one of confusion. "Hmm?"

After thinking for a moment, Su An said again, "Yes, he just died suddenly."

Vergo: "..."
