South Blue and John
South blue, 47th Marine Base!
Behind the base, John sat on a rock, looking out to a distant sea full of thoughts.
"Seventeen years".
He sighed, Seventeen years have passed since he was reborn in this world, and although he has learned to live in this world, but whenever he is free, he thinks about the world he belonged to before.
"Rebirth here is not good, why did I reincarnate into the world of One Piece? I don't have a system or a golden finger, luckily I have a family that serves in the Marines. If I were to be reborn in an ordinary family, I fear that I would not be able to live to see today."
Jonah was not afraid of being reborn in another world, because in his world all sorts of novels "about being reborn in other worlds" became the norm, and even if he was reborn alone in this world, he would not panic.
What frustrates John is that all the other reincarnations have different systems or some kind of piano, and he has been in this world for seventeen years and he has neither a system nor a piano.
If there is any difference that distinguishes him from other people, then this is the will, that is, in him, in childhood, the will awakened.
Will observation.
I don't know if it was because he was reborn with memory, which made his spiritual energy very large, so when he was still a child, his will was different from that of ordinary people, and his perception and sensitivity were also very high.
After figuring out that he had reincarnated into the world of One Piece, John realized that this was his will of observation, one of the three types of will of the world of One Piece.
It's just that his will of observation is different from the will of other people who have awakened the will through training. His will to observe was innate. (Born with it)
This is the only thing that consoles John. Although he doesn't have any system or piano, he does have a slight advantage.
In this life, John is very lucky. He was born in South Blue. His father was a captain in the Marines, he was also the commander of the base of the 47th squad. Looking at the South Blue, he was considered to be of good ancestry.
Lyons John is John's real name in this life.
Since he was born into a watchman family, John studied from childhood.
At least in this base of the 47th Squad, he has no rival among the younger generation, and even among the Marines of the Squad, his strength is one of the strongest.
However, since he knew that there were very strong people in the pirate world, he rarely left the base and always trained to become strong enough to go to sea.
Although he did not go far from the base, his father is the commander of the base. Because of this, John knows a lot about the world, and based on the major events that occurred in these years, he determined the time in which he fell.
John learned from his father that the Emperors of the Grant Line, the Rocks Pirates were defeated a few years ago by the combined force of the Watch and Roger's Pirates. The Rocks Pirates are history.
Because of this, John has determined the approximate time he is in. Right now the Commander-in-Chief is still Kong and the Admirals are Sengoku and Zephyr. It will be several more decades before Straw Hat Luffy goes to sea and the story begins.
At this point, John was very depressed because he didn't know the plot of One Piece before canon.
If after the beginning of the canon, he can still benefit from the plot, but it's still 30 years before Luffy goes to sea, and now he knows about some powerful people who will become famous in the future, but now, he can't do anything.
"Fortunately, the South Blue is one of the four seas, and it is not as dangerous as the great sea route (Grant Line)."
As one of the four seas in the South Blue, the support of the world government and navy is very strong. There are many pirates in this sea, but the watch can still control the sea. After all, this is not the late era of pirates.
John "heard" that someone was approaching, thanks to the will of observation that he had been training for over ten years, his will of observation reached the level that the will of the island covered.
"John".
A few tens of seconds later, a middle-aged man in a dark blue uniform with the inscription Provasudie quickly approached him.
John stood up and said, "Father."
The man who came was his father in this life, Lyons Watson, forty years old, with a beard, over two meters tall, very strong, and John was about 1.8 meters in front of him, seems much thinner.
John, I have great news for you.
Watson's face was joyful, and something seemed to make him very happy.
John asked, "Daddy, what's the news?"
John still has a lot of respect for his father, who spent over 20 years as a lookout at the South Blue base.
Although his talent is not high, but through hard work he became the base commander of the 47th Squad, as well as a famous sea captain in the South Blue, he captured and killed hundreds of pirates.
"HQ has just issued an important message, Admiral Zephyr will be transferred to the Naval Academy as an instructor. Headquarters will allow each section to select outstanding talents and send them to Marineford.
Speaking of this, Watson's face was excited: "If you are talented, you will have the opportunity to become an apprentice to Admiral Zephyr. Even if you are not chosen by Admiral Zephyr, you can still stay at the Marineford Military Academy to study. This is a unique opportunity. Great opportunity."
For the vast majority of Marines, Marineford is a sacred place and a passionate goal. If they have the opportunity to serve in Marineford, they will have a much brighter future than in the Four Seas branch of the Marines.
The Branch of the Four Seas and Marinefort are two different things. Usually, the rank of a four-sea branch of the watch is one rank lower than that of a headquarters rank.
For example, John's father, Watson, is the base commander and has the rank of captain, but if he is moved to Marineford, he will be equated with the rank of headquarters commander.
When Watson was young, he always wanted to be able to enter the Marineford Academy, but unfortunately, due to his talent, he was unable to achieve this goal. After getting married and having children, he never had such a thought.
It's just that when his son John grew up, he discovered that John's talent was much higher than his own, so the development of John became his current goal.
Initially, he wanted to wait until John was a little older, use his connections, and find a way to get John transferred to Marineford, and even if that didn't work out, he could try transferring to the Grant Line branch (he means G 3-8), which is much more promising than South Blue branches.
Who would have thought that the news came from Marineford before he began to act?
The admiral becomes an instructor at the academy. This has never happened before, and Marineford is preparing to call a new generation of talented Marines.
Watson felt this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity for his son.
This time it's set in Marineford. In addition to the four seas, the Grand Line branches take part.
Although Watson trusted John, to be honest, he didn't expect John to stand out and become Admiral Zephyr's first apprentice.
For Watson, even if he's not under Zephyr, as long as he can keep John at the Naval Academy in Marineford, that's enough.
"Admiral Zephyr going to become an instructor?"
However, John's face changed after he heard the news.
He didn't know much about Zephyr. He remembered that Zephyr wanted to retire because his family was killed by pirates, but was later hired by Kong. Zephyr, who still had hopes for the Watch, retained the rank of admiral and became a fleet instructor.
Although Zephyr's fate was tragic in the anime, it cannot be denied that he is definitely a strong person.
Having the opportunity to become an admiral in the navy naturally, not to mention strength, after he became an instructor, the students he trained are also among the best;
Among them, the most powerful either became admirals of the fleet or became candidates for admirals. There were also many lieutenant admirals (vice admirals) of Marineford, all of whom were taught by Zephyr. As for the other admirals, there were countless of them.
P / n: Other admirals, these are rear admirals.
It's no exaggeration to say that in terms of teaching his students, Zephyr is the number one person in One Piece, and his students' chances of success are frighteningly high as well.
John remembers that Akainu and Kizaru, among the three fleet generals, seem to be Zephyr's first students. Now that Zephyr is about to become a naval instructor, it seems like Akainu and Kizaru should also be joining the Marines this year.
