Chapitre 45: Tsuru's warning
This time, John played a decisive role, for which Officer Matt was very grateful, and after the end of his patrol, he immediately took the warship to Marineford, ready to send John and the others back.
As for captured pirates such as Coleman, they were to be handed over to Marineford and imprisoned in the city of Impeldown.
The return trip to the base of the Marine went smoothly, without any problems, and took several days.
After saying goodbye to Matt and the others, John sent the soldiers under his command back to their respective bases, and after a few words with Peberton, he immediately returned to Marineford to report to Tsuru about what had happened.
"I read the telegram that Norville sent to headquarters, you did a good job this time."
It was the first time since John became an employee that Tsuru had given him an official compliment, which in turn made him feel a little awkward.
"I just did what I had to do."
Tsuru looked at him and asked, "What do you think about this incident?"
"What I think?" John didn't quite understand what Tsuru meant.
Tsuru said in a deep voice, "It's just you and me here, so don't worry about it, just say what's on your mind."
John was relieved, he had been under Tsuru's command for more than half a year and knew exactly what kind of person Tsuru was, like Zephyr, they appreciated him, and they did a lot for him, they were the ones who could be trusted.
"If I had to give my opinion, I think that these archaeologists should not be to blame for anything."
"But you should know that they angered the world government by chasing a secret that the government should not reveal, and if this secret was leaked, it would probably cause world unrest, in which case, they would be to blame for many deaths. and they still don't deserve to die?"
P / n: In peaceful ways, the road to hell is built.
Tsuru asked, her expression becoming much more serious.
With less remorse, John began to speak his mind.
"In fact, in my opinion, for ordinary people, history does not matter much, most people think about the future, and that it is possible to turn the world upside down based on some kind of history, I think this is unlikely."
He really couldn't understand what the world government had done so unknown eight hundred years ago that they were afraid of being exposed.
Knowing that they ruled the world for eight hundred years, how many people in the world really cared about eight hundred years of history?
Those who really cared about the past were either academic historians like the ones that were captured, or people who were dissatisfied with the rule of a world government.
Through the anime, John learned a few things about the story, but what exactly that story was was not known even before he was reborn.
Tsuru said, "Don't jump to conclusions about things you don't understand; if you don't hold these scientists responsible for the deaths, then why did you transfer them to Cipher Pol 9, you know perfectly well that only one thing will happen to them after they are transferred to Cipher Pol 9."
"A soldier's duty is to obey orders." John answered.
Tsuru laughed and did not refute, but only said in a serious tone: "You are right, obeying orders is the duty of a soldier, and more importantly, being firm in your convictions and justice; for the sake of justice, sometimes you have to make sacrifices, and at such moments you need to make a decision.
"Like this time, if you had shown mercy and spared those archaeologists, it would have been a real mistake; maybe the mission you accepted was wrong from the start, but for the peace of the world, capturing them was the best option."
"This will avoid world unrest, and also serve as an example for other archaeologists to understand that there are some laws that cannot be transgressed."
"By sacrificing a small number of people, you can save a lot more, with such a choice you will face in the future, we can teach you many things, but there are things that we cannot teach, you can only experience them yourself."
John listened carefully, although he knew a lot and had many ideas, in this world, Tsuru's experience was clearly richer than his, and she was more able to see through the essence of this world.
He was able to understand all the truths that Tsuru was saying, which both enlightened and taught him.
There was only one thing that he felt Tsuru was wrong about: the world government's attempt to make an example out of them this time would not be effective, they still underestimated the resolve of those O'Hara scientists.
In the near future, these people will set sail again, and this will make a big difference in the world.
"Yes, I understand".
Tsuru nodded in satisfaction, she thought that John was good, not only because of his exceptional talent, but more importantly, because John was smart and quick-witted and understood a lot at a glance.
In Human Resources, after a long period of training with the female Marines, there were no conflicts, on the contrary, many of the female Marines liked John very much, indicating that John had a good character, was relatively calm and able to establish good relations.
"I also heard that you followed the branch warship and destroyed the pirate crew halfway through, well done, it's better to deal with the pirates than to go and capture those scientists, that's where our Marines' real duty lies."
"This is your first assignment, well done, I'll declare your accomplishments, you should be promoted in a little while."
Although John did not do much this time, he completed part of the task given by the world government, which was no small merit for John, who was only a second lieutenant.
He personally captured a pirate with a bounty of over 80 million bailey, and with Tsuru's support, a one rank promotion wasn't much of a problem.
"Besides that, if you want to ask for something, just say it."
John thought for a moment and said, "There is something I want to ask you, you know about my ability, so I want to get seeds of special plants, seeds of flowers, trees, etc., the more special, the better, I want to explore and develop the ability."
"Seeds? Yeah, no problem, it's not that hard, I'll get someone to find them."
Tsuru knew that John was a plant-type fruit man, and she had already checked the devil fruit illustration, and there were several types of vegetable-type devil fruit.
However, it was impossible to say with certainty which fruit John ate, because what John said was different from any of the fruits in the devil fruit illustration.
She knew that John only wanted the seeds of the plant to improve his strength, so naturally she didn't mind.
"John, you are already strong enough to go to sea, I never let you go before, because I wanted you to learn patience and a sense of proportion, after this mission, I see that you still have a sense of proportion in what are you doing, next time I could send you on missions more often, is there any problem with that?"
"No".
John was overjoyed, of course, there were no problems, it was what he dreamed of, he did not like being in Marineford all the time, he always wanted to be like Sakazuki, Borsalino and others, go around the world and fight with pirates.
"Alright, come back first, I'll ask Gion to let you know when you have a mission."
"Thank you very much, Vice Admiral, I'll go."
John happily left Tsuru's office.
"Since this kid wants to go to sea, let's do what he wants."
Marineford ruled over so many seas, and as one of the important departments, how could Human Resources not have missions, except that Tsuru wasn't ready to let John participate in them sooner to teach John patience.
Now that she felt that John had stayed long enough, she also decided to start letting John go on some assignments.
