People in One Piece are so good-looking

The aggressive questioning took place in the morning kitchen.

"What's this?"

"Breakfast for you, Commodore, fried eggs and bacon..."

"Where's the egg?"

"...swallowed by oil."

"Where's the bacon?"

"Been eaten by the pot."

"Then what is this remaining black mess?"

"Heart-shaped, does it look like my love for you, Brigadier?"

"..."

The little rabbit who just woke up suddenly became angry.

"Are all your hearts black, huh?"

She stretched out her slender fingers as white as green onions and pinched Nuo Xia's cheek, but looking at the latter's innocent eyes, her heart softened and she was reluctant to use any force.

Is it my own illusion...

Why do I feel like this guy has become much more handsome again when I wake up?

"With your cooking skills, I don't know where you get the confidence to make breakfast for me..."

She finally shook her head slightly, retracted her right hand, took off the apron from the hook next to it and tied it on, sighing, "I'll do it. You just wait by the dining table."

The apron is white with strawberry patterns on it and lace around it.

After Taotu put it on, she looked more like a housewife. When she turned her back, the loose skirt still couldn't cover the round and straight curves. Nuo Xia's heart palpitated when she saw it, and she inexplicably remembered the battle last night. .

"Look at your size, idiot." Taotu kicked him in embarrassment, "If you are so free, go and clean the sheets."

"As you command, Brigadier."

Nuo Xia immediately turned around, walked in unison, and left the kitchen.

After arriving in the bedroom, he glanced at the messy mattress and suddenly felt dizzy.

Well, I thought it would be an easy job, but it turns out that the red blood stains on it have dried up in large areas. This is not something that can be solved by just cleaning it up. How can I justify it without cleaning it properly?

He picked up the bedding and quilt, went to the faucet and started rubbing it. As he rubbed it, he couldn't help but start to complain in his heart——

The technology tree of this world is really crooked. There are refrigerators, fans, and black technologies like combat robots.

Unfortunately, there is no washing machine, so I have to wash the three-piece thick bed set myself.

Simply outrageous.

———

When the washing was finally completed, nearly half an hour later, the kitchen table was filled with a sumptuous breakfast.

Taotu had already taken off her apron and was sitting opposite, waiting. When she saw him approaching, she stretched out her slender legs under the table, kicked out the chair opposite, and said with a smile:

"Sit down, it's time to start."

"...That's so considerate, Brigadier. But next time, I suggest it's better to pull it away with your hands."

The two sat down opposite each other and raised their knives and forks at the same time. The sunlight outside was screened by the lattice window into countless tiny spots of light, which fell on the table. Nuo Xia turned to look at the morning light, and then looked down at the sumptuous breakfast in front of him. .

"why are you laughing?"

Taotu noticed from the corner of his eye the corners of his mouth.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Nuo Xia looked up at her and said seriously, "...it's very warm, like an old couple. I like this feeling very much, Brigadier."

"You are old."

Peach Rabbit rolled his eyes at him, lowered his head and continued to eat, showing no sympathy at all.

"The omelet tastes good, and the cheese toast is also delicious... Brigadier General, why didn't I know you were such a good cook before?"

"Because you were not qualified to let me take the initiative to cook for you before."

"Is it enough to become a major general now? Brigadier, you are so arrogant and respectful, and it really makes me sad."

"...Then this is the last time, you will cook from now on."

"If you don't mind the taste, I'd be quite happy to be a cook."

There was a long silence.

"...If you win, I will do it from now on."

Is my cooking skill really that terrible? It's only a little bit weak once at most.

"There are also desserts... Hey, where did the lemon slices come from? They are quite fresh. I don't remember seeing them in the refrigerator?"

"Kuzan sent it last night. It was a big package. It was said to be a celebration gift from him. It also had ice cubes in it to keep it fresh. It was left in the entrance hall and was not brought in."

"……oh."

It's good to have delivery people.

With such professionalism, Hema Fresh could not offer a high price and hire a frozen chicken classmate back as CEO?

After eating was almost done, Nuo Xia took the initiative to get up and contracted the dishwashing business.

Peach Rabbit was too lazy to be polite, half-leaning in front of the sofa, leisurely sipping freshly squeezed lemonade.

"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you."

"What?"

Nuo Xia, who was gritting his teeth and fighting against a stubborn oil stain, asked without looking up.

"My new appointment seems to have come down. Sister He said that Marshal Kong has signed the warrant and issued it."

"What is the specific position?"

"I don't know yet. I won't know until I go to the staff office to confirm it later." Taotu put down the glass in his hand, "The detergent is in the cupboard above your head."

"You didn't tell me earlier."

The stain was finally gone. Nuo Xia breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and thought for a while, "Should I also go to Marshal Kong and ask him about his arrangements for me?"

"You have just been awarded the title. Logically speaking, if you have arrangements, it won't be that fast. The headquarters probably intends to let you rest for a while. It doesn't hurt to wait for a few days."

"That won't work. I'm going to take a long leave to go back to the East China Sea. If I take this leave for no reason and lose the chance of returning to the East China Sea, who should I cry to?"

Nuo Xia clapped his hands with his fist and set his attention, "It's decided, I will follow you to the fortress building later!"

"That's okay." Taotu didn't care about this, "When you finish your work, let's meet at the gate downstairs."

"okay."

…………

About an hour later.

Headquarters fortress building, top floor.

Gang Gukong, who had just finished processing a batch of documents, finally found time to meet Nuo Xia who was waiting on the sofa outside the door.

"Young people are just different."

Across the table, looking at the young major general in a white suit with a calm temperament, Gang Gukong couldn't help but sigh slightly:

"You are so high-spirited and energetic every day. When I look at you, I seem to see my own shadow decades ago."

The female adjutant, who was helping to sort out the documents and secretly looking at Nuo Xia from time to time, suddenly saw a black line appear on her forehead.

——Marshal, can you please have a little face?

No matter how much younger you are, your appearance and the appearance of Major General Noxia are not on the same level. How are they similar?

"I have always heard from Zefa that you are a diligent and good young man, and you have always been known as a training madman in the elite camp."

On the other end, Cyborg Kong continued to smile leisurely and said, "Now it turns out that it is indeed the case. Why, you have just finished the title award, and you already can't sit still. Do you want to find something to do?"

What a great kid.

It would be great if all the generals under his command had this kind of temperament.

"I'm indeed here to ask you about my position, Marshal."

Nuo Xia nodded slightly and changed the topic, "But if there is an emergency combat mission, I may not be able to participate..."

He briefly talked about family leave.

Kong was a little surprised, but he still nodded and agreed without any hesitation:

"I haven't been home for a year and a half. That's no problem. I'll give you forty days of leave and let you make a special trip back to the East China Sea to visit relatives. How about it? Is it enough?"

Forty days? This was much more generous than he expected. Nuo Xia felt happy and quickly stood up to salute:

"That's enough, Marshal, thank you for your consideration."

"Hahaha, forty days is not a long time. After all, even if you take a warship across the windless zone, it will take nearly a month to go back and forth."

Kong laughed, took out a document from the drawer, and threw it in front of Nuo Xia.

"Actually, I had already decided on your appointment before you were awarded the title yesterday. I originally planned to officially announce it next week. Now that you took the initiative to find it, let's see for ourselves."

"yes."

Nuo Xia took the file, opened it, and immediately raised his eyebrows slightly.

The first page is the formal appointment letter, and the position assigned to him is "Major General Deputy Base Commander" of "Xihai First Branch".

This is a little weird.

In the branch bases in Sihai, the highest officer is usually a colonel. In more important bases, having a brigadier general is the most important thing.

Moreover, the rank of brigadier general would be three levels lower in Marineland, which is about the same as a major in the headquarters.

When did a dignified major general from the headquarters, who was transferred to a base like this, only serve as deputy base commander?

"The situation in the West Sea is complex, with rampant pirates and rampant underground organizations. As the largest branch in the West Sea, the First Branch is in a special situation."

Kong saw Nuo Xia's surprise, smiled and explained:

"Not only does it have a scale of more than 3,000 soldiers, it is the only one among the branches in the world, and the fifteen surrounding branches all obey the orders of the first branch."

"So according to previous years' practice, the first branch base in Xihai will have at least one major general from the headquarters."

Kong looked at Nuo Xia and said, "This is a big responsibility. Why, do you still think this position is too condescending for you?"

"I don't feel like I'm giving in. It's just that there aren't many powerful guys in Xihai, so it's a bit boring to stay there..." Nuo Xia scratched his head and told the truth, "And why do I have an immediate boss? I always feel a little uncomfortable. "

If it weren't for his lack of qualifications, with his military exploits and strength, he would be more than enough to serve as a lieutenant general in the headquarters.

Isn't the headquarters worried that the major general who serves as the base commander will be outshone in prestige and popularity and will be under a lot of pressure all day long?

"I want a strong man like you to go to the West China Sea because I hope you can show your strength and clean up the pirate groups and underground forces that are causing trouble there. There are so many things to do, how can it be boring?"

Kong seemed to think of something and shook his head, "As for your immediate boss... don't worry, I believe that once we meet, you will no longer have any objections to the arrangements of the headquarters, but maybe you will be grateful." Where is I?"

What does this mean?

Nuo Xia was at a loss and was about to ask clearly. Kong already smiled with a mysterious look on his face and waved his hand, asking the adjutant to see the guest off.

Does it mean that the higher your status, the more you like to be the Riddler? He smiled and said goodbye to the blushing female adjutant, Nuo Xia held the appointment document and walked downstairs along the corridor, muttering in his heart.

When they arrived at the door, the noon sun was shining directly, which was quite dazzling. Nuo Xia subconsciously took two steps back and decided to wait for Taotu in the corridor behind the door.

"Um?"

He looked around boredly and suddenly found a large bouquet of roses on the lid of the trash can behind the door.

At least they are of the same quality as the ninety-nine flowers. The petals are bright red and there is still dew on them. They are quite beautiful.

Who would just throw away such a beautiful flower?

What a waste of resources.

"If you fail to pursue a girl, you can't waste it..."

Nuo Xia picked it up and looked at it carefully.

Just when it was a pity, the sound of footsteps suddenly came to my ears.

He looked up and saw Taotu, who had just come downstairs, standing at the entrance of the corridor, looking at him with surprise on his face.

"Okay, kid, you even know how to buy roses secretly."

She took the rose from Nuo Xia's hand, lowered her head and sniffed it gently, with a look of joy on her face, "It's of high quality and it's been done with care. I'm touched."

"..."

Nuo Xia's eyes twitched, but in the end he didn't choose to expose it and laughed dryly, "As long as you like it, Brigadier."

"Did you get the appointment letter?"

Taotu accepted the bouquet with satisfaction and looked at the documents in his arms.

"Um."

Nuo Xia handed it over and sighed, "The deputy base commander of the first branch of Xihai is a bit far away. I don't know when he will be transferred back to the headquarters. Brigadier General, it seems that we have to be separated for a while."

It’s really hard to let go.

"Yeah?"

Taotu did not open the document, but just threw his appointment letter over, with a sly smile on his beautiful face, "How about you take a look at mine again?"

Eh?

Nuo Xia subconsciously took it, opened the appointment letter and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly became as big as light bulbs.

Below the title, there is this line of text.

"Hereby appoints Major General Gion from the original base to be transferred to Saikai as Major General Base Commander of the 1st Saikai Branch. He will coordinate and coordinate the 12 Saikai Branches, 13 Branches and other 15 Saikai Branches. This appointment will take effect from the date of issuance of the document."

"October 28, 1501 in the Haiyuan calendar"

"Marshal Sora (Seal)"

…

this moment.

Nuo Xia finally understood what the faint smile on Cyborg Kong's face before leaving the marshal's office contained.

"I see."

He looked at the smiling Taotu and couldn't help but sigh, "Brigadier General, did you already know this?"

"certainly."

Taotu snapped her fingers and said with a smile, "Do you still remember what I told you before you went to take the desert island assessment? After knowing that you were about to graduate, Sister He went to see Marshal Kong and asked him to postpone it. I will try my best to arrange my appointment together after you graduate, and Marshal Kong also agreed."

Okay, co-author, you were acting with me at the dining table this morning?

"It's really troublesome for her. Please remember to say thank you to her for me later."

Nuo Xia looked at the little rabbit speechlessly and sighed, "Speaking of which, does this count as seeking public benefit for personal gain? Brigadier General..."

"You get a good deal and still act nice."

A faint voice came from the side. He was holding the tea cup. After glancing at him, he passed by like a ghost, "Don't think about the things that are there and not there. Just go to the West Sea and do your duty and do your part."

Why are you eavesdropping again...

Nuo Xia's face hurt, thinking of the previous Garp Warring States period... What was wrong with the legendary navy bosses of your old era? Why did they appear exactly where I was talking nonsense every time!

Damn it, what a coincidence!

"It's just time to get off work."

As if sensing Nuo Xia's gaze, He Youran's voice came from outside the door:

"It's noon. I went downstairs to the cafeteria to have a meal. I happened to meet you at the door. It's very reasonable, right?"

Nuo Xia: "..."

——————

The next day.

A small to medium-sized ordinary warship departed from the port of Marinefando and headed for the East China Sea.

There were not many sailors on board, only twenty or thirty people. After all, this ship was specially transferred by the headquarters to Nuo Xia to visit his relatives in his hometown, so there was no need to be too ostentatious.

Nuo Xia held a fishing rod in his hand and sat at the stern of the boat, facing the sparkling sea. After blowing the sea breeze for a long time, his originally groggy brain slowly woke up.

"My head still hurts a little."

He rubbed his temples and thought in his mind, "How much wine did you drink last night...I can't remember exactly. It must have weighed at least a dozen kilograms, right?"

As a self-disciplined nineteen-year-old boy, Nuo Xia basically does not drink. Occasionally when he is in a bad mood, he will have a few drinks to keep himself in a just right state of tipsiness.

There was only one reason why he almost drank to the point of breaking up this time, and that was that he went back to the elite camp yesterday and made a special trip to say goodbye to the recruits who had been with him for a year and a half, as well as the instructors.

Probably because of his spiritual leader, the cohesion among this new recruit camp was surprisingly high.

Everyone was quite reluctant to see him graduate early and leave. Some girls even cried so hard that their eyes were red and they tugged on his sleeves not to let him leave.

The instructors did the same thing, which moved Nuo Xia quite a bit. But later on, after some evil person suggested holding a farewell party, things started to go wrong.

Obviously both he and Xiliu were present, but he was the only one being fought over by instructors from all walks of life, stopping them from drinking together. When he got drunk, he could vaguely see some instructors with gnashing teeth and distorted faces.

Brandon, with his green cockscomb hair, even secretly changed his cup to an extra-large size, and then showed a smile as if his scheming was succeeding...

Damn it, these old men are clearly out to avenge themselves!

"When you have time later, you must exercise your drinking capacity."

Nuo Xia threw the fishing rod into the sea and said angrily in his heart, "When I return to the elite camp, I will kill you all one by one!"
