One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

"Where are they recruiting soldiers?" the young man asked again.

The naval soldier on duty glanced at him again and asked, "Friend, guess what I'm doing standing here?"

The young man's gaze darkened slightly: "Standing guard..."

"Right," the naval soldier on duty nodded with a smile, "I'm just a sentry, how would I know what the arrangements are? Why don't you... go ask at Naval Headquarters?"

The young man's expression changed for a moment, and he retorted, "Do you think I'm stupid? If I go to Marine Headquarters, that's trespassing, I'm an intruder, and I'll be arrested."

The naval soldier on duty nodded slightly, as if seriously considering the logic of the statement: "Hmm...that makes sense."

The young man didn't give up: "Then, could you go in and ask for me?"

"Uh...? Friend, who do you think I am? I'm just a lowly sentry. Leaving your post without permission will get you in trouble." The naval soldier on duty looked helpless.

"Tap tap tap tap~~~"

suddenly.

Inside the naval base, a series of orderly footsteps approached from afar.

The naval soldier on duty quickly waved to the young man and said in a low voice, "Friend, stand aside and don't block the way."

The young man glanced at the approaching queue inside, then stepped aside.

After the neatly lined up and walked out of the gate, a little while later, an officer wearing a cloak of justice came out, followed by a naval soldier on each side.

The naval soldiers on duty immediately stood at attention, saluted, and said in a loud voice, "Greetings, Vice Admiral Zephyr!"

"Mm," Zefa responded, continuing to walk forward without stopping.

The young man's gaze lingered on Zephyr for a moment before he called out, "Vice Admiral Zephyr, I want to join the Navy."

Zefa paused, turned his head, and looked at the figure standing outside the door. The figure wore a red short-sleeved shirt, carried a long knife on his back, and had the brim of a hat with the word "Justice" on it slightly lowering his eyebrows.

And this young man's identity is none other than Sakazuki in his youth, the future Fleet Admiral in the original work.

Just by looking at his expression, Zefa could tell that this kid was good; he was a promising talent.

Then, Zephyr turned around, took two steps toward the young man, and scrutinized him, asking, "Why do you want to join the Navy?"

"Because I want to use my power to burn away all evil and disorder in the world." Sakazuki's voice was not loud, but it was very firm.

"Such arrogance." Zephyr's lips twitched slightly, as if his words had piqued some interest.

Sakazuki didn't speak, but just stood there quietly, waiting for the next question.

Zephyr sized him up for a moment, then asked, "I see the word 'Justice' written on your hat. How do you understand justice?"

Sakazuki barely hesitated before declaring in a booming voice, "Kill all the villains!"

Zephyr: "????"

"Hahaha~~~"

Zefa was taken aback when he heard this.

Then he laughed and said, "Hey kid, that kind of justice is meaningless. If it were me, I would only smash the villains' fangs, but leave a window of repentance for their souls. Because I believe that what the Navy carries on its shoulders is not just shackles, but also redemption."

Sakazuki continued to stare at him intently, then abruptly replied, "I don't understand."

"Hahaha, you little rascal, you're quite interesting. What's your name?" Zephyr laughed even louder.

"Sakazuki," Sakazuki said softly.

"Okay, Sakazuki, are you willing to come with me?" Zeffa asked.

Sakazuki nodded.

"Then follow me and carry out the mission immediately." Zephyr turned and walked forward.

"Yes."

-------------------------------------

After a long while, at Snake Island.

Ever since Ron built a whole row of cabins on Amazon Lily, he inexplicably became a hero on the island.

What he didn't expect was that Shaki ordered the construction of a stone sculpture of himself in the center of the cabin area to commemorate the person who helped rebuild Amazon Lily.

But at this moment, Kaido jumped out.

He claimed that he had also shed blood for Amazon Lily and demanded that a stone statue be erected next to Ron's, otherwise "his brother looks quite lonely."

Finally, Kaido got his wish. Shakky directly ordered that stone sculptures of all the Rocks Pirates members be made in the same proportion in this area.

Kaido volunteered to be the designer, but Rocks, who was involved in the design, refused outright. He said, "If Kaido is the designer, how can everyone else's appearance be acceptable?"

Ultimately, the design task was given to Annika.

The result of her design was...

The members of the Rocks Pirates formed a circle in various poses, with the Rocks Pirates flag raised in the center.

After seeing the design drawings, no one offered any further suggestions for modification.

..........

Nine Serpent Island, the main hall.

After Ron finished building the house, most of the most pressing problems on Amazon Lily were solved, and Shakky finally had some free time and no longer had to run back and forth to the ruins.

"Da da da~~~"

A series of crisp footsteps echoed in the main hall.

A female warrior who had sailed with Xia Qi walked in quickly.

"Lord Shaqi."

"What's wrong?" Xia Qi asked, turning her head as she sat down in the chair.

"According to our intelligence network, an auction will be held in the Sabaody Archipelago soon. Our people have discovered that a Devil Fruit is on the list of items to be auctioned," the female warrior said slowly.

Xia Qi's eyes flickered slightly.

Prior to this, someone in the Kuja Pirates had suggested that if they could obtain Devil Fruits from outside and feed them to the Kuja Pirates members, they could quickly increase their strength and enhance the self-defense capabilities of Kuja Island.

"Any other news?"

"Yes, according to information provided by our people, the navy in the Sabaody Archipelago has become much more active, which most likely means that the Celestial Dragons are heading to the Sabaody Archipelago. But... we can't be sure yet whether the Celestial Dragons' target is the auction."

Shakky thought for a moment, then made a decisive decision: "We won't get involved. However, the Rocks Pirates might be interested. We'll provide them with the information."

"Yes, Lady Shakky." The female warrior nodded and turned to leave.
