#12 - Chapter 12 Training Space
In the ship cabin returning to base.
Jin An silently recited in his heart and opened the training space.
The space changed, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in an unfamiliar place.
[Please select training content]
Jin An pondered slightly, deciding to continue honing his physique. Quantitative change would always lead to qualitative change. He refused to believe he couldn't break through 80 points.
Haki couldn't be trained for the time being. Although he knew the training process, he didn't have a teacher like Luffy who could guide him by the side.
Unless he could meet someone proficient in Haki, the training space could generate a copy. That copy would possess all of the original's training experience and could also serve as a sparring partner.
That's how he learned Shave and Finger Pistol.
Unfortunately, he was currently in the South Blue, where people proficient in Haki were rare, let alone those with Devil Fruit abilities.
No sooner said than done. After Jin An decided to train his physique, the training space automatically changed the scene to a small island. The island was filled with a dazzling array of training equipment, and there was even a dedicated arena-like area for sparring with simulated characters.
[Your physical talent is too abnormal. The system will correspondingly increase the training volume]
[All items have been upgraded to the limit you can currently adapt to]
Without this system, Jin An felt that he would probably reach his peak (referring to physique) at the start, and it would be difficult to continue improving later.
Other skills could be improved with time, but after eating the Azure Dragon Fruit, ordinary training was no longer effective for him.
Jin An didn't dawdle and wholeheartedly devoted himself to training.
......
In reality, two hours passed.
Having finished his training time, Jin An walked to the deck. The Marine base was close at hand.
"Major Jin An, Vice Admiral Sengoku wants to see you."
Kuzan, holding a military Den Den Mushi, hurriedly ran towards Jin An.
"Uh, can you answer it for me? Just say I'm not here..."
Jin An got a headache when he saw the Den Den Mushi with the frog glasses. Whenever this phone rang, it was never good news.
Perhaps because they were both from the South Blue, that old man Sengoku had somehow taken notice of him.
Although the two had never met, they had interacted quite a few times.
"But... this is the third time......" Kuzan said weakly.
Jin An waved his hand, "So what if it's the third time? Just say I'm not here..."
"I already used that excuse when he called the second time," Kuzan said with a long face.
Jin An was a little strange: "Why would he call a third time if you already said that?"
That guy Sengoku usually only called twice at most. Every time, he could get away with this excuse. Could there really be something urgent?
"I misspoke earlier... he said you must answer the third call..." Kuzan's voice became smaller and smaller, knowing he had done something wrong.
"It's okay, give me the Den Den Mushi."
Knowing he couldn't avoid it, Jin An took the Den Den Mushi from Kuzan and walked towards the cabin.
"Finally made time to pay attention to me? Major Jin An."
The expected furious roar didn't happen. The Den Den Mushi faithfully portrayed Sengoku's sarcastic expression.
"I thought that after you became a Major, you looked down on me, a Marine HQ Vice Admiral. Do you want me to just let you sit in my position!!!"
Jin An rolled his eyes. This sounded like an old sarcastic person......
"Do you have me in your eyes when you do this..."
"Do you have the Marine regulations in your eyes??"
Sengoku became more and more angry. The Den Den Mushi's saliva was about to spray on Jin An's face...
Silently moving the Den Den Mushi further away from him...
At Marine HQ, Sengoku saw Jin An's disgusted expression through the Den Den Mushi. His fists hardened...
What Jin An didn't notice was that Kuzan and several other Marines were eavesdropping at the door, with gloating expressions on their faces.
The Major was caught slacking off again.
"You guy..." Sengoku helplessly supported his forehead, "When you come to Marineford to be conferred your rank, see how I..."
Jin An picked his ears. He had heard this sentence no less than three times. His ears were getting calluses...
You should keep your word and quickly promote me. You're just making empty promises all day...
(The same position in the Marine HQ and branches has a difference in authority and status of half a grade or more)
In the room, the conversation between the two finally reached the main point.
"Leonard, who was previously in charge of South Blue affairs, has reached his age."
"We've decided to choose someone to temporarily replace his position. You can recommend some people to me."
Jin An, who was originally sitting upright, sank back into the soft sofa and took a sip of water from the table.
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Jin An thought he was going to be promoted...
After all that, he was still just a working stiff...
"This is a major matter and definitely needs to be considered carefully."
Sengoku's lips trembled as he tried to calm his mood. This guy was completely unwilling to act without seeing a profit.
"I suggest that I take over this mess," Jin An recommended himself without hesitation.
"......"
"You kid, are you even listening to what I'm saying!!! We need to investigate! Do you understand investigation!"
Finally unable to bear it, Sengoku flew into a rage, grabbed the Den Den Mushi, and started ranting.
The sheep eating paper next to him was startled and quickly swallowed the paper in its mouth.
"This is a notice. A list will be sent to you in a moment. You better investigate it properly for me!"
'Bru...'
The Den Den Mushi, which was just spraying saliva, suddenly went silent. Sengoku couldn't stand Jin An and hung up directly.
He vowed to try to resolve matters with this kid in one sentence in the future.
Otherwise, he estimated that he would die young......
"Hahaha, Sengoku, you were defeated by that kid Jin An again," a hearty laugh came from outside the office.
Without waiting for Sengoku to answer, the person walked straight in, picked up the senbei placed on the table, and ate it heartily.
Sengoku directly put on a mask of pain. After dealing with the small one, the old one came here to cause trouble.
"Get out of here!"
"Put down the senbei. I haven't even eaten a bite!"
Sometimes, he really wanted to grab a knife and chop someone......
The two were still arguing there. The Marine on guard didn't dare to say a word, for fear that he couldn't hold back his laughter.
Before Karp left, he glanced at a file on the desk.
Name: Jin An
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Devil Fruit Ability: Suspected Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form
Experience: Appeared in the Sorbet Kingdom with Bartholomew Kuma 4 years ago and joined the Marines half a year later
......
"Hanging up the phone like that, he really can't take a joke..."
Jin An wiped the saliva off his face. He had always been a five-good youth who cared for his elders.
Seeing Sengoku on the Den Den Mushi's side with a straight face, he kindly helped him relax, but he ran away after only a few words.
"Ah~ It's hard to be a good person..."
The people outside the door stared at each other, when did the Major become a good person?
How come they didn't know anything...
"As expected of Major Jin An, secretly doing good deeds when we don't know."
"That's right, next time for the top ten good people, I will definitely bring my wife and vote for Major Jin An!"
Kuzan silently moved a little further away from the others. He always felt a chill down his spine when these people spoke.
Although he wasn't very clear about what the "good deeds" Major Jin An was talking about were, he still knew, after being with Jin An for a long time, that this "good deed" was not a good deed.
