An left, but Roger could feel her at all times through some kind of connection. Although they couldn't completely share their minds, they could have simple conversations.
Her main task was still to find clues about 'Dominion', which must have some connection with Makima...
Wait, isn't she going to join The Black Order?
Roger suddenly thought of this possibility.
First of all, The Black Order itself deals with demons, which also fits with what Kuchiki Byakuya said about the duty of a Soul Reaper, except that The Black Order's demon hunters kill demons, while Soul Reapers purify demons.
He didn't know what the difference was between the two, but it should just be an inner difference. On the surface, they both kill demons. Perhaps killing with the power of a Soul Reaper is purification?
Moreover, besides dealing with demons, The Black Order can also learn about Makima up close, perfectly fitting what Kuchiki Byakuya told him.
And An is a person who suddenly appeared in this world. She has no dark past. Even the World Government would never think that she is one with him.
In that case, she could enter a higher rank, even become an Admiral or something?
Roger returned to his companions' gathering place to rest. Being separated from An just now made him weaker.
Actually, Roger and Naraku are a bit alike. Naraku is an aggregate of demons and humans, and Roger also has the ability of the Combine Fruit to absorb external power. And they both have clones created by splitting themselves.
It's just that their personalities are completely different.
Some time passed, and Roger had recovered to about eighty percent. At this moment, he was on the ship holding a feast with his companions.
After he recovered, he no longer needed to hide. They returned to the sea, and this long-awaited voyage of course had to be celebrated with a feast.
However, at this moment, he suddenly spat out the wine in his mouth.
Pfft!
A lot of wine was spat onto Gaban opposite him. Gaban froze for a second, then angrily said, "What are you doing?!"
"Huh?!
Sorry, sorry!
!" Roger coughed for a long time as if he was choking. He quickly waved his hand, "It's nothing, I suddenly thought of something funny."
"Something funny?" Gaban restrained his anger again. He wasn't really angry in the first place. They had been partners for who knows how long, so how could he really get angry over such a small thing?
"No... nothing."
The reason Roger couldn't help himself wasn't because of the feast, but because of Ann.
He originally thought An would join The Black Order, but...
She actually ran off to the Marines!
......
"You want to join the Marines?"
Marine Headquarters, recruitment office.
A Marine Captain sat at the desk. He looked at the blue-haired woman standing in front of him and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Are you serious? This isn't a regular recruitment office. Only people with the strength of a general can join the Marines through this channel."
"That's right." Ann's lips curled up slightly. She stood in front of the desk, looked at the Captain wearing the coat of justice, and said in a soft but firm voice,
"I want to become a Marine Admiral!"
The World Draft has been in effect for some time.
And because of the Marines' 'achievements', a large number of talented people have joined the Marines, but unfortunately the third Admiral has not been filled.
Because the World Government has given the Marines an extra Admiral position this time to deal with the upcoming turbulent situation, it means that the Marines now have a three-Admiral system. Two of the Admirals are Zephyr and Ah Xing, and the third Admiral has been waiting for capable people to join.
It was because An knew this that she wanted to join the Marines.
Because through this World Draft, she should be able to become an Admiral quickly, which is much better than slowly working her way up in The Black Order.
Moreover, Makima may have some connection with Dominion. An felt that nothing good would happen to her subordinates. And Makima is also quite mysterious and terrible woman. Instead of being directly under her, it is better to poke around through the Marines.
"Become an Admiral?!"
The Captain was surprised. He looked at An in front of him.
A youthful and energetic girl, wearing a rather revealing shirt on her upper body and shorts on her lower body, showing off a pair of long legs. Why would such a girl choose to join the Marines?
And she even said she wanted to become a Marine Admiral?
"Little girl, the seat of Marine Admiral isn't something anyone can..."
He was about to say something, but suddenly Ann's figure disappeared. The next moment, she had a short blade in her hand, the edge of the blade was touching his neck.
"..." The Captain stared blankly at this scene. He...
Didn't see how An moved at all.
"Is it enough now?"
An put away the short blade. It was a weapon she found randomly, and it wasn't very easy to use, but it was good enough.
When she has Marine resources, it won't be difficult to find a good sword.
"Enough!"
The Captain looked at An but didn't speak. At this time, a man with a broken arm appeared on the other side. He laughed loudly, "Such fast movements. It's really enviable to have such speed at such a young age."
"K... Garp Vice Admiral!"
Seeing him appear, the Marine Captain immediately gave a fanatical salute. In the current Marines, Garp is seen as a god-like existence.
Garp, Ah Xing, and Tsuru are the three who were promoted by the World Government as having defeated Aatrox. However, Ah Xing himself has too little experience, and Tsuru's own strength is indeed inferior to Garp's, so Garp is actually the main focus of this propaganda.
After all, Garp had defeated Rocks D. Xebec before. Plus, defeating Aatrox wasn't a big deal.
So although Garp lost an arm, his prestige in the Marines is even stronger.
An looked at Garp who appeared, her expression unchanged.
She's not Roger now, she doesn't need to hide from Garp. Instead, she can appear in front of Garp openly. Thinking about it, she has a strange feeling in her heart.
If she becomes a Marine Admiral in the future...
Should she use Roger to earn some achievements?
Maybe she can even become a Marine Fleet Admiral by earning achievements from defeating herself in the future!
Once she becomes a Marine Fleet Admiral, it should be easy to contact Makima, right?
Thinking that way, she's a little excited.
She actually showed her strength just now because she sensed that Garp was nearby. An seems to be asking the Marine Captain if her strength is enough, but she's actually asking Garp.
That's why Garp said 'enough'.
"Work hard." Garp patted the Captain's shoulder. The Captain was flattered and his face turned red. He looked at An and said in a frightened manner,
"If you want to be a Marine Admiral, come with me."
