The office shook, and the aftermath of the battle on the island had spread to the warship.
Annan subconsciously touched the handle of the "Muramasa" knife at his waist.
"Sa, don't be so nervous, Sakaski knows the importance of severity." Kizaru drank tea leisurely.
He knows the importance of shit!
Annan said nothing and silently released the handle of the knife.
"Do you want to try it too? If you miss the battle with the general this time, you will never have it again~"
"Hahahaha, I won't go." Annan shook his head.
Fighting Akainu? Am I crazy or is the world crazy?
What's more.
"As a boss, I know the strength of my subordinates. What did I do in the past?"
Since the headquarters has assigned Esdeath and him to Kizaru and Akainu by default, then there is no need to think about it, Esdeath will definitely be taken away by Akainu.
"Oh, have you guessed something?" Kizaru said in surprise.
"You need to guess? You can see it just by looking at it."
Annan took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth. A flame appeared on his index finger, and he lit the cigarette.
But speaking of it, since Esdeath is with Akainu, then what I say...
Annan looked at Kizaru who was still holding the teacup and sipping tea.
"It seems that Annan has seen through everything. It's really scary."
Kizaru put down the teacup.
"But I still have something I want to ask you in person."
Kizaru looked at Annan, his sunglasses shining with a strange light.
"When you first joined the navy, you treated all pirates without mercy."
"However, you have gradually slacked off since three years ago. You went from hunting down pirates everywhere in the South China Sea, to only operating within your own jurisdiction, and now you can't see anything. The changes are a bit big~"
Annan smoked silently, and the lingering smoke made it difficult to see his face.
"I also think this question is a bit sharp. After all, it is about justice and ideals." Kizaru's tone did not reveal his attitude.
"Actually, it's nothing."
Annan said slowly.
"It's just that one night I suddenly realized——"
"There is no end to the number of pirates that can be killed."
"Because the environment for people to become pirates has always existed."
"Oh~ I didn't expect you to say such a thing." Kizaru said in surprise.
"You didn't ask yet." Annan shrugged.
Anyway, we will be under his command in the future, and this question will have to be answered sooner or later. It is better to say it now. Of course, some of the outrageous comments should be more obscure.
"The more I know personally, the more I can feel the helplessness of this great pirate era."
"In the face of endless pirates, what is supposed to come will always come. If you can't stop it, they won't listen to you."
"All I can do is minimize the impact caused by pirates."
"What's it called? Well, by the way, the wave of the times."
Annan changed to a comfortable sitting position and continued.
"The wave started by Roger the Pirate King cannot be stopped casually,"
"So, I have decided now that I only need to take care of my one-third of an acre of land. I can't control anything else, and I don't want to."
After speaking, Annan leaned back on the chair.
"Sa, you are thinking the same thing as me. I thought you were this kind of person from the first time I saw your profile."
Kizaru said with a smile.
"Such a subordinate is really compatible with me."
"As expected, I was assigned to Kizaru's command." Annan thought to himself.
Kizaru glanced out the window.
"It seems that things are almost done over at Sakaski. I'll go and have a few words with him. You just stay here and don't move around."
After saying that, he turned into a ray of light and flew out of the window.
"This ability is really useful."
Annan lowered his head and thought, "Can I develop my ability in flying?"
As he was thinking about various possibilities in his mind, Esdeath opened the door and came in.
"Annan, you are still here, let me tell you something."
"I know, isn't it because you were assigned to General Akainu?" Annan waved his hand, interrupting Esdeath's words.
"I was just thinking about the development of Devil Fruit, you said..."
Seeing that Annan came to discuss something with her, whether it was about combat, Esdeath suddenly became interested.
Everything I wanted to say before was forgotten.
Another day passed, and they finally returned to their headquarters.
It was already evening when the warship docked.
The two came to the residential area of Marinvando and walked into the house they bought before.
"Oh, I'm really exhausted."
"Look, this is the benefit of buying a house. Otherwise, you would have to live in the temporary dormitory at the headquarters now." Annan said to Esdeath proudly while lying on the bed with a "big" sign.
"Okay, you're right."
Esdeath changed into pajamas and walked to the bed.
"Go over there."
Esdeath climbed onto the bed and squeezed Annan.
The furniture Annan bought before was very large, so it would not be a problem for two or three people to sleep on the bed.
"Oh, this is my room. Your bedroom is at the opposite door." Annan shrank to the side.
"I am the owner of this house, I can be wherever I want." Esdeath turned sideways, facing Annan.
"Why, not convinced?"
Headquarters building.
Although it is late at night, the lights in the marshal's office are still on.
"Porusalino, is this your and Sakaski's decision?"
Warring States looked at the documents in his hands.
"Does Sengoku-san find it strange?" Kizaru asked.
"No, He was originally prepared to do this." Warring States chuckled.
"Do those two brats know?"
"Sakaski already said it, I didn't tell Annan," Kizaru said.
