Without saying a word, Luffy hurried to the wall and stood up straight.
Only then did he have a chance to see the scene in the room clearly.
Opposite him, on the sofa against the wall, Kizaru was half-lying lazily, with his legs crossed and trimming his nails, his eyes looking at him teasingly through his orange sunglasses.
On his left, Akainu, dressed in a red suit, folded his arms across his chest and crossed his legs.
With his head lowered and his eyes blocked by his marine cap, it was unknown what he was thinking.
And the last one was, of course, Aokiji, the disciple of his grandfather and the one who had the best relationship with Luffy.
Seeing him looking over, Aokiji smiled and raised his hand as a greeting.
'My goodness, the three admirals are here. What a big deal! Why didn't I receive any news at all?'
After observing the four people present in a circle without making a sound, Luffy pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
But he seemed to have arrived too late, and only heard Sengoku say:
"Anyway, it's decided. All three of you stay here to take charge of the headquarters.
When the call is issued, come and beat up those rubbish with me!"
The voice was silent for a long time, and no one responded in the office.
It was not until Luffy felt embarrassed for Sengoku that Kizaru stood up first.
"Um~ finally done, I need to go back and take a nap.
Sengoku-san, I'm leaving first."
After him, Akainu followed without saying a word.
Kuzan also stood up at this time, he spread his hands helplessly and said:
"Sengoku-san, is it necessary to call us over when you can use the Den Den Mushi clearly?
Running around is tiring."
After saying that, he yawned, waved to Luffy, scratched his head and prepared to leave.
The attitude of the three admiral who didn't take his words seriously immediately annoyed Sengoku, and he slammed the table and stood up, angrily scolding:
"Bastard! This is..."
"Hey, I know, it's about the world situation, right? Fleet Admiral, you have said it many times."
When he arrived at the door, Kizaru, who was holding the door, turned around and quickly interrupted the spell.
He looked past Sengoku and looked at Luffy in the corner, and said meaningfully:
"Sengoku-san, this is the time for young people to take action.
Since there is an outstanding officer who has defeated a Seven Warlords of the Sea here, why not leave it to him?
Young people need more training."
After a pause, he opened the door and said:
"And after saying so much, the two people outside the door can't wait any longer."
Hina, who was waiting at the door, pushed the door open and saluted Kizaru immediately, saying hello.
Issho, because he was not a marine yet, just smiled and nodded at Kizaru.
Kizaru rubbed his chin, looked at the group in front of him, and said exaggeratedly:
"Where did Luffy found back such a terrifying monster from?
I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. I have to go back and catch up on some sleep."
After saying that, he nodded to the two of them, and staggered away with his hands in his pockets.
As he walked, he kept saying that he was old and it was time to hand it over to the young people, and shirked his responsibilities.
After Akainu and Aoki went out, they also greeted Issho calmly.
Although they didn't know where this blind man came from, the sense of danger coming from him was not false.
This is a master who should not be underestimated.
Sengoku in the office naturally sensed Issho's existence through his observation haki.
Although the attitude of those three bastards made him very angry, it was indeed a pleasant surprise that Luffy could bring back such a strange strong man. Sengoku immediately put aside the unhappiness just now, and immediately let Hina and Issho in.
Luffy was also excited at this time. He immediately walked to Issho's side and took the initiative to introduce Sengoku:
"Fleet Admiral, this is Mr. Issho, my friend whom I met in Alabasta.
We got along very well, and Mr. Issho is also a man of justice.
So I specially invited Mr. Issho to the headquarters.
I hope that you can make an exception and promote Mr. Issho to the rank of vice admiral of the marine."
Hina stood up in shock, and Sengoku, who was about to shake hands with Issho to show the marine's attention to talents, was stunned.
'What the hell? vice admiral as soon as you open your mouth. Do you think I own the marine and I can promote anyone whenever I say?'
Now is not time after the war of Marineford, when the marine suffered heavy losses, Sengoku and Garp retreated to the second line, Akainu came to power, and Aokiji resigned.
Luffy asked for the position of vice admiral as soon as he opened his mouth, which really embarrassed Sengoku.
After all, he didn't even know Issho's specific strength, so how could he grant a rank at random.
In his heart Although his mind was full of thoughts, on the surface, Sengoku still shook hands with Issho and talked in a friendly manner.
He said a lot of polite words to thank him for trusting the marine.
Issho had already discussed this with Luffy, so he was also very polite. He said a lot of things like I have admired the marine for a long time, Luffy's words were too exaggerated, and he was willing to start as a officer. He also said a lot of things at Luffy's request in advance.
Of course, Sengoku would not be stupid enough to let him be a chore boy, but the specific arrangements were difficult to decide for the time being.
After thinking about it, he set his sights on the two extra people in the room.
"Captain Hina, I agree to your previous request.
From now on, you will be the deputy captain of the guerrilla's squad and obey Luffy's orders."
"Yes, thank you, Fleet Admiral!"
Seeing that Sengoku agree, Hina breathed a sigh of relief and saluted to thank him.
As for Luffy, Sengoku glared at the kid.
If it weren't for the fact that he brought back such a big surprise for him and did a pretty good job, he would definitely kick this kid back to the recruit camp and train him for two more years himself.
"You go away too, come back to me in three days to accept the appointment as Commodore and receive new tasks."
Commodore?! Big profit!
Luffy was secretly delighted and nodded in agreement.
Then it was time for Sengoku and Issho to have a detailed talk.
Luffy was very considerate and pulled Hina away, carefully helping to close the door.
After leaving the Fleet Admiral's office and walking a few steps away, Luffy could no longer hold back his pride.
"Ha, I am being promoted from Captain to Commodore in just one year. Who in this department has been promoted faster than me?"
'My lover is so happy, so Hina is naturally happy for him.'
But maybe it's because she is used to the character of a cold goddess, she is still unforgiving.
"Humph, you were just lucky this time. You were able to recommend Mr. Issho to the Fleet Admiral.
Otherwise, let alone Commodore, it would be good if the Fleet Admiral didn't dismiss you."
"Hehe, you are jealous, aren't you?
From a junior to your captain, and now his rank is higher than yours, the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger"
Luffy smiled and made a gesture with his thumb and index finger, which gradually stretched apart.
Hina was so angry that she punched him.
"Hina will catch up with you sooner or later, and you will cry later."
Luffy nodded in agreement,"Yeah, I believe you, I believe you will definitely dream about it."
Hina clenched her fists in anger and rushed towards Luffy.
"Damn it, Hina will show you how powerful Hina now!"
Seeing this, Luffy ran away and turned back to shout: "Hey, assaulting an officer will result in a court-martial!"
"Humph, you are not a Commodore yet, Captain Luffy!"
Hina emphasized the word "Captain" to remind him that they are still at the same level.
Luffy had no choice but to cooperate and pretend to run away for a while, but was caught and beaten by her.
The two flirting and bantering did get notice the passing marines, whose eyes were red with jealousy.
In the corner, several marines gathered together and saw this scene and said jealously
Marine A: Damn it! They chased and flirt in the Marine Headquarters building. I'm going to report them to the Fleet Admiral!"
Marine B:"That's right, they were showing off their affection in front of me. Report it! Must report it!"
Marine C:"Those two people look familiar. Do any of you know them?"
Marine D:"Huh? That man...Isn't that Luffy, er, no, Captain! He's actually back!
And the one next to him, that's my goddess Captain Hina, they're actually together?!
No, I can't accept it!!"
Marine E:"Idiot, they're a talented couple, and you still have to accept them being together, why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror."
"What did you say?!"
"What?! Want to fight?"
With a disagreement, Marine D and Marine E confronted each other, and it seemed that both sides were about to fight.
At this time, a pair of big hands reached out and slapped the back of their heads. The two people who were hit immediately covered their heads and looked back angrily, wanting to see who was so brave to hit them.
As a result, they saw Zephyr, who looked down at them with a serious face and his hands on his chest.
"Ze, Chief Instructor Zephyr!"*2
Zephyr snorted coldly and scolded:"Idiot, as a marine, have you forgotten even the most basic rules?!
What are you all doing here? Get back and finish your work!"
""Yes!"*5
The five people answered immediately, and then ran away without even turning their heads.
After watching them run away, Zephyr's expression suddenly changed. He looked at the place where the five people had been looking at in disbelief, leaning against the wall.
He saw Luffy and Hina walking away side by side, talking and laughing.
He almost dropped his jaw, and even his glasses were crooked with fear.
"Is this true? Luffy and Hina are together? How old is he?
Hina is the same. Even if an old cow eats young grass, this grass is too tender!"
Watching the two of them walk past a corner and disappear from sight,
Zephyr reluctantly retracted his gaze.
He took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and murmured:
"This kid is in love with Hina, what should I do? Is he blind and can't he see that Ain likes him?
But Hina is also a good girl, I can't break them up.
After all, this is a matter of mutual consent.
What should I do? It's a real headache."
Just as Zephyr was racking his brains, digesting and thinking about the solution to the problem, a voice came faintly.
"Can't I have both? Anyway, the law doesn't stipulate that you can't marry more than one woman."
Hearing this, Zephyr suddenly clapped his hands.
"Yes, Luffy is so capable, it's no problem to marry both of them."
Just when he figured it out and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Zephyr's body stiffened and he slowly turned his head to look behind him.
Luffy and Hina, who just disappeared in front of him, stood behind him quietly.
Seeing him looking, Luffy waved to him with a playful look on his face.
"Hey, Teacher Zephyr, long time no see."
Hina took Luffy's hand to declare her sovereignty, and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction:
"Teacher Zephyr, in your heart, is Hina not as good as Ain?"
"Huh? You guys...I..."
Zephyr was instantly embarrassed. He was caught spying on and talking about his students.
This was too embarrassing.
Seeing Zephyr's face turn red instantly, Luffy couldn't help but laugh secretly and said teasingly:
"Teacher Zephyr, you are too concerned.
Drastic emotional fluctuations will affect the use of observation Haki, which you taught me."
Speaking of this, Zephyr's face became even more embarrassed.
This is true. He was shocked by the news that the two were together.
He didn't even notice when they touched his back.
He usually tells students to stay calm in the face of anything.
Zephyr, who was so embarrassed that his toes were about to dig out of the three-bedroom apartment, had no face to stay any longer, and hurriedly made an excuse:
"I still have to go to the logistics department. You guys' chat, I'm leaving."
After saying that, Zephyr turned around and was about to leave.
Luffy hurriedly shouted:
"Teacher Zephyr, remember to prepare more food for lunch tomorrow. I will bring Hina and Ain to visit you."
Zephyr didn't know if he heard it or not. He took two steps at a time and disappeared from their sight in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that the serious and serious teacher Zephyr actually ran away,
Luffy and Hina looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, Luffy took Hina's white little hand and walked slowly towards home.
"This is the first time I have seen Teacher Zephyr so embarrassed"
"Haha, yes, Hina didn't expect that after so many years, we would meet with this scene.
But seeing that the teacher was in high spirits, Hina was relieved."
The two walked and talked, and no one came to disturb them this time.
Hearing Hina's words, Luffy shook his head slightly and sighed:
"The teacher is fine in other aspects, but his old asthma problem has not been improved.
I heard that some devil fruits can cure asthma and other diseases.
I will look for it when I have a chance."
Hina is also worried about Zephyr's health, but since Luffy has a way.
She also believes that Luffy can do it, so she didn't say anything more.
