One Piece's Love System

"You're just old."

Taotu rolled his eyes at him, lowered his head and continued to eat without any sympathy.

"The omelet tastes good, and the cheese baked toast is also delicious... Commodore, why didn't you know that you are 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 general, you are so arrogant and respectful, and it really makes me sad."

"...Then this is the last time, you cook in the future."

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

long silence.

"...You win, and I will come again in the future."

Is my own culinary skills really that terrifying?

"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?"

"Last night, Kuzan sent it. It was a big bag. It was said to be his celebration gift. There were ice cubes in it to keep it fresh. It was thrown in the entrance and was not brought in."

"……Oh."

It's good to have a takeaway.

With this professional quality, Hema Fresh can’t come up with a high price, and hire the frozen chicken classmate back to be the CEO?

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

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

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

"what?"

Nuo Xia, who was gnashing her teeth and fighting against a stubborn oil stain, asked without raising her head.

"It seems that my new appointment has come down. Sister He said that Marshal Kong has signed and issued the warrant."

"What is the specific position?"

"I don't know for the time being. I will go to the staff office to confirm later. I will know." Taotu put down the glass in his hand, "The detergent is in the cabinet above your head."

"You didn't say it earlier."

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

"You have just finished conferring the title, and it is reasonable to say that the arrangements are not so fast. The headquarters probably intends to let you rest for a while, and it doesn't hurt to wait a few days."

"That can't be done. I want to take a long vacation to go back to the East China Sea. If I take this vacation for no reason and lose the chance to go back to the East China Sea, who should I cry to?"

Nuo Xia clapped her fists and fixed her attention, "It's decided, I'll go to the fortress with you later!"

"That's fine." Taotu didn't care about that, "We'll meet at the gate downstairs when the time is over."

"okay."

…………

About an hour later.

Headquarters Fortress Building, top floor.

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

"Young people are different."

Across the table, looking at the young major general in a white suit with a calm demeanor, Gang Gukong couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional:

"Every day is so high-spirited and radiant. Looking at you, the old man seems to see the shadow of himself decades ago."

The female adjutant, who was originally helping to sort out the documents, secretly glanced at Nuo Xia's female adjutant from time to time, and suddenly a black line appeared on her forehead.

——Marshal, can you show some face?

No matter how young you are, you and Major General Nuo Xia are not on the same level of appearance, okay? How are you similar?

"Before I heard Zefa say that you are a hardworking and good seedling, and you have always been called a training madman in the elite camp."

On the other end, Steel Gu Kong continued to smile leisurely, "Now that I see it, it is indeed the case. Why, I just finished conferring the title, and I can't be idle anymore. Are you looking for something to do?"

What a good boy.

How wonderful it would be if all the generals under him had this kind of temperament.

"I did come to ask you about my position, Marshal."

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

He roughly talked about the family leave.

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

"I haven't been home for a year and a half. That's no problem. The old man will give you a [-]-day holiday and let you go back to Donghai to visit relatives. How about it? Is it enough?"

Forty days?This was much more generous than he had expected. Nuo Xia was overjoyed, and quickly got up to salute:

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

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

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

"Actually, I had already decided on your appointment before the awarding of the title yesterday. I originally planned to make an official announcement next week. Now that you have come here on your own initiative, let's see for yourself."

"Yes."

Nuo Xia took the file, opened it, and raised her brows slightly.

The first page is the official letter of appointment, and the position assigned to him is "Major General Deputy Base Chief".

This is a bit weird.

In the branch bases of the four seas, the highest officer is usually a colonel, and in the more important bases, it is possible to have a brigadier general.

Moreover, the rank of brigadier general would have to be lowered by three ranks in Marin Fando, which is about equal to the major of the headquarters.

When did the dignified major general of the headquarters, who was sent down to this kind of base, be able to serve only as the deputy base chief?

"The situation in the West Sea is complicated, pirates are rampant, and underground organizations are rampant. The first branch is the largest branch in the West Sea, and the situation is quite special."

Kong saw Nuo Xia's astonishment, and explained with a smile:

"Not only does it have a scale of more than [-] soldiers, it is the only one among the branches in the four seas, and the fifteen branches around it must obey the orders of the first branch."

"So according to the usual practice in previous years, there will always be at least one major general of the headquarters in the base of the first branch of Xihai."

Kong looked at Nuo Xia and said, "This burden is not small, why, do you still think this position has subdued you?"

"I don't feel condescending, it's just that Xihai is not a very good guy, 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, it would be more than enough to serve as the lieutenant general of the headquarters.

Isn't the headquarters worried that the prestige and popularity of the major general who is the head of the base will be compared, and the pressure will be great all day long?

"Letting a strong man like you go to the West Sea, I hope you can show your strength and clean up the pirates and underground forces that are wreaking havoc there. There are so many things, 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 after we meet, you won't have any objections to the arrangement of the headquarters, and maybe you will thank him What about the old man?"

What does this mean?

Nuo Xia was puzzled, and was about to ask clearly, Kong already waved his hand with a mysterious smile on his face, and asked the adjutant to see the guest out.

Could it be that the higher the status, the more he likes to be a riddler? With a smile, he bid farewell to the blushing female adjutant. Nuo Xia carried the appointment document and went downstairs along the corridor, muttering in her heart.

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

"Ok?"

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

There are at least 99 of this grade. The petals are bright red and there is still dew on them, which is quite beautiful.

Who lost such a beautiful flower?

Simply outrageous.

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

Nuo Xia picked it up, turned around and looked at it carefully.

It was a pity that suddenly footsteps came from 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.

"It's ok, boy, I know I went to buy roses secretly."

She took the rose from Nuo Xia's hand, lowered her head and sniffed it lightly, showing a happy expression, "The appearance is excellent, you put your heart into it, I'm touched."

"..."

The corners of Nuo Xia's eyes twitched, but in the end she didn't choose to expose it, so she gave a dry smile, "It's fine if you like it, Brigadier General."

"Have you got the letter of appointment?"

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

"Ah."

Nuo Xia handed it over and sighed, "The deputy base chief of the first branch of Xihai is a bit far away, and 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 long time."

It's really embarrassing.

"is it?"

Taotu didn't open the file, but just threw his appointment letter over, with a sly smile on his pretty face, "Why don't you take a look at mine again?"

Eh?

Nuo Xia subconsciously took it over, opened the appointment letter and looked at it, her eyes immediately became the size of a light bulb.

Below the title, there is such a line of text.

……

this moment.
