Annan turned over the document and read it three or four times.
Although the black text in the newspaper was clearly written, Annan still couldn't believe it.
"No matter how you read the order, it won't change." Esdeath said, "Didn't you say that following General Akainu is the best arrangement?"
"When did I say that following Akainu was the best arrangement?" Annan stuffed the transfer order back into the document bag and made a sudden movement.
"That's not right." Annan looked at Esdeath.
"How did you know that I would be transferred to General Akainu?"
"He told me before on the volcanic island." Esdeath said, "He said he could tell you. When I came back and saw your tone, I thought you already knew it, so I didn't say anything."
"You!"
"What are you!" Esdeath glared at Annan, "I can tell you but I don't have to."
Annan sighed.
"I..."
"What am I!" Esdeath interrupted him again, raising the document bag in his hand, "Don't you want to know where I went?"
"Do you even need to think about it? It must be so, forget it, let's not talk about it."
A big navy man walked in from the outside. He saw Annan when he entered the door. He took out the photos to compare, walked quickly, saluted, and said seriously:
"Major Annan, I am Colonel Rhodes, a direct subordinate of General Akainu. The general wants to see you. Please come with me now."
"I haven't finished my meal yet. You guys are doing a good job connecting me." Annan looked down at the hot pot, then looked up at Rhodes, sighed, and stood up to return the favor.
"Please lead the way."
Annan left the hot pot restaurant, followed Rhodes into the headquarters building, and came to Akainu's office.
"The general is waiting for you inside." Rhodes stood at the door and said to Annan.
It is a spacious office with an open door. You can come in directly without knocking. There is not so much red tape, just like Sakaski's style of doing things.
Annan straightened his clothes at the door and walked into the office. There was a navy hat on the desk. There was no one behind him. There was a plaque hanging on the wall that read "Complete Justice". He looked to the left and right. p>
At this time, Akainu was not wearing a hat, showing a very distinctive crew cut, and was bare-chested. He had many tattoos on his body. From his left chest to his elbow was a tattoo of roses and cherry blossoms, and on his right arm was a sword. He was sitting cross-legged in the yard.
Take a small pair of scissors nearby and trim the green plants.
A real boss.
Sakaski, Navy code name "Akainu".
One of the "Navy Headquarters Admirals" with the highest combat power in the Navy Headquarters
A user with the natural "rock berry fruit" ability.
Adhering to "thorough justice".
Navy version of "gin".
I have a good relationship with Kizaru.
He will kill all the seeds of evil and has extremely harsh and strong beliefs. A pure navy who has lived as an elite navy force since the beginning of the great pirate era, he is merciless and eliminates evil, so the navy subordinates are also very afraid of him. p>
Seeing someone coming in, Akainu slowly stood up.
Annan took a deep breath, came to Akainu, stood at attention and saluted.
"General Akainu, this is our first meeting, please give me some advice."
Annan's heart was pounding, for fear that something was wrong and the Hades would come over.
Akainu crossed his arms and looked at Annan with a stern expression.
"August Annan, this is our first meeting."
He took the clothes off the hanger and put them on, walked behind the desk and sat down. He picked up the hat on the desk and put it on his head. He pointed to the chair opposite him.
"Are you still standing? Sit down."
Annan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, walked over and did it, looking well-behaved.
"Forget it, let's take the initiative to go out."
Before Akainu could speak, Annan asked first:
"General, I don't quite understand why you chose me? My behavior is completely different from your troops."
Akainu raised his head suddenly and looked directly at Annan.
A sentence suddenly popped into Annan's mind.
"Have you ever fought for yourself in your life?"
"It's over, it's over, the way you spoke is wrong, now I really have to eat the dog of Hades. He won't just demote me and send me to the world, right?"
"Hey, demoted? Sent to all over the world?"
The brain is working rapidly.
"This year is 1519 in the Haiyuan calendar, and it is almost the end of the year. A certain filial son has been active in the newspaper for more than two years. In other words, next year at the latest, we will usher in the largest war since the beginning of the Great Pirate Age.
——On top of the war."
"And now that I am joining the Akainu faction, which is the most capable at the top...why do I feel like I have been a eunuch for a year or two?"
"In the war, he was the main C and I was the assistant? Don't be kidding me. I didn't have the blessing of the original work, so I accidentally left it there."
"But if I were demoted and sent to the Four Seas, although I still can't hide from the top, I can still paddle in the crowd."
As soon as the idea came out, Annan's upright appearance disappeared. He put his hands in his pockets, leaned on the chair with his whole body, and crossed his legs.
Akainu smiled slightly when he saw Annan's change of attitude.
"Very good, arrogant people should look arrogant. I look down on you for your timid look just now."
Akainu took out a box of cigars from the drawer and handed it to Annan, "I heard that you like cigarettes, but I only have cigars here. Do you want to smoke?"
"Eh? Something's wrong." Annan's eyes were stunned.
"Why is it different from what I thought?"
Take the cigar, raise your index finger, a flame appears, and light it.
Since I gained this ability, I no longer have to carry a lighter with me.
"Cough cough cough."
Annan was choked and coughed.
"It seems like you can't smoke a cigar through your lungs." Annan tried several times and finally mastered the correct way to smoke.
"I know what you are going to say."
"You and Esdeath are both excellent navies. To be honest, you two want both, but the allocation is the responsibility of the marshal."
"Damn Porusalino..." A flash of red appeared on Akainu's fist.
"You actually went to the marshal with such a shameful face!"
Kizaru's office at this time.
Kizaru pushed the brewed tea in the direction of Esdeath.
"Would you like some tea?"
Esdeath glared at Kizaru, held the tea cup and took a sip.
"I know that you were angry with me before, so I asked Sakaski to come out and fight with you. Has your anger dissipated now?"
Kizaru had a kind smile on his face, and looked at Esdeath like he was looking at a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Esdeath rolled her eyes and crossed her long legs. "I understand, old man, I won't be angry with you anymore."
"That's great." Kizaru's tone showed no emotion.
"The freedom of movement you want, I have approved it."
"Really? Old man!" Esdeath looked delighted.
"Of course~ But if I ask you to do something, you can't refuse. Don't worry, there won't be many~" Kizaru said with a smile.
"Porusalino wants to leave her just to make it easier for him to be lazy!"
"Although Mr. Esdeath likes it, she has a bad problem and will let some pirates go." Akainu said.
"Forget it, don't lie to yourself." Annan complained in his heart.
"She has a beautiful voice and is very powerful. Wherever she is placed, she will be the flower of the faction. How can you not be jealous?"
"Don't look downcast." Akainu continued.
"But you are different. You treat pirates without mercy. This is very good. I hope you will continue to do so."
"You have done very well in the affairs of the Kingdom of Duolun. This is how you should deal with evil. Although some fish slipped through the net in the end, this was the limit that you could achieve as a navy in the world at that time."
"I know people like you best. If you perform missions with ordinary generals, it will be a drag on you."
"So I will give you the right to move freely, and you can go wherever you want."
