Chapter 79: The Opportunity for the Golden Lion to Break Out of Prison
It's a pity that when I was at the Navy Headquarters, if I picked up a random person on the roadside, his military rank would be much higher than that of Wood, a lieutenant colonel. As a "commander" there, he really couldn't act cool.
However, it was different when Wood came to Impel Down City. Being assigned to this kind of position was honestly not much different from being exiled.
Seeing that Wood had just left for a month, he jumped from the rank of private, a senior cannon fodder, to the position of lieutenant commander. The dozens of salted fish left in Impel Down City were even more convinced of the previous speculation that there was someone behind Wood.
Are positions in the navy so easy to upgrade? Have you not seen that many people have been working in the navy for more than ten years and are still ordinary cannon fodder?
Either you have great strength or you have achieved amazing results, otherwise, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to be promoted so quickly.
Wood was a third-class soldier before, which directly ruled out the possibility that he was very capable.
As for achieving astonishing achievements, Wood's side has only been away for a month, and they really can't think of any short-term tasks that can lead to eight levels in a row.
Then there is only one possibility left. Wood has someone in the Navy Headquarters, maybe even the illegitimate son of a big boss.
In the beginning, he was assigned to a place like Impel Down, which was just a place where nothing happened, just to divert his attention. Once he had merit, he was transferred back to be gilded, and then he could be promoted naturally.
"Sir Wood, please have some tea. This is a good tea that my subordinates have saved for a long time. I have been reluctant to drink it before, just to honor you."
"Chief Wood, is the strength of my massage okay?"
Since Wood returned to Impel City, the attitude of the naval team stationed in Impel City has undergone a 180-degree change from before.
Either serving tea or water, just asking for help, which seems to be more of a coward than a coward.
As for the reason why they were so attentive, Wood could probably guess a lot. It was simply that there was a backstage behind Wood, and they wanted to try to hug them and let Wood take them to fly together.
"It's actually not what you think. This time I was promoted from the original rank of private third class to the rank of lieutenant commander, and it was all at the risk of my life.
This mission can be called a narrow escape. If it weren’t for my good luck, you might not be able to see me.”
Seeing Wood's serious expression, the few salted fish that were originally surrounding Wood were also stunned. Then the captain of the team, the navy captain, curiously asked the question in his mind.
"I don't know what mission Chief Wood is on this time, but tell us so that we can admire your heroic appearance."
Following the captain's words, the other salted fish also looked at Wood with curious expressions. In fact, they were also quite curious about what kind of mission Wood was going to perform and how many levels he could level up in a row.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just..., ahem, because it's a confidential mission, it can't be exposed, you know."
When we lived in the same dormitory with Smoker, his younger brother was too serious and would not cooperate every time, which made Wood very boring.
There was a group of salty fish who wanted to hear his bragging, and Wood was naturally very interested. However, as soon as the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that he had hidden his identity when he went on a mission with Gion.
If it was exposed now, there was no guarantee that it wouldn't reveal something in the future, so Wood decisively shut up again.
When they saw Wood's expression suddenly stopping mid-sentence, everyone else, including the captain, showed a look of understanding.
And secretly slandering in his heart, God's secret mission is obviously to get credit, because he didn't do any shit, so there is nothing to talk about now.
Of course, I am complaining in my heart, but as a veteran in the workplace, the expressions on the faces of the salty fish present are still quite good.
Although they didn't know what Wood had done, they were flattering each other loudly, taking out the little ink left in their stomachs and bragging to Wood.
"In short, Chief Wood will be my boss from now on. As long as you say a word, no matter whether it is going up the mountain of knives or going down into the sea of fire, my brothers will follow you!"
The thighs are right in front of them. If they want to get promoted and get a raise, and leave this inhospitable place, the captain and the others think that being a junior is not an option.
"Are you really willing to work with me? Even if I make some mistakes, are you still willing to accompany me?"
After hearing what Wood said, the captain and others felt that Wood was testing their loyalty, and they immediately beat their chests loudly, saying that as brothers, we share blessings and hardships.
No..., as the younger brothers, they will bear the burden of misfortune. As long as there is good fortune, the boss should not forget them, the younger brothers.
After hearing the speeches of several people, Wood was deeply moved. He just felt that it was a pity that Smoker was not here. Look at him, he is a truly qualified young man!
After returning to Impel Down for several days, Wood never took action because he had been waiting for an opportunity.
If he took action now, Wood could only allow a few prisoners assigned to him by Warring States to escape, which was far from the standard for completing the mission.
Although I don’t know if Sengoku has communicated with the prison director of Impel Down City, it is definitely a sure thing that once Wood releases more than a hundred criminals, they will be set on fire.
Wood, who had previously been a blessing in disguise in Mariejoia, had evolved his "sense of dominance", and his strength has indeed become much stronger again.
But even so, Wood was not confident that he could withstand the combat power of the entire Impel Down City by himself and successfully let hundreds of prisoners escape.
Little Sati, Shiliu of the Rain, and Magellan are not easy to use, not to mention there are a huge number of number beasts and a few jailer beasts.
So Wood has been waiting for an opportunity. According to his previous life simulation experience, the time for Golden Lion Shiji to escape from prison should be in the near future.
And when the Golden Lion escapes from prison, most of Impel City's combat power will definitely be concentrated on him. By then, Wood, who is fishing in troubled waters, will have a much easier time completing the mission.
Impel Down City Level 6 Infinite Hell, in a dark dungeon, a man with long golden hedgehog hair, dressed as a prisoner, his feet were bound by sea tower stone chains, and his eyes looked at him with a look of despair.
legs.
Two years ago, Shiji could not believe that Gol D. Roger, who was considered his opponent, would be arrested, so he single-handedly entered the Marine Headquarters "Marinvandor" to confirm.
And he learned from Garp that Roger, whom he regarded as his opponent, would be executed in the "Weakest Sea". Shiki felt the anger from before and thought this was an insult to Roger, the Pirate King.
Because the Navy was worried that Roger's execution would go wrong, it sent Garp and Sengoku to fight against Shiji. In the end, the battle ended with Shiji's defeat after nearly half of the town of "Marinfando" was destroyed.
