Chapter 223 Official document of the headquarters, unexpected joy
Whether the West Sea is cold or not, Nuo Xia doesn't know.
But the mountain hot springs in early winter must be very warm and comfortable.
At night in Hot Spring Mountain, the trees are lush and green, and orange lights are dimly lit.
Probably because the temperature dropped sharply at night and it started to snow lightly, there were not many people on the mountain. Apart from a few tourists, there were only a group of navy who came specially to soak in the hot springs.
The first branch base is less than ten kilometers away from here, and you can just walk there, which is quite convenient.
"Hurry up, hurry up..."
On the hot spring mountain, Peach Rabbit walked at the front, jumping up and down like a real little rabbit, and waving to the people behind the stone steps from time to time.
She had wanted to come here to soak in the hot springs for a long time, but unfortunately she was too busy with business and Nuo Xia was not in Xihai, so it was not interesting to come alone.
Today is finally my long-cherished wish.
"Coming."
Nuo Xia followed closely behind. Seeing Peach Rabbit's urgency, she quickly quickened her pace, took Little Rabbit's right arm, and strode into the antique hot spring gate together.
And dozens of meters behind.
Dingchun walked up the steps with graceful cat steps, while the tea dolphin on the side was carrying a bunch of things on a load, grunting and chasing after him——
The load included everything from sleds and skateboards to a change of clothes, which probably weighed several hundred kilograms and was stacked several meters high.
Why should I follow you?
Looking at the two figures walking hand in hand into the courtyard of the bathhouse in the distance, Cha Dou kept asking himself this question over and over in his heart.
Are you out of your mind? Or are you a little embarrassed to refuse Nuo Xia Tao Tu's warm invitation?
It doesn't seem to be the case.
Tea Dolphin sighed sadly. He would leave the West Sea early tomorrow morning and return to Malinfando. The next time he wanted to see Peach Rabbit, he didn't know it would be in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
so.
Perhaps the reason why I agreed to come is to cherish this last little time with Taotu.
He had long since extinguished the desire to pursue a confession, but he had to admit that having the opportunity to soak in the hot springs with Mootu in an open-air bath under the night——
Even if you are just looking at it from afar, it is quite attractive to me...
"What a humble dream."
There was a faint voice coming from behind, and Cha Dou turned his head to see that it was Peach Rabbit's personal adjutant, Martha with long fiery red hair, looking at him with pity.
This hateful woman, if she hadn't blocked him from the door many times before, he would have succeeded in confessing his love long ago. Where would there be a chance for a latecomer like Nuo Xia?
Tea Pig's teeth were itching with anger, "I didn't say anything, Colonel Martha, don't speculate on other people's dreams, especially your boss's dreams, you bastard!"
"I really don't know what your dream is."
Martha was noncommittal, shrugged and moved beyond his height, while pointing to the right, "But I'm sure your dream is not as big as that thing over there."
thing?
The tea dolphin turned around again, his face suddenly darkened, and he saw a black lump on the soil on the right side of the stone steps that looked like ice cream. It was steaming and very conspicuous.
Woof!
Dingchun wagged his tail comfortably.

In the bathhouse.
Nuo Xia and Mootu, who arrived first, had already entered the dressing room under the warm welcome of the hot spring mistress. The layout inside was similar to the outside, and it was also antique.
There are screens, bamboo plants, and elegant black and white paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls.
"Are you from Wano Country?"
Peach Rabbit liked this environment so much that she couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's the land of flowers." The hostess smiled gently, "Although it's a little remote, it's also in the West Sea."
Is the Kingdom of Flowers located in the West Sea?
Nuo Xia was a little surprised. He took a closer look at the hostess's outfit. Compared to the Japanese-style yukata, it indeed had more of the lingering charm of the Han and Tang Dynasties in her previous life.
Even with a glimpse of a leopard, one does not know what the humanistic features of the Flower Country, which is said to be based on China, are like.
He became curious and decided that if he had time in the future, he must go to the Flower Country to have a look.
Women are very magical creatures. They put on makeup and dress slower than anyone else before going out, and their boyfriends can wait downstairs for two hours.
But when the warm bath water was placed in front of me, I changed my clothes faster than anyone else.
As soon as Nuo Xia put on his pants, he was pulled over by Peach Rabbit, who had been waiting impatiently, and ran along the cobblestone path to the bathing beach, almost throwing off his clogs.
The single bathhouse is not large, and is surrounded by tall bamboo trees. The environment becomes quieter while also taking into account privacy.
The water of the natural hot spring should be white and turbid, but what you see in front of you is slightly purple-red, with flower petals floating on the water.
After a gentle sniff, there is a faint violet fragrance floating in the hot air.
Taotu liked this better. She let go of Nuo Xia's hand and wandered around the hot spring. She sat down on a slightly sunken place where the stone was most suitable for leaning against.
The slender and powerful legs, the concave and convex waist, and the proud snow-capped mountains all sink into the hot spring water.
The water mist filled the air, and I don't know if it was too hot. The white bath towel wrapped around the round and delicate body, at some point, quietly spread out and sank to the bottom of the water...
Raising his head slightly and looking at Nuo Xia who was already in a daze, the little rabbit smiled slyly and patted the water:
"Here, come in."
When your fingertips fall on the surface of the hot spring, faint ripples appear.
Swish.
The sound of breaking wind sounded, and the figure disappeared instantly.
This day.
Nuo Xia's "shaving" reached its peak and finally entered the realm of land gods.
——————-
In the locker room.
"call……"
After finally placing her luggage, Cha Dou hurriedly changed into her bathrobe. As soon as she opened the curtain and was about to go in, she was stopped by the smiling hostess of the bathhouse.
"What does it mean that only two people can enter a bathhouse?"
Cha Dou could not accept what the hostess said, "I saw your billboard outside! It clearly said that there is a large open-air bath of more than 500 square meters, which can accommodate hundreds of people bathing together at the same time..."
"Ah, that's what happened."
The hostess bowed slightly and apologized, "It's just that there were too few guests today, so the large baths are not open, but there are still more than a dozen small baths available. Your two friends just chose this one.
There is a small bathhouse that only allows two people to enter..."
Is there such a thing?
The large bathhouse would not be open if there were no customers... Such a stingy business would lead to closure sooner or later. Cha Dou felt angry and aggrieved for a while, but suddenly he saw Martha who had changed into a bathrobe and walked past with a calm expression.
Eh?
Tea Dolphin has some expectations in his heart, and his dream of bathing in hot springs with Peach Rabbit has been shattered, but Martha is not a bad girl.
Even if it is an iceberg beauty that is untouchable and difficult to talk to, staying together can still be eye-catching, which is much better than being alone...
"It's a beautiful thought."
After entering, on the cobblestone path, Martha refused politely, "I'm used to being alone, please don't follow me in."
"Then I can only be alone?"
The tea dolphin looked at her pitifully, praying for sympathy. Martha gave him a strange look, "Who said you can only go out alone, there is someone to accompany you."
What does this mean?
The tea dolphin was confused and suddenly felt heat coming from the top of his head. When he raised his head subconsciously, at the last moment he saw the face of a fat white dog that was biting happily.
Then it was like I fell into a moist ocean, and everything in front of me turned into darkness...
Woof!
After dragging the greasy uncle to the edge of the bathtub and kicking him into the hot spring, Dingchun jumped in and wagged his tail comfortably.
——————
"Um……"
When Nuo Xia opened her eyes in a daze, she smelled the fragrance like blooming jasmine flowers, which penetrated her nose and penetrated into her heart.
His soul, which was a little tired due to excessive passion, became warm and plump again.
The sunshine outside the window was a little dazzling, and the little rabbit lay lazily in his arms before he woke up, sleeping soundly.
He couldn't help but gently stretched out his hand, and his fingertips gently traced the slender white legs and the slender waist. The excellent touch made people linger as always.
After a long time, Nuo Xia withdrew her hand, leaned her pillow against her back, and looked up at the top of her head. Her line of sight was surprisingly short, and the ceiling seemed to be farther away.
He glanced at the bottom of the bed, and sure enough, not a single foot of the bed survived, which was expected.
after all.
Just last night, he became the real "One Piece".
I remember having a great night in the snow mountain hot springs last night, returning to the base late at night, and then continuing to face each other in the bedroom, fighting each other solo until dawn...
Nuo Xia couldn't help but rubbed his head.
This time is a special situation that has not been seen for more than half a year.
From now on, I still have to try to be more restrained.
After getting up and briefly washing up, Nuo Xia looked at the clock and saw that it was already eleven o'clock noon.
There is definitely no need to prepare breakfast. Anyway, no matter how much effort and effort he makes, breakfast is still worthy of being eaten by Dingchun.
Go out for a walk with the dog, wake up the little rabbit when you come back, and go to the restaurant to have lunch together.
After deciding on this idea, Nuo Xia went out and greeted Dingchun who was taking a nap in the courtyard. The latter immediately followed closely, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail in excitement.
That's the time.
Only then did Nuo Xia finally have some free time, and really began to look at his alien pet, which was always left to be raised, and separated for a long time each time, resulting in no sense of existence.
Compared with the beginning of the year, Dingchun Moe is still cute at this time, but its size has become much larger, with a height of six to seven meters and a body length of nearly ten meters.
A poop weighs more than ten kilograms, so Nuo Xia, who had not been a poop scooper for a long time, almost died from being smoked while picking up poop.
"It's already many times bigger than the one from Wanshiwuwu, but it's just that it hasn't reached adulthood yet?"
He couldn't help but slap Dingchun on the head, "How big will you be when you are really grown up? What kind of house can accommodate you?"
Predictable.
In the future, Admiral Nosha, the most powerful young man in the navy and the top combat power, will live in a house no bigger than his own dog's kennel.
It will be on the news and become a joke.
However, with the increase in body size, Dingchun's strength has also improved rapidly, and has reached a somewhat scary state:
[Name: Dingchun]
[Variety: Kogami]
【Strength: 20】
[Agility: 17]
[Endurance: 20]
[Intelligence: 8]
【Charm:10】
[Skills: Armed Color Haki (Elementary), Wisdom Color Haki (Elementary), Six-Style Shave (Intermediate), Six-Style Moon Step (Advanced), Speedy Crash (Racial Talent), Claw Slam (Racial Talent),
Excretion Shock (Racial Talent)]
…………
"With these basic attributes, can you compare with the Major General of our headquarters?"
After opening the attribute bar, Nuo Xia looked a little bit pained, "What's going on with the Armed Color and the Wisdom Color? Last time I learned some Six Styles from Zhizi at the headquarters, it's okay. Can Haki be self-taught?
?”
Gan, where does this put the face of a master who has never taught him before?
In the first half of the Grand Line, what do the great pirates who have bounties of over 100 million but still know nothing about Haki think?
How can a sand crocodile doubt life?
"This growth potential..."
Nuo Xia rubbed Dingchun's furry head vigorously and sighed, "It's too scary. It seems that the sea-suppressing beast of the Navy Headquarters in the future must be you..."
Inexplicably, another strange picture appeared in Nuo Xia's mind——
Eighteen years later, during the war at the top, under the execution platform, the person sitting in the middle of the three generals was not Romanov Nosha, but Dingchun, who was wearing an extra-large navy hat and had his legs crossed...
It’s really too careless!
He hurriedly put this image out of his mind, took Dingchun with him, and after sneaking around the outside of the naval base twice, Nuo Xia returned home.
Pushing open the bedroom, I unexpectedly discovered that Taotu was not in the bed, and seemed to have woken up and left long ago.
Scratching his head, he returned to the restaurant and found a note on the table:
"An official document has arrived from headquarters. I'll wait for you in the office."
"It just happens that the official document comes at this time..."
Nuo Xia frowned, a little unhappy.
Originally, today and tomorrow were the days when Peach and Rabbit took turns to take vacations. He had already planned a sweet and tender time alone with Little Rabbit.
I even thought about a birthday gift, but in the end, it was completely ruined by an official letter from the headquarters.
"I hope it's not an important matter and can be resolved as soon as possible."
After all, it was official business that mattered, so Nuo Xia quickly changed his clothes, put on a white cloak of justice, and stepped into the fortress building under the admiring and awe-stricken gazes of the sailors, and went straight to the top-floor office.
Opening the door, Taotu was sitting on an office chair, dazedly holding an official document in his hand.
"What's wrong with this?"
Seeing that Taotu looked a little off, Nuo Xia's heart sank. He quickly closed the door and sat down opposite, "Did something big happen at the headquarters?"
"...big event?"
Only then did Taotu come back to his senses, biting his lower lip, and looked up at him strangely, "Maybe, at least for you, it is indeed a huge event..."
What does this mean?
Why does Little Rabbit feel a bit thorny in his words, as if he is jealous...
"See for yourself."
Taotu was too lazy to talk nonsense and just threw the official document over.
Nuo Xia caught it quickly.
After opening it, I took a closer look and was also stunned.
On the title, there is a line of big characters in black and bold:
"The final decision on the promotion of Romanov Nosha to Lieutenant General of the headquarters"
