Why would it be dangerous to stay in the headquarters
Three nature-type devil fruits...the risk factor should be at the upper-middle level among the many option rewards he has chosen, right
At this moment, although he could directly choose the second option to escape from danger, he couldn't help but feel curious.
What would happen if I stayed at the headquarters
He thought to himself.
But after thinking for a while, he shook his head.
If I were alone, I could satisfy my curiosity. After all, my strength is online now, and the three devil fruits can help Domino and Airi improve their ability to protect themselves.
But the key point is, if he doesn't leave, how can he get rid of Domino and the others
As I was thinking, I soon arrived at the base cafeteria.
He picked up the plate and ordered four dishes and a soup under the gaze of all the soldiers. The dishes were: fish and seafood, roasted pork trotters, roast duck, stir-fried spinach, and a bowl of mixed noodles as the staple food.
He found a place near the corner and sat down, rubbed his hands, picked up the snack and started eating. Jinbei, who was sitting opposite him, did the same.
But compared to Vivian, Jinbei was not very good at using things like quick spoons. He just held the spoon clumsily and kept shoveling rice into his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Vivian remembered that Jinbei seemed to have said that he had hardly eaten food like this served on a plate since he was a child, so there was nothing strange about his clumsy look.
Soon, after going back and forth to the window several times to order more dishes and eating enough food for seven people, Vivian finally stopped, leaned back in his seat, patted his stomach, and then took out a cigar and put it in his mouth.
"Hey, Jinbe."
"What's wrong, General Vivian?"
Jinbei, holding a teacup in his hand, immediately looked at Vivian.
"Do you want to go back to your hometown?"
"Go back to your hometown?"
I don't understand why Vivian suddenly brought up this, but when I think about it carefully, it has been two and a half years since he was captured and taken to Impel Down. He hasn't been back to Fishman Island to take a look.
Yes, that's right. Even when he escaped from Impel Down to visit Ace's grave, in order not to break his promise with Vivian, he stayed at Ace's grave for two days and then returned directly.
I didn't expect that such a long time has passed..
"I really want to go back...but..."
"Don't say buts. Just go back if you want. Are you worried that your vacation time is not enough? It doesn't matter. I will ask Akainu for permission to go out to sea for patrol for half a month. We will go to Kensangmia first, pick up Princess Shirahoshi, and send her directly back to Fishman Island."
"This..this is not good."
Jinbei was somewhat tempted by what he heard, but he always felt that this was abusing public power for personal gain. "We are the navy. I think it is really hard to talk about using the name of patrolling to have fun."
"What do you mean by playing under the guise of sea patrol? We are really on sea patrol, but the patrol route is from the headquarters to Kensangmia, and then to Mermaid Island. If we encounter a pirate ship on the way, we will definitely take action to arrest it." Vivian said.
"Forehead.."
When Jinbei heard this, he thought that this seemed to be the truth, and he couldn't resist the temptation and nodded immediately.
So, three and a half hours later.
"So hasty?"
Domino appeared at the dock carrying a lot of luggage. He glanced at Vivian, Aili and others who were already waiting on the deck, and couldn't help but said, "Can't we wait until tomorrow morning? It will be dark soon."
"tomorrow?"
Vivian thought that by tomorrow the option would be automatically selected, but by then it would be too late.
But he said, "The fifteen-day patrol that Marshal Akainu just approved will start from today. Do you want to stay in the base for one more day and do one more daily training?"
"Ah? Then we have to leave quickly."
Hearing this, Domino quickly lifted the luggage onto the boat and then asked, "Why is it only fifteen days? I remember that the patrol at sea can last for more than a month at most, right?"
“That’s when there’s a clear goal.”
Take Smoker for example. That guy vowed to his superiors that he would be able to capture Straw Hat Boy Luffy and bring him to Impel Down within two months. Only then did the headquarters approve his application to allow him to wander outside for a long time.
But the result is predictable..
More than two years have passed, and Smoker still hasn't captured any member of the Straw Hat Pirates. This is more than ten times longer than the two months he promised.
"Anyway, during this half-month holiday... ahem, during this half-month patrol period, everyone must be alert and try to capture as many pirates as possible who have been rewarded."
"yes!"
After that, a large group of errand soldiers began to move the food to the medium-sized warship that Vivian was on.
Ten cooks, twenty clerks, five sailors, two hundred naval soldiers of the third to first class rank, plus the admiral Vivian, as well as Domino, Airi, Jinbe, and Fujitora, a total of two hundred and forty people, embarked on this patrol journey together.
The other side.
"At this critical moment, Vivian suddenly said he was going out on patrol. Do you think he was going to inform the revolutionary army?"
In the base building, He and Zhan Guo, whom he hadn't seen for many days, stood in front of the window. Both of them held a teacup in their hands. After taking a sip, He said.
"Haven't we been observing him for two years? I don't think he has any connection with the Revolutionary Army..."
"What about his friend Kuto?" He continued, "Kuto killed a Celestial Dragon and then joined the Revolutionary Army."
"Has it been confirmed that Couto will join the Revolutionary Army?" asked Sengoku.
"According to the information sent back by CP0, they saw Couto board Saab's ship with their own eyes."
“I see…”
Zhan Guo drank the tea in his hand after hearing this and said, "Just because you are on the ship doesn't mean you will definitely join the organization."
The air suddenly became silent.
The two of them watched the warship in front of the dock until it disappeared on the sea level. Zhan Guo then continued, "It just so happens that the World Government sent someone here recently. It's just right that the guy left, so that he doesn't stay here and cause trouble."
“What did the government send people here for?”
"It seems to be a routine check-up. In the past two years, didn't people always come here to draw blood to check the soldiers' health problems?" said Zhan Guo.
...
The other side.
“Eh…”
Tashigi, who came out of the headquarters base, pushed her glasses on her nose, revealing a slightly puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?" Smoker asked.
"My glasses...seem to be heavier than yesterday."
"Heavier than yesterday?" Smoker was stunned for a moment. "Could it be your illusion?"
"Maybe it's because I caught a cold..."
Dashigi touched her forehead and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Vivian's figure appeared in his mind again.
"Do I have to wait half a month before I can see him again..."
