One Piece: Ultimate Villain

"Achoo!"

At this moment, while Marsh was carrying the injured Navy ensign and speeding away using Geppo, he couldn't help but sneeze.

Finally, after running for a full twenty minutes, and with his stamina nearly exhausted, the giant gorilla let out an angry roar and gave up the chase.

[Successfully rescued Navy Ensign, earned 100 good deed points]

So this is considered a good deed?

"Hey, could you put me down?"

The ensign, still slung over Marsh's shoulder, was severely wounded. After being carried and raced for so long, he was barely breathing.

"Sorry."

Marsh quickly set him down on the ground.

"Hah, thanks a lot, kid. If not for your help, our team would have probably been wiped out."

The ensign sighed in relief, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes as he thought of the men who had died to cover his retreat.

"It was nothing. But I don't know how you... a Navy officer, got into such trouble with that beast." Marsh politely nodded.

"Well..." Upon hearing that, the ensign hesitated slightly, glancing at the box still tightly held in his arms.

"Got it, got it! It's a military secret!" Marsh quickly waved his hand, signaling that he had no intention of prying for information.

"By the way, my friend, was that Geppo one of the Rokushiki?" The ensign suddenly changed the topic.

"Uh... yes," Marsh hesitated for a moment but nodded in agreement.

"Where did you learn it?" The ensign narrowed his eyes.

The Rokushiki, while widely known within the Navy, were not something ordinary civilians could easily learn.

Moreover, the Geppo technique used by this man was even better than some officers at the rank of Rear Admiral!

"Uh... to be honest," Marsh quickly thought, then casually explained, "My father was once a Navy officer, but he died during a pirate suppression mission. He taught me the Geppo before he passed."

"I see, you're the son of a martyr!" Upon hearing this, the ensign's pupils widened. He attempted to sit up, but his injuries were too severe, and after a few failed attempts, he lay back down.

"Please, don't move around too much sir! You're badly injured!" Marsh quickly said when he saw the ensign struggle.

"Since I'm the son of a Navy martyr, don't call me 'sir'! Just call me Kiri!" The ensign patted Marsh's shoulder.

"Alright, Kiri. My name is Marsh." Marsh smiled and nodded.

"Hahahaha, Marsh, there's nothing to hide from you. We came to this island because our commander got information about a valuable treasure here. We didn't expect the treasure to be real, but there was also a vicious beast guarding it. We fought for the treasure, but all my men, except me, sacrificed themselves," Kiri said with a hint of regret.

"By the way, Kiri, who is your commander?" Marsh asked, intrigued.

"My commander is Lieutenant Commander Momousagi, Gion!" When Kiri mentioned Gion's name, he couldn't help but show a look of admiration.

Gion was not only incredibly strong, but she became a Lieutenant Commander at just over twenty years old. She was hailed as the woman with the greatest potential to become an admiral in the Navy, and her beauty was unmatched. She was the dream girl of all the sailors on the ship!

Marsh froze at the mention of her name. What a coincidence!

"Once my injuries heal, let's go see Lieutenant Commander Momousagi together! I'll recommend you to the Navy! With your background and abilities, your future will surely surpass mine!" Kiri excitedly patted his chest, then immediately coughed in pain.

Marsh quickly patted his back, waiting for him to recover, before saying, "Then I'll be counting on you, Kiri."

At that moment, the system's voice once again echoed in Marsh's mind.
