People are full of pirates

Chapter 421 Ten Years
,

In May of 1510, it snowed heavily in Marinfando.

The temperature dropped by more than [-] degrees, the sky and the earth were white, the rime was foggy, and the cold wind was howling.

A team of sailors on duty is patrolling along the Crescent Harbor. After a long time, it is inevitable that their hands and feet will be cold.

"so cold……"

A thin recruit who had just been transferred to the headquarters rubbed his hands, let out a breath of steam, and complained, "This year's weather is too abnormal. In this season, it snows so much..."

As he said that, he subconsciously glanced at the sturdy Sergeant Captain in front of him, and couldn't help but look envious, "Captain, are you really not cold at all? You don't even wear a cotton jacket. If I only wear yours, I probably have to wear it." Frozen to death here."

"Hahaha, silly boy, I'm from Beihai just like you, so I've gotten used to it a long time ago. Besides, with my physical fitness, how could it be affected by this level of cooling?"

The old sergeant lit a cigarette, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him with a smile, "So, Drake, let you work harder in your usual practice, as long as your strength can reach my level, this seemingly Inclement weather is a trifle."

"Have you reached your level?"

The thin recruit named Drake scratched his head, "It feels so far away, Captain, you are so powerful, I don't know if I can catch up in my life."

"No prospect, can you have some ambition? At least you have to surpass your father, right?"

The old military man exhaled a puff of smoke, "My strength is nothing in the headquarters. I am not even qualified to participate in this war."

"Eh???"

Drake's eyes widened, "No way, even you..."

"What do you think, all those who participated in the war this time are the elite among the elite, and the lowest is a second lieutenant." The old soldier Cao laughed dumbfounded, and pointed to several warships parked in the distance, "See the row of warships over there?" ?”

"That is……"

Drake looked along.

"They are all major branches. The elites have been transferred in the past two days! They are from all over the world to the new world, and this is just the beginning."

"In the future, more and more elites from all over the world will rush to the headquarters, and this war will definitely be an unprecedented war!"

The old soldier Cao became more and more excited as he talked, his eyes sparkled brightly:
"The fate of the navy and pirates, the direction of the world and the times will all be determined by this war!"

As if in response to his words, there was a piercing buzzing from the harbor radio, and then a pleasant voice came from inside:

"Marin Fanduo announced that two large standard warships of the G2 branch have arrived at the port, with a nuclear capacity of 2300 people. Please go to the No. 23 camp of the headquarters to gather reports after completing the landing according to the dispatch."

"...Repeat, Marin Fando announced that two large standard warships of the G2 branch have arrived at the port, with a nuclear capacity of 2300 people. Please go to the No. 23 camp of the headquarters to gather reports after following the dispatch and completing the landing."

……

Looking far away to the northeast, through the heavy snow, one can vaguely see the shadows of two white ships, which are not inferior in size to the standard warships of the headquarters, slowly approaching here.

"Ha, Mr. Huang Yuan has arrived!"

The old sergeant was taken aback for a moment, but then regained his energy, and happily turned his head with a cigarette in his mouth, "Mr. Huang Yuan is the strongest lieutenant general in the entire navy except for Mr. Karp! Hey, boys, do you want to follow?" Shall I go and have a look?"

"of course yes!"

"Let's go, Captain!"

The sailors behind him also became excited. Huang Yuan has been famous in the sea for many years. Although he is still a candidate for general, in the eyes of all the sailors in the headquarters, he is no different from a general.

It's rare to go back to the headquarters once. Many recruits in the patrol team have never seen this big man. Naturally, they want to go to learn more and satisfy their inner admiration and curiosity.

Drake also forgot about the cold in an instant, quickened his pace and followed his colleagues to the northeast shore.

After running a few steps, he suddenly noticed that the old soldier seemed to have fallen behind. Looking back, the latter stopped at some point and was staring blankly at the southwest sky. The smoke from the corner of his mouth fell into the snow. Did not notice.

"What's the matter, Captain?"

Drake was puzzled, and asked in doubt, "Didn't you say you wanted to take us to meet Mr. Yellow Ape?"

"To see Mr. Huang Yuan?"

His voice woke up the old sergeant, who turned back and grabbed Drake's shoulders suddenly, his eyes flashed with excitement that Drake had never seen before,

"Team...Captain?"

Drake snorted, it was the first time he saw the captain with a calm personality, such a gaffe.

"See Mr. Huang Yuan! Just kidding, there is no time!"

The old soldier pointed to the sky in the southwest direction, laughing wildly like a roar, "There is a thunder! Do you see it! Drake, there is a blue thunder coming!"

"Do you know what that means!"

Lei Guang?

Blue thunder?
Drake was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he suddenly realized something, his eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly looked up in disbelief: "You mean..."

"Yes, Drake!"

"It's Mr. Bailong, Mr. Bailong has finally returned to the headquarters!!"

……

Rumble!
Rolling thunder was approaching rapidly from a distance, and under the focus of countless eyes, the blue streamer paused over the Marin Fanduo port, revealing Nuo Xia's figure.

"Marin Vandeau..."

Nuo Xia looked at the majestic white fortress in front of him, and suddenly smiled, "It's been a long time since I came back."

He stretched out a palm, watching the snowflakes fluttering one after another, falling on his palm, and then quickly melting, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

If I remember correctly, when he left Donghai for the first time and came to the headquarters to report, it happened that such a heavy snow fell, right?
After careful calculation, exactly ten years have passed since that day.

"Has it been ten years?"

Nuo Xia sighed softly.

A full ten years.

Time turns back, and all the memories of ten years ago, as if they were still yesterday, gradually perfectly overlap with the snow scene in front of us.

The only difference is that ten years ago, he was an unknown boy from a remote town in the East China Sea. When he set foot on the land of Marin Fando, he looked up at the majestic headquarters fortress building, his eyes full of longing;
But ten years later, now he is the world-renowned White Dragon, a strong man standing on the top of the world, overlooking this fortress, where are countless high-ranking officers of the Navy Headquarters who are eagerly awaiting his return, and those who have already prepared for him. General's seat.

Suddenly there was a faint sound of commotion in the ear, and Nuo Xia followed the sound and looked down, but it was the huge Marin Vanduo Square. More and more sailors discovered him, full of surprises, and they were desperately waving to the sky. Excited to stand at attention and salute.

This is obviously just the beginning.

It can be expected that within a few hours at most, the news of Nuo Xia's return will spread from one to another, spreading throughout the entire Marin Vanduo area, causing a sensation.

Nuo Xia smiled and waved to the ground, then stopped staying, and turned into a blue streamer, shooting towards the headquarters building.

……

On the top floor of the fortress building in the headquarters, the highest meeting was in progress, and when they felt Nuo Xia's breath approaching quickly from far to near, almost everyone subconsciously looked at each other, and then got up and left the seat in unconcealed excitement.

then.

When Nuo Xia stepped into the door of the conference room, what he faced was surrounded by familiar faces.

"Mr. Bailong!"

"Nuo Xia! You guys are finally back!"

"Hahaha, stinky brat, I miss you so much, let me give you a hug!"

……

"Hey, hey, don't be so exaggerated."

With a random push, Nuo Xia avoided Karp's big hand that was still picking his nose just now, and then looked around with a smile under the old man's eyes full of resentment:

"Let me tell you, everyone, I've only been away for a few years, how come it's like a parting life that I haven't seen in decades."

"How dare you say it!"

Before he finished speaking, he got kicked in the buttocks, but it was Taotu who appeared behind him at some point, his almond eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was dangerous, "Hey, didn't you say yesterday that you would be back on Monday? Why did you come earlier? How many days?"

"Of course it's because I miss you so much, Commodore."

Nuo Xia casually kissed the little rabbit's delicate cheek, and shrugged with a smile after parting, "That's why I gave up all my rest time and ran at full speed day and night, so that I can..."

"Run your mouth and run your train."

Taotu rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "Go, go, what occasion is this, old couples still say this, it doesn't feel disgusting."

"Oh, then tonight I will accompany Bellemer and Shia, and you will sleep with Nami and the others."

"you dare!"

"Okay, let's take a seat!"

Qingzhi slammed Nuo Xia on the shoulder, and cursed with a smile, "I had enough dog food for the two of you at the headquarters, and it's been a few years since you stopped, and then you came back and fed it to me, right?"

A group of people sat down again amidst laughter. Compared with three years ago, the most annoying Marshal Weir was kicked away. Several veteran lieutenant generals who didn't like Nuo Xia at the beginning have also retired, and now they are still eligible It can be said that all those who participated in the summit meeting were close acquaintances with Nuo Xia.

Of course, there are also a few new faces.

Just like...

"Ghost spider? Flying squirrel?" Nuo Xia noticed the two people in the corner and raised his eyebrows, "Not bad, you two have also been promoted to lieutenant general?"

"Yes, Mr. Nuo Xia."

The flying squirrel and the ghost spider nodded quickly, and then smiled at each other in a tacit understanding. They obviously recalled the time when they were on the Thunder Eagle and followed Nuo Xia to fight around.

It's really nostalgic...

Without those honing years and without Mr. Nuo Xia's advice, they would not have been able to grow so fast and become the new generation of lieutenant generals of the headquarters at a speed far exceeding that of their peers.

"Okay, it's still important to get down to business."

After almost calming down, Nuo Xia looked at Warring States on the main seat, "Continue with the topic just now, where did you talk?"

The seat where he was sitting was the only vacant seat in the front row of the entire conference room. It was obviously reserved by the headquarters by default, and it was on the right hand side of Warring States.

On the left hand side of Sengoku, which is opposite to him, is Akainu.

Seats for Aokiji, Karp, Crane and the others are still in the back.

"You guy, as always, you don't like long-winded words..."

Warring States laughed and shook his head, then sighed, and his expression became serious, "Okay, let's continue to talk about the business. As for the topic, we just talked about the preparations for this war. The major branches are already fully cooperating with the headquarters to mobilize elites, but seven On the other side of Wu Hai..."

"Not very cooperative?" Nuo Xia frowned.

"……Um."

Sengoku nodded with a wry smile.

—————————
Nine Snake Island, in the palace of Amazon Lily.

"Navy Headquarters launched the Qiwuhai summoning order?"

After listening to the report of a middle-aged female soldier, the mother-in-law who just woke up and was washing her head raised her head in astonishment, "Why is it at this time?"

"Yes, mother-in-law."

The middle-aged female soldier on the opposite side smiled wryly, "What should we do, because there has been no news about Mr. Nuo Xia in the newspaper for a long time, and Master She Ji's mood is getting worse and worse. These two days are the worst time, If you go to talk to her about it, it's almost impossible to agree..."

"Be confident and remove the word almost."

The mother-in-law snorted, and her expression became ugly, "That wayward guy is usually difficult enough to persuade, not to mention that the navy is still coming to add fuel to the fire at this time..."

"But the Navy Headquarters has said that if Lord Snake can't arrive in time, she will be removed from the Seven Martial Seas, and a reward will be offered again."

The middle-aged female soldier was full of worry, "In that case, the safety of our Amazon Lily will be..."

If it was changed to more than ten years ago, because Jiu Snake Island was located in a windless belt, this pirate country full of women would not need to worry about the threat from the Navy Headquarters at all.

However, after the genius Dr. Vegapunk, who is rare in a thousand years, invented the method of adding sea stones to the bottom of the naval warship, the natural barrier of the windless belt no longer has any effect in front of the navy.

The only thing that can keep Amazon Lily alive is the position of the Empress Qiwuhai. If Hancock is deprived of it because of his willfulness, the future of this country can be imagined.

"Although I don't have any hope, I still have to give it a try..."

After thinking for a long time with a sad face, the mother-in-law still sighed, left the table with a cane, and walked out the door:
"Remember to call a few people to guard outside the window of the palace. If the old body is thrown out by Snake Princess, you must catch it. My old bones can't stand a few times..."

After a few minutes.

With a scream, Granny Ze's body was thrown high up like a kite with a broken string, and fell into the haystack:
"Human! Why is there no one to pick up the old man!"

……

Great route, somewhere old castle.

"Seven Wuhai Summoning Order?"

Listening to the voice from the microphone, Hawkeye frowned and remained silent.

"Yes, Mr. Mihawk."

The person in charge of the contact was a major general of the headquarters, and he said carefully, "Although we all know that with your personality, you don't really like to get involved in this kind of thing, but this time the situation is different, the matter is of great importance, you must have to……"

"Has Mr. Nuo Xia returned to the headquarters?"

Mihawk spoke coldly and interrupted him.

"Not yet, but..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Mihawk hung up the phone with a "snap", shook his head, turned and left the living room.

"boring."

The twilight came in through the window lattice of the old castle, dragging the back of him walking with the sword in the corridor for a long time.

The Navy Headquarters without Mr. Nuo Xia deserves him to travel thousands of miles to work hard?
　The epidemic has been repeated, and I went home early for the New Year. I spent the whole day changing trains on the high-speed rail today. I was dizzy. I didn’t arrive at the hotel until ten o’clock.

　　Good night everyone, stay safe~
