Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

Haiyuan calendar year 1514.

Marineford, Navy Headquarters Building.

Marshal’s Office.

Sengoku sat back in his office chair. He stared at the resignation report on his desk for a long time before looking at Sephiroth who was standing opposite the desk.

“After teaching in the military academy for a year, you still don’t plan to stay in the navy?”

“Well! The navy… is not suitable for me after all. It has too many restrictions and no freedom at all.”

“free……

Navy really doesn’t fit the word. ”

Warring States looked melancholy and murmured softly.

Seemingly thinking of something, he was still unwilling to give up and tried to suggest:

“Huh!? By the way, Zefa recently formed a pirate guerrilla group. This is a unit with a very high degree of freedom and can fight freely…

How about you go there and try to stay there for a while? If it’s not suitable, it’s not too late to leave?”

Hearing this, the corner of Sephiroth’s mouth twitched slightly. He and Zefa couldn’t get along with each other. If they joined the Pirate Guerrilla Team, they would probably have conflicts every day…

Besides, he’s here to resign! ?

He didn’t apply to change departments!

“Marshal of the Warring States Period, you don’t need to persuade me anymore, I have decided to leave.”

“Oh~!…Okay!

You have already handed over the work at the G4 branch before.

Now, after you hand over the affairs of the military academy, you can leave today. ”

Sengoku shook his head helplessly, picked up the Admiral’s exclusive seal on his desk, and stamped it on Sephiroth’s resignation report.

As the saying goes, there are only three things that can happen.

Sephiroth has submitted three written applications, and he has tried his best to retain him, but the other party is still determined to leave, so no amount of persuasion is of any use.

“Then…Marshal Warring States, goodbye!”

Sephiroth smiled, waved to the old man sitting in the office chair and wearing a navy marshal’s cape, and turned to leave.

Warring States looked at the young man who was about to open the door and leave, and he suddenly asked:

“Wait! Sephiroth…

Finally, can you tell me what exactly “flexible justice” you believed in originally was? ”

Hearing this, Sephiroth chuckled and walked out of the office without looking back.

However, the inexplicable tone of his voice reached the ears of Warring States.

“Flexible justice…isn’t this the justice the Navy wants most?

As a naval marshal, shouldn’t you understand this? ”

“Flexible justice…”

Sengoku murmured these words softly in his mouth, and then thought of Sephiroth’s past words and deeds.

After a while, he said bitterly:

“Good guy! So you kid is making fun of the navy!”

…………………

Marinefando Military Academy, at the entrance of the auditorium.

Ain, wearing a cape with the rank of captain, walked out chatting and laughing with the first class of cadets.

Today is the day when they have completed all their courses and graduated from the military academy. They have just held their graduation ceremony in the auditorium, so they are now discussing where to celebrate.

After all, by the next day, they would go their separate ways and report to different departments, not knowing when they would see each other again.

Sephiroth smiled and asked the first class of cadets:

“Can I borrow Ain from you temporarily?”

Hearing this, a group of military students immediately began to boo:

“No problem at all!”

“Instructor Sephiroth, I will ask you to take care of Ain tonight!”

“That’s right! That’s right!”

…..

Due to Sephiroth’s reputation issues, there have been rumors in the Navy Headquarters, and during this year, he would give private swordsmanship instruction to Ain from time to time.

In the eyes of outsiders, there is somewhat of an extraordinary relationship between the two.

Therefore, the military cadets kept making noises, which made Ain blush.

“You guys!”

Ain first glanced at these classmates who had been together for a year with an expression of embarrassment.

Then, with expectation and curiosity, she followed the silver-haired young man into the distance.

Sephiroth asked casually as he walked outside the military academy:

“Where are you going after graduation?”

“Hehehe-! I want to go to Lieutenant General Sephiroth’s G4 branch.

Until then, please take care of me! Ain said with a smile.

Sephiroth couldn’t help scratching his head, and he said helplessly:

“Huh!? Well, actually…I have resigned!

After today, I will no longer be a Marine…”

“Why!?”

Hearing this, Ain paused, and his whole body

She froze in place, her face full of astonishment and disbelief.

She really couldn’t understand why this promising Vice Admiral resigned and left the Navy.

So, she immediately asked without thinking:

“why is that?”

Sephiroth thought for a moment before speaking:

“To be free, to no longer be bound by the navy.”

Ain looked at the back of Sephiroth who was still walking towards the outside of the military academy. She quickly chased after him and asked:

“Freedom… Vice Admiral Sephiroth, aren’t you quite free in the navy?”

Sephiroth smiled, his eyes filled with inexplicable emotions.

“The freedom in your eyes is not the same as the freedom I feel…

Besides, the Navy sometimes gives me some orders that I find very troublesome and don’t want to do them.

In addition, what concerns me the most is…

As long as I stay in the navy, there is no way I can initiate a war with Yonko Kaido.

This is something I absolutely cannot tolerate…”

Ain frowned slightly and said with doubt on his face:

“Lieutenant General Sephiroth, why do you want to go to war with Kaido?”

“Because eleven years ago, my father was killed by the Beast Pirates on a tourist sailboat… Is this reason enough?

Although the gangster who killed my father with his own hands died at an unknown time, I personally killed Plague Quinn who led the attack on the sailboat.

but……

Not enough, this is far from enough!

The flame of revenge in my heart has not extinguished, it is still burning. ”

When Sephiroth spoke, his voice seemed very calm, without a trace of emotion, but his tone revealed unquestionable determination.

Ain: “…”

Hearing this, the girl couldn’t help but fell into silence for a long time.

The navy does have regulations that prohibit war with the four emperors without authorization. This is undoubtedly a very hindering constraint for Sephiroth.

It’s no wonder that he chose to leave the Navy…

Seemingly thinking of something, Sephiroth suddenly asked:

“Ain, why did you join the navy?”

“Fight against pirates and uphold justice!”

The girl answered without any hesitation and her tone was full of determination.

Hearing this, Sephiroth couldn’t help turning his head and looked at the girl deeply.

Through seeing and hearing Se Baqi, he could clearly sense that the other party was not lying, and his attitude was very serious…

“I think if that’s what you really think.

Then, after you graduate, applying to the G4 branch is not the best choice.

You may consider applying to old man Zefa’s new pirate guerrilla team.

That guy is a very pure person, and his dream is to become a partner of justice…

If you go there, as long as you have the ability and the relationship between teachers and students in the past, he will definitely use you.

If you go to other branches of the Navy, you may have to slowly gain qualifications, which may even frustrate your persistence. ”

“I understand! Thank you Lieutenant General Sephiroth for your advice. I will apply to join the Pirate Guerrilla Team…” Ain nodded.

While the two were talking and walking, they had arrived at a coastal beach in Marineland.

Sephiroth pulled out the butcher knife from his waist, opened his pocket, took out a long white sheathed knife, and handed it to Ain.

“This is……?”

“I promised you back then that as long as you help me recover the ancient books and data, I will give you two famous knives.

I gave the killing intent knife to you when I first restored the ancient book data.

Now, here’s the second knife…

Its name is ‘Thunder’, and its quality is comparable to that of a sharp knife. It can drain the user’s physical strength, making the attack have thunder and lightning attributes.

You can try it here and you won’t be able to take advantage of it…”

Upon hearing this, Ain immediately took the long knife in his hand with a look of joy.

Cang-!

The girl pressed her hand on the handle of the knife and slowly pulled the blade out of the scabbard.

The long knife in her hand has a white blade, and on the blade, there is a brilliant purple color, making the whole knife look gorgeous and magical.

Uh-huh!

As Ain waved the long sword in his hand vigorously, a streak of purple light streaked through the air, and a sword energy slash of more than twenty meters long, entwined with purple thunder and lightning, immediately flew out from the blade and shot toward to the cliff in the distance.

Boom-!

When the sword energy hit the cliff, the power of thunder mixed in it exploded instantly, bursting out with a strong explosion.

It caused countless gravels to splash out and smoke and dust to billow.

Sephiroth said with emotion in a melancholy tone:

“How is it? Are you satisfied with this knife?

It took me a whole year to make this knife! ”

Hearing this, Ain couldn’t help but feel a little moved. She slowly sheathed her sword, looked at Sephiroth, and said with a smile:

“Well! I’m very satisfied…”

“That’s good……

Then, it’s time for me to go! “Sephiroth smiled and nodded.

With that said, he opened a space door with a butcher knife and prepared to leave Malinfando directly.

Seeing this scene, Ain quickly called out to him.

“please wait for a moment!

I have something else I want to tell you. ”

“Um?”

Sephiroth paused slightly and turned to look at the girl, as if waiting for her words.

“Can you please come over here?

I’m embarrassed to say these words out loud…” Ain said with a twisted expression.

Sephiroth was 2.1 meters tall and Ain was 1.8 meters tall. The latter looked a little short in front of him and couldn’t reach his ear to speak.

Therefore, Sephiroth had no choice but to be patient, bent slightly, lowered his head, and prepared to listen to what the girl wanted to say.

After the young man lowered his head, the girl seemed to want to cheer herself up and took two deep breaths in succession…

next moment.

Ain’s soft pink lips kissed Sephiroth gently on the cheek.

“Thank you!”

After saying that, the girl blushed, turned around quickly, and ran away as fast as she could…

That day, she lost to the shy Ain. After all, she was unable to say the words she wanted to say most in her heart…
