It was calm on the sea.
Because of Vegapunk's technology, all warships in the Navy are inlaid with sea tower stones.
These sea tower stones will make the monsters living in the sea mistakenly think that the warship is the sea itself and ignore it. Therefore, compared with the thrills and excitement of ordinary pirate ships sailing on the Grand Route, the navy's journey is relatively safer.
Saitama was basking in the sun on the deck as usual, leaning on the deck chair and reading today's latest newspaper leisurely.
Dasqi also practiced swordsmanship repeatedly beside him, heading towards a stronger path.
Everything is so peaceful and beautiful.
but…
"Sneeze!"
Suddenly, Saitama sneezed.
Rubbing his nose inexplicably, Saitama blinked blankly.
When Taski heard the voice next to him, he immediately put down his sword, Shigure, and asked Saitama with concern: "Mr. Saitama, do you have a cold?"
"Ah, no..."
Saitama touched his arm and said thoughtfully: "I feel like someone is saying bad things about me behind my back..."
The crow's mouth is always very clever.
Before Saitama could finish speaking, the phone on the table next to him suddenly rang.
“Bulu Bulu…”
"Kacha!"
Dasqi answered the phone and asked politely: "Hello, this is Rear Admiral Saitama's warship. Who is it?"
"Oh! It's little sister Dasqi!"
Immediately, Garp's noisy gong voice came from the other end of the phone, and he said with a rough laugh: "It is said that you and Saitama boy have a very good relationship recently. Young people dare to love and hate. It is really enviable, hahaha... "
…
Dasqi's pretty face turned red, lowered her head and whispered: "...I'm going to die."
"Hey! I'm just joking! Wait a moment!"
On the other side of the phone, Garp was chewing senbei while holding a letter of appointment in his hand and said loudly: "I contacted you this time, but I brought you some great news! Dasqi Little sister, you are really unkind... Well... The headquarters already knows what happened to you on the Sky Island a few days ago. You are worthy of Saitama. Even Shiji was beaten to death by one punch... "
Dasqi was stunned: "Huh? Is it a commendation order? But I didn't report military merit to the headquarters..."
"I know you didn't report it. It's not okay for you to keep a low profile like this."
On the other end of the phone, Garp complained a few words at first, then seemed to remember something, and laughed loudly: "You won't believe it, but the person who came to report military merit to Saitama boy is actually that bastard Kaido! Phew... This almost made me laugh out loud. The four emperors of the new world surrendered themselves and were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. It was actually for reporting military merit to a rear admiral, hahaha... "
Garp was laughing so hard that he almost shed tears, while Dasqi looked confused.
I have no idea what Garp is laughing about.
…
Saitama saw that Tashiqi didn't speak for a long time, and asked curiously: "Tashiqi, what's wrong?"
Dasqi smiled brightly and brought the phone to Saitama: "I don't know how to communicate with him..."
"Oh, let me come then."
As soon as Saitama answered the phone, he heard a lunatic laughing inside, so he hung up the phone with his eyes closed.
Then a second later, the phone bug rang again.
“Bulu Bulu…”
"Kacha!"
Without waiting for the other end of the phone to speak, Saitama said bluntly: "I have already bought a newspaper, and I don't need insurance. I don't want to invest in a shop, and I don't need a high-interest loan..."
"What are you talking about, you brat!"
Garp on the other end of the phone yelled angrily: "I'm Garp, Garp! Saitama boy, can't you even recognize my voice!?"
Saitama blinked: "Ah, I can hear it now."
"Forget it...you did a good job this time, I won't be angry with you..."
Over there, Garp took a bite of senbei and said vaguely with a mouth full of scum: "Saitama boy, you solved the Golden Lion matter. The headquarters already knows about it. After our high-level negotiation meeting, we decided to promote you. How about it? It's a good job." Good news, right?"
Saitama's eyes lit up: "Will the salary increase?"
"Of course, it's about twice as high as before."
On the other end of the phone, Garp grinned widely and said: "The letter of appointment is on the way. From now on, you are already a vice admiral and candidate for general at the Navy Headquarters, code-named 'Cloud Turtle'! How about this, we can discuss this code name." After talking for a long time, I finally decided on it after all, and it suits you very well, right?"
Cloud... Cloud Turtle
The corners of Saitama's mouth twitched: "... Such a rustic name, can I not give it up?"
"That's not possible. A lieutenant general who is a candidate for general will be given a code name. This is a rule that has existed before."
Garp on the other end of the phone said rather unconvinced: "And how is 'Cloud Turtle' so tacky, Saitama boy? Don't you think this codename is very similar to your personality? Besides, the bald head and the turtle shell also seem to go well together. …”
Saitama waved his hands with empty eyes: "Not at all..."
"The rules for code names are the color and animal that match the general or candidate for general."
In the headquarters, Garp clasped his hands on his chest, shook his calves and said: "In recent years, there have been many capable newcomers in the Navy. Almost all of them have been given code names. The only one left is more pleasant. You don't want to be called 'Blue'." Cat' huh?"
Upon hearing this, Saitama understood.
"so… "
Saitama sighed and smiled: "Who came up with the name Blue Cat?"
Not surprisingly, Cap's heroic laughter came from the other end of the phone once again.
"Of course I am too! Hahahaha..."
…
The phone bug hangs up.
Dasqi heard what the phone bug said just now.
After rummaging around for a long time, Taschi finally pulled out a personal amulet and handed it to Saitama.
He smiled towards Saitama and said: "Mr. Saitama, congratulations on your promotion... I didn't prepare a gift in advance. This is the amulet I have been wearing since I was a child. I will give this to you. I hope you won't dislike it. "
"Isn't this... too expensive?"
Saitama looked at the amulet in Taschi's hand. After thinking about it, he picked it up, then reached out and put the amulet around Taschi's neck again.
Dasqi was a little overwhelmed by this somewhat intimate move.
His face turned red and he blinked.
The sea breeze blows.
What caught his eye was an extremely warm smile.
Saitama raised the corner of his mouth and showed his thumb: "If you are safe, that is the best blessing you can give me."
For a moment, my heart skipped a beat.
"Yes! Mr. Saitama!"
Dasqi stood at attention and saluted habitually, and then stuck out her tongue playfully: "No, it should be Lieutenant General Yungui!"
…
Saitama scratched his head in confusion: "... Please forgive me for this name."
