Chapter 615: The Path Chosen by the Traitor! (2 in 1)

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi carefully flipped through the information about Yamato in his hands, and a look of distress appeared on his face.

Zefa also saw the look on Jiguo Yuanyi's face at this time, and couldn't help but become curious, and asked:

"Yuichi, you seem to be in a dilemma."

"What's wrong? I just asked you to speed up the selection process and not keep Tom waiting for too long. I don't think you need to show such an expression, right?"

Zefa joked with a smile that since Yunyi came back, the old man has smiled a lot more often.

"It's not about Tom."

"Teacher Zefa, do you have any impression of this young man?"

As he was talking, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi handed the information in his hand to Zephyr. Curious Zephyr took it and flipped through a few pages. He didn't find anything unusual in Yamato's information, and then a look of doubt appeared on his face:

“Yamato!”

"I have heard of him. He is a very outstanding young man."

"She is a rare female sailor in our new naval system."

"Strong, resolute, and impetuous, just like a boy."

"His devil fruit ability is also a rare mythical beast devil fruit, and he is an orphan. I remember that he was sent here by the 'Expectation Class' in Dressrosa."

Obviously, the female navy Yamato had left a deep impression in Zephyr's mind. He didn't even need to look up any information, as Zephyr casually said a lot of information about Yamato.

"Orphans? The expected class over at Dressrosa?"

The information about Yamato in the file does not include his background. The above information is all about Yamato's experience after joining the new navy.

This was the first time that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni knew the information that Zefa said.

When Yoriichirō heard that Yamato was sent from the Navy's prospecting class in Dressrosa, he was quite surprised.

The so-called Navy prospective class is actually an orphanage funded and built by their new navy. After the new navy headquarters in Dressrosa moved, the base left there was transformed into a comprehensive facility of school + orphanage.

The purpose of building an orphanage is actually to provide a safe environment for children who have lost their parents to grow up in. There are too many orphans in this ocean. If there are no formal institutions to shelter these people, there will be countless children who will be abducted, starved to death, or become criminals in the future.

If you want to completely drive out pirates, it is far from enough to just form a strong army to fight them.

The new navy must find a way to improve the soil so that pirates cannot grow in this environment.

Only in this way can the influence of pirates be eliminated to the minimum one day. Of course, complete extinction is impossible. As long as humans have desires, pirates will continue to appear.

Being able to effectively curb the emergence of pirates and reduce their influence as much as possible is no longer a human-made thing.

Yamato is the daughter of Kaido, the King of Beasts. Tsugakuin Yoshimoto originally thought that the child would be raised by Kaido on some unknown island, but he did not expect that Kaido's daughter would actually live under the nose of the New Navy.

He even joined the new navy for a time, and made some contributions in the new navy, entering the vision of the top leaders.

Daughter of Kaido, the Beast.
It is impossible to say that Tsugikoku Yoshiichi has no doubts about Yamato's identity. But one thing that cannot be denied is that Yamato's talent is indeed very outstanding, and she is very young and has great potential. If she is trained properly, she will definitely be an important pillar of the new navy in the future.

Even for a force like the New Navy, which is full of powerful people, it is not an easy task to cultivate a young pillar-type strong man.

This kind of personnel is often hard to come by. The Marine Headquarters under the World Government has been established for so many years. Even at its peak, not counting the old and declining veterans, the number of admiral-level combat power possessed by the headquarters would probably not exceed one handful.

It was precisely because Tsugumi Yoshiichi saw the terrifying potential of the child Yamato that Tsugumi Yoshiichi fell into a dilemma.

If his talent was not that outstanding, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi would not want to take any risks at all.

But if the talent reaches Yamato's level, it's worth the gamble.

Just like how the Navy Headquarters treated Yoshiichi Tsugakuni back then, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, who had just joined the Navy, used his talent to gain recognition from all the senior officials. In fact, as early as when Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was in his teens, he had already shown signs of rebelling against the Celestial Dragons.

In the history of the navy, only a very small number of troublemakers would take action against the CP, the world government's direct intelligence agency, and those headquarters navy officers who took action against CP agents, without exception, ended up dead.

The only one who had killed CP0 and the Knights of God was Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, and he even served as a navy admiral for a period of time.

The reason why the top leaders of the headquarters protected Yoshiichi Tsugakuni so much at that time was, on the one hand, because he had a very good relationship with Garp, Zephyr and others, and on the other hand, an important reason was that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's talent and strength were terrifying enough, and he was being trained by the top leaders of the headquarters to be a marshal.

Although Tsugakuin Yoshiichi later embarked on a path that went against the will of those naval high-ranking officials, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's influence on the world was in line with the expectations of the high-ranking officials at the time, but this influence was not bestowed on their naval headquarters.
Yunichi is not sure whether Yamato will be able to reach the level of Yunichi now in the future, but what is certain is that within ten years, the new navy will be able to train Yamato into an admiral-level force.

The general-level combat power is also the top combat power in today's world.

"Yamato's background is clean, and his strength and talent are unquestionable."

"In terms of combat power, neither Zoro nor Kuina can compare to her."

"Come to think of it, when you were planning to form a young team to go out to sea for training, I thought of Yamato."

"Although she is 22 years old, she is not too old. She has carried out many missions over the years and is not a newcomer."

"But I suggest you put her in there. If the whole ship is full of young people who have no experience at sea, I would be a little worried. It would be a good thing to have an older and more experienced young person to assist you."

Zephyr admires the young man Yamato very much. He has no idea that Yamato is the daughter of Kaido, the King of Beasts, and that Yamato is of the bloodline of pirates.

Zefa, who has always been fair, is just discussing the matter at this moment.

Zefa's words also made Ji Guoyuan waver at the beginning.

"Is this Yamato at the headquarters?"

"I want to see this child with my own eyes."

Ji Guoyuan hesitated for a moment and made up his mind.

No matter whose daughter Yamato is, Tsugikuni Yoriichi cannot deny Yamato's own value and her achievements in establishing the new navy.

If Yamato's purpose of joining the new navy was not pure, and he wanted to take revenge in this way, then Tsugikuni Yoshiichi would not mind giving the other party a chance to fight with him.

Prior to this, Yamato's status as the new navy officer would not be revoked because of her origin.

If she grew up in an orphanage in Dressrosa, then she herself is innocent, and that is enough.
"Did you see it in person?"

"Well, it's no problem. There won't be any problem with this Yamato kid."

"She's not a gossipy person either."

Zefa was also a little surprised to hear that Jigoku Yoshiichi was planning to meet Yamato in person. He didn't expect Jigoku Yoshiichi to have noticed Yamato's talent just by looking through the information and to attach so much importance to this young man.

What Zefa didn't know was that Tsugikoku Yoriichi didn't judge Yamato's character based on the information.
In autumn, the fragrance of osmanthus and the smell of cream on the cake island blend together. The intoxicating fragrance makes the new navy officers on the island work more efficiently.
The windows of Ji Guoyuan's office were wide open, and the cool breeze carrying the fragrance flowed into the room.

In front of the desk, a female navy officer in a school officer's uniform and with a long sword at her waist was making eye contact with Yuichi Tsugikoku behind the desk, with expressions of excitement and cheer on their faces.

"Yamato, can you tell me why you want to join the new navy?" The female navy standing in front of Tsugakuin's desk at this time is Yamato, the daughter of Kaido, the King of Beasts.

The new navy's officer uniform is very slim-fitting. The young Yamato has an upright posture and looks very heroic, which actually gives Tsugakuni Yoshiichi a very decent feeling. The first impression left in Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's mind is quite good.

Yamato's sword is a rare two-handed sword. Yamato, who is nearly 260cm tall, gives people a strong sense of oppression when carrying such a long sword. His momentum is not weakened by his overly delicate and beautiful appearance.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi raised his head slightly, looked at Yamato in front of him, and asked.

Hearing Tsugakuni Yoriichi's question, Yamato's breathing became a little rapid. Realizing that he was a little nervous, Yamato closed his eyes and adjusted his emotions a little before answering Tsugakuni Yoriichi solemnly:

"Mr. Tsugikoku Yuichi!"

"It's because of you that I chose to join the new navy. You are the idol that we have admired since we were young!"

Instead of hearing any routine answers like "for justice", Yamato started to flatter Tsugakuni Yoriichi without any scruples.

But the strange thing is that under the perception of Tsugakuin Yoriichi's observation Haki, Tsugakuin Yoriichi actually found that what Yamato said was true.
This perception made Jiguo Yuanyi feel a little embarrassed.

The young man was flattering him in front of him, but Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was not thick-skinned enough to accept it calmly.

"An idol to worship?"

"It really is. Some special answers."

"Yamato, you already know about the Rising Star Project, right?"

"Your talent, potential, and the hard work and contributions you have made since joining the new navy have all been noticed by the senior management."

"And that's why you are one of the candidates for the Rising Star Program."

"I also told you clearly that the Rising Star Program is to select future successors."

"All the selected people, if they grow as expected after returning, will become the successors of the new navy in the future."

"For this reason, we have strict identity checks on all candidates."

"Yamato, you are no exception."

As Tsugikoku Yoshiichi spoke, he carefully observed Yamato's expression.

However, the young Yamato looked calm and was not affected at all by what Tsugikuni Yoshiichi said. Instead, he nodded slightly, as if he was listening attentively.

"."

"Doesn't this kid understand what's going on?"

When Jiguo Yuanyi saw Yamato's expression, he sighed softly and continued:

"Yamato, who is your father?"

After hearing this, the expression on Yamato's face changed slightly, and the look of attentive listening turned into a look of confusion.

"my father."

Distant memories were evoked. At this moment, Yamato's hands were clearly empty, but suddenly, Yamato saw a pair of heavy shackles handcuffed on his hands.

The trauma Yamato suffered in his childhood was brought up again when Jigoku Yoshiichi mentioned his father. When Yamato thought of the dark cave, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes.

As his memory recalled, Yamato saw a bright and warm light suddenly appear in the darkness.

【Kaido. Lord Kaido was killed! 】

【.】

[The New Navy has attacked the Hive, go and fight them. ]

A series of voices rang in Yamato's ears. Yamato had already forgotten who was saying these words in her ear at that time. What she still remembered was that when the door of the dungeon was opened, a group of young new navy officers in uniforms came into view.

When Jiguoyuan saw that Yamato was lost in thought, he didn't intend to urge him.

The sunlight poured into the house over the windowsill and onto Yamato's body, making her feel warm. The familiar fragrance in the air also brought Yamato back to reality.

She has joined the new navy for several years and has long regarded this place as her home.

Life in the new navy is very fulfilling, and Yamato is moving towards his dream step by step.

Father? !
If it wasn't for Jiguoyuan mentioning it at this time, Yamato would not have remembered that person at all.

She has no way to choose what kind of father she has, but she can choose what kind of future she will have.

The figure of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi in front of him became clearer and clearer. Seeing the person he had always admired sitting in front of him, Yamato also showed a relieved smile on his face:
"Report, my father is Kaido, the Beast, a pirate."

"But Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, the reason why I chose to join the new navy is because it is the path I chose!"

"I joined the new navy because I admired you. I want to follow the same path as you."

"For this reason, no matter how the headquarters intends to deal with me, I will always be a new navy officer until the moment I stop breathing."

The more he understood his feelings, the smile on Yamato's face became brighter.

In front of Tsugumi Yoriichi, Taiga spoke his mind without hiding anything.

When these somewhat childish words came out of Yamato's mouth, a serious look appeared on Yoriichi's face.

Tsugikuni Yoshiichirō could feel that the emotions expressed by Yamato at this moment were real. This child must be full of hatred for his father, so much so that when he faced the enemy who killed his father, he would reveal such emotions.

To be honest, Tsugumi Yuichiro has no way to empathize with the suffering of Yamato's original family.

But he understands pirates.

Yamato, who grew up in a pirate den, will either become a pirate like Kaido, or hate pirates more than anyone else.

"Yamato, I understand your thoughts."

"Congratulations, you have passed my interview and officially become a part of the Rising Star Program."

Yamato's statement also made Tsugikoku Yoriichi no longer hesitate.

It is rare to have some light in a dark life, and Yoriichi Tsugakuni will not close the door in front of Yamato because of Kaido.
