Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 107 The plan was perfect.

The next morning, at the branch training ground.

"Huh, Colonel Smoker?"

Inside the training field, Smoker dragged a huge tire and ran, training alone in silence, ignoring the stares of those around him.

His body was already covered in sweat.

The marines looked at each other in bewilderment.

What kind of wind is blowing?

They had never seen Colonel Smoker train before, so why did he suddenly become serious as soon as Colonel Loya returned?

Could it be that he/she has been provoked?

"Hehehe, my little ones, we can't fall behind!"

Bartolomeo chuckled and deliberately led his underlings to jog slowly past Smoker, even making mocking hisses.

During Loya's absence, Smoker, as the branch leader, caused them a lot of trouble, especially regarding military discipline; in short, he made things difficult for them in every way.

Now, the chance for revenge has arrived!

"Shh, boys!"

"Click-clack!"

Smoker's face was dark, and the veins on his forehead were visibly bulging.

These bastards!

Fortunately, Tashigi saw that things were not going well and quickly came over to help Smoker out of the predicament, scolding Barto and his henchmen.

"You all need to train hard!"

"Yes, Sergeant Tashigi."

Bartolomeo curled his lip. He wondered where this little vixen learned it from; every time they all made a mistake, he was the only one punished.

That's outrageous!

If it weren't for the fact that she frequently visited her mother-in-law, he would definitely have taught this little wench what cruelty was.

Hmph, I'll let her off this time.

The base commander's office.

Loya summoned Fombardy and Zango to inquire about the recent situation in Loguetown and also informed them of their plans to travel to the Grand Line.

"There are only two months left until the end of the year. If nothing unexpected happens, the transfer order will be issued in two months. After the New Year, we can go to the G-5 branch."

"Colonel Loya, congratulations on your promotion!"

Finnbudy was thrilled.

This transfer may seem like there's no change in position, but being able to move from the Four Seas Branch to the Grand Line is already considered a major promotion.

Once he arrived at the G-5 branch, Loya became a colonel directly under the headquarters, a completely different concept from the colonel of the East China Sea branch.

Those who followed Loya were essentially promoted.

This outcome has exceeded the path his parents had laid out for him, after all, his parents were just ordinary officers at headquarters with limited power.

"This is just the beginning; we can go much further in the future."

Loya nodded with a smile.

In fact, being assigned to a post in the Grand Line is the reward for this training camp, and it is also the main way for officers from all over the world to go to headquarters.

After the initial excitement, Finnbudy was quite puzzled.

Zango didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, but he was better informed and had long heard of the "prestige" of the G-5 branch, a forbidden area that was absolutely off-limits.

"Colonel, why are we going to G-5?"

"Well, the G-5 branch has what I need."

Loya narrowed his eyes.

With his top score, he could easily get a position at the Navy Headquarters, not to mention other G-system branches.

He wanted to go to the G-5 branch, not only because it was located in the New World and offered more opportunities to make contributions, but also because of one person.

Vergo!

Or rather, I should say the other party's location!

The number of Navy G-series branches is limited, with only 13 currently and another branch, G-14, under construction.

Aside from the notoriously bad G-5, every base commander of a G-series branch is highly sought after, with countless lieutenant generals eyeing them.

That's a powerful position, second only to the Admiral in terms of power and status!

An ordinary vice admiral at headquarters has only one personal warship and a maximum of a thousand subordinates; even Vice Admiral Garp is no exception.

Of course, Garp's reasons were that he didn't want too many constraints; otherwise, he could have easily become a general.

The base chief of the G-series branch commands at least five warships.

Take the G-5 branch as an example. It has six large warships, corresponding to six units, which means that the maximum number of personnel is 6000, and with logistics, it exceeds 10,000.

Even so, the G-5 branch was at the bottom of the G-series branches.

It is easy to imagine that the power and status of an ordinary lieutenant general at headquarters are completely incomparable to those of a G-system base commander; the difference is too great.

In addition, Vergo is the only G-system base chief that Loa knows can be overthrown, because the other party's true identity is a spy planted by Doflamingo.

All he needed to do was establish himself in the G-5 branch, secretly gather evidence of Vergo's espionage, and then eliminate Vergo once he reached the rank of major general or lieutenant general.

At that time, he could use the credit for killing Vergo to rightfully become the base chief of the G-5 branch.

The G-5 branch is such a shabby place that other lieutenant generals would avoid it like the plague. They probably wouldn't bother competing with him, and they might not even be able to win.

The plan is absolutely perfect!

"Hahahaha~~"

Wild laughter echoed throughout the base.

-

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Inside the marshal's office, several veteran generals gathered together to drink tea and chat, while only Garp squatted by the wall, using a hammer and a wooden board to repair the hole he had accidentally made.

Garp picked his nose in frustration, muttering angrily, "It's all that brat's fault, he made me get carried away!"

"This is your fault!"

The Warring States period was powerless to do anything but facepalm.

There was a video den Den Mushi on the coffee table, showing the duel between Loya and Peacock. They felt really sorry for Peacock as he was whipped until he was covered in welts.

The hole in the wall was caused by Garp's inability to resist the urge to damage it.

After all, they all treated the peacock like their own granddaughter, even more so than their grandmother, the crane.

However, apart from Garp, everyone present was reasonable, and no one would blame Loya for Peacock's fate.

Garp wouldn't either.

In a fair duel, if you lose, you can only blame your own lack of strength. Go back and train hard, and you can win back the victory later.

The current issue is how to arrange Loya's affairs.

As the top student in this training camp, and having shown surprising talent, he certainly cannot stay in the comfortable East China Sea.

If Loya had joined the main recruit camp, there would have been no need to hesitate, but that kid stubbornly refused.

Both Zhan Guo and Ze Fa felt that Luo Yatai was impatient, and they could understand that young people are generally like that, wanting to make a name for themselves immediately.

But that kid still needs time to mature!

Zephyr said with a smile, "Sengoku, I want to assign Loya to the G-1 branch and let the flying squirrel keep an eye on that kid."

"G-1, hmm, it's really good."

Zhan Guo nodded slightly.

G-1 is located next to the headquarters, on the other side of the Red Line, guarding the Holy Land of Mary Geoise together with the Marine Headquarters. Its military strength is second only to the headquarters.

They can rest assured that Loya will be assigned to the G-1 branch.

They are all getting old and will inevitably retire in five or six years. They value training successors more than capturing pirates.

Given the potential shown by Loya and the high regard Zephyr has for him, Loya is very likely to become the next or the next generation of Admirals after Aokiji retires in a dozen years or so.

"Then it's settled!"
