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

Retirement and pension...

Such a thing is not something that marines can only dream of.

After all, many marines choose to retire and do other things after they are injured, realize that their abilities have stopped progressing, or have a wife and children.

Marines who made great contributions were assigned to the relatively weaker Four Seas. Many of the vice admirals, due to old age and old injuries, had their strength greatly declined and went to the Four Seas to retire to the second line as base commanders.

The problem is...

Vice Admiral Su An just managed to kill one of the Four Emperors and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, among other great pirates.

So you're already thinking about retirement?

But the next moment...

Everyone looked at the crane.

However, He crossed his arms and remained completely unfazed, as if he were already used to Su An's behavior. He simply said, "Go do your work and set up the general's tent properly."

Upon hearing this, the female marines immediately saluted.

The crane headed straight toward where Su An was.

Su An was squatting down looking at the tree, pondering whether it was a good idea to put it in the yard.

However, when he turned around, he saw the crane walking towards him and immediately stood up.

"Grandma Crane," Su An said, looking at the crane.

The crane smiled and nodded.

But a so-called wise general is someone who is extremely intelligent, so he looked at Su An and said very frankly: "I know it's the weekend and you're not working, so I won't talk to you about work. I just have some things to tell you. As for the specifics, we'll decide on Monday. I'll be staying here for a few days too."

Su An nodded and said, "Then shall we go into the tent? I can't leave you without getting a glass of water or something..."

The crane looked at the drawing Su An had made on the ground, then glanced at the tree: "Are you happy here?"

Su An paused for a moment, then adjusted her glasses and answered without hesitation, "Very satisfied!"

Although Su An hadn't spoken much with Granny He, he had heard Peacock mention this lieutenant general before, saying that although he seemed strict, he was actually a very gentle old man towards his subordinates and younger generations.

Tsuru smiled gently: "That's good. It was Sengoku and I who suggested you go to the G5 branch. We felt you were a good fit for it. After all, your personality wouldn't be accepted elsewhere, but if you went to Garp's place, that old man would definitely dump everything on you. Although this place has a bad reputation, it's also a unique place in the Navy because of that."

"As things stand, it was the right decision to send you here. After all, some vice admirals or rear admirals have come here before, but they were all killed by pirates. Now it seems that Vergo was the reason."

After saying that, Tsuru glanced at the ground under the tree, "And I also want to thank you for Peacock's matter. That child's strength far surpasses that of her peers because of her own abilities and the Devil Fruit, and she is somewhat arrogant, but because of you, she has changed a lot. However... what did you say to her in the letter? She seems to be very angry after reading your letter."

Upon hearing this, Su An replied, "She said she would catch up with me. I told her you're too weak and I'm too strong. You can't catch up with me. It would be better to have someone else chasing you."

He looked at Su An, somewhat helpless.

Listen to what you're saying!

But then, not only did He's face soften again, but he also burst out laughing. "No wonder that child got so angry when he mentioned you. But it's up to you young people to do what you want."

As she spoke, the crane looked at the tree in front of her and asked, "Are you going to put it in the yard?"

Su An raised his hand, pulled the tree out, and laid it flat on the ground. "It doesn't look good, so I'm not putting it back."

He understood Su An's meaning and sat down on the tree without any hesitation. He then said, "You're already thinking about retirement at such a young age. What are we old folks supposed to do? If Zhan Guo finds out, he'll probably scold you again."

However, after saying that, He continued, "I'm getting old, so I'll stop rambling. Now let's talk about something serious. It's not really work, just letting you know, so don't be offended."

As she spoke, Tsuru pulled an envelope from her bosom: "Sengoku asked me to give this to you. Inside are the candidates he thinks can serve as your second-in-command. Nowadays, pirates have started to move on the high seas. Recently, even the Golden Lion, who has been missing for a long time, has made a move. So, even though you are here at G5, you are all alone."

Tsuru continued, "However, you should choose your own adjutant, and the marines here in G5 also need to be replenished. It would be better if you chose these yourself."

Su An nodded. He had already contacted Professor Zefa about the adjutant's matter via Den Den Mushi.

Looking at the crane, Su An asked, "As for recruiting lieutenants or marines, do I have absolute authority? For example, even if he isn't a marine, can I still recruit him as my lieutenant...?"

He nodded: "Yes, but it's impossible to be appointed as a general or colonel immediately upon entering the military. The global recruitment system doesn't apply to everyone."

As Tsuru felt the sea breeze on her face, she continued, "If you have someone in mind, you can tell Sengoku directly. But this isn't something to rush. Choosing a lieutenant doesn't necessarily mean they have to be strong enough, so just decide for yourself. However... Sengoku asked me to tell you that he's very grateful to you about Vergo."

As she said this, Crane added, "It's not a business matter. Vergo's matter involves some of his own private affairs, and from his position, he can't thank you directly. That old stubborn man has his own principles."

Su An glanced at some townspeople walking towards them from not far away.

He obviously didn't intend to wait for Su An's response, since there was nothing to respond to. So he continued, "The last thing is also official business, but I should tell you out of both courtesy and reason. The toxins in those children's bodies have been removed by Begabank. They said it was some kind of drug that would make the body grow to a gigantic size, but the side effect was that it would make the children go crazy."

"Furthermore, Begabank said that the toxin is currently very mild, so it is easy to eliminate. If it had continued to develop, those children would have been much more difficult to treat. Fortunately, the children are alright now."

As she spoke, Tsuru glanced at the villagers: "The children's parents have been notified one by one, and those children will be sent back. As for why Caesar conducted this experiment, it's probably to turn ordinary humans into Titans. Many people have researched the creation of Titans, but now only Big Mom is so obsessed with it."

"That woman is probably going to fight the Whitebeard Pirates now..."

At this point, Tsuru couldn't help but smile: "I'll explain these things to you in detail after you start work on Monday. This includes the movements of the other Shichibukai, Gecko Moria. But... that thing about your get off work hours and such, I saw what you wrote at the bottom, are you planning to apply to Sengoku for that?"

Upon hearing this, Su An's expression turned serious: "Well, after all, this is part of the work I've done since becoming the base commander, so it's only natural that I should report it, but bringing this up..."

Su An looked at He: "Grandma He, our vacation... that is, annual leave and such, is based on a number of days. Although I meant that the annual leave is twenty days, I have looked up some travel information. The closest hot spring island to here, and that place that is great for tourism called Punk Hazard, just the journey takes more than ten days. How can that be considered a vacation? But if it is arranged to be thirty or forty days, I think Mr. Sengoku will be very angry."

Upon hearing this...

He just stared at Su An. How should I put it? This kid... has even bigger problems than Garp!

But Crane calmly said, "Even if you don't write this, if you give your current one to Sengoku, he'll be so angry he'll take a whole bottle of stomach medicine. So just write whatever you want."

At this point, He saw that the townspeople had already arrived, some carrying food, and a few who looked like craftsmen. So He told Su An to go over and not to pay attention to him.

Su An knew that the townspeople had come to find him, so he bowed to the crane and then turned to walk towards where the townspeople were.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the townspeople, He couldn't help but smile gently.

But it was at this moment that the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang.

"What's wrong? I just arrived at the G5 branch."

After the call connected, Crane spoke immediately.

Sengoku, speaking from the Den Den Mushi, said, "Doflamingo has run away with his men."

Upon hearing this...

Crane's expression froze for a moment, but then he frowned and said, "I had thought about it before. After all, Tenyasha is not a reckless man. How could he not run away when facing Su An and our navy?"

Zhan Guo spoke up: "How's Su An doing...?"

He glanced at Su An solemnly refusing the townspeople's kindness, and then at the young couple who smiled with tears in their eyes as they thanked Su An. He said softly, "Very good."

But after saying that, He added, "There's no need to worry about the child's condition. He's doing better than we thought. But you, you'd better keep some stomach medicine with you."

The Den Den Mushi paused, startled. "Huh?"

After thinking for a moment, He smiled and said, "It seems he's considering taking a vacation."

Sengoku period: "Huh?!"
