Hiss!
The Marine clerk recruiting soldiers drew a sharp breath.
As a Marine administrative personnel, he naturally had more knowledge than ordinary people and pirates.
He understood what the Logia-type Magma-Magma Fruit, known as the most offensive Devil Fruit, represented.
Not daring to delay,
He quickly led Sakazuki into the branch headquarters and to the branch commander's office.
"Report!"
"Enter."
Inside the office, Commander Jorison looked up from his paperwork.
He saw Yoor, who was visibly excited.
Beside him was a young man with a robust physique and determined features.
"What's going on? Why are you so agitated?"
"As a soldier, you must learn to control your emotions."
"Sergeant Yoor."
Yoor, filled with excitement, quickly said,
"Commander, this young man wants to join the Marines."
"He's a Logia-type, Magma-Magma Fruit user!"
Commander Jorison shot to his feet.
"What?!"
His expression was no better than Yoor's, full of shock and excitement.
Sakazuki also saw Jorison's full appearance.
Around 40 years old, with a cross-shaped scar on his face and a missing left arm.
All of this demonstrated the man's achievements.
Jorison rushed over and chuckled sincerely.
He patted Sakazuki on the shoulder excitedly, saying,
"Good! Good! Good!"
Sakazuki revealed a slight smile. *This feeling isn't bad.*
Jorison sized up the young man, and said,
"Forgive me, forgive me, it's just too..."
"Good! Good!!!"
He then laughed heartily. As his laughter gradually subsided, Jorison said,
"Come, have a seat here."
He took the registration form Yoor handed him, reading as he led Sakazuki toward the sofa.
"Sakazuki, 12... Hiss, reason..."
Once they were seated, Jorison said,
"Sakazuki, first of all, welcome to the Marines." "I am the commander of the 194th Marine Branch, Jorison."
Sakazuki nodded slightly.
"Hello, Commander."
Jorison smiled broadly.
"Sakazuki, a Logia-type user is extremely important to us."
"Especially a Magma-Magma Fruit user."
"I need to report this to headquarters before deciding on your assignment."
"Yoor will show you around our branch and arrange a dormitory for you."
Sakazuki knew that his joining the Marines would definitely cause a stir.
After all, setting aside the magma aspect, simply joining with any Logia-type Devil Fruit
Would amount to creating a strategic asset as one grew stronger.
Not to mention the cataclysmic abilities of the Magma-Magma Fruit.
After talking with Jorison for a while, Sakazuki left with Yoor.
Jorison picked up a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number.
---
Grand Line.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Inside the communications room, a Marine Headquarters operator answered the Den Den Mushi.
"Moshi moshi, this is headquarters."
Jorison's voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
"This is Jorison, commander of the 194th Branch in the North Blue."
"Connect me to Fleet Admiral Kong."
"It concerns a Logia-type user joining the Marines."
Hearing this, the headquarters operator did not dare delay.
"Okay, please wait."
He hurriedly transferred the call to Fleet Admiral Kong's Den Den Mushi.
Inside the Fleet Admiral's office.
Fleet Admiral Kong was reviewing documents.
Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi rang. He picked up the Den Den Mushi.
After hearing the operator's report, he told him to transfer the call to Jorison.
"This is Kong."
"What's the situation, Jorison?"
Jorison's voice rang from the Den Den Mushi.
"Fleet Admiral, this is what happened..."
---
North Blue, Windmill Island Marine Base.
Sakazuki was touring the base with Yoor.
He saw the orderly formations and the soldiers training enthusiastically, and it was clear that Jorison's management was effective. They spent half a day learning about the Marines.
As well as famous pirates and the power structure of the North Blue.
Jorison had also sent someone to summon him.
He said that headquarters had made its decision.
Entering the room,
Jorison stood up and said with a smile,
"Sakazuki, your assignment has been decided."
"You are granted the rank of Marine Lieutenant."
"You will temporarily train basic skills at the branch, and enter the elite class when you are ready."
"You will enter the headquarters academy for elite class training."
Sakazuki nodded in understanding.
"Lieutenant, huh? I thought it would be warrant officer."
Jorison laughed.
"Haha, ordinary Devil Fruit users start as warrant officers."
He waved the information in his hand.
"And I didn't expect you to be the infamous North Blue Demon."
"That's why headquarters directly granted you the rank of lieutenant."
---
Three years later.
Entrance to Reverse Mountain.
A warship accelerated and rammed into a pirate ship.
"Kill!"
A soft voice commanded.
Countless Marine soldiers charged onto the pirate ship, initiating a boarding battle.
It was a one-sided battle.
Soon, the shouts and cries faded.
The murderous Marine soldiers collected the spoils of war and jumped back onto their ship in formation.
"Brrr, brrr."
The Den Den Mushi rang.
The man answered the phone. Jorison's hearty voice came over the line.
"Sakazuki, come back."
"I've signed you up for this year's elite class. Get ready to report to headquarters."
Sakazuki's lips curled into a smile.
"Understood."
He hung up the Den Den Mushi and gazed at the silent pirate ship.
Sakazuki's right arm began to transform into magma.
It became a giant magma fist.
"Great Eruption!"
Boom!
