On the Ice and Fire Man, Annan was reporting work to Akainu.
".........As for the situation in Alabasta, that's basically it."
Annan crossed his arms and said to the phone bug.
"The Blackbeard Pirates were driven into the sea by Esdeath and their whereabouts are unknown. Marco, the navy who came for reinforcements saw him flying away from Alabasta, and the Straw Hat Pirates...according to our speculation, they are still hiding in
Here, however, Princess Weiwei is very close to them, so the navy’s search operation will probably be in vain.”
"Originally, I thought this was just a simple Shichibukai theft incident, but the Whitebeard Pirates, the Blackbeard Pirates and... the Straw Hat Pirates actually appeared in Alabasta at the same time, which is really unexpected."
"Phoenix Marco, Diamond Jozi, Blackbeard Teach... If we can catch them all, the pirate forces in the New World, especially the forces of the Four Emperors Whitebeard, will be severely damaged!" Akainu said solemnly.
"At that time, the navy will have the opportunity to annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates in one fell swoop, and even end the era of great pirates!"
"Well, I don't deny this." Annan nodded.
"You are short of manpower. You and Esdeath alone cannot retain all of them."
"Now that the matter in Alabasta has been settled, it's a pity that Ace escaped. How about... I capture him again?" Annan said.
"Let's put the matter of Ace aside for now. You and Esdeath go back to the headquarters first," Akainu said.
"No matter how you say it, Wang Shichibukai is still on the side of the World Government. Crocodile's stupid things in Alabasta have become a big deal. Now many alliance countries know about it. In order to reduce the impact, the World Government
I want to end this battle secretly."
"Although there is no reward for no merit, the World Government will still impose a lot of credit on you that does not belong to you for the sake of prestige."
"Oh, there is such a good thing." Annan's eyes lit up, "But boss, can you talk to the people in the World Government? Wait for promotions and so on, and convert all the credit you gave me into money.
That’s enough, I’m short of money now.”
"Okay, I was afraid you wouldn't want it, but it's good for you to ask for it."
Akainu snorted coldly, "Don't think about it, look at the time and the commendation order will come out soon. When you go back, remember to tell Esdeath that you will accept the commendation given by the World Government. With your current military rank, the World Government will secretly make a stumbling block."
It’s easy to cause some trouble for you.”
"Especially don't imitate Smoker!"
"Okay, okay, I will never imitate him. If you don't have anything else to do, boss, I'll hang up first." Annan suppressed a smile and hung up the phone.
After leaving the cabin and getting off the ship, Annan heard Smoker's roar from afar:
"Hey, listen up, it was Annan and Esdeath who saved the people of Alabasta, and it was the Straw Hats and the pirates who defeated Crocodile!!"
"Smog, don't waste your efforts, just accept it, just think of it as receiving the reward on their behalf." Tina advised from the side.
The phone bug was not affected by Smoker in any way and continued: "The senior government officials are going to award you with medals, and your military rank will be upgraded to another level..."
“What a bunch of losers!”
"Tina doesn't understand. What good will it do to you to go against the top management?"
"What good does it do me to go against the top management? It's because I didn't do it that my subordinates cried so miserably."
"Hey, help me tell the old man at the top." Veins appeared on Smoker's forehead.
