Zhan Guo looked up at the sky. His eyes seemed to see through the ceiling of the office and saw the boundless blue.
"The words above are the orders I gave you as a marshal.”
"As an old friend, I want to tell you the following.”
"I could turn a blind eye to that little fellow back then, and I can also turn a blind eye to it in the future.”
"However, as an old friend, there are some things that I have to tell you.”
"As he grows up, it would be fine if he could live his life peacefully, but if…"
"You can probably foresee the ending."
"He only has two best choices.”
Karp nodded with a heavy expression. Although Sengoku did not say the rest, he knew what he was going to say.
He could either be an ordinary person and live a mediocre life. After a few decades, no one would care about the descendants of the Pirate King.
He could either join the navy, as Sengoku was a marshal now, and he had the ability to forge information for him.
As for the other choices…the result was the same.
He had thought of these things long ago, but he had been limited to not having the time to properly teach his grandchildren.
The sea was too noisy. If it weren't for him, how many innocent civilians would have died under the pirates 'blades?
In order to protect more unarmed civilians, he had no choice but to abandon his family and devote all his energy to suppressing the pirates.
This was also the main reason for his family's failure.
"This time, I'll give you a year's long vacation. I also want you to have a good rest.”
"I've worked hard for most of my life, but in the end, I don't even have much time to spend with my family.”
"Now that the sea is a little calmer, let's take a break and rest.”
Karp opened his mouth. Of course, he knew his old friend's good intentions, but the calm sea he spoke of was only relative. How could Karp not know what the real situation was like?
"Alright, alright, stop lying here. I'll give you a break. How can I not know how happy you are?”
Sengoku rolled his eyes at Karp helplessly. In an instant, the nostalgic and melancholic atmosphere changed.
Old Master Karp revealed his big white teeth again and laughed as he ate the immortal shell.
"I'll directly cover for you."
Zhan Guo sat up straight and said,"
"We have already arranged a new plan. If it succeeds, the sea should be peaceful for a few years in the future.”
"Moreover, your grandson has gone too far. Going too far is as bad as falling short. It's good to hide it for a period of time.”
"As for the one-year leave I gave you, just treat it as my gamble.”
"I bet that you can train three great generals for me in this year!”
"Using a year to bet on the stability of the next few decades, I think it's worth a try!”
"Then, I'll give you a year off as well. I've already told you the reason.”
"As a hero of the navy, it's understandable for him to take a long vacation to spend time with his family when he's old.”
"There is a third aspect.”
"Because of you and me, other than the Red Hound, the other two of the newly appointed three little fellows are a little lazy.”
"I also plan to take advantage of your absence to educate them again. As a general, you have to act like a general!”
After telling Karp everything he could, Sengoku heaved a sigh of relief.
"Give me an answer. Are you going to accept it or not?"
Looking at the piece of paper in Sengoku's hand, Karp grinned.
"What's there to hesitate about? It's a year of vacation!”
"Bogart! Prepare to sail! The mission is a one-year vacation!"
"Hey! You rotten old man! I only gave you a vacation! Bogart and the others, you have to stay here!”
"Bogart, tell me, are you willing to go on vacation with me, or are you willing to listen to the mission assignment of the Warring States?”
Bogart, who had just walked in from the door, looked up at the Sengoku Marshal and then at the smiling Karp.
"I'm sorry, Marshal Sengoku, I'm Lieutenant General Karp's adjutant.”
Zhan Guo was so angry that he panted. With a wave of his pen, he quickly wrote the second list.
"In that case, I'll arrange a mission for you to train in the East Sea! Go to Donghai and train those ruffian soldiers into soldiers!”
"Yes, sir! I promise to complete the mission!"
……
When Yin Lin heard Karp's story, he was dumbfounded.
In his previous life, he had never heard of such an arrangement in the Warring States.
Could it be that she was influenced by him in this life?
Yin Lin looked up at Karp and then at Zefa, who was sitting behind the desk.
It didn't seem like it was a bad thing to go back with the old man.
Originally, he did not intend to be a pirate in this life. With this year's time, he believed that with the joint efforts of him and the old man, Ace and Luffy would definitely be loyal to the navy.
Moreover…he was also very supportive of the fact that the old man could have a year off.
"It's fine if you want me to go back, but can you bring Ain with you?”
"Why?" Zefa asked.
"Because Ain uses dual swords. I asked her, and her previous teacher was also a sword master, so I plan to bring her along to further her studies.”
"What do you think, Karp?"
"The relationship between you and your granddaughter-in-law needs to be nurtured from a young age.”
Zefa was speechless.
