#28 - Chapter 28: Hard Overtime Life
"Captain Jin An, are you getting off work?"
Kuzan glanced at the sky outside the window, the sun was still hanging high.
Jin An was a little embarrassed, he was caught red-handed for sneaking away, "Kuzan, my clothes are still drying at home, I need to go back and collect them, otherwise it would be a pity if they were blown away by the wind."
"That's a powerful reason..." Kuzan didn't know how to complain about his superior.
"But, I already asked Shanks to pack them up for you."
Kuzan pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, thankfully he was prepared.
"I also have other things to take care of..." Jin An tried to make a final struggle.
Kuzan helplessly covered his forehead, he must have had terrible luck to end up with such a boss, "Captain, have you finished processing your documents?"
"Al... almost..." Jin An thought of the pile of documents still piled high on his desk, his scalp tingling.
Kuzan's forehead popped a vein, his tone became stern: "Then you can't leave, you can only leave when you're done."
He hated that Jin An didn't live up to his potential. Jin An was clearly only in his 20s, with a bright future, why did he live like someone about to retire, being idle all day long.
"Actually, someone came to report to me just now... I wanted to deal with that matter." Jin An had a flash of inspiration and thought of an excuse.
"I already understand that matter, the people going there are already on the road." Kuzan stated the facts ruthlessly.
Jin An weakly muttered, "I'm the commander..."
Kuzan stated the fact: "People in the base can't see you a few times a month..."
Jin An was completely controlled by Kuzan, how could he, the highest person in charge, be like this...
In fact, in the base, Kuzan was completely the number one person under Jin An, handling things fairly and impartially, with abilities and strength that were impeccable.
But in fact, Kuzan himself didn't want this, it was all forced out by Jin An.
"If your younger siblings knew..." Kuzan's words were a sure kill.
Jin An raised both hands in surrender, "Understood!"
Jin An, who re-entered the office, couldn't muster any energy at all.
"That Kuzan... I'll write it down in my little notebook first, and wait until later... hehehe." Jin An grinned sinisterly.
Kuzan, who was in another office, suddenly felt a chill and shivered.
"That Jin An is talking bad about me again."
He was already used to this strange reaction in his body, ever since he came under Jin An's command, he had to shiver once a day.
......
"Buru buru... Buru buru..."
Before Jin An could be happy after finishing the documents, the call from the Den Den Mushi he carried suddenly rang.
Jin An took out the Den Den Mushi from his pocket and connected the communication.
"Hello, this is Jin An."
As soon as he connected, Garp's loud voice came from the Den Den Mushi: "Hahahaha, guess who I am."
"Vice Admiral Garp, are you calling to settle the food expenses you took away earlier?" Jin An asked directly.
"Ha... ha?" Garp couldn't laugh anymore, "Nonsense! Those things were clearly a gift from you, I took them according to what you said, 'take whatever you want'."
"Take whatever you want and then empty my warehouse, right?" Jin An said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about these, Vice Admiral Garp, what's the matter with the Den Den Mushi call?"
"Why do you say that, can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?" Garp was a little unconvinced.
"......"
Jin An rolled his eyes, how could you not be...
Every time it's just him playing by himself, and he only remembers others when there are troublesome things.
"Why aren't you talking, in your eyes, am I really that kind of person!" Garp blew his beard and glared, "Forget it, I won't talk about these with you, let's talk about something serious first."
"Tell me straight what's the matter." He knew it, he was indeed looking for him for something...
"Cough..." Garp cleared his throat, "That guy Dragon has already set off for the South Blue, I hope you can discipline him more when the time comes."
Jin An was a little strange, there shouldn't be a need to call specifically to explain these things.
Sure enough, Garp continued: "There are also two people going with him to find you."
"No problem, just two more people, who are the two extra people." Jin An didn't care, they were all coming to work for him, so the more the merrier.
"Zephyr's wife and son." Garp replied.
Jin An was stunned: "No, I can understand you sending your son to me for custody, but what is Zephyr thinking, his wife shouldn't be coming here to join the army, is Zephyr willing?"
"Cough cough..."
Seeming to feel Zephyr's unkind gaze, Garp knew that his old friend was not in a good mood, and couldn't help coughing twice.
"What's wrong, Vice Admiral Garp, are you sick?" Jin An pretended to care, "No wonder you don't have time to teach your children."
Although he had gained free labor, Jin An still didn't want his South Blue to become a nursery, otherwise wouldn't his future nickname be 'Nursery School Rear (Vice) Admiral'.
Garp said unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense, Zephyr's wife and children are going to the South Blue for vacation."
Jin An couldn't understand, what's so fun about the South Blue...
Except for pirates, it's just pirates. Being next to an admiral, what scenery can't you see, and safety is also guaranteed, why would you want to actively run to this godforsaken place in the South Blue.
Wait! Zephyr already has children? Then next year his wife and children...
"You just need to take care of that kid Dragon, Zephyr will arrange his side himself." Garp said in a deep voice.
Jin An felt a little collapsed inside, those were the family members of an admiral, if something happened on his territory, he couldn't imagine the scene.
Jin An still wanted to struggle a bit: "Is it too late to refuse now?"
"It's too late, Dragon and the others already set off this morning." Garp shook his head.
Ahhhh! Jin An's brain was in a mess, he understood Zephyr's contribution to the navy very well, and didn't want him to be so miserable in his later years.
But he didn't know if Zephyr's family leaving Zephyr's sight would cause the pirates to act in advance.
He also didn't know if he had the ability to prevent the deaths of Zephyr's family members.
Jin An didn't believe that the pirates who dared to kill the family members of an admiral would be nobodies, could he possibly do what Zephyr couldn't stop...
"Hello? Jin An, are you still listening? Huh? Is there something wrong? Why hasn't anyone spoken for so long..." Garp called for a long time without anyone responding, and thought that something was wrong with the Den Den Mushi.
"......"
Jin An could only take it one step at a time.
