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

Upon hearing Su An's words, Sengoku on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was puzzled: "...treatment?"

Even Hu De, who was standing to the side, looked at Su An with a puzzled expression.

Su An looked at the Den Den Mushi and asked bluntly, "It's about salary and benefits. I'm not sure if you'll still pay me after I become a student at the Naval Academy. I don't have much money right now, and if you stop paying me when I go to headquarters, I won't be able to support myself. These are the real problems I'll be facing, and I hope you can understand."

Hu De, Sengoku: "..."

I don't know what to say.

The Den Den Mushi displayed a speechless expression on the Sengoku side.

"Hahahaha!" But then, Sengoku's loud laughter rang out, and he looked at the Den Den Mushi: "You're quite an interesting brat, aren't you, Sengoku!"

Garp has a loud voice, especially since there is no other loud noise in the base except for the sounds of seagulls and the sea breeze.

So immediately, all the marines around who were paying attention to this place heard the name Sengoku.

One by one, they put down their work and looked stunned.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku!

Grand Admiral Sengoku, commander of the navy!

That recruit, who's incredibly strong like a monster, is talking to Fleet Admiral Sengoku?!

"Your salary will be paid normally during your time at the Naval Academy, and..." Sengoku said from the Den Den Mushi, "Although it wasn't decided in a meeting, given that you single-handedly destroyed and eliminated the Krieg Pirates, it's enough for you to be promoted to the rank of Ensign, and you'll be an Ensign under the Navy Headquarters. Once you arrive at the Navy Headquarters, you'll be officially commissioned. For now, you're still a Navy trainee marine."

Hu De looked bitter upon hearing this, but didn't say anything. Even though he was reluctant to let such a great treasure leave, a man of Su An's strength should have gone out of the East China Sea to the front line to fight against pirates.

Su An remained expressionless, pushing up his glasses with a finger, and spoke as if to himself: "I remember the salary of marines at headquarters is twice that of marines in the East China Sea, and I've become a second lieutenant, so my salary will be even higher. Furthermore, after training, I should be able to get a promotion, which will increase my salary even more, and..."

Hearing Su An's words, Vice Admiral Hu De was stunned. Well, there were many highly individualistic people in the navy, especially those who were all eccentric—in other words, there were many oddballs, but...

This kid is the first one like him ever!

Listening to this kid rambling on about salary, buying a house, and retirement, Hood covered his forehead and couldn't help but complain, "What exactly was your purpose in joining the Navy, kid...?"

Su An made no attempt to hide it: "To have a stable job."

Hu De pursed his lips.

Garp had already walked over, grinning.

However, Sengoku asked a question that was unusual for him: "If it's just about money, it's easier to make money as a pirate or a pirate hunter, right?"

Su An's expression faltered for a moment. "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I don't want to be a bad guy, even if I'm poor. As for pirate hunters, although I've heard of that profession before, I don't want to be starving and wander the world searching for pirates. So, being a marine is a very stable job, which is my best choice."

After saying that, Su An took out his pocket watch and glanced at it: "I've been forced to work overtime for sixteen minutes. I'm off work now. I'll be going to headquarters with Lieutenant General Garp afterwards."

After saying this, Su An saluted Garp, Hood, and Den Den Mushi, then turned and ran towards Andrew.

"You've found me another weirdo!" Sengoku said helplessly from the Den Den Mushi.

Garp smirked as he watched Suan pick up the broken boulders with one hand and help tidy up the mess. "But he's a good kid, Sengoku! If it weren't for him, I would have smashed this base to pieces. In his own words, if he had dodged my punch, many people in this base would have been injured."

"How dare you say that!" Sengoku roared immediately upon hearing this!

Hood also glared fiercely at Karp.

On the contrary, Garp grinned widely, scratching the back of his head, looking quite embarrassed.

But Hood also looked at Suan, who was bowing and apologizing to the wounded marines: "The Krieg Pirate Ship, except for Krieg himself, was completely wiped out! That kid killed them all by himself."

"Decisive against pirates, yet protective of his own people..." Sengoku murmured on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, but the next moment, the Mushi's expression suddenly turned serious: "Have you assessed their strength?"

Karp smirked, looking at Su An over there: "Monster."

……

"To the Naval Academy at headquarters?" Andrew looked at Su An with a bewildered expression, holding a pile of pebbles in his arms.

Su An didn't seem to care at all. "Yeah, I'll probably be leaving soon. It'll be earlier than I expected, but if I want a promotion and a raise, going to headquarters is only natural. After all, it's me."

Su An continued to help move the rubble with his head down.

Upon hearing this, Andrew curled his lip, really wanting to punch Su An!

Because this is spoken in human language!

That's a trip to headquarters!

Becoming a Marine at headquarters is something every Marine in the world dreams of!

but...

Andrew stared blankly at Su An, thinking about how this person had just appeared in the village, and how out of so many people in the village, only he and Su An were chosen, and the scene of the village chief and many others seeing them off when they left.

Can...

They were supposed to be together, but Su An is going to headquarters now...

And he was still a trainee marine.

Andrew clenched his fists, his pupils trembling slightly as he looked at Su An.

"Andrew?" Su An looked at Andrew, his face still expressionless.

Andrew's expression froze for a moment, but he immediately lowered his head: "It's nothing..."

Available in the next moment!

Andrew suddenly looked at Su An, clenching his fist: "I...I will also try my best to go to headquarters!"

Su An looked up at Andrew. "Hmm?"

Andrew declared confidently, "I will definitely catch up with you! We come from the same village, and I will never allow you to be the only one secretly improving. Even if I am not as strong as you, I will never let you leave me behind!"

Su An blinked and then pushed up her glasses. "Andrew, I don't like boys. And don't you feel awkward about this all of a sudden?"

Andrew's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked around, only to find that all the marines around him were staring at him.

Swish it!

Andrew blushed completely, then looked at Su An and said, "Shut up! I wasn't confessing my feelings to you!"

Having said that, he turned around and continued moving stones.

Su An, however, watched Andrew's retreating figure and said, "Hmm."

Upon hearing the reply, Andrew paused for a moment, then looked at Su An with a resolute expression.

Su An continued, "However, I roughly know what level of strength is needed to go to headquarters. I think it will be quite difficult for you, Andrew, since you are quite weak right now."

Andrew immediately turned around: "Shut up! You sarcastic, narcissistic bespectacled man!"
