Let Gion receive him.

"No way!"

Hancock, hands on her hips, confidently retorted, "I'm so cute, I'm sure I'll grow up to be an absolute beauty, and he'll definitely be captivated by me!"

"Well……"

Sandasonia and Mariegrad twitched their lips.

Is my sister overconfident?

……

……

Day three.

Zhunyi bids farewell to Raleigh and Peony and sets sail for Marineford.

Marineford is the headquarters of the Navy.

Therefore, Junichi could not enter immediately, but registered on the outer islands first.

period.

Rezzo's letter of recommendation saved him a lot of tedious procedures.

Less than half a day.

He was invited aboard a warship and accompanied them to Marineford.

……

At the same time.

Sengoku also received the report that Junichi Uchiha, carrying Raizo's letter of recommendation, boarded a warship bound for Marineford.

"Um……"

He pondered for a moment, then picked up the Den Den Mushi and made a few calls.

A short while later.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in," Sengoku said leisurely, sitting in his office chair.

"Excuse me."

The door was pushed open, and a group of brigadier generals and major generals from headquarters entered.

Everyone was extremely young, the oldest being under 25.

They were all graduates of the headquarters' elite training camp, and upon graduation, they were already brigadier generals.

of course.

Those with outstanding performance will remain and become brigadier generals of the headquarters.

Those with average performance will be transferred to the Grand Line Branch and become branch brigadier generals.

But in any case.

These people will definitely become major generals before the age of 30, then be sent to a branch to accumulate experience, and become lieutenant generals before the age of 40.

As for the generals, there are only three positions available.

Therefore, generally speaking, most people's highest military rank is only lieutenant general.

For example, the legendary naval hero Garp still holds the title of Vice Admiral.

"Marshal, what do you want with us?" a major general asked.

That's right.

Sengoku cleared his throat and said slowly, "There is an exceptionally talented individual who will soon be joining our navy aboard a warship."

"To show that it is important."

"I hope that you, this group of rising stars, will represent them in welcoming that person."

These words were spoken.

The young people present all looked surprised.

Are they really going to send these young naval elites to greet us?

This person is highly valued by the marshal!

"Take a look at his basic information." Sengoku took out a stack of printed documents and handed them over.

The young people began to look at each other's items.

among them.

A girl with black hair, wearing short shorts and a long sword with a white hilt hanging from her waist, stared intently at the text on the document.

They seemed to be startled and turned away.

The girl looked on with disbelief.

"A fifteen-year-old great swordsman?" she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Others reacted in the same way.

They all exclaimed in surprise.

"He tamed the demon sword, Oni-Eye, which is a Great Grade Sword?"

"He's even mastered dual-color Haki?"

"Really?"

"That's way too much!"

Everyone looked up at the marshal in astonishment, hoping for an explanation.

"The information is indeed somewhat exaggerated. I was quite surprised when I first saw it," Sengoku said softly. "But there are many supporting examples that confirm the authenticity of this intelligence."

"Turn to the second half."

"It's recorded that he had a close relationship with Rayleigh and was suspected of receiving instruction from Hawkeye Mihawk."

"At the same time, he single-handedly and without taking any damage, eliminated a pirate crew with a total bounty of 500 million."

Upon hearing this...

Everyone flipped to the back.

After reading the record, their expressions became even more surprised.

Rayleigh, the right-hand man of One Piece?

The Great Swordsman - Hawkeye Mihawk?

How could this fifteen-year-old boy have gained the favor of these two important figures?

That intelligence is very likely true.

They trust the judgment of important figures.

"Gion, I hope you can be the main representative to welcome Uchiha Junichi." Sengoku's gaze fell on the black-haired girl from before.

The eyes of everyone else also turned to look.

Gion's expression was calm, with a faint smile on her lips. Her features were soft and charming, exuding the mature and gentle aura of an older sister.

She was the most beautiful woman in the Navy Headquarters.

As a representative, he is the most suitable person.

"I have no problem," Gion replied with a smile. After reading the information, she developed a strong interest in this Uchiha Junichi.

I'm planning to get in touch with them.

"Then let Gion be the main focus, and the others will be in charge of the honor guard. We must make sure that Junichi Uchiha feels the enthusiasm of our Navy!" Sengoku decided.

"yes!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Since Roger ushered in the Great Pirate Era, the Navy has been overwhelmed with problems and suffered heavy casualties.

No one would object to having a strong colleague join them.

"That's all for now, meeting adjourned!" Sengoku said.

The group bowed, handed over the documents, and left the office.

……

noon.

In the dining hall of the Navy Headquarters.

Gion ate her meal absentmindedly, her mind filled with information about Uchiha Junichi.

A fifteen-year-old great swordsman!

This achievement can only be described as monstrous!

She is 22 years old and has just mastered the "Iron Cutting" technique, becoming a swordsman.

The path to becoming a great swordsman is long and uncertain.

"I really want to know, how did he cultivate?" Gion wondered curiously.

around.

Many male sailors were secretly spying on Gion.

As the most beautiful girl in this generation of headquarters, Gion attracts attention wherever she goes.

Nine out of ten male sailors revered her as a goddess.

The remaining one is gay.

"What is Miss Gion thinking about? She seems so engrossed in thought..." Among them, a man with a lewd face and an old man's demeanor was also peeking.

"Don't look at Kakei anymore. With your appearance, Miss Gion won't even look at you." His companion next to him shook his head and sighed.

"Shut up!"

Kaji retorted angrily, "My strength is among the best of the younger generation in headquarters. I'm excellent too, okay?"

"But your face..." His companion looked at him and sighed, "Even the honor guard didn't look for you."

"A guard of honor?"

He ignored his companions' attacks on his face; he was already used to his ugly face.

"Oh, so there's a very talented person who wants to join the navy, and the marshal has asked us to form a guard of honor to warmly welcome him."

His companion thought for a moment and said:

"Gion has the most outstanding appearance and was chosen by the Marshal to represent him in receiving that person."

"What!?" Jiaji was shocked, then flew into a rage.

She was his dream girl.

She actually had to entertain other men!

My heart is breaking!

"Hey, there's no need to exaggerate like that." His companion looked at him speechlessly. "It's just a normal reception, why do you look like your dreams have been shattered?"

"Besides, Miss Gion wouldn't be interested."

"You and she aren't even friends."

boom!

Jiaji slammed his hand on the table, interrupting his companion.

He said bitterly, "Stop talking! I can't stand by and watch Miss Gion fall into someone else's arms!"

"Is this the representative the Marshal was instructing?"

"I'll go find the marshal right now!"

Having said that, he didn't finish his meal and left the restaurant directly for the marshal's office.

His companion gave him a look that said, "What are you imagining?" and watched Jiaji leave speechlessly.
