Uya was quite familiar with the character of Ain, so after a moment's thought, Sengoku Uya.
As a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters, Uya has never been assigned an adjutant because he doesn't usually handle or deal with anything. An adjutant is a position similar to a secretary, assisting in naval affairs.
Generally, naval admirals are assigned adjutants.
The message that Uya sent to Sengoku was, of course, a request for an adjutant, and he specifically named Ain.
Sengoku quickly received the message from Uya and found Uya's request very strange.
Because Uya had never taken the initiative to request an adjutant before, and had even refused to have one, but now he suddenly brought it up.
Ain was Zephyr's student, and Sengoku couldn't see anything special about her. He didn't know how Uya knew about Ain or how she chose her.
Could it be because she's a beautiful young girl?!
It seems that this is the only explanation.
Thinking of this, Sengoku didn't get angry at all. Instead, his eyes lit up. He wasn't afraid that Uya had any special hobbies. He was just afraid that Uya had no hobbies at all.
If Uya doesn't care about anything, then obviously he won't care about the Navy either, and he might suddenly leave the Navy one day.
Now, it seems that Uya's preferences have been discovered. As long as there are preferences, things will be much easier.
Feeling that he had grasped the key point, Sengoku approved it without hesitation, transferring Marine Headquarters Lieutenant Commander Ain to Uya as his adjutant.
The upper and middle floors of the Marine Headquarters are where the Marine Headquarters reside. One of them is Uya's private office, and Garp is also on this floor.
However, most of the time, Garp would sneak into Sengoku's room to steal food.
At this moment, outside Uya's room stood a girl in blue, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of trepidation, holding a document in her hand.
She was wearing a naval lieutenant commander's trench coat. Because she had been transferred to be Uya's adjutant, her rank had been promoted directly from major to lieutenant commander.
Originally, her position was also that of an adjutant, but she was the adjutant of another vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters. She had only been in this position for less than a month when she was suddenly transferred to Uya's side and even promoted one rank, which made her very confused.
Moreover, the name Uya was extremely unfamiliar to her. It seemed that she had never heard of such a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters before, as if he had appeared out of thin air.
Ironically, the name seemed somewhat familiar; it was as if she had heard it before.
Wondering what kind of fierce and menacing Vice Admiral Uya would be, Ain took a deep breath, then reached out her slender hand and gently knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Hearing the sound coming from inside, Ain pushed the door open and went inside.
Upon entering the room, Ain immediately showed a hint of surprise.
The room was impeccably clean and tidy, with a bright gleam from the wooden floor. There was only a desk, a chair, and a recliner in the entire room.
There was no one in the chair behind the desk, nor in the recliner; only in the middle of the floor sat an incredibly handsome young man with fair skin.
Looking at the boy who seemed to be about the same age as her, Ain paused for a moment before asking, "Um... is Lieutenant General Uya here?"
You must be Ain.
Uya stood up, glanced at the girl, and recognized her immediately, but still casually asked a question.
"Um."
Ain nodded, watched Uya stand up, and exchanged a glance with Uya. She was momentarily stunned.
Stunning!
This was the only word in her mind.
Uya's appearance was absolutely the most exquisite she had ever seen, almost flawless, as if she had stepped out of a fairy tale, and she exuded an incomparably noble aura.
Those eyes were quite ordinary, yet they seemed to hold a deep, starry sky within them; just one glance was enough to make her lose her composure.
Ain was absolutely certain that in the entire Marine Headquarters, or rather, among all the Marines she had ever met, there was absolutely no one who could compare to Uya in terms of appearance and temperament.
Ain's arrival was perfectly timed; Uya was training in Armament Haki, which made his aura stand out. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Uya would have looked like an ordinary person.
For Uya, adjusting her own temperament was an extremely simple matter.
After standing there stunned for a moment, Ain suddenly realized what was happening. A faint blush instantly rose on her cheeks. She lowered her head, no longer daring to look directly at Uya, and said in a slightly flustered tone, "Um, may I ask who you are...?"
"Didn't you come here to report for duty?"
Uya looked at her and immediately smiled.
Upon hearing Uya's words, Ain looked up in astonishment, staring at Uya with some disbelief. She asked softly, her voice hesitant, "Could it be that you are...?"
" Uya."
Uya nodded to her, then walked behind his desk and casually sat down.
Ain was stunned once again.
She never imagined that the boy in front of her, who looked about the same age as her, was actually Vice Admiral Uya from the Marine Headquarters!
The man in front of her, Uya, looked to be under twenty years old, about the same age as her, yet he was already a Vice Admiral in the Marine Headquarters!
At this moment, Ain finally remembered why she was so familiar with the name Uya. She finally recalled the rumors in the newspapers some time ago: a young man who had fought to a draw with the world's number one swordsman, Hawk-Eye, had suddenly appeared!
The boy's name seemed to be Uya. Connecting the dots, it shouldn't be surprising that the Uya in front of them was the one who fought to a draw with the world's greatest swordsman, Hawk-Eye.
To Ain's complete surprise, Uya was actually a Marine, and a Vice Admiral at Marine Headquarters, the officer she would be assisting in the future.
"Commander Uya! I'm so sorry, I was rude just now!"
After finally realizing what was happening, Ain bowed sharply to Uya, quickly suppressing the turmoil in her heart on her face, her small face regaining its calm expression.
However, the turmoil surging within me cannot be calmed down in a short time.
After bowing to Uya Uya, she placed the document she was holding on the table in front of him; the document contained her own information.
After Uya took it, he glanced at it. It contained Ain's identity information, Ain previous experience serving in the Navy, Ain Devil Fruit ability, and information such as her height and weight.
However, measurements are not provided.
"It seems you were previously serving as an adjutant to another lieutenant general, right?"
Seeing that Ain had just been promoted to Lieutenant Commander in the Marine Headquarters a month ago and was serving as the adjutant to Vice Marine Headquarters Onigumo, Uya casually asked.
"Um."
Ain nodded, a slight look of gloom on her face. The Marine Headquarters Admiral Onigumo was fierce-looking and cruel, and didn't even care much about the lives of his subordinates. Ain was quite afraid of him.
However, Ain was one of the disciples that former Marine Admiral Zephyr cared about. Almost everyone in the Marine Headquarters was once Zephyr's student, including the three admirals Aokiji and Akainu. Therefore, Onigumo's attitude towards Ain was relatively good.
"I see..."
Uya stroked his chin and placed the documents in his hand on the table.
Having only served as Onigumo's adjutant for less than a month, he was forcibly taken over by him. Onigumo must be very unhappy about it now.
After thinking about it for a moment, Uya didn't care much anymore. Let alone Onigumo, even if it were a Marine Headquarters Admiral like Aokiji, Kizaru, or Akainu, so what?!
If you're not satisfied, then let's have a go. It just so happens that Uya is planning to hone his swordsmanship against these Marine Headquarters Admirals during this time.
Of course, the most important thing is to first study time management capabilities. (To be continued.)
