Chapter 31: Reunion of fellow students.
"John, what are you thinking, you don't want to do this task?"
Seeing John go into his own thoughts, Tsuru asked.
"No problem".
After John was asked, he immediately replied, and then asked again: "Vice Admiral, will I be the one to carry out this mission?".
"Of course not".
Tsuru shook her head, "How can you, second lieutenant, be in charge of such an important mission, this time the head of this mission is vice admiral, you will represent our department and follow vice admiral Norville, follow his orders."
P / n: John was promoted during this time to second lieutenant.
"Vice Admiral Norville?"
When John heard that familiar name, he immediately thought of the rear admiral who brought him to the Grant Line, had he already been promoted to vice admiral?
After spending so much time at Marineford, John knew well what the rank of vice admiral meant, it was a rank that was already at the top of the fleet, there were not many vice admirals in the entire headquarters, and those who could become vice admirals were elite and strong soldiers.
Norville, who had been rear admiral just over a year ago, was now vice admiral, a rate of promotion that was possible.
"You will report to him later and Vice Admiral Norville will give you instructions." Tsuru said.
John nodded and saluted respectfully, "Thank you very much, Vice Admiral, then I'll go back to my yard and pack."
This mission was clearly not going to end quickly, so naturally he needed to pack his things.
"Go, remember my words, talk less, look more, do not act recklessly, although you usually behave modestly, you are an arrogant person at heart, in the academy and here, they can tolerate you, but in the army no one will tolerate you, think twice before you do anything, got it?".
Tsuru finished with another parting word, although John was under her command for a short time, after all, he was her soldier, she highly appreciated John, so naturally she wanted him to develop in the right direction.
"Yes". John answered loudly.
Leaving the office and greeting people he met along the way, John went straight to his yard and quickly packed his things.
Walking towards the port that Vice Admiral Tsuru pointed out, John quickly approached him.
"John".
As soon as he reached the port, John heard his name called. He looked in that direction, and happily said, "Peberton, what are you doing here?"
Peberton said with a smile, "Following my commander on a mission, I didn't expect you to be here too, looks like we have the same mission."
Since they were gathered here, it meant that the mission must be the same, and John, seeing a familiar face, was naturally glad to see him.
"It's been a long time, you seem to have become thinner."
John looked at Peberton and noticed that Peberton was noticeably thinner than he had been six months earlier.
Peberton burst into tears: "How can I not be thin? You have no idea how I've been through the last few months, not only did I train twice as much as at the academy, but I also had to fight pirates from time to time, I I didn't even have time to rest, can I really not lose weight?
"Nevertheless, you're chilling out here, you know, you're a well-known figure now, not only recruits, many veterans know you."
John suddenly became embarrassed and asked: "How am I supposed to understand this?"
In the last six months or so, he's rarely been out of HR, let alone befriended other people, so what kind of reputation can he have?
Peberton laughed darkly, "You're so famous now, I wonder how many men envy you... You're the only male Marine among the female Marines under Vice Admiral Tsuru. I don't know how many people want to replace you."
Upon learning of this, John smiled bitterly, "Do you think I want this and envy me? Do you know what I've been suffering from for the last six months?
He was about to complain, but remembering the horror of these crazy girls, he decided that it was better not to talk about it, if it reached their ears, then he himself would suffer in the end, after all, he was still under the command of the personnel department, and after completion of the mission, he will probably have to return to the personnel department.
"Damn, you really do get the best out of life."
He was not interested in other things, but he was interested in girls, he was about thirty, he had not yet had a wife, he did not want to be a canvas all his life.
"Okay, tell me about this mission, it looks like there are quite a few of us (the Marines)." John asked, digressing from the topic.
Peberton whispered, "This time it is the order of the world government, the leader is the vice admiral, I heard that many people are involved."
John was silent, the commander was the vice admiral, although the World Government was not afraid of these historical scholars, it did not want to let them know the history of the empty age, because this would have a great influence on the World Government.
In order to put an end to it for sure, they send a vice admiral. Naturally, this had to be nipped in the bud.
With a warship commanded by Vice Admiral and Cypher Pol intelligence, dealing with unarmed historians would be a breeze.
Gradually, a lot of people gathered here, only Vice Admiral Norville had not yet arrived, so people were divided into groups, and everyone behaved more at ease.
"Yo, isn't it John, you must be very happy these six months or so?"
An annoying voice rang out, John frowned as he turned his head to see Vitesse approaching with a mocking expression.
"I thought who was saying this, but it turned out to be a dog that barked, where is the owner of this dog, what kind of bastard allows you to keep a dog for free?"
John replied dispassionately, he had nothing but dislike for Vitesse, this guy liked to pick on him when he was at the academy, he did not expect that after graduating from the academy, he still did not change that, naturally, he was not going to be patient .
"John, do you want to die?"
Vitesse's face became very ugly, he ate a zoan type inuyash, so he heard John talking about him and jumped up in a rage.
P / n: Inuyash - you werewolf dog. Known in Japanese mythology.
John's eyes twitched and he said, "I didn't scold you, so why do you always want to be humiliated? Besides, if you want to kill me, with your small powers, it's impossible."
Vitesse looked irritable: "You brat who hides behind women... I could crush your bones elsewhere."
John said in a cold voice, "There is no need to change the place, let's go right here and now, what's the point of using your mouth, if you have the courage, fight now and see who loses."
He really wasn't afraid to fight Vitesse here, no matter what, he was now one of the people under Vice Admiral Tsuru's command, and Tsuru's power was one of the highest in the watch, so if he really fights, it's guaranteed he won't will be punished.
Vitesse's face became even more gloomy, although he was shouting very furiously now, but this does not mean that he really has the courage to start a fight here, because he knows the military discipline of the patrol very well, he does not want to run into trouble, he can only growl angrily and step aside.
