Haha, sorry to bother you, but here's the thing. I have a son who, you know, isn't all that outstanding, but he's pretty talented, even better than me. I was originally planning on sending him to the Naval College for a couple of years, and after he graduated, I'd ask you to look after him. I'd become a vice admiral, and he'd have a stable and safe life. But, you see, he accidentally ate a very powerful Devil Fruit. Now he can fight that same Kuzan that Garp brought to headquarters. Admiral Zephyr reported this to Fleet Admiral Kong, and he's already included my son in the list. It seems like a good thing, but you see, I'm already old, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to have a son like that again... I know all too well how dangerous the sea can be. I don't expect much from him, I just want him to be normal, average. It would be fine, but now the situation has changed, and I can't challenge Fleet Admiral's decision. So I want to ask you for a favor - don't wait until he graduates, take him with you when he goes on an internship abroad in his second year. Let this guy become Polsalino's adjutant or something like that...
Old Curry repeated his ideal plan for how his son should grow up to be a vice admiral.
- Hm? So little Curry ate a powerful Devil Fruit?
After hearing his older brother's plan for his son's future, Sengoku wasn't too surprised. After all, his older brother had always been that kind of person, otherwise he wouldn't have asked him to help him transfer to the East Sea and enter the Grand Line. What surprised him was the fact that his older brother could have such a promising son. It was almost as absurd as Garp having a good son like Dragon.
Kuzan's reputation is all thanks to Garp, who asked him to help promote him in Marineford. There are two Logia supernovas, Sakazuki and Borsalino, especially the latter who is still hanging around with him, so he knows how strong the Logia can be. It can be said that Kuzan was already noticed by him and Fleet Admiral Kong before he arrived in Marineford. In the future, he will definitely become one of the three admirals.
Since Sengoku is currently in the New World, news from headquarters is not very fast. He really didn't know that his elder brother's son could compete with Kuzan. Even if it is due to the fruit's ability, his own potential is definitely not bad.
- Haha, not so bad. They say it's a new fruit that's not in the Devil Fruit catalog - a special Paramecia, the Forest Fruit. It can instantly create forests... It was thanks to this ability that he fought Kuzan. They say that the large stadium in the Marine Academy has already turned into a forest thanks to it...
Old Curry was a little embarrassed, but there was a hint of parental pride in his voice.
- Well then... No problem. I'll mention this to Fleet Admiral Kong when I meet him at headquarters. In any case, it's too early...
The older brother said, and even if the other was a complete loser, Sengoku would help him out for the sake of decades of friendship. And here's a potential star, so there's nothing wrong with helping out a little.
Sengoku is more flexible in this regard than Zephyr.
- Then I rely on you. You are busy, I will not distract you anymore.
When old Curry heard Sengoku's agreement, he breathed a sigh of relief.
- Hey, Dad, even if you ask Admiral Sengoku for help, you don't have to belittle your son like that, right? I don't know how many people dream of having a son who's not as good as me these days...
As old Curry hung up, Leonardo walked into the room and shook his head in bewilderment.
Although he said so, he heard his father's conversation with Admiral Sengoku. I must say, this father of his is very funny!
He hasn't even finished his studies yet, and they are already paving the way for his future. If there are no force majeure events, even if he is a loser, he will definitely succeed in a couple of decades. After all, the future Sengoku will become Fleet Admiral of the Marines. Under his wing, advancement and wealth will come like clockwork.
- If you ask for help, you need to do it with the right attitude. If you don't understand, you'll understand later.
Old Curry sipped his tea from the table and answered indifferently.
The son is still young, let him study. You can't demand that he think about everything as he does. This is his life experience, accumulated over decades...
So far, other than his run-in with Kuzan being too visible and not in keeping with his philosophy, the son is doing well. He gets along well with the instructors at the academy, so old Curry isn't worried about his son running afoul of his superiors in the future.
"Mitch, get me a copy of the Curry Leonardo file from this department," Sengoku said to the adjutant at the door as he hung up.
Of course, he couldn't just take his older brother's words and believe them. Although his older brother never bragged when talking to his superiors, he still couldn't take everything at his word. After all, in every father's heart, his son is the best. The older brother was cunning, believing that his son was a real pearl that should be introduced to Borsalino. But if Borsalino couldn't handle the upbringing, it would be bad if the black-haired one replaced the gray-haired one. Therefore, Sengoku decided to personally study the information about his older brother's son in order to calm down.
...
"General Instructor, here are the test results for this year's new intake of students," Aubrey walked into Zephyr's office, holding a report card with grades in her hands.
At the Naval Academy, the first and second years were on vacation. Zephyr was sitting at the table, writing something, without raising his head.
"How are they doing, especially Kuzan, Curry and Gion?" he asked, continuing to write.
Although as an instructor he had to treat everyone equally, among this year's newcomers, only Kuzan, little Curry, and Gion truly deserved his attention. If Kuzan inherited Garp's title as the Marine Hero, there would certainly be a place for Kuzan in the future Marine Admirals. Although his philosophy was a bit at odds with the Devil Fruit's abilities, it could not be denied that Logia was indeed very powerful. Among the first students he trained, Sakazuki and Borsalino had already surpassed many pirates in two years.
Little Curry was initially a concern, as he was the son of his older brother. But later, after seeing his talent in kendo, Zephyr began to pay more attention to him. Now that his abilities could rival Kuzan, this interest became almost equal. Little Curry's future also promised to be bright - he could become a rival for the Marine Admirals.
Zephyr thought about his older brother's character... It is not known whether he will be happy if his son becomes like the Admiral...
