#277 - Chapter 277 You should be quiet recently
“You should take it easy recently. Coincidentally, Kizaru has a mission, so you should go and assist him.”
Sengoku thought for a moment and said to Jin An.
He originally thought that Kizaru, who slacked off all day, was a typical example of someone who took a salary without doing anything.
But compared to Jin An, Kizaru seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
Jin An was slightly stunned, then touched his chin and said thoughtfully:
“I remember Kizaru mentioned the Navy Science Unit to me. Is this what you want me to assist with?”
Sengoku raised his eyebrows slightly, unexpectedly Kizaru would even tell Jin An about this in advance.
It seems that their relationship is quite good.
This made Sengoku even more convinced that cultivating Jin An as a successor might be the wisest choice they had ever made.
Sengoku nodded, his tone a bit affirmative,
“Yes, the Navy Science Unit has some important research projects that need manpower recently. You go to assist Kizaru, on the one hand, to help, and on the other hand, to learn new things.”
Jin An smiled, revealing a hint of interest,
“Sounds good, I also want to know about the Navy Science Unit.”
Sengoku smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in his eyes,
“Do a good job, Jin An.”
“Remember, the Navy needs all-round improvement, not only combat power, but also technology and management.”
Jin An nodded, “Understood, I will do my best.”
Sengoku patted Jin An on the shoulder, signaling him to communicate well with Kizaru during this period.
Jin An stood up, suddenly remembering something, and turned around to ask:
“By the way, what is Kizaru's specific mission?”
Sengoku smiled, a hint of mystery flashed in his eyes,
“You will naturally know when you get there. The things you come into contact with there should broaden your knowledge.”
After speaking, Sengoku thought for a moment and decided to say one thing,
“The Beasts Pirates have fallen apart because of what happened before. You experienced this personally.”
Jin An nodded to confirm what Sengoku said.
Sengoku paused and continued,
“Kaido went to Totto Land after fleeing from Wano Country.”
Jin An frowned, “Totto Land?”
The figures of Big Mom and Kaido appeared in his mind. Are these two guys preparing to join forces?
In his impression, Big Mom and Kaido would quarrel when they met.
Although these two people belonged to the same pirate group, their relationship had not been very good...
Jin An turned his gaze to Sengoku, waiting for his further explanation.
Sengoku nodded, his expression grave,
“Yes, the two of them have joined forces, and they seem to have the intention to directly contact the King!”
Jin An couldn't stand still for a moment and paced back and forth in the office.
He hadn't taken these pirates to heart, because he knew that these pirates had pride in their hearts and didn't accept each other, but now these two guys have actually joined forces.
This was completely beyond his expectations.
“We must be on guard…”
Jin An rubbed his eyebrows, his expression solemn.
“So this time you go to the Science Unit, remember to have a good relationship with those people. The research there will be very beneficial to your future development.”
Sengoku emphasized again.
Jin An lowered his head to think. His impression of the Science Unit was only Pacifista, and he didn't know much else.
Faced with Sengoku's instructions, he nodded solemnly, “I will.”
Jin An shook his head helplessly, then smiled wryly and left Sengoku's office.
After leaving Sengoku's office, Jin An's mood was still a bit heavy.
Walking in the corridor of the Marine Headquarters, his mood was no longer as relaxed as when he came.
Although Sengoku was a bit strict with him, he knew it was for his own good.
And now, with a new mission, he also had a new goal.
He knew that the situation on the sea was changing rapidly, and every move of the pirates could affect the future direction.
He strolled along the streets of the Marine Headquarters, slowly returning to his residence, while his eyes were deep and his mind was constantly thinking about the next plan.
“A union…”
He muttered to himself, a trace of unease rising in his heart.
What does the union of Kaido and Big Mom mean?
What kind of threat will it pose to the Navy and the World Government?
These questions flooded his mind like a tide.
Jin An had always been wary of Kaido.
This guy's brutality and tenacity are well-known. He can become one of the “Four Emperors” and is definitely not living on reputation.
Jin An originally thought that the previous battle was enough to make Kaido restrain himself for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party would make such a big move during this period.
Jin An stood in front of the window, looking at the distant horizon, secretly calculating in his heart.
“Kaido… he will never let me go easily.”
His brow furrowed slightly, a trace of haze flashing in his eyes.
Based on his understanding of Kaido, the other party would never give up after suffering a loss.
Moreover, Kaido is extremely vengeful, and the other party's first target will definitely be him.
Thinking of this, a sense of urgency rose in Jin An's heart.
The current team in his hands, one is in the Four Seas, and the other is in the G-5 Branch.
The troops in the Four Seas are scattered and cannot form a strong defense in a short time, while the G-5 Branch is strong in combat power, but its geographical location is remote, and support will be very difficult in the event of a surprise attack.
Jin An turned from the window and began to pace in the room, thinking about countermeasures.
He knew that he could not sit still and wait for death, he must take the initiative to attack.
At this time, he thought of some allies and friends in the Navy, maybe they could provide some help.
“I must mobilize manpower as soon as possible and strengthen the defense.”
He whispered to himself, a flash of determination in his eyes.
He took out the Den Den Mushi and quickly dialed a series of numbers,
“This is Jin An, I need you to start acting immediately.”
"......"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi,
“Vice Admiral Jin An, we have received instructions and will act immediately.”
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Jin An took a deep breath, walked to the table, and spread out a map.
The map marked the locations of various bases and troops. He gently swiped his fingers across the map, carefully studying every detail.
“If Kaido really wants to do it, where will he choose as a breakthrough?” He muttered to himself, his mind rapidly analyzing various possibilities.
However, he also knew that the union of two large pirate groups was not so easy, and it would take some time to integrate.
And this time is the key period for the Navy to deploy its troops.
As a member of the Navy, he must remain calm.
And what exactly is Kizaru's mission?
What exactly is the Navy Science Unit researching?
These questions filled Jin An's heart with anticipation and doubt.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and looked towards the second half of the Grand Line.
