He and the flying squirrel looked at each other and silently chose to shut up and not ask any more questions.
really……
I was still too naive. With the temper of the lieutenant general, I let that guy go so "easily" - how could it be possible?
Although I don't know what means the Lieutenant General will use to solve the problem in the future, this kind of thing is no longer important.
He knows.
I just need to mourn the fate of Rey...
…
When the sky is slightly bright.
The Thunder Eagle officially set off, leaving Frevans and embarking on the journey back to its headquarters.
Originally, Nuo Xia's plan was to secretly take his subordinates away that night while the cured people in the square had not yet recovered.
However, Rey's appearance caused too much noise and wasted a lot of time. As a result, he was unable to escape the attention of the people when he left the city.
Before setting sail.
The people who came to see him off had occupied the entire beach early, and there were countless thank-you gifts. Even though the navy soldiers in charge of guarding the ship had tried their best to refuse, they still had to accept the kindness.
part of it.
It was naturally impossible to ask for valuable property and jewelry, so the thank-you gifts I accepted were basically specialties that represented my heart, such as thank-you letters from the children, bouquets from the girls, and three gifts from a farmer.
Tons of oranges.
After the ship set sail, Nuo Xia was horrified to notice the pile of things in the warehouse. He then remembered that the citrus planting industry in White Town was also quite developed, and he almost suffered a cardiac arrest on the spot.
Gan...
Just thinking about it makes my teeth sore and has a psychological shadow.
But... there are more than a thousand officers and soldiers on board the Thunder Eagle. With so many people sharing it, everyone doesn’t need to eat much, right?
He stared at the piles of oranges and felt worried for a while, but in the end he could only comfort himself like this.
————-
Holy Land, Marie Joa.
It was early in the morning, and in the conference hall on the top floor, three of the five old stars were sitting around the sofa, looking at the documents in hand, with ugly expressions.
The silent atmosphere lasted for a while.
"All the information compiled by the CP department is here. Have you almost finished reading it?"
The old man wearing a kimono and holding the demon sword Kitetsu said with a cold face, breaking the silence, "I didn't expect that all the people in Frevans were actually saved by Hakuryuichi... What do you think?"
"snort!"
The Five Old Stars, wearing a flat hat and a fluffy white beard, slammed the table with a gloomy expression, "This little brat Bai Long, does he know what he is doing! He stole the show, but he brought down the entire World Government.
, all roasted on the fire!"
"Now that the matter is fermenting, many newspaper reporters have already rushed over. If they really pass by, it will be reported in the newspapers and spread around the world..."
He didn't say any more, but everyone present knew the seriousness of this matter.
By that time, not only will the Roolan royal family be disgraced, but the credibility and prestige of the World Government will also plummet.
"Let's suppress public opinion with all our strength first."
The tall old man with a beard as long as a waterfall gently tapped the finger bones of his right hand on the table, frowned and said, "But there are more than 80,000 survivors, it is difficult to completely cover it..."
"Demon-slaying order?"
The old man in kimono, holding the demon sword Kitetsu in his arms, said expressionlessly.
"Bai Long already intervened, it's too late."
The tall old man with a long beard shook his head, "Suppressing public opinion as much as possible is the only way at present. If that doesn't work, we will find a few unimportant guys from the CP department to take the blame and separate the responsibility from the World Government."
"I agree."
Wulaoxing, who was wearing a flat hat and a fluffy white beard, nodded slightly, but his face was still ugly, "If the White Town is like this, how will Bailong deal with it?"
"White Dragon..."
The tall old man with a beard as long as a waterfall frowned, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Originally, they had always been quite optimistic about this young man named Nuo Xia. Not only had they almost appointed him as the next generation commander of the future navy, but they had also taken the initiative to express their goodwill many times.
For example, sending an envoy to represent them to attend that kid's wedding was unprecedented and gave them a lot of face.
The reason for doing this.
They all agreed that the White Dragon Navy had trained the best dog over the years. This dog could not only become the leader of the navy, but also had great hope of ending this chaotic era of great pirates.
But now it seems.
This dog is fierce when hunting, but it has too many ideas of its own and is really not very obedient.
Although, there were signs of it a long time ago, especially when he was a recruit, Bailong killed William regardless of dissuasion, causing the navy's top brass to collectively resign and force the palace.
As a result, the top leaders of the World Government were caught in a dilemma between the royal family of Alabasta and the Navy Headquarters, and were quite passive. Many bureaucrats still complain about this.
But in the eyes of Wulaoxing, that is not worth mentioning.
At most, it was just the passion of the young man. William's death was of no consequence. In addition, Nuo Xia grew up and made many military exploits, so this bad deed was no longer concealed.
Moreover, in their opinion, as Nuo Xia gets older, he has obviously become more stable and mature, and can understand the importance of many things.
For example, two years ago, Doflamingo, who was a former Celestial Dragon, followed orders and did not kill him, which was extremely rare.
But now it seems...
After all, this guy is still the same boy as before, nothing has changed.
Disobedient dog.
No matter how excellent he is, he is not a good dog.
"It must be punished."
The tall Five Old Stars with long beards like waterfalls snorted coldly, "But now we have to rely on him to pacify the new world, so we can't push him too hard just yet. We have to save him some face. That's good. Go ahead and cancel his visit."
All the commendations and rewards that were supposed to be received, and the celebration ceremonies that were originally arranged, were all withdrawn and treated indifferently."
The so-called "reward" naturally refers to Nuo Xia's defeat of Big Mom. Not long ago, they were still happy and excited about this battle. While they were happy, they also allocated extremely high-level rewards.
"I agree."
Kimono Five Old Star pushed up his glasses and said calmly:
"It's time to give this kid a beating. Otherwise, if he continues to grow like this, when he really annihilates those sea emperors and ends this era of great pirates, he will really not know what his identity is..."
"That won't happen one day."
Wulaoxing, who was wearing a flat hat, put down his teacup and said calmly.
"yes……"
The Kimono Five Old Star lenses were shining brightly, and he said quietly to himself, "That day will never come to pass."
When the game in the forest is exhausted, what are the useless dogs left for if they are not cooked and eaten?
Tuk Tuk.
In the silence, a gentle knock on the door suddenly sounded.
A cautious voice came from outside the door:
"Sir Wulaoxing, Deputy Commander Rey of CP-0 has returned to the Holy Land and is waiting outside the hall. He said that he has important information gathered and needs to be reported in person."
Rey?
The five old stars looked at each other, and the old man in kimono couldn't help but sneer:
"What a disgraceful person. I heard that he went to find Bailong to trouble him without knowing what was going on, but he was tortured terribly... Now that he comes back, he wants to cry and complain to his face, right?"
"The outcome has been decided and will not be changed because of him."
The old man with a beard as long as a waterfall said calmly, "But... let him come in. He is idle, so he can just listen to the story. And the obedient dog will not chill their hearts."
The other five old stars had a casual attitude towards this and were non-committal.
After a while.
The door was slowly pushed open, and a miserable-looking Rey, wrapped in bandages and plaster, limped in...
…………
The great route.
In the drizzle of light rain, the Thunderhawk was heading towards Malinfando at full speed.
"I'll probably be able to arrive at the headquarters tomorrow."
At the dining table, the flying squirrel exclaimed while cutting the oranges and frying the broccoli on the plate:
"I originally carried out this escort mission and thought I could come back before the New Year. I didn't expect it to take so long. It's almost February in the blink of an eye. Lieutenant General, you haven't seen your family for several months, right?"
"Well, so I'm quite looking forward to it now."
Nuo Xia, who was opposite, drank the warm borscht and said with a smile, while the flying squirrel turned his head again, frowning and looking at the ghost spider on the table next to him:
"Why are you still watching? Let's eat. The food is almost cold."
"Um……"
Ghost Spider replied perfunctorily, dropped the newspaper in his hand, and said with a bored look, "Hey, in the past half month, I have bought several newspapers, and I haven't seen a single report on the white town. World Politics...
…Those guys are really good at suppressing public opinion.”
"This is also expected."
The flying squirrel sighed, glanced at Nuo Xia, and stopped talking.
"There's nothing to be shy about, tell me."
"That's right." Flying Squirrel considered it and said, "This morning, while you were still practicing in the training room, Wilson contacted me on the phone and revealed a piece of news."
"It is said that the deputy chief Rey, as soon as he returned to the Holy Land, hurriedly went to see the Five Old Stars."
"Halfway through the report, I didn't know what kind of crime I had committed. I just pulled out my gun and pointed it at the sofa and started shooting wildly, which shocked a few of the Five Old Stars..."
"Huh?" Ghost Spider suddenly became interested, "Is there such a thing? Why?"
"It was said that he saw a strange man with a spoon. He has been chasing him for the past few days. The reason why he drew his gun and shot was because he saw the strange man suddenly appeared next to Lord Wulaoxing..."
Is this retribution and madness?
Ghost Spider was about to say hello when he suddenly got excited and turned his head to look at Nuo Xia blankly, as if he remembered something.
"Look at what I'm doing, can you blame me for him going crazy?"
Nuo Xia's expression did not change, and she continued to drink borscht slowly, "Continue, what next? How to deal with it? The end will probably be miserable, right?"
"yes……"
Flying Squirrel couldn't see anything from Nuo Xia's face. He smiled bitterly and simply stopped asking any more questions. He continued to speak honestly, "Master Wulaoxing was so angry that he removed his position on the spot and ordered him to be sent to Judicial Island.
The interrogation process is expected to be completed in a few days, and I will have to go to Impel Down to squat."
"Good."
Nosha finally finished his borscht and raised his head with a smile, "That guy Doflamingo, after losing his red hair, he felt a little lonely. Now he has many inmates around him."
"You guys go on, I'm done eating, let's go first."
After saying these words, he no longer paid attention to the expressions of Ghost Spider and Flying Squirrel. He picked up his coat and put it on his shoulders. He walked out of the restaurant leisurely and headed towards the training room.
On the way, he opened the system panel and glanced at a certain item in the backpack column.
[Spoon Killer Summoning Card]
[Type: permanent props]
[Description: After using it on any target within sight, the target will be attacked by the Spoon Killer five times a day for the next month. The attack timing is not fixed. Each attack will ignore the defense and cause the maximum health value.
One percent fixed damage]
[Note: Each use will cost 500 points, and the cooling time is six months. The Spoon Killer is only visible to the target and the player]
…
Of course Rey did not go crazy suddenly. The reason why he ended up like this was naturally because he had already used this item on him when they separated from the white town that night.
Originally, Nuo Xia just had the mentality of torturing and teasing the other party, and did not expect this thing to be of any great use.
He had even made preparations in advance. As soon as Rey left the Holy Land and there were signs of going to Beihai again, he would immediately and secretly make a sudden and inexplicable death on the way.
Unexpectedly, whether this guy was too unlucky or too impatient, just when he was being received by the Five Old Stars, he was chased by the Spoon Killer, and even committed the so-called "lost before the king".
"Yi" stupid thing.
That's pretty good too.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the current Impel Down City is half of his home court. With Rey being imprisoned there, it will be much more convenient for him to do evil things in the future.
Just when I was feeling comfortable, there was a sudden commotion at the front of the deck.
"Hey, what is that?"
"It seems like a swimming fish... No, is it a human? That's not right either, it's too far away and I can't see clearly."
"There seems to be a boat chasing after me..."
…
There was a faint buzz of discussion, and Nuo Xia came to the bow of the ship. The sailors who were watching in front of the railing quickly moved away and stood upright to salute.
"Lieutenant General!"
"What's going on?"
Nuo Xia looked into the distance and could vaguely see the shadow of a black ship, chasing the figure swimming in the sea in front of him. He looked away and his eyes fell on a lieutenant colonel on duty.
"The report is too far away, Lieutenant General, and we are not sure."
The lieutenant colonel handed over a monocular telescope and hesitantly reported:
"But it seems that those on the sea are slaves who broke away and escaped, and what is chasing them behind seems to be a slave ship."
