Two Long Years (6)

On the Grand Line, near the G Branch of the Navy, lies a rich and peaceful island Filsterna. Since a Rear Admiral was suddenly parachuted into the Marine Headquarters three years ago, the previously chaotic order here has been instantly restored.

After three years of suppression by this Rear Admiral, no pirates dared to cause trouble in the surrounding seas.

Most importantly, the residents of the island loved the Rear Admiral very much, and their previously negative perception of the navy was completely improved.

The streets and alleys are lined with shops, and the shouts of vendors and the laughter of residents are the best testament to its grandeur.

Three years ago, Vergo was parachuted here and has been stationed there ever since, protecting the island in an orderly manner.

Because the G Branch was nearby, they needed to resupply in Filsterna. However, when Vergo first arrived, pirates were rampant there, and the Navy colluded with the island's gentlemen and wealthy people, enslaving the entire island and completely ruining the Navy's reputation.

It wasn't until Vergo used his ruthless methods, mercilessly suppressing all pirates, marines, and wealthy gentlemen, that this chaotic place was transformed into the prosperous and peaceful place it is today over the course of three years.

Because Vergo liked to use bamboo as a weapon, Vergo is now known as the "Ghost Bamboo Rear Admiral" in this sea area.

Suddenly, someone screamed in the streets and alleys, and everyone surged towards one direction.

"It's Lord Ghost Bamboo! He's so handsome!"

At the shore, a young girl with sparkling eyes watched the young man step off the warship, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Rear Admiral General, are you here for supplies?"

"Rear Admiral General, what kind of girl do you like?"

It was chaotic, filled with screams, mostly from young girls, all surrounding a group of young naval men who were following behind them, their faces filled with romantic longing.

"Ahem," Vergo, now increasingly mature, coughed as he looked at the crowd that had gathered several times inside and outside the building. "Everyone, please don't cause any disorder or stampede. We're here to resupply again, so please make way."

As soon as Vergo finished speaking, the previously crowded people parted instantly, and a wide road appeared directly in front of Vergo.

Thank you everyone!

Vergo's face was tense and extremely cold.

Slowly, Vergo led a group of sailors toward the town. He also needed to see someone he hadn't seen in a long time; otherwise, he wouldn't have personally gone out to resupply.

"Ah, the Rear Admiral General is so cold and handsome!"

Vergo's cool demeanor didn't keep people at arm's length; instead, it made many young girls swoon and become increasingly infatuated with him.

If, on this island, women ranging from 18 to 80 years old are looking for their Prince Charming, then none other than Rear Admiral General Ghost Bamboo would be the answer. (Beast)

At a designated supply depot, Vergo changed out of his Rear Admiral's uniform, made some minor alterations, gave instructions to his men, and then left alone.

In a remote place, on the top floor of a tavern, in a room, two people were slowly eating, as if waiting for someone.

The young man at the head of the group wore a pink feather coat and sunglasses. His blond hair was dazzling, and even as he sat there, a subtle aura of dominance permeated the entire room.

Beside this young man was a man dressed like an indigenous tribe, wearing a fur-brimmed hat, with two facial markings, and a red cloak. Judging from their seating positions, the young man in the pink feather coat was clearly the main figure.

"Fufufufu Diamante, go open the door, our family is here!"

Suddenly, the young man sitting in the main seat put down his knife and fork and smiled.

"Doff, is that Vergo?" Diamante scanned the Observation Haki, but didn't find anything. Nevertheless, he stood up and opened the door.

"Diamante, you should practice your Haki more often; your Observation Haki is a bit weak."

"Doff, I'm not like you, born a king, but I'll train harder!"

That's right, these two people are none other than Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai, and Diamante, one of Donquixote's subordinates.

Sure enough, Vergo appeared here a minute later.

"Young Master." Vergo looked at Doflamingo, who had stood up from his seat, and a smile appeared on his cold face.

"Vergo, it's been a long time! Have a seat!"

Doflamingo looked at Vergo and smiled as well.

The three of them sat down, and everything was so harmonious.

"Young Master, I heard some time ago that you were being hunted by Vice Admiral Tsuru. Are the others alright?" Vergo asked Doflamingo as soon as he arrived.

"That old hag, Fufufufu, is just following orders; I won't confront her directly for now!"

Although he was smiling, there was an inexplicable chill about him.

"That's good." Vergo breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, "What brings you here, young master?"

"I'm just passing through; I'll be heading back to the North Blue soon," Doflamingo replied, munching on his steak.

"Young Master, I will be returning to Marineford in a few days, and then our plan can be put into action." Suddenly, Vergo's words were astonishing, causing Doflamingo to put down his knife and fork.

Seeing Doflamingo's questioning gaze, Vergo continued, "The time has come for me to become Vice Admiral. With the authority of Vice Admiral, the family business can develop better, instead of remaining confined to the North Blue."

"Fufufu Vergo, my family, you've really given me a big surprise. Sending you to infiltrate the Navy was definitely the right decision. These past few years as Rear Admiral have made the family business much smoother. If you become Vice Admiral, in just a few years, the entire Underworld will be ours!"

"Great! With Vergo in the open, we can develop better, and our business on the Grand Line can rise to a higher level!" Diamante, standing to the side, also looked delighted.

"Vergo, I'll tell the rest of the family this good news. You've done another great service to the family this time!" Doflamingo raised his glass and chuckled.

"Cheers to the family!"

A few hours later, Vergo left the room, leaving Doflamingo and Diamante alone.

"Doff, Vergo"

"Don't worry, he hasn't betrayed us; he's always been our family."

Standing up, Doflamingo looked out the window and slowly began to laugh.

This time, he came specifically to see Vergo, and fortunately, he was not disappointed; Vergo was still Vergo, a member of the Donquixote Family.

In the office of G Branch, in Vergo's office, a beautiful and sexy woman had somehow taken her seat, while several navy personnel stood around her, swallowing hard and looking on nervously.

"Go and inform your Rear Admiral to come back quickly." She was aloof and arrogant, with long pink hair cascading down to reveal a perfect face.

"Yes, Hina."

The entire office was filled with an eerie atmosphere, but Vergo, who was rushing back at the moment, was completely unaware of it.

It has been two years since Ye Chen left Marineford. Hina, although still a colonel, is a completely different person now. At least she no longer has to follow others on missions.
