I've Already Become An Admiral And Now The System Shows Up?

Kenji carefully re-read the system mission content and found that the description of this mission had no clear standards.

"Recruit potential students? What kind counts as potential? Talents who can learn 'Six Styles'?" He secretly speculated in his heart.

But this time, he couldn't infer anything. The information provided by the system was too little, basically pure guesswork.

Fortunately, the general mission conditions were still relatively clear. There were only two.

One was to establish a training camp, and the other was to recruit potential students.

Considering that the mission difficulty was linked to the reward content, Kenji could roughly tell from the rewards of this side mission that the difficulty would not be very high.

"It seems that the main difficulty of this mission should not be in recruiting students..."

Kenji suddenly thought, 'I am looking at this side mission from the perspective of an Admiral. What would it be like if I looked at it from the 'strongest student' perspective in the system timeline?'

"A newcomer who just graduated from Marine School would probably be penniless."

He recalled his own situation when he had first graduated, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

"That's right, a newcomer who has just officially joined the Marine has no money, no connections, no suitable subordinates, and no suitable venue..."

"So the biggest difficulty of this mission is establishing a training camp."

"So the pitfall was here all along!"

Establishing a training camp and recruiting students involve many things—

Building a camp requires finding a relatively safe island, spending money to buy land, and then spending money to build the camp.

Recruiting students requires certain connections or influence. Otherwise, how would others know if you are reliable?

Finally, once you recruit students, you have to teach them. If you don't have suitable trusted subordinates to be instructors, you'll have to do it yourself.

"Overall, the difficulty cannot be said to be very great, but for a rookie Marine, it would take a relatively long time to complete."

Kenji considered it carefully and found that if this mission were given to him when he was a rookie, it would probably take him several years to complete.

However, this mission also had its advantages. It wasn't dangerous and it was a long-term mission.

"Hmm, this time returning to East Blue, I'll also look into the training ground issue." Kenji was not in a hurry.

He didn't have to worry much about student resources. The only thing he needed to consider was the site selection for the training ground.

He was establishing a training camp not just to complete a system mission, but to cultivate his own team.

Therefore, in terms of site selection, safety and stability must be considered.

East Blue, as the so-called 'weakest sea' according to the pirates, is undoubtedly a good choice. Incidentally, the rookies in the training camp can also go out and gain experience by finding pirates.

Kenji pondered for a moment, a rough plan already forming in his mind.

When he looked up again, he found that Zephyr opposite him was still immersed in painful struggle.

"Alright, it's getting late. Go back and think about it slowly." Kenji glanced at the fiery sunset outside the window, telling Zephyr to go home and consider.

Kenji estimated that by the time Zephyr had fully considered it, his training camp should be almost established.

After Zephyr left, Kenji turned around and looked at Sakazuki standing by the door.

It must be said that Sakazuki's discipline as a soldier was very strong.

He had maintained a straight military posture ever since he followed Kenji into the Admiral's office.

From entering the door until now, Sakazuki had not moved a single step.

Kenji nodded in approval of his performance, then thought for a moment, and suddenly reached out to take out a Devil Fruit.

Logia-type Mag-Mag fruit!

The fruit was extended on his palm.

Sakazuki instantly recognized this Devil Fruit, his pupils involuntarily contracting slightly.

An indescribable sense of palpitation impacted his heart.

However, he still did not move at all.

Kenji smiled upon seeing this. "You seem to recognize this fruit?"

"...Yes, Admiral Shirojishi! It's the Logia-type Mag-Mag fruit!" Sakazuki said in a deep voice, as if flames were flickering in his eyes.

"Mm." Kenji nodded, then very casually put away the Mag-Mag fruit under Sakazuki's gaze.

Good things cannot be given directly, but they can be shown to others.

If you don't show it to others, how can they know that you have something they desire?

"Do you know why I chose to specially recruit you?"

Kenji continued without waiting for Sakazuki's response, "You will be performing a Garrison mission with the rank of Marine Lieutenant Commander."

"There will be another Marine Lieutenant as your partner."

After listening completely, Sakazuki immediately asked, "May I ask where the location of the Garrison mission is?"

Kenji was quite satisfied with his performance and raised his hand to signal. "No need to rush, tomorrow I will depart with you both to that place."

"The place you are going to be stationed is Loguetown, the entrance town to the Grand Line!"

...

Half a month later, in the waters near Loguetown.

The Marine warship Kenji was on was about to reach the pier. Behind him stood Sakazuki, who had been promoted to Marine Lieutenant Commander, and Marine Lieutenant Magellan.

Among them, Magellan's Marine Lieutenant rank was temporary, as he was not an officially enlisted Marine.

Soon after, the warship slowly docked, and the group, led by Kenji, successively disembarked in Loguetown.

"It's been a long time since I've been here."

Kenji surveyed Loguetown, which was still bustling with people as usual, and secretly called up the system's main mission in his mind.

[Mission (Main - Long-term): Protect Loguetown, capture pirates!]

[Reward: Weekly Loguetown public order meeting standards can earn rewards - Upgrade a random owned trait 1 time (Basic reward)!]

"Hmm, the main mission content is actually just one: capture troublesome pirates to protect Loguetown."

"The reward content is linked to the town's weekly public order status."

After careful analysis, this main mission now only had one question for Kenji.

"If I am not present, and only my subordinates maintain public order, will it meet the system's judgment criteria?"

Kenji recalled the system's main missions he received when he awakened the system, all of which required him to complete them personally.

However, at that time, in the system's timeline, he was still a student at Marine School.

But now, the system had judged him to be exceptionally promoted to Marine Captain as the strongest student.

This was also why Sakazuki and Magellan's highest ranks were only Lieutenant Commander, because if they were also Captains, they would be on the same level.

What Kenji wanted was for the system to judge these two as his subordinates.

"Since it's a Garrison mission for a Marine Captain, it's normal to have some subordinates, right? Such a large town cannot be managed by me alone."

"If I'm tied up with other matters and can't break away, letting my subordinates deal with the troublesome pirates, isn't that very reasonable?"

Kenji's general line of thought was like this, but whether these arrangements of his were truly reasonable would still depend on the system's judgment.
