Victor's Little Fanboy

Victor turned and looked at the young man behind him.

The young man had an excited smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with admiration.

"Who are you?" Victor looked at the young man in confusion.

The young man first saluted, then replied, "Colonel Victor, I am a student from Zephyr-sensei's 1491st class. My name is Wright. I just graduated this year and am currently interning on Vice Admiral Garp's ship. I never expected to meet you here, Senior. I'm so lucky."

Victor, Sakazuki, and Borsalino belonged to the 1490th class, Zephyr's first students.

"Mhm," Victor looked at Wright and said with a smile, "How is Zephyr-sensei? I haven't seen him in a year."

Wright said, "Zephyr-sensei is in very good health. He often mentions you to us, Senior, and tells us to learn from you."

Victor smiled and said, "Zephyr-sensei always praises me. I'll get a big head."

Wright said admiringly, "Zephyr-sensei said that you can learn any Body Arts after seeing it just once. You are a genius among geniuses, and the first among all his students to master Haki. Especially the Rokushiki Combat Techniques you developed, they are extremely practical in combat. Also, the records you set during your time at the academy, no one has been able to break them yet..."

Wright chattered on, looking like a devoted fan.

However, this was not surprising.

Victor was proficient in Body Arts and Haki, and he had trained extremely hard since he was young.

In Zephyr's eyes, Victor was not only talented but also diligent, a role model for his students, and Zephyr's pride.

Victor encouraged him, "As long as you maintain your passion and keep training, you can be like me."

"Yes!" Wright was naturally delighted to receive encouragement from his idol.

"Then you carry on with your work. I'm going to the deck to get some air."

Victor finished speaking and turned to leave.

Victor and others arrived at Branch G1 base.

At this time, the two Vice Admirals of Branch G1 were already waiting for them at the naval port.

"Victor, it's been a while since I've seen you."

The Vice Admiral who spoke first was named Boris, and he was 57 years old.

The Vice Admiral behind Boris was named Cliff, and he was 49 years old.

Victor took the initiative to greet Boris and Cliff, "Uncle Boris, Uncle Cliff."

Boris asked in confusion, "I heard you went to South Blue? How were you transferred to Branch G5?"

Victor explained, "It was Sengoku-uncle's arrangement. He thinks I need more tempering."

"Mhm, Sengoku did the right thing this time," Boris agreed and nodded.

It made no sense to send an elite from Headquarters to South Blue.

Wasn't that overkill?

Although Victor had indeed violated military discipline, Boris didn't think it was a big problem.

Who hadn't been young and impulsive!

At this moment, Victor saw many familiar faces.

One of them was Akainu.

However, Akainu had not yet received his codename.

He should be called Sakazuki.

Sakazuki was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt, a navy hat, and a long sword on his back.

Sakazuki had not yet obtained the ability of the Magma-Magma Fruit.

Another was Borsalino.

Borsalino was wearing a yellow shirt, a white vest, and a navy hat.

Besides them, Victor directly ignored Kizaru, Onigumo, and others.

Sakazuki and Borsalino also saw Victor.

Sakazuki's expression was blank.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Borsalino's eyes.

Originally, Victor would have been sent to the New World for an internship like them after graduation.

However, Victor had stayed in the first half of the Grand Line.

Now, so many promising young people were gathered together, which meant the Navy had a major operation planned.

During dinner, Victor saw the trio of Sakazuki, Onigumo, and Doberman, who always sat together, in the mess hall.

Onigumo and Doberman both agreed with Sakazuki's justice.

Sakazuki's justice was absolute justice; he would eliminate all evil in the world!

Such absolute hawk-like justice naturally attracted followers.

However, the trio seemed a bit out of place in the mess hall.

Because Kizaru, Garp, and others were present, Sengoku, Tsuru, and the other officers sat in the central area.

Some of them were subordinates of Sengoku, Zephyr, Garp, or Tsuru.

In the past, Sengoku, Zephyr, Garp, and Tsuru were comrades, and their subordinates would stick together, forming factions.

Zephyr, in particular, was known worldwide for his "no killing" principle, making this faction relatively moderate and the Navy's "doves."

Victor's peripheral vision caught sight of Borsalino sitting alone in a corner. He picked up his meal tray and walked over.

Borsalino was eating curry by himself. He seemed a little surprised when Victor sat down.

"Is it okay if I sit here?" Victor asked with a smile.

"Suit yourself," Borsalino replied indifferently.

"Thanks, then." Victor picked up a chicken nugget, dipped it in sweet and sour sauce, and ate it slowly.

Just then, Wright walked into the restaurant. After ordering his food, he was looking for a seat when he spotted Victor.

Upon seeing Victor, Wright immediately patted the person next to him.

"Senior Victor is over there."

Like Wright, the young man beside him was also a big fan of Victor.

"Senior, this is Connor."

Wright introduced the young man next to him to Victor.

Connor scratched his head and said shyly, "Hello, Senior. Your Rokushiki Cultivation Insights have helped me a lot."

During his time at the military academy, Victor had written two books: Rokushiki Derivative Techniques and Rokushiki Cultivation Insights.

After reading them, Zephyr praised Victor highly and promoted both books throughout the academy.

Victor's juniors, in particular, had all read these books and benefited greatly.

Rokushiki was difficult for ordinary people, let alone mastering it.

Mastering it was even harder.

Victor's written cultivation insights allowed Wright and others to avoid many detours.

In the eyes of Wright and the others, Victor was selfless and great!

Victor smiled and said, "You're welcome. If it can help you, then it has value."

"Senior, can we sit with you?" Wright asked cautiously.

"Of course," Victor nodded in agreement.

Wright and Connor sat at a nearby table.

They were thrilled; it was amazing to be able to eat with their idol!

Borsalino continued eating by himself, thinking, So this was his purpose in writing the books. As expected, he shouldn't be underestimated.

Borsalino and Victor had been classmates.

When Victor wrote Rokushiki Derivative Techniques and Rokushiki Cultivation Insights, his classmates thought he was just trying to show off.

He never expected these "ordinary books" to have such a significant impact.

For monsters like Borsalino and Sakazuki, Rokushiki Derivative Techniques and Rokushiki Cultivation Insights were indeed very ordinary and offered them no help.

Victor smiled and asked Borsalino, "Still haven't been promoted to Colonel after two years?"
