Tides of Honor: The Return of Admiral Yamamoto

Haiyuan Calendar: 1520.

North Sea.

Naval Branch G-64.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

[Ding! Host's age detected as 60. Beep beep!]

[System waking up…]

[System activation complete…]

[The host currently has two options:]

Option 1: Return to your original young self and start a new life.

Option 2: Obtain the template of Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni from Bleach and receive a random unlock progress.

"After spending forty years here, my Golden Finger has finally awakened…"

Bai Ye, who had already submitted his retirement application to the Navy, stood at the harbor, looking at the two options in front of him, a complex expression on his face.

He had come to this world by chance.

And, by another stroke of chance, he found himself in the era of Roross, the then-overlord of the seas.

As a transmigrator, his situation wasn't terrible.

But it wasn't great either.

He had neither a Golden Finger nor the monstrous natural talents that people in the pirate world seemed to possess.

No matter how much he trained or how hard he worked, he could never match the monstrous prodigies of the sea.

He had watched countless people die around him.

This was the harsh reality.

The weak could not survive on these seas.

Thus, to ensure a stable life, Bai Ye decided to join a power: the Navy.

And so, day by day, he continued to work.

During this time, he witnessed the era of the infamous pirate group, Rocks.

He saw the rise of the Roger Pirates in the news.

And now, he awaited the impending War at the Top.

Forty years had passed.

Although Bai Ye had never had children, the once 20-year-old naval officer had now become a 60-year-old man, a relic of a bygone era.

As of today, Bai Ye, a local naval colonel stationed in the North Sea branch, had officially submitted his retirement application to the Navy.

And at that exact moment, his Golden Finger finally revealed itself.

Bai Ye's emotions were indescribable.

"Option 1 allows me to regain my youthful prime… and start anew."

"Option 2… grants me power directly."

He stared at the two options in front of him. It was impossible not to be tempted.

Regaining his youth would mean a chance to start over.

But Option 2: The Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni template!

Bai Ye vaguely recalled that this was the character from the anime Bleach, the founder and first captain of the Gotei 13!

At the same time, he wielded the strongest attack power, the highest temperature, and the longest-range attacks among all flame-type Zanpakuto: Ryūjin Jakka!

There was no denying it. These two options, placed in front of anyone, were irresistible.

However, Bai Ye, who had already submitted his retirement application, had no desire to get involved in the chaos of the upcoming era.

Even before his Golden Finger awakened, Bai Ye had already made his decision.

After retiring from the Navy, Bai Ye planned to settle in the city where he had lived for more than thirty years.

Even as a transmigrator, thirty years was enough time for him to consider this world his second home.

As for the chaos brewing outside, at his age, he had no intention of getting involved again.

Forty years…

Suddenly, a cry of alarm interrupted Bai Ye's thoughts.

"What's going on?! Look over there at the sea!"

"Is that a fire?!"

"No, it looks like cannon fire!"

The harbor was filled with shouts of alarm from naval personnel.

Hearing this, Bai Ye instinctively turned to look in that direction.

The reason was clear:

That direction led to the city where Bai Ye had spent more than thirty years of his life!
