I, Sakaski, Won't Take a Dog Easily.

He took a deep breath, and before he could spit it out, Sakaski's figure had already enveloped him: "How many times have I told you, Polusalino, don't smoke in the dining area!" Known as Polusa Lino's strange man slowly exhaled a breath of smoke, his lips twisted into a strange mouth shape, and he sighed slowly: "It's terrible! Sakaski... You are still as strict as ever."

Sakaski didn't answer, put the dinner plate on the table and sat opposite Polusalino, pursing his lips slightly: "You are still free and loose as always."

In the future, the middle-aged man who will be known as one of the most powerful naval forces with Sakaski in the future has no temper, with a strange smile: "Then I will accept it as a compliment."

"..." Sakaski looked at his incompetent colleagues and didn't want to criticize any more, his voice was a little low: "You have such an attitude, and Teacher Zefa has such a bad relationship with you. ."

Porusalino shrugged slightly to show that he didn't care, and changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that you adopted an O'Hara orphan?"

Sakaski gently cut a piece of steak with a dining knife and divided it into several small pieces: "You have very good news. I brought it back yesterday afternoon, and you will know it at noon today."

Even during the meal, Sakaski maintained his military posture.It does not touch the back of the booth, and sits upright on the seat.In stark contrast to this is Polusalino, who is opposite him, slightly hunched over the armchair.Porusalino, who is far from the point where he needs to wear glasses decades later, tilted his head and said noncommittally: "Tell me? I'm really curious about what kind of child can make you hard-hearted guy change his mind? You would actually adopt a child? Based on my friendship with you and my knowledge of you, I really didn't expect you to be soft-hearted. Well, it must be a girl." The last sentence was full of gossip and jokes.

"Ah la la, Polsalino, you really guessed it right." Kuzan's voice went from far to near.He was carrying a lunch, while the other large hand was carrying two glasses of lemonade.He staggered to the table for the two of them and sat lazily beside Sakaski.Handing Sakaski a glass of lemonade "Why don't you just eat meat? Sakaski."

Sakaski didn't take the lemonade that was handed over, and looked at the junior brother who was talking nonsense angrily: "Give me a chill!!"

"Hey~" Kuzan had an expression that really couldn't help you, and activated his ability, a piece of ice slag floated on the lemonade instantly, and several square ice cubes swayed in the cup. This fine operation showed Kuzan's Excellent level of ability control.Sakaski took the water glass and took a sip. It tasted just right. The dense layer of ice slag on the water combined with the slightly sour taste of lemonade, which made people feel refreshed from the bottom of their hearts.

Porusalino reached out his hand very consciously, "The other cup is mine, right?"

Kuzan shook his head: "Unfortunately, this cup is mine, a la la... You were blocked from the previous perspective, and I didn't see you here, Polsalino."

Only then did Polsalino realize that the topic had been inexplicably turned off by himself, and hurriedly asked Kuzan, "So, she's really a girl!?"

Sakaski put down the water glass and took over the topic: "This girl has no parents since she was a child, plus she ate the fruit of Huahua by mistake, and was regarded as a monster by the residents of the whole island. When the slaying order was launched, Kuzan and I happened to save it. ."

"Is that so..." The man who would later be called "Kizuna" smiled a bit wretchedly: "Is there no other reason?"

Sakaski said indifferently: "Since your news is so fast, you must have known my lectures on the warship, right? Why bring this child back... This is my answer."

Porusalino rarely restrained his smile, and his tone was a little solemn: "Of course I heard it, you may not know how much influence your talk about 'what is a soldier' ​​has on the middle and bottom seamen, right? In just one night, half of the captain-level sailors of the navy headquarters were discussing it. I think it will be passed on to the generals and marshals sooner or later." He said with some admiration: "It's no wonder that Teacher Zefa has always valued you so much. , 'Being a soldier doesn't mean being a soldier'... It's really interesting to say."

"?" Kuzan, who slept after returning to his room, was a little dazed, and didn't understand the conversation between the two, he interjected, "Ala, it seems that I need to inquire later, by the way, what about the child? Didn't I come to dinner with you?"

"I put her in Jonathan's place to recuperate for a while." Sakaski lowered his head to deal with the food in front of him.

"Johnson?"

"Jonathan ah~"

Two different tones, with a hint of envy, chanted the name.The generals of the Navy headquarters all know that a bastard named Jonathan is now charging and abducting the beautiful chef on the warship under Admiral Crane.Then the cafeteria of the headquarters didn't come, and we ate small stoves at home every day.It can be said that it has drawn the hatred of the single dogs in the Navy headquarters.

"By the way, have you heard of it?" Polsalino suddenly remembered something, "The death of that fellow Gol D. Roger has brought us a lot of trouble, people have become swarms of Pirates, it can be said that the strength of our navy is very tight right now. The generals probably have to send us to guard and hunt those menacing guys everywhere, it's really scary..."

Sakaski nodded and said: "The Warring States General has cancelled the paper post-war report of the lieutenant generals who executed the Demon Slaying Order, and asked us to prepare to go to sea immediately."

Kuzan sighed lazily: "Pirates are rushing to find the great secret treasure of One Piece, and countless groups of pirates are fighting at sea, which is completely unfavorable to our sea security. There's turmoil."

Sakaski said firmly: "That's why we have to take the initiative!! Minimize the damage and kill those pirates in the cradle!!"

The three of them didn't say more, and after silently eating, they put the dishes in the washing area and walked out side by side.The warships moored and prepared in the military port became the background. The noon sun was very good, and the shadows of the three were stretched until they touched the flagpole with the word justice.

24. The enemy has [-] seconds to reach the battlefield

It has been two years since Gol D. Roger, the pirate king, was executed in Roger Town, East China Sea, and the era of the great pirates is beginning to emerge.In addition to those big pirates who were already famous before the era of the big pirates, the pirates who swarmed in the first half of the great route forced the navy and the world government to shrink their forces.

Countless pirates are fighting the big waves to wash away the sand, remove the waste and save the essence, concentrate the most potential and elite combat power on the great channel, and finally hit the new world.More and more powerful elites are competing for territory in the paradise of the new world, and several old pirate groups and rookies advancing from all over the world collide fiercely.Under this momentum, the navy was forced to transfer the combat power originally distributed in the four seas to seven routes to chase and guard it, and concentrated a large number of navy elites in the naval headquarters near the gate of the new world to compete with these powerful pirates. .

Apart from the daily patrols of the sea frontier, Sakaski is mainly responsible for the task of chasing down pirates with high bounties.Sitting in the captain's room, he carefully checked the several reward orders just passed by the headquarters. These rewards are not too high, generally around [-] million Baileys, and the highest one is only [-] million. Bailey.But Sakaski did not dislike that the target this time was too weak and did not meet the status of his own lieutenant general.

In his opinion, if the pirate industry is compared to a huge food chain, those big pirates with high bounties are the beasts standing at the top of the food chain: lions, tigers, and sea kings, then those who flock from the four seas The low bounty or the nameless pirates on the Great Route are the rats and cockroaches fleeing everywhere, killing them endlessly.

Although the beasts standing at the top of the food chain are powerful and violent, they are few in number.Ordinary people are difficult to deal with, but as long as the strength of the army and the country is concentrated, they can be trapped in a cage or even strangled.And those mice and cockroaches at the lower level of the food chain, although their strength is low, their base is huge, like weeds.These thieves who will only destroy islands and towns around the world, loot property, kill innocent people but have no idea of ​​construction and production, cause the world government a great headache but cannot effectively manage and improve.

Coupled with the huge threat posed by the big pirates closest to Radluf, the world government really has no time to take care of the endless thieves on the sea-because in the eyes of the Five Old Stars, it is most likely to collect them. The main force in the historical text that immediately shakes the world government's rule is the big pirates who are entrenched in the new world.

But in Sakaski's eyes, just like in previous lives, lions and tigers were eventually locked up in zoos for tourists to watch. Even if there are occasional wild beasts, it does not bring people a sense of fear, but a kind of "Oh, so There is also the kind of amazement and freshness of wild life".But the daily troubles of the common people are still the giant rats that steal food and bite the utensils and the cockroaches that spread bacteria and disgusting people.

He dialed the phone and connected to the major general at the helm: "According to the latest information provided by the local residents, the Black Sam Pirates should be in this direction, Ghost Spider, have you found their ship?" The deputy commander of the warship, the major general who is in charge of the affairs of the warship, raised his head and stared at the colonel on the observation deck. The colonel who was searching around with his glasses at a high place was named Erich Lindemann, who was regarded as the confidant of the ghost spider. one of the subordinates.

In order to complete the task assigned by the lieutenant general as quickly as possible, the ghost spider directly dispatched his subordinates to seize the lookout work that should have been handled by ordinary naval soldiers.The colonel was stared at by his own superiors, and while picking up the binoculars to investigate again, he bravely reported to the ghost spider: "Sorry, Major General, so far, no trace of the Black Sam Pirates has been found... Wait... wait, a suspicious ship is found at three o'clock!!" Ghost Spider was secretly delighted, frowning and scolding: "Quickly confirm the identity of the other party!"

"The other party's flag is a skull with a black captain's hat slanted, sir, confirm it, it's the Black Sam Pirates!!!"

The ghost spider bowed his head and reported loudly to the waiting phone bug: "Lieutenant General Sakaski, I found the enemy's trace, and asked for the next step!!"

"Very good, ghost spider. Announce all the preparations for battle. Let the artillery measure the distance and prepare for the bombardment!" Sakaski got up from his chair, hung up the phone and walked out of the captain's room.Ferocious beasts are rare, but great rats are common. He Sakaski is a warrior who can fight against "ligers" and is also an expert at eradicating "cockroaches and rats".

On the other side, Sam Roberts, who is only 28 years old and has a pirate ship with nearly 200 people, is already a well-known pirate upstart in the North Sea. Started in the North Sea.Later, relying on the converted sailboat that was originally a slave ship, he escaped the interception of the navy several times with excellent speed.The Vita, with 28 cannons, is ideally able to travel up to 13 knots.

Sam, who had looted a town not long ago to maintain his supplies, was dozing off in the captain's room. He was irritated by his subordinates eagerly awakening him, but the huge naval warship he observed through the telescope gave him the thought of "let's rob him." The idea of ​​"one vote for the opposite warship" poured cold water on it.The navy in the North Sea is not so good and huge. He was a little surprised by the dense artillery twice as many as his own and the thick steel plate wrapped around the hull.

When I came to the great route, I also saw many pirates and navy ships, and it was rare to have such sophisticated equipment. "Is this a warship of the Navy Headquarters??" Sam secretly guessed that, combined with the news of the Navy's demon slaughter order to destroy O'Hara reported in the newspaper a few days ago, Sam Roberts did not want a warship with such firepower to fight recklessly. .The young pirate captain was amazed but not panicked. His Vita was known for its speed, and it was not difficult to shake off this huge and bulky warship not far away at full speed.He loudly commanded his subordinates to tighten the sails and begin to prepare to escape with the favorable wind direction.

"Boom", "Boom", and "Boom" dozens of water jets shot up into the sky, and the test fire of the opposing naval warship apparently did not land on the Vita, but the blasted water jets around the hull reminded him of the power of the artillery on the opposite side. "Hurry up, get moving." Sam put down the telescope, turned his head and yelled at the crew to hurry up.

"Captain!!! Look!" the lookout shouted.Then more pirates stared blankly at the direction of the enemy ship, "What is that?"

Sam was a little annoyed by these fussing subordinates, but when he looked up, he saw that in addition to the round cannonballs flying towards this side, there was also a crimson figure stepping on the air, rushing towards this side at a high speed in the thunder of the air being torn apart.

Author's message:
