Following Dasqi's exclamation, the two people who were talking about crosstalk couldn't help but stop. Smoker turned back with curiosity on his face, and his surprised eyes made Dasqi blush, and he nodded and apologized.
"Yes... I'm sorry! I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, before anyone else could speak, Dasqi covered her face and trotted out.
In front of guests... so embarrassing!
Sorry Colonel Smoker!
Woohoo!
⊙⊙|||
Smoker: "..."
He can probably guess what Daschi is thinking, but this is just an act of evasion...
"This idiot!!"
But unlike Dasqi, other people's brain circuits are relatively normal. They stared at Ron blankly until there was a "bang" of the door closing, and then they took a breath.
Hiss...! !
"Hundred Beasts" Kaido! !
Ordinary pirates may not necessarily know who this name represents. At most, they only know from nursery rhymes that there is a "ghost-like" white beard in the world.
But as a navy, even if they are just a navy of the East China Sea branch, it is impossible for them to not know the reputation of the four emperors!
"So... what was said in the news earlier is true?"
Smoker secretly clenched his fists and his face darkened inexplicably.
He thought that he could be regarded as the number one genius in the navy. After all, he had once enjoyed special treatment from Sengoku and others. He had high hopes and was a super rookie in the navy who was trained as his successor and the overlord of the recruit camp!
Moreover, as a member of the Navy, he knew his own affairs well. He knew very well that the Navy Headquarters would sometimes deliberately distort the content of news reports in order to cover up the facts and create an image of the Navy as an invincible navy to reassure the public.
Therefore, Smoker always believed that even if Ron achieved incredible achievements, he would at most have an advantage in fruit attributes over himself. It was because he was difficult to deal with that the Navy Headquarters chose a new target. He was a fabricated person. Out comes the hero.
However, that sentence undoubtedly shows that Ron really did what was described in the news.
Played a huge role in the war with the Beast Pirates!
Those are the Yonko and the Beast Pirates! ! !
"Hmph! Now you know you are unwilling to give in?"
Smoker was brought out by the Flying Squirrel. As soon as he raised his butt, the Flying Squirrel knew what he was going to do. At this moment, there was a sneer on his face and his arms crossed his chest.
"You must have heard the news that Ron has become a candidate for general, right? I can responsibly tell you Smoker. In the previous candidate challenge, he defeated Lieutenant General Tea Dolphin and Lieutenant General Peach Rabbit with one against two. !”
"He is the future general of the navy!"
"Even this time when I came to the East China Sea, he was the leader and I was the deputy. Do you understand?"
Navy, general? ! !
Smoker's pupils were shaking, and he looked at Ron with a calm smile on his face in horror.
No one in the new generation of the navy understands the terrifying power behind the word "general" better than him, who is of the same natural type as the three generals. It is a power that he has been unable to achieve time and time again.
There was a time when Smoker was frustrated because the smoke fruit was not as lethal as the three generals. It was Zefa who enlightened him several times to get him out of the haze.
Now that I heard that Ron was already the appointed general, my first thought was disbelief, followed by deep reluctance.
When he was decadent and enjoying himself in the East China Sea, the weakest sea... someone was already chasing him and far surpassed him!
Soryu, Ron!
"It's all the teacher's teachings. I just made some insignificant efforts, which is not worth mentioning."
Ron nodded, smiling.
Smoker was silent...
As expected, the audit results of the Luoge Town base fall into the category of no major incidents and constant minor incidents.
Most of the problems centered on Smoker's handling of the situation. Although he was dedicated to his duties, there were indeed deviations in his personal abilities.
Flying Squirrel issued an order for him to make rectifications within a time limit. After the meeting, he called Smoker out with a dark face and secretly handed him an unknown amount of Bailey so that he would avoid getting into trouble.
As an old father, I am really worried about Smoker.
Smoker, who was holding the money, solemnly thanked the flying squirrel, then nodded and flew back to the base building, finding Ron in the lounge he had prepared for the visitors of the headquarters.
At this time, Dusky had just left. The little girl firmly believed that Ron was a powerful swordsman. Although it was very abrupt, she still expected Ron to teach her swordsmanship.
Ron's head was full of dark thoughts about this.
fencing
My swordsmanship is all about slashing, slashing!
Relying on the speed of Thunder Man and the sharpness of Thunder Cloud, many world-famous swordsmen would not be able to block his sharp and swift cuts even if they did not use other abilities. Ron would naturally not learn the swordsmanship of Lao Shizi. .
This is nonsense!
So after a long round of deception, Dasqi was convinced that Flying Squirrel was a more proficient swordsman than Ron.
Remembering the ferocious look on Flying Squirrel's face at the previous review meeting, Dasqi trotted to find Flying Squirrel for advice, just like the execution ground, with the awareness that "a strong man never comes back".
At this moment, Smoker turned into a ball of white smoke and flew in. Ron poured himself a drink, turned on the TV while drinking, and enjoyed the rare rest in the past two months.
Seeing him flying in, Ron took out a fine cigar from the gold box and threw it over.
"then!"
Smoker then realized that he hadn't lit his cigar for several hours.
He glanced at the gold box inlaid with gems on the table, and without saying a word, he silently took out the lighter...
Zizzi!
At this time, a flash of electricity flashed through the air, and as soon as the lighter was taken out of his pocket, the cigar was lit.
Smoker looked at the lit cigar in astonishment, remained silent for a moment, then put it to his mouth and took a puff.
The aroma of high-quality cigars spreads in the small lounge. Even non-smokers will not find it choking. The rich aroma is refreshing and not only harmless to the body, but also good for the body.
This kind of special cigar is a fine product prepared by Fujitora to entertain government officials and nobles from various countries. The taste is naturally different from the inferior cigar smoked by Smoker twice at a time.
The slight dizziness relieved Smoker's heavy mood. He leaned back on the large sofa and took a deep breath.
"Ron... Lieutenant General, if I want to ask you to help lobby the marshal to transfer me back to the Grand Line, can you do that?"
Return to the Grand Line
"Why do you suddenly have this idea? Is the life stationed in Rogge Town too peaceful?"
Ron looked at him funny, knowing that if Luffy hadn't escaped from him and fled to the Grand Line, who knows how many years Smoker would have stayed in Rogue Town.
Being "transferred" to the East China Sea for so many years has not smoothed out Smoker's temper. He is still the thorn in the side that gives many people a headache.
Everyone would find it strange that such a person suddenly wants to transfer back to the Grand Line.
Smoker understood Ron's doubts very well, so he nodded and explained.
"Yeah, it's so peaceful!"
"Compared with the Grand Line, the East China Sea is as calm as a pool of stagnant water. In the past, it was just because I didn't like those pedantic bosses that I could stay in Rogge Town and hang around... At least here, there are no inactive officials pointing fingers. Everything is decided by me.”
"If Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel hears this... he will definitely be very angry!"
Ron suddenly said with meaning, making Smoker shrink his neck.
More pedantic than stuck in a rut, no one among the sixteen lieutenants of the navy can compare with the flying squirrel.
Smoker immediately took a puff of his cigar in embarrassment and decided to skip the topic.
"But it's different now!"
Smoker raised his head and looked at Ron seriously.
"Admiral, that's my dream too!!"
