This was both training for them and a chance to burnish their credentials.
More importantly, it would restore peace to an entire stretch of sea.
Zephyr had been promoted to Marine Admiral after guarding a stretch of sea himself.
If Sakazuki and the others wanted to become Admirals, they needed not only greater strength, but more achievements to their names.
Although Kyle fell a little short in strength, his abilities were more well-rounded, and he excelled in every area.
In terms of overall ability, Kyle actually ranked first among them.
Like Borsalino, he was an important member of the Neutral Faction and enjoyed an excellent reputation within the Marines. He even had plenty of friends in both the Dove Faction and the Hawk Faction, leaving little anyone could fault him for.
He could skillfully balance relations between the various factions within the Marines.
What could one say? Was this only to be expected of talent nurtured by the government?
Besides, Kyle's ability was terrifying. In the past, it had merely been a support ability, but now it had become a top-tier Paramecia Devil Fruit.
It could not only increase his own combat power, but also drastically weaken his opponents.
The longer a fight lasted, the greater Kyle's advantage became.
Despite his government background, even if he failed to become a Marine Admiral, becoming an Admiral Candidate was all but certain.
Hades had not expected Kyle's career in the Marines to go so smoothly.
His development of the Heartbeat Fruit, in particular, had undoubtedly touched the level of awakening, achieving the ideal effects they had envisioned for it.
And Kyle was only twenty-two.
One should not forget that Kyle had eaten the Heartbeat Fruit more than fifteen years ago.
During the bloody war, Hades had been somewhat worried about Kyle's safety.
