Chapter 572: Accidental Gains
...
"Don't ever say that again!"
Zephyr warned.
"Golden boy! You know I have devoted my entire life to the navy. Even if it makes some mistakes occasionally, I will not abandon it!"
"I understand, Mr. Zephyr."
Ajin nodded and said.
"Tell me the truth, is it because the navy now has three young admirals and you feel that you have no chance of promotion in a short period of time, so you want to leave the navy and start your own business?"
Zephyr asked, looking into Jin's eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Zefa, I said this to comfort you because I saw that you were wronged. Why are you doubting me now?"
Ajin defended himself with a look of being wronged.
"Comfort me? You were so excited just now, you little brat. Even your G5 subordinates have colluded with each other. Just tell me, should I doubt you?"
"Hahaha, that seems to be true."
Ajin smiled awkwardly and continued.
"But I don't have such an idea for the time being. There doesn't have to be only three admirals in the navy. As long as you have the ability, you still have the opportunity to be promoted."
"That's good if you think so."
Zephyr breathed a sigh of relief.
"Teacher Zefa, if one day the navy needs to go against the justice in my heart, I might think about changing the navy myself, but if I really can't change it, then I can only choose to leave. I hope you can understand me then."
Zefa was not surprised, but his expression became a little serious. After a pause, he sighed and said.
"I don't want to see that day. I hope you can keep moving up! Become an admiral! Or even a navy marshal! I'm still waiting to see what kind of changes you can bring to the navy! You can't give up so easily!"
"I understand, Mr. Zephyr!"
Ajin nodded.
"Over the years, you have remembered your teacher's words and have never slacked off in your physical training. I am very pleased. In terms of physical training alone, you are definitely not worse than the other three. You are even better than that idiot who relies too much on the power of the fruit. In terms of military command and logistics management, you have also made enough achievements to prove yourself. Next..."
Zefa touched his chin, thought for a while, and then continued.
"If you don't mind becoming an ability user, maybe you should consider applying to see if you can find a suitable devil fruit. It would be best if you could get a powerful natural devil fruit like the lava, ice, or sparkle fruit. The biggest role of the admiral is to intimidate pirates across the entire ocean with force, and the disaster-level ability is very useful in both deterrence and killing enemies on the front battlefield. However, it may be difficult to get a devil fruit of this level, so apply first."
It can be seen that Zefa really cares about his favorite student.
"By the way, Mr. Zefa, take a look at this."
Ajin felt that with the three monster admirals of the navy leading the way, there was no need for him to continue hiding the ability of the devil fruit!
"Crackling~!"
Ajin touched his right thumb and index finger and separated them, making a gesture that could break the collective defense of Oppa. In an instant, a powerful blue-white arc of electricity jumped between the two fingers! The current crackled, carrying a violent breath of destruction!
"This is?!"
"The power of thunder and lightning!?"
Zefa widened his eyes and stared curiously at the arc of electric light flashing in Ajin's hand, even forgetting to blink.
"Teacher Zefa, this is what I accidentally got when I "eradicated" or, oh no, arrested pirates some time ago. I think it's called the Nature-type Thunder Fruit! I'm already a user of special abilities, so I thought I'd try it out first and forget to tell you."
Ajin said in a calm tone.
"You kid..."
Zefa felt that Ajin must be hiding a lot of things from him, but he just didn't have any evidence at the moment.
...
That night
Jin tossed and turned in bed all night, unable to sleep. The next day he could only call home to discuss how to deal with the policies of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"This is the situation. I would like to ask everyone to help me with this matter."
"Brother Ajin, it's no problem for us to help you kill these pirate groups. As for what happens next, uh... isn't it a bit against Captain Gol's teachings? The captain hates pirates the most!"
"Yes, I am worried about that too."
"Yes!"
"..."
Looking at the several Den Den Mushi communicating on the table, Mo Sang spoke.
"I support Akin's idea on this matter. The Shichibukai system will definitely undermine the stability of the ocean. In this case, why don't we control this privileged seat as much as possible? Captain Gill often said that to know whether a person is good or bad, don't look at what he is or what he says, but look at what he does..."
"..."

Navy Headquarters
Marshal's Office
A young man in a white suit, a mask and a pigeon on his shoulder stood in front of the desk, looking down at Zhan Guo.
"Marshal Sengoku, I am here on the orders of the Five Elders of the World Government to ask you, why haven't we seen any action on the Shichibukai plan after several months? Are you trying to disobey orders?"
The pigeon on the young man's shoulder flapped its wings and spoke fiercely.
Zhan Guo clasped his fingers together, supported his chin, and said calmly.
"Disobey orders? Humph! Stop slandering people, CP0."
"The Five Elders entrusted this mission to the Navy out of their trust in our Navy. We must of course ensure that the mission is completed perfectly!"
"This is a matter of great importance and we cannot afford to be careless. We must be careful when deciding on the candidate! Do you think there are many pirates on the sea who can meet the requirements of the Five Elders and have a reputation among pirates, have deterrence, and are powerful?"
"So we have to observe carefully and carefully select candidates! So it may take some time, please help report to the Five Elders when you return."
After Zhan Guo finished speaking, he picked up the hot tea on the table and drank it slowly.
"It's right to be cautious, but our CP's intelligence department gave the Navy a list of candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea a long time ago. Why haven't you sent anyone to contact them yet?"
The pigeon continued to ask.
"Snapped!"
Zhan Guo took out a few bounty warrants from the drawer and slammed them on the table.
"Speaking of which! I also want to ask what kind of scumbags are those "capable" pirates selected by your CP Intelligence Department?"
"The Francois Pirates, the Williamde Pirates, the Barbaree Pirates, and this Cotton Deck Pirates...these are all the "candidates" on your list. Do you know that their heads have been chopped off and taken to the naval base in exchange for bounties?!"
