"Renan is sitting on the ship's deck, wearing a gray cloak that covers his body. He is looking down and thinking, his face calm."
— (This place...) - Renan sighs - (I think I know where I am, 'Calm Belt,' this ship...) - He smiles - (Looks like I lucked out!!)
— You look better... - Yoru arrives, accompanied by a woman holding a bowl of yellow broth - Are you hungry? - He says, pointing to the bowl
— I accept, don't even remember when I last ate... - Renan says as he takes the bowl
— So, where do you come from, Renan? - Yoru looks at him attentively
— Honestly, I don't remember - Renan drinks the contents of the bowl - I just remember waking up on the raft
— Really?
— I think so, I have no reason to lie... - Renan sighs - (I have to come up with a good story. Can't say I'm not from here) - Renan looks at Yoru - But anyway, why do you care? And why are you helping me?
— It's one of my duties as a marine to help, especially being from an almost extinct race like ogres - Yoru sighs and gestures for the woman to sit - Did you know there are only 26 of our race alive?
— That's a low number... - Renan is surprised
"Yoru yawns and then gestures for the woman to sit again, this time with a serious expression."
— Fleet Admiral, I don't... - She starts, but Yoru smiles
— I need to review the trajectory - Yoru begins walking towards the interior of the ship - Cadet, keep our guest company. Get ready because we're arriving at the Academy... - Yoru enters the ship and disappears
— Ok! - She salutes, turns to Renan, and then sits
"Renan observes her more, tan skin, green eyes, blue curly hair, 1.80 meters tall, wearing a navy uniform and a cap. She gazes at Renan seriously but still curiously."
— So, who are you? - She looks him in the eyes
— Renan Montgomery, and you? - He looks back at her
— Cadet Wormwood Eilleen
— (Pretty even) - Renan thinks - Why do you want to join the navy?
— Why do you want to know? - She speaks arrogantly
— Just curious - He smiles amiably - (She's arrogant, the best way to deal with this kind of person is to act opposite to them...)
— Well, I've been training since childhood - She adjusts her hair over her ear - And I finally got the chance I wanted
— Cool - Renan pauses for a moment - Is Yoru the Fleet Admiral? - He smiles - (Fleet Admiral, that's the highest rank in the navy...)
— Yes, for about 12 years, I think
— I see... - He looks at her closely - Do you think I can join the navy? - Renan starts to think - (It might be a bit sudden, but my chances are higher in the navy. I definitely won't become a pirate.)
— You would have to enter the M.T.A, the Marine Training Academy, which interestingly is the destination of the ship...
— Worororo! So it's decided, I'm enlisting in the navy!! - He smiles - (Jesus, what a crazy coincidence) - Renan looks at her - Is it easy to get into this academy?
— In a way, it's an alternative that cadets can take instead of just becoming soldiers right away. Those who go there usually have a recommendation
— Explain better
— Are you stupid? - She looks at him with disdain - The academy is for receiving training to become better sailors. Without a recommendation, you end up staying there longer, and there are still weekly tests of your skills. With a recommendation, the directors have a better idea of your potential and everything else
— I see, do you have one from Yoru?
— A-recommendation? - She speaks a little embarrassed
— A recommendation... - Renan looks up - (Standard behavior for this type of person, suddenly changes personality)
— Oh yes, I and the other cadets here received recommendations from him
"Renan looks around and notices that the ship's sails are retracted, but it still moves. Other cadets are moving around the ship."
— Do these Dials really help? They even allow sailing in the Calm Belt
— You have knowledge of certain things that only those with experience at sea know, but in others, you're stupid... explain yourself - Eilleen looks at Renan seriously
— I-I-I... - Renan begins to think - (What do I say?!)
— (Think carefully...) - A serious voice speaks in Renan's mind, he startles
— Honestly, I don't know... - Renan is being sincere - (Time for improvisation Wororo) - She looks at him - I think I have amnesia...
— Under... how many types of Haki exist, and what are they?
— 3, Armament, Observation, and King/Conqueror
— And Akuma no Mi?
— Also 3, Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia
— Who are the 3 powers?
— Navy, the 4 Emperors, and the 7 Warlords of the Sea
— Where do you come from?
— (Buckehead Island, in the North Blue...) - The voice speaks again
— (Ok) - Renan speaks at the same time as the voice in his head - Buckehead Island, in the North Blue
"The two stare at each other, Renan is very surprised and scared."
— Wow... - Renan widens his eyes
— It's definitely amnesia, right? - Eilleen sighs and looks at him - If you can remember anything else, it will help you if you enter the academy - She gets up - I'll get ready; we have a few hours until we reach the academy, better get ready - She walks to the interior of the ship - (This guy is strange, if he enters the academy, I'll keep an eye on him!)
— Nice! - Renan gets up and stretches - I need new clothes - He looks at the rags he's wearing
"Renan walks to the interior of the ship after a few minutes; the ship has several rooms. Renan walks calmly through the area, the ceiling, floor, and walls made of wood."
— Clothes! Clothes! - Renan sings, passing by a room labeled "Fleet Admiral Hiegawa Yoru" on a sign - Yoru's room... - He starts walking again - (Between the navy and piracy, I follow justice!) - He laughs - (First of all, I have to "find out" where I came from and what this voice is)
— Hey, cadet!! - A woman shouts at Renan
— Hmm? - He turns around and looks at her - What's up?
— What are you looking for?
— Cafeteria, dormitory, and clothes
— It's this way - She points to the right - I'll take you
— Ok! - Renan starts thinking while walking in the direction of the woman - (I better get used to the navy's systems and socialize with the people because I'm definitely going to be in the navy for a long time in this world!)
"A few hours pass; it's close to 6 in the evening, the sun is setting. Yoru's ship docks at a wooden port, a ramp is placed, and then Yoru, Eilleen, and some soldiers descend."
— (Finally!) - Eilleen smiles - (This is the M.T.A!!) - She is very happy
— Ahahaha, now everything changes! - A cadet smiles
"In front of everyone is a huge wall made of white stone, the base has a darker blue color, it has a huge armored gate made of metal and a guardhouse beside it."
— Well, cadets, this is where we say goodbye - Yoru turns and looks at everyone - It was great days we spent sailing; you know you could just become soldiers right away, but your quest for justice and improvement is so great that you chose to dedicate a few years to be at the Academy - He salutes and smiles
— Thank you very much, Fleet Admiral! - The cadets speak in unison and salute back
— (What joy!) - A soldier smiles
— Eilleen! - Yoru looks at her - You being the representative of this class, and all the others too, I have a favor to ask of all of you...
"Everyone nods their heads."
— Please, accept one more cadet into your class...
— One more cadet? - A cadet looks back - But it can't be! - She smiles
— Accept who? - Eilleen looks back, and her expression becomes angry
"Renan descends from the ship; he wears a navy uniform, his hair is pulled back, he wears boots, and carries a rifle on his back, just like some other cadets. He walks to the front and salutes."
— (What the hell!) - Eilleen is furious
— An Ogre!! - Someone shouts cheerfully
"Everyone turns around; an old man, around 1.70 meters tall, scars on his body, wearing a black suit, a navy cap, and a cane."
— I see you got a good class this year, Yoru! - The Old Man laughs
— Director! - Yoru smiles at seeing him and approaches
"The two start talking; Renan and the other cadets are led inside by a soldier. Despite having met a few hours ago, the other cadets talk and socialize with Renan, except one..."
— (This guy!) - Eilleen thinks; she glares at Renan angrily - (Luckily, the navy is short of contingency every year after the Aorieiro Incident; that's the only reason they accept him so suddenly!) - Renan turns to her and smiles; she feigns a smile back - (I'm going to expose this horned ogre!)
"The cadets pass through the wall; they reach a huge flat field, an imposing white building with a blue roof is located in the middle, exercise areas, fighting arenas, pools, and other buildings surround and complement the area. The wall encircles the area in a hexagonal shape."
— (Perfect!) - Renan smiles - (1% of the plan complete; now I just have to finish training in this academy and... find out what year it is to study the events of the last few years because it seems like some years have passed since the end of the manga, wait... I think I recognize that old..)
— Hey Renan! - One of the cadets calls him
— What's up!
— The veterans are throwing a party to welcome us; are you coming?
— Of course! - Renan smiles
