Maybe his father played a role in seeing the headlines?
When the entire base was in a heated discussion early in the morning, those naval uncles, aunts and his younger brother looked at him with strange looks. He still couldn't understand what was going on, and he accidentally glanced at the newspaper in the hands of one admiral. What was going on?
Could this be a headline too? He wanted to ask this newsroom: Are you serious?
You didn't take a picture of Roger and Garp fighting, or the golden lion, Rayleigh and Senguku, the three giants fighting each other. Instead, you took a picture of me swearing madly at the golden lion. As soon as the papers came out, he realized that his debut was too smooth. Apparently, someone wants to make his career more difficult or speed up his end.
But he had no time to think about the news agency's position. One more thing was waiting for him. If his father saw this paper, it would be a wonder if he didn't have a heart attack.
But... regarding his father's position, although he was once the leader of Sengoku and Zephyr, that was many years ago. Senguku and Zephyr were new recruits back then. Although it feels like his father is just an ordinary vice admiral, and one who is about to retire. In the last battle, several vice admirals died.
With his father's status, it's unlikely that it will influence the decision of giants like Sengoku and Kong.
"I don't know what's going on, but Admiral Sengoku received a call from Fleet Admiral Kong earlier, so he instructed me to inform you. I think it might be Fleet Admiral Kong's will. Don't complain, take a rest, and leave tomorrow," Miki said to his younger brother with a smile.
In the last battle, he saw the potential of his younger brother. Several groups were more impressive than rumored, and were not inferior to the three little monsters of Logia. This guy definitely has a bright future!
Mickey used to be friendly with his younger brother because he always treated him warmly, and he enjoyed competing with Borsalino. For a person who spends twice as much as others in Sabaody District 5, a 17 or 18 year old who eats like an adult, doesn't that mean he's young and doesn't care about appearances?
Things are different now. Although the younger brother was a bit harsh in the last battle, he scolded the golden lion so much that even an outside observer like Mickey could not stand it. But the courage, ability and potential shown by this young Marine indicated that he would become a real star.
They're definitely going to be the best of the Marines, and with that little brother covering his back, he might be as tough as old Vice Admiral Curry.
In fact, Mickey himself didn't know why Leonardo was acting like an old man. He knew that Sengoku would become a high-ranking Marine in the future.
Come to think of it, if Sengoku becomes a high-ranking Marine, wouldn't his adjutant rise to the top?
It's hard to say whether he will get promoted. After all, it's a big step to go from a rear admiral to a vice admiral. It's not easy for an ordinary person to do, but Mickeys status will definitely increase as the current adjutant of Sengoku.
Although his father is surrounded by two younger marines of the admiral, he can't be special. Wherever there are special people, they are the most hated. In terms of dealing with people, his father is definitely the best.
"Fleet Admiral Kong? Did he notice a small fry like me who just debuted?" he chuckled.
He knew he had already caught the attention of Fleet Admiral Kong when he fought Kuzan. But usually, talents with little potential from the Marine Academy or those whom Zephyr considers promising stand out. However, such talents are few and far between, their group is small. In the first episodes, dozens of people were marked by Kong, and a Marines sitting in the audience would hardly take the time to pay attention to a small fry like him.
"You're not a small fry, don't you know that? You're famous all over the world now. Even Sakazuki and the others are much less famous than you. There's no one in the sea who hasn't heard of you," Mickey said, laughing.
How many rookies dream of being noticed by the leaders when they debut, and are willing to literally bend over backwards for fame. He had seen too many of them over the years. Borsalino thought he was famous from the start. Admiral Sengoku was impressed by the pirates' performance in the first half of the Line, so he was transferred to his subordinates immediately after graduation. And Sakezuki was too ruthless, although he was quite famous, but Admiral Sengoku did not want such people around. It could easily affect the internal unity.
As it turned out, this guy was already famous overseas, and the other Marines felt like small fry.
- ...If I say that I didn't plan this, will you believe me?
Leonardo shrugged at Mickey's mockery. He knew there was no point in explaining. The newspapers had already blown it all out of proportion. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Now, looking back on it, it seems quite exciting and even funny...
After Mickey left, Leonardo stood by the door, looking around. After making sure no one was there, he quickly closed the door and sat down on the bed, crossing his legs, to seriously count the "harvest" from the last war.
Yes, exactly "harvest".
In the last battle, he not only surpassed the triple-digit mark in his career in terms of pirate captures, but also worked with Kuzan and Kizaru to capture a pirate from the New World with a bounty of over 250 million – the strongest among the Flying Pirates, Great Swordsman Weeis. This record allowed him and Kuzan to complete their internship and receive the rank of Commodore. If he continues to work hard, he will be able to capture a few more pirates with a bounty of over 100 million in the future. After his internship, he will definitely receive the rank of Rear Admiral.
The pirates' bounties during this period were not very high. Even legends like Whitebeard, Roger, and the Golden Lion only had bounties of 300-400 million. Future Emperors like Big Mom , or Kaido, who was now just a big second-tier pirate, had bounties of slightly more than 200 million, approaching 300 million.
Of course, the strength of many pirates is not always reflected in their reward. Not to mention the Shiki and Kaido and the Big Mom were almost on par with them.
But for pirates, who have a higher bounty, naturally, more trump cards, and the records of the Marines are directly related to the bounties of pirates. This Weiss is a real swordsman. The strength of several uncle vice admirals is certainly impressive, but considering that elite vice admirals are higher, and such pinnacles as Sengoku are not yet at the peak of their form...
