Chapter 40 : Intern



Soon it was the beginning of spring.

Blaze is 11 years old.

Nearly three years have passed since he came to Pirate World.

Before the snow completely melted, Garp, wearing a dog-head hat and a cloak of justice, came to pick Blaze up on a warship.

"Then I'll go one step ahead."

Blaze, carrying a long sword and a package, stood beside Garp and waved goodbye to Kuina, Ace, Luffy, Makino and others.

"Well, I will also go to sea in a few years."

Ace grinned at him, "Let's see each other on the sea then. Blaze."

"Okay , I will be waiting for you too."

Little Luffy waved to Blaze vigorously, grinning: "Blaze, remember to come back to visit sometime! By the way, if you see Sabo, you must remember to write to me and tell me."

"Ok."

Blaze smiled at both of them, "Even if I leave, don't be lazy. When I see you next time, you better be strong enough to fight with me like nothing."

"Don't worry, I will be able to beat you up by then!"

"These are some of my new wines, which should suit your taste. Take it."

Makino stepped forward and handed a wooden box containing a wine bottle to Blaze.

Blaze thanked her.

" I will be back soon sister Makino, please look after Kuina a little , she tends to be a little too hardworking sometime "

" Look who's saying about hardworking...." Kuina said

Makino smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at Blaze with a gentle smile as always, "I look forward to hearing your name on the sea soon, Blaze."

Blaze nodded with a smile then looked at Kuina at last, she didn't say anything, just stretched out a fist at him with a smile.

Blaze understood what she meant.

Don't forget our promise...

"Are you ready to go brat?"

Garp, with his arms folded, looked at him and asked.

"Yeah."

"Then let's go."

Blaze nodded, waved to everyone then turned and followed Garp as he walked away from the road.

Kuina stopped and watched from where she was for a long time.

"Kuina, let's go back."

Makino put a hand on her shoulder and said softly.

"Sister Makino, am I weak?"

"No, you are already very strong."

Kuina shook her head: "It's still not enough. I can feel that the gap between me and him is getting further and further. This is not what I want."

Makino didn't know what to say.

"If I continue like this, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see his back, let alone becoming the strongest swordsman..."

Kuina's eyes were firm.

"I have to become stronger!"

......

On the warship.

Blaze, who had put his luggage in the room, stood alone by the railing, watching the island getting smaller and smaller.

Behind him, several marine cadets looked at the little figure and talked.

"That is the Marine intern who was specially recruited by Fleet admiral Sengoku in the rumor?"

"Well looks a little to young ."

"Is he a devil fruit user?"

"I don't know."

Garp, wearing a white suit, a dog's head hat and a robe of justice, walked over and said to the marines: "Bwahaha you can asked later for now set sail"

"Ah, yes, yes!!"

After driving away the marines, Garp walked to Blaze and looked at him with a smile: "How is your haki training?"

"Not very good, there is no suitable opponent so progress is slow."

Blaze said, lying on the railing, looking at the sea in front of him.

"Bwahaha, when you arrive at Marine headquarters, you can have as many opponents as you want."

Garp laughed.

"I'm speaking in advance, I'm just an intern recruited by Marine and I won't help Marine catch pirates or something."

"Marine is not short of people yet to the point where it needs an 11-year-old brat to lead soldiers to catch the pirates and truth to be told you're just like a visitor allowed because of me , so learn everything you can in your internship." Garp dugged his nose.

"I have already talked to Sengoku, you can go to the Marine Academy to visit and learn. After you train with the strong there, you will definitely become stronger."

Blaze glanced at Garp, a little surprised:

"Marine is so relaxed for me?"

"Well... I still want you to join marine in future ."

Garp flicked his booger, "That old man Sengoku is still too anxious for future marine generation even after having three monsters there . And although you don't have much value for now, your potential is monstrous ,if you join marines in the future then it's power can be raised higher"

"After the three-year internship period, even if you don't want to join Marine at the end, as long as you don't help the pirates and take Marine as enemies then you can always wear the title of Marine Special Intern, except that you can't mobilize the army and weapons. There are still a lot of other privileges, which should be very useful to you."

"But if you show that you are close to the pirates and hostile to Marine..."

Garp said , stopping to look at Blaze.

Blaze understood the meaning in his eyes.

"I will be wiped out in the cradle as soon as possible."

Garp laughed. "That's about it."

Garp actually left some details.

The fact that Blaze became a intern of Marine has caused some controversy within Marine. Some people did not agree to change Marine's rules for the sake of a child.

It was Sengoku who took out the authority of the fleet admiral to eliminate all differences.

If Blaze betrays Marine, Sengoku will be the one to take the main responsibility.

And this decision was made not because Sengoku believed in a child who had never been tested, but because he believed in his best friend Garp. And is willing to take out his position as a fleet admiral to help him once .
