Sh-sh-sh! - was heard all around.
All eyes turned to the sister of the "pig" in question. Although no one knew for sure whether they were real sisters, Gion had lived next to Vice Admiral Tsuru for many years.
"...No..." someone whispered.
I was also shocked to hear about my sister and her connection with Tsuru. I never thought that she had such a complicated relationship. Remembering how she used to fight alongside Vice Admiral Garp and Sengoku, I felt that something was wrong. I especially remember that in my sister's photo album, there were many photos of Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr, but very few... I began to doubt the validity of Aubrey's story, but wanting to preserve his sister's image in the eyes of others, Gion hesitated for a moment, as if remembering something, and then firmly shook his head.
- ...That can't be. Aren't there pictures of Garp, posters or something like that in the Crane's house? - Leonardo scratched his chin, as if he was possessed by some childish idea.
"My sister and Vice Admiral Garp are comrades. What's strange about her having their photos? Don't we have ours?" Gion lightly hit his head, trying to shield his sister.
- No! My dorm is full of posters of the queen of Amazon lily. Haven't you been to my place? Whoever doesn't like it won't have posters... - Leonardo shook his head decisively.
"How can you like the queen of that country?" Gion raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.
- This is nonsense! The most beautiful woman in the world, who doesn't love such a figure? Ask instructor Aubrey if he wants to go to Amazon lily? - Leonardo spoke confidently.
In his eyes, in this world, except for a very few ugly individuals, everyone else was the same. The only thing that could be distinguished was their figure. Never would he have thought that the queen of the subsidiary country was also considered the most beautiful in the world. In the original story, Boa Hancock was the first beauty in the world, but now, in this reality, she does not even have offspring. And yet, this queen of the subsidiary country is the first beauty.
In any case, if we leave aside the power, her fame is a fact. Her fans are numerous, be they marines or pirates. During the years he spent in the Marines, nine out of ten dreamed of being at her feet.
- Uh-huh...! - Leonardo received approval from those around him. Many of them had posters of the queen, but they did not display them as he did. They only secretly admired them in the silence of the night. Damned youth...
- Cough cough...! Okay, we'll talk about this later. It's lunch time now, and training hasn't ended yet. - Seeing that Gion was about to explode, Aubrey quickly changed the subject. In order to maintain the image of a strict instructor, he categorically refused to discuss the queen's posters.
As an outside observer, seeing Gion's reaction, I noticed that this girl seemed to have the same feelings for Curry as Tsuru had for Garp. But for now, Curry, like Garp, is incapable of romantic scenes.
"You... Hm! Is that cool?" Gion wanted to say something, but, she was interrupted by Aubrey again. She stamped his foot in anger and turned away.
"Who can play ping-pong, who can play basketball..." Leonardo spread his hands.
- One day I will become better than her!
- Let's talk about it that day...
- Hey...! - Hearing their squabble, Kuzan sighed. He wanted to say that this queen was no match for his former lover.
But he had no evidence...
...
Sensation! Admiral Sengoku is in love with the sword of love and has been single for decades for the sake of Vice Admiral Crane!
Sensation! King is dreaming, the goddess is heartless, and Vice Admiral Tsuru belongs to Vice Admiral Garp, who has been alone for decades!
- Did you hear, did you hear? Admiral Sengoku loves Vice-Admiral Tsuru and for her sake he is still not married...
- What?! That's why Garp's son is already an adult, and Sengoku is still alone. I thought Sengoku loved Garp...
– ...
- Did you hear that? Admiral Sengoku loves Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Tsuru has always loved Garp, but Garp is incapable of romantic scenes, so Tsuru and Sengoku never got together!
- Seriously? Who told you? Is it true?
- Young man, you don't know this. This story spread through the Fleet Headquarters more than ten years ago, but... then they stopped talking about it. Why did it come up again...
No matter what world we live in, serious international news doesn't bother anyone. But when some petty gossip appears, especially if it concerns famous people, everything immediately turns upside down. And if the heroes of this gossip are three legends of the Navy - the Naval Hero, the Naval Admiral and the Chief of Staff of the Navy...
The next day, almost the entire Navy discussed the complicated love story of these three legends. The reactions were varied: some were surprised, some were shocked, and some remained calm.
The young people were curious and surprised, but the old men, who had spent decades at the Marine Headquarters, were indifferent to all of this. After all, it had all happened more than ten years ago.
- Phew... It's a good thing Sengoku and Garp aren't at headquarters, otherwise they would have fought again... What's wrong, Aubrey? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you sweating so much?
At the Naval Academy, Zephyr breathed a sigh of relief as he remembered this old story.
He knew very well how many times Sengoku and Garp had fought over this love affair. Fortunately, Garp had thick skin and good health. If it had been anyone else, Sengoku would have simply crushed him… And now, both of them were legends of the Marines. If they were to fight over love again, it would make everyone laugh…
Zephyr sighed and looked worriedly at his assistant, who was standing in front of him, clearly nervous and sweating. This guy had been working with him for over ten years. If it weren't for the unfortunate incident with the Celestial Dragons, he would have been a vice admiral by now.
- No... nothing. It's just that yesterday... I was thinking about some study materials and I didn't sleep well.
Despite Aubrey's attempts to calm down, his voice still trembled.
