One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger.

After that conversation, Shanks and the others indeed became much more diligent.

They didn't need his supervision every day and would complete their assigned tasks, with Bear even exceeding expectations.

"Colonel, you've finally arrived!"

Burning Mountain's eyes welled up with tears as he saw Jin An walk into the office.

He had been living a life worse than death these past few days, either working overtime or on his way to work, starting early and finishing late, with dark circles under his eyes.

"Oh, it's Burning Mountain. Are you settling in well here? Kizaru should be showing you around and familiarizing you with the affairs here."

Jin An felt a little uneasy seeing the dark circles under Burning Mountain's eyes.

But soon, his conscience was devoured by dogs.

"Colonel, these are the documents that have accumulated over the past few days that require your signature. Please review them." As he spoke, Burning Mountain stepped aside, revealing the scene behind him.

Inside the office, the documents were piled up like a mountain, making anyone standing in front of them feel insignificant.

"These... are all of them?" Jin An's voice trembled as he rubbed his eyes, afraid he was hallucinating.

Immediately, Burning Mountain's words pulled him back to reality and threw him into hell.

"Reporting, Colonel, this is only a portion of them." Burning Mountain secretly rejoiced, "There are many more in my office and Mr. Kizaru's office."

Jin An's vision went black, and he fainted.

Burning Mountain seemed to have anticipated Jin An's actions, instantly pulling out a chair from behind him.

Jin An landed steadily on the chair without a single deviation.

Then, Burning Mountain pushed the chair, bringing Jin An to the desk.

"Are you devils?" Jin An extended a trembling finger and stopped in front of the documents, "When will I ever finish processing so many documents?"

Burning Mountain remained unmoved: "The documents in this room all need to be approved within the next two days. Please hurry, Colonel."

"After you finish, we still need to dispatch people to send these documents to various parts of the South Sea, so please complete them as soon as possible."

After speaking, Burning Mountain hurriedly left the place, even thoughtfully closing the office door for Jin An.

"This is a sin!"

Through the door, Kizaru still heard Jin An's heart-wrenching roar.

"Senior Kizaru..." Burning Mountain gave a military salute, "The mission is complete."

"Just laugh if you want..."

Kizaru looked at the obvious smile that Burning Mountain was trying to suppress on his face and shook his head with a laugh.

"Reporting! I have received strict training, and no matter what happens, I will not laugh!"

Burning Mountain tried hard to control the muscles on his face, but not only did it not work, but it also made the muscles twitch uncontrollably.

"Really, let's see if he dares to continue slacking off." Kizaru, the tragic working man, finally returned all the resentment he had accumulated before, with interest.

Those documents were all he sent to various islands in the South Sea, conveying a message: the new Governor of the South Sea has taken office, and the most serious matters in various places should be reported for the Governor to handle personally.

As soon as this news was sent out, the navies on the islands with difficulties were overjoyed, wishing they could report all the big and small things there.

"Are we doing this a little too much..."

Burning Mountain was still a little uneasy. When the Colonel reacted, wouldn't he give him trouble?

Kizaru comforted: "Don't worry, our Colonel isn't a petty person and won't take it to heart."

As for whether it would be recorded in a little notebook, he couldn't guarantee it.

"Let's go, we still have a lot of things waiting to be done there." In order to realize the justice in his heart, Kizaru didn't care how much he suffered.

......

The South Sea was as calm as ever, with no major events occurring.

The warm sunlight shone through the leaves onto the desk. Jin An bit his pen, frowning. He looked at the documents in his hand and on the desk, as if he saw three words—easy mark.

Jin An took the pen out of his mouth: "Why are these people all asking me for money? Am I a bank? Where am I going to get so much money?"

"Isn't the matter of issuing money under the jurisdiction of the headquarters? What went wrong?"

Unable to figure it out, Jin An could only make a note on the money request documents, 'No money, but you can have my life.' If you have the ability, come to Sorbet Kingdom and discuss it in person.

Then he directly denied all such documents.

"All you do is find trouble for me... Trouble Island actually has pirates causing trouble again! Didn't we just sweep it a while ago?" Jin An's head exploded.

Trouble Island has a certain reputation in the South Sea. It is rich in cows, and Jin An made a special trip there to taste the world's delicacies.

He just felt that the pirates in this world were so much like leeks, they grow back immediately after being cut.

"It seems that we need to arrange for some naval forces with decent strength to guard that island."

Relying only on support, sooner or later the island will be devastated.

But overall, the South Sea has been relatively stable during this time, and the momentum of the pirates has been effectively curbed.

Now that the situation in the South Sea is so good, he can finally rest well, improve his strength, and wait for the moment to fight against the strong in this world.

Knock knock knock!

"Colonel Jin An!" A navy soldier pushed open the door, holding a stack of materials in his hand, and walked into the office somewhat urgently, "I have a strange thing to report to you."

Can't you give me a break? His rare good mood is about to be gone again...

Jin An said unhappily: "What is it? Tell me about it."

The navy soldier didn't notice the superior's tone and directly said: "I am a member of the newly formed scientific expedition team, and I recently discovered a strange thing in the central region of the South Sea."

"A small island has mysteriously disappeared within the area we have been observing."

"That island has huge crystal deposits, and there were many pirates entrenched on it before."

Hearing that there were only pirates on the island, Jin An obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "Before the island disappeared, did you find anything unusual?"

The navy soldier thought carefully for a while, but had no clue: "I'm very sorry, Colonel, we didn't notice anything wrong."

"That island disappeared as if out of thin air. We clearly saw it on the afternoon of the day before it disappeared. After one night, it disappeared when we passed by there again."

"Okay, I will go to the scene to check this matter later. You can go back first." Jin An received this kind of report for the first time and was slightly concerned.

The disappearance of islands has happened many times in naval records.

There are islands that sink due to battles between strong people, islands that are caused by natural disasters, and islands that are destroyed by giant sea kings.

"I wonder what caused this one?" Jin An supported his chin with his hand, looking forward to the next investigation.
