The first time, the first time.

Marine Headquarters, Marinford.

"So Drought Jack was kidnapped by Kaido?"

In the office of the Navy Admiral, Sengoku, Kizaru sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and elegantly trimmed his nails with a file.

"That's right, Marshal Sengoku." Kizaru raised his eyebrows and looked at the serious Sengoku from above the frame of his sunglasses. Seeing that there was no other expression on his face, he blew the fine crumbs on his nails and pouted his lips: "That's the Four Emperors Kaido, known as the strongest creature on land, sea and air. I risked my life to stop the crazy Kaido and repel him, and there were no casualties in the navy!"

Speaking of this, Kizaru raised his index finger to express that this was the key point.

"Then I..."

"No bonus, no salary increase." Sengoku's cold words came.

As soon as Kizaru said "fighting for his life", Sengoku knew what Kizaru was going to say next, and interrupted Kizaru's spell.

Kizaru curled his lips and looked at his delicate fingernails again.

"So, Lacus's ability can really increase the combat power of the ability user?" Sengoku was not entangled in the matter of Drought Jack. As Kizaru said, that was Kaido, the Four Emperors who was known as the strongest creature on land, sea and air. It was the best case that Kizaru could get away without casualties. You know, if Kaido, the madman, gets angry, it is not impossible for him to rush to the Marine Headquarters alone.

Before Kaido can be dealt with, it is not a problem to keep Drought Jack locked up. The madman may fall from the sky and hit the headquarters or the city directly.

"It's not a person with special abilities, it's my Shining Fruit~" Kizaru rubbed his nails seriously: "I can feel that the energy contains extremely pure light power, to some extent, it's purer than my Shining Fruit."

Kizaru put away the dwarf and put it in his exquisite little box, looking at Sengoku seriously.

"If Aokiji was hit by that beam, the ice on his body would be melted in an instant, and he might get hurt."

Sengoku was silent for a while after hearing Kizaru's evaluation. He didn't expect Lacus's ability to be so strong, and the two girls attached to Garen were not ordinary people!

I got it, my navy got it!

"Then..." Kizaru interrupted Sengoku. This old guy looked serious and secretly happy.

"Why don't you transfer Lux to my command? I will definitely train her with all my strength."

Zhan Guo stared at Kizaru in shock. In his mind, he instantly saw Lacus wearing a coat of justice, bending over, wearing sunglasses, walking with a figure eight step, saying "Kowawa" all the time, walking into the office and sitting on the sofa, rubbing his nails and asking for a raise.

Zhan Guo shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, Lux's own ability is very strong, and she must be trained with emphasis."

"What can be compared to the emphasis on training a general?" Kizaru curled his lips in disdain. After all, I am a general, and my ability to educate must not be very bad.

"And her ability is similar to mine. No matter how you look at it, I am the most suitable candidate." Kizaru stared at Zhan Guo closely: "Marshal Zhan Guo, you don't have any opinion on me, do you?"

Zhan Guo: Of course I have an opinion on you, I have a big opinion on you! ! You slack off in front of me every day, and you want a raise when you come back from work. What's wrong, am I at a disadvantage to you? I'll leave it to you to lead. Look at the generals under you. If they weren't as shabby as you, they would be exactly the same as you! I finally saw the light of hope for the navy, and I must not let you lead me astray.

Of course, these words were only spoken by Sengoku in his heart, and he must not say them out loud.

Just as Sengoku was thinking about how to fool Kizaru, the office door was pushed open again.

"Why, why did I hear that Admiral Kizaru wanted to poach people from me?" The one who came in was the former flower of the navy, Vice Admiral Crane. She knew that Lacus's ability could enhance Kizaru's combat power, but she didn't expect it to be so strong that it could knock Kaido away. You know, this kind of single-handed defeat is not Kizaru's combat style.

This kind of power can make Kizaru make up for Kizaru's biggest shortcoming.

When she heard about this matter and Kizaru had come to report to Sengoku, Crane immediately rushed to Sengoku's office.

If Lacus was handed over to Kizaru, wouldn't such a good seedling be led astray? What a good girl, polite, capable, humble and good at

Study, don't let Kizaru lead you astray!

"Stop talking, Vice Admiral Tsuru. I didn't say that, but I believe you've heard about Lacus. I will definitely train her with all my strength, and it's a good thing to be able to strengthen my ability."

Of course it's a good thing, but the only thing I'm afraid of is that you have to train her with all your strength! If you don't train them with all your strength, the guys under you have become almost exactly like you. If you train them with all your strength, what will happen!!!

"Lacus is under my command, and I will train her with all my strength. If necessary, she can follow General Kizaru on a mission." Tsuru said seriously, and then glanced at Sengoku.

What are you still standing there for, Lao Deng, hurry up and make a decision!

"Ahem, then let's do as Xiaohe said, and this matter is settled." Sengoku coughed and put an end to the matter.

"Wow~ Too strong, Marshal Sengoku, Vice Admiral Tsuru!" Kizaru looked at Sengoku in shock: "That is to say, I went for nothing and fought with Kaido this time. Even if I didn't have any credit, I still worked hard. I did seriously injure Kaido!"

Sengoku pinched his brows with a headache: "Here, give, give you a bonus."

No matter how slow Sengoku was, he could see that Kizaru was here for the bonus. He specifically brought up the matter of Lacus. He also knew that Sengoku would not let Lacus follow him. Besides, Kizaru himself didn't want to bring a newcomer: trouble!

First, bringing it up was to attract Sengoku's attention.

Second, he could bring Lacus with him when he went on a mission in the future, which was also a benefit.

Third, it was to add a bargaining chip in the process of asking for the bonus next time.

"Thank you so much, Marshal Sengoku. That's fine. I'll go back first."

Satisfied Kizaru took a zigzag step and was about to push the door out.

The ruthless voice of Zhan Guo came from behind: "Increase by two hundred."

Kizaru turned around in shock: No way, Sir, so stingy?

"Close the door." Looking at Huang Yuan standing at the door, Zhan Guo said expressionlessly: Can't I control you, little guy?

...

"Why do I feel that this guy seems to have become smarter?" Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Kizaru who pushed the door out, and he had already reacted. He had calculated the two smartest people in the Navy Headquarters at once. Was Kizaru so smart before?

"As long as it's related to salary or bonus, this guy is always very smart." Zhan Guo also felt a headache for Kizaru: "Didn't you see that his work attitude is even more popular than Sakaski in front of the Five Elders... Forget it."

Zhan Guo turned his attention to Vice Admiral Tsuru: "How is the investigation of the identities of Garen and the other two going?"

"Nothing has been found." Tsuru shook his head and said solemnly: "These three people seem to have appeared out of thin air, and all the clues can only be traced back to their sudden appearance in Alabasta."

"As for what happened before Alabasta, nothing can be found. Even about the place Demacia that they accidentally revealed, there is no clue at all. Even among the countries that have disappeared, there is no such country."

Zhan Guo fell silent. Among the three admirals now, Akainu is too extreme, Aokiji is too confused, and as for Kizaru, people around him don't know what he is thinking at all. It feels like he is just here to get a salary. He wants to train Garen to be the successor of the navy, with strength, ideas, no pedantry and persistence.

But the biggest problem is his mysterious origin.

It's not just Garen, Poppy and Lux ​​also have mysterious origins.

The three people's clothes and weapons have obvious similar style characteristics, and they all have powerful and special powers different from domineering or devil fruit abilities. These all show that they are indeed from the same place, which is probably the mysterious country they mentioned inadvertently-Demacia.

So where is Demacia?

A mysterious country that does not exist in any known place on the sea, and does not even exist in known history. Where is it? Why is it hidden, and why did it reappear on the sea?

Zhan Guo's fingers kept tapping on the desk. After a long time, he instructed Vice Admiral Crane.

"Xiao He, don't check this matter for now."

"I understand. Do you want to call Garen now? I am also interested in this mysterious country."

"Okay."

Zhan Guo intends to ask Garen directly. He gave Garen the right to choose, which is also his trust in Garen.

Not long after, Marshal Zhan Guo's office was knocked again, and then a tall and strong man wearing a coat of justice and carrying a huge sword walked in.

"Marshal, Lieutenant General He." Garen bowed to Zhan Guo and He after entering the door.

Zhan Guo pushed a cup of tea over and motioned Garen to sit on the chair opposite the desk

, staring at Garen through his round glasses, he said in a deep voice: "Garen, I want to train you to be the new successor of the Navy."

"Marshal, I..."

Zhan Guo waved his hand, interrupting what Garen wanted to say, "It's just training. As for whether you can sit in that position, it depends on the intention of the World Government and the reputation among the Navy generals. You still have a long way to go."

"But there is a question that needs to be clarified before that."

"Garen, where are you from?"

Zhan Guo's voice fell, and the whole conference room fell silent.

"The next leader of the Navy can have different justices, but it must not be a person of unknown origin."

Garen frowned, and then he was relieved, and Zhan Guo was willing to ask him openly, which also explained a lot.

"I'm from Demacia." Garen took a breath and slowly said the words that shocked Zhan Guo and He.

"Demacia is a country that no longer exists in this world. It is a special world, or an independent world. When Demacia disappeared, some people came out of there, including me, Poppy, and Lux."

"Can you go back there?"

"No." Garen shook his head.

"Who else came out of there?"

"I don't know. So far, all the Demacians I have seen are Poppy and Lux, and from the perspective of time, we did not appear in this world at the same time."

"What does your appearance have to do with Alabasta?" Crane asked the question in his heart.

"Alabasta?"

"Yes, all of you appeared in this world from Alabasta. If what you said is true, you came out from Demacia when it disappeared. Assuming that you came out because there is a passage, then this passage is likely to be in Alabasta."

"I don't know the details, but we did appear near Alabasta, but not in the same place. Poppy appeared on a merchant ship, and I appeared in the desert of Alabasta." Garen shook his head, frowned and thought for a while, and said to Zhan Guo as if he had made up his mind: "However, there is a god in Alabasta."

"God?"

"Yes, the existence called God in Demacia is not a devil fruit ability user, and it is not even considered a human. It has supreme power and even exists beyond history."

"Do you know what it is?"

Garen shook his head: "The existence of gods is not fixed, and it is not even tangible. If they don't want to appear, no one can find them."

Zhan Guo fell silent, staring at Garen with a serious face.

After a moment, he nodded and said, "I understand. For the time being, we will not investigate the gods of Alabasta. As a navy, we still have to maintain the stability of the sea first. Since you can't go back, just stay in the navy for now."

"Yes, Marshal Sengoku, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Yeah."

Garen saluted Sengoku and left the office.

"How is it?" Crane sat on the sofa and spoke slowly.

"It's the truth, but he deliberately revealed the gods of Alabasta. The purpose should be to protect Alabasta." Sengoku glanced at the closed office door and suddenly laughed: "This guy, he also defended me."

Crane nodded aside, "I don't think he lied. I think I can understand Alabasta. After all, Garen and Poppy were introduced to the navy by the royal family of Alabasta, and Lacus was also sent by Alabasta. I guess she received the favor of the royal family of Alabasta during this period."

Sengoku nodded, "The most important thing is that Alabasta Tan will not stand against the World Government, let alone the Navy. And His Majesty Cobra can be trusted. "

He nodded: "What about Garen?"

"First add him to the list of key training, but we still need to observe him for a while. I'll have to trouble you to pay more attention to Poppy and Lux."

"I understand."

...

The breeze blew in Garen's ears as he walked out of the door, lifting a strand of hair from his temples. He breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he quite liked the Navy: everyone here is talented and speaks well.
