Chapter 28: Human Resources, and Vice Admiral Tsuru.
It wasn't until John saw the department he was assigned to that he frowned: Sakazuki and the others were assigned to the combat departments, while he was, in fact, assigned to the headquarters department.
While John didn't know much about working between the various departments of Marineford, Human Resources was certainly not a combat unit, and he didn't understand why Zephyr assigned him to Human Resources.
John couldn't ask Zephyr because it had already been announced and couldn't be changed.
John was overwhelmed, he was looking forward to being assigned to a combat unit, because then he would have the opportunity to fight on the front lines and use the fights to improve his strength, what he lacked most now was practical combat experience.
But now that he was appointed to the personnel department, it seemed that this idea would be difficult to implement.
"John, you're lucky that Mr. Zephyr gave you the most attention and let you go to the safest department."
John was depressed and Peberton was jealous, the bastard always wanted to get into the logistics department, but as it turned out, he was also assigned to one of the combat units, so he was very jealous of John.
P / p: The functions of the logistics department are: stock control of all available resources, purchase of raw materials and materials, warehousing, storage, delivery from suppliers, movement within the organization itself.
At the dorm, John and Dragon were packing up their belongings, since everyone was distributed and had to go to their departments, they also had to settle in new dorms, and they would not return to this place.
"John".
While he was packing, Borsalino came again, followed by Sakazuki.
"Soon we will all go our separate ways, and I have come to say goodbye to you."
John looked at Borsalino and Sakazuki and slowly said, "Borsalino, Sakazuki, you two be careful, the new world is not as calm as the first half of the Grant Line, you could die there if you're not careful."
Sakazuki and Borsalino were the two most special people, not only did they have a high rank, but they were assigned directly under Admiral Sengoku, each on the same ship as the vice admiral, and soon they were supposed to depart for the new world in the next few days, so John decided to warn them.
Borsalino laughed: "When we go there, the pirates should worry, not us."
Sakazuki also spoke, "John, Dragon, take care of yourself."
"John is right, the new world is too chaotic and full of pirates, so you two be careful." Dragon said.
This guy, Dragon, lived up to his connections and was directly assigned under Garp's command, whose next step was to stay in Marineford.
All four said goodbye to each other, and the small group was divided.
Left alone, John took his things and went to the personnel department for a report. After wandering around Marineford for a while, John found the personnel department.
Human Resources, being an important department in Marineford, had its own piece of land next to the main building.
"Is this the personnel department?"
Looking at the building in front of him, John had a rather strange expression on his face, not so much because there was something wrong with the building, but because those who guarded the entrance were actually two gallant female watchmen, both of whom were about three meters, not at all like the soldiers he had seen before.
Two female watchmen guarded the door, and although this seemed strange to John, he approached them respectfully.
"Recruit Lyons John, has arrived."
"Recruit?"
The two female watchmen were visibly taken aback when he approached, took the document from John's hand and examined her closely.
"And indeed."
After confirming this, the expressions of the two women on the watch became very strange, and after a serious look at John, one of them went inside to report, leaving the other to watch John.
"Junior brother, it's been a long time since new people joined us, especially men."
The female sentinel, who appeared to be in her thirties, looked normal, she said smiling.
"Younger brother?"
John grimaced as a bad feeling washed over him, and at the same time he was depressed.
He couldn't match the height of the men, but now two random women were taller than him, and he couldn't bear it.
A year later, John had become quite tall, and now he was almost two meters tall, but in this world, where there are three meters per capita, he was clearly not tall enough.
Not knowing what to say, John could only remain silent and stand still with a serious face.
A few minutes later the female lookout returned and told him, "Midshipman Lyons John, follow me."
John faithfully followed her and they quickly approached the main building, then the female watch told John to knock on the door and enter himself, and left.
A little flustered, John knocked gently on the office door.
"Come in."
A woman's voice was heard from inside, John opened the door and entered.
It was a very spacious office, inside which were two women: one was sitting in an armchair, and the other was standing behind the armchair.
John didn't know the two women, but he saluted anyway and said loudly, "Recruit Lyons John, here for duty, please get instructions."
The woman sitting in the chair raised her head: a charming middle-aged woman in the uniform of a vice admiral looked exceptionally attractive; behind her stood a teenage girl, tall and stately.
"Lyons John, son of the commander of the 47th South Blue Branch Base, was born with the will to observe. Plant-type "Devil Fruit" ability, can control and destroy plants, outstanding among cadets of the first Zephyr gathering, unpretentious, has a calm disposition and certain leadership abilities. T/N: Don't forget Zephyr started teaching this year.
With a serious face, the middle-aged female Vice Admiral looked at John, and slowly spoke out everything she knew about John.
John listened to the story of another person and did not open his mouth, he showed this information and, of course, it will be known.
"Is it disappointing that you weren't assigned to a combat unit?" The female vice admiral asked John.
John replied: "It's okay"
"No other thought will do." P / n This means that the patrol is a military organization, and as it should be in a military organization, "orders are not discussed."
The female vice admiral nodded and said, "My name is Tsuru and from today I will be your direct supervisor, but since you are still a beginner, not much is required of you yet, all you have to do is study and train."
Hearing these words, John suddenly showed disappointment on his face, he had already studied and trained for a year at the academy, why couldn't he be easily assigned to the regular army, how is it that he still has to study and train?
Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "Cheer up, now you have graduated from the academy, but you are still too young to fight the pirates, and our department is not a combat unit, our duty is to develop combat plans for the combat unit, coordinate the command and etc".
"The other admirals in the headquarters have their own affairs, so you will be assigned directly to my department, and from tomorrow, study and training will take place in my department, any questions?"
"Yes".
John asked, "Vice Admiral Tsuru, may I know where I will live?"
Tsuru replied, "There is a place in the department where you can stay, and everything is already prepared for you, Gion will take you there."
The girl standing next to her immediately said, "Follow me."
With that, she walked to the door, and John, without hesitation, followed the girl out of the office.
Watching John leave, Tsuru shook her head and sighed, "Zephyr, actually handed that little one over to me."
She didn't really have anything to do with recruiting this time around, but Zephyr insisted on transferring John to her department, saying that John was too young and had unlimited potential and needed to be honed before he could go to sea to fight.
All this was good, but the problem was that her unit was different from the others.
"I hope the young man has a strong will, otherwise it's a pain in the ass too."
The thought of future funny situations made even Tsuru smile.
