"I'm very sorry, Major Annan, I can't answer your question, it involves the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Kunta."
"What the hell is this internal affairs?" Annan said speechlessly, "But what about your successor, the Navy? You can talk about the internal affairs of the Navy."
"This...actually..."
"Forget it, it won't be difficult for you."
Annan saw old Bodie hesitating and changed his words.
"Let's talk about other topics."
"I heard that there is a navy named Tully in the base who is very popular with people in the port town. We would like to meet her. Is she here now?"
Old Bodie suddenly raised his head.
"Who are you talking about?" he said in a panic.
"What's wrong with one of your navy's namesake Tali?" Annan asked in confusion.
"We don't have a navy named Tully here."
Old Bodie lowered his head and kept repeating.
"No...no..."
I don't know if it is the sequelae of excessive drinking, but old Bodie's left hand has been shaking.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw Annan and Esdeath staring at him.
Esdeath stared at Old Bodie's eyes, her ice blue eyes turned red, and she suddenly saw the emotion in Old Bodie's eyes.
His eyes were full of panic, fear, and...repentance?
"Brigadier General Bodie, I think you'd better talk about Tully." The corner of Esdeath's mouth raised slightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Bodie felt a powerful momentum sweeping through his body, and his whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
"Don't be domineering among colleagues. The impact will not be good."
Annan felt something was wrong in the atmosphere in the office and interrupted her by touching her with his elbow.
"Humph."
Esdeath rolled her eyes at Annan, and almost at the same time, the pressure on Old Bodie disappeared.
"It seems that this is also related to the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Kunta." Annan said with a smile to the old Bodie who kept breathing heavily.
Old Bodie nodded silently.
"That's it." Annan snapped his fingers, "Don't answer anything I say. If I'm right, you just nod. If I'm wrong, you just shake your head."
"Okay."
Seeing that Old Bodie agreed, Annan said:
"In recent months, there has been a major dispute between you and the Kingdom of Kunta."
Old Bodie nodded.
"This dispute has resulted in the Navy losing its autonomy in Shidao. It cannot go to the port town at will, nor can it enter and exit the port at will. It can only stay in the base and towers."
Old Bodie nodded again.
Annan thought for a while and then said:
"There is no navy named Tully in the current naval base, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one in the past, such as a few months ago."
Old Bodie nodded again.
"When we mentioned Tully, you acted very panicked, so there is a great relationship between Tully and you. For example, she is your successor, or someone who promoted you to brigadier general. Of course, it is also possible that she is
The main culprit that led to today’s frustrating situation.”
Hearing this, Old Bodie looked complicated, but he still nodded.
"Nod, these three I mentioned are related to this Tully?" Annan was a little surprised, "It can't be such a coincidence."
"I have one last sentence..."
"It goes without saying, Major Annan." Old Bodie said, "You already know almost everything. I'll leave the rest to myself."
"Oh, please tell me."
Old Bodie was silent for a long time, his red and purple lips trembling slightly:
"If your subordinates violate the laws of the franchise country, what will you do as your boss?"
"My subordinate broke the law? Who, Anderson?" Annan said.
"No, I'm talking about hypotheticals, hypotheticals," Old Bodie immediately explained, "Suppose a navy violates the laws of the participating countries. How will the superiors deal with it?"
"What if." Annan leaned on the sofa and thought for a while.
"It depends on the individual. The franchise country has no right to deal with it. As a boss, you can protect him or punish him. Of course, you can also report it to the headquarters for handling. But anyway, I handle it myself according to the seriousness of the matter.
."
Annan and Esdeath felt strange about old Bodie's question.
Whether in the Four Seas or the Grand Line, as a subsidiary organization of the World Government, the navy is not bound by the laws of the participating countries. This is something that the navy at the general level must know.
The only thing the franchised countries can do is to complain to the world government.
At this time, there will be a specialized agency, the Naval Criminal Investigation Bureau, to investigate and collect evidence, and then submit the evidence to the headquarters, which will then transfer it to the Judicial Island for trial.
Of course, the franchised countries can also complain and protest directly to the Navy Headquarters, which is more efficient.
Old Bodie didn't say anything. He tremblingly picked up a bottle of wine on his desk, unscrewed the cap, and took a big sip from the bottle.
"Then...if she announces that she is quitting the navy, do the participating countries have the right to deal with it?"
"Quiting from the Navy?" Annan hesitated, "You also need to get approval from your superiors to withdraw from the Navy. If approved, that person will no longer be in the Navy. Of course, the joining countries have the right to deal with it."
"That's it...hahaha." Old Bodie chuckled twice and lay on the desk with his arms pillowed on his head.
Annan thought for a moment and asked with some disbelief: "Didn't Tully break the laws of the Kingdom of Quinta and then apply to you to leave the navy?"
"Yes." Old Bodie opened the drawer and took out a photo, then stood up with his hands on the table, walked crookedly to Annan and Esdeath, and handed the photo over.
"Pacheco Tully, former branch navy captain."
Esdeath took the photo, which showed old Bodie taking a photo with a girl. This girl should be Tully.
The girl in the photo has light freckles on her face, smiles happily, and looks like a cheerful person.
Esdeath took a quick look at it and gave the photo to Annan.
"Captain of the branch, I can indeed be your successor." Annan said while holding the photo, "But why did she leave the navy?"
"Every naval base has more or less recruitment tasks." Old Bodie said, "The Kingdom of Kunta is a country that prohibits people from going to sea. Under the long-term propaganda of the Kingdom of Kunta, they generally believe that outside the wall is
It’s dangerous, no one wants to be a navy.”
"So this Tali is the first person to eat crabs." Annan said, "She is from this country, and she also joined the navy."
"That's why she asked to quit the navy after breaking the law and go to trial in the Kingdom of Kunta."
"But why didn't you stop her? Under normal circumstances, as long as the circumstances are not particularly serious, Judiciary Island will not do anything to the navy. At most, they will be transferred to a naval base similar to G-5 and let them fend for themselves." p>
"There's a reason why I didn't stop her, Major Annan."
Old Bodie said with pain on his face: "Tali is not an ordinary citizen of the Quinta Kingdom."
"She is the daughter of the King of Quinta Kingdom."
