Rogge Town, Naval Base Director's Office, Smoker put down the phone bug in his hand with a satisfied look on his face.
He looked at the several reward orders placed on the table in front of him, and casually crumpled Andulu's reward order into a ball of paper and threw it into the trash can nearby.
"Well done."
Smoker took two deep puffs of his cigar, then pondered for a while before returning to his desk again.
Du~du
The phone rang twice, and then a lazy voice came from the other end.
"Huh? Smoker, why did you remember to call me? I heard that you were transferred to Donghai. Do you want to return to the headquarters?"
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised by Smoker's call, but Smoker calmly put out the cigar he was holding just now.
"General, I have something to report to you."
The person Smoker called was none other than Kuzan, [Ao Pheasant], one of the current three generals of the Navy Headquarters!
Although there is a big gap in military ranks between him and Kuzan, they can be considered good friends.
It is precisely because of this that when the group of people at the headquarters chose to decentralize Smoker, they only dared to let him come to the East China Sea to be the boss instead of sending him to a remote trench in a remote country.
"Well, tell me."
Kuzan, who was far away at the Navy Headquarters, yawned. He looked at the dim sky outside the window and shook his head involuntarily.
Smoker spoke very quickly and told Kuzan about William's story. He focused on the fact that he taught William the Six Styles and that William's talent made him ashamed.
"Genius."
Kuzan became interested. To be honest, he himself is a monster, so he doesn’t have deep feelings about the geniuses evaluated by others.
However, as he knew Smog very well, he knew that it was impossible to exaggerate Smog's character.
So William is definitely made from real materials.
"In less than a week, I learned five moves and six moves. At the age of fifteen, I can already destroy those with animal devil fruit abilities on my own, which is pretty good."
Kuzan yawned again. He thought back to the time when he first came into contact with the six postures. He practiced just shaving the iron block for a day and a half. This was already the fastest record in this department. Now he didn't expect it.
A little guy from the Sihai branch actually broke his record.
"I'm going to report William's military exploits to the headquarters, but you also know the character of the people in the headquarters, and I'm afraid they will block William's military exploits."
Smoker hesitated and revealed the real purpose of his call this time. He wanted Kuzan to stand up for William.
With the support of the general, those in the headquarters would never dare to take advantage of William's military merit.
Kuzan rubbed his chin. He didn't mind helping the geniuses in the navy, and this was not considered using power for personal gain.
"I will pay attention. If anyone asks you, just say that I asked you to pass on William's six movements, so that no one will trouble you. But you, Smoker, stayed in the East China Sea and your body is not rusty.
Right."
Kuzan's words made Smog smile bitterly. How could this be exactly the same as what Tina said?
"General, please rest assured that I have always been strict with myself."
This sentence is not a lie. Smoker is a person with strong self-esteem. If he had a group of losers under his command, he might really fall.
However, now that there is another William, he does not want his subordinates to be stronger than him, so where should he put his face?
Therefore, in recent times, his practice has been harder than when he was at the headquarters.
Kuzan nodded, and then the two chatted for a few words before cutting off communication.
After ending the call, Smoker let out a long breath. Now he no longer had to worry about the guy at the headquarters disgusting William.
If General Kuzan comes forward, those at the headquarters will definitely review William's military merits as soon as possible. Perhaps William has received notice of his appointment before he returns to the headquarters.
At the same time, just as Smoker contacted General Kuzan, William was experimenting with his new tricks.
He stood on the deck of the warship, looking at the golden flames rising from his fists, and an idea emerged in his mind.
Shaoshao fruit, you are so miserable!
"Lieutenant William, can I ask for a leave of absence from you?"
Dasqi walked over, her expression a little twitchy, as if she felt deeply uneasy when she said these words.
William glanced at Dusqi, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Do you have anything to do? Speaking of which, it seems like you haven't rested for a long time. I'll give you two days off when I get back to Rogge Town."
Dasqi hasn't had a break since he joined the navy. Speaking of which, he hasn't enjoyed a leisurely vacation in a long time.
However, although there is no holiday, William usually does not exercise but fights. He does not interfere at all in some affairs within the navy, so he does not feel like he is at work.
"No."
Dasqi was a little anxious. She organized her words before speaking out her thoughts, "I just asked about it. Seymour Shiki Village is less than a hundred nautical miles away from us. I want to visit Isshin."
Dojo."
Dasqi took out the basic swordsmanship textbook she carried with her from her arms. When she knew that Yishin Dojo was less than a hundred nautical miles away from her, her thoughts became vivid.
If she could get the guidance of a swordsman master, her swordsmanship would have improved a lot.
Being with William, Dasqi is actually a bit stressed. After all, her superior's talent is so outstanding. She could obviously keep up with the training at the beginning, but now she can only serve William tea and water.
, basically has no effect.
"Isshin Dojo?"
William was slightly stunned. He didn't pay attention to the islands and villages along the way, and he was a little surprised at first glance.
However, William showed interest in the next moment.
Why don’t you visit Shigetsuki Koushiro? He also has this idea!
"Dadi."
After calling Dadi, William expressed his idea of going to Seymour Zhiji Village to visit the Yixin Gym. Dadi had no objection to this. He only needed Smoker's consent.
As a result, William called Smoker overnight. Smoker, who was just about to take a rest, fell into deep thought after listening to William's words.
"Since we are going to visit, let's go with the goodwill of our Rogge Town Naval Base. Being able to make friends with a powerful swordsman will be of great help to us."
