One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 184: I’m Drought Jack, After All!

As the meeting was ending, Maynard stood up, looking relieved. "Marshal Sengoku, I want to step down as the leader of the G-5 Branch Base. I suggest Vice Admiral Roya take over."

"..."

Sengoku frowned, his brow furrowed.

The other officers turned to look at Roya, their eyes full of meaning.

Everyone knew about the situation at the G-5 Branch. It was hard not to, since the G-5 Branch had been causing so much trouble.

Vice Admiral Maynard had been through a lot!

Roya stood up calmly and offered himself. "Marshal Sengoku, I believe I have what it takes to lead the G-5 Branch. But if any other Vice Admirals want the job, I'm happy to compete with them fairly."

Yeah, right, the Vice Admirals thought.

Normally, if the Branch Base Chief position was open and there was a Vice Admiral-level Marine in the Branch, that person would get the job first.

Before, after Vergo was defeated, the G-5 Branch didn't have a Vice Admiral in charge, so Vice Admiral Maynard was sent there.

It made sense that the Base Chief position was Roya's, and no one wanted to fight him for it.

Sengoku sighed. The situation at the G-5 Branch was a real headache. If Roya becomes the Base Chief, who knows what will happen? he wondered.

It's already at its worst. It can't get any worse, right? That was the old G-5 Branch.

Please, just be peaceful! That was the current G-5 Branch.

Ever since Roya went to the G-5 Branch, the number of problems had grown quickly. He even dared to provoke a Pirate Emperor, showing how good he was at causing trouble.

Sengoku looked around the room and said in a deep voice, "If no one objects, then Vice Admiral Roya will be the G-5 Branch Base Chief!"

No one spoke.

The Vice Admirals all backed down.

Maynard was a warning. No one wanted to get mixed up in that mess. And even if they tried, they might not be able to beat Roya.

Sengoku looked very unhappy.

"Then it's settled!"

The meeting ended quickly.

Sengoku called Roya into his office.

"Roya, about your Vice Admiral title, do you have any special requests? If not, we'll just keep calling you 'Black Hair'."

"A title, huh? Let me think."

Roya stroked his chin, pondering the options.

The highest-level Marine Generals' titles are based on colors and zodiac animals. Only the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Dragon, Snake, and Sheep hadn't been used yet.

Vice Admiral Momonga's title was an animal code name, so it didn't count.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

It doesn't seem like I have any animal that fits me , he thought.

He had been learning within the Marine System. He had just stepped out of that circle and hadn't created his own unique fighting style yet.

It would be hard to choose a title now that would still fit him in the future.

Roya wasn't in a rush. Getting stronger was the key to survival. Just like ordinary people feel better when they have money , he thought.

"Marshal Sengoku, let's just stick with 'Black Hair' for now."

"Alright."

Sengoku nodded slightly.

If Roya wanted a zodiac title, I would have agreed. The kid's abilities are worth a zodiac title , he thought.

But since Roya hadn't thought about it, there was no need to hurry. The kid is still young. It's not too late to decide when he's promoted to Admiral in ten years or so.

"If there's nothing else, you may go."

"Yes, sir!"

----

New World, on a deserted island.

Jack, his whole body covered in bandages, suddenly woke up.

"Am I dead?"

"How could you be, Lord Jack? You're not that easy to kill!"

His underlings quickly gathered around him, talking about what had happened.

"The Flying Six pulled you out of the water."

"What?"

Jack's eyes were bloodshot.

The Flying Six? he thought.

Those guys would be happy if I died. Why would they save me?

Soon, Who's-Who, Sasaki, Ulti, and Page One showed up.

"Yo, you're awake, Jack."

"Who's-Who, Sasaki, Ulti, Page One!"

Jack glared at the four of them, his eyes full of anger. He didn't believe they were kind enough to save him.

Who's-Who grinned.

The four of them had argued about whether to save Jack.

But since the other underlings would have saved him anyway, they decided to do it as a favor.

Plus, they needed Jack to lead the next mission.

But they still wanted to tease him a little.

"I heard you were beaten by the Marines who were guarding Doflamingo?"

"That's none of your business!"

Jack snorted, his temper rising.

"Hahaha, don't get so angry."

The four of them were secretly happy. It was rare to see an All-Star being humiliated, especially Jack, who they wanted to replace.

"Actually, we've had some trouble too."

Who's-Who explained with a sly smile, "But we're a little better than you. We found Young Master Yamato. How about we work together?"

"Young Master Yamato."

Jack's eyes darkened.

Besides getting Doflamingo back, they had to bring back Young Master Yamato too!

"Where is Young Master Yamato?"

"The Marine G-5 Branch!"

Who's-Who's mouth stretched into a wide grin. "Think you can handle it?"

"Who do you think I am!"

Jack stood up, looking fierce. He would bring Yamato back, even if it meant attacking a whole country.

"Minions, get the warship ready now!"

"Yes, Lord Jack!"

The warship was already prepared.

Watching Jack leave in a hurry, the four of the Flying Six smiled. Jack's reaction was exactly what they had expected.

"He's still the same as always, a simple idiot!"

"When Jack makes a scene at the G-5 Branch and fights with that Black Hair, we'll take the chance to grab Young Master Yamato."

"Let's make it clear now. Whoever brings Young Master Yamato back gets all the credit!"

"I won't let you beat me to it!"

On Jack's warship.

Gunner Sheepshead, remembering the Flying Six's plan, warned Jack, "Lord Jack, the Flying Six are trying to use us."

"I know."

Jack held the newspaper, staring at the article about the Dressrosa incident, his eyes fixed on Roya's photo.

As for his subordinate's warning...

Of course, I know what the Flying Six are up to! he thought.

"Eh?"

The Gunners were confused. If he knows they're using him, why is he going to the G-5 Branch? Isn't that asking for trouble?

"Lord Jack, why?"

"Idiots!"

Jack threw the newspaper on the ground, his eyes full of bloodshot veins.

"Who do you think I am!"

Even if they're using me, so what? he thought.

Knowing where Young Master Yamato was, bringing Young Master Yamato back to Onigashima was his mission. As for the Flying Six?

They're all trash!

Do they really think I would work with those losers?

What a joke!

I'm Drought Jack, after all!
