An joins the navy

An left, but Roger could still sense her through some kind of connection, though the consciousness was not completely shared, they could engage in simple communication.

Her main task was still to find clues about 'domination,' which must have some connection to Machvise...

Wait, could she be joining the Black Order?

Roger suddenly thought of such a possibility.

Firstly, the Black Order itself dealt with demons, which aligned with the role of a Shinigami as mentioned by Byakuya Kuchiki. The only difference was that the demon hunters of the Black Order killed demons, while Shinigami purified them.

He didn't know the distinction between the two, but it should be an internal difference; on the surface, both aimed to kill demons, perhaps killing with Shinigami power was considered purification?

Besides dealing with demons, the Black Order could also closely understand Machvise. This perfectly matched what Byakuya Kuchiki had told him.

Moreover, An was a person who suddenly appeared in this world, with no dark history in her past. Even the World Government would never imagine that she and Roger were connected.

In that case, could she enter higher ranks, maybe even become an admiral?

Roger returned to the gathering place of his companions to prepare for rest. The separation of An made him even weaker.

Actually, Roger and Naraku did have some similarities. Naraku was an aggregation of demons and humans, while Roger had the ability to absorb external powers through his fusion fruit. Both of them also had the ability to split into clones.

However, their personalities were vastly different.

After some time had passed, Roger had mostly recovered. At this moment, he was having a party with his companions on the ship.

After his recovery, they no longer needed to hide. They returned to the sea, and this rare voyage naturally called for a celebration.

However, at this moment, he suddenly spat out the wine in his mouth.

Puff!

A large amount of wine sprayed onto Jabba opposite him. Jabba was stunned for a second, then angrily said, "What are you doing?!"

"Huh?! Sorry, sorry!" Roger seemed to have choked and coughed for a while. He quickly waved his hand, "It's nothing. I suddenly thought of something funny."

"Funny?" Jabba calmed down again. He wasn't really angry. They had been companions for who knows how long; how could they be genuinely angry over such a small matter?

"Nothing..."

The reason Roger couldn't help it was not because of this party but because of An.

He originally thought An would join the Black Order, but...

She actually went to the Marines!

......

"You want to join the Marines?"

Marine Headquarters, Recruitment Office.

A Marine Colonel sat at the front, looking at the blue-haired woman standing in front of him, surprised. "Are you serious? This is not a regular recruitment office. Only those with the strength of Vice Admiral can join the Marines through this channel."

"Exactly." An's mouth slightly lifted, standing at the front. She looked at the Colonel in the Justice Coat, softly yet resolutely saying, "I want to become an Admiral!"

Worldwide conscription had been enacted by the World Government for some time. Due to the "achievements" of the Marines, a large number of talents joined the Marines. Unfortunately, the third Admiral position had not been filled yet.

Because the World Government had allocated an additional Admiral position to the Marines this time to cope with the upcoming conflicts. In other words, the Marines now had a structure of three Admirals, with Zephyr and Aokiji as two of them. The third Admiral position had been waiting for someone capable to join.

Knowing this, An decided to join the Marines. Through this global conscription, she should quickly become an Admiral, much better than slowly climbing up in the Black Order.

Moreover, there might be some connection between Machvise and Domination. An felt that being under Machvise's command might not lead to anything good, and Machvise was a rather mysterious and formidable woman. It might be better to approach her indirectly through the Marines.

"Become an Admiral?!" The Colonel was surprised. He looked at An.

A youthful and energetic girl, wearing a relatively cool blouse on the upper body and shorts on the lower body, revealing a pair of long legs. How could such a girl choose to join the Marines?

Moreover, she even said she wanted to become an Admiral?

"Young lady, the position of Marine Admiral is not something that anyone can..." He was about to say something, but suddenly An's figure disappeared. The next moment, a short blade was held against his neck.

"..." The Colonel stared blankly at this scene, he...

Completely didn't see how An moved.

"Is it enough now?"

An retracted the short blade, a weapon she casually picked. It wasn't very handy to use, but it would do. With the resources of the Marines, she could easily find a good knife later.

"Enough!" The Colonel looked at An without saying a word. At this moment, a man with a severed arm appeared on the side. He laughed loudly, "Such fast movements at such a young age are truly admirable."

"Ca...Captain Karp!" The Colonel immediately saluted. In the current Marines, Karp had been regarded as a god-like figure due to the propaganda of defeating Atokkes.

And although Aokiji and Heron were also part of the propaganda, Aokiji's qualifications were too shallow, and Heron's strength was indeed not as good as Karp's, so Karp became the main figurehead.

An looked at Karp, her expression unchanged.

Now she was not Roger anymore. She didn't need to hide from Karp; instead, she could openly appear in front of Karp. Thinking about this, she had a strange feeling in her heart.

If she became a Marine Admiral in the future...

Should she use Roger to boost her achievements?

Maybe in the future, she could become an Admiral and even use her record to become Fleet Admiral!

Thinking about this, she felt a little excited.

In fact, she acted just now because she sensed that Karp happened to be nearby. An seemingly asked the Marine Colonel about her strength, but she was actually asking Karp.

So, Karp said, 'Enough.'

"Do well." Karp patted the Colonel on the shoulder. The Colonel, who had been saluting, suddenly blushed and looked terrified. He spoke to An, "If you want to be an Admiral, come with me."
