Tsugikoku Yoshiichi carefully flipped through the information about Yamato in his hand, and a look of distress appeared on his face.
Zefa also saw the expression on Jiguo Yuanyi's face at this moment, and couldn't help but become curious and asked:
"Yuichi, you seem to be in a dilemma."
"What's wrong? I just asked you to speed up the selection process so as not to keep Tom waiting. I don't think you need to show such an expression, right?"
Zefa smiled and joked that since Yunyi came back, the old man has smiled a lot more often.
"It's not about Tom."
"Teacher Zefa, do you have any impression of this young man?"
As he spoke, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi handed the information in his hand to Zephyr. Curious, Zephyr took it and flipped through a few pages without finding anything unusual in Yamato's information. Then, a look of doubt appeared on his face:
"Yamato!"
"I've heard of him. He's a very outstanding young man."
"She is a rare female sailor in our new naval system."
"Strong, resolute, and impetuous, just like a boy."
"His devil fruit ability is also a rare mythical beast devil fruit, and he is an orphan. I remember he was sent here by the 'expected class' in Dressrosa."
Obviously, the female navy Yamato had left a deep impression in Zephyr's mind. Without even looking through any information, Zephyr casually said a lot of information about Yamato.
"Orphans? The expected class over at Dressrosa?"
The information about Yamato in the file does not include his background. The above information is all about Yamato's relevant experience after joining the new navy.
This was the first time that Yoshikazu Tsugakuni knew the information that Zefa said.
Yoriichi was quite surprised to hear that Yamato was sent from the Navy's prospective class in Dressrosa.
The so-called Navy Preparatory Class is actually an orphanage funded and built by their new navy. After the new navy headquarters in Dressrosa moved, the base left there was transformed into a comprehensive facility of school + orphanage.
The purpose of building an orphanage is actually to provide a safe environment for children who have lost their parents to grow up in. There are too many orphans in this ocean. If there are no formal institutions to shelter these people, there will be countless children who will be abducted, starved to death, or go on the road of crime in the future.
If you want to completely drive out pirates, it is far from enough to just form a powerful army to fight them.
The new navy must find a way to improve the soil so that pirates have no environment to thrive.
Only in this way can the influence of pirates be eliminated to the lowest level one day. Of course, complete extermination is impossible. As long as humans have desires, pirates will continue to appear.
Being able to effectively curb the emergence of pirates and reduce their influence as much as possible is no longer a human-made task.
Yamato is the daughter of Kaido, the King of Beasts. Tsugakuin originally thought that the child would be raised by Kaido on an unknown island, but he did not expect that Kaido's daughter would actually live under the nose of the New Navy.
He even joined the new navy for a time, and made some achievements in the new navy, entering the vision of the top leaders.
Kaido's daughter.
It is impossible to say that Tsugikoku Yoshiichi has no doubts about Yamato's identity. However, one thing that cannot be denied is that Yamato's talent is indeed exceptional. She is young and has great potential. If trained properly, she will definitely be an important pillar of the new navy in the future.
Even for a force like the New Navy, which is full of powerful people, it is not easy to cultivate a young pillar-type strongman.
This kind of personnel is often hard to come by. The Marine Headquarters under the World Government has been established for so many years. Even at its peak, not counting the old and declining veterans, the headquarters probably did not have more than a handful of admiral-level combat forces.
It was precisely because Tsugakuni Yoshiichi saw the terrifying potential of the child Yamato that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi fell into a dilemma.
If his talent was not that outstanding, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi would not want to take any risks at all.
But if the talent reaches Yamato's level, it's worth the gamble.
Just like how the Marine Headquarters treated Yoshiichi Tsugakuni back then, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, who had just joined the Navy, used his talent to gain recognition from all the senior leaders. In fact, as early as when Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was in his teens, he had already shown signs of rebelling against the Celestial Dragons.
In the history of the navy, only a very small number of troublemakers would take action against the CP, the World Government's direct intelligence agency, and those headquarters navy officers who took action against CP agents, without exception, ended up dead.
Only Yoshiichi Tsugakuni had killed CP0 and the Knights of God, and he even served as a navy admiral for a period of time.
The reason why the senior executives of the headquarters protected Tsugakuni Yoriichi so much at that time was, on the one hand, because he had a very good relationship with Garp, Zephyr and others, and on the other hand, an important reason was that Tsugakuni Yoriichi's talent and strength were terrifying enough, and he was being trained by the senior executives of the headquarters to be a marshal.
Although Tsugakuin Yoshiichi later embarked on a path that went against the will of those high-ranking naval officers, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's influence on the world was in line with the expectations of the high-ranking officers at the time. It was just that this influence was not bestowed on their naval headquarters.
Yuichiro is not sure whether Yamato will be able to reach the level of Yuichiro today in the future, but what is certain is that within ten years, the new navy will be able to train Yamato into an admiral-level combat force.
General-level combat power is also the real top combat power in today's world.
"Yamato's background is clean, and his strength and talent are unquestionable."
"In terms of combat power, neither Zoro nor Kuina can compare to her."
"Speaking of which, when you planned to form a young team to go out to sea for training, I thought of Yamato."
"Although she's 22, she's not that old. She's carried out a lot of missions over the years, so she's not a newbie."
"But I suggest you put her in there. If the whole boat is filled with young people who have no experience at sea, I'd be a little worried. It would be a good idea to have someone older and more experienced to assist them."
Zephyr admires the young man Yamato very much. He has no idea that Yamato is the daughter of Kaido, the King of Beasts, and that Yamato is of pirate bloodline.
Zefa, who has always been fair, is just discussing the matter at this moment.
Zefa's words also made Ji Guoyuan waver at first.
"Is this Yamato at the headquarters?"
"I want to see this child with my own eyes."
Ji Guoyuan pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart.
No matter whose daughter Yamato is, Tsugikuni Yoriichi cannot deny Yamato's own value and her achievements in building the new navy.
If Yamato's purpose of joining the new navy was not pure and he wanted to seek revenge in this way, then Yoriichi Tsugikuni would not mind giving the other party a chance to fight with him.
Before this, Yamato's identity as a new navy officer would not be deprived because of her background.
If she grew up in an orphanage in Dressrosa, then she herself is innocent, and that's enough.
"Did you see it in person?"
"Well, it's no problem. There won't be any problem with this Yamato kid."
"She's not a gossipy person either."
Zefa was also a little surprised to hear that Tsukuni Yoshiichi was planning to meet Yamato in person. He hadn't expected that Tsukuni Yoshiichi would notice Yamato's talent just by looking through the information and would attach so much importance to this young man.
What Zefa didn't know was that Tsugikoku Yoriichi didn't judge Yamato's character based on the information.
In autumn, the fragrance of sweet osmanthus and the smell of cream on the cake island blend together. The intoxicating fragrance makes the new navy on the island work more efficiently.
The windows of Ji Guoyuan's office were wide open, and a cool breeze carrying fragrance rushed into the room.
In front of the desk, a female navy officer in a school officer's uniform and with a long sword at her waist was looking into the eyes of Yuichiro Tsugikoku behind the desk, their faces full of excitement and cheer.
"Yamato, can you tell me why you want to join the new navy?"
The female navy standing in front of the desk of Tsugakuin Eriichi at this time is Yamato, the daughter of Kaido, the King of Beasts.
The new navy's officer uniform is very slim-fitting. The young Yamato has an upright posture and looks very heroic, which actually gives Tsugumi Yoshiichi a very decent feeling. The first impression left in Tsugumi Yoshiichi's mind is quite good.
Yamato's sword is a rare two-handed sword. Yamato, who is nearly 260cm tall, gives people a strong sense of oppression when carrying such a long sword. His momentum is not weakened by his overly delicate and beautiful appearance.
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni raised his head slightly, looked at Yamato in front of him, and asked.
Hearing Tsugakuni Yoriichi's question, Yamato's breathing became a little rapid. Realizing that he was a little nervous, Yamato closed his eyes and adjusted his mood a little before answering Tsugakuni Yoriichi solemnly:
"Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi!"
"It's because of you that I chose to join the New Navy. You're the idol we've admired since we were little!"
Without hearing any routine answers like "for justice", Yamato started to flatter Tsugikuni Yoriichi without any scruples.
But the strange thing is that under the observation of Tsugakuin Yoriichi's observation Haki, Tsugakuin Yoriichi actually found that what Yamato said was true.
This perception actually made Ji Guoyuan feel a little embarrassed.
The young man was flattering him in front of him, but Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was not thick-skinned enough to accept it calmly.
"An idol to worship?"
"That's a rather unusual answer indeed."
"Yamato, you already know about the Rising Star Project, right?"
"Your talent, potential, and the hard work and contributions you have made since joining the new navy have all been noticed by the higher-ups."
"And that's why you are one of the candidates for the Rising Star Program."
"I'll tell you clearly that the Rising Star Program is to select future successors."
"All those selected, if they grow as expected after returning, will become the successors of the new navy in the future."
"For this reason, we conduct strict identity checks on all candidates."
"Yamato, you are no exception."
As Jiguo Yuanyi spoke, he carefully observed Yamato's expression.
However, the young Yamato looked calm and was not affected at all by what Tsugikuni Yoriichi said. Instead, he nodded slightly, as if he was listening attentively.
“.”
"Doesn't this kid understand what's being said?"
Seeing Yamato's expression, Jiguo Yuanyi sighed softly and continued:
"Yamato, who is your father?"
After hearing this, the expression on Yamato's face changed slightly, and the look of attentive listening turned into a look of confusion.
"my father."
Distant memories were brought back. At this moment, Yamato's hands were clearly empty, but suddenly, Yamato saw a pair of heavy shackles handcuffed on his hands.
The trauma Yamato suffered in his childhood was brought back to mind when Jigoku Yoshiichi mentioned his father. When he thought of the dark cave, Yamato felt a darkness in front of his eyes.
As his memory recalled, Yamato saw a bright and warm light suddenly appear in the darkness.
【Kaido. Lord Kaido was killed! 】
【.】
[The New Navy has attacked the Hive, go and fight them.]
Voices rang in Yamato's ears, and she had already forgotten who was speaking in her ears at that time. What she still remembered was that when the door of the dungeon was opened, a group of young new navy officers in uniform came into view.
When Jiguoyuan saw that Yamato was lost in thought, he had no intention of urging him.
The sunlight poured into the house over the windowsill and shone on Yamato, making her feel warm. The familiar fragrance in the air also brought Yamato back to reality.
She has been in the new navy for several years and has long regarded this place as her home.
Life in the new navy is very fulfilling, and Yamato is moving towards his dream step by step.
Father? !
If it weren't for Jiguoyuan mentioning it at this time, Yamato would not have remembered that person at all.
She has no way to choose what kind of father she will have, but she can choose what kind of future she will have.
The figure of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi in front of him became clearer and clearer. Seeing the person he had always admired sitting in front of him, Yamato also showed a relieved smile on his face:
"Report, my father is Kaido, the Beast King, a pirate."
"But Mr. Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, the reason I chose to join the New Navy is because it is the path I chose myself!"
"I joined the New Navy because I admired you. I want to follow the same path as you."
"For this reason, no matter how this headquarters intends to deal with me, I will continue to be a new navy officer until the moment I die."
The more he understood his feelings, the brighter the smile on Yamato's face became.
In front of Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Ohga spoke his mind without hiding anything.
When these somewhat childish words came out of Yamato's mouth, a serious look appeared on Yoriichi's face.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichirō could feel that the emotions expressed by Yamato at this moment were real. This child must be full of hatred for his father, so much so that when he faced the murderer of his father, he would express such emotions.
To be honest, Tsugumi Yoshiichiro couldn't empathize with the suffering of Yamato's original family.
But he understands pirates.
Yamato, who grew up in a pirate den, will either become a pirate like Kaido, or he will hate pirates more than anyone else.
"Yamato, I understand your thoughts."
"Congratulations, you've passed my interview and officially become a part of the Rising Star Program."
Yamato's statement also made Tsugikuni Yoriichi no longer hesitate.
It is rare to have some light in a dark life, and Yoriichi Tsugakuni will not close the door in front of Yamato because of Kaido.
