Pirate: I am Wang Lufei

Chapter 491 No Rise or Fall
The sword with the scabbard came down and hit Luffy on the head.

"It hurts~"

Tashigi took Shigure and banged it on Luffy's head, her cheeks puffed up as she could no longer endure it.

"Colonel Luffy, Colonel!"

Dashigi said unbearably.

"You should also start working. I can't be the only one to bear the blame!"

"Tashigi, we've just surfaced, it's time to enjoy the sunbath!" Luffy argued.

"That's the logistics department!" Dashigi stared at Luffy's pants with sharp eyes.

"I told you that we need to straighten out the discipline on board! We are the navy, not some casual tourist group. We must not be as corrupt as the G5 base!"

"Come and handle the government affairs with me quickly!" Dashigi pushed Lufei into the house.

"How long has it been since you last went to the office? No, have you ever been to the office to take a look?"

"Isn't my job to fight pirates? Look, I've only killed over 200,000 pirates. Can't I take a break and relax?"

Luffy was reluctantly pushed forward by Dashigi, his eyes fixed on Nami's trembling chest.

"Yes, I know that Captain Luffy has made great contributions, but he has also had enough time off on Fishman Island! Please get back to work!"

"I... I'm seriously injured, I'm sick, very weak, I need to rest..." Luffy thought of another excuse.

"I can't tell at all! After resting for so long, even if there are fractures all over the body, they should be healed."

Dashigi is ruthless.

"Tashigi, don't you want to come and bask in the sun?" Seeing Luffy's reluctant look, Nami's face was filled with smile. She put her hands behind her back to unbutton her clothes, preparing to change into a swimsuit.

"I'll come out to bask in the sun after I finish my work... No, you guys have to work hard too!" Dashiqi yelled at the girls on the other side.

"Then I will wait for the captain's instructions before setting off again."

Nami threw her clothes aside, her dazzling white skin seemed to glow in the sun.

She stretched out her arms, felt the sea breeze, then changed into a swimsuit and swam on her back in the swimming pool.

"Yes, Miss Nami is a navigator, so there are no further instructions and you can rest." Tashigi thought.

"Then I..." Luffy also wanted to say that he was a colonel and could slack off normally, "Secretary, Robin is my secretary, she is in charge of all government affairs!"

Secretary, please help!
"Miss Robin did not perform her duties properly, and Mr. Colonel, please do not always trouble others. You should do your own things. We have already helped you deal with many things!"

"Grandpa also leaves things to his adjutant..." Luffy said as a matter of course.

"That's right, we in logistics also have to do our job well. Does anyone want some dessert?" Nojigo was a little greedy and asked everyone.

"I want ice cream!" Nami was the first to respond.

Then Nojigo remembered something, "Sorry, sorry, I forgot, the cabin has been eaten up by you, so the chef wants to enjoy swimming."

Nojigo unbuckled his belt and started changing clothes like Nami while Vivi blushed and stared at him with wide eyes.

Musicians are slacking off anytime and anywhere. Uta is already choosing her favorite swimsuit.

"Logistics department~ reasonable fishing!" Nami and Nojiko clapped their hands in the water, fully enjoying the sunshine.

"Are we the only two working normally?" Luffy said in disbelief.

"You are the only one, because I am a combatant and senior who guides the novices to familiarize themselves with naval affairs..." said Dashigi.

Luffy was dragged away by Dashigi with a look of despair on his face, and Vivi covered her mouth and smiled slightly when she saw this.

"Robin-san, can you use your clone to help Luffy? It would be lonely to work alone when the whole ship is resting."

Robin's work ability is unquestionable. Even if he was sending naval telegrams on behalf of others and disguising himself as a naval officer, the base would not be able to tell.

"I understand, Your Highness." Robin nodded slightly.

Pushing open the heavy vermilion door, what comes into view is the navy's classic seagull flag logo hanging on the wall.

A colonel sat in the center, followed by several dozing Den Den Mushi, and a tall woman wearing sunglasses and looking out the window while sitting at her desk.

"Robin!" Luffy was overjoyed, "I knew you wouldn't leave me alone!"

Robin supported his chin with one hand and turned his head lazily, "Don't get me wrong, Colonel. I'm just following Lady Weiwei's instructions and assisting you with your work."

"It's all the same. I believe that with your invincible ability, government affairs can be resolved quickly!"

Luffy was dragged by Dashigi to the colonel's wide seat, and then Dashigi took a colonel shawl and hung it on Luffy's shoulders, patiently tied his tie, and then put on his hat, and then looked at Luffy with her hands on her hips.

"Very good, please get into work mode, Colonel Luffy!"

"I will supervise you. You are not allowed to leave the room until you finish your work!"

"Tashigi, I'm the colonel!" Luffy looked at the Den Den Mushi in front of him and his face turned red.

"Yes, you are the colonel." Tashigi closed her eyes and gestured for Luffy to look at the thick stack of documents in front of her.

"..."

"Sister Dashiqi, can you help me?"

Luffy was silent for a moment and said spinelessly.

"You bastard!" Tashigi held Shigure and tried to hit Luffy's head again.

She moved a chair next to Luffy in annoyance.

"I will assist you!"

Tashigi was also worried about the work, so she dragged Luffy to work.

It is better for the superior to be the one who takes the blame.

She didn't want to be remembered by the people in the headquarters.

After all, it was always Major General Smoker who argued with the headquarters.

The female swordsman swallowed and said, "Robin-san, please turn on the telegraph."

"Confirmed, the signal is normal." The female secretary patted the dozing Den Den Mushi, entered Luffy's naval number, and began to connect to the base and headquarters.

The connection that was broken deep under the sea was reconnected as it surfaced.

The long-lost hero flashed its signal again.

"Will...will I get scolded?" Tashigi looked at the telegram fearfully, but the Den Den Mushi was surprisingly quiet.

It seems like it makes no difference whether they contact or not.

"He doesn't seem to care about us," said Robin.

Dashigi then let out a breath.

"I was scared to death." She patted his majestic chest.

"Let's solve things one by one. First, report what happened on Fishman Island and start the simulated telegraph..."

"Okay." Robin raised his glasses on his nose.

"Colonel Luffy, please review and approve it."

Batch!
Luffy opened his squinted eyes, "Is it my turn to sign?"

"Please don't fall asleep! You are a colonel!"

The white hands pinched Luffy's face, and the female swordsman mustered up her courage and spoke viciously to her boss.

……

G3 Naval Base. "Report, Vice Admiral Garp! The young master has important news. They defeated pirates on Fishman Island!!!"

A major general excitedly knocked on the door of Karp's office.

Cap, who was drinking tea, was caught off guard and coughed violently.

"Why are you so excited? Isn't it normal for a colonel to defeat 200,000 pirates? They are all pirates from Paradise anyway."

"Yes, I'm very sorry, I'm not steady enough!"

The major general stood up and saluted.

"Will there be so many pirates on Fish-man Island? If we set up a naval base in Sabaody to intercept the pirates heading to Fish-man Island, there is a high probability that there are about 300,000 pirates. Add to that the terrible undercurrents in the deep sea, and the number of pirates who can reach Fish-man Island alive should be only about 30,000 to 50,000. It's not a big deal..." Garp muttered.

"Plus, with Neptune, the powerful Great Knight of the Sea, ruling the area, it should be difficult for human pirates to cause trouble."

"The report says that a large number of them are fish-man pirates, and our government has no wanted information on them," the major general explained.

"I see. Governing a country is also a headache, hahahaha..."

"The most important thing is that the young master defeated a supernova worth 200 million berries, a pirate nobleman from the Bourgeois Palace: White Horse Cavendish."

"Who's that?" Cap asked Bogart.

Bogart, who was wearing a brown hat, seemed to be dozing off. When he heard Cap's question, he thought for a while before speaking.

"He was a famous and talented swordsman. According to him, he had never practiced swordsmanship, and he relied solely on his amazing talent. In addition, Cavendish would become very scary at night, like a ghost..."

"Such a great record is enough to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Young master will be the youngest lieutenant admiral in history!" said the major general who reported with pride.

Karp scratched his ears and responded calmly, "I see. Is there anything else you need to report?"

"Uh uh...eh? Mr. Lieutenant General, don't you need to reward him with a promotion for this?" The Major General was incredulous at Garp's reaction.

"What! Do you dislike my age? Are you eager to let the young take over my place?"

Garp asked with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"I didn't mean that. I'm very sorry..." Facing the lieutenant general's questioning, the major general was sweating profusely.

Only then did I realize that Luffy is also a naval hero.

If he is promoted to lieutenant general, the Navy will have two lieutenant generals with heroic titles.

"Let's talk when he becomes as powerful as me!" Cap shouted.

"I am extremely sorry. I have one last thing to report. According to the telegram, Cavendish claimed that he had never committed any crime and that it was his inner personality, Kamaitachi, who had been trying to seize control of his body. After being defeated, he wanted to pay to join the navy to redeem himself..."

"Leave this matter to the three chief judges of Judicial Island. There is no need to transfer the money to the headquarters."

"Yes, I will take my leave..."

The major general, wearing a shawl of justice, walked away slowly.

"I didn't expect that there would be a power struggle between grandfather and grandson? How scary..."

"That's too hasty, Vice Admiral Garp." Bogart said while holding a cup of coffee.

"If the detailed disposal is not specified, the government will intervene."

"Let's not talk about the local pirates in Fishman Island for now. Defeating the supernova is indeed a great achievement. However, if Cavendish's bribery is successful, Colonel Luffy will need to take responsibility for the pirates..." Bogart said a few words and suddenly felt that it was reasonable not to get a promotion or a pay raise.

The Fish-Man Pirates have nothing to do with the Navy, and because no one knows about it, there is no bounty. We have to report to the Ryugu Kingdom and distribute the bounty.

Dealing with tens of thousands of human pirates is a very routine thing for the colonel, the only difference is.

Normally, a colonel might only catch so many in his own area in several years, but Luffy killed so many at once.

As a result, the value of the great battle is halved.

In addition, according to the principle of offsetting merits and demerits, there are special circumstances where the navy takes responsibility for pirates.

Luffy's long stay on Fishman Island resulted in slow progress of the mission, just like Smoker, neither promoted nor demoted, and his contribution was zero.

It is worth mentioning that Luffy did not describe Cavendish as being responsible in the telegram.

"I think Cavendish's matter involves joining the royal family, so it still needs to be reported to the marshal."

"Hahahaha... let's talk about it later. I have to show up at the headquarters." Garp walked slowly with a bag of tea.

"The New World has not been peaceful lately."

……

A lot of trivial matters need to be reported upwards constantly.

Financial expenses, military losses, sailing schedules...

Sign, approve, report...

Luffy was looking over the report with a pen in hand while inputting information into the telegraph machine.

"These snails are not mature enough. When will there be snails that can report automatically?"

Luffy once again made a sound that he didn't want to work.

"Nojigo, I want to eat chicken legs." Luffy pressed the shortcut key of the Den Den Mushi phone like a landline phone to communicate with the little cook.

"Please bring two cups of coffee." Dashiqi came over and said.

Working long hours in the office to process reports left a fine layer of sweat on her cheeks, wetting her regular clothes and making them stick to her skin.

"Coffee will be coming soon~ There's no food, Luffy. I told you a long time ago that there's no food. When will the supply transport ship come to replenish the supplies?"

"If not, we'll have to go fishing today. By the way, Shirahoshi can't eat fish, so we can only hope to catch some sea beasts... And by the way, we don't have any bait for catching sea beasts..."

Nojigao, wearing a bikini, slapped her feet on the sea surface, splashing water.

“Eh~?——”

Luffy exclaimed in shock.

"Didn't the king prepare any supplies for us? I saw he stuffed a lot of things in large and small packages."

"They are all treasures, clothes, and many items for decorating the room. There are also a few seafood snacks. These are for Shirahoshi. It is not enough to fill everyone's stomach."

"You didn't call for the transport ship, did you?"

"I……"

Come to think of it, Nojigo has said several times that there is no food.

But... but...

Luffy was speechless.

Indeed, we haven't called for fleet support yet.

"The new... new world has too many storms, so it takes a long time to get here."

Luffy refused to admit his mistake and lied under Dashigi's contemptuous gaze.

"The coffee has been delivered by the robot, please check it."

"Luffy, the expression on your Den Den Mushi looks suspicious..."

Den Den Mushi showed a scrutinizing expression.

"That's it, report complete."

Caccia.
