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

Snapped!

Just as Su An finished speaking, the call was abruptly disconnected.

It was clearly Sengoku on the other end of the Den Den Mushi who hung up the phone.

"..."

The marines from the G5 base around them looked at the Den Den Mushi one by one, then at Suan, their expressions complicated.

Upon witnessing Lieutenant General Su An hang up on Marshal Zhan Guo, everyone gasped inwardly.

But right now...

Well, how should I put it?

They knew that their lieutenant general was strange in some ways, but they still witnessed him behaving like this with the Sengoku marshal.

Especially when I see...

Marshal Zhanguo also hung up the phone with his lieutenant general.

What's this called?!

It's one thing for our navy to have talk of pay raises...

And the Warring States Marshal... that extremely dignified Warring States Marshal, how come he's like a little kid!

However, Pique and the others on the other side looked helpless.

Because let alone the Warring States Marshal, they had personally witnessed Su An hang up on the call with the Five Elders!

But the next moment, everyone heard Su An mutter to himself, "Can't you just tell me how much the raise is?"

What do you mean I won't tell you? It's obvious you're angry!

The marines looked at Su An and roared inwardly.

However, Su An didn't care about those things. After putting away the Den Den Mushi, he glanced at the lunch that the chef had brought up.

The marines surrounding him still looked at Su An with astonishment.

However, some people subconsciously saw the newspaper on the table and immediately thought of the important events at hand. They learned from Lieutenant General Su An that Kaido had died.

Then a marine immediately said, "Brother Su An, the way you were acting just now, it seemed like you knew some of the inside story?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding marines immediately realized that they were on serious business, and each of them looked at Su An with expectant eyes.

Su An swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at everyone: "Yes, I know."

"Do you know how Kaido died?" A marine immediately leaned forward towards Su An, eager to ask.

The marines around him also followed suit, crowding around Su An and staring intently at him.

Piqué and the others kept Sengoku's instructions in mind, but seeing Su An's current state, they were extremely anxious and shook their heads and waved their hands vigorously at Su An.

But Su An simply ignored them.

Su An didn't seem to care about that. Eating her bread, she casually said, "Being..."

"what!"

Just as Su An was about to speak, Pike, who was unable to squeeze into the crowd, suddenly let out a strange cry.

Everyone instinctively turned to look.

Then they saw Pique fall to the ground, and when Bomba next to him saw everyone looking at him, he immediately grabbed his own neck and screamed "Ahhh!"

Although the Marines at G5 base look fierce and don't seem like good people, they're not stupid either.

It's obvious that he's faking it.

Su An was puzzled when he suddenly sensed something and looked down.

While everyone's attention was drawn, Bakzo somehow managed to slip under the table where Su An was sitting.

And he was holding a piece of paper with something written on it...

"Boss, we can't tell anyone! For your safety, we can't tell anyone about this! We're assigned to protect you!"

"I already told you you were deceived by Marshal Zhan Guo. You're so weak, what are you going to do to protect me..." Su An said bluntly, looking at the contents of the paper.

Bakzo felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, realizing that Su An had seen the contents of the paper...

So he crumpled the paper into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth.

Su An saved their lives; after all, if he hadn't killed Kaido, they would have been finished long ago.

Therefore, we must repay them no matter what!

and...

As Bakzo lowered his head and crawled behind him, he thought of how Boss Suan treated the townspeople.

Especially when they asked, "These children are confirmed dead in the shipwreck, so why are you still searching?"

Su An, the leader, said, "Since there's no evidence to prove they're dead, it's necessary to continue the search."

Both morally and logically, they must protect Su An, their leader!

Although...

Bakzo couldn't understand...

How are these useless bastards supposed to protect Suan, who could easily kill Kaido?

Even though these days, when their leader told them that they had been fooled by the Warring States Marshal, they didn't care!

Perhaps seeing Bakzo crawl out, Pique and the others immediately stood up from the ground.

The surrounding marines scoffed at the sight.

These people!

After spitting out a few curses, everyone turned to look at Su An.

One of the marines asked, "Boss Suan, do you know how Kaido died, and who did it?"

Su An pushed up his glasses, but noticed out of the corner of his eye that Piqué and the others were looking at him. After taking a sip of water, he said, "He was just killed in a very ordinary way, and it's not as serious as you guys think. If you have to put it in perspective, you could say that Kaido got in the way, so he died."

When Piqué and the others heard Su An speak, they were initially worried, but their expressions froze upon hearing his words.

Then, subconsciously, he pursed his lips.

Again!

How come this person has no idea just how terrifying it is that he killed Kaido?!

The other G5 base marines around him blinked and looked at Su An when they heard this.

I didn't understand!

What do you mean by killing Kaido in a very ordinary way?

And what's this about Kaido being in the way, so he died...?

That's Kaido, you know.

Kaido of the Beasts!

One of the Emperors of the Sea? You're being too casual with that!

However, while everyone was puzzled, seeing Su An eating calmly, they realized that this was always how he spoke.

So immediately, a marine asked, "Do you know who did this? Is the marine with Kaido in the photo Vice Admiral Garp? Or an Admiral?"

The more he talked, the more excited the marine became.

After all, for the Navy, Kaido's death is nothing to grieve over; instead, it should be a time for celebration and cheering, as well as reverence for the Navy officers who carried out the attack!

Su An looked up and saw Pike and the others shaking their heads vigorously, but then looked at the sincere-looking marines and said, "Because they were interfering with my work, I killed them."

"..."

Quiet~~~

Pique and the others gaped in astonishment!

Is this how they admit it?

The other marines around him were watching Su An.

Given their temperaments, they wanted to beat up Su An.

But considering that they can't win.

Endure it!

But in their hearts, they were already cursing each other.

What do you mean by "interfering with your work"? You just beat him to death!

That's Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!

I know you're powerful, but can you really kill someone by yourself?!

And how old are you? Is that even possible?!

The marines were a bit overwhelmed. They thought they could get something out of Su An, but what kind of answer was this?

This is just a complete joke on them!

"Boss Su An, how can you joke about this! We're very serious right now!" a marine said earnestly.

The people around nodded in agreement.

Pique and the others were puzzled, blinking and looking at the group with blank expressions.

What are these idiots saying?

Another marine chimed in, "That's right! Boss Su An, we're really serious about this, how could you lie to us! If you really can't tell us, just tell us!"

Su An drank her water and blinked. "Hmm?"

A marine spoke up: "So you don't know who killed Kaido, right..."

Su An put down her water glass, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "So I already said it was me..."

"Don't joke around! We know you're amazing, but how could it be you!" a marine immediately retorted.

The marines nearby nodded in agreement.

Su An: "..."

Speechless, Su An finished his bread and looked up at everyone: "I can understand that you don't believe me, but you're making such a fuss over the death of a pirate. You're just too weak. So tomorrow, those of you who don't need to go on missions will run five hundred laps around the base."

"?"

The marines present all stared wide-eyed.

It sounds like they have so much to say!

There are just too many reasons why they want to ask Su An for something!

But it was precisely when some of them began to protest...

"I thought you were here..."

A familiar voice came from behind.

Everyone looked up.

Lieutenant General Vergo had somehow appeared outside the crowd.

Upon seeing the takoyaki (octopus ball) stuck to Lieutenant General Vergo's cheek, everyone knew what he had eaten.

"You're back so soon? How's your sister's health...?" A marine immediately looked at Vergo and asked.

Vergo still had a warm smile on his face: "I was not long after I set off when they told me that I was feeling better, and after what happened, I needed to come back."

As he finished speaking, Vergo glanced at the newspaper on the table.

The marines immediately burst into laughter upon hearing this.

But when they saw Su An, their faces turned bitter, and they looked at Vergo with pleading expressions.

Vergo laughed and said, "Instead of spending time talking about these things, we should train more, since we have a lot to do next."

After speaking, Vergo looked at Su An: "Su An, would you like to talk to me alone?"

Vergo added, "It's not part of the job, it's just something very important."

Su An nodded, not saying much, because he also had something to discuss with Vergo. However, when he returned, he heard from the people at the base that Vergo had left to visit his sister because he was worried about her condition.

All the marines watched as the two vice admirals left, their faces bitter.

Someone watching Su An's retreating figure said, "It must be because Vice Admiral Su An wasn't sent on this mission to take down Kaido, so he's holding a grudge and is taking it out on us now! And he just said something about it being him!"

Those around them, upon hearing this, inexplicably felt that what he said made sense.

But the sailor who said this looked aggrieved and said, "But Boss Su An isn't that kind of person! Why does he insist on making us run laps?! Just because we don't believe him when he talks nonsense?! He's petty!"

"Yeah, and he said he killed Kaido, how could we possibly believe that? He's obviously lying to us! And five hundred laps... that's practically killing us!?"

Immediately, cries of agony rang out.

Pique and the others looked at the crowd in front of them.

They glanced at each other.

Those eyes seemed to say, "Are these idiots really our allies?"

……

We walked out of the canteen with Vergo and onto the base's perimeter wall.

The sea breeze is blowing.

The sea was calm.

Looking at the peaceful scene before him, Vergo turned to Su An and smiled, "This peaceful life probably won't last much longer."

After saying that, Vergo smiled and looked at Su An: "I was shocked when I heard the news of Kaido's death... no, rather than me, I think everyone in the world who heard the news is shocked."

Su An looked at Vergo without saying anything, because he could tell that Vergo hadn't finished speaking.

Vergo frowned, then looked at Su An with a serious expression. "You were there when we were attacking Kaido... right?"

Suan looked at Vergo, but was about to answer.

Vergo continued, "I've been a marine for decades, and I understand some of the rules. The fact that headquarters didn't notify me this time means there's a reason they can't tell me. So if you're not comfortable answering, you don't need to tell me anything."

"The reason I asked this is because without Kaido, the pirates in the New World will definitely make big moves, and I am very worried about the civilians we protect."

As he finished speaking, Vergo's expression grew increasingly serious and sorrowful; anyone could see that he was genuinely worried about the civilians.

And his gaze drifted to the small town not far from the branch.

Su An turned to look at the town and said, "The important details were told not to be revealed, but if you ask me again whether I was there or not, well, I was there. And I was quite close to Kaido."

Vergo clenched his fist, then immediately said, "Is he completely dead? Because Kaido has 'died' many times. If he's not really dead, things will get even more complicated, and we two must start arranging our forces and protecting the civilians."

Thinking of Kaido's appearance, Su An nodded: "Yes, he's really dead."

After saying that, seeing the nervous look on Vergo's face, Su An continued, "Mr. Vergo, you don't need to worry. Even if you think you can't beat them, I'm here."

Vergo: "..."

Hearing Su An's words, Vergo felt somewhat ashamed.

But this strange person was always like this, so Vergo didn't think much of it, especially since he didn't have any extra time to think about it now!

What he needs to know now is...

Is Kaido really dead?

God knows what his expression was like when he saw this news on his way to meet the young master.

Especially the liaison headquarters.

And those he knew at headquarters remained silent about it!

After calming down, he immediately analyzed with the young master that Kaido died on his way to the G5 base, and Su An happened to be out there.

then...

He was just about to come back and give it a try.

Whether Kaido is truly dead or not is extremely important to the young master's ambitions!

There can be absolutely no mistakes!

Just now in the cafeteria, after hearing what Su An said, he immediately realized that Su An knew about this!

Of course, he didn't believe Su An's nonsense about killing Kaido!

That's why we have these questions now.

And right now...

We got the answer!

But that's Kaido!

He's not someone you can just kill casually.

We must not draw any conclusions before we are 100% certain about this matter.

Therefore, upon hearing Su An's words, Vergo immediately showed a shocked expression: "He's really dead... I never expected that sea emperor..."

But then Vergo quickly added, "I'm sorry, but it's understandable that I'm surprised, since it was Kaido who died."

Su An said, "Don't worry about it. I'm used to you guys making these kinds of faces when a pirate dies."

Vergo smiled to hide his helplessness at Su An's words.

But Vergo wasn't one of the Marines from G5 base, so he immediately became serious: "If he really dies, then I have to request support from headquarters. After all, nobody knows what those pirates might do, and... I think there might be a mole within the branch involved."

But after saying that, Vergo sighed, "Even so, we've made absolutely no progress on that mole."

Su An looked at Vergo: "Mr. Vergo, did you think Kaido would come to the G5 base? Was it a mole who told him I was here?"

Vergo nodded: "Yes, otherwise I can't think of why he would come here directly. And since you killed his men before, it's only natural that he would seek revenge on you."

However, after saying that, Vergo gave a bitter smile: "But let's leave this topic here, since it involves work, and I know you value your rest time, so this is taking up your rest time."

Su An said, "No, it doesn't matter. Besides, I happen to have some work-related questions to ask you, Mr. Vergo..."

After saying that, Su An asked directly, "Regarding those missing children, I saw Mr. Vergo conclude that they encountered a shipwreck, but I haven't found any concrete evidence. Do you have any evidence?"
