Gion's brows furrowed slightly, and she turned to look at Ryuya.
"Admiral White Dove, what do you mean by that?"
Gion looked at Ryuya coldly, as if trying to see something in his eyes.
"Won't you invite me in for a sit?"
Ryuya smiled slightly at Gion.
At this moment, Gion had absolutely no idea what Ryuya was trying to do.
Without saying anything, Gion entered her room and said to Ryuya with her back turned, "Remember to close the door."
Entering Gion's room, Ryuya looked around.
He had to say, he didn't expect that Gion, who appeared to be a mature woman on the outside, had the heart of a little girl.
The room was filled with pink decorations, even the chairs were pink.
It looked very cute.
Gion also noticed Ryuya's gaze.
Gion exuded a cold aura, completely opposite to the room's decorations, giving a very different feeling.
"Tell me, what's going on?!"
"I want to invite you to join my forces."
"Your forces? Don't you know I'm a member of the Dove Faction?"
Gion had a very good relationship with Chief of Staff.
They even called each other sisters.
Although there was a significant age gap between these "sisters," it still showed their close relationship.
"Of course I know. It's precisely because I know that I feel even more sorry for you."
"Sorry for me? I don't need your pity!"
Gion stood up from her seat and went to the window.
Through the window, she looked at Marineford's training ground.
It was clear that Gion was very uneasy.
This was exactly what Ryuya had expected.
"Gion, you're a Vice Admiral candidate, but have you ever thought about why they don't promote you? Why are resources allocated to you only after careful screening?"
With every word Ryuya spoke, Gion's grip tightened.
This feeling was really unpleasant.
She had always been striving towards the goal of becoming an Admiral.
In terms of both physical and swordsmanship skills, she had reached a level unattainable by ordinary women.
Her swordsmanship had reached the peak of early Supreme-Grade Swordsman, and she could become a mid-level Supreme-Grade Swordsman at any time.
But even so, Gion was still just Gion.
A Vice Admiral candidate!
That's why she reacted so strongly when she heard Ryuya say "Vice Admiral candidate"!
It was absolutely impossible for Gion to harbor no resentment!
"What can you give me?!"
Gion turned around, looked at Ryuya, her imposing manner dissipating considerably.
She was no longer so cold and unapproachable.
Hearing Gion's words, Ryuya's lips curled up slightly.
"Whatever you want! I'll give it to you!"
When Ryuya said this, he was incredibly confident.
Because it stemmed from his overwhelming strength!
"Then, if I say I want the position of Admiral, how will you give it to me?!"
"Simple. I become Fleet Admiral, and you become an Admiral."
Ryuya said this very calmly.
Then, he brewed himself a pot of fragrant tea.
The fragrant steam rose from the teapot.
Gion stared blankly at the rising steam.
She clearly didn't expect Ryuya to answer like that.
Gion fell into deep thought. She needed to consider the pros and cons.
If she joined Ryuya's camp, she would be labeled a traitor by the Dove Faction.
Although Sengoku wouldn't say anything, the already scarce resources would become even scarcer.
This was something Gion couldn't accept.
But with Ryuya's current reputation, becoming Fleet Admiral wasn't impossible!
However, the only uncontrollable factor was Sengoku.
If Sengoku didn't make any mistakes, he might remain Fleet Admiral for a long time.
Or, Ryuya had other, unknown plans!
Just as Gion was about to carefully ask Ryuya, after recovering from her thoughts,
She found that the sun had already set outside the window.
Only a white piece of paper lay quietly on the table.
At this moment, Ryuya had returned to his residence.
He had Stella and Ain come to the training ground.
He was going to put the two girls through hellish training, raising their strength by at least three levels!
On the training ground, Ryuya used "Five-Turn Illusion"!
These five illusions each possessed a small portion of Ryuya's strength.
They were perfect for Stella and Ain's sparring practice!
However, facing these five illusions, Stella hesitated.
"Master, I've only done physical training, I've never done any combat training. I don't know how to fight at all!"
To this, Ryuya only had one sentence, "Stella, you just need to remember, after eating the Paramecia-type Supa Supa no Mi, Model: Full-Body Bladed Human, you only need to attack frantically! The best defense is a mad offense. Attack their weaknesses, force them to defend. Understand?!"
"Yes, Master!"
Ryuya's words were like a sacred decree to Stella.
Stella would never disobey anything Ryuya asked her to do.
But at this moment, Hina walked in from outside.
"Ryuya, I've purchased the herbs as you instructed. It cost a total of 90 million Bellies. This is the remaining 10 million Bellies."
"Hina, you've worked hard today. This 10 million Bellies is your errand fee."
"10 million Bellies?! That much?"
"Good, Hina is very happy."
Hina didn't expect Ryuya to be so generous.
Thinking of this, she wanted to join Ryuya's camp even more.
It was much better than the Dove Faction.
You see, the Dove Faction, although the largest faction in the Navy,
Had a large number of people, but the resources were limited.
Resource allocation was severely uneven, which was why Gion was dissatisfied.
The so-called resources weren't just Bellies.
They also included warships, officers, attendants, firearms, cannons, logistics, training...
Especially training.
Upon reaching the rank of Vice Admiral, you could get criminals from Impel Down for training, sparring, and execution.
Of course, except for the last level.
Otherwise, why would the Navy spend so much money raising pirates in Impel Down?
Ryuya moved the herbs to his room, then said to everyone,
"Regarding training, don't worry. No matter what kind of injury you suffer, I can cure it. I can ensure that you won't have any hidden injuries. All you need to do is fight with all your might!"
Finally, Ryuya said to Hina, "Hina, are you going to join in as well?"
