Ch 9 : Vice Admiral Tsuru

I am a rich second generation in One Piece Ch 9

After that short encounter which felt like forever, Tashigi eventually led Seth to the room where Vice Admiral Tsuru was waiting for him.

However, there was one anomaly here.

While walking together, Tashigi was holding Seth's hand tightly.

Just now, Seth asked Tashigi to hold his hand. His reason was none other than because the Marine base was way too large, and he was afraid to get lost.

Obviously, no one would buy this reason. But Tashigi, who had been charmed by Seth, had lost most of her reason, and could only meekly follow Seth's instruction.

The two walked together, catching the envy of the passerby, and soon arrived in front of Vice Admiral Tsuru.

"Taking the early advantage against your future employer, huh? I never thought you were this bold, Tashigi!"

Heading inside, the two were greeted by Vice Admiral Tsuru's voice. Tashigi was startled and immediately tried to release Seth's hand, but Seth had just held her tightly.

"Long time no see, Vice Admiral Tsuru. By the way, may I ask you not to tease my future Bodyguard? You see, she is a rather cute one here." Seth interrupted Vice Admiral Tsuru, but there was no trace of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Hahahaha, so you little brat had finally moved on from that little princess, huh? Good, I heard that your father was bragging a lot, saying his son had finally matured!"

Indeed, Vice Admiral Tsuru was actually a friend of Seth's family, or to be more specific, the connection that Seth's family had with the marine.

Just in the past few days, Seth was able to know that his family's connection was far stronger than he had thought previously. They could be said as one of the biggest merchants in the entire One Piece world, and the only thing they haven't done was expand to the new World.

The family also had a good relationship with both the marine and World governments as they gave a huge amount of donations every year. It was only a pity that Crocodile's identity was a little bit special. If not, Seth could use his family power to crush Crocodile.

Nonetheless, Seth was not the type who liked to be overreliant on his family power.

The two chatted about some daily topics for a while, but soon, Seth brought up the main issues.

"Vice Admiral Tsuru, has my request been approved?"

"*Sigh* You kid… you know just how much trouble you bring with these things? Sengoku even said that if you want to be a marine, he would easily grant you a lieutenant admiral level as long as you could provide those things… "

"But yes, your request has been approved. And if you could increase the amount of good you supplied to Marine, Sengoku said that he wouldn't mind fulfilling a few more of your request."

Vice Admiral Tsuru shook her head as she explained those things. Seth.. he just didn't know what impact he had brought to the marine.

The enhanced item's effect was indeed limited, but if the marine could equip all their lower officer with the enhanced armor, then it wouldn't be hard for Marine to deal with most of the pirated in the four seas.

Seth smiled when he heard Vice Admiral Tsuru's offer. This meant that his enhanced item has worth a lot more than he thought. However, he still politely reject the request. After all, he didn't want to be bounded by rules as a marine.

Vice Admiral Tsuru really regrets the fact that Seth would reject her offer. However, she had known that Seth would reject her from the start, so she wasn't that much surprised here.

They chatted a little bit more before then Vice Admiral Tsuru brought a few documents for Seth to sign.

"Here, sign here. After this, Tashigi and Isuka will be transferred as your bodyguard."

{ A.N.: Isuka is a character from One Piece Novel A}

Along with that, Seth signed the document and easily finished the transfer process of both Tashigi and Asuka. Then, Vice Admiral Tsuru brought Seth to meet Isuka.

Different from Tashigi, Isuka didn't go her way to meet Seth. She decided to rather stay in her own room. But that was not because she hated Seth, but rather…

"Isuka, Seth is her for you!" Vice admiral Tsuru shouted from outside only to be greeted by a scream from inside.

Then, the sound of hurried footsteps came over, and the door opened, revealing a beautiful woman with short vermilion hair, brown eyes, and a bandaid on her left cheek.

"N-Nice to meet you Mr. Seth! My name is Isu-"

Isuka bit her tongue, which made Seth laugh. Still, he quickly recovered as he took Isuka's hand and offered her a handshake.

"Nice to meet you too, Isuka. My name is Seth, and you could just call me Seth. I will be under your care from now on!"

Facing Seth's charming smile, Isuka kept her head down. It was evident that she was caught unprepared by Seth's smile, and her face was very red full of blush. In fact, Seth could see that Isuka kept stealing glances at him.

Seth could only smile as he saw this. Indeed, Isuka didn't go outside to meet Seth before was not because she hated Seth. But rather, she was too shy to meet Seth.

Seth knew that different from Tashigi, Isuka had something that tied her up to the marine, and that was Draw. Therefore, what Seth did was sever that tie.

A few years ago, Isuka began to admire Draw because he was the one that saved her when her village was under fire. But that was because she didn't know that Draw was the one that set the fire.

Seth then used some money, power, and knowledge from his previous life to make a piece of evidence about Draw's misdeed and sent it to the marine.

The result was evident, Draw was caught, and the truth was revealed to Isuka. At that time, Isuka felt very lost as she felt she had been deceived her whole life, but that's where Tsuru's role came to play. She came to Isuka, telling her about the glorified image of Seth and how Seth was the one that used his power and connection to reveal the truth behind that incident as he felt if this was to continue going on, the marine would slowly lose their justice.
