"Are you Aizen Sosuke?"

"That's right." Aizen Sosuke walked in and was about to say something when Zephyr spoke first.

"I heard that you taught in your hometown?"

"It does happen."

"That's perfect." Zefa put his hands in front of him and said, "Come to my ship and be an assistant this time."

Chapter 90 Recognition from a Navy Captain

Chapter 13: Recognition from a Navy Captain

Become Zefa's assistant.

this is a good chance.

This is true in every sense of the word.

From a planning perspective, this would make it easier for him to interfere in the navy's personnel arrangements and develop some of them into his own subordinates.

From a personal perspective, it means that one day in the future he will be able to say, "I was a teacher once."

He was very satisfied with this arrangement.

As for whether there was any effect of the broken jade, he had no idea and didn't care much.

"Please give me your guidance in the future." Aizen Sosuke said with a smile as he looked at the admiral Zephyr in front of him.

"Our ship will leave in the morning two days later, just come directly to the port." Admiral Zephyr leaned back in his chair and looked at Aizen's expression carefully: "I'll wait for you."

"Thank you very much, is there anything else?"

"Oh, by the way, your rank has been promoted, and you are now a navy captain."

"?" Nothing changed but it was upgraded to a higher level.

"After all, you will be my assistant next. Lieutenant colonel is a bit low. Colonel is better." Zefa said with a smile: "That's it, you can go."

"I understand, General Zephyr." Aizen Sosuke saluted and turned to leave.

"Hmm" After Aizen left, Zephyr rested his chin on his hands and fell into deep thought.

Although it was his first time meeting the admiral, he did not feel restrained at all and looked very natural, but he also had the respect that other navy officers had for the admiral.

This made him feel very comfortable. He didn't want those navy men to be so restrained when facing him.

But things often backfire.

After all, he was an admiral of the navy and couldn't say anything about such things.

Besides that, the 'unknown' feeling he felt from Aizen became more and more obvious: "No matter what, there is a very dangerous feeling."

I just don't know whether this danger is to the pirates or the navy.

As for whether he is hiding his strength, it is unknown. The previous 'Doberman' was obviously too weak and was not worth testing at all. The only answer we can get is 'far stronger than Doberman'.

If you want to know more, you have to take your time.

The Navy reached a peak at this time.

Admiral Sengoku and Admiral Zephyr are both at their peak. Although Zephyr's physical strength has declined due to asthma, the decline is not much compared to the physical monsters in the One Piece world who fight for days and nights at any time.

Strength, speed and dominance are still at their peak.

Within the navy, the top three among the candidate admirals are all owners of natural devil fruits, which is a level higher than the other vice admirals.

And Zefa is still continuously providing excellent successors to the navy.

Naturally, there are also talented people who stand out in this session, and Smoker is one of the best.

However, he did not become complacent because of this. As a user of the Natural Smoke Fruit, it was natural for him to have such achievements. He had his own ideals and dreams!

There is a "justice" that will never be compromised.

That was why he joined the Navy, so he didn't relax even on a 'day off' like this.

However, despite this, his "standing out" is only in terms of strength. If we simply rank him by grades, he is in the lower middle level.

Apart from strength, everything else is inferior.

After all, he has always been lawless, and no one can control him except Zefa.

"I'm sweaty again. Tina is so disappointed."

At the training ground of the Marine Headquarters, Smoker, who was taking a break, looked up and saw his colleague Tina standing nearby, looking at other soldiers who were training in the distance.

"There's no way. The only thing that allows me to keep up with you is my strength." Smoker said casually.

"If you knew, then restrain yourself. If it weren't for Mr. Zephyr, you would have been kicked out of the navy long ago."

"There's no need to say such things. If I'm kicked out of the navy because of something like this, then I have nothing to say." Smoker took out a cigar, lit it, and put it to his lips: "What do you want from me?"

"Have you heard? Teacher Zefa has found an assistant."

"Ah? What does this have to do with me?" Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke: "And how did you know?"

"The warship is arranging the room where the assistant teacher will live. Of course, you will know about this matter if you know a little bit. You can find out who it is by paying attention to the next list." Tina continued: "You are also surprised, right? Originally, we were supposed to train and fight pirates at the same time. The warship has abundant supplies, and even if the supplies are insufficient, we can get supplies nearby."

"Huh" Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke without saying anything.

"So it's not hard to conclude that the reason we returned to the headquarters early this time was to pick up that assistant coach."

"who is it?"

"Ah, I didn't expect you to pay attention to this kind of thing. This is unexpected. Tina is very surprised."

"Forget about other things, but as an assistant teacher, there will naturally be many things that are unavoidable. It will be easier to get started if you know them in advance." Smoker said, glancing at Tina.

"It's convenient for me to do it. Hey, you're really inconsiderate to say such a thing." Tina smiled: "The name is Aizen Sosuke."

"Who?"

"I don't know." Tina said, "We are just students, and the list I can see is limited. I only know that he is a naval captain. Don't you think I have the ability to investigate a colonel? Tina was surprised."

"Colonel? I've never heard of that name before." Smoker stood up. He had almost rested. "Forget it. As long as he doesn't get in my way, it doesn't matter."

"Were you two talking about me just now?"

At this moment, a voice came, causing the two to turn around and see a man wearing glasses and smiling gently: "Hello, I am Aizen Sosuke."

"Yes! Colonel!"

"Is that Aizen Sosuke?"

"Ah, don't be so formal." Aizen Sosuke looked at the two and said, "You should be the students of this class."

"Do you know me?" Smoker asked Aizen Sosuke.

"Yes." Aizen nodded. "Although I have taught before, this is the first time I have taught navy soldiers. In order to avoid making a fool of myself, I specially asked for your information and did some research."

As he spoke, he put his hand to his mouth and lowered his voice, "Don't tell anyone else about this."

Tina and Smoker were both stunned for a moment, feeling that it was different from what they had imagined.

"So, I know a little bit about you two, Tina and Smoker, right?" Aizen said with a smile, "You are the best among this class, especially Smoker. I have heard about you."

Aizen looked at Smoker with admiration: "Your many acts of disobedience."

"It has nothing to do with you, or do you want to teach me a lesson?" Smoker said to Aizen.

"No, quite the opposite." Aizen said, "After learning this, I found that the navy can still be saved."

"What?" Smoker was stunned.

"Although the navy has various problems, as long as there are positive and motivated newcomers like you, the navy will have a future. The various ills of the navy will definitely change in this process." Aizen Sosuke said this while looking at Smoker.

Such words made Smoker, who had never been recognized, tremble in his heart!

Even colleagues like Tina often told him not to disobey orders from the higher-ups and to be more flexible, but now he actually got the approval of a naval captain.

Chapter 91 Impressed

Chapter 14 Conquer

"Colonel Aizen?"

"Don't be so formal, you can call me Aizen or Sosuke." Aizen smiled at Smoker: "What's the matter?"

"Can I compete with you?"

"Smoker--!" Tina opened her mouth quickly and was about to say something, but then she saw Smoker stretching out his hand to block her.

"Would you like to compete with me?"

"Yes, can I?"

"Of course no problem." Aizen Sosuke nodded and said with a smile, "Or rather, I had such a plan in mind." "Huh?" Smoker frowned.

Aizen looked at him and smiled, "I will be boarding Admiral Zephyr's ship later as an assistant, but I also hope that I can really help. In this case, it is crucial to understand your level."

"As one of the best students in this class, you are the most important person to understand your level." Aizen Sosuke said as he took a few steps forward: "So, it's great that you can help."

"Hmph, let's go this way then."

"Hey there—"

"what happened?"

"It looks like a fight is about to break out."

"Isn't that Smoker on the left? Who's that on the right?"

Soon, the two people standing opposite each other attracted the attention of other people around them.

Tina stood aside and frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed: "It should be intentional, Tina, it's really unexpected."

If it was Smoker challenging Navy Captain Aizen Sosuke, then it would undoubtedly be a matter of disrespecting superiors, which is neither a big deal nor a small one.

However, Aizen Sosuke turned it into a "competition to understand the strength of future students" through his words, and the nature of it suddenly changed.

Tina thought that this development was intentional by Aizen, and Smoker should have noticed it as well.

He is just reckless, not stupid.

"Can you use Haki?" Smoker said to Aizen who was standing opposite him. He was a natural devil fruit user. If he didn't know Haki, it would be almost impossible to defeat a natural devil fruit user. "If you can't use Haki, I can lend you this Jutsu."

"A little bit."

"Really? You're not going to draw your sword?" Smoker clenched the ten hands in his hand and looked at the long sword on Aizen's waist and asked.

"It's just a sparring match, there's no need to draw your swords."

"Okay! Then I'll go ahead--" Smoker didn't plan to say anything more: "White Fist!"

The white smoke carried his fist as he rushed towards Aizen, but the attack missed the target - this was understandable, as Smoker did not expect his attack to be useful.

But the people disappeared too!

"Is it the shave?" Smoker thought to himself, but he didn't even see the shave in action: "As expected of a colonel, your use of the shave is much better than those guys."

"Do not hesitate."

"——!" Smoker's body instantly turned into white smoke and scattered in all directions, because he suddenly heard Aizen's figure from behind him.

Sure enough, the next moment, he found that Aizen's figure had already appeared in front of him and was now behind him: "Aren't you going to attack?"

"That's not necessary." Aizen raised his head and looked at Smoker in mid-air and said with a smile: "My purpose is to understand your level. Well, show your strength to the fullest."

"Well--!"

Smoker's veins bulged, and a lot of smoke emanated from his body: "Let's see where you can hide now!"

"Smoke?" Looking at the surroundings under Smoker's control, not only the front, back, left, right, but also the top of his head was sealed with smoke, he said: "Interesting moves, he is indeed worthy of being General Zephyr's student."

Aizen Sosuke smiled and said, "From what you said, I think you know about Armament Haki, but it seems that you have never really encountered such an opponent."

"Ah?" Smoker did not deny it, and it was actually true.

He, including no one else in his class, has mastered Armament Haki. He just heard it from Admiral Zephyr because he is a natural-type Devil Fruit user.

After all, they are just trainees. Even if they arrest pirates, it is on the Grand Line. They will never encounter the owners of Armament Haki.

In fact, this was the first time that Smoker had fought directly against someone who knew how to use Haki, even if it was just a sparring match.
