I Stand For Justice In The Marine

"Yeah~ I understand!"

"Don't worry, they won't hurt anyone"

"This is a necessary sacrifice for justice!"

In the marshal's office, Kong held the microphone of the phone bug, and kept talking to someone on the other side of the phone bug, and his words were persuasive and coercive.

Cross stood not far from the desk, carefully sniffing at the man in front of him.

The other party was a very strong old man with a broad chest, tan skin and white hair and beard in the shape of a 'mountain'. There was a stitched scar under his left eye, and he was wearing a white suit decorated with medals. But there was a light yellow scarf around his neck, and a justice coat with golden shoulder pads. He was as imposing as a mountain.

This person is the Marshal of the Marine——【Kong】-Kong!!!

After a long time, Kong hung up the phone, shifted his gaze to Cross in front of him, and after sizing him up, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Although [Sculpture City] Skokie, there are people running around all over the street. The sculptures and statues are a little troublesome, but you did it on Carlo Carl Island~ not bad!"

"Thank you Marshal for your compliment, everything is for justice!" Cross replied with a solemn expression.

"That's right, everything is for justice!" Kong smiled and nodded, then said with a slightly serious tone, "Given your achievements on Carlo Carl Island, you should have been promoted, but you are about to enter Study at Marine school, so this time the merits will be suppressed first, and when you graduate, I will return the merits to you intact and personally give you the title!

"Thank you Marshal!"

Cross showed joy, and quickly saluted a military salute.

To be honest, he doesn't really care about the position, what he values ​​is the degree of freedom after promotion, the higher the promotion, the less people will take care of themselves.

Otherwise, he is a recruit and has no position. He has to salute when he sees that everyone is a superior. Anyone can order him, which is more painful.

"You don't need to thank me, you got it by your ability!" Kong smiled and said, "Okay, go down and recuperate, someone will take you to the Marine school!"

"Yes!"

Cross turned his head slightly, glanced at his still painful left shoulder, then straightened his expression, saluted with his right hand, then turned and left the marshal's office.

Seeing the back of Cross leaving, Kong smiled and shook his head, and said to himself rather annoyed: "This brat is very cunning, but those resurrected sculptures and statues are really troublesome, we can't let them go in Naval as well." Let's run around in the Headquarters... well, better find a place to lock them all up!"

"Fortunately, the capacity of those six warships is not enough, otherwise this brat would not have moved all the tens of thousands of sculptures and statues in [Sculpture City] Skokie back to Marineford!"

On the other side, Cross came out of the marshal's office and came to the corridor, where he saw Gion crossed his arms in front of his chest, with the famous sword [Kinpira] on his waist, leaning lazily on the wall beside him.

Cross raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to say hello, and said, "Miss Gion, long time no see!"

Hearing the sound, Gion quickly stood up straight, and said rather complainingly: "You are so slow, is Marshal Sora nagging endlessly?"

"Uh~ Marshal Kong is busy with work, he's just been on the phone!"

Cross was taken aback by Gion's words, couldn't help but look at the closed door behind him, and then quickly explained.

"Tch, I don't care about this!" Gion waved his hands unhappily, looked at Cross's eyes, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to Marine School!"

"Huh?! Are you taking me there?"

Cross froze for a moment, and looked at Gion with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that the person Marshal Sora was talking about was actually Gion.

"That's right, I happened to be on vacation today, but I was dragged by Crane Big Sister to do coolies, and I want to show you the way, little brat!" Gion glared at Cross in displeasure.

Obviously, Tsuru Vice Admiral knew that Cross didn't know anyone in Naval Headquarters, so he sent Gion to guide him. After all, he was relatively familiar with Gion.

"Uh~"

Cross scratched his head in embarrassment, knowing that he had interrupted Gion's vacation, so he said, "Well, I'll treat you to dinner, and you tell me the place!"

"That's about the same!"

Gion proudly raised his head, somewhat satisfied with Cross's sincerity.

Afterwards, Gion, who was familiar with the road, led Cross to open the Naval Headquarters fortress to the town area behind the fortress.

As the place where the Marine family lives, the towns on Marineford Island have everything you need, ranging from ordinary houses and taverns, to villa-style houses and high-end restaurants, as well as entertainment and leisure places such as casinos and large baths. They are completely in touch with the outside world. towns are identical.

Even, because the towns on Marineford Island were fortified together with the Naval Headquarters, their safety was almost second only to Mariejois, a holy place on the Red Line, which was the location of the World Government headquarters.

...asking for flowers......

Cross and Gion walked on the town streets of Marineford Island, almost full of Marine soldiers in blue and white military uniforms, and even generals and officers in justice coats can be seen everywhere.

But it's also normal. As the location of Naval Headquarters, Marineford Island has a permanent army of about 30,000 people, dozens of warships of all levels, and many families of soldiers and officers are on the island, so it was established. Towns are naturally marine.

"Yo~ Gion, is this your brother?"

"Miss Gion, long time no see!"

"Major Gion, I heard that you are on vacation, would you like to have a drink together!"

"Hi~ Gion, we are going to have a dinner party, let's come together!"

Along the way, Cross didn't expect that Gion next to her was so popular. She was constantly greeted by people, both men and women, and there were not a few people who invited her to dinner.

what!

Looking beautiful, and the blessing of popularity halo?!

"You are so popular?"

Cross said with some surprise.

"Of course?"

Gion held his head proudly, like a little swan, and said proudly: "For interrupting my vacation, don't think that treating me to dinner is some kind of compensation, someone has to treat me!"

"Uh~"

Cross curled his lips, ignoring the smug girl, just turned his head and looked around, scanning the shops on both sides of the street [I want to find a good high-end restaurant to eat.

Suddenly, Gion stopped in his tracks, pointed to a restaurant next to him and said, "This is the one! I love the Ochazuke and Yatsuhashi Dim Sum the most!"

“Juyuan Cuisine!”

Cross looked at the small restaurant in front of him and the name on the signboard, and couldn't help saying: "Miss Gion, let's find a high-end restaurant, I won't be overwhelmed by a few meals!"

Hearing this, Gion gave Cross a blank look, and said disdainfully: You little brat, "I'm giving it to you, right? Don't think too beautifully, I know you are a nobleman, very rich!"

"Uh~"

Cross scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed suddenly, so he had to ask: "Miss Gion, is there anything special about this Juyuan Restaurant?"

"The owner of this restaurant is a retired old sea soldier. His craftsmanship is quite good, and the materials used are not cheap, so despite its small size, the consumption is not low. Crane big sister also likes to come here!" Gion explained road.

"That's right! Then I'll wait and see!" Cross's eyes brightened slightly, looking forward to the Taoist priest. .
