Chapter 33 ( One Year Later )

"Boy, you don't need to go to sea again after you come back this time, anyway, you've already finished your internship." Garp was close behind.

He had made up his mind not to send Alex to the New World as soon as he returned.

In any case, Alex's strength is now comparable to that of Marine's Admiral, and there isn't much of a difference between staying in New World and leaving.

He still kept a close eye on Alex in the New World branch, the first priority being to avoid putting Alex in danger.

The second goal is to keep Alex from being duped by those strange pirates.

Although the chances are slim, not one of the ten thousand Marines will desert and become a spy.

Although the possibility of this is extremely low, not one of the ten thousand Marines will betray and become a pirate.

But now Alex is the darling in the eyes of the entire Marine executives. If such a person becomes a pirate, even if the possibility is very low, they have to guard against it.

So his strategy is to bring Alex back to the Marine Base, keep him away from that "dangerous" location, and gradually integrate Alex's character into the branch with peace of mind.

...

Time passed quickly.

Alex has been at sea for a year now.

Of course, he basically stayed in the Marine branch during this year to handle some matters and help make some decisions.

Garp had discovered by this point that Alex possessed a rare talent for decision-making and strategy. Alex's strategy alone reduced their Marine casualties in the New World by 30%, while the total number of captured pirates increased significantly.

Garp was initially just trying to get Alex to handle some of that.

But he hadn't expected Alex to be so gifted. Later, the Marine branch's chief became Alex's assistant. Alex makes more than 90% of the Marine branch's decisions.

And, as a result of Alex's decision, the entire Marine branch has grown stronger, as evidenced by the increased number of captured pirates and a decrease in casualties.

This incident also made Alex well-known throughout the Marines and even the entire New World.

At the office

Alex placed a document on the table after processing it in his hand.

"Has it really been a year? I've heard that Mr. Zephyr has rehired them as an intern. It appears that it is time for me to depart." Alex, who was still in the Marine branch of New World, couldn't understand what they did after they arrived in New World.

"If you don't say it, Alex, I'll almost forget you're still a student at the elite camp! What do you think? Otherwise, if you come to me this time after graduation, you might be able to replace me in a few years!"

On the desk opposite Alex, a Marine branch Vice Admiral, about sixty years old, looked at him with a smile.

He is the staff officer of this New World Marine branch. Although he is the Vice Admiral of the Marine branch, he has quite a lot of experience, so this Vice Admiral was quite prestigious before Alex came.

But with the arrival of Alex and a series of changes, Alex's reputation has completely surpassed the old Vice Admiral.

However, he is not angry at all. After all, he is already over sixty years old, and he himself is about to retire. It is estimated that he will stay in this position for another year or two.

"Vice Admiral keton, it depends on the future arrangements of the headquarters, and I can't make a decision. What's more, this position must be held by the Rear Admiral of the headquarters or the Vice Admiral of the branch." Alex pushed his glasses on the seat , replied very humbly, that incomparably gentle attitude made it hard to find any faults.

This gentle and humble appearance is exactly the type that makes this kind of old man take extra care.

"Hahaha! That's true, but I will also write a letter to support you, and ask the Admiral to give you a position where you can display your talents faster." The old Vice Admiral also smiled.

As the saying goes, reciprocity is reciprocal, Alex has done so many things here without asking for anything in return, and the old Vice Admiral has always been a little bit sorry.

So in fact, as early as a month ago, the old Vice Admiral had already collected some petitions for him without telling Alex in private, hoping that the headquarters could make an exception and quickly give Alex a suitable position to play.

Due to Alex's reputation in the branch, the number of real-named people in this petition has already exceeded a thousand.

"Then I'll have to trouble Vice Admiral." Alex also responded with a smile.

For this, Alex did not refuse.

After finishing, Alex also left the office.

After briefly explaining to Garp that he was going back to the headquarters, Alex took advantage of a warship that was just about to return to the headquarters in the afternoon, and prepared to go back together on the way.

"Sakazuki, Borsalino, I wonder how strong have they gotten?" Alex was looking forward to these two future Marine Admirals.

He believes their strength has grown significantly after a long time, following Zephyr's training and New World's brief experience!

It's just a shame he's already gained experience from the two of them, and now he has no way of gaining more.

If he wants to gain experience again, he have to wait atleast twenty years.

However, this does not affect any major issues. When returning to the elite camp for the last exam, nine times out of ten, he still fights Zephyr himself.

To what extent will Zephyr use his strength, and if he really defeats Zepher, can he obtain the template unlocking with the degree of Marine Admiral's strength.

These are the questions that matter most to Alex.
