One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger

Navy Headquarters.

The sailors were busy with their own affairs as usual.

There were less than 100 naval soldiers lined up on the playground.

"Hey, good morning, fellow 'newbies'!"

Zefa appeared on the playground with a friendly smile on his face.

However, the sailors present felt unwell all over. You know, they had just completed their mission not long ago. As a result, they were all called to the playground before they had much time to rest.

Moreover, they found that there were much fewer people present today, and many people were wondering in their hearts whether something had happened to those people.

"I didn't ask you to come here to reminisce about the past... You are all the ones who performed relatively well in this mission. You should be thankful."

"As for the rest, they have already packed up and returned home..."

Zefa used the calmest voice to speak the cruelest words.

"Now... everyone stand at attention! Turn right and run 200 laps around the playground. After you finish, we can move on to the next training."

"..."

The sailors did as they were told. They had seen the darkness of the sea and knew that their hard training now was to protect their own lives and those of their companions on the battlefield in the future.

"Jin'an, step out." Zefa said to Jin'an alone.

When the navy heard Zefa's call, they did not make any special response.

They all knew the specific content of Jinan's mission. If they could complete the mission so perfectly, their names would probably be among the people named by Zefa.

"Roger that!"

Jinan walked out of the queue and followed Zefa towards the office.

"..."

After entering the office, Jinan saw Zefa's reminder and gently closed the office door.

Zefa sat on the sofa, staring at Jinan opposite him with a pair of sharp eyes.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Zefa asked softly.

Jin An shook his head, then nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, you are planning to give me a promotion?"

Zefa supported his hands on the table, nodded and said: "We are indeed going to promote you, but you need to wait here patiently for a while..."

Jin An was a little confused. Why was he so serious about getting a promotion? Was there something else he wanted to tell him?

Zefa looked at him and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, this is a good thing for you..."

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door, and then the office door was opened from the outside.

A group of people who were very familiar to Jinan walked in.

"Good boy, you completed the mission well this time, you deserve encouragement!" After walking into the office, Cap patted Jinan's shoulder enthusiastically.

"You really made our navy proud this time. You killed more than 2000 pirates without any delay. That's exactly what I wanted."

Jin An rolled his eyes. This guy Garp is still as sloppy as ever.

Didn’t you see that Zhan Guo was staring at the two of them?

Although Sengoku was helpless about Garp's behavior, he was also very happy this time. After all, Jin'an had cleared out a cancer for them.

……

"Okay... time to get down to business."

Zhan Guo cleared his throat and looked at Jin An.

"Logically speaking, you should have been promoted to a higher rank long ago based on what you've done during this period, but we all have some concerns that we hope you don't mind."

Military rank is not something that can be promoted just because they want to.

When it comes to the appointment of general officers, it is necessary to consult the world government.

What’s rare is that this application was actually approved…

Jin'an looked at the opposite side with some anticipation. It is better to have more promotions.

"After our discussion, we decided to award you the rank of Lieutenant General."

"Lieutenant General?"

Jin An opened his mouth wide. He had expected that he would be satisfied if he could be promoted to major general, but unexpectedly, he got an unexpected surprise.

"That's right, Lieutenant General," Zefa repeated.

"Do you have any ideas? You can bring them up now." asked Zhan Guo.

Jin An stood at attention, without making any requests, and said seriously:

"I will take responsibility for my promotion to lieutenant general."

Hearing Jin An's words, Zhan Guo nodded with satisfaction: "Then we congratulate you, Lieutenant General Jin An."

A lieutenant general is already a high-ranking official in the navy and enjoys excellent treatment. Of course, he also needs to shoulder corresponding responsibilities.

Jin An rubbed his hands and asked, "I am now a lieutenant general, so what about the South China Sea..."

Zhan Guo said unhappily: "Of course you are still responsible for the South China Sea. We know that you treat that place as your own backyard, and we will not take away someone else's good things."

It doesn’t matter who controls the South China Sea, as those places always have very limited influence on the overall world situation.

During the Zhan Guo period, they were not quite sure why Jin'an attached so much importance to the South China Sea.

"That's good... That's good..." Jin An breathed a sigh of relief.

Only with a stable rear base can he have the confidence to gain a firm foothold in this world.

"In that case, we will announce this appointment to the world later." Zhan Guo said.

Jin An nodded solemnly and replied: "I will never let you down!"

After leaving Zefa's office, Jinan's mouth corners curled slightly uncontrollably.

The more power he holds, the easier it is for him to do things.

This twisted world is really disgusting, maybe it's time to make some changes.

……

The day Jin An came out of Zefa's office, the news of Jin An's promotion to lieutenant general spread like wildfire.

The news spread throughout Marinford in a very short time, causing a great shock within the navy.

The reason is also very simple.

The sailors who entered the naval training camp with him are still busy with training.

However, Jin An, who entered the training camp at the same time, has already become a lieutenant general. How can this not be shocking?

However, after people learned about what Jin An had done, they felt that his promotion to lieutenant general was a normal thing.

……

At the Navy Headquarters, Jinan's inauguration ceremony was just a simple one.

The only people who attended were the top brass of the Navy Headquarters and some of Jinan’s friends.

This was Jin An's initiative request; he didn't want to be in the spotlight.

However, the inauguration ceremony of the Vice Admiral of the Naval Headquarters still attracted many reporters.

As countless reporters took photos and recorded, reports about Jinan flew far away via news birds.

Many people who had received favors from Jin'an took to the streets with newspapers and cheered enthusiastically.

on the newspaper.

Jin An, dressed in military uniform, stood in the middle of a group of naval leaders, talking enthusiastically with the people around him with a smile on his face.

Behind them.

The huge word "Justice" shines brightly in the sun.
