One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 115: What’s Called a Trend

Days turned into weeks, and the buzz from the news stories just kept getting louder. Everyone at the Marine bases was talking about the Mohican Squad from G-1 Branch.

The name "Black Hair" was on everyone's lips again.

Meanwhile, back at G-1 Branch...

All the Marines were watching Black Hair and his crew, wondering what crazy thing he'd do next. But then, Black Hair suddenly went quiet.

Not only that, but Black Hair was actually leading his guys in training, right on schedule. He was working just as hard as them, maybe even harder.

Black Hair seemed like a new man, all serious and steady. Even his wild bunch of followers were pushed to their limits by his training, but they were so obedient, they didn't dare to cause trouble.

If anyone messed up, Black Hair would come down on them with a whip, showing no mercy. He was so strict that he scared the living daylights out of the other Marines!

Aside from their still-outrageous hairstyles, everything else about them was top-notch.

This sudden change surprised everyone, not just the Marines, but the officers too.

Was this for real?

Out on the training field, the Mohican Squad was marching forward with heavy weights strapped to their backs.

"Move it, you slackers!"

"This isn't the East Blue! The enemies here are way tougher than you can imagine. If you want to survive in this sea, you'd better train like your lives depend on it!"

"I know you guys want to cause trouble, but you can only do that if you've got the strength to back it up. Once you leave this base, no one's going to coddle you!"

Roya, his Bloodstained Whip in hand, walked alongside the training formation. Anyone who slacked off got a lash from the whip, drawing blood with every strike.

Even Barto was screaming from the pain.

He had achieved his goal. Now, the officers at the base knew he wasn't someone to mess with, and Vice Admiral Momonga had given him real power, especially control of the 11th Division.

There was no need to keep causing trouble.

When he first arrived, Vice Admiral Momonga might have looked out for him because of Teacher Zephyr's reputation, but if he didn't know what was good for him and pushed his luck, he'd pay the price.

In the days that followed, Roya threw himself into training his squad, ignoring the outside world. Then, a piece of news exploded within G-1 Branch.

"Vice Admiral Momonga is creating the 11th Division?"

"And it's a Pirate Extermination Squad!"

"The Commander is Black Hair!"

The news spread through G-1 Branch like wildfire.

Only then did the officers realize why Black Hair had been acting so well-behaved. He'd secretly grabbed all the best opportunities for himself.

Envy, pure envy!

Usually, the commander of a real division would be at least a Rear Admiral. A Commodore could only command a squad of a hundred men.

But Black Hair, just a Colonel, was going to lead an entire division. How could they not be jealous? Many Commodores and Rear Admirals had been waiting for this chance.

"That damn Black Hair!"

The officers were not happy, but thinking about the consequences of angering Black Hair, they had to think twice. That guy bit like a rabid dog.

Even Rear Admiral Yuchimura had suffered a big loss and been sentenced to three days of confinement!

Besides, the members of the 11th Division were mostly the wild guys Black Hair had brought with him. Whether he could control them was another story.

It'll all fall apart soon enough.

Privately, the officers were full of resentment, but on the surface, no one wanted to provoke Black Hair, and no one challenged him for the leadership of the 11th Division.

At the same time, the talk about the Mohican Squad was subtly changing without anyone realizing it.

"The Mohicans are pretty cool!"

The Marines trained together every day. At first, they thought Barto and the others were funny, but after a while, they got used to it and started thinking they were kind of cool.

They couldn't quite put their finger on why they looked cool, but when a group of Mohicans trained while sweating like crazy, their wild spirit seemed to mix perfectly with their wild hairstyles.

Like a pack of untamed wolves!

Their presence was far ahead of others!

"Maybe I should get a Mohican too?"

Many Marines were seriously thinking about getting one themselves, and eventually, some Marines actually did it.

"I feel unstoppable now!"

"Me too. I feel like I'm letting this cool Mohican down if I'm not arrogant enough!"

"Yeah, we need to look even more fierce!"

"I'm going to get a Mohican and try it out!"

Before they knew it, the number of Marines with Mohican hairstyles gradually increased, from a few here and there to hundreds and thousands.

One person is unique, ten people are following.

More than a hundred people? That's a fashion trend!

At that moment, Vice Admiral Momonga was at Headquarters, reporting to Marshal Sengoku about his mistakes regarding the newspaper incident.

"Marshal Sengoku, this was my fault. When I get back, I'll order Colonel Roya to fix the situation!"

"Mm."

Sengoku nodded slightly.

It was just a matter of style and not a huge deal, but it had definitely hurt the image of the Marines.

Something had to be done!

"Momonga, this has caused a lot of buzz. Many news reporters are waiting outside, wanting to visit G-1 Branch for interviews."

"Take the reporters back with you for a tour."

"Remember, you have to make it clear that this was just an isolated incident. The Marine's image of justice must not be tarnished, not even a little!"

The media controlled public opinion!

And public opinion was a weapon!

Even the World Government and the Marines struggled to control the news and both loved and hated the media.

Especially the World Economic Journal, which had the most influence. They were the ones who stirred up this whole thing. That bird who loved to get involved wasn't so obedient.

"Understood!"

Momonga nodded seriously.

"Marshal Sengoku, I'd also like your opinion on G-1 Branch creating the 11th Division."

"You're the boss of G-1 Base. You can decide things like that yourself."

Sengoku wasn't interested in this matter.

The G-Series bases had a lot of freedom. As long as they did their jobs, a few small changes weren't a problem.

"Go then!"

"Yes!"

Vice Admiral Momonga left the office.

In the waiting room, the reporters had been waiting for a long time. Even Morgans was there. When Vice Admiral Momonga appeared, the reporters immediately swarmed him.

"Vice Admiral Momonga, is this Mohican thing a publicity stunt for the Marine G-1 Branch?"

"Did the Marines shave their heads into Mohawks because of your influence?"

"Vice Admiral Momonga..."

The reporters surrounded Momonga, firing questions at him, shoving microphones in his face.

Don't get angry, you can't get angry!

Momonga's forehead was covered in veins, but he forced a smile and said, "This Mohican thing was purely an accident. The Marines in the photos are all new recruits who just joined the Marines and haven't had time to fix their hair."

He gave a simple explanation.

"Please follow me to G-1 Branch. I hope you'll report truthfully that G-1 Branch is a just and serious Marine base!"

Two hours later, the warship arrived at G-1 Base!

The adjutant, Harry, sporting a Mohican hairstyle, greeted them with his head held high and full of presence: "Vice Admiral Momonga, welcome back!"

"Harry???"

Momonga's face twitched as he looked at his adjutant's Mohican. Stay calm; it's just got to be an accident.

"Please, follow me!"

Momonga led the group of reporters to the training field with the most Marines. When he saw the Marines on the training field, he was stunned.

Mohicans, Mohicans, and more cool Mohicans...

What on earth happened at the base while I was gone? Did that brat Roya stir something up again?

"Click, click, click!"

The reporters were thrilled!

This was definitely big news!
