Chapter 1 Sengoku Period: Bazel, your target is Kaido the Beast!
[October of 1491 in the Sea Calendar, seven years after the God Valley Incident]
Naval Headquarters
thump--
"Come in."
A somewhat deep male voice came from inside the door.
"A great general of the Warring States period!"
The white-haired youth who entered the room stood up straight and saluted like an ordinary marine.
The old-fashioned fan overhead creaked as it swayed, and a wisp of pleasant ink fragrance wafted into my nostrils as my nose twitched slightly.
Bazel lowered his head slightly, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over the middle-aged man behind the desk.
The Warring States general, also known as a strategist, is a strong candidate for the next admiral of the navy.
But these are all public identities; as for internal affairs...
A complex emotion flickered in Bazel's eyes.
Eighteen years ago, he traveled to this strange anime world.
Bazel didn't know how the other transmigrators got here, but he was a true "local".
Born in the Solvi Kingdom of the South China Sea, his mother was a distant relative of the future Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
We can tentatively consider her as my older cousin.
His grandfather was Burdough, the king of the Solvi Kingdom.
Perhaps out of consideration for his future, his mother in this life suggested that he join the navy when he returned to the South China Sea to visit relatives during the Warring States period.
After some familiar interactions with people, he was sent to the side of the Warring States, who had a bright future.
He embarked on a new life known as the "Justice Navy".
"Dorag told me you needed me, so I came right away."
"There are no outsiders here, relax."
Zhan Guo put down his brush, gently blew the ink off the paper, admired it for a moment, and nodded in satisfaction.
"good."
After marveling at his own calligraphy skills, Zhan Guo then looked at the tall and upright young man in front of him.
Bazell is the child of a relative from his hometown in the South China Sea.
Having spent twelve years together, Zhan Guo naturally knew the personality of the person before him.
Because of his own circumstances, Bazel received an excellent education and training from a young age.
Garp's physical training, Zephyr's instruction in the Six Powers...
But what satisfied him most was the other person's tenacious character.
He received rigorous training from Garp at the age of six.
Abandoned in the jungle at age seven to survive, and had a swimming race with sharks at age eight...
Thinking of all this, the general's smile became even more enthusiastic.
"Cough, Bazel, you're not bad."
The sudden praise made Bazeir secretly think that he was in trouble.
The last time Sengoku praised himself... it seems like it was when he was six years old and had just arrived at headquarters.
The next day, he faced Garp's first grueling training session.
Although he is now proficient in the Six Powers of the Navy and has awakened dual-color Haki, all of which are inseparable from Garp's grueling training, if he could do it all over again...
Bazel swore an oath.
He will absolutely not leave the South China Sea!
"Uncle, what terrible idea have you come up with this time?"
"Ugh! What do you mean by a bad idea? I'm the strategist known as the Warring States General by the people of the sea!"
Sengoku showed no embarrassment at being exposed; instead, he kindly pulled Bazel to sit down on the sofa.
"While the God Valley Incident seven years ago greatly boosted the morale of our Navy, the fall of Rocks allowed even more great pirates to surface."
"Gol D. Roger, Charlotte Linlin, Shiki the Golden Lion, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard..."
As Sengoku listed the newly rising great pirates one by one, Bazel interrupted him expressionlessly.
The respect in his words disappeared.
"Uncle, you're not thinking of having me infiltrate the pirate camp as a spy, are you?"
The smile on Sengoku's face froze for a moment: "I have no one else to use, and I don't feel comfortable sending anyone else over."
"I knew it wouldn't be good news."
Bazel sighed heavily and slumped back weakly.
"Those are all ruthless pirates who kill without blinking an eye. I'm just a small, insignificant marine."
"I suggest you send Rear Admiral Dragon to such an important mission. That guy is determined to change this era. I'm just an ordinary marine who's just getting by."
Faced with Bazel's resistance, Sengoku smiled and offered her senbei and strong tea.
"Drag has participated in Garp's operations to hunt down pirates many times. Besides, his personality isn't really suited to being a pirate."
Bazel had already understood the meaning behind the Warring States period's words, and immediately said in a sarcastic tone:
"Since you've made the decision, what can a lowly marine like me do?"
"The general really knows how to expand his influence—what a display of official power!"
This tone of voice...
Zhan Guo frowned slightly; he felt he had heard that annoyingly lazy tone somewhere before.
thump--
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
"Enter."
"Oh, right~~"
Borsalino, wearing a hat with a naval pattern, entered the room carrying a brown paper bag.
"General, my teacher asked me to bring this over."
I remember now!
Sengoku stared at Borsalino with dead fish eyes.
"Borsalino, when did you corrupt Bazel?"
Having studied at the main campus for over two years, Borsalino and Bazel naturally developed a good relationship.
"Bazaar, the general is really something else... so big...!!"
"Shut up, you lazy bum!"
Sengoku, his right hand wreathed in Armament Haki, grabbed Borsalino, who was trying to escape in his elemental form.
"I knew it! Why would Bazel speak to me like that? Turns out it was you who taught him!"
After teaching Borsalino a lesson, Sengoku didn't let him leave and started looking through the folder that had been delivered to him.
After sitting down, the lazy monkey quietly nudged Gubazel with his elbow.
"Bazaar, what's going on?"
Bazel glanced at Sengoku, who was looking through the intelligence, and saw that he didn't seem to want to stop him.
He immediately told her that he was going to go undercover.
"Become a pirate~~~"
Borusalino smacked his lips a few times, clicking his tongue in amazement:
"That's really strange, why would a Marine become a pirate?"
"It was just an experiment."
Sengoku tossed the intelligence to Bazel, his arms crossed, his expression serious.
"Bazaar, Borsalino is my chosen future adjutant; there's no need to hide it."
"Aside from a few of my friends, very few people know your true information."
"The reason I've been so cautious is precisely for today!"
"I intend to have you infiltrate the newly formed Beasts Pirates."
"According to the research of those scientists, Kaido of the Beasts, who is known as the strongest creature, has a portion of the bloodline of the ancient giants."
"Given his past experiences, he is destined to grow into a major threat to justice!"
As Sengoku's explanation reached his ears, Bazel was distracted by the intelligence report in his hand.
That was the information about Kaido of the Beasts, who had been captured by the Navy multiple times but had always managed to escape.
Before Bazel could speak, Borsalino frowned and asked:
"But even if Admiral Sengoku were to send Bazel to infiltrate, shouldn't he have chosen the Whitebeard Pirates, the Flying Pirates, or the Roger Pirates?"
"They are the most powerful pirates on the high seas right now."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhan Guo's eyes.
After a few bitter laughs, his expression suddenly turned serious.
"Leave the great pirates of the old era to us, who also belong to the old era, to deal with. Bazel, your target is the new generation of pirates!"
The new generation?
and many more……
Borsalino's expression suddenly turned strange.
"Isn't there another pirate crew...?"
"Given Bazel's true appearance, she might be able to integrate into her pirate crew quite smoothly, and even have a few children..."
"Shut up, Borsalino!"
Bazel's lips twitched; he knew perfectly well who the "she" the other person was talking about was.
He doesn't want his hair to turn green!
"Even if I jump off Marine Headquarters and swim all the way back to the South Blue from the Grand Line, I will never join the Big Mom Pirates!"
