"Hey, Kuzan."
"Now that you know about this, what do you think?!"
"Want to come over to my side?"
Tsugikuni Yoriichi smiled as he extended his invitation to Kuzan. This blatant attempt to recruit him made Zephyr, who had been pouring tea for Yoriichi, freeze for a moment. Not daring to give Kuzan time to think, he knocked on the table and interrupted in dissatisfaction:
"Hey, hey, hey, you brat, you've gone too far!"

"Shut up already. Isn't even such good tea enough to keep your mouth shut?!"

However, by the time Tsugikuni Yoriichi left Marine Headquarters, he had already built up tremendous prestige across the seas and made like-minded companions within the Marines.
