The next day, Ryu reported to Commodore Brannew. Upon seeing Brannew's green hair, he was taken aback—not for any other reason but because he recognized the major. Though he didn't know his name before, he had seen him in the anime.
Yes, he was the Navy's only official secretary who presided over the meeting to set the bounty on Luffy after Luffy's first reward, famously dubbed the "Meeting King" by fans.
"Commodore, hello! I'm the new recruit Ryu assigned to your team!" Ryu saluted respectfully.
Brannew put down the documents, smiling as he said, "I know you, the recruit who graduated early. I'm surprised you were assigned to me, but every few years, a few exceptional individuals emerge in the Navy."
Ryu wasn't sure how to respond to Brannew's comments.
"You still need to participate in regular group training, even though I know it might not be very meaningful for you. However, I can give you the privilege of choosing how to train during group sessions, but you must participate. It's a necessary process for you to integrate into the Navy! You can freely allocate your time outside of that," Brannew clarified, clearly aware of Ryu's situation.
"Alright, Major!" Ryu nodded in agreement.
He hadn't begun his intermediate physical training yet, so he didn't mind the physical exercises.
Brannew looked at Ryu with some surprise. He thought Ryu might not like collective physical training, which is why he had confronted the new recruits' instructor, ultimately graduating early.
"Also, I heard you've applied for a mission at sea. I need to explain that my work rarely requires going out to sea, so the soldiers under me mostly have no sea missions. Instead, they usually deal with administrative tasks. However, considering your situation, if you're assigned to another sea mission, it can still count toward my task quota!" Brannew smiled at Ryu, showing goodwill.
This was a response to Ryu agreeing to participate in training earlier.
"Thank you, Major!" Ryu understood this was an act of goodwill and expressed his gratitude with a bow.
"Alright, go participate in your training; I'll contact you directly if I need you!" Brannew waved him off.
Meanwhile, at the supply office:
"This is the pirate hunter Smoker mentioned, right? Hina doesn't like him!" A sexy woman with light pink, center-parted long hair and purple-tinted sunglasses said, holding Ryu's request for a sea mission, her expression unwavering.
"Yes, Rear Admiral Hina!" The staff member gazed at the woman with admiration.
"Even so, his potential is still significant, and he has a sense of justice!" At that moment, Lieutenant Tarlin, who had fought Ryu, entered, greeting Hina before speaking.
"Is that so? Looks like Hina needs to reassess him. Let's assign him to Hina's ship; she'll be going out to sea soon!" Read Admiral Hina nodded at Tarlin and instructed the staff.
The staff member quickly nodded, promptly handling the necessary paperwork, and soon someone would notify Ryu of the time to board the ship and prepare.
While Ryu was training, he was unaware that someone had taken notice of him. At that moment, he was training with weighted gear, completely absorbed in his exercises.
"Is that guy really a private?" a Marine soldier training alongside Ryu asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I heard that because of his strength, he was allowed to graduate early from the recruit camp!" another soldier whispered, seemingly afraid of being overheard by Ryu.
