It wasn't that he didn't know a rear admiral had joined forces with an admiral to defeat Kaido, but he didn't know the details of something on that level.
Here in the Four Seas, without a special intelligence network, they could only learn about what was happening in the world through newspapers.
Besides, even if he knew the rear admiral who had defeated Kaido was named Patino Yun Ye, he would have assumed it was merely someone with the same name...
After all, how long had Yun Ye been in the Navy? How could he have leaped from a Navy recruit to someone capable of defeating one of the Four Emperors?
Who would believe something that absurd?
Yet at this moment, looking at Yun Ye's appearance and the rear admiral insignia on his shoulders, he seemed to have thought of a possibility...
"Y-You... are Patino Yun Ye, the one who defeated Kaido?" Yala sharply sucked in a breath, feeling that everything before him was unreal.
Yun Ye corrected him, "I joined forces with an admiral. But if you mean that incident, then yes, it was me."
Yun Ye merely smiled, not finding it particularly surprising.
He even felt strangely as though he had returned home in glory...
What a strange feeling.
"You can follow Colonel Yala to the branch base and rest. You don't need to follow me anymore." Yun Ye spoke to the subordinates who had accompanied him, then looked at Yala. "Colonel Yala, I'll return to the village first."
Yala was still shocked, but he calmed himself and said, "Y-Yes, Officer Yun Ye."
"There's no need to be so formal, Colonel Yala. Just call me by my name."
"Alright, Rear Admiral Yun Ye." Yala did not call him officer, but he still did not dare address Yun Ye
