Chapter 137 Nuoxia's Backers and Backgrounds (Part 2) [3/3]
In the Japanese-style courtyard, the simple deer made of bamboo, followed by the patter of rain, made a soft "pop" sound from time to time, causing the goldfish in the pool to scatter in all directions.
The sky and the earth are covered with white mist, and the water mist is filled with steam.
The white-haired crane sat cross-legged at the door of the screen, looking at the curtains in the courtyard. Thinking of the high-level meeting of the headquarters that just ended not long ago, the wrinkles on his face seemed to get deeper.
"My worries are insurmountable..."
She sighed softly and laughed at herself, "If you can't even protect that kid, then are the ones protected by the Navy really still just?"
Although she had only met Nuo Xia a few times, she had a good impression of the little guy with a warm and sunny temperament. She had already regarded him as a leader of the younger generation and even the future hope of the entire navy headquarters.
And this time, it was obviously to save thousands of innocent children and punish the pirates, but because of the special status of the other party, the little guy had to be sent to a military court and face prison?
Let the hero bleed and cry?
...how ironic.
With inner struggle and pain intertwined, He closed his eyes tiredly. He always felt that he should do something, but he missed such a subtle point and could not make up his mind.
And just then.
The pale green old telephone bug suddenly squirmed slowly from the room to the screen, facing its owner who had been with it for many years, raised its head and let out a soft cry of "Bulu, Bulu".
Are there any more meetings to be held?
He opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he picked up the phone.
The result surprised her slightly.
"elder sister."
On the other end of the phone, Peach Rabbit's low voice sounded.
…………
Headquarters elite camp, training ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One iron fist after another hit the iron wall, smashing it into pieces in an instant. Continuous explosions were heard in the increasingly heavy rain.
Zefa held a big black umbrella and stood in front of the barbed wire fence, silently watching his old friend Garp vent his anger. Almost half of the training ground was destroyed by the latter.
boom!
Another punch made a huge hole several meters deep in the ground. Garp finally stopped and returned to the door. He ignored the black umbrella Zefa handed over and just stood wet in the rain, expressionlessly talking to him. The latter looked at each other.
"Still unhappy?"
Zefa held a toothpick in his mouth and asked calmly.
"nonsense!"
Garp's face was as gloomy as water, "Although it's not the first time... But this is really the last time I've wanted to rush to Mary Joa, and punch those high-level government officials in the face in the past few years... "
"And those fat pigs with bubble hoods?"
"You can't be so disrespectful to the great Celestial Dragons." Garp glanced sideways at Zefa, "Hey, Zefa, that brat Noxia, from every angle, he is your proud disciple, right?"
"certainly."
Zefa nodded without hesitation and said with a smile, "What is more precious than potential is character. Facing power without fear, being able to become his teacher is one of the things I am most proud of in the past ten years."
"What a coincidence."
Garp grinned, "I'm very proud to be his guide to the headquarters, so it's boring to not be able to see him grow step by step in the headquarters, right?"
"It's really boring."
Zefa looked through the rain curtain at the empty training ground and said quietly:
"However, the most proud disciple is sent to court by one of our own people. If this happens, it will be the most boring to continue to serve as the instructor of the elite camp."
"Hahahaha, it seems you have made a decision, Zefa!"
Garp finally showed a happy smile, patted his old friend on the shoulder, and laughed:
"It just so happens that I have been in the navy for so many years and am tired. How about leaving this meaningless and boring thing to those bastards who side with the Tianlong people?"
Zefa spit out the toothpick from the corner of his mouth and grinned.
"Just what I wanted."
……………
In the garden of the two-story villa.
Roses and peonies were in full bloom all over the courtyard, and the veins of the flowers and leaves stretched in the rain. A skinny old lady walked through it, paying no attention to the increasing rain, and slowly pruned the branches...
Rainy days are very suitable for sleeping.
Dingchun was lying on the wooden floor taking a nap at the moment, but little Tina, who had just finished taking a bath, had no intention of going back to the house to rest. She lay on Dingchun's soft belly and looked at the figure in the garden with a worried face.
"Grandma, it's raining heavily."
After waiting for a while, Tina couldn't help but remind her, "You will get sick if you get caught in the rain. There is no rush to prune flowers and plants. It will be the same no matter how busy you are tomorrow..."
"Maybe we won't be here tomorrow?"
The skinny old lady didn't even raise her head, still staring at the flowers and plants she was taking care of.
"It's taken half a year to take care of this garden like this. It's inevitable that I'm a little reluctant to leave it. Let me, an old lady, serve these little flowers one last time."
"oh……"
Tina blinked, as if she understood something.
"Have you decided yet?"
"I made my decision from the moment I stepped out of the conference room door."
Zhizi put away the gardening scissors, turned around, and said with a smile, "I'm obviously used to staying in my hometown in Xihai. If it weren't for that kid, I wouldn't have returned to this place. Now that he's gone, I'll continue to stay."
It doesn’t seem to be interesting here.”
"Yeah……"
Tina tilted her head and looked at the towering headquarters fortress in the rain. She felt a little reluctant, but in the end she nodded, "It's really not interesting. Gur Island is more fun."
"..."
Zhizi looked at her, with a gentle and beautiful smile on his old face, "Then don't lie down here, go pack your things, let's go back to the West Sea early tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Tina nodded obediently, turned around and entered the door.
Wow!
Behind her, the sound of rain suddenly became louder, pouring down like the Milky Way in the darkening night.
…………
The next morning.
On the only way to the headquarters fortress, five figures coming from all directions happened to meet at a fork in the road.
When they saw the white letters in each other's hands, they were slightly startled at first, and then couldn't help but laugh in tacit understanding.
"Hey, Warring States, didn't you say yesterday that you didn't want to deal with this shit anymore?"
"There's no other way, I'm not willing to do it. Who asked someone to call and cry for mercy for that kid..."
"He, why are you here too? That boy is not familiar with you, right?"
"I'm not familiar with him, but I can't bear to think that someone in my family is familiar with him."
"Hahahahaha! Zefa, did you hear that? We are not the only ones who came to join in the fun!"
Five remnants of the old era, five legendary navies who once fought side by side, stood in a row again at this moment, and walked into the headquarters fortress building together under countless surprised eyes.
…
In the year 1501 of the Hainan calendar, it was the last day of August. The scorching heat was still there and autumn had not yet arrived.
The heavy rain fell from late at night to dawn, which was destined to be an uneventful day.
This day.
Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Buddha's Warring States Period.
The legendary naval hero, Lieutenant General "Iron Fist" Garp.
Chief of General Staff of the Naval Headquarters, Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Deputy Chief of General Staff of the Naval Headquarters, Lieutenant General Zhizi.
Chief instructor of the elite battalion of the Navy Headquarters and former general Zefa!
Five senior members of the headquarters, who were arrested by the CP department and escorted to Judiciary Island for killing Nosha of the Shichibukai, jointly submitted letters of resignation to the Navy Headquarters and the World Government at the same time!
When the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar and the headquarters was shocked!
