Chapter 42 Promotion
Hero?
After hearing Coles' answer.
Kahn suddenly felt dazed.
When he was a child, he aspired to be a hero, which is why he chose to learn swordsmanship at Isshin Dojo.
As he grew up.
His worldview began to expand, and he gradually understood what justice and evil were.
The change in his life was because he met a person who was very special, no, even great.
The name of that person was "Monkey D. Dragon", the leader of the Revolutionary Army. His ideal was to lead the oppressed people of the whole world to overthrow the current order.
Kahn chose to join the Revolutionary Army, but William refused, which is why they are now on two different paths.
Later, he became an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army in the East China Sea Navy!
This is a profession that walks in the dark night and needs to face death at any time.
The risk is very high.
It can even be said that everything he did was not a hero before his career was completed.
But Coles' words made Kahn feel that he had realized his original dream.
It turned out that he was already a hero, although only a hero of one person.
But, this is enough!
Kahn walked slowly to Coles' side and showed a rare smile.
"Thank you for your recognition."
He did not ask Coles why he hid everything about the ghost ship, because it was clear that this was just to cover up the real facts.
"Are you sure you want to stay in Rogue Town for a while?"
"Yes, Major."
"Well, I'll try to help you, but I don't know if I can succeed."
"Thank you, Major."
...
Navy Headquarters, Marinford.
In a large office.
Many layers of files are piled up in an orderly manner on the black desk.
A sturdy old man in a navy uniform is bowing his head to review these files.
His long beard on his chin is tied into a braid, and there is a seagull symbolizing "Navy" on his military cap, and the epaulettes are with golden shoulder tassels.
As he raised his head, you can see his serious face and a pair of frog glasses.
On his chest, there is a medal representing a high honor on the navy uniform.
He is the current marshal of the Navy Headquarters.
Sengoku!
As the marshal of the Navy Headquarters, he needs to deal with a lot of affairs every day to cope with the current era of great pirates, and his work can be said to be extremely busy.
All this originated from the public execution of Pirate King Roger in Rogue Town nineteen years ago.
The World Government originally wanted to end the chaotic era by publicly executing "Pirate King Roger".
But unexpectedly, Roger's words before the execution completely ignited the sea and launched a more turbulent "Great Pirate Era".
As the number of pirates skyrocketed, the number of casualties in the navy was also increasing.
Although the Navy issued the uniforms of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" to balance the chaotic situation at sea.
But if the new forces of the Navy are not replenished in time, the Navy will inevitably be oppressed by pirates, and the damage caused by pirates will also expand rapidly.
"Damn Roger, he is already dead, but he still leaves so many troubles!"
Sengoku couldn't help but curse.
"You're right. Roger left behind too many troubles!"
The door of the Admiral's office was pushed open, and an old man wearing a navy coat entered.
This is a tall, broad-chested, muscular old man.
There is a scar on his left eye, his eyes are blue, and he has a head full of white hair, but he is energetic.
"Garp, what are you doing here?"
This white-haired old man with full spirit is "Garp", who is known as the hero of the navy!
Garp sat on the sofa in the Sengoku office and chewed the "senbei" on the table.
"Of course I came here to drink tea!"
After saying that, Garp enjoyed the fine green tea brewed on the table while chewing the crunchy senbei, with a face full of enjoyment.
Zhan Guo's face was furious, and he slammed his hands on the desk and roared: "Damn it, you bastard, that's my senbei, put it down!"
"What? I didn't hear it!"
Garp turned his head aside, picked his ears, indicating that he couldn't hear it, and then grabbed the senbei with his other hand and put it into his mouth.
Garp and Zhan Guo were once the same batch of recruits who joined the navy. After all these years of experience, they have already become close friends, so the communication and conversation between the two are somewhat casual.
Zhan Guo sat back in his seat.
Took out two navy files.
"I have two outstanding promotion reviewers here, you can just give me some advice, after all, they are all navy from the East China Sea like you."
"Hmm?"
Garp was a little surprised and walked over to look at the two files.
First file:
Name: Kahn
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Joined the Navy: 5 years
Current position: Lieutenant Commander
Evaluation: He is upright and believes in protection. He has risked his life to save his subordinates many times
Military achievements: Recently, on the last day of the training period for new recruits, he defeated the Black Cat Pirates and solved the famous "Kro" in the East China Sea.
Note: Recommended by Smoker, the Navy Captain of Roger Town, and applied for transfer to the Navy Headquarters (approved)
Rank promoted to: Lieutenant Commander of the Navy Headquarters
——
Kahn's rank was not without promotion.
Because the rank of the Navy Headquarters is different from that of the Navy of the Four Seas, the rank of the Navy of the Four Seas will be about three ranks lower after arriving at the Navy Headquarters.
Although it is just the word "Headquarters" in front of the Navy Lieutenant Commander, it is a huge promotion.
Garp was speechless.
He continued to eat senbei.
"You have already approved it, why are you asking me what it means?"
Sengoku snatched the senbei from Garp's hand and pointed to the second file and said, "Look at this one first."
Garp looked at it with some disinterest, but as the file came into his eyes, he was gradually shocked.
The second navy file:
Name: Charlotte Coles
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Joined the navy: three months (just finished the recruit period)
Military rank: not yet awarded
Special: Devil ability user (the fruit name is "Shadow Fruit")
Military merits: 1. Killed the captain of the Giant Fist Pirates, Yulong, who had a bounty of 10 million berries during the recruit period
2. After the end of the recruit period, he wiped out the gang forces in Rogue Town alone
3. Killed Redbeard Barbarossa, who had a bounty of 24 million berries, in the sea restaurant, and defeated the thousand-man pirate group alone
Evaluation: Rapid growth in strength (Smoker), cold personality, rebellious heart, often disobeying orders, observation and polishing are recommended (Kahn)
——
After reading the entire file.
Garp praised.
"A devil fruit user from the East China Sea? It's really rare! Just after completing the recruit period, he can deal with 20 million pirates. It seems that this navy will have great achievements in the future!"
Zhan Guo nodded seriously.
"After this file was sent to me, I immediately noticed that this is definitely a new star in the navy."
"I originally wanted to transfer him to the headquarters for training so that he could grow better, but the evaluation given to him by his instructor during the recruit period made me hesitate. Should I let him stay in the East China Sea or transfer him to the Navy Headquarters?"
Kahn was not very interested in such troublesome things, and he took the senbei and left directly.
"Think about this kind of thing slowly, I'm leaving first."
Zhan Guo was immediately furious.
"Asshole Garp, you ate my senbei and didn't leave me any opinions."
"I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it." Garp acted like a rogue and disappeared from the office.
Zhan Guo sat back in his seat.
He began to think carefully.
In the end, Zhan Guo picked up the pen and wrote down the rank on this promotion file.
He still did not choose to transfer this rebellious navy recruit to the headquarters.
Hone his character in the East China Sea, which would help the recruit's future achievements.
As for the other party's promotion rank this time,
The original second lieutenant of the Navy Headquarters was replaced by a "Major Commander" from Rog Town in the East China Sea!
