Inspectorate Division

What should I do if a creepy guy keeps calling me "Big Brother"? Waiting online, urgent!

This was exactly how Yaen felt at the moment.

At this moment, it wasn't just Yaen, but even Fleet Admiral Sengoku was a bit dumbfounded.

Big Brother?

As the most outstanding newcomer in the Navy, why would Captain Kake call this brat Yaen "Big Brother"?

One had to know that Kake's personality was not easy to get along with. He had always been independent, thought of himself as unique, and could not tolerate others criticizing him in the slightest.

Except for Gion, whom he faced with equal strength and who had never shown him the slightest contempt, Kake rarely showed a good face to anyone else.

"Do you know each other?" Fleet Admiral Sengoku asked.

Before Yaen could speak, Kake spoke first. "No, but coincidentally, there's something I need to apologize to Big Brother Yaen for."

"Huh? Apologize?"

Yaen immediately felt if Kake had understood the principle that he would live longer than the old man, and that the young people were the future?

So he planned to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, betray the old man, and defect to him?

Immediately, Yaen glanced at Sengoku and said, "Captain Kake, please speak."

"Actually, this is not the first time I've seen Big Brother Yaen. I've seen Big Brother Yaen in this area occasionally during this period. However, I was too foolish at the time and thought that Big Brother Yaen, who often walked his bird in public, was the second-generation offspring of some World Government official."

"So, not only did I not step forward to introduce myself to Big Brother Yaen at the time, but I also cursed Big Brother Yaen several times in my heart. Thinking back now, it was truly too rude and ignorant. I beg Big Brother Yaen to forgive me."

Yaen.

What was he talking about? Walking his bird in public?

Fortunately, I didn't meet you a few days in advance, otherwise I would have lost a few more days of good mood.

If it weren't for the old man still sitting in front of him, Yaen, looking at Kake's tearful and lewd appearance, might have even made a move to beat Kake up.

"Cough cough..."

Yaen coughed lightly, interrupting the tearful Kake, and reminded him.

"Captain Kake, as qualified Navy personnel, you need to have your own independent judgment and will. You cannot be easily swayed by emotions, nor can your personal judgment be easily influenced by personal feelings. So even if you deliberately try to get closer to me, we are still one matter... and another."

In fact, what Yaen meant was that the "repayment" would still happen.

Even if he regretted calling him "Big Brother" now, it would be useless.

It was a shame that Yaen's metaphorical words to Sengoku were misinterpreted by Kake.

"I understand, thank you, big brother, for your guidance."

Kake wiped away a tear and said solemnly.

"In the past, I was sometimes too impulsive when I did things. Just like my appearance, many things cannot be judged solely by their appearance, yet I rashly jumped to conclusions. This is indeed my shortcoming."

Impulsive?

Yaen felt that his conversation with Kake was the hasty one.

If all the Marines were like this, how could they improve? No wonder they couldn't eradicate the pirates.

Finally, Yaen's mouth twitched slightly, and he replied calmly, "Heh."

On the side, Fleet Admiral Sengoku looked somewhat relieved, feeling that this kid Yaen was more approachable than he had imagined, having so quickly won over Captain Kake, whom he had just met.

"Even if you hit it off and want to exchange pleasantries, you can do so later."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku's expression turned serious. He took the promotion application file for Yaen back from Kake and then spoke.

"Gion, Kake, Yaen, the mission assigned to you by Marine Headquarters is to each go to the West, South, and North sea areas to supervise and inspect the Marines, ensuring the purity of the grassroots forces."

"This is also a newly established position by Marine Headquarters – the 'Inspectorate Division'. The first inspectors will be the three of you."

As soon as Fleet Admiral Sengoku finished speaking, Kake asked with some confusion. "Marshal, there are four sea areas: East, South, West, and North. Why are there only three Inspectorate Divisions?"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku shook his head and said.

"Because there is no need for the East Blue. Since Roger was executed in the East Blue, the pirate tide that erupted there has been the largest. Moreover, because the World Government is worried that someone inheriting Roger's evil will might appear in the East Blue, Vice Admiral Garp, the Hero of the Marines, will personally be stationed in the East Blue sea area in the coming years."

Instantly, Yaen realized why Marineford felt much calmer than he had imagined. He felt something was missing, and it turned out to be Vice Admiral Garp!

Whether it was Yaen, Gion, or Kake, they couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for the pirates in the East Blue at this moment.

What kind of existence was Vice Admiral Garp? An absolute powerhouse who punched the Pirate King and kicked the Golden Lion.

Having such a monstrous existence thrown into the East Blue was like using a nuclear bomb to cleanse the area.

What was originally a beginner-level difficulty for pirates, the East Blue, instantly became max difficulty, directly entering hell mode.

"There is indeed no need to set up an Inspectorate Division in the East Blue. With Vice Admiral Garp there, I doubt any pirate could leave the East Blue and enter the Grand Line," Kake smacked his lips and said. "And with the reputation of the Hero of the Marines suppressing them, no Marine would dare to do anything out of line."

"That's not necessarily true..."

Yaen, who had met Vice Admiral Garp several times, said confidently. "If you're lucky enough to catch Vice Admiral Garp slacking off or sleeping, there's still hope of entering the Grand Line."

"Alright, let's not talk about that bastard. The East Blue can be left to him," Fleet Admiral Sengoku interrupted Yaen's honest assessment and spoke directly.

"The newly established Inspectorate Division will be equipped with a medium-sized warship, one adjutant, and five hundred marines. You can discuss among yourselves which sea region to go to and take up your posts immediately."

Sengoku paused, his gaze sweeping over the three individuals before him, and he said earnestly.

"This will also be an excellent training opportunity for you. Perhaps compared to the Grand Line, there aren't many strong people in those sea regions, but that is where the true grassroots of the Marines lie."

"Yes!"

Gion, Kake, and Yaen snapped to attention and saluted in unison.

Subsequently, Fleet Admiral Sengoku handed them their appointment letters and delineated the scope of their duties in detail.

In essence, Marine Headquarters wanted to hang a Sword of Damocles over the heads of the Marines in the Four Seas, and they needed these three to act as eyes to supervise the actions of the Four Seas Marines for Marine Headquarters.

And just as Yaen and the other two were discussing which sea regions to go to, Yaen, who was usually passive, took the initiative to speak.

"The North Blue, leave it to me."

Hearing this, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's movements suddenly froze.
