From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 33 An Overwhelming Situation

"Are you my roommate?"

Orl was still somewhat confused.

Kevin continued, "So this is the traditional way the Navy Headquarters greets people? No, that doesn't make sense. At least Lomi never told me the youth training camp was this enthusiastic in welcoming new recruits."

"Furthermore, your reckless actions must have been authorized by someone, right? It seems Kuzan has quite a reputation within your navy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orl, who had just been in a state of shock and slight fear, had recovered.

Mud was flowing from its body, and bubbles were even rising from it, clearly indicating that it was in a state of readiness to either attack or transform into an element to evade.

"You have a lot of swagger, but someone like you doesn't deserve to be a Marine! You called Vice Admiral Kuzan by his first name. You should know very well how you got here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin, who was covering his forehead with one hand, laughed, which sounded quite jarring.

When he lowered his hand, Kevin looked at Orl mockingly: "And then? What are you trying to say? Do you think the Marine Headquarters shouldn't obey the World Government's orders? Do you think the Fleet Admiral should rebel? Or should he join forces with you, this scumbag, to fight on Mary Geoise?"

"Shut up, you bastard!!"

"Whoosh!"

With Orl's roar, mud rose into the air, trying to engulf Kevin.

However, Kevin did not dodge at all, and directly slapped the mud back.

At this point, Kevin said with a headache, "I told you not to get my sheets dirty, I just bought them."

As he spoke, Kevin stood up and suddenly appeared in front of Orl, sending him flying through the doorway with a knee strike.

"puff."

A mouthful of blood spurted out; even for a Logia-type user like Orl, this attack was unavoidable.

It was too fast. I clearly sensed it just now, felt the aura of an impending attack, but I was still hit in the end.

Still drowsy from just waking up, Kevin yawned: "The effect of a Logia-type Devil Fruit user nullifying physical attacks is based on the fact that the opponent hasn't mastered Armament Haki."

"If the opponent has mastered Armament Haki, then the battle will be a contest between Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Just before the attack hits, disperse the area that will be hit, turning it into a hollow, and the attack will be nullified."

At this point, Kevin had already walked up to Orl, looking down at him: "But it's obvious that your Observation Haki can't keep up with my speed, you can't even react. Prematurely transforming your body into an elemental form will only make you a target for every attack, it's pointless."

The excruciating pain in his chest spread to his internal organs. Orl, who came from the North Sea, had never experienced such pain since he ate the Swamp Fruit.

The Four Seas Society has very few users of Armament Haki; Logia-type Devil Fruit users are practically invincible there. But today…

"Ahem!"

Struggling to his feet, Orl coughed up blood again: "Why...why would someone like you be their dog? Kuzan, Vice Admiral Kuzan's future is that of an Admiral, one of the Navy's highest combat forces!"

With a roar, the solid fist gleamed with a black luster and swung out fiercely.

"Bang!"

Kevin easily caught the attack that was enveloped in Armament Haki. Although it was also Armament Haki, Kevin was able to easily grasp it and transform it.

"ah!!!"

With a painful scream, Orl was thrown out and slammed against the corner of the wall.

Kevin slowly stepped forward, his tone still full of sarcasm: "Your respect and belief in Kuzan have taken you to this level, you've already begun to awaken Haki... But do you know? A Marine Admiral is nothing more than a dog of the Celestial Dragons."

"We're all just dogs, is there anything wrong with what I'm doing? If a person can't even be loyal to a dog, isn't that worse than a dog?"

Leaning down, Kevin met his mocking gaze: "Don't question it. Garp never wanted to become an admiral, and the root cause is this. The Navy belongs to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons; to become an admiral, one must be prepared to be a dog!"

"Cough cough cough!"

In a fit of anger, Orl coughed up blood again, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted.

The clean and efficient work left Kevin somewhat dumbfounded.

As a user of the Swamp-Swamp Fruit, I remember that this fruit's ability can even store a large amount of resources. And being a Logia-type user, I naturally have to do something about it.

Plant the seed, and by chance one day you may become a member of the revolutionary army.

Of course, for now, their faith rests with Kuzan. In this situation, they either need to win Kuzan over or shatter his image in their minds and rebuild their belief in the revolutionary cause.

Let him know that the justice he seeks does not exist in the Navy.

……

Outdoor training ground.

The major who was taking training notes jogged up to Zefa and whispered, "The supervisor from the dormitory just came over. Orl lost, and lost badly."

Zephyr raised his head slightly: "I remember Kevin was only fifteen years old on that list, right? If he can awaken Haki at such an age and master Armament Haki to capture Logia-type entities, then he must have mastered Observation Haki as well."

At this point, Zefa's expression softened with a smile, a genuine joy at discovering a promising talent.

Since his family was killed by pirates, this training camp has been the place he spends the most time in. The marines who have emerged from here are an extension of his spirit and will.

These fledglings, yet to experience the storms of life, are his everything now.

"Go and tell him to come over."

Zephyr stood up: "A young man who has awakened his domineering aura must have beliefs and will that he insists on. What he needs is different from what these brats here have."

The major's face was solemn. At this moment, he also thought of the age of the young man named Kevin.

but……

"Teacher, Lieutenant General Kuzan's actions reveal his stance. If that's the case, we might be training a future CP member."

Zephyr replied in a deep voice, "The Navy's duty has always been to eliminate pirates. I don't like what he did in the West Blue, but that also shows that he is a Navy officer."

"As for the World Government and CP, the Navy has always been subordinate to the World Government, so let's not say that again."

After saying this, the major decided to go to the youth training camp dormitory himself.

Ze was somewhat distracted.

Wasn't Sengoku the same way? He obeyed the World Government's orders and did his best to eliminate pirates in order to protect ordinary civilians.

Such people, acting as bridges to maintain the balance of the world, are, in a sense, equally correct.

So, is this a new generation like the Warring States period?

……

Dear experts, this book has been renamed: [Starting as a Pirate and Becoming a Revolutionary Mentor].

The reddish hue is a bit... hahaha.

Also, I'm desperately begging for your continued reading, I would be extremely grateful.
