T Bone sniffed and asked, "Is this really the right thing to do to help you?"
Leiyin nodded in agreement.
T Bone said, “Alright. I'll do my best, I promise.”
……….
After going through a series of ups and downs during the journey, the ship finally arrived at its final destination, the Naval Headquarters at Marineford.
As soon as Leiyin arrived at the port, she felt an overwhelming majesty and majesty.
He saw a large fortress (the original one was destroyed by the Battle of Marineford many years later). On the wall are two large words, "MARINE", written by Admiral of the Naval Fleet, Sengoku the Buddha.
Marineford is an island with a large military fort and a large city where the family of marines live.
There is also a lot of heavy artillery and a lot of naval ships on the island.
Above the fort are offices and meeting rooms for Fleet Admiral, Admiral, and Vice Admiral. In addition, there are trees, plants, flowers, and grass rooms.
Around the fort there are four large towering columns with four seagull flags, a symbol of the sea.
After finally setting foot in Marineford, T Bone headed straight for Vice Admiral Garp with Leiyin.
When he found GARP, GARP wore a dog mask, with tea and snacks next to it.
He was sunbathing in the courtyard of his residence, looking very relaxed. T Bone saluted the sea, "Lieutenant T Bone and Petty Officer Leiyin are here to report to Vice Admiral!"
GARP took off his dog head mask and looked at them with a smile, “Oh, you guys finally came.”
Leiyin looked at them blankly and said, “Why rush? I don't see anything serious at all.”.
T Bone hits Leiyin with his hand, “Hey, this is Vice Admiral Garp, so be polite.”.
“No problem,” interrupted Garp before T Bone finished his sentence, “That's how this kid is. I'm used to it when we meet in Kota Kerang.”
GARP is a really relaxed guy.
Later, T Bone tells Garp the truth about Leiyin having captured Diamante alive.
Garp got up from his chair in an instant, "Now, where is Diamante?"
T Bone said, “He was handcuffed with a Sea Stone Cuff and is still in jail on the ship, waiting for you to be thrown away. Leiyin wants me to take credit for this. However, I think it is not appropriate, so I came to consult with you...”.
"Just do it!" Unexpectedly, GARP instantly agreed, “Say that you are the one who captured Diamante alive.”
Hearing that from the GARP, T Bone did not push the matter any further. T Bone then said, “So, what should we do with him now?”
"You go down first and give him straight to Fleet Admiral."
“As ordered!” T Bone saluted and went straight down.
After T Bone left, Garp came over and patted Leiyin on the shoulder, “I didn't expect the two of us would get along. Nor did I realize that you, Son, are a humble person, hahaha. ”
Leiyin spread out her hands, “Well, I just want to train quietly for a while. I don't want to be bothered by too many external factors.”
Garp said, “Yes, the matter of capturing someone from the Donquixote Pirates, who was also a high-ranking officer, would definitely cause a small shock in the world. If people knew it was the work of a 16-year-old Petty Officer, it would definitely attract the attention of the world. At that time, you may not have a peaceful life.”
“By the way, where do you plan to put me? Do you want me to go to war with an ordinary soldier? Or do you just want to make me an officer to lead the unit? ” Lei Yin asked.
GARP laughs, “Not really.”
“With your current age and the strength you have, a formal navy is no match for you. As you said, you still need to practice a little more, so I've thought about it. I have to put you in [Marine Academy].”
"Marine Academy ?!"
GARP smiled wickedly, “Ya, when you get there; you have to work hard. If you behave well, I'll introduce you to Hina, the flower at Marine Academy, to be your girlfriend, how about that?
Huh huh?
Leiyin was very frustrated, "Old man, I know that you are the Vice Admiral in the Navy, but can't you be a little serious at your age?"
"Ha ha ha…."
However, speaking of this Hina, she seemed to be very familiar. Leiyin silently thought.
Right, come to think of it. This person was a superhuman with the Ori Ori no Mi Devil Fruit ability, known as [Black Cage] Hina. Years later, he would become Captain at the Naval Headquarters.
Later, he would be promoted as Rear Admiral at the Naval Headquarters. She is true beauty. Unexpectedly, Hina was now also in the Marine Academy.
Suddenly, Leiyin thought of something else, and she asked Garp, "Old man, am I still in the Marine Academy as a Petty Officer?"
GARP brandished a finger, "You are too strong to be in the cradle of a future naval officer with such a low rank."
"Thank you?" Lei Yin asked.
"Well, I'll promote your ranking."
"What?" Leiyin looked at Garp with a hopeful look.
Garp solemnly said, "I will officially announce that Petty Officer Leiyin will be joining the Marine Academy as Chief Petty Officer."
Leiyin depressed, “Hah? How can I still be Chief Petty Officer after all this time? Are you kidding me, old man? ”
"I'm not kidding. The sea order is like a mountain, and you will report immediately to the Marine Academy tomorrow without fail. ”
"Okay .. okay ..." Leiyin.
As expected of the GARP, he was still a cute and childish old man.
Actually, Leiyin did not mind the rank of a marine. Even if he called himself an Admiral now, what was the point?
If he had no power, even if he were to become a Fleet Admiral directly, he would still be controlled by others, and it would be useless.
Before Leiyin asked GARP, Leiyin had a bad feeling that GARP, the old man, did indeed like to play around and gave him a low rating.
In fact, GARP does this with good intentions. He understood that Leiyin was so powerful that he had surpassed the strength of the Captain or even the Commodore. So he did it, first, to keep Leiyin away from the limelight.
He wanted Leiyin to keep a low profile and secretly increase her strength. When he suddenly broke apart someday, he would be at the top of the sea. Second, he did not want her to get too carried away.
Leiyin is only 16 years old. After all, he was still young and energetic. It's not always a good idea not to have a storm.
If he were to give away the Captain or even the Commodore, he could easily become a Vice Admiral or even an Admiral in the future.
Despite Garp's usual carelessness, he was actually a genius. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been Vice Admiral for many years.
“By the way, son, all the trainees in the Marine Academy have their own dormitories. Your house is only about a kilometer away from where I live. That's what I specifically left for you, so you'll be staying there from now on. ”
Perhaps in GARP's heart, he already regarded Leiyin as his granddaughter.
