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

[April 11th, 1517 (Haiyuan Calendar)]

On the way to Marine Headquarters, this uncle named Garp was a nice guy, but he was a weirdo. What kind of person could suddenly fall asleep while eating? It was amazing!

Today I crossed the Red Line and learned that pirates need to pass through Mount Levi to cross this continent and reach the Grand Line. Their ships will drift up the mountain with the current. This world is more fantastical than I imagined.

On this red earth continent, there live nobles called the Celestial Dragons, but when Mr. Garp mentioned them, he used the word "trash" to describe them, which frightened the others.

After learning about the courses at the academy, I found that they mainly teach things to make people stronger. Mr. Garp mentioned the Six Powers of the Navy and Haki, and also mentioned a strange fruit called "Devil Fruit".

This fruit grants the user various superpowers, but also removes the ability to swim. Even so, many people still scramble to eat it.

[April 28th, 1517 (Haiyuan Calendar)]

Because there were no stops or rest stops along the way, we were about to reach the Navy Headquarters.

……

Early in the morning, just as the sun was rising above the horizon, Su An had already gotten up and picked up a mop to clean the naval warship.

As a naval ensign, Su An no longer needed to do the cleaning or other tasks that trainee or ordinary marines were required to do.

When he picked up the mop to start cleaning on his first day, he startled the sailors on the warship, who rushed forward to tell Su An to go and rest.

After all, they already knew that Su An was already a lieutenant in the Navy Headquarters, even though he had not been officially awarded a rank. Not to mention, they had seen the battle that day very clearly.

He could fight Vice Admiral Garp.

How could we let someone whose future achievement would at least be a lieutenant general do such a thing?

But Su An looked at them and said, "I'm still a trainee marine, this is what I should do," and then continued cleaning.

Everyone fell silent.

In the end, Vice Admiral Garp stepped in and said that they could do whatever they wanted, and only then did the marines disperse.

Having spent so much time together at sea, the marines discovered that this monster named Suan, though seemingly cold, was surprisingly easy to get along with.

Except for the occasional infuriating things he says!

Therefore, when the marines who had already gotten up and started preparing saw Su An, they all saluted, but they were already used to Su An taking a mop and starting to mop the floor.

Just as Su An arrived at the forward deck of the warship, Karp was standing in front of the railing, holding today's newspaper in his hand.

What surprised Su An even more about this world was the newspaper incident.

Every day, an albatross, nicknamed the "newspaper bird," delivers the day's newspaper.

But since there are so many strange things in this world, Su An didn't think about it too much.

Karp looked at the newspaper with unusual seriousness.

Su An did not disturb him, but instead kept her head down and quietly mopped the floor.

However, Su An seemed to sense it, and when he looked up at Garp, he saw that Garp was looking at him.

Their eyes met.

No one speaks.

But immediately...

Karp strode up to Su An, raised his fist, and slammed it down on Su An's head.

Su An did not dodge, but simply let Karp's fist hit his head.

After spending so much time together, Su An had come to know that although the old man was very kind, he liked to use his fists to prove his care.

Moreover, if he dodges, the old man will keep chasing him and hitting him until he hits him, which is very troublesome, so Su An has stopped dodging.

"When you see an old man grieving all alone, ask him something!" Karp shouted at Su An after throwing a punch.

Even though Su An had taken a punch, he was unharmed. He simply adjusted his glasses and asked bluntly, "Why should I ask about your private matters..."

Upon hearing this, Garp clenched his fists again, looking displeased.

But the next moment, the old man plopped down on the deck steps, his brow furrowed: "These young people nowadays, one after another..."

At this point, Garp paused for a moment, then looked at Su An: "But if that guy is like you, I'd be relieved! Even though you can be annoying sometimes, at least you've come to be a Marine obediently."

As he spoke, he wore an angry expression again: "If only we could find that kid, that bastard just disappeared somewhere... Now he's become a force to be reckoned with, it's too late."

Su An remained calm, the sea breeze blowing the newspaper that Garp had thrown to the ground.

When Su An looked down, he saw a news article titled "Fire Fist Ace defeats the commander of the 71st Marine Base," and after a few more pages were blown by the sea breeze, he saw a wanted poster with the name Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the Spade Pirates, on it.

Garp continued muttering to himself, "Especially that kid Luffy, if he sees this newspaper..."

At this point, Karp rubbed his forehead, looking pained, but his gaze fell on Su An, who was tidying up the newspapers.

But Su An continued cleaning expressionlessly, which made the naval hero frown again: "What are you trying to comfort me for! Can't you see how heartbroken this old man is? And with your intelligence, you must have figured something out!"

Su An looked at Kapu and sighed inwardly; what a difficult old man to please.

But she still slowly said, "I think everyone walks their own path. As long as you don't regret it, it doesn't matter what kind of path you take."

But after saying that, Su An looked at the neatly arranged newspaper in his hand, especially the wanted poster, and looked up at Garp: "But Mr. Garp, if I encounter this person in the future, and he is doing something very bad, I will take action directly."

Karp's expression froze for a moment, then he frowned as he looked at Su An: "Whatever. He's gone down this path, so what happens to him afterward doesn't matter!"

But after saying that, Garp clenched his fist again, looking annoyed.

But the next moment, he stood up abruptly, his face serious: "Whatever, it doesn't matter!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Su An: "I'm fine now, but you, kid, I contacted Zefa last night. Although he already knows some things about you, because I recommended you as a 'special admission student,' he said you have a very special welcoming ceremony as an assessment, so you'd better be prepared."

Su An countered with, "Special admissions student?"

Karp looked at the bow of the ship: "Well, you'll know the specifics when you arrive, but for now, you'd better start preparing. That old man Zephyr has been strict with students these past few years, especially since the academy hasn't had any special admissions for many years."

At this point, Garp gestured for Suan to look ahead: "After you go through, you'll see Marine Headquarters Marineford."

Su An turned his head, his black pupils remaining calm, even as he faced a massive gate located at sea.

The gate slowly opened, and seawater carried the warship through it.
