Chapter 7: Vivian, I love you!

"Have all the people been rescued?"

With short silver hair and two smoking cigars in his mouth, Smoker stood at the bow of the warship and asked a soldier beside him.

"Reporting to Colonel Smoker, a total of 58 civilians have been salvaged from the sea. Most of them have regained consciousness. Only a few are seriously injured and are currently being rescued."

“I see…”

He took a deep breath, and although Smoker's face didn't show any expression, it still looked ferocious, but a hint of worry flashed across his face.

"Report on the casualties of this battle."

"The total number of casualties is seventy-four. Among them, two third-class soldiers were unfortunately hit by flintlock rifles and died on the spot. Among the remaining seventy-two people, except for one who was seriously injured, the rest only suffered minor injuries to varying degrees." The soldier continued to report.

The seriously injured navy soldier was the one captured as a hostage by the one-eyed pirate in a fit of anger when he was forced into a desperate situation by Smoker.

"By the way, where is Tashigi?" Smoker asked again.

Just as he finished speaking, inside the cabin, Tashigi, whose face was as dark as if she had just returned from coal mining, suddenly ran out in a hurry and looked at Smoker with a sincere expression.

"Colonel Smoker, please make sure that man in the emergency room joins the navy!"

Smoker:

...

The memories end here.

Time goes back to the present, two years later.

"Vivian, good afternoon!"

In the cafeteria of the Rogue Town Naval Base.

As soon as Vivian sat down with a plate, he saw a middle-aged man in a black suit and a navy coat approaching him with his right hand raised.

Vivian: (?_?)

The man's name is Papanov, he is fifty years old and is a major at the Rogge Town Base.

Yes, you heard it right, a fifty-year-old major.

Papanov is a guy with no talent, but he still relied on his own efforts and ability to read people's expressions to work his way up to his current position as a major in the branch.

His dream is to be successfully promoted to the position of colonel before retirement, then receive a good pension safely, and live a leisurely life of planting flowers and drinking tea in a quiet and peaceful place like Donghai.

Of course, to realize such a dream, his own efforts alone are obviously not enough.

"Vivian, my men have found out the whereabouts of the 'Giant Blade Pirates'. I will go out to sea tomorrow morning to carry out the capture operation. Do you want to come with me?"

"No." Vivian replied without thinking.

"I'm your direct supervisor. If you say you don't want to go, then don't go. Believe it or not, I will deduct your salary."

"You can deduct it, it's not much money anyway."

Vivian spread her hands, looking nonchalant.

The sergeant only gets paid 350,000 Baileys a month, and unless he wants to smoke a few cigarettes occasionally, he has no use for the money as he only eats in the cafeteria.

"Do you think I don't dare to dunk?" Papanov's eyes widened.

"Did I ever tell you that you wouldn't?"

Vivian put the quickie down, took out a handkerchief, wiped his lips, and then said slowly: "But before you deduct my salary, I think it is necessary to remind you that I have applied for leave tomorrow. According to the military regulations of the Rogue Town Base, soldiers cannot be deprived of their leave qualifications unless there is an emergency. Violators will be fined or demoted once reported..."

"Demotion?"

Papanov was so angry that his beard flew all over the place. Just as he was about to curse, Couto came over with a plate in his hand. He looked at him and said, "I'll go with you, Colonel Papanov. This guy is probably scared. When he met the villains in town yesterday, he was so scared that he apologized directly. It's a disgrace to our navy."

Cotto felt angry when he thought about what happened yesterday, and he had already labeled Vivian as "weak and incompetent" and "cowardly".

However, just as Vivian was about to say "yes, yes, yes", the next second, the option popped up in her field of vision.

Option 1: Continue to ignore Papanov. (Completion reward: Random plane defense skill x1)

Option 2: Agree to go to sea with Papanov. (Completion reward: random skill experience +2)

strangeness..

A hint of doubt flashed across Vivian's face.

What danger could it bring to me if I stayed in Rogue Town

Could it be that Papanov is still holding a grudge and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on me

He thought so and then shook his head.

He knew Papanov's character very well. Not only was he timid and cowardly, he was also always submissive to his superiors. Even if his subordinates made him angry, he would at most curse at them or make verbal threats, and would never do anything extreme.

"Is it because of Luffy?"

Now happened to be the beginning of the year 1522 in the Haiyuan calendar. He remembered that in the original work, the Straw Hat Pirates passed through Rogue Town around this time.

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

So Vivian immediately changed her tone and said to Papanov, "But considering your age, I decided to sacrifice my vacation and reluctantly accompany you on the trip."

You chose option 2, craftsman experience +2

Papanov was delighted when he heard this. He stepped forward, put his arm around Vivian's shoulders and said, "I knew you knew how to respect your elders."

"hehe."

Vivian grinned and gave a fake smile.

Seeing this, Cotto's impression of Vivian became even worse.

Are you angry

The navy of Rogue Town is really not mature at all.

...

"Vivian, I like you! Please accept my love."

On the way back to the dormitory, a female navy officer with a ponytail suddenly appeared from the front, holding a letter and a bag of homemade snacks. She handed them to Vivian awkwardly, then lowered her head and blushed instantly.

Vivian: “…”

Having been in the Rogue Town Base for two years, this was not the first time he had encountered a confession of love like this.

There’s nothing I can do about it. Who told me I’m so handsome

Looking at the nervous and shy look of the female navy, three options popped up in Vivian's mind at the same time.

Option 1: Gladly accept the confession. (Completion reward: a famous sword from a random plane)

Option 2: Accept the gift first, then refuse it privately later. (Completion reward: Swordsmanship experience +100)

Option 3: Refuse with strong words. (Completion reward: Basic attribute +1)

"Forehead.."

Vivian tilted her head.

Although he originally wanted to refuse, but...

Why would it be dangerous to agree to this

He couldn't figure it out.

So Vivian took a step forward and put her face in front of the female navy.

"Am I handsome?" Vivian asked.

"ah?"

The female navy officer, who had not expected Vivian to ask such a question, was stunned for a moment, then nodded shyly.

"Um."

"So do you think you are beautiful?"

"It's... it's OK."

"Well enough?"

Vivian chuckled when she heard that, "So you're worthy of being with me?"

You chose option 3, and received a reward: Spirit +1

The air suddenly became quiet.

About five seconds later.

Bang!

The female navy raised her hand and slapped Vivian's handsome face, then turned around and ran away crying.

Vivian was left standing there in shock, covering her left cheek, unable to speak for a long time.
