In the living room.
Roja was sitting on the sand, leaning on the soft sand cushion.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening came from behind. Roja turned his head slightly and greeted casually: "You're back?"
"Um."
Garp responded with a rough tone, his mood seemed a little low, and he walked in.
Looking at Garp's appearance, Roja couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong with you? You look like you're shocked. This doesn't look like the usually energetic Uncle Garp."
The person involved didn't pay much attention to the difference between a lieutenant general and a major general. Garp looked like he was severely hit. This really didn't fit the image.
Roja's half-joking tone made Garp regain his mood a little, and he smiled and cursed at Roja: "You bastard..."
After shaking his head helplessly, Garp spoke to Roja with a rough and low tone, "The dragon thing... I seem to have mentioned it to you, right?"
"Since you have forgotten it yourself, why are you asking me?"
Roja rolled his eyes. He didn't know whether Garp had amnesia or just forgot about it when he turned around. Not only did Garp take the initiative to tell him about the dragon once, but he also asked Garp about it out of curiosity.
Garp scratched his head and said with a slight embarrassment: "I originally wanted to teach that boy to become an excellent navy, but who knows... Now it seems that the impact is quite big."
Roja only felt a black line. Garp's nerves really made Roja unable to complain. Only now did Garp feel the great impact? !
No.
To be precise, Garp doesn't care about the impact of dragons on others and the world at all. Those Garp don't care at all.
It's because the existence of the dragon has affected Roja's affairs, which in Garp's opinion is a big influence.
"It's okay, everyone has their own ideas, and I am the same. There is no need to deliberately restrict it. But that guy Akainu... I feel very unhappy about him now." Roja casually spread his hands.
"ah?!"
Garp scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "Sakaski? When you are stronger than him in the future, just give him a good beating."
"It makes sense."
Roja nodded in agreement.
Although his current strength is still far away from Akainu, when he strengthens the soul of the sword to the fourth or even fifth stage, and unlocks the ability to flow like fire...
Which is stronger, magma or the flames on the surface of the sun? !
This question is very interesting, and Roja himself wants to know the answer.
If someone was secretly eavesdropping at this time and heard the conversation between Garp and Roya, the uncle and nephew, they would definitely spit out a mouthful of blood three meters away. What are these topics
"correct."
Seeing Roja preparing to go back to the room, Garp suddenly thought of something and looked at Roja with deep eyes.
"Um?"
It was very rare for Garp to show such a look, so Roja paused and blinked.
"Forget it, it's nothing..."
Garp stared at Roja with deep eyes, then suddenly shook his head and said: "It seems that you, a brat, have a lot of secrets to hide from me, but since you don't want to tell them, you must have your reasons. I won’t ask any more questions.”
Although Garp appears to be careless and has a super thick nerve, this does not mean that Garp is a fool. On the contrary, Garp, who can chase Roger the Pirate King all over the world, is actually very smart.
It's just that this intelligence is hidden under that rough appearance.
“…”
Luo Ya was silent for a moment, and finally just said, I'm going back to the room, and left the living room.
Regarding Garp, Roya rarely concealed anything, and he rarely concealed some of his inner thoughts. For example, when he saw Akainu being unhappy, he said it directly.
As for other things.
Garp will not harm him, and he will not harm Garp. Garp recognizes him as a relative, and he also recognizes Garp as a relative. This is enough, and nothing else matters.
…
Navy Headquarters Harbor.
A medium-sized warship is on display here, and supplies and other things have been transported. A naval lieutenant colonel, several majors, and some lieutenants are waiting on the deck.
Their mission was to deliver a batch of supplies and the newly appointed major general base commander of the First Xihai Branch to the Xihai First Branch base.
"Tell me, who is the newly appointed major general base commander of Xihai First Branch?"
"How do I know? There are so many generals in this department, and anyone can do it."
Several majors were discussing casually there. This kind of transportation mission generally does not have any danger, and the probability of danger is very low, so they are all relaxed.
Just at this time.
A figure appeared in the distance and walked towards the warship. As the figure got closer and closer, the rear admiral's righteous coat of arms was clearly visible.
"Looks like it's him."
These navy captains immediately stood in a solemn queue from their loose state to greet the approaching rear admiral.
only.
When the rear admiral boarded the warship, these lieutenant officers all showed a look of astonishment, because the man who came with the rank of rear admiral looked too young and seemed not to be young yet. At twenty, younger than them all!
This was the first time they had seen such a young rear admiral!
This rear admiral is naturally Roja.
Originally, Roya's military rank was Rear Admiral, and his main job was to stay at the Navy Headquarters and be on call at any time. However, he did not expect that an unexpected incident would occur in the past few days.
The major general base commander of the first branch of the West Sea was defeated by the pirate group head-on when he went out to arrest a pirate group!
This happened extremely unexpectedly.
The status of Major General Base Commander is equivalent to that of Major General of the headquarters, and in this sea, the Grand Route is where the strong roam. Although the West Sea is not the weakest in the East China Sea, even the strongest pirate in the West Sea is almost It is impossible to defeat the major general of our headquarters.
Because of this incident, the reward for the Gekko Pirates was directly raised from 15 million Baileys to 70 million Baileys, making it one of the pirate groups with the highest reward in the West Sea.
There is currently no specific information, nor is it known whether the Gecko Pirates have already embarked on the Grand Line or are still wandering in the waters of the Western Sea.
Since the Gecko Pirates can kill an officer of the major general level of the headquarters head-on, it is obvious that the general navy cannot deal with him, and at least officers of the lieutenant general level or above must be dispatched.
However, the scope of the West Sea is too large, and it is not sure whether the Gecko Pirates are still in the West Sea. It is impossible for officers of the lieutenant general level to wander around the West Sea all the time. The highest naval general in the West Sea is just the major general base commander of several major bases.
so.
Due to this incident, the Navy Headquarters temporarily changed Roja's appointment. Roja's military rank was still that of Major General of the headquarters, but he was transferred to Xihai as the Major General Base Commander of the First Branch of Xihai.
No matter in terms of strength or position, Luo Ya is undoubtedly the most suitable. In addition, Luo Ya is relatively young. Let Luo Ya serve as the base commander in Xihai. After he has the ability to manage a side, he can be promoted to Luo Ya. It makes sense for Ya to be a lieutenant general.
Roya did not refuse the appointment.
In some ways, he is similar to Garp's character. He doesn't like to be bound by any rigid rules. Compared to staying at the Navy headquarters and being on call at any time, Roya obviously prefers to be free outside.
