One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

A few days later.

Windmill Village Port.

On the beach of Windmill Village, An and the three of them, Ace, who looked unhappy, said goodbye.

"Don't look unhappy. I'll come back to see you when I have time." An comforted the three of them while hugging Luffy.

Letting go of Luffy, Ann took out three pendants from his pocket and put them on each of the three of them.

He spoke softly, "Let this necklace accompany each other instead of us."

Before leaving, An made one final confession: "Even if I'm not around, I still have to practice hard."

After saying this, An stopped looking back and turned around to board the warship from which she came.

The sails were raised and swayed by the sea breeze. The warship slowly left the windmill village and headed towards the blue sea.

An picked up the pendant around his neck, and inside was a photo of four people.

"When I came, I was alone."

"When I left, I was filled with thoughts."

Resisting the reluctance to say goodbye, Ace called out: "Come on Sabo, Luffy and we should go back to practice."

"We must be strong men whose reputation spreads across the sea, so that our sister can hear our name no matter where she is."

"Yeah! x2"

…

On the warship, as the three figures of Ace disappeared from sight, An walked straight into the training room of the warship.

After a while, An came out again.

Without it, An just used a little more strength during training and accidentally broke the training equipment.

Seeing that there was no way to train, the bored An returned to the deck again.

Finding an empty seat next to Garp, An also began to bask in the sun.

"The sunlight is too warm, making An feel sleepy."

…

"An wake up..."

Amid Cooley's constant shouting, Ann slowly opened her eyes.

Um……

Rubbing her eyes, An looked at her old acquaintance Major Cooley and asked, "What's wrong, Major Cooley?"

"Nothing, it's just noon. Lieutenant General Garp asked me to call you to the restaurant for dinner."

It was noon so soon, and An stretched and walked towards the restaurant.

At this time, many sailors had already begun to eat in the restaurant, and An came to Garp's side amidst everyone's greetings.

Unexpectedly, eight months later, these navy soldiers still remember An.

…

After lunch, Garp told Ann some stories about the Navy Headquarters on the deck.

During this period, Karp also mysteriously said that Ann would have a surprise when they got to the training camp.

After explaining some precautions, Garp asked An whether he had awakened his Haki.

The reason why he asked this was because Garp felt the residue of the armed color on the branch that An took out that day.

I have indeed awakened the armament color Haki and the knowledge color Haki, and Ann is not going to hide it from Garp.

Then the dark armed color crawled onto An's fist and showed it to Grandpa.

Hahaha!

"As expected of my granddaughter," Garp said with a proud smile as he looked at An's dark fist.

Bogart, who was not far away, was deeply shocked when he saw An using his armed domineering force.

"You can use armed Haki at the age of 11. What kind of monster did Lieutenant General Garp pick up?"

…

Navy Headquarters.

After this period of investigation, Sengoku has determined that the person An and Smoker met is Garp's granddaughter.

Taking An's resume, Warring States shouted: "Go and inform the three future marshal's offices."

After a while, three generals gathered in the office.

Sengoku looked at the three of them. Kizaru was trimming his nails with nail clippers.

Qing Pheasant put on a blindfold and closed her eyes to rest.

Only Akainu sat upright and waited for the marshal's instructions.

Looking at Aokiji, Garp’s beloved disciple.

Since the O'Hara incident, the change from "burning justice" to "lazy justice" has made Sengoku feel very regretful.

The three of them arrived, and Warring States gave three copies of their resumes to them.

Name: Monkey D. Ann

Age: 11 years old

Gender: Female

Devil Fruit: Suspected Animal Type, Fantasy Beast Species, Phoenix Fruit.

Strength: Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

Identity: Granddaughter of naval hero Garp.

Comprehensive evaluation: He has good strength, masters two kinds of domineering, is extremely talented, and is full of justice in his heart.

Looking at the content on his resume, Kizaru first made a lewd voice, "The granddaughter of Lieutenant General Garp is so scary!"

Aokiji, who had closed his eyes to rest, heard Kizaru's words, took off the blindfold on his head, and began to read the resume in his hand.

Until I read the last line, "My heart is filled with justice," I didn't know what I was thinking of, so I put on the blindfold again.

Ah la la, "It's really scary. Do you already have such strength at the age of 11?"

"She has even mastered domineering. She is worthy of being Mr. Garp's granddaughter."

"What do you think, Sakaski?"

Sengoku looked at Akainu, who had not spoken until now.

"Hmph! There's nothing interesting to see. Although his talent is good and his strength is not bad."

"But before you grow up, the so-called genius has very little effect."

"After all, I have killed many pirate geniuses over the years," Akainu said with murderous intent.

After hearing Sakaski's speech, Warring States made no comment.

"So I called you here today because I hope you know that there is such a person in the Navy."

"After all, the possibility of Karp's granddaughter growing up is very high."

"Once she grows up, the pattern of the sea will undergo earth-shaking changes."

"Our navy can also take more initiative in this," Sengoku said excitedly.

The three generals heard Marshal Zhan Guo's evaluation of An and looked at their resumes again.

At this time, An, who was far away in the East China Sea, didn't know that he had been noticed by several senior officials before he arrived at the Navy Headquarters.

...

An didn't know what Bogart was thinking, but he put away his armed color domineering in Garp's satisfied eyes.

In such a leisurely time, day after day passed.

...

Grand Line, near the Navy Headquarters.

Today, the dog-headed warship rushed out of the doldrums and officially entered the Grand Line.

Arriving here, it means that An's journey to the headquarters is only one day away.

And our An was lying on the guardrail of the warship at this time, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Grand Line.

"It's so beautiful!" An exclaimed sincerely.

"Don't take it lightly," Bogart heard An's evaluation and reminded him.

"Although the Grand Line is beautiful, it is also very dangerous."

Every year, countless people from all over the world flock here, but only a few can survive.

"Got it, Uncle Bogart."

An naturally would not refuse the kind reminder from others.

The warship sailed for another day and finally arrived at the Navy Headquarters.

The huge building complex of the Navy Headquarters also appeared in An's eyes.

The warship kept approaching.

The first thing that came into view was the magnificent city wall towering into the sky in the center, on which the word "Navy" full of historical traces was engraved.

Looking up, it was the quaint attic used by the Navy Office.

As the warship slowly sailed into the crescent-shaped port.

The densely packed artillery on the dock and the residential town on the square emerged.

The former symbolized the safety of the Navy Headquarters, and the smoke from the cooking over the latter added a touch of fireworks to the Navy Headquarters.

The warship stopped at the port and the soldiers left the ship in an orderly manner.

Noticing that An was attracted by the scenery of the headquarters, Garp asked An to follow him, and the two walked towards the residential town.

...

Squeak...

Pushing open the door of a two-story building, Cap said to An: "Find a room to rest for a night, and we will report to the training camp tomorrow."
