Pirates: Awakening of the Divine Religion, I just want to teach and preach Chapter 011

In the vast conference room of the General Staff Headquarters, the air was dead silent.

Only the screen, paused, flickered with a faint white light, illuminating the shocked faces of the high-ranking naval officers present, making them appear and disappear.

It was too perfect.

They couldn’t help but genuinely exclaim in their hearts.

From the chosen vantage point for the initial ambush;

The efficient long-range sniping that made the pirates hesitant;

To the sudden burst of Navy Six Styles’ Soru, launching a surprise attack and timely blocking the pirate captain’s strike.

And… the now-displayed, exhilarating and exquisite swordsmanship.

The abilities, skills, judgment, and decisiveness that this Navy Lieutenant Commander had shown so far…

They could only describe it with four words: “Impeccable.”

Even some of the arrogant generals present subconsciously tried to put themselves in Vein’s situation and state.

They were all surprised to find that, if they were in his shoes, they couldn’t have done any better than Vein.

“This Lieutenant Commander Vein is simply a tactical genius!”

“He truly lives up to being an instructor of the tactical analysis course at the military academy…”

“Too strong…”

“Simply unbelievable…”

The generals exclaimed with emotion:

“Such a talent, letting him stay at the military academy as a civilian instructor is a complete waste of his abilities.”

“Exactly, if we had such a talented person during missions, the combat capability of the troops would be greatly enhanced.”

“Wait, I’m still short of an adjutant!”

“Nonsense, I’m also short of an adjutant!”

They even started to bicker, their faces flushed.

Faced with such a high-caliber talent, almost every general had the idea of recruiting him.

Ignoring the clamor of these guys, Sengoku’s eyes lit up with a fervent glow as he looked at the Navy Lieutenant Commander on the screen.

He took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, “Stop arguing for now, let’s keep watching.”

When Admiral Sengoku spoke, everyone else quickly quieted down.

The scene on the screen continued to play.

Then came the brutal fight.

The Navy Lieutenant Commander quickly fell into a perilous situation under the pirates’ encirclement, appearing to be in great danger.

The generals couldn’t help but frown.

Facing the pirate captain who had already mastered Haki, Vein could only barely hold on with his exquisite swordsmanship and Rokushiki, and he quickly sustained injuries.

He was forced to retreat step by step.

Immediately after, they saw Zephyr’s wife, in order to protect her pirate, block one of the pirate captain’s claws.

As the house collapsed, raging flames immediately filled the screen of the surveillance Den Den Mushi.

Seeing this, everyone present’s faces had become extremely grim, their teeth clenched, and their fists tightened.

They wished they could directly rush into the screen and tear that damned pirate to shreds.

But it wasn’t long before astonishment replaced the anger in their eyes.

They clearly saw the Navy Lieutenant Commander on the screen first wrapping the infant in his cloak, then using the thick smoke from the explosion as cover to decisively retreat.

And during the retreat, he exploited the pirate captain’s brief loss of sight.

He flexibly adapted, hiding the infant in the fork of a tree.

“What a quick reaction!”

“He actually came up with such a method!”

“He’s gambling, gambling that the pirate hasn’t mastered Observation Haki, and he won the gamble!”

“No, there was no element of gambling… Did you see? He had been calmly observing the pirate’s movements during their previous exchange, analyzing that the latter hadn’t awakened Observation Haki.”

“As expected…”

The generals were now completely convinced and exclaimed in admiration.

Vein’s calmness and judgment exceeded all their expectations.

Suppressing their emotions, they continued to watch.

They saw Vein lure the pirate into the military academy’s grounds.

“Wait…”

“What is he doing?”

“Artillery fire?”

“That accuracy!”

On the screen, it was Vein operating the heavy cannons in the training ground, accurately hitting the target.

The madness and determination in his eyes were deeply moving.

“Not just shooting, swordsmanship, and Rokushiki… even his artillery skills are so impressive!”

“Who exactly is he…”

“Incredible…”

The naval generals present now looked stunned, their mouths agape.

Vein’s performance repeatedly shattered their worldview.

“So that’s it…”

Sengoku suddenly let out a long breath, his expression very complex.

He stared intently at the now-frozen screen, sighing:

“I finally understand. His final decision to use artillery wasn’t entirely to kill that pirate.”

“He knew that such artillery fire would never be enough to kill a pirate who had mastered Armament Haki.”

“He chose artillery more to attract the attention of the rescue forces and buy time to survive.”

“This was a huge gamble…”

At this point, a hearty smile couldn’t help but appear on Sengoku’s face.

“He won the gamble.”

As the “Strategist” of the Navy, Admiral Sengoku was not known for powerful Armament Haki like Zephyr, nor could his combat prowess compare to “Hero” Garp.

He was more adept at battlefield judgment, planning, and strategy… throughout his military career.

It was precisely this “wisdom” that allowed Sengoku to defeat countless powerful pirates.

And it was because of this that he saw the Navy Lieutenant Commander’s performance on the screen more thoroughly and clearly than anyone else.

He deeply understood how precious and rare the talent, skill, decisiveness, and wisdom displayed by this Navy Lieutenant Commander truly were.

“Send orders to the military hospital, they must do everything to save Lieutenant Commander Vein!”

Sengoku seemed to have made a decision, clenching his fist with a serious expression.

“Once Lieutenant Commander Vein awakens from his coma, notify me immediately!”

“Yes, Admiral Sengoku!” the adjutant said gravely.

Seeing this, the other generals couldn’t help but smile.

Admiral Sengoku had taken a liking to this talent…

“Re-report, Admiral Sengoku!”

At this moment, a frantic messenger rushed in, flustered, and said with a trembling voice:

“Admiral Zephyr, Admiral Zephyr’s flagship has arrived at the headquarters’ military port!”

As his words fell, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became extremely oppressive.

The generals’ expressions all changed, and their eyes grew dim.

Sengoku’s face shifted, and finally, he couldn’t help but sigh.

What was coming, would come…

However, he truly had no face to meet his comrade who had fought alongside him for many years.

He couldn’t even imagine what kind of sorrowful expression Zephyr would show upon hearing this news…
