Marineford, Navy Headquarters

T Bone asked when he heard this, "Is doing this really helping you?"

Leiyin nodded affirmatively.

T Bone: "Alright, doing a hundred good deeds a day, I promise."

After a series of disturbances during the voyage, the warship finally arrived at its final destination—Marineford, Navy Headquarters.

As soon as they reached the port, they felt a majestic aura coming towards them. What came into view was a huge fortress (the main fortress that was destroyed in the Summit War many years later in the original story), with the two large characters "Navy" written on it. These two characters were written by Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha of the Navy Headquarters.

Marineford is an island with a huge military fortress, a large town where military families live, countless heavy artillery pieces, and many Navy warships. Above the fortress are the offices and conference rooms of the Fleet Admiral, Admirals, and Vice Admirals, as well as trees, flowers, and lawn space.

Around the fortress are four huge high platform outposts, each with a flag of a seagull, which is the symbol of the Navy.

Finally stepping onto Marineford, T Bone took Leiyin directly to find Vice Admiral Garp.

When they found Garp, he was wearing a dog-head mask, with tea and snacks placed beside him, sunbathing in his yard, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

When T Bone saw Garp, he respectfully gave a Navy salute: "Captain T Bone brings Private Third Class Leiyin to report to the Vice Admiral!"

Garp took off his dog-head mask and looked at them with a smile: "Oh, you've finally arrived. You really made this old man anxious."

Leiyin had a head full of black lines: "Anxious? I didn't see that at all..."

T Bone touched Leiyin with his hand: "Hey, this is Vice Admiral Garp, be polite when you speak..."

"It's alright," Garp interrupted him before T Bone could finish, "This kid is like this, this old man is used to it in Shelz Town."

Garp is really an easygoing person.

Afterwards, T Bone truthfully told Garp about Leiyin capturing Diamante alive.

Garp stood up from his chair all of a sudden: "Where is Diamante now?"

T Bone said, "He's shackled with Seastone and still being held on the warship, waiting for your disposal. Leiyin's intention is to give this credit... to me. I don't think it's appropriate, so I'm here to ask for your instructions..."

"Just do it!" Unexpectedly, Garp agreed immediately, "Just say you captured Diamante alive."

Hearing Garp say this, T Bone didn't decline any further.

T Bone continued, "Then, what should we do with him now?"

Garp said, "You go down first and hand him over to Fleet Admiral Sengoku directly."

"Yes, sir!" T Bone saluted and went down directly.

After T Bone left, Garp came over and patted Leiyin on the shoulder: "I didn't expect that we both thought of the same thing. I didn't see that you're such a low-key guy, hahaha..."

Leiyin spread out his hands: "Well, I just want to cultivate quietly for a while and don't want to be troubled by too many external factors."

Garp: "Yeah, capturing a member of the Donquixote Family, and a top executive at that, will definitely cause a small shock in the world. If others know that this was done by a 16-year-old Private Third Class, it will definitely attract the world's attention. At that time, you may not have a peaceful day."

"By the way, where do you plan to arrange me? To charge into battle with ordinary soldiers? Or directly give me a military rank to command the troops?" Leiyin asked.

Garp smiled: "Neither."

Huh?

"With your current age and strength, the formal Navy is not suitable for you yet. You also said that you want to cultivate yourself further, so after thinking about it, this old man should arrange you in the Training Camp."

"Training Camp?!"

Then, Garp smiled evilly: "That's right, you kid should work hard there. If you perform well, how about I introduce Hina, the belle of the Training Camp, to be your girlfriend?"

Huh?!

Leiyin was full of depression: "Old man, not to mention that you are a Navy Vice Admiral, can you be a little serious when you're so old?!"

"Ahahaha..."

However, speaking of this Hina, she sounds familiar. Leiyin thought to himself. That's right, I remember now, this guy is the Cage-Cage Fruit ability user of the Paramecia type, known as Black Cage Hina. Many years later, she became a Captain at Marineford, and later a Rear Admiral, a veritable beauty. I didn't expect Hina to be in the Training Camp now.

Suddenly, Leiyin thought of something again, and he asked Garp, "Old man, will I still enter the Training Camp as a Private Third Class now?"

Garp held up one finger: "You are so strong, of course I won't let you enter the cradle of future Navy officers with such a low rank."

"Is that so?" Leiyin said.

"Yes, I plan to promote your rank."

"What?" Leiyin looked at Garp with some expectant eyes.

Garp said solemnly: "Now I officially announce that Private Third Class Leiyin will join the Training Camp as a Private trainee."

Leiyin was depressed: "Huh? After all that, it's just a Private? Old man, are you kidding me?"

"This old man is not joking, military orders are like mountains, you are to report to the Training Camp immediately tomorrow, without fail."

"Okay... alright..." Leiyin said with a black line on his forehead.

Sigh, Garp, sure enough, he is still that childish, silly old man.

In fact, Leiyin doesn't mind the rank. What's the use of being promoted to a Navy Admiral now? Without strength, even if you become a Navy Fleet Admiral directly, you will be controlled by others, which is useless.

Just before Leiyin asked Garp, Leiyin had a bad feeling. Garp, this old man, really likes to mess around, giving himself a very low rank.

In fact, Garp did this with good intentions. He understood that Leiyin was strong, and may have already surpassed the strength of a Navy Captain or even a Commodore. He did this, firstly, to prevent Leiyin from being too high-profile, to be low-key in his words and deeds, and to silently increase his strength, so that when he suddenly explodes one day, he will suddenly ascend to the high levels of the Navy; secondly, he didn't want him to be too complacent. Leiyin is only sixteen years old, after all, he is young and energetic. If he is given a Lieutenant or even a Captain all of a sudden, and becomes a Vice Admiral or even an Admiral smoothly in the future, it is not good to not experience any storms.

Don't look at Garp's usual carelessness, a complete single-celled organism, but he is actually very smart, otherwise he would not have been in the high position of Navy Vice Admiral for so many years.

"By the way, brat, the trainees in the Training Camp all have their own single dormitories, and your dormitory is only a little over a kilometer away from my residence. I left it for you specially, so you can live there from now on."

Perhaps in Garp's heart, he already regards Leiyin as his grandson
