#75 - Chapter 75 Marinford
The moment Jin An and his group left the G-5 branch, everyone in the entire branch ran out to watch.
Their figures gradually disappeared, bumping along the dilapidated rubble road, with the silent farewell of the navy soldiers behind them.
A warship was docked on the coast, not the latest model but very well maintained.
Its side was engraved with faint traces, the bravery and glory of confronting pirates.
The warship was steadily docked at the pier, waiting for their arrival.
Jin An walked onto the deck, gripped the railing tightly, and felt the refreshing sea breeze.
As the captain gave the order to set sail, the anchor was raised, and the ship cut through the waves.
The warship slowly left the port.
Under the clear sky, the silhouette of the departing ship and the azure sea formed a unique picture.
Jin An and his companions stood on the deck, their eyes passing through the crests and troughs of the waves, as if they could see the distant and solemn outline of the Navy Headquarters.
"......"
Sorbet Kingdom.
"Kuzan, Ginny, take care of yourselves." Kuzan packed his luggage and instructed Kuma and Ginny who were beside him.
"Why did the Navy Headquarters suddenly summon you?" Ginny asked, puzzled.
They had been in the navy for a year and had a clear understanding of the Navy Headquarters.
Ordinary people can't go to the headquarters. Only those who have made great contributions or have special talents can be summoned by the headquarters.
"It seems that the last large-scale recruitment led to a shortage of officers at the Navy Headquarters, but I should report to the training camp first..." Kuzan didn't know much either, just heard some rumors.
"Are you going to be promoted?" Ginny asked, pressing further.
Now their small group is gradually getting on track, and everyone has made a career.
Kuzan grinned and said, "Maybe, but they should transfer my rank to the headquarters."
"Yay, besides Brother Jin An, we have another big shot to rely on in the future." Ginny cheered, jumping with joy.
"......"
"Kuzan, congratulations." Dragon received the news and rushed over from the base to congratulate him.
Kuzan patted Dragon on the chest and scolded with a smile, "You came from the headquarters, stop teasing me."
After a long time of getting along, the two had become close friends who could talk about anything, and banter was common.
Dragon laughed, "I'm serious. Going to the Navy Headquarters is very beneficial for your future development."
The Navy Headquarters gathers most of the naval elites in this world, which is very beneficial for personal development, and you can also meet more like-minded people.
"It's a pity that only you can go..." Dragon sighed.
It wasn't that he wanted to return to the Navy Headquarters, but he felt sorry that he couldn't accompany his close friend.
"You don't have to worry about me. On the contrary, after I leave, the work here will be on you guys." Kuzan replied nonchalantly.
"The Sorbet Kingdom is my second hometown, and now the South Sea is calm and there is nothing to deal with. Leave the matter here to us."
Dragon is very confident in his current ability to handle affairs. He is no longer the rookie he used to be.
"It's a good thing Shanks went out to teach today, otherwise he would have made a fuss when he saw you leaving," Kuma joked.
"Shanks has grown a lot too. He's already a teacher and won't care about this little separation." Kuzan's eyes flashed with a hint of pride at the sight of that red-haired little adult.
He had watched Shanks grow up since he was a child, and fortunately, he didn't turn out bad.
"That guy Jin An is probably enjoying the good life at the Navy Headquarters..." Kuzan murmured.
"With Jin An's personality, he's probably enjoying life," Dragon agreed.
"......"
The warship sailed through the waves, crossing the endless sea.
Jin An, Toki, and the others stood on the deck, enjoying the warm sunshine, washing away the fatigue of the journey.
"Captain Jin An, we'll be at Marineford soon," the navy informed them.
"It only took a week to get here, that's pretty fast," Jin An said in surprise.
They looked into the distance, where the sea and sky met, and the majestic Navy Headquarters gradually became clear, like the entrance to the New World, opening its huge and sacred arms.
The vice-captain was explaining the magnificent structure and profound history of the Navy Headquarters to Toki and the others, every word filled with pride and respect.
The golden light reflected by the sun rising from the horizon framed the base with gold, further highlighting its solemnity and grandeur.
As the warship got closer and closer to the Navy Headquarters, the huge base became even more spectacular.
......
The warship slowly docked at the port of the Navy Headquarters, the heavy hull forming a solid shadow with the shore.
The navies stood in a row, solemnly bidding farewell on the bridge, "We can only send you here."
"There's still a pile of things waiting for us at G-5."
"Go back, we'll go directly to the headquarters," Jin An waved goodbye to these respectable navies.
"......"
Jin An and his group walked on the road leading to the naval center, their eyes forward, the bustling shops on both sides of the road like seashells on the beach, each exuding a unique brilliance.
Pedestrians came and went, the shouts of vendors, the conversations of merchants, and the laughter of children, converged into a vibrant symphony.
The naval center at the end of the road, like an unreachable mountain, stood in the depths of the field of vision.
The smooth stone walls reflected a soft light in the sunlight, and the two characters 'Navy' appeared sacred and solemn.
Walking through the bustling street, the Navy Headquarters gate stood in front of them, like the weight of history, heavily engraved with countless stories of glory and hardship.
Their steps paused slightly in front of the door, gazing at the towering lintel.
"Is this the Navy's sacred place, Marineford?" Olga exclaimed.
Standing under this huge building, one truly realizes the enormity of the headquarters.
A navy in neat uniform stepped forward and asked about the origins of the people in front of him.
"Hello, this is the Navy Headquarters. Is there anything you need to do here?"
"I am South Sea Admiral Jin An, I need to enter the headquarters to find Admiral Sengoku," Jin An said truthfully.
"So you are South Sea Admiral, I have long admired your name. You are an example for many of our navies." A hint of recognition flashed in the navy's eyes.
He leaned slightly, gesturing for Jin An and the others to follow him, "Please come with me, Admiral Sengoku has already instructed us that you can go directly in when you arrive."
His steps were firm, as if every step reflected the glory and responsibility of the naval rhythm.
Jin An and his companions followed closely behind, crossing the thousand-pound gate, as if crossing a barrier of an era, stepping onto a brand new stage.
"......"
"Admiral Sengoku, Captain Jin An has arrived..."
