Ye Tong, All Talk

"Kuzan, what is your dream?"

Hearing Ye Tong's question, Kuzan was stunned again.

He was a man determined to become a Marine. Naturally, his dream was to eradicate evil and uphold justice!

"To sweep away evil!"

Kuzan replied calmly.

"To sweep away evil?"

"Then what is evil in your eyes, and what is justice?"

Ye Tong shook his head and spoke again.

This was something practically every Marine would say.

But there were only a handful who truly upheld the justice in their hearts and possessed an absolute concept of justice.

Even the current admirals Sengoku, Zephyr, and Tsuru were unclear about it.

In his memories, there were only a few Marines who truly carried out justice.

Sakazuki, Kuzan, Smoker...

As for many others, even they themselves were vague about it. They merely followed the justice demanded by their positions and stumbled forward in confusion.

"Pirates are the greatest evil on these seas. My job is to remove those tumors."

"Just like Vice Admiral Garp!"

Kuzan said again.

In Kuzan's eyes, Garp's repeated refusal to be promoted to admiral was an incredibly cool thing.

And that was what he wanted to do as well—only do what he believed was just.

"Vice Admiral Garp?"

"Hahaha, if you want to walk Garp's path, you're still far from it!"

"With the Ice-Ice Fruit, all you can do is make a cold room and turn into an element."

"Just how much have you developed the Ice-Ice Fruit's abilities?"

"And how far have you trained your Armament Haki and Observation Haki?"

Ye Tong mercilessly tore him down.

He possessed such a powerful Logia Fruit, yet he could not even defeat a cleaning trooper like him.

Originally, Ye Tong had only wanted to show off a little in front of Aokiji, one of the three admirals. But once he started talking, he realized he could not stop himself.

Since he had already gone this far, he had to spout a little more nonsense, right?

"I..."

"You mean I should go learn from Vice Admiral Garp?"

Kuzan froze for a moment before blurting that out.

"You've heard of Borsalino and Sakazuki, right?"

"When it comes to teaching students, among the current three admirals, no one is more suitable than Admiral Zephyr."

"Kuzan, you still have a lot to learn. Keep it up!"

After saying that, Ye Tong hurriedly ran off.

If he kept talking, he would run out of lines.

Sure enough, he was only suited to bluffing people.

He really was not used to things like teaching and nurturing others!

Kuzan did not pursue the matter. He simply stood amid the icicles in silence.

As for Carotell, he followed Ye Tong away with some unease.

"That kid is quite interesting!"

"But did you tell him everything he knows?"

Zephyr stood on a distant tall building with his hands behind his back, smiling as he spoke.

"I can't figure that kid out either."

"As for where he learned that information, I have no idea."

"The only thing I can be sure of is that he isn't evil."

Garp tossed a rice cracker into his mouth and said lazily.

"Since he isn't evil, then let him become justice! What do you think? Send him to my training ground?"

Zephyr said again.

"You'll have to ask him yourself."

"That kid seems to only want to be a cleaning trooper."

"He's a kid who's only interested in trash. Hahahaha..."

With that, Garp left directly.
