From Pirates to the Simulation of All Worlds Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: The Boy Favored by the Navy Admiral (2024)

When Wood opened his eyes, he saw the familiar ceiling above him. He tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, a sharp pain shot through the left side of his body.

The room was still his own, and the bed was the one he had always slept in, but now, Wood's left arm and left leg were wrapped in bandages, making them look like giant carrots.

As if sensing the noise from the bed, Ain, who had been sleeping beside him, opened her eyes. When she saw Wood awake, her face lit up with surprise, and she screamed in joy.

"Brother Wood, you're finally awake! You've been sleeping for a whole day and night.

Don't try to get up just yet. I'll go tell Mom and the others and bring some food over."

Wood wanted to ask the little girl what had happened after he fainted, but before he could speak, Ain had already run out of the room with a happy expression.

"Forget it. Judging by Ain's expression, nothing serious must have happened. I'm probably just hungry after lying down all day. I'll ask about the details after I've had something to eat."

Not long after Ain ran out, her mother, Stia, walked into Wood's room carrying a tray of steaming food, also looking happy.

This time, in addition to Ain and Stia, there was a tall, purple-haired man with a resolute expression standing behind them.

The man wore a purple suit and a white cloak with the word "Justice" emblazoned on the back, signaling that he was an officer of the Navy.

Judging by his attire alone, it was clear that the man was a high-ranking naval officer. The Navy's Cloak of Justice is reserved for those of a certain rank; ordinary soldiers, sergeants, and even lieutenants don't wear it.

There were too many characters in the Navy, and the current timeline was more than ten years ahead of what Wood knew, so as he looked at the purple-haired man, Wood couldn't place him.

However, it was pretty clear that this man wasn't one of those strange, colorful animals.

"Brother Wood, do you know that after you defeated that big guy, the Navy arrived?

This Navy uncle faced those bad guys and beat them all with just one punch.

Moreover, this Navy uncle said that the Navy will set up a branch on our Red Leaf Island in the future. With the Navy's protection, those bad guys will never dare to come here again."

Having a powerful brother like Wood, Ain was naturally very proud. However, after seeing Wood seriously injured, Ain had also been very scared.

She was afraid that, like her father, her brother who doted on and protected her would also die.

But when she learned from the Navy officer that a branch would be established here, Ain was happy again.

Because with the Navy's protection, her brother Wood wouldn't have to get hurt protecting everyone on the island.

After patting Ain's head, Wood turned to the purple-haired man in front of him and recalled the results of his previous life simulation.

During the life simulation, the system had mentioned that if Wood left Red Leaf Island, the Navy would immediately dispatch warships to the island due to the importance of its resources.

However, this time, Wood hadn't passed by the Navy warship as in the first simulation but had met them here.

"Little guy, I heard from the people on the island that before the Navy arrived, you were the one who protected everyone?

With your ability to kill a pirate with a bounty of 20 million Beli, you're clearly capable of leaving this troubled place. So why didn't you choose to do so?"

Zefa looked at the boy in front of him and asked the question that had been on his mind. Although Wood's actions had earned his respect, he still wanted to hear the answer directly from the boy.

Looking into the sincere and serious eyes of the Navy man, Wood wanted to boast that he had dreamed of becoming a defender of justice since childhood.

But when the words reached his lips, he couldn't say them. Not to mention, Zefa didn't seem simple at all, and any clumsy lie would likely be exposed.

Moreover, remembering the islanders who had risked their lives to help in those final moments, Wood couldn't bring himself to tell such a lie.

"Mr. Zephyr, although you're a high-ranking admiral of the Navy, the question you just asked is really rude.

Wood is still a child, and he stayed on the island to protect his hometown and its people. If you think Wood had ulterior motives, please don't blame us for not welcoming you to Red Leaf Island."

Wood was just about to answer Zefa's question, but Stia, usually gentle by nature, became unusually angry after hearing Zefa's words.

Even little Ain, who didn't fully understand what Zefa had said, puffed up her cheeks when she saw her mother's expression. She stood in front of Wood and shouted at Zefa, "Hmph! If you bully Brother Wood, Ain and the people on the island won't welcome you."

"Sorry, sorry. I was indeed rude. This child is so exceptional that I overlooked the fact that he's still just a teenager."

Facing the hostile stares from Stia and Ain, Zefa quickly raised his hands in surrender.

What he didn't know was that when Wood heard Stia address Zefa, he was also stunned.

The Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Zephyr...the Black-Arm Zephyr?

"Let me change the subject then. Son, are you willing to join us and become a Navy officer?

I see great potential in you. In terms of ability and character, you're one of the best young people I've met in years.

What's even rarer is that, in addition to strength and character, you have a strong sense of justice!

If you accept my training, with your talent and potential, you'll definitely become one of the Navy's pillars in a few years."

Looking at the seriously injured boy in the bed, Zefa gave him a very high evaluation.

Strength and talent are important, but Zefa had been teaching for years and had seen many outstanding naval talents. What he valued more was that he believed Wood had a heart of absolute justice!

Words can deceive, but eyes and actions cannot. Even on the brink of death, Wood hadn't forgotten to protect the other residents of Red Leaf Island.

Based on that alone, Zefa believed that Wood's sense of justice was stronger than that of most current naval generals!

At the same time, Wood reminded Zefa of himself when he was young!
