Chapter 117
Yamato stood on the railing of one of the ships, looking at Luna on the deck of the other ship. She was quite surprised. "Luna, are you going to sea too?"
"There's a mission that requires my personal attention."
Luna answered calmly, turning to look at Yamato, "Are you ready, Yamato? From now on, it's your own adventure."
"Of course!"
Yamato clenched his fist excitedly, "I've been preparing since I was eight years old!"
Luna didn't speak.
You'd better really be prepared.
But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, we've already prepared a group of experienced female sailors for her, and with Yamato's strength, reaching Elbaf shouldn't be a problem.
The distance wasn't far to begin with.
"Let's go then."
Luna said.
"Um!"
Yamato nodded Yamato and forcefully, "I'm off!"
As if that wasn't enough, she took another deep breath and loudly proclaimed to someone, "Yamato's adventure begins!!"
"Hahahaha! Elbaf, here I come! What is the land of giants like?"
Joyful laughter echoed throughout the harbor.
New World Front Section.
Marine Guerrilla Unit.
"Stand up straight."
Zephyr glared at his disciple, who was standing rudely, and said, "What do you think you're doing right now?"
"There are no outsiders here, why make it so serious?"
Even as he said this, Naito straightened up, his eyes becoming noticeably sharper.
"Hmm, that's more like it."
Seeing his beloved disciple instantly perk up, Zephyr nodded in satisfaction.
"Then I will now read out the orders from headquarters."
Zephyr also became serious. "Commodore Knight, a member of the Navy Guerrilla Force, distinguished himself in the war between Kaido and Wang Zhi, making outstanding contributions to protecting the government's member states and upholding the Navy's justice. After discussion at Navy Headquarters, it has been decided to promote Knight to the rank of Rear Admiral."
"Yes."
Naito gave a military salute.
His promotion order finally came through.
Although only two months have passed since the last promotion, it was a special case, and the achievements and prestige were entirely worthy of it.
Zephyr personally helped Naito put on his Rear Admiral's epaulets, then smiled and patted Naito on the shoulder, "Keep it up, Rear Admiral Naito."
"Teacher Zephyr,"
Naito's body slumped again instantly, and his voice trailed off, "Your rank has been promoted, shouldn't my position be promoted too?"
"He's Rear Admiral now, he can't still command a single ship like when he was Commodore, can he?"
"Tsk."
Commodore Doll was watching the commotion from the ship's side, rolled his eyes.
You've already forgotten your roots after just being promoted, haven't you?
What are you showing off for?
Rear Admiral is a general, but Commodore isn't a general?
Zephyr smirked. "Don't worry, I've already applied to headquarters for another ship."
"As expected of Teacher Zephyr."
Naito said sincerely.
The Marine Guerrilla Unit originally had only five ships, but in just two months, they have gained two more.
This is the largest fleet in the navy; even the Buster Call only had ten.
"But before that,"
Zephyr glanced at Naito again and said, "You might be in for a bit of a workout."
"Um?"
Naito raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Didn't Gion say that the Reverie is about to be held? Because the journey is long and risky, our navy will send many high-ranking officers to escort the Affiliated Nation families attending the conference."
Zephyr said, "Your reputation has been soaring lately, so headquarters has decided to strike while the iron is hot and send you to show your face in front of the Affiliated Nation again."
"Tsk."
Want to be a bodyguard?
That's pretty boring.
Chapter 84 Departure for the East Blue, Gild Tesoro
"So,"
The newly appointed Rear Admiral Naito sat listlessly on the ship's railing, his eyelids drooping, and said weakly, "Where do you want me to go?"
"East Blue."
Zephyr stood beside him, not looking at him, gazing at the boundless sea. "That's the most peaceful sea in the world, and it also has the largest number of Affiliated Nation in the world."
"What headquarters means is that, with your capabilities, escorting several Affiliated Nation at once is no problem at all."
"The East Blue?"
Naito's eyelids lifted slightly.
The sea where it all began.
There really weren't any rare or exotic treasures in that sea area.
The only truly crucial element is probably Luffy and his initial crew.
However, Zoro and Sanji, who have the most potential, are only thirteen years old, and they are not old enough to be recruited into the Navy.
"By the way,"
Zephyr turned around, "Go and bring Garp back. The Reverie is starting; he can't continue his vacation."
Has Garp gone back to his hometown again?
How long does that old man take vacation each year?
How can justice be served like this?
Why can't we learn from Professor Zephyr? He works almost year-round without a break.
"All right."
Naito nodded.
Treat it as a trip.
Since we're going to pick up Garp anyway, it wouldn't be bad to stop by King Luffy on the way.
"Um."
Zephyr nodded. "After that, head straight to Red Port. Headquarters has already prepared a ship for you."
"So eager?"
Naito raised an eyebrow.
There are still two or three months until the Reverie officially opens, right?
Do you think it's quick to make a round trip?
Zephyr said, "Can you really lead the royal families of the Affiliated Nation back to Mary Geoise in less than two months?"
That's true.
Ultimately, the speed of sailing warships was still too slow, and the Affiliated Nation were scattered all over the South Blue, not close to Mary Geoise.
Especially in the Affiliated Nation of the Four Blues, on the return journey they have to cross Reverse Mountain and obediently take the Paradise Route. After all, they can't exactly take the royal family across the Calm Belt to see the Sea Kings baring their teeth, can they?
"Understood."
Naito nodded slightly.
So, the next target is the East Blue.
"The East Blue?"
Binz immediately chimed in, "I haven't been to the Four Blues yet! Toro and Frank were assigned to Loguetown in the East Blue. I can visit them while I'm there, hehe. They say the East Blue is the most peaceful sea. I really envy them, living such a peaceful life, unlike us, who have to fight pirates from the New World every few days!"
Seeing the smug smile on the guy's face, Naito's lips twitched. "Understood. I'll ask Professor Zephyr to transfer you to Loguetown."
"Hey! Just kidding, I was just kidding!"
Binz's expression immediately changed, and he said irritably, "You start playing dumb at times like this!"
"Binz is so boring,"
Ain shook his head. "Everyone has their duty. Toro and Frank are also working hard in their positions, contributing to the peace of the East Blue."
"Naito isn't even thinking of showing off to them, so what are you so proud of?"
Binz's lips twitched slightly.
No, Ain, are you lying through your teeth?
Naito showed up without even trying to brag.
And do you have some kind of problem with me? You seem to be quite aggressive.
In any case, we must now head towards the East Blue.
While the Marine Guerrilla Unit were advancing towards the front of the New World, in a certain sea area of New World...
This is a small island with a bustling town. The town is lined with all kinds of shops, and the harbor outside the town is full of various ships.
There were pirate ships, merchant ships, and even several vessels flying the flags of several Affiliated Nation.
People from all walks of life gather here.
The vast majority of people had only one final destination: that rather impressive building located in the center of the town.
