Tsuru and Kuzan's Relationship!

Vice Admiral Tsuru's words made Sakazuki, Borsalino, Dragon take this young man even more seriously. The reason for using "even more" is that his three-meter-tall stature alone was enough to command respect.

This isn't about height discrimination; it's simply that in this world, being tall indicates that a person has an extraordinary physique.

Behind Vice Admiral Tsuru stood a man dressed in a black coat with a purple shirt and a purple headscarf with a white seagull logo. He exuded a cheerful aura, and his eyes seemed to burn with fire. He was clearly a spirited and energetic young man.

Especially his small, round green sunglasses made Borsalino subconsciously touch the round sunglasses on his own nose.

"Hello, my name is Kuzan. I'm very happy to meet you all. Please take care of me in the future!" This curly-haired young man, who called himself Kuzan, stepped forward in a very familiar manner, introduced himself with a smile, and subconsciously extended his right hand.

He hesitated for a moment as soon as he reached out his hand, because there were four people in front of him. He was annoyed that he had made a pointless move. Just then, Vidal took Kuzan's right hand and eased his embarrassment.

"Hello, my name is Vidal. I really like your enthusiasm. Please take good care of my Bullet when we get to the Special Training Camp next year!"

"Thanks!"

Kuzan was overjoyed, gripping Vidal's hand tightly and smiling broadly, "I've often heard and seen your name in the South Blue. I truly hope that one day I can become an excellent naval officer like you!"

Vidal is twenty-two years old this year, soon to be twenty-three, four years older than Kuzan. In addition, he is a graduate of the first Special Training Camp, a current Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, and has a distinguished military record. Therefore, the latter's use of the honorific "you" is quite fitting, and Vice Admiral Tsuru and others did not find it strange.

Vidal himself was a little unaccustomed to the current Kuzan, who was too enthusiastic and cheerful. When he first met him, he thought he was as lazy and not very talkative as he would later become.

But now that I think about it, Kuzan is currently driven by a burning sense of justice, which is why the Devil Fruit abilities of the people present are somewhat contradictory to their personalities.

"Kuzan is a top-tier Logia user, just like the three of you. You young people should know that yourselves. I'll be leaving now." The still-charming Vice Admiral Vice Admiral Tsuru smiled gently, then turned and left decisively.

This made Vidal, who was about to correct himself and thought he seemed to be Special Paramecia, shut his mouth.

"Oh well, I don't even know what type of fruit the Woods-Woods Fruit is, so let's not worry about it. I'll understand when Awakening." Vidal sighed inwardly.

This is also because the previous users of the Mori-Mori Devil Fruit User Awakening their powers, so he had to figure out the answer himself.

"Come, let's sit down and talk. You're also Logia?" Vidal didn't bother to bring over a chair. He gestured for the others to sit down and casually conjured a wooden chair for Kuzan.

"So this is the power of the Woods-Woods Fruit, senior Vidal? It's so convenient!" Kuzan sat on the wooden chair, tried it out, and found nothing uncomfortable, so he gave it a thumbs up.

Vidal didn't say much when he heard him address him as "senior." It was only natural; why did he have to try to appear friendly by establishing a seniority?

"I am Logia Ice-Ice Fruit user." Seeing that everyone was curious about his ability, Kuzan didn't keep them in suspense. He raised his right hand and activated his ability while explaining it to them.

As the right arm, clad in a black coat, melted into ice, a chilling aura swept over him, making Vidal somewhat uncomfortable. After all, it was difficult for a person in a vegetative state to enjoy the cold, so he leaned slightly closer to Borsalino beside him.

"The Navy has gained another rising star," Dragon thought to himself as he watched this scene.

With three top-tier Logia Fruits, plus a Woods-Woods Fruit that's unclear whether it's a top-tier Logia or a top-tier Special Paramecia, and Bullet's Mythical Zoan, it's clear that the Navy's future power will reach an unprecedented peak, a level rarely seen in centuries.

Meanwhile, upon seeing Kuzan's Ice-Ice Fruit ability, Sakazuki's feelings were somewhat complicated. After all, a top-tier fire-type and a top-tier ice-type—they seemed like adversaries no matter how you looked at it.

Borsalino merely exclaimed in surprise, and once the novelty wore off, he continued eating with a wry smile, but his ears were listening to the conversation of the others.

"My name is Sakazuki, I come from the North Blue, and I am a Logia Magma-Magma Devil Fruit User. It's not appropriate for me to demonstrate here." Sakazuki is murderous when facing pirates, but he's fine with his colleagues, just with a more serious expression.

However, if you desert or disrupt the morale of the army, that's a different story.

"He's from the North Blue too, Borsalino." Sakazuki pointed to his fellow countryman. Borsalino put down his knife and fork, swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and raised his hand to greet Kuzan.

"Logia Glint-Glint Fruit, Borsalino, hello~" At the same time, he imitated Kuzan's earlier move, turning his arm into a glowing light, and everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to it.

Hello, hello!

Kuzan repeatedly, gazing in amazement at the glowing golden arm. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still quite excited to be facing so many Logia like himself.

Because of Lieutenant Vice Admiral Tsuru, he now also considers Vidal to be Logia.

"Dragon, but I'm not a Devil Fruit user." Dragon extended his hand and shook hands with Kuzan, but the latter wasn't disappointed at all, laughing excitedly, "I've heard Vice Admiral Tsuru mention you, the son of the Marine hero Vice Admiral Garp!"

"Um."

Dragon simply nodded; he was used to being called that.

In the following time, Vidal and his three companions learned about the relationship between Kuzan and Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Kuzan was originally from the South Blue. He lost both his parents at a young age and also picked up his father's drinking habit, so he made a living by stealing things from his hometown island.

One day, he met Vice Admiral Tsuru, who had come to the island with his warship for repairs. The latter took pity on him and adopted him, providing him with food, clothing, shelter, and even physical exercise.

This directly led to Kuzan having an innate affinity for the Navy, and from a young age he wanted to be like Tsuru, a righteous Navy officer who could protect civilians.

About a year ago, he was already Captain in the 36th Division of the South Blue. He accidentally found a Devil Fruit on the island that was entirely white but had light blue stripes, which is the Ice-Ice Fruit that he now possesses.

After becoming a top-tier Logia Devil Fruit User and gaining a basic understanding of his abilities, he immediately called Tsuru to tell her about it. Tsuru, without hesitation, wanted to bring him to headquarters and into the second Zephyr Training Camp.

Kuzan refused, feeling he hadn't mastered the Ice-Ice Fruit's power enough. So he spent a year training at Marine Base in the South Blue, occasionally going out with warships to gain practical experience from various pirate crews.

A few days ago, he felt that he was ready, so he called He again, thinking about entering the third Zephyr Training Camp and officially embarking on his path of pursuing justice!
